Chapter 537: Finding Someone

"As expected of the former twin pillars of the Kingdom, you are certainly willing to pay the price."

After reading the "quotation list" 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 please tell me, how much benefit fee did the Laien family give in total to beg you to help deliver this letter?"

"This..."

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

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

"Being able to squeeze money from the Laien family is your own ability. The doctrine of our Money-Weighing Sect does not oppose this kind of thing, and even encourages it relatively.

It's just that without me, you couldn't have earned this money. So as the most critical link, I request to share some of your income additionally. Do you agree?"

"Agree, of course I agree!"

Cursing the greedy money-lover in his heart, understanding that the initiative was not in his hands, the old man named Sam could only nod repeatedly while gritting his teeth and handing over a new quotation.

Seeing the satisfied look finally appearing in the brown-robed woman's brows, the old man, whose heart was full of pain, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, then bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Sect Master, the Laien family people are in the outer room. If you are convenient now..."

"Convenient, of course convenient!"

After answering with the old man's tone, the middle-aged woman in a brown robe who looked about forty years old 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 Laien family."

"Okay, please this way."

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

"Sect Master, these few are the only remaining clan elders of the Laien family, the new family head of the Laien family, and the personal butler most trusted by the Old Duke.

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

"Names don't need to be said. Everyone just call me 'Brown'."

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

"I heard from Count Sam that you contacted our Money-Weighing Sect because the successor to the title of the Laien family 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 with his golden hair and said somewhat excitedly:

"Brown... Sect Master! To tell you the truth, we are really at our wits' end now.

There are still more than two days until the succession ceremony, and the letters inviting guests to watch the ceremony have all been sent out. But the successor to the title set by the Old Duke ran away directly from the hospital this morning!

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

?!!!

Are you crazy? Who reveals their bottom line as soon as they meet?

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

And the young man seemed to have reacted too. He reached out and covered his mouth fiercely, then shook his head desperately while looking panicked:

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

"Hehe, the two of you please don't blame him. The family head did not mean that. It's just that I personally don't like mutual deception, so I used some small means 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, then added: "As for adding another 50%, forget it. The gift list you handed over before is generous enough. Although our Money-Weighing Sect loves money very much, we are not that greedy. Just take the money we deserve."

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

"It's just... although I am very confident in finding that new Duke, our way of finding people is slightly special. I don't know if you can accept it?"

Slightly special?

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

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

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

The brown-robed woman grinned, like a brown big cat seeing a fat mouse coming to the door, revealing a rather strange smile.

"I worship the Cat Spirit among the three Holy Spirits. Anyone who has used money, even if it's just slightly related to 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 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 smell of our Money-Weighing Sect on him, almost impossible to have any connection with other sects again.

I don't know if you can accept this price?"

Will be forced to join the Money-Weighing Sect? Can no longer join other sects?

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

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

It's just... what if the Money-Weighing Sect has impure motives?

The clan is so anxious to hold the succession ceremony because they hope to preserve a little bit of the Laien family's foundation. Even if they really can't preserve it, 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 Money-Weighing Sect, then there will be one more person who can play this title card. What if the Money-Weighing Sect secretly enters the field and fights for the Laien family's foundation?

"Sect Master, please lock his location first."

After a round of rather intense eye exchange, the three of the 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 Laien trio, after receiving two bandages still stained with ointment from the old butler, the brown-robed woman sniffed, her dark brown lips trembled a few times, and then she chanted silently a few times.

Immediately after, a lazy cat meow sounded in the reception room. The brown-robed woman's pupils closed quickly, and then opened horizontally as if cut by a knife. Her eyeballs also swelled quickly, turning into a pair of eerie cat eyes.

"I see it."

After blinking somewhat uncomfortably, looking at the "traces" gradually spreading into the distance on the bandage, her eyeballs expanded by a full three times, and the brown-robed woman, whose appearance was much more terrifying, smiled:

"The traces are very heavy. It seems that the Duke has not run far. Let me see the situation around him first... Hm... he is carrying something and climbed over a wall, jumped into a large patch of red roses, and not far away is a rose-colored six-story small building..."

Wait! Why does this building look a bit familiar?
