Luke and Dale "confessed" overnight, and in the morning Dale finally couldn't help but fall asleep on the table. Quickleg walked in with an invitation, lowered his footsteps, and handed it to Luke.

"Sir, this is an invitation just sent by Malken, please come to his house for a banquet at noon, and say...... I have a business I want to talk to you about.

And there are a lot of people watching around our house. Do you want me to find some people to escort the princess back to the palace? ”

Luke glanced at the sleeping Daile, opened the invitation and read the contents, and said to Fast Legs, "Dale wants to stay with us for a while. Here her name is Jasmine and she is my wife, you don't get me wrong. ”

After hearing what Luke said, Fast Legs was surprised: "Sir, let her stay here!" Princess Dale is missing, and the whole city of Shenglun will definitely look for her. And there will be a huge earthquake in the palace as well...... We should escort Princess Daile back safely as soon as possible. ”

"It's not as simple as you think. I've been in the imperial capital for so long, and the court is like a stagnant water. His Majesty wants to use Princess Daile to fish me, and he is not in a hurry to make me take a stand, and the eldest princess is also very patient. Everyone held back, waiting for the right opportunity.

Princess Dale is here because she was assassinated. Some people want to use her to provoke a palace struggle, break the current deadlock, and force some people to take a step forward. ”

Hearing that Dale Gongzhong fell here was assassinated, Fast Legs was even more shocked.

"Who will assassinate the princess?"

"I want to know too. In short, if we send Princess Dale back to the palace, she will most likely be assassinated again. And we, who sent her back, will also be affected by this palace strife.

My idea is to protect Princess Daile first and see what happens to her disappearance. The stagnant waters of the palace were stirred up, and only the big fish that hid at the bottom could swim up. ”

"I see, sir...... I'll listen to you in everything. ”

"Don't worry, be careful, you won't have a problem." Luke stood up, took his hat and coat off the coat rack, and said to Fast Legs, "You protect Madame here, and I'll go out and find out the news outside." ”

Quick leg asked, "Sir, you go out alone...... No problem? I'm going to go out and find out, I'm familiar with this place. ”

Luke puts on his gloves and walks out the door, and sees the thugs watching his house. He pretended not to see it and said to Fast Legs, "I'm just going to a nearby bar for a drink and I'll be back in a moment." You clean all the rooms, and yesterday's rat frightened Madame, and she was so angry that she wanted to go to the hotel in Uptown overnight.

If you let Madame see rats in the house again, I will fire you. ”

"Yes master, I will catch all the rats in the house."

Luke put on his hat, took the cane from his fast legs, and walked forward like a gentleman of stature.

Some of the thugs who were watching nearby stayed here to keep an eye on them, while a few others went to keep an eye on Luke.

Luke crossed a street to a bar.

It was morning, and the bar was very deserted, with only two drunk people lying on the table. The bartender sorts the bottles on the wine cabinet, and the waiters clean up the bar.

On the second floor of the bar, a well-dressed woman leans on the railing and smokes a cigarette. When Luke walked in, a pair of eyes stared at him intently, and a smile on his face showed that he saw his prey.

Luke found an empty table and sat down, and the thugs who were following him broke in. When they saw how empty the bar was, they knew they were being reckless. But just quitting like this made it even more suspicious, so I had to find a table to sit down and ask for the cheapest beer per person.

The waiter came to Luke's side, and Luke's neat and formal clothes made him respectfully ask, "Sir, what do you need?" ”

"A glass of pine cone, a steak. Don't give me what's in the garbage, I can eat it. Luke placed a silver coupon on the table, "By the way, find someone to answer a few questions for me." ”

When he saw the silver coupon, the waiter's eyes lit up.

But before he could pick it up, one hand quickly withdrew it, and a woman sat down across from Luke.

The woman was very seductive, she held a cigarette in one hand and put the silver coupon in front of her nose with the other. Enjoying the taste of the money, he stuffed the silver coupon into the ditch in his chest, and waved the waiter away: "Go and prepare breakfast for Mr. Luke, with the best goods from Uptown." ”

The waiter could only regret preparing wine and food.

