Chapter 0074: Prologue to Turmoil (7)
Justin didn't stay in front of Jon and the others' tombstones for long, because after he learned that Jon's team had been murdered by the Six Warriors, he also got clues about his savior, Lord Louie.
As early as when Justin arrived in the metropolis of Kansas, he was the first to send people to find out Louie's whereabouts.
According to reports from his subordinates, Louis has left the Bounty Alliance's hotel and is now living in a mansion.
———————————————————
While Louis and Sylvie were talking in their study, there was a knock on the door of the mansion.
The knocker on the door kept being knocked on, and Damio, the housekeeper, was confused.
Because Damio has been a housekeeper here for a long time, he knows that his master Cinnabar hates the harassment of guests, so he has not claimed to live here, and she has also greeted the knight guards here, and she does not want to be disturbed by anyone unless there is a special emergency.
But now, there is a sudden visit, which is really puzzling.
When Damio walked out of the mansion and into the courtyard, he was a little worried.
Standing outside the gate was a bloated man, and behind the fat man stood several magical mercenaries and soldiers of the Imperial Knights' Guard.
The fat man's dress shows that his identity is not ordinary, and his ruddy face may be because the food is too good, and a greasy and plump luster emerges.
The magical mercenaries standing to the right of the fat man seemed to behave strangely, their eyes sharp, and they matched the emaciated faces like birds of prey. It seems that because they have been thugs for many years, their clothes are loose, and if nothing else, there must be sharp weapons hidden in them.
Damio doesn't have a good opinion of these magical mercenaries, and he agrees with those who attribute them to rioters as outliers of the magic troubadours. What irritated his touch was the smell of blood and resentment emanating from these people.
Damio also has a wealth of experience as a butler, and these experiences have taught him how to deal with a wide range of people in a relaxed manner.
With the gentlemanly demeanor of an old man, Damio walked to the door and asked, "May I ask who are you?" ”
"I'm the local inspector Jackson, I think you've heard of my name, right?" The fat man introduced himself proudly, his voice was a little out of tune, and he seemed to like to look at people with his nose.
Damio understood the temper of these people very well, so he greeted them and smiled humbly, "It's Lord Jackson, is there anything I can do for you?" ”
Although Jackson is not a likable person, his identity is one of the factors that can be awe-inspiring.
As we all know, the Inspector is a public official who guards the security of the Empire, and it can also be said that he is the superior of the knights who patrol the city, and his authority is very wide.
But this made Damio even more puzzled, it stands to reason that he should have greeted these people before, this is the residence of Lord Cinnabar, and if there are no special circumstances, no one will come to disturb them.
Jackson looked around at the mansion and said to Damio, "Let your new master come over, I don't think you want me to choose to use force, after all, it will not have a good effect on Lord Cinnabar." ”
"This ......" Damio let out a nasal voice with some difficulty, but he didn't expect that the new owner had just settled in and was targeted.
Damio didn't know much about the new owner, but the first impression was not bad, and from the previous conversation, Jackson and his party came specifically to find Louie.
Damio broke out in a cold sweat and hesitated instantly.
Louis was a guest personally invited by Lord Cinnabar to stay temporarily, and the current owner of the house, and it is not difficult to hear from Jackson's words alone that there may be a dispute here today.
"Lord Jackson, what is the matter with you? Let me go in and pay homage to my master. ”
If someone else had been here and talking to Jackson Rory, Jackson would have beaten that person up a long time ago. But this old guy in front of him is also a subordinate of Lord Cinnabar, and the people who are blessed by the temple can't afford to offend, and long before he came here, he decided that this errand was not easy to do.
Jackson feigned his pot-bellied body and said, "I received a report from a shop owner that someone had abducted their employees. And the man paid another employee two gold coins as hush money......
Most importantly, the abducted employee was a slave that the boss paid for!
I don't think I need to say more, you couldn't be clearer, abducting and selling other people's belongings without permission is a big crime! ”
"Really?" Louis stood in front of the upstairs window, and had already witnessed their conversation, and knew that the purpose of Jackson's party coming to the door was nothing more than to rescue Sylvie himself.
Seeing Louis coming suddenly, Jackson was almost so angry that he rolled his eyes, because Louie's rhetorical question just now showed his indifferent attitude.
"Damio, open the door, and I'll leave it to me." Louis commanded.
"Good master." Damio complied and opened the iron door that separated the two sides.
Jackson looked Louis up and down, and he really couldn't see what the hairy boy in front of him was capable of, and he was able to ask Lord Cinnabar to live in his mansion. "You're Louie?"
"Not bad."
Jackson shrugged his shoulders and sneered, "Hehe, since the person concerned has come forward, then settle this matter as soon as possible, if it drags on, you and I may not be able to explain to Lord Cinnabar." ”
"Then let me sort out what happened first, I think Lord Jackson will handle it impartially and give me justice."
A bearded man who had been standing at the back of the line stepped forward and looked like a decent businessman.
"Who is this?"
"His name is Sheldon, and he is the representative of the merchant who reported the crime to us this time." Jackson introduced.
"My name is Sheldon, and I'm glad I met."
Seeing Sheldon sneering at him, Louis knew that this matter was not so simple.
Sheldon's sneer was like a cruel hunter mocking his prey for falling into a trap.
Presumably, that person had already told all parties beforehand before he dared to swagger over. And if they refuse, they are also prepared. In this case, you should try your best to find out what medicine is being sold in your opponent's gourd.
What puzzled Louis was why they had found it.
