On February 16th, there was less than half a month before the start of school in Jialan. Fastest updates

In the town of Corolla, 140 miles from Morningstar City, on the streets where the winter cold has not yet receded, passers-by are wrapped in scarves.

Like these people, Deres wore a thick cashmere trench coat with dark gray wool around his neck, which was unusually warm.

If the Shadow Footsteps have done Deres any good, it's now. He passed Wade's assessment ahead of schedule, became a member of the organization, got rid of his apprenticeship status, and was entrusted with important responsibilities as a result.

He had left Fa Blue City for Morning Star five days earlier. He was accompanied by Mr. Kohler, who was his bodyguard and responsible for making sure he didn't talk nonsense. So in Derees's opinion, that Mr. Ricky was still not at ease with him at all.

The purpose of this trip is very simple, that is, to find out Mu Yan's identity in Morning Star.

This was not Ricky's order, but Shadow Footsteps had received a commission from the other nobles, who had thoughtfully hinted that only the Edwards family of Morningstar had close ties with the Orientals, and that they might be considered in this regard.

This made Deres refresh his perception of aristocrats and wealthy people again, and also made him re-understand the shadow footsteps.

Although they are subordinate to Jialan's intelligence agency, they usually need to take on some private work to make the members' money bags bulge. Much of this operation relies on Mr. Wade's connections, and the process is somewhat like that of the private investigators and paparazzi on Earth, but their methods are much more sophisticated in comparison.

At the moment, although most of the members, including Wade, are under house arrest, the organization is still running as usual, except for a lock on everyone's heart.

As for the commission, Dreis was not at all surprised. Even he, a pseudo-aristocrat who is not in the stream and is not recognized, has more or less heard the discussion of Mu Yan in the Jialan aristocratic circle. Many people are eager to know where he came from and talk more about their after-dinner chat.

Even because of the rumors, many noble ladies who still have charm have become interested in this pair of master and servant, especially the overly handsome servant, some people say that the guy named Ah Yin is more handsome than the male elf.

It's like pulling out a honey-stained flower surrounded by butterflies, and it's no wonder Wade jokes that most commissions are pink letterheads.

Rich people really do whatever they want...... Deres thought so more than once.

At this time, he didn't know that Mu Yan and William had already fought each other, and he didn't know that since two days ago, the royal family had also become curious about Mu Yan's identity and gave the same order to the shadow footsteps.

……

As he walked down the cold street, he found a nondescript workshop surrounded by a fence, a sign at the door called "Skillful Joey", and what appeared to be bamboo baskets and wood carvings in the yard.

"Don't look, Shadow Footsteps is a carpenter's workshop in the Morningstar's branch, it's an old tradition."

"Oh......"

Khloe's explanation dispelled his doubts and allowed him to confirm that the other party was still there.

This guy is really outrageously strong, Deres thought to himself. He didn't notice it along the way, and even thought that Kohler had left...... Genius assassins are as ubiquitous as air.

……

The wooden door was pushed open with a "creak", and the sound disturbed the owner of the house, and the other party also pushed the door and walked out.

It's a very short, not very good-looking guy, and he's bent over his waist, looking like a sick man, and he was a little frightened when he saw Derees.

"Are you Joey? Matthew said you're good at carpentry, so I'll take a look. Deres asked.

This is the code word that Kohler taught him, which means that he is a newcomer, and he is specially designed to get acquainted with people.

"Of course, I'm the best in Corolla City, is this old man going to be ready-made or custom-made?"

Joey greeted him eagerly.

The phrase is "are you here to pick up something or to issue a commission".

"Made-to-order, man, Matthew said you often supply the Morning Star's gentlemen." Deres stepped forward and shook his hand, meaning that this was a commission, and it was about Morningstar City.

"Then come in and talk." Joey nodded.

The two walked into the room one after the other, and Joey deliberately waited an extra second before closing the door.

Half an hour later, the two pushed the door out with a smile and agreed to pick up the goods here in three days.

It wasn't until he saw him walk away and sensed that Khloe was leaving with him that Joey breathed a sigh of relief, and then said respectfully to the air, "Miss Lanaya." ”

"Do what you have to do, the identity information is already given to you."

The voice floated into Joey's ears, and his heart tightened, and he said suspiciously: "Little stupid, I don't know ......"

"Oh...... I'm caught in that letter from you. It's the one you're going to send back to Jialan, which records that all the branches around Morning Star have been controlled by a mysterious woman asking for support or something, by the way, may I ask, 'strong outrageous and violent short woman' is talking about me? ”

The other party's voice was still flat, and no anger could be heard.

Joey froze, then overwhelmed by boundless fear.

He felt that he was about to run out of breath, a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't even get the courage to move a little thumb, and cold sweat broke out one by one.

"Pull ...... Lanaya ...... Adult ......"

"Don't apologize, go to work. I don't think I saw that letter, and I hope you have some respect for your life. Oh yes, change the wording, I'm not short. ”

Joey swallowed, and then gritted his teeth and took a step.

The so-called "work" is to make wood carvings in the backyard, and it can be vaguely seen from the few finished products on the shelves that there are Sulia, Mu Yan, and Ricky and Tom, etc., and it seems that everyone in the wind sky has a share.

……

On the other hand, Dreas didn't know that the branch of Corolla City had been controlled by Momoya, and he was still discussing the meaning of the code words with Kohler.

"Mr. Kohler, why does intelligence have to be replaced with other information?"

"It's just encryption, and the most common words are the best disguise."

But wouldn't there be many similarities in common dialogue? A lot of people say that......"

"Those 'similarities' won't mention 'Matthew' in the first sentence, and Joey won't take the initiative to get to know someone called Matthew, even if he does, he will inform the headquarters as soon as possible and change his codename."

Deres suddenly realized, he wanted to ask something more, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Wei ...... Principal William? ”

……

William stood in front of a laundry in front of an apron-wearing aunt. The latter beckoned a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a freckled face and two braids, who covered her mouth in surprise at the sight of William.

"Is that you?"

Even with such short words, she was crying, and her voice trembled.

"It's me." William nodded, trying not to be so majestic, but the little girl in front of him burst into tears.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry sir, I shouldn't have said that...... Please spare me, please ......"

Not only did she cry loudly, but she also sat on the ground with her ass slumped, unable to pull it up no matter how much the apron aunt pulled. For a while, the surrounding neighbors all gathered around and pointed at William.

William's clothes, in particular, were expensive at a glance, which attracted even greater criticism.

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the headmaster's two silver-gray eyebrows were almost entangled, when had he ever seen this kind of battle, often before people gathered a spell to throw out......

At this moment, a breathy shout came.

"Someone threw money!"

Then came the crisp jingle of the silver coins falling on the stone pavement, and the onlookers suddenly dispersed, and all bowed their heads to pick up the money.

William then realized that it was Drés who saved him, and the latter stepped forward, threw a gold coin in front of the aunt, gagged her, and then dragged the freckled girl with one hand, and took William into the laundry with him.
