"What the hell are you doing?!"

Alice slapped the table with a bang, and the man stood up from his chair. This time, it was her most capable subordinate, Arthur, who stood in front of her to be trained.

Arthur, with short blond hair and a hard face and a burly figure, stood in front of Alice like a silent stone. It can be seen that in addition to the humiliation of not completing the task, there is a strong incomprehension on his face.

"Say! Tell me all the details! ”

Alice is well aware that it is useless to lose her temper now. Although she is angry now, she is actually not to the extent that she must vent it, but ...... Because this time it was Arthur who was in charge of escorting the goods, she had to make an attitude. Even if the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

After all, if she doesn't care, then the other people below will be more or less dissatisfied. And even if she was angry, Arthur could understand what she meant.

After all, Alice is a girl who has inherited her father's place. Although there are many people who recognize her abilities. But many people don't represent all of them. The head of France, Kidd, is an example of this. Although because of Luke, Kidd had to take care of things.

But there's more than one like Kidd.

If he doesn't punish Arthur, then the people below will use Arthur as a raft.

But now...... It's better to ask why it happened, anyway, this time the matter is a bit serious.

"Our trip is with the Skye family. But by the time we arrived at the joint, the Skye family was already lying on the ground. ”

Speaking of this, the expression on Arthur's face became more and more serious, and even Alice was infected by his expression. Of course, she also understands that this matter must not be simple.

"The people sent by the Skye family are good hands. I've worked together two or three times before, and I know what each other is capable of. But this time, there was no sign of resistance, and they were killed. The most important thing is...... Someone took what we wanted. ”

It stands to reason that this is not a big deal, and it is also the urgency of the Skye family. After all, they didn't get the goods, and if Alice wanted the goods, they would have to pay out of their own pockets to get such a share.

Everyone is in business, even if they lose a little, they can't affect each other's credibility because of a little profit. Even if the amount of this transaction is indeed large, it is not to the extent that it can tear the Skye family's skin.

At the end of the day, everyone has to give the lead of the deal a face.

That's right, Luke's face is still very valuable.

"And how did you get killed?"

Alice frowned, the fact that the Skye family had been cleaned up without much resistance was indeed confusing. Even, it made Alice feel suspicious.

"I really don't know!"

Faced with Alice's question, Arthur looked distressed.

I just heard an exclamation from behind, and before I could turn around, the person was unconscious. Fortunately, we didn't have any casualties this time. ”

In the end, Arthur was a little lucky. Of course, he fainted unprepared, and what he felt afterwards was nothing but fear or fear. He prides himself on not being a person who is afraid of death. If you die in a frontal battle, you will die, as long as the death is valuable.

But it was this feeling of immortality that made him really feel powerless.

Man is a sword, I am a fish. has no power to resist, like a piece of dough, you can only let others knead it round and flatten.

Since that person can make them fall asleep, he can naturally kill them one by one while they are asleep.

Alice couldn't help but press her temple: "Here's the problem. There were no casualties on our side. But the people on the Skye side ......"

The people of the Skye family are dead......

That's the biggest headache in this matter. If people on both sides are dead. Then the nature of the matter is well determined. An attack orchestrated by outsiders. It doesn't matter if the two sides suspect that it was the other party's hand. But the past can be said on the surface.

But now, the people of the Skye family are dead, and the people on their side have nothing to do, but the Jin Garon who was brought over has been taken away a little.

That's not all, just a little.

The other party was quite numerous, and only took a small part. Looks quite content.

Now, the situation on the Skye side is very similar to what she taught Arthur on her side. Seffir Skye has also been added to the fire. The suspicion of the matter is so big, no matter how much Safir trusts Alice, she must ask Alice to give an explanation.

What's more, the relationship between the two people is not that good in itself.

The more Alice thought about it, the more headache it became.

"Check it, I'll leave it to you. Check our internal people first to see if there are really internal ghosts. After all, the deal itself is a secret deal. The other party can't just happen to bump into this transaction, and then happen to rob both of us. ”

Alice has one head and two big, and there are too many unreasonable things about this matter. And every unreasonable thing pointed this person who grabbed things to their side.

But Alice didn't understand, and Arthur himself was let go without reacting to anything. Why are you hiding in the shadows like such an old man! If you really want to be one of us, come to the Mingfang! Do you still need to stealthily grab these things? It's good to buy as much as you want!

And you're going to say it...... This is a bit too deliberate. Alice has not received formal representations from Cyphil until now, and I am afraid that the other party is also hesitating, and this matter does seem to be too deliberate.

It's useless to say that you want to create a gap between the two sides. To put it more seriously, this is a matter of face for both sides, but the big thing is small, and this is just a few lives.

The Skye family, like all wizarding nobles, is characterized by a thin population. As long as it is not the family lineage that dies, then there is nothing unacceptable for the rest.

And most importantly...... There is only one decisive factor in whether the two sides can turn their backs, and that is Luke's attitude.

Alice's side is dominated by Luke, even though Luke doesn't believe in such things. It may seem like it's just cooperation, or even utilization. The Skye family has a close relationship with Luke. Not only because of Sephir himself, but also because of the buying and selling factor with the Deep Sea Empire.

Therefore, as long as Luke comes out to reconcile, then both sides will take a step back.

"Don't worry, miss, I'll give the Skye family an explanation."

Arthur took a deep breath, returned to his previous calm and calm state, and after making an ancient chivalric salute to Alice, Arthur turned and walked out of the room.

