"Miss Audrey invited me to her house for a party? But why was the invitation sent to you?"
The next morning, in Reception Room at Sevillea's house, Angel took a sip of warm black tea, letting the aroma of tea fill her nose, and then asked curiously.
"Of course that's because she doesn't know your address."
Sevillea handed a letter with the Earl Hall family emblem to Angel and looked at her like an idiot.
"And this is also the etiquette among nobles. I introduced you into the circle. Her first invitation will be conveyed through me."
Angel nodded, opened the envelope, took out the invitation, and looked at the time. It was this Sunday, which is three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. It is a common afternoon tea time. It also comes with some party requirements, such as you can wear casual clothes.
It's not a formal salon, it seems to be a small occult gathering of Audrey...
She made up her mind, put the invitation away, and then looked at Sevillea.
The latter looked hesitant and continued after a moment:
"This time you are going to the Earl Hall's mansion. I need you to pay attention to a person. He is the eldest son of Earl and the brother of Audrey. Hibbert Hall. Pay attention to what is going on with him, especially the situation of Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee."
She described Hibbert's appearance and characteristics in detail. Angel took note of it carefully and then asked:
"A noble family like Earl Hall should be protected by Beyonder. Will I not be suspected if I deliberately approach Earl's eldest son?"
"Don't worry, you are Luck's chess piece, we will not waste you at will." Sevillea smiled and said softly as if to comfort, "You just need to listen, there is no need to ask questions, and don't show any concern for Hibbert's interest will not be discovered by the secretive Beyonder. No matter what you hear, tell me. Depending on the importance of the information you obtain, you may be able to get the other half of Potion's materials soon."
What information is worth exchanging Potion Main Materials worth thousands of pounds?
Angel wanted to continue asking, but finally kept his mouth shut.
The serial murder case that shocked Backlund was finally solved. The day after Angel and Moriarty killed Devil Dog, major newspapers published police announcements on the case.
Unsurprisingly, the police did not disclose any occult content, and the 12 lives were attached to a name that was most likely fictitious. Since the murderer was shot dead on the spot, the process of interrogation and judgment was omitted.
Congratulations, congratulations.
Angel, who was browsing the newspaper in Divination Club, turned to the subsequent pages of "Backlund Morning News" and successfully found the information about the extraordinary gathering.
These wild Beyonders have long been suffocating under the tense situation. As soon as the serial murder case was solved and the official Beyonder blockade and manhunt operation ended, they couldn't wait to prepare for the party.
"It's best not to sell the Beyonder Characteristic that was taken away from the Capim Mansion in the short term, so as not to be targeted by those secretly looking for the murderer... You can first get rid of the Beyonder Characteristic of 'Devil' and get rid of me In exchange for the 'Crimson Eye', the remaining money can also be used to purchase the formula of 'Demoness of Pleasure', so that I can be promoted before 'Demoness Sect' gives me the complete Potion and hide part of my strength..."
Angel was calculating, writing down the time of the "Eye of Wisdom" party and the knock code, and continued to read the newspaper.
Well, the death of Capim was also in the newspapers?
Finding something she was interested in, she spread out the newspaper and read it carefully.
Black Emperor?
Rogue?
The belongings in the safe?
If it hadn't been just one day since the death of Capim, Angel would have doubted her own memory.
The situation was urgent. After killing Beyonder and Capim and releasing the kidnapped girls, Angel and Moriarty didn't even have time to collect evidence of his crime. They could only take the most valuable Beyonder Characteristic and leave immediately without noticing any safes at all.
When she jumped down from the attic, she even saw the official Beyonder flying in the distance. It was most likely a strong High Sequence. Even if it was one minute late, they might be blocked in the villa and could only be captured.
Could it be that subsequent investigators discovered these ill-gotten gains and divided them up?
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Compared with Beyonder Characteristic, who dare not sell it at the Beyonder party for the time being, cash is undoubtedly a better return. Unfortunately, she is not a real "robber" after all. She only launched the action to rescue an innocent girl like Emily. Otherwise, she might really search the villa to find Capim's life savings.
But "Black Emperor"...
She thought of Moriarty, who transformed into Armored Crowned Ghost yesterday, and inexplicably felt that this title suited him very well.
"Dong dong——"
There was a knock on the door of her fortune-telling room, and then a figure entered and closed the door smoothly.
"Ms. Lola, welcome to Seer Witch's divination room. What do you need to know today?"
Squeezing out a smile that he was accustomed to, Angel looked at the guest.
"Okay, I know you don't welcome me very much, so there's no need to put on that fake smile."
Lola took off her gauze hat and sat across from her. Rarely, she did not show off her exaggerated number of love candidates, but asked with a serious face:
"Do you know Capim, the rich man from Cherwood Borough?"
Angel raised his eyebrows, nodded and replied, "Of course I know."
Then she handed the newspaper on the table to Lola, who was just looking happy, and looked at the other person's expression falling.
"I thought you had some other information in 'Demoness Sect'. It turns out you also knew it through the newspaper."
"Sevillea of the Demoness Sect asked me to inquire about information at the Beyonder party and look for those who sell Beyonder Characteristic. But isn't this Capim a bad guy who kidnapped young girls? How can he let two 'Demoness of Pleasure' pay attention at the same time?"
Pretending to know nothing about the matter, Angel asked in a low voice.
"Kidnapping a girl? That was just to satisfy the peculiar habits of some high-level officials and let them facilitate his business. It was an insignificant part of his crimes," Lola said with disdain and lowered his voice, talking to Angel is like a pair of Criminal discussing a conspiracy, "What he really does is to capture homeless and uncared-for vagrants and poor people in Backlund, and traffic them abroad."
"Human trafficker?"
Angel exclaimed.
No wonder there are so many Beyonder in his mansion, no wonder "Demoness Sect" is extremely concerned about his death. It turns out that this guy is not just as simple as catching a few girls, he is also involved in the Demoness Sect's population trade across several cities, and possibly even the entire kingdom...
"That's right, more than a thousand Backlund residents have been trafficked through Capim channels, and that's just this year. This time he didn't know who he offended, and he died tragically in his villa. It is said that Church of Storms's 'Mandated Punishers' turned the villa upside down, and those secret documents should have fallen into the hands of the church. Ha, it was enough to mess up Demoness Sect's population business for a while."
It turns out that it was really a follow-up to the handling of Church of Storms. It seems that the so-called safe that was emptied by the thieves was probably used as a working capital for the 'Mandated Punishers' people.
Angel thought secretly.
"Besides Capim, there is another thing that I need your help with," Lola continued after folding the newspaper with the picture of the grand thief "Black Emperor" standing in the wind, "Hibbert Hall, the brother of your new friend Miss Audrey, is also the chief secretary of 'Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee'..."
"Do you also want me to inquire about the investigation committee?"
Angel's curiosity, which had been growing since she went to Sevillea's house in the morning, finally burst out. She frowned and interrupted the other party's words.
"Demoness Sect also made me care about this matter. Why are everyone suddenly concerned about Backlund's air pollution?"
"Pollution? It's none of my business even if they demolish all the factories," Lola sneered, "But whatever 'Demoness Sect' cares about, I will care about. The same goes for Capim, and so does Hibbert Hall."
She picked up the gauze hat, put it on, and stood up.
"Give me a copy of the information for 'Demoness Sect', and I will exchange it for the formula of 'Pleasure'."
