Conspiracy! Suika Walks Right into a Trap / No Entry!

"Of course, Miss Suika has come to Londinium, and as her host, I certainly won't let you sleep on the streets."

Butler, take the young lady to the hotel we're partnering with and book her the best room.

As compensation for not being able to personally receive you, your expenses in Londinium during this period will be fully covered by the Swire Family."

After speaking, the man raised his hand to signal the butler to see the guest out.

After Suika walked out the door, she looked back once more. Before closing the door, she was still carefully flipping through the photo album.

Of course, he couldn't possibly glean anything from that photo collection.

It was full of photos taken by Suika during the Reunion Movement and in Leithanien; Victoria's Secret photos weren't included at all.

But Suika felt that this person gave her a strange and contradictory feeling.

Just then, the butler's hushed voice came from the side.

"Miss, you've come all this way; surely it wasn't just to deliver that photography book!"

"Oh!" Suika turned to look at the butler, who lowered his head even further.

"Elder Elisa said that we servants should do our best to help you when you need it, and that you should not hesitate to ask if you have any trouble."

"Although this old servant has no particular skills, I believe I can still be of some help to Miss in Londinium."

"Yes, that's right. The reason I came to Londinium is to find someone, a viscount named Scott."

He must have arrived in Londinium from Gaodoting some time ago.

Suika thought about it for a moment. It seemed that she didn't have any other connections in Londinium. If no one helped her, then running around trying to find a complete stranger in such a big city would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Miss, this is no simple matter... You may not know this, but Londinium is home to almost sixty percent of the nobles of Victoria."

Don't laugh at me, but if you stand at the gate and glance at at least half of the ten people you see, they all have noble titles, and the rest are all servants of the nobility...

So if you're looking for a viscount from the countryside... I'm afraid Miss will have to wait a while."

The butler answered very sincerely.

"It's okay, just do your best. It's not your fault if you can't find it, is it?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss. I will arrange for someone to help you find that viscount." After saying this, the butler stopped talking and led Suika to the garage outside.

Half an hour later, the vehicle stopped in front of a rather ordinary-looking hotel.

After getting off the bus, Suika realized that this place was close to the edge of the city, in one of the worst living areas in the city.

"They're making things even more disgusting for themselves," Suika frowned. The agent spoke so well, but his actual behavior was just too... petty.

Of course, Suika, who could sleep in the Rift Beast Cave, had no complaints about living here, since the room she booked was indeed the best luxury private room in the area.

After seeing that Suika had settled in, the butler took his leave.

Chapter 163 Conspiracy! Suika Walks Headfirst into a Trap

After settling in, Suika contacted Scout and they let each other know they were safe.

They haven't taken any action since entering Londinium today.

After all, Londinium is such a big city that it's difficult to find someone you already know without sending people to help, let alone someone you don't know at all.

Fortunately, Scout gave her some good news: after arriving here, he contacted the main ship, and the Rhodes Island main ship sent him photos of Viscount Scott and his family.

Finding people based on these photos is still not easy, but it's better than the blind men and the elephant.

After resting for a while, she went out of her room for a stroll around the neighborhood in the evening, and returned to her room in less than half an hour.

Because she discovered she was being followed.

Considering that she only knew a handful of people in Londinium, and even the current Theresis couldn't possibly know her Londinium, she set her sights on the "agent."

That petty agent is indeed capable of doing something as impolite as having someone follow him because he has a problem with him.

But she had no obligation to explain to anyone, because even without Swire's help, she didn't think she couldn't find her goal.

After all, there's still Rhodes Island, so she has a lot of confidence in Scout.

And... she stood by the window and gently blew a breath, and countless Little Suika appeared and then turned into mist, merging with the Dense Fog of Londinium.

For the next two days, Suika spent her time like a tourist visiting Londinium, wandering around various attractions, taking photos, and enjoying authentic Victoria cuisine.

That evening, I went back to the hotel to contact Rhodes Island, exchange information, and then continued to rest.

On the afternoon of the third day, just as Suika finished dinner and was preparing to go to the small park in front of the hotel for her usual "The Era Is Calling" massage to digest her food before returning to her room to rest, the Swire family's butler suddenly found her.

"Miss Suika, we've found information about the person you asked us to help you find before."

"Oh!" Suika was somewhat surprised, after all, her clone had searched half of Londinium for the past three days without finding that guy, but she didn't expect Swire's people to actually find him.

"Can you take me there now?" Suika stopped moving around and stood up to look at him.

"Of course!" the butler said, pointing to the car not far away.

"I've already prepared a vehicle; we can go straight there."

After getting into the car, it quickly drove off. Soon after, Suika frowned, because this was the road out of the city.

Don't ask her how she recognized it, because the city gate is just a short distance away...

Sensing Suika's doubts, the butler spoke up.

"According to our intelligence, the viscount you are looking for does not own any property in the city of Londinium, and the cost of living in the city is not something a viscount from a small town can afford for a long time."

So he bought a piece of land outside the village outside the city...

As he said this, the butler seemed somewhat proud, as if to say that Londinium, as the heart of Victoria, was not a place that a minor noble could easily join.

Soon, the vehicle stopped outside a forest, and through the gaps in the trees, a rather large farm could be vaguely seen inside.

"Is he here?" After getting out of the car, Suika looked at the butler, who nodded in confirmation.

"Alright, it's so late now, you can go back. I can handle things here myself." Unsuspecting, Suika to the butler and walked into the forest.

