The Sauron Family... Hugh clenched his fist secretly.

She was targeted by a group of people while collecting nail clippings, and they told her that the leader of these people was from the Sauron Family!

"So what do we do now?" Hugh took a deep breath. "Contact the employer as soon as possible and tell him there's something unusual on Williams Street?"

In this freezing weather, I really don't want to go out and freeze again... Besides, what's the point of telling Mr. "Moon"? He'll just pass it on to Mr. "World" anyway... If something happens, I can just pray to Mr. "Fool" and say I just happened to be passing by...

With this in mind, Fors offered a helpful suggestion:

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer, maybe there will be other discoveries."

"What if we suddenly leave now and attract the attention of that direct descendant of the Sauron Family? He has something to hide, and he'll definitely be alert to such a thing."

After thinking it over, Xiu realized that what the other person said made a lot of sense, so she didn't insist anymore and continued to monitor the direction she was facing, just like before.

As for the other direction, it was monitored by their friend on the other side.

Hugh is relatively easy to fool... At least I don't have to go out and freeze... Hmm, the pudding here tastes pretty good. When he comes back next time, I can hire someone to come and buy some... Fors felt the cream melting in his mouth, his lips slightly raised, and his blue eyes narrowed slightly.

The morning passed quickly. The two ladies exchanged a few words and decided to leave Williams Street.

Firstly, spending the morning in a coffee shop is almost enough time; if you sit still all day, even Curly-Haired Baboon might notice something's wrong.

Secondly, it's also because they've already discovered quite a few anomalies.

Aside from the initial red-haired member of the Sauron Family, they later encountered the towering Feysac people resembled a polar bear.

With Lorry's prior warning, they could easily guess the background of these Feysac people —they were suspected to be members of the Einhorn Family of the Feysac Empire.

As they left the coffee shop, like other young ladies from aristocratic or merchant families, they exchanged a few reluctant pleasantries before heading off in different directions.

Xiu needs to go to the East Borough as soon as possible and urgently contact the publisher who entrusted the matter.

As for Fors, she felt a little sleepy because she had eaten too many desserts, and planned to go home for a nap to recharge for the Tarot Club at 3 p. m.

On Public Bench not far away, a tall, thin man wearing black trousers, a white shirt, Pseudonym vest, and a matching silk hat closed the Newspaper in his hand.

He frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two women's backs, and decided to follow one of them at random to find out where they lived.

Having made up his mind, the tall, thin man quickly stood up, folded the Newspaper, tucked it under his arm, and pretended to be a pedestrian as he walked towards the Hired Carriage waiting area diagonally across the street.

--A beautiful woman with slightly curly brown hair was already standing there. Perhaps because most of his attention was focused on his target, he accidentally bumped into her as he crossed the Crossroads and prepared to turn into that road.

Get out of the way!

The tall, thin man saw a Hired Carriage slowly approaching and, worried about losing his target, impatiently waved his hand, pushing the person opposite him aside.

With that push, he realized something was wrong.

The opponent stood firmly, and their strength was in no way weaker than that of the "Provoker."

A chill ran through him in an instant. The tall, thin man stumbled back three steps, then abruptly turned his head, glancing warily at the other man.

The next second, he saw the Gold Coins reflecting the fairly good Sun today, emitting a slightly dazzling golden light, and he subconsciously squinted.

Then, he paused slightly, his expression blank as he opened his eyes to their normal size.

Gently stroking the White Bone Ring, Lorry subtly simulated the abilities of a "Prosecutor," seeing that the other party had incited strikes more than once, causing numerous casualties.

Now he was immediately relieved of his psychological burden, and said in a slightly deep voice:

"Backlund is very dangerous; it's not advisable to stay there for long."

"Now take this Gold Coins, take the fastest Steam Train to another city, find Inn to stay in, and wait for my arrival. Remember, someone is plotting against you!"

"Don't believe a word from anyone but me."

As Lorry whispered these words, he simulated the abilities of a "Hypnotist" to modify the tall, thin man's Mental Body perceptions.

Soon, the tall, thin man nodded slightly, and said with a hint of worry:

"OK."

After saying that, he glanced around, seemingly worried about being discovered, and without even saying goodbye, quickly disappeared into the nearest alley.

"That guy hit someone and ran away, that's outrageous!" An elderly gentleman passing by frowned, looking displeasedly at the alleyway where the tall, thin man had disappeared.

The entire process just now took a very short time; from the moment the two collided to the moment the tall, thin man ran away, it took no more than half a minute.

Moreover, Lorry's movements and voices were well controlled to a level that others could not detect, which is why the old gentleman misunderstood.

"Never mind, I'm free anyway," Lorry said with a smile.

The old gentleman sighed regretfully:

"You... being too kind will only get you bullied in this society." With that, he shook his head, leaning on his cane as he continued on his way. Lorry smiled inwardly, nodding and watching the old gentleman leave.

He then strode toward the Hired Carriage area, approaching Fors, who was wearing a dark gray thick cotton dress, a matching scarf, and a soft hat.

Fors was lost in thought when she heard footsteps getting closer. Thinking it was a man trying to pick her up, she immediately frowned and looked over.

Upon seeing the figure before her, she couldn't help but slightly part her red lips, and exclaimed in astonishment:

What are you doing here?!

After saying that, without waiting for Lorry's answer to the question whose answer she already knew, she gently pursed her red lips and gave a beautiful smile:

"The Cream Pudding at that coffee shop this morning was really good. Let's go back there again, you should try it too..."

An endless Gray Fog World.

Klein sat relaxed in the empty palace, his Brain racing as he pondered his Vampire classmate's report.

Red hair, Intis people... Elaine, whom we released earlier, also has red hair; she's a member of the Intis Soren family. Is red hair some kind of symbol among them?

And what about the tall Feysac people, their royal family? Go to Bing search for the latest chapter!

After a moment's hesitation, Klein quickly made a decision.

Report!

Report this to the Church of the Evernight Goddess and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery!

--The reason Church of Storms was excluded was because Klein was worried that these hot-tempered guys wouldn't be able to control their tempers and would even take down the whistleblower.

Just as he was about to control the "world" dummy to reply to the "Moon," he suddenly remembered the Vampire's blatant profiteering.

Why don't I contact "The Magician"? No! Why don't I just contact Miss Hugh? We've already made contact!

Although he wasn't short of money right now, he wanted to use his resources wisely and refuse to let middlemen take a cut... Thinking this, Klein suddenly frowned.

He felt a little giddy because his wallet was full from saving the money he had saved to buy the Mystical Item.

What a test!

What about refusing to let middlemen profit from the difference...?
