Leena? It seems like Melissa was invited to a gathering by Elizabeth a few days ago. The reason is to welcome this female public school's new teacher…
I even divined if there was any danger because of this…
I heard that she came from Backlund?
Klein thought for a moment before recalling who this beautiful lady was. He habitually tapped his left molars twice and used Spirit Vision to observe the people present.
The color of Mrs. Maynard's emotions clearly shows her anger and her hatred… It's very similar to her external appearance…
Maynard's sister's emotions were a deep gray. Yes, she was very sad, but not very angry… Perhaps she had yet to react?
The colors of Leena's emotions were orange mixed with some red and blue. In other words, there was a hint of excitement and thought amidst the warmth.
Excited? Why so? Is there some personal grudge between her and Maynard? That's not right. Although she seems to be trying her best to comfort her student, her attention seems to be focused on Madam Sharon…
She must have had some sort of grudge against Madam Sharon, so she was excited to see her being insulted by Madam Maynard?
Finally, it's Madam Sharon… Hmm, the color of her emotions is blue, representing rational thought and calmness… This is the complete opposite of her flustered and nervous appearance… Indeed, a socialite is definitely not some innocent bunny…
After the inspection, Klein was about to retract his gaze when he suddenly saw Madam Sharon raise her head and glance in his direction. Then, she lowered her head again, looking scared and trembling.
If I couldn't see your emotional colors directly, I might've been fooled by your behavior… You should consider working as an actor… After lampooning, Klein didn't stay any longer and walked out of Maynard's house with Inspector Tolle.
When he opened the door and was about to step out of the foyer, Leena glanced at his back and thought to herself, Nighthawks? That's right. Maynard's death was too sudden, so it's hard to avoid suspicion… That Demoness of Pleasure was a little too anxious…
As she thought of this, she looked at Madam Sharon, who couldn't even lift her head after being scolded by Mrs. Maynard. She thought to herself, Perhaps I can make use of them…
…
Dock area, Backlund Shipyard.
After bidding farewell to Ebner, Jane carried a small suitcase into her predetermined cabin.
She looked out the window and observed the sky that was filled with thin fog. She estimated the time.
After a while, when she felt that Ebner had likely left the harbor, she picked up the suitcase again. At the same time, her body turned illusory as though she no longer existed in this world.
At this moment, the riverboat had already traveled quite a distance. She opened the window and flew out with some sort of flying Spirit Body.
…
Bridge Borough, Iron Gate Street.
Due to the military's actions, the Bravehearts Bar's business wasn't good. The usually noisy boxing ring was empty, and only one or two of the card rooms had their lights on.
In one of the tightly shut doors, in the pitch-black billiard room, a slightly illusory Jane sat silently beside a billiard table in the darkness, as though she was waiting for someone to arrive.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the half-body mirror placed at the side of the billiard room. She had a pale face and exquisite looks. She wore a black bonnet and a Gothic regal dress. It was none other than Wraith Sharron.
The two ladies who looked like "female ghosts" looked at each other for a while. Finally, Jane couldn't help but ask, "Have you prepared what I wanted previously?"
"Most of them have been sent to the address you requested… Only that ordinary milk cow with the mystical creature's bloodline has no clue…" Sharron replied without much emotion.
"There's no rush…" As Jane spoke, she summoned a Spirit Body in the shape of a "mouth" without any reservations. As she listened to the Spirit Body's "words," she lampooned, "I wonder why Frank wants such an oddity!
After a while, Jane nodded in satisfaction and smiled at Miss Sharron. "I'll pay you the rest of the money now."
"Leave it to Kaspars." As soon as she finished speaking, Miss Sharron's figure faded and disappeared.
A Wraith sure is convenient… she lamented bitterly. Then, the door to the billiard room was pushed open, and a fifty-year-old man with a big nose and a linen shirt limped in with a lamp in his hand.
Holy Lord of Storms, why would a young and beautiful lady like such a terrifying environment?!
It was none other than Kaspars. The person in charge of the black market was filled with complaints, but he had no choice but to muster his courage to walk forward. He forced a smile and said, "Hello, Miss Jane… Miss Sharron asked me to come over."
Jane had a good impression of the old man. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she handed over the gold pounds she had prepared.
With the help of the light to confirm that there were no mistakes, Kaspars put the notes into his suitcase, then asked Jane hesitantly, "The lady you were waiting for is already here… Should we meet somewhere else?"
After all, not every lady was that curious.
"There's no need. Just leave the gas lamp behind." Jane smiled and shook her head.
That's good too. At least some light would be normal… The red-nosed elder heaved a sigh of relief as the hideous wound on his face seemed to tremble.
Not long after he left, Xio Derecha walked in from the billiard room with a stern expression.
Under the dim light, Xio's shadow was elongated. Her 1.5-meter-tall figure exuded the aura of a giant.
"Have a seat." Seeing Xio enter, Jane greeted her with a smile.
Xio didn't stand on ceremony as she sat on a chair on the other side of the billiard table. Staring at Jane, she asked in puzzlement, "Didn't you leave Backlund today? Why did you ask to meet me here? If it wasn't for the fact that I could sense from your aura that it was really you, I wouldn't have come here."
As she asked the question, Xio subconsciously used her Interrogator mental pressure.
"This place has become your 'area of jurisdiction,' isn't it?" Jane answered without answering his question. Then, she wiped away her smile and said seriously, "There's no need to do such meaningless tests. Let's have an honest talk."
Seeing that the mental pressure didn't seem to have much effect on Jane, Xio stopped her ability and asked probingly, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Although I don't know what's so special about you, the last thing that appeared on Thursday night was actually you, right?" Jane asked.
Ebner had analyzed this point with me later. Although he didn't know what his basis was, he determined that Baron Convawas apparently sought Mr. Fool's aura… And I happened to be noticed by Mr. Fool that day, so I was targeted.
As this thought flashed through her mind, Xio nodded and said, "That's right… Perhaps I had injured him with the purifying halo?"
Jane shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. I noticed that the monster looked at you with a fervent look… He must've wanted to get something from you."
She actually guessed this step… This Miss Jane is also very impressive.
Xio sighed inwardly as she asked without batting an eyelid, "So what do you want to say? Or do?"
"Ebner's life in Backlund is too comfortable… I'm not saying that it's not good. I even yearn for this life… But he also lacks vigilance as a result.
"Since that monster desires you so much, it will definitely investigate your identity so as to find you.
"And your address is always changing, and your whereabouts are never fixed… Therefore, the target of the other party might very well be directed at the person you're very close to, Ebner!
After all, Ebner is very famous, and it's not difficult to find his address…
"I guess Ebner thought of that as well, but he might very well choose to make preparations and wait for the other party to arrive… I don't know what his confidence is, but it's too passive.
"Therefore, what I need to do is to help him eliminate this danger in advance!"
At this point, Jane looked at Xio's face which was illuminated by the light, and said solemnly,
"And I need you to be the bait."