The woman looked at Luke with silky eyes.

"Mr. Luke is worthy of being a merchant from the City of Angry Waves, and he is generous, and the tips are all directly given to the silver coupons. I don't know what information you want to ask, my Alice charges the fairest. If you give more, you can also come to my room and enjoy the most professional intelligence service. ”

Alice spat out a smoke ring at Luke and touched Luke's hand on the table.

Luke withdrew his hand: "Miss Alice's room, I don't dare to enter." If my wife knows, my life will be over. ”

"Mr. Luke is married? It's a shame......" Alice still doesn't give up seducing Luke: "But it doesn't seem to affect our discussion of intelligence deals." ”

"There is something special about my situation. My wife's father was a wealthy merchant in Angry Waves, and I rely on my wife for everything I have now. If she knows I'm outside, I'll be the poor boy I used to be.

Miss Alice at that time would certainly not be interested in me anymore. ”

Alice suddenly realized: "You are a winner in life." ”

"The winner in life has to give a part of my freedom, and I also need to prove my ability to my father-in-law. It was a challenge for me to find a new way to open a trade route in the lower part of Saint-Lun. If I succeed, I'll get ownership of a big factory...... Enjoy life from now on. ”

"It's a big challenge." Alice stopped in time, catching this prey still needs a little patience, not too close: "I grew up here, I really can't think of anything here that can make a lot of money."

But I trust your wisdom, is there anything I can help with? ”

Fooling Alice, Luke asked, "Last night, I saw a lot of warning flares in the direction of Uptown, and something must have happened there." But I'm going to go to Uptown today to handle a business, and I don't know if I'm going to get into any trouble.

I was told that the news was very well informed, so I gave it a try. ”

Luke took out two silver coupons and placed them on the table.

Alice stretched out her hand and grabbed it: "The specific situation, my people are still inquiring." What is certain now is that it is not the Upper City that has an accident, it is the Imperial City. The walls of the entire city of St. Lun are now filled with royal knights, court guards, and imperial agents.

Many people have been arrested for no reason.

If it's not something of urgency, I advise you not to go uptown. When I have the latest news, I will send someone to tell you immediately. ”

This information was expected by Luke, and therefore not the main purpose of his visit.

Luke took out two silver coupons again and put them on the table: "Those people have been following me since I left the house, who are they?" ”

Alice took the money and looked back at the beer-drinking guys: "It's Malken's." Malcoln is fairly well-behaved in Downtown, how did you mess with him? ”

"I had just arrived in Downtown, and I had only met Malcoln once, so how could I mess with him. Do you know why? ”

Alice took a drag on her cigarette, and Luke placed two silver coupons on the table.

"Last night, Mardan lost a shipment from Uptown. What it is, I don't know, but Malcoln was very, very angry. Did you mess with him on this shipment? ”

Alice didn't take the money, her eyes fixed on Luke to observe his expression.

"Definitely not! What I want, buy from him, do I need to steal? ”

"It's good to be rich!" Alice took the money away: "Anyway, since Malken has his eye on you, you'd better have nothing to do with his goods." Anything else you'd like to ask? ”

"Yes, I would like to know the specifics of several factories around the sewer. My father-in-law said that the more channels you have to gather intelligence, the more you can gain the upper hand in business negotiations and make the most profits.

I would like to hire you as my intelligence adviser in the lower town of Saint-Lun. ”

Alice smiled like a flower, she flicked the cigarette butt away, and reached for Luke, "It's a pleasure to serve you, Mr. Luke." I will do my best to provide you with the most up-to-date, accurate, and confidential information. ”

Luke reached out and shook Alice's hand.

Alice is the owner of this bar called Alice. Selling alcohol, food, intelligence, pimping, headhunting, brokers, smuggling...... Do whatever you want to make money.

The open network and Alice's appearance make her very open in the lower part of the city of St. Lun, and the elders from all walks of life will give her some face.

Luke spent a little money to win over Alice, which is equivalent to having one more bright eyes and ears in the lower town. And as a player, Luke knows that Alice is a woman who will do anything for money...... As long as the money is given to her satisfaction.

