Gilan suddenly noticed something and turned around to look.

The palm-sized mini Vivi was sitting on his shoulder, staring straight at the fine black sand on the ground, smacking his lips and drooling.

"You want it?" he asked calmly.

"I want it! I want it! Is it okay, Master?" Vivi tilted his head, stretched out his long black tongue, licked his lips, and his eyes showed a flattering look. "Vivi will work harder to serve Master..."

Gilan said nothing.

He took out an empty glass test tube, filled it with Evil Sand, and put it away. Immediately, he pointed to the remaining half of the black sand and said:

"It's all yours."

"Thank you, master! The master is so kind!"

Vivi rushed over and sucked all the black sand into his mouth.

Soon, its voluptuous face glowed with red, making its pink skin even more gorgeous. And its expression revealed an indescribable contentment.

The slender little tail swayed from side to side, showing its joy.

It must be some kind of energy of the same kind that was absorbed by Vivi and gained an increase in strength.

This is also a good thing for Gilan.

The stronger the familiar, the greater the assistance it will have.

He won't be stingy about this.

After Vivi finished smoking Evil Sand, Gilan then walked to the center of the living room.

The four direct descendants of the Louis Family killed each other. Only the eldest son Pa was still breathing, and the other three fell in a pool of blood and lost their movement.

The scene was chaotic and a mess.

Gilan bent down, grabbed the collar of the handkerchief, and lifted it up.

"Invade his mind." He said to the demon.

"Yes! Master!" Vivi received the "reward" from the master and acted with extra effort.

I saw it flying in front of Pa, peering into the opponent's pupils.

Soon, Vivi's dark eyes reflected the memory of the other party's past.

It giggled and flew back to Gilan's shoulder, then hugged its owner's face and gave it a kiss.

Through sharing, Gilan also obtained some information about the Louis Family, especially the location of the safe where Layton·Louis hid his property.

He is about to flee and needs a lot of money.

Louis Family As a noble, he will definitely be able to meet his needs.

Pa Louis, who was held in his hand, had regained some of his consciousness. He was breathing hard, remembering what he had just done, he couldn't help but break down and cry.

Looking at the blond young man in front of him, Pa felt an unspeakable fear, regret and hatred in his heart.

Pa raised his hand and tried to strangle his enemy's neck.

But Gilan took action first and punched Pa in the throat.

Bang!!

The eldest son Pa, who used to be handsome and handsome in the past, just fell to the ground with his eyes widened and a ferocious face, and there was no more movement.

Gilan searched the four noble children without saying a word.

The gold watches, wallets, and jewelry they were carrying were all handed over to Gilan, and he stuffed them all into his alchemy leather pocket.

Immediately afterwards, Gilan quickly went upstairs.

We walked straight to the study at the end of the left hand side of the second floor.

It was at this time that Vivi came close to his ear and whispered a few times.

"Is there anyone else... who doesn't belong to the Louis Family?" Gilan turned to look at the room at the end on the right. "Go and control him. I'll be here in a minute."

"Wrap it around me, Master!"

Vivi flapped its little black wings and flew over.

Gilan withdrew his gaze and pushed the door open.

After entering the study, he went directly to the bookcase in the middle and opened the various large books in the third row... With a crackling sound, a shiny black safe door was revealed behind it.

Gilan takes out Demon-Hunting Axe, holds it with both hands, and the muscles bulge.

"Open!" He shouted in a low voice and waved with all his strength!

Dang! Dang Dang Dang!!

A series of axes landed on the gap on the right side of the lock plate. Dust from the paint on the thick and hard safe door flew everywhere, leaving a deep gash immediately.

Gilan was almost there, so he kicked out with "Bone Crusher".

Bang!!

Accompanied by a loud noise.

The safe door was violently kicked open by him in reverse!

There are stacks of important documents inside, such as personnel lists, real estate, information and information, but these are of no use to Gilan.

He just glanced at it briefly, put it aside, and immediately took away the top stack of banknotes and two three-finger-thick high-purity gold bars.

There are thirteen banknotes in total with "100" denomination Gold Caesar, totaling 1300 Caesar. The gold bar is marked with 16 ounces, which is 1 pound.

Gilan estimates that the value of this gold bar is about 50 Caesar.

Two pieces plus one piece can be counted as 100 Caesar.

He also put it in his alchemical leather pocket.

