“......”

Rawls looked at Casey with his mouth slightly open, and after a long moment, he blinked, poked forward in disbelief, and asked in a very low voice:

"Excuse me, what did you just say?"

"You know what I'm talking about. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Casey didn't repeat what he had said, just stood in place and looked at Rawls motionless: "I'm serious." ”

"You're serious......" Rawls straightened up, wiped his nose and spun around in place, as if looking for something he didn't know what it was, looking like a fool.

Of course he knew she meant it! But that's the problem! What was going on in the head of this stupid elf? Didn't she understand what she said yesterday? Doesn't her mind turn?

"Why?" Trying to calm himself down, Rawls stared at Casey, his voice a little low: "This matter obviously has nothing to do with you anymore, don't you know that the less involved with the Terrans here, the better?"

"The Abyss Mercenary Group has me as the biggest suspect, and this matter is a matter of my reputation. Casey looked at Rawls without the slightest intention of changing his mind: "And if you fail and the murderer is not found in three days, they will be the first to rush to investigate me, so that some of my secrets are in danger of being exposed, so, for the sake of insurance, I must personally participate in this investigation!"

“......”

Looking at Casey, who had been speaking in one tone and was more like informing himself than asking for himself, Rawls's golden eyes moved, and finally the corners of his mouth lifted, and he shook his head with a smile:

"Well, since you say that, I have no reason to stop you. But let's make it clear in advance that this game is mine, and if you want to participate, you have to listen to me!"

Seeing Rawls look at her, Casey was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, which was considered to have made a corresponding compromise, but no one could say what she would do then.

"Very well, in that case, let's go. ”

Rawls smiled in satisfaction, turned and walked in one direction, greeting with his back to Casey. And Casey didn't hesitate and quickly followed.

"Where are we going. ”

"Alchemy Hall!"

......

"Anlinka, take care of Mina, don't let her run around. ”

"Father's ......"

"Don't say it, don't say anything, I know, I know ......"

Gently hugging Anlinka's soft and thin body, Malden reached out and patted her on the back twice, although he knew that this was far from soothing the pain in his daughter's heart, he still picked up her pretty face, kissed her white and tender forehead, looked into Anlinka's eyes with his father's characteristic encouraging eyes, and showed a standard warm smile:

"Anlinka, my child, I know you are sad in your heart, and I am sad in my heart. But you have to remember that the death of your sister Simmel has nothing to do with you, everything is the fault of the father, it is the father who did not protect you well, it was the father who was careless and caused the loss of his daughter, you don't have to blame yourself for this at all, everything is because of me...... Because I ......"

Malden lowered his head and put his hands on Anlinka's shoulders, his burly body trembled uncontrollably because of his overly suppressed and excited emotions, and Anlinka could even see a crystal light falling on the bloodstone floor of Corvera between him and her, making her mouth open slightly, and she stretched out her hand to hug her father in distress.

"Himmel...... Why ......"

Holding Anlinka tightly in his arms, Malden closed his eyes and silently expressed the grief that went deep into his bones. Maybe he is a genius of the Devarance Chamber of Commerce for a hundred years, not only is he excellent in business, but his own strength is also strong and terrifying, but before that, he was a father, the father of Anlinka, Ximeier and Mina, he loved their mother deeply, he loved his wives deeply, and now he loves his children even more, and he doesn't want them to be hurt at all!

He loves them!

"Father......" Anlinka caressed Malden's chest with her little hand, feeling the powerful heartbeat, and she didn't know what to say - she had never seen her father so fragile!

"Alright, go ahead and take care of Mina. ”

Gently stroking his daughter's long brown hair, Moldon let go of Anlinka, returned to her original normalcy, and waved her hand gently:

"Let my father be alone and be quiet. ”

“......”

Although she looked very uneasy, looking at her father's eyes looking at her, Anlinka still chose to believe it, didn't say anything, turned around and pushed open the door, and disappeared around the corner.

And at the moment when she left, a black figure suddenly appeared behind Malden, who was standing in the middle of the room, half-kneeling on the ground, with his head buried low, silent, as if waiting for something.

"Don't I trust the city too much. ”

Without looking back or moving, Malden just stood with his hands in his hands, and his voice seemed to float from a long distance, causing the black figure behind him to shake slightly.

"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of my subordinates, please punish the Lord!"

At some point, two identical figures appeared behind the black figure, kneeling on the ground and pleading in unison.

With a wave of his hand, Moldon raised his head weakly and sighed, turned to look at these dark forces belonging to Devarance, and smiled bitterly:

"You don't have to blame yourself, I want you to follow you for only three days, and the fault is mine...... But even if this is the case, the Abyss Mercenary Group must give me an explanation as soon as possible, and my daughter can't just die like this!"

"Lord, why don't we investigate it ourselves, do we have to go through the hands of the Abyss Mercenary Group?"

One of the two figures kneeling behind the first black figure asked coldly, not because of any dissatisfaction with Malden, of course, but because he was by nature.

"Originally, this was not the case, and we also have the right to investigate. But in my experience, Tagus City is the territory of the Abyss Mercenary Regiment, and this kind of thing is tantamount to a slap in the face, and they can't give up...... No other forces will be allowed to interfere in the investigation. ”

Stroking his forehead, Malden let out another long sigh:

"What's more, from a businessman's point of view, instead of dwelling on what has passed, it is better to cherish what is existing and not lose it again...... So ......"

Squinting his eyes at the three people kneeling on the ground, Malden's expression became a little terrifying:

"Do you know what you're supposed to do? ”

"Yes!

Three figures disappeared into the room in an instant.

......

On the other side, the Alchemy Hall, the forty-first basement floor.

With the power of the leader of the law enforcement team of the Abyss Mercenary Regiment in Tagus City, Rawls easily gained the freedom to move around the guild hall, and took Casey to this special place that impressed them very much from the morning, and it was already noon by now.

Looking at Rawls, who had been sitting beside Himmel's well-protected golden statue with his head tilted and not moving, even with Casey's surprisingly good patience, he felt a little impatient. Since she accompanied this guy in the morning, the two of them first ran back and forth from the basement floor to the forty-first floor several times, and then they just watched him sit next to the golden statue and stare at him in a daze, if she hadn't seen the bloodshot in his eyes, she would have thought he was asleep!

"What the hell are you doing?"

Finally, Casey frowned slightly, and couldn't help but be the first to break the silence and ask.

Who knows, it doesn't matter if she asks, Rawls's body that was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly stood up, his dry eyes blinked, and he turned to look at Casey suddenly.

"Let's go. ”

"Where are you going?"

“...... Devarance Chamber of Commerce!"
