Chapter 537: Finding Someone

"As expected of the former pillars of the Kingdom, they are willing to pay."

After reading the "quotation" handed to her, the middle-aged woman in a brown robe smiled and said to the old man with the rose emblem embroidered on his chest:

"Count Sam, if you don't mind, could you tell me how much of a reward the Bobby Laien family gave you in total for helping them deliver this letter?"

"This..."

"Hehe, forget it if you don't want to say. I was just asking casually."

Looking at the old man who looked embarrassed, the brown-robed woman laughed:

"Being able to squeeze money from the Bobby Laien family is your own ability. Our Weighing Gold Sect's doctrine doesn't oppose such things; in fact, it's quite encouraged.

It's just that without me, you wouldn't be able to earn this money either. So as the most critical link, I request to share some of your income. Do you agree?"

"Agree, of course I agree!"

Cursing the money-grubbing woman in his heart, understanding that the initiative wasn't in his hands, the old man named Sam had no choice but to nod repeatedly while gritting his teeth and handing over a new quotation.

Seeing the satisfied look finally appear in the brown-robed woman's eyes, the old man, whose heart was aching with pain, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Bishop, the Bobby Laien family is in the outer room. If you are convenient now..."

"Convenient, of course I'm convenient!"

Answering with the old man's tone, the middle-aged woman in the brown robe laughed loudly:

"Just helping to find someone, and I can have such a generous income. How could I not be convenient? Let's go, take me to see the guests from the Bobby Laien family."

"Okay, please this way."

Leading the brown-robed woman through the long corridor in the manor to a rather hidden reception room, facing the few people who hurried up to greet them, the old man of the Rose family took the initiative to introduce both sides:

"Bishop, these few are the only remaining clan elder of the Bobby Laien family, the new family head of the Bobby Laien family, and the personal butler most trusted by the old Duke.

Everyone, this one beside me is a Bishop of the Wealth-Attracting lineage of the Weighing Gold Sect. You can call her..."

"No need to say the name. Everyone can call me 'Brown'."

Interrupting the old man's introduction, the middle-aged woman in the brown robe stepped forward quickly, shook hands with everyone one by one, and said with a smile:

"I heard from Count Sam that you contacted our Weighing Gold Sect because the heir to the Bobby Laien family title has gone missing, and you want me to find his whereabouts, right?"

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing the brown-robed woman's inquiry, the youngest of the three, the new family head, immediately nodded his golden hair and said with some excitement:

"Brown... Bishop! To tell you the truth, we really have no other way.

There are only two days left until the title succession ceremony, and the invitation letters have all been sent out, but the heir designated by the old Duke ran away from the hospital this morning!

To tell you the truth, if you can help us find him within two days, we are willing to add another 50% to the gift list we gave you before!"

?!!!

Are you crazy? Who reveals their bottom line the moment they meet?

Hearing the young man's words, the other two of the Bobby Laien family were shocked, then looked at him with both surprise and anger, their eyes full of indignation and blame.

And the young man seemed to have reacted, covering his mouth with his hands, shaking his head desperately, and saying with panic:

"I... this is not what I meant to say! I didn't!"

"Hehe, the two of you, please don't blame him. The family head didn't mean to say these things. It's just that I personally don't like mutual deception, so I used some small tricks just now, hoping to make everyone's communication as honest as possible."

After briefly explaining what she had done, looking at the three people who had thick wariness in their eyes, the brown-robed woman smiled indifferently: "As for adding another 50%, forget it. The gift list you handed over before is generous enough. Although our Weighing Gold Sect loves money very much, we are not that greedy; we just take the money we deserve."

Looking at the few people who clearly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing they didn't need to add money, the brown-robed woman curled her lips slightly and added:

"It's just... although I'm very confident in finding that new Duke, our way of finding people is slightly special. I wonder if you can accept it?"

Slightly special?

Hearing the brown-robed woman's words, the three of the Bobby Laien family exchanged glances again, and finally, the oldest clan elder asked:

"Brown, may I ask what you mean by special..."

"Need to join our Weighing Gold Sect, but not you few, but that new Duke of the Bobby Laien family."

The brown-robed woman curled her lips slightly, like a brown cat seeing a fat mouse at the door, revealing a rather strange smile.

"I serve the Cat Spirit among the three Holy Spirits. Anyone who has used money, even if they have only had a slight connection with money, cannot escape its perception and summoning.

So it is very simple to find the location of that new Duke. If the Cat Spirit is willing, it can even invite him directly in front of you, even if he has run out of the capital, it will not delay the title succession ceremony in two days.

It's just that as a price, after that new Duke is locked by the Cat Spirit's power, he will be affected by the Cat Spirit and will have the scent of our Weighing Gold Sect on him, making it almost impossible to have any connection with other sects.

I wonder if you are willing to accept this price?"

Forced to join the Weighing Gold Sect? Never be able to join other sects again?

After listening to the brown-robed woman's words, the three of the Bobby Laien family exchanged glances again.

Join if you want, anyway, he's just a puppet Duke. As long as he can appear at the title succession ceremony in two days to stabilize the situation of the Bobby Laien family, let alone joining any Weighing Gold Sect, even if he's missing arms or legs, it doesn't matter!

It's just... what if the Weighing Gold Sect has ulterior motives?

The clan is in such a hurry to hold the title succession ceremony in the hope of preserving some of the Bobby Laien family's assets. Even if they can't preserve them, they can rely on the Lionheart Duke's brand to get more benefits for their own relatives.

And if the new Duke is allowed to join the Weighing Gold Sect, then there will be one more person who can play this title card. What if the Weighing Gold Sect secretly enters the game and fights for the Bobby Laien family's assets?

"Bishop, please lock his location first."

After a round of rather intense eye contact, the three of the Bobby Laien family finally reached a consensus, and the old Duke's butler bowed slightly:

"If the new Duke hasn't gone far and is just hiding temporarily, we can find him ourselves. If he has already left the capital, then we will trouble you to bring him back."

"Okay, then please give me something he has used."

Not caring about the small calculations of the three Bobby Laien people, after taking two bandages still stained with ointment from the old butler, the brown-robed woman sniffed, her dark brown lips trembled slightly, and she chanted silently twice.

Immediately after, a lazy cat's meow rang out in the reception room. The brown-robed woman's pupils closed rapidly, then opened horizontally as if cut by a knife, and her eyeballs expanded rapidly, turning into a pair of strange cat eyes.

"I see him."

Blinking uncomfortably, looking at the "traces" on the bandage that gradually spread into the distance, the brown-robed woman, whose eyeballs had expanded more than three times, smiled:

"The traces are very heavy; it seems that Duke hasn't run far. Let me first check the situation around him... Hmm... He climbed over a wall while carrying something, jumped into a large patch of red roses, and not far away is a rose-colored six-story building..."

Wait! Why is this building a bit familiar?
