our family is gone

Chapter 145 Discovery
"Hmph!" Lance threw her out with one hand, looked down at the savage girl who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and scolded coldly: "You will always be just a waste like this, even if you die in my hands I have no qualifications."

The barbarian took a big gulp of air, wanting to stand up and fight again, but when she looked up to meet the man's indifferent eyes, her anger was instantly extinguished, revealing the hidden fear.

She seemed to have returned to the night wrapped in the biting cold, and the endless fear almost usurped her soul.

"@!#%...*"

The barbarian spirit couldn't bear the huge pressure and collapsed into despair, holding her head in her hands and speaking vague tribal language, completely gone from the previous rage.

Tiffany didn't expect Lance to change his face so exaggeratedly. One second he was talking and laughing, and the next second he became so... fierce, or a majesty that no one dared to offend.

Thinking about it now, if York and the others resisted at that time, I'm afraid he would really kill someone~
At this moment, Tiffany found that she seemed to be unable to resist his decision. Life and death were only a matter of his thoughts. She couldn't help but feel sympathetic to the pretty girl, and she went to get up and help her to leave.

When the hall was empty, Lance's expression quickly returned to calm. This little incident didn't affect him too much. He was just beating the barbarian girl.

Now the top priority is to sort out the business group's problem, and he wants to see how rich Walter's family is.

Two large and two medium-sized cargo ships, and the basic horses and chariots can form three convoys of [-] people.

There are several properties in Owendo City, and even in Totnes, where every inch of land is expensive, there is a store and a warehouse. Although it is on the edge of the Midtown, it is considered a bit powerful.

Similarly, more than 300 people are needed to operate such a business group, most of them are sailors and guards to carry these things, and the management team only accounts for about [-]%, that is, the people who came to force the palace that day.

Some of the guards were wiped out by Walter and the bandits, and now there are only more than 20 left here, and most of them are defected.

On the contrary, the sailors were well-preserved, and there were only a few captains who came to force the palace that day, and one was the Survivor.

These are industries, and the funds on the books were originally at a loss, but they were reversed directly by him in just one day. As for the source, of course it was a search.

Lance finally showed a smile after finishing the calculation. This family must have millions of gold coins, including more than 2 in cash, so it's no wonder that this guy, Walter, hid it from him.

Maybe he intends to give up the caravan on land in exchange for his own freedom, so that he will retain most of his strength, and he has a choice whether to advance or retreat.

But it's a pity that Lance directly stole the house.

That's right, Walter never told him about his business group before he came, and Lance just told him that he came to Owendo to take a boat to Totnes, and take the business road along the way to earn some money. refugee.

It's a pity that Lance doesn't talk about martial arts.

But I'm afraid Walter didn't expect his daughter to almost kill the entire business group within a month after his accident. It can be said that if he didn't show up, Walter would only get a huge debt when he came back.

"grown ups!"

William walked in in a hurry, seeing the dog sticking out his tongue and panting heavily, obviously exhausted.

Similarly, his eager expression gave Lance a bad premonition, and sure enough, he discovered the situation as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Me and Fergus found traces of the cult in the city."

Nothing to be surprised about, although he had already guessed, or it was impossible for the cult to let go of the only big city here.

But Lance still sighed, because the emergence of a cult must be accompanied by death.

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Early this morning, Griffith and I..."

He didn't ignore Lance's opinion yesterday, but began to implement it very seriously, based on his previous experience.

He cleverly used the scent as a clue, and used Griffith's sense of smell to start searching.

According to the clues, he searched in some busy commercial ports, ordinary residential areas, and even the dark corners of gangster activities, but he found nothing. Instead, he found something in the rich areas of the city.

Lance understands the situation in the rich area. The cult that is active here is the [Ascension Sect]. Survival is difficult for human beings, so why bother with soaring.

On the contrary, the audience of teachings like "Son of Harvest" are ordinary people, especially farmers who pray for a good harvest, and the development is mainly at the bottom.

"In the end, I only followed the detached house in the rich area, because there were too many people around, so I didn't dare to continue to investigate."

"You've done a good job. Once you start to scare the snake, you will let those guys hide. Only by being cautious can you catch them and wipe them out."

Lance fell into thinking as he spoke.

It's like the town's first corruption is the sheriff of the town, and then it spreads, belonging to the top down.

It's the same here, I don't know which high-ranking official fell.

Once you make a move, you will move your whole body... and your own strength is too weak to fight against those people in the city.

But it is impossible to really let it go, because the main enemy of the Ascension Sect is him, and letting the enemy continue to grow is undoubtedly suicide.

"Don't disturb those guys, continue to investigate clearly, lock the location of those people, and find the place where they held the ceremony."

Lance already had a plan in mind, but he still didn't give up on his preparations. It would depend on the specific situation.

"By the way, you asked Fergus to find this scent. If you are discovered by a cultist, there is really no way to show the other party that this person is your own."

Lance took out the blood candle, which was necessary for the ceremony compared to the incense.

William didn't know how this was made, but he could feel the strong blood and the strange taste.

He gave Figs a sniff, and the dogs shook their heads and sneezed.

After thinking for a while, Lance took out a bag of coins and handed it over. "This is the activity fund, if you don't have enough, ask me for it."

"My lord..." He has been a magistrate for so many years, not to mention reimbursement of funds, and overtime pay has never appeared, and wages are always delayed.

"You will get used to my rules. There is a reward for completing the task." Lance patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Take it, if you don't want Griffith, you still want to eat meat."

"Wow!" Griffith seemed to understand what the two of them said, and he yelled and rubbed against Lance's leg, his little tail swung like a propeller.

Lance reached out and touched the dog's head, no wonder everyone liked it.

"Hahaha~ Look, Griffith also wants to improve the food."

　Brothers, it's the end of the month. If you have a monthly pass, vote.