This incident is a mistake in his work, so whether he wants it or not, he has to take his responsibility.

With a "bang", the door was closed, and judging from the sound of the door closing, Arthur's mood was indeed not calm. However, Alice felt that putting herself in Arthur's position would not necessarily be much better than him.

Seriously, in this matter, in addition to the mutual suspicion of both parties, even Alice has no way to refute it, Arthur is indeed the most suspicious person. If it weren't for the fact that she was very familiar with Arthur's personality and character, she would definitely be suspicious of Arthur at the first time.

But...... After so many years, Alice has long since stopped doing such a stupid thing as Arthur. There is no point in wasting time at all.

But believing doesn't solve the problem.

The problem is already on the table, and just looking at it will not solve the problem.

Alice stood up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at a verdant meadow. She is not used to the cold winter, and when winter comes, she will switch to the south and continue to enjoy the warm sunshine.

"A bunch of Fantastic Beast bones...... The most valuable thing is nothing more than a complete skeleton of a Thunderbird. If it weren't for the direction of the transformation of the evil woman, the skeleton of the ptarmigan might have to be used, and I wouldn't have bought such a flashy thing myself...... Why would such a thing attract such a person? ”

This is what Alice is most puzzled about in this incident. The bones of the Thunderbird are indeed very precious when it is said to be precious. Because the existence of the ptarmigan itself is very rare. Secondly, when choosing the place of their death, the Thunderbird is not like some magical beasts, which often find a fixed place for a group to die. Rather, he aimlessly buries himself somewhere in the world.

The power of the Thunderbird is a raging thunder. But the spirit it symbolizes is like the wind of freedom.

Because of these reasons, the bones of the Thunderbird are very rare in the market. In addition, there is indeed a special magic power in the bones of the Thunderbird, so the price has always been high.

But...... It still doesn't make sense.

Alice's eyebrows were eager to meet each other. She gently bit her thumb nail with a look of confusion and confusion.

After a few moments, she returned to her desk and pulled out her parchment and quill pen.

"Lord Gaunt......"

………………

"This matter can't be the other party's behavior, it's too deliberate."

The look on Seffel Skye's face was very calm. And except for her, who sat in the top position, the faces of the others were not very good-looking.

Syphil's situation is completely different from Alice's. Alice is facing a loose organization, and she is very young, even if her means are extremely high, so the old thing is not vegetarian, and it is not so easy to get along with.

But Sefir is different. She was dealing with a handful of people who were the Skye family, as well as ...... The remaining family employees, one might even say vassals.

In the face of these people, not to mention that Safir's current age is not a smile. Even though she was a child this year, she was born to be loyal to this group of people.

When you don't have the ability, the people below can still be a little arrogant. But as long as she shows enough ability, there is little room for the people below to resist.

After all, the family rules of the Skye family are also surprisingly strict in the entire aristocratic circle.

"But, miss, such an obvious question, we can't ignore it."

An old man with Mediterranean hair took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head, and his face was full of helplessness.

Ever since Safiel started to take care of things, they understood that the eldest lady in front of them was really not an existence that they could resist. Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die. The queen of the Skye family is a living tyrant.

But as long as this tyrant can lead everyone to a bright future, then she is a good king.

Halfir glanced lightly at the old man, who shrunk his neck and wiped sweat from his hands faster.

Sephir followed him, looking down one by one. But everyone who looked at her immediately lowered their heads. Transform into an ostrich and want to put your head in the sand. Sefir's gaze was like a sharp scythe, and wherever he passed, there was no wheat that did not bow his head.

After sneering, Safir said in a deep voice, "I'll question Alice's answer on their side." But...... You can't put pressure on each other behind my back. We are still partners now, and we have made a lot of money from the previous transactions with them, and it is only a few lives, which is not worth the two of us to turn face. ”

"That's for sure!"

"No, no, no! We're not going to do anything superfluous! ”

After Seffir decided on his strategy, the people below began to echo one by one. They themselves don't have any opinions. As for making things bad for Safir, so that Safir can't get off the stage...... Let's be reasonable, brother, everyone hasn't lived enough, and if you don't earn good money, what kind of work can you teach your own boss!

The boss doesn't care about this face, what else do you do to humiliate the ministers. Don't make trouble, even if you can't show any loyalty, you will be disliked by the boss and redundant.

Looking at the appearance of this group of guys, Safir made a cold face, sighed in his heart, waved his hand, and signaled that everyone could disperse.

One by one, the bosses who can be regarded as powerful in the American wizarding world left the conference room with a nod.

These people are not completely attached to the Skye family, but they trust Sefir's decision, so they don't say much.

Plus...... What Safiel said was right, everyone did make a lot of money from the people over there before, so there was no need to waste their jobs like this. As long as they can be sure that they don't have to compensate for this shipment.

Besides...... The main force in this transaction is the Skye family. Even if it is to compensate, it is also a matter of the family, and it has a relationship with their vassals, but it is not very big.

This time, it's just a formality.

In the conference room, Safir thought for a moment, silently took out the stationery, and prepared to write a letter.

"Little Luke......

……………………

In a cave in the middle of the jungle.

In a dim, damp cave, a bonfire illuminates an area.

And in this area, a scruffy table, one might even say that some poorly dressed people are rummaging through a box. The top half of his body was pressed into the box. And the half of the body below the waist writhed vigorously outside.

"Where? Where is it? ”