A young voice came from beside her shortly after she went in.

"Father, everything is arranged!"

Upon hearing that voice, the butler's kind face instantly turned cold.

"Give the order: begin the operation once the girl enters the house!"

"Father, is this really a good idea?" The young voice sounded hesitant.

"What's wrong with that? That damned guy must have bewitched Elisa after he arrived, because he's actually going to sell off all of Swire's family businesses in Londinium."

They can walk, but what about us?

It took our family decades to finally settle in Londinium from a small place. If we were given another twenty years, we could become true Londinium residents.

Elisa's damn decision to leave Londinium shattered our dreams. Not only did she run away quickly, but that damn woman dared to come back...

She and the Swire family must pay the price for their choices!

Must!"

At this moment, the butler's face was contorted, like that of a demon.

Hearing his suppressed anger, the young man stopped trying to dissuade him and instead sighed and fell silent.

Suika had already entered the manor.

The thought that unscrupulous capitalist was on this farm made Suika unable to suppress her anger.

As she approached, she scanned the area and found that the farm had no guards. Then she thought to herself, how could a minor nobleman who had come to Gaodoting from Londinium afford guards after losing his source of funds?

Without hesitation, she broke down the door and entered.

With a gentle push, the door was flung open, and screams from women and children echoed from inside.

Upon entering, Suika was taken aback because she realized she didn't recognize these people. She then took out her personal terminal and compared the faces of the people in the photos Scout had sent her. Looking at the group of people not far away, she sensed something was amiss.

Because the number and ethnicity of the people inside don't match.

She walked up to the nearest woman who still retained a semblance of composure, shielding the children behind her, and handed her her personal terminal.

Do you recognize these people?

"I don't recognize him!" The woman said definitively after staring at the photo on the person's terminal for several moments.

"What's your name?" Suika continued to ask.

"Maria Swire," the woman replied, swallowing hard.

"Swire! What's going on! How could it be Swire!" Upon hearing the other person's words Suika's eyes widened suddenly.

"What's going on downstairs?" A somewhat shrill male voice came from upstairs. Suika thought the voice sounded familiar, so she looked up.

She was stunned when she saw the person standing in the hallway—the last representative of the Swire family in Londinium, whom she had met a few days earlier.

The man was stunned for a moment upon seeing Suika, then his face filled with anger.

"Miss Ibuki Suika, although you are a friend of the main family and a distinguished guest of the Swire family, if you cannot provide a reasonable explanation for your reckless act of breaking into my house in the middle of the night and threatening my family, I will, on behalf of the Swire Family, cancel all your privileges in Londinium and call the police."

Chapter 164 This area is off-limits!

When Suika saw the other person, she knew she had fallen into a trap.

But she was also puzzled; she had no grudge against the butler, so why was he pulling this stunt?

Would he want to antagonize the Swire family?

Or perhaps you've been drawn into an internal power struggle within a large family?

Just as Suika was lost in thought, a child sitting not far away suddenly pointed out the window.

"Dad, fire!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw flames shooting into the sky from the forest not far away.

The woods, which should have served as a protective barrier, have now become an inescapable cage for everyone in the manor.

Such a large fire was clearly intended to kill everyone inside once and for all.

Suika walked to the door and looked around, discovering that the fire wasn't just in front, but all around.

It seems the murderer wanted to kill himself and his entire family here.

After figuring it out, Suika suddenly became cold.

She calmly walked back into the house. At this moment, the two adults from No. 5 Middle School seemed a little flustered, while the children, who didn't understand what was happening, were still curiously watching the fire getting closer and closer outside.

"Let's sit down and talk, Mr. Agent."

I think we've all been tricked. Don't even think about surviving by hiding in the cellar. If the fire comes, the smoke will sink, and even if the people in the cellar don't get burned to death, they'll be suffocated by the smoke.

"Stay here, and I'm confident I can ensure your safe departure."

Suika calmly pointed to the dining table not far away and said...

Upon hearing Suika's words, the woman looked at the man. The man took a deep breath, suppressed his inner turmoil, and walked over to sit next to Suika.

"My name is Matt Swire, and Elisa's agent in Londinium, handling the sale of properties. Suika, could you tell me what happened?"

At first, Matt was indeed very angry about Suika's sudden arrival and rude behavior.

But upon seeing the fire outside and hearing Suika's words, he realized that he and Suika had both entered a trap.

"First, I'd like to ask you something... Mr. Matt, do you know these people? I need the truth."

Suika took out her personal terminal again and handed it to Matt.

Matt shook his head after looking at it.

"So this is your property?" Suika pressed.

"No, to be precise, this is a family business, but it hasn't been sold yet because it's located outside the city."

I've been so busy lately, and I finally got a couple of days off. On the housekeeper's suggestion, I brought my family here for a short stay to relax.

Moreover, I received word that someone has taken a liking to this manor, so I'm afraid I won't have the chance to come here again..."

Matt didn't hide anything. After all, the fire was getting closer, and hiding this information wouldn't make a difference. If the girl in front of him was truly confident in protecting her family, then telling the truth would obviously give him a higher chance of being rescued.

"Then let me tell you about my situation... A few days ago I came to Londinium to see someone, but when I got there someone told me that you were very dissatisfied with Elisa's decision to evacuate Londinium and might not help me, so I didn't say anything and just got rid of him afterwards."

This afternoon, he found me and told me that the person had been found, then drove me here...

This person is the butler.