After searching for the Louis Family's working capital, Gilan was very satisfied, turned around and left the study, striding towards the guest room on the right side of Corridor on the second floor.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair sitting on a single sofa, holding a Luger Pistol in his hand, with a confused expression.

Vivi was floating above his head, hugging his elbows and laughing.

Gilan walked up to him and saw that this person was not dressed like an ordinary person, so he ordered Vivi to remove the "Confusion Curse" imposed on him.

Snap!

Gilan snapped his fingers.

Charles·Fahan is like waking up from a dream.

When he saw someone else in front of him, he raised his gun as a reflex.

But the next second, his weathered face showed a startled expression.

Immediately, he turned into a look of surprise and blurted out:

"Master Gilan·Iros?!"

"Huh?" Gilan frowned.

He had never seen this person before, and even in his original memory, he had no impression. This made Gilan full of doubts, so he asked lightly:

"You know me?"

"Of course!" Charles was a little nervous, but said with a smile, "I came to Black City to find you home at the request of Master Ramon."

"I had given up all hope, but I didn't expect to see you again!"

Gilan stared at the middle-aged man in front of him and said nothing.

He saw that this person's tone and expression did not seem to be fake, so he added:

"I don't know you, nor do I know Mr. Ramon."

"That's it, Master..."

Charles couldn't help showing embarrassment on his face, but he still said:

"My name is Charles Farhan. I am the third generation housekeeper of the Fahan Family, and someone whom your father trusts. And you actually have the noble blood of House Fahan, but you are not a direct lineage, but the illegitimate son of Master Ramon. Back then..."

After this person's detailed explanation, Gilan finally learned about his true life experience.

It turns out that Gilan's mother, Amanda, is the daughter of an ordinary working-class family. However, due to a coincidence, she met Ramon Fahan, who was just a young master at the time, in a movie theater.

At that time, the empire had not promulgated "Art Decree". As a new art, movies were very popular and caused a trend. Young men and women all liked to go to the cinema to watch movies and socialize.

But it disappeared after a total ban, and now the so-called "cinema" is no longer visible.

At that time, Amanda and Ramon fell in love at first sight and made a private commitment for life. However, due to the huge disparity in status between them, there would naturally be no good results.

After Ramon married Xenia·Jacob, the daughter of the Jacob Viscount Family in the capital, under the arrangement of the old count, Amanda, who was pregnant, was heartbroken and ran away from home to go to a foreign country.

Finally, he settled in Black City, a small marginal town, and lived a poor life.

"It's not that Mr. Ramon has not been looking for you and Mrs. Amanda all these years. It's just that the old count is in power, plus... Xenia and other elders of the family are looking after him, so he has no choice but to give up."

Charles sighed.

"But Fahan Family is now the master of Ramon. He immediately ordered me to go out and make sure to find you..."

As he spoke, he also took out an old photo as evidence.

There was a young man and woman on top.

The man is handsome and handsome, wearing a black suit, and the woman is as beautiful as a flower with a big belly. She is Gilan's mother Amanda·Iros.

"Sorry, Master..."

Charles said in a deep voice.

Gilan knew what he meant because his mother Amanda passed away a few years ago.

"Since you have abandoned me for so many years, why do you want to come back to me now?"

Gilan was unmoved and said calmly.

Charles looked at the blond young man in front of him and felt that he looked very similar to Mr. Ramon. He was handsome and had an indescribable noble temperament.

Hearing this, the old housekeeper looked apologetic.

"Master Ramon misses you very much and cares about you... In fact, not long after I left the capital, I learned the news that you were wanted, so I secretly used my power to make 'Purification Department' suppress your matter."

"You don't know, the master didn't even tell the rest of the family about this, because he was worried that you would be slandered and humiliated when you returned."

Gilan's eyes condensed.

He immediately remembered the wanted order.

When searching for the inheritance of Louis' ancestor with Mr. Stork Ms. Forest Dove, he saw on the outer wall of the scrapyard that his wanted order marked "The suspect has been arrested".

'That's it.' Gilan said secretly. 'The police station is not looking for Scapegoat sheep to do something perfunctory, but to cover up for me.'

It's no wonder that things were calm during this period. The root cause actually lies here. It was his father, Ramon Farhan, who used his power to relieve him of the pressure.

"Come back with me, Master."

Charles said with expectation.

"Master Ramon asked me to tell you that he will make up for the mistakes he has made to you and his wife over the years... When he arrives in the capital, he will also let you live a good life with good food and clothing, and you will no longer have to suffer poverty."
