Chapter 284: Handover (1200 Add-on)

~7 min read 1,258 words

Green Forest City.

Green Forest Avenue No. 1, Sotos Museum.

Sylvia's temperament has become increasingly mature and capable, much like a professional female manager, as she handles documents in her office.

Over this period, she has fully mastered the museum's operations and is under the protection of the local Investigation Bureau.

She has also gradually gained recognition in Green Forest City's high society, although there is still some gossip, such as her being a mistress kept by some big shot...

But overall, the situation is not bad.

"Madam Curator... Lawyer Roguel is here to visit."

Before long, Bartolo, dressed in a lawyer's suit and looking exceptionally spirited, walked in and bowed first: "Good day, Madam Curator."

Over this period, following his habit of occasionally coming to the museum, she has become relatively familiar with him.

Bartolo stood up as if relieved, revealing a relaxed smile: "Thank you, Madam... Then, I shall take my leave."

It is said that although he encountered surveillance by the Investigation Bureau while following Konili, he escaped the pursuit after a thrilling adventure, successfully traveled to the Druid Holy Land, completed the History Retrospection Ritual, and gained the ability of 'Beast Language'.

Finally, Aaron casually emitted a flame, burning the letter paper to ashes, and leaned back in his chair, silently recalling the contents of the letter from Bruce earlier.

And it was only after the reminder from that Mysterious person that she learned her employees were mainly secret agents from the authorities, while a small portion were of unknown origin.

Liliyat chuckled inwardly, holding the 'Truth Balance' in one hand, while the other hand received the letter from the Spirit Body, preparing to examine it thoroughly after returning home.

This lawyer who helped handle the museum's property rights was someone she had not seen for a while: "Please show him in."

"Good day, Miss Doren."

She came to the back part of the museum, where there were tombstones of past generations of Sotos that had been restored.

The two chatted first about the recent weather and topics hotly discussed in the newspapers, before Sylvia steered the conversation toward the purpose of his visit.

Sylvia did not open the letter addressed to Aaron, but only looked at the letter written to Bartolo.

Aaron then took out the letter, went to the study, and turned on the electric Lamp.

Snap!

A coin was tossed.

Aaron took out a copy of "Selected Ancient Poets" and began to translate.

Sylvia did not know that the Liliyat before her was the Mysterious person who had helped her, and greeted her with a smile.

The drawer opened automatically, and a letter was held up by an invisible hand, flying out of the window and to a certain place on the street.

She looked at the museum, which was gradually becoming popular, her face full of a happy smile.

"Good day, sir..."

"Good day."

Plymouth.

"The letter or Liliyate is in danger!"

After his teacher passed away from illness, he came to Plymouth to seek advanced studies in his school of thought.

At this moment, Sylvia's female assistant knocked on the door and entered to report a matter.

Possessing the 'Truth Balance', she barely counts as half a non-human combat force and is now a big figure in the Mysterious world of Green Forest City.

Gradually, his expression showed subtle changes.

Night.

Considered one of our own!

Therefore, she had also quietly given the other party help and reminders.

In the museum, inside the office.

In the museum, the old gatekeeper originally responsible for security suddenly became spirited and quietly followed him out.

After finishing all this, Sylvia returned to the office and worked as usual.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she picked up the paper cutter on the table, opened the envelope, and pulled out the letter paper.

After a moment of silence, Sylvia said: "I will accept this secret letter and will find a way to pass it on to the young master. You truly are an honest and trustworthy gentleman!"

Aaron was wearing pajamas when his Spirituality suddenly had a premonition, and he came to the replacement drawer used to contact Liliyat.

The coin landed, face up, representing that neither of these two had any danger.

Bartolo took a letter from the briefcase he was carrying, along with another smaller, unopened letter, and smiled bitterly: "I am not very familiar with Mr. Yugesi; the only acquaintance of his I know is you, Madam Curator."

While following into a small alley, his expression suddenly changed, and he was subjected to a terrifying power of imprisonment, forced to kneel on the ground.

After opening the envelope, he saw the cipher text inside, and judging by the seal, it belonged to Bruce.

While speaking, he handed over both letters.

Her pupils constricted slightly, and she left the museum with an unchanged expression.

He reached out his hand, pulled open the drawer, and immediately saw a letter inside.

Every day, Sylvia would come here to clean up.

Furthermore, she knew the other party was the maid of Mr. 'Rapier', and had been entrusted by him to help manage this property.

At this time, she placed a bunch of yellow daisies under an ancient tree nearby.

This was the secret code she had agreed upon with a certain Mysterious person.

'Hmmph! Someone really is following.'

On the letter paper were lines of cipher text that required a specific codebook to understand.

In the office, Sylvia fell into deep thought regarding the letter that had not been opened.

Walking through the exhibition hall gave her a sense of satisfaction.

"I really want to shout it out loud, this is my property... 'Rapier' and his maid miss are only managing it for me, these big castles, artworks, antiques... are all mine... mine..."

"Bartolo?" Sylvia looked up, slightly surprised.

Liliyat enjoyed this feeling very much; she paid her respects before the Sotos Family Mausoleum, and then saw the daisy mark.

"My previous premonition of Spirituality was indeed correct... Bruce is in such a hurry to contact me, it's highly likely something has happened."

Since taking over the museum, Sylvia had also keenly discovered some things that were not quite right.

"Actually... I received a letter this morning; it came from my former client—Mr. Bruce Field. In the letter, he said he is encountering some bad things and needs help. He asked me to deliver another letter enclosed within it to his good friend—Mr. Aaron Yugesi, or an acquaintance of his friend."

Even the entire museum might have undergone several inspections without her knowing.

"Mr. Field is indeed a good friend of the young master..."

She smiled and greeted the female curator, who was effectively half her subordinate.

"Of course, serving the client is my duty."

Among the tourists, Liliyat wore a lady's dress and walked past the boudoir of Empress Ginny.

For instance, her several employees were simply too excellent; not only did they all have university degrees and quite outstanding abilities, but each of them had extremely low salary requirements, as if they were eager to work here for free.

Sylvia certainly did not have a codebook, but when she saw a special bauhinia mark on the letter paper, a smile appeared on her face: "It is indeed Mr. Field's letter, not a forgery."

Sylvia stood up to welcome her and had the female assistant serve tea.

Afterwards, she successfully entered the school of the 'Eye of Gumon' to conduct in-depth study.

Then, the incident occurred.