"I'll give you the first mission, teach those guys a lesson. Stalking me so blatantly is too indifferent to me. Luke snapped a gold ticket on the table.

In a flash, the gold ticket was in Alice's hand.

Her eyes narrowed with a smile: "Boss Luke, I'll help you teach them a good lesson......"

Alice stood up and twisted her ass away, and the waiter brought the wine and steak that Luke had asked for.

Before Luke could cut the first knife, a group of powerful men rushed in from the outside and couldn't help but knock the thugs out. Then a miserable scream came through the door, as if it was music played specifically for Luke's meal.

Luke ate and drank as he listened to the screams outside.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: the consumption level in the lower city of Shenglun City is low, a few silver coupons can get so much important information, and a single gold coupon can cripple so many people.

In Angry Waves City, even in the Cape District, such a small amount of money is definitely not enough.

Money is really grandpa here!

After Luke has eaten and drunk his fill, he says goodbye to Alice and leaves the bar. Outside the bar, the thugs had been beaten to the point that they didn't even have the strength to cry.

The strong men who beat people did not leave, and when they saw Luke come out, they immediately saluted respectfully: "Mr. Luke...... Miss Alice asked us to protect you back. ”

"No need...... Luke pulled out a handful of Reichsmark, "We're doing a very nice job, I'm satisfied." This money is for you, and I thank Miss Alice on my behalf. ”

The fierce and vicious strong men immediately changed their appearance when they took the money: "Thank you, Mr. Luke, thank you, Mr. Luke...... If there is anything in the future, please do not hesitate to tell us. ”

"Okay, goodbye!"

The brawny men bowed and sent Luke away.

After Luke walked away, they couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Alice asked us to wait here for Mr. Luke to come out, saying that there is a benefit to take, and it is really good to take."

Giving so much money for beating a few people, he really deserves to be a big businessman from Angry Waves City! ”

"And Miss Alice also said that the benefits given by Mr. Luke do not need to pay the bar's commission, and they are all ours!"

"Miss Alice has not benefited more from Mr. Luke."

"What nonsense! Do you want to take over business from Miss Alice in the future? Let's go, go back and divide the money first. In the future, let's go around Mr. Luke's house......"

"Understood!"

"Let's go."

The strong men left, and before leaving, they didn't forget to kick the gangsters a few more times.

Luke gets the information he wants from Alice.

The city of St. Lun was sealed down, and news of Princess Del's assassination was also blocked. It is estimated that the palace does not know that Daile escaped by herself, and thinks that she was kidnapped or died somewhere.

The assassination and disappearance of Princess Dale would soon cause a violent upheaval in the court. Now we just need to wait and see what happens, and watch the game of all parties.

Malken's side......

He also concealed the Shadow Parasite iteration, after all, this is the highest level of contraband, and it was out of the city last night when there was an accident in the Imperial City. He didn't have the courage to look for it openly, so he could only secretly search for it within a controllable range.

It's not good for Malken to make a big fuss, and with his own identity, there will be no danger in going to the banquet at noon as long as he copes with it properly.

I don't know if Dale is familiar with the back that should be carried. Neither her identity as a princess nor her connection to the escaped Shadow Parasite Iterator.

Thinking of her IQ fluctuating high and low, she can be stupid...... It's heart-wrenching!

Back at home, Luke wakes up Dale, who is sleeping.

Washing her face and eating, she then asked Dai'er to recite the full text of the information summarized yesterday like a teacher supervising a primary school student to memorize a text.

The fast legs that were scared to clean up the housework didn't dare to breathe.

This is the princess of the Empire!

How could you treat her like that......

The chief inspector is also too powerful, even the imperial cabinet ministers have to be respectful when they see the princess, and he actually obeys the imperial princess's training.

Dale stood in front of Luke, staggering sleepily and answering Luke's questions. If you answer incorrectly, you have to memorize it ten times......

"Why did your clothes get wet last night?"

"I was frightened by a mouse that stared at me with little eyes at the head of my bed...... I've never lived in a dilapidated house like this, I had a big fight with my husband Luke, I wanted to go uptown to stay in a hotel and ended up getting lost and falling into the water......"
