Things in Tingen are over, and it's time to return to Backlund.
Valeera refused Benson and Melissa's farewells. After breakfast, she took Liya to the steam train station in a taxi.
Everything that needs to be said has been said in the past few days.
Using inside information as an excuse, she told Benson to study grammar knowledge and prepare for the civil service examination policy that will most likely be implemented in the near future, and strive to become the first batch of government employees;
For Melissa, Valeela promised that when she completes her secondary education, she will help her recommend a suitable tutor so that she can enter university to continue her higher education.
Although these things may not even be considered smooth sailing, it is still appropriate to use this as a farewell——
Similar to Klein, Valeela will definitely not interfere too much in the lives of Benson and Melissa to prevent unnecessary danger to them.
…
In the morning, the first thing Klein did when he woke up was to go to the bank to withdraw money.
Wearing the stained tuxedo formal suit, he entered the Becklandingen branch where he opened an account, and used the preset "password" to withdraw 200 pounds in cash, leaving two-thirds of his deposit to guard against accidents.
Half of the 600 pounds of savings came from the price difference of Miss Justice's purchase of the "Mind Reader" formula, and the other half came from the sale of the main ingredients of the "Soothsayer" potion given by Valeela.
It's easier to do things if you have money.
He quickly repacked his outfit, bought a change of clothes, packed them in a large suitcase, and was ready to leave.
Of course, before actually leaving in the car, he did not forget to return to the hotel he rented last night and exchange a 1 pound note for the gold coin he had paid for earlier.
After that, he returned to Daffodil Street again, quietly visited Melissa and Benson, and finally settled the worries in his heart——
Things in Tingen are over, it's time to head to Backlund.
…
Night, Backlund.
After being away for nearly a week, the first thing Valeela did when she came back was of course to regain control of the situation.
She read in the newspaper and learned from Harold several things that needed attention.
One is a serial killer;
As she expected, the most recent one was on the 14th, which was the fourth murder. Because the murder methods were highly uniform, the police have started a joint investigation, but so far they have not gained much.
Because of the description in the original book, Valeera knew very well that the next time would be on the 17th, that is, tomorrow, and the victim would definitely be a woman who had sold her body.
Valeela knew who the murderer was, and even knew the location of the other party's residence... If the other party was not an Beyonder of the "Abyss" path, she really wanted to come and kill him.
The "Abyss" path, also known as the "criminal" path, after being promoted to Sequence 6, will have the ability to "predict danger", completely overcoming her advantages of calculation and assassination.
Not only was she unable to take action, she didn't even dare to think about it for fear of being perceived by the other party.
the second is news from the sea;
Cons came to visit again and told Harold the latest news at sea——
Tracy, the "Disease Girl", subdued Qilingos' men and renamed his ship "The Black Death", calling herself "Vice Admiral of Disease".
The intelligence described that there was a red-haired girl following Tracy, who was suspected to be the "sea friend" who provided information from "Kili".
】
Based on this information, it becomes obvious.
Tracy used MI9 and the Church of Storms through "Kili" to get rid of her competitors without any effort, and also took over all of her competitors' inheritance.
Because of the reasonable source of the information, the doubts about the "Kili" siblings were naturally eliminated.
The third is the matter of investment;
Before departure, Valeera had completed both of the two tasks that Valeera had assigned to Dawi's housekeeper.
As for Mei Ge Manor, after asking for instructions, he discussed with Duke Negan's butler in the name of "Kili", and finally decided to let the original manor deacon continue to serve after taking over the manor. The handover has been completed, and he is still inspecting and Organize accounts.
Valeera is quite satisfied with the result.
Regarding the investigation of Kaoyim Company, preliminary investigation results have also come out. The company's operating conditions are generally good, and a complete investigation report is being compiled.
This was completely unexpected by Valeera. All she wanted was a credible investigation report.
With this report, she had the confidence to convince Audrey to invest in this company with her.
There’s another unexpected good thing.
Because their "brother and sister" were successively related to big figures such as Earl Hall, Duke Negan and Prince Edsac, many small nobles who had debt relationships with the Vicky family came to visit one after another and stayed in various names. Either money or things.
"I moved this collection mainly to help preserve it. Now it has returned to its original owner..."
"There was some error in the calculation when I mortgaged the real estate. Now I have to make up the difference..."
"There was a debt that was repaid twice by mistake back then, and now it is returned with interest..."
Obviously, the Vicki family was completely in decline back then, and they had fallen into a lot of trouble. Now that they see "Kili" showing signs of regaining power, they rush to make up for the old grudges.
The "compensation" for these people is quite large when put together.
Not to mention the collection of objects, the cash alone totaled thousands of pounds!
It can be seen from this that when they paid off the debt, how much they had done, and how much Qili had been wronged.
…
Late at night, Valeela received a "mirror call" initiated by Dunn.
That's how they stayed in touch while in Tingen.
Precisely because they kept in touch, they were able to board the same steam train and return to Backlund together.
Lydia also followed Valeera back to Williams Street, and Dunn was currently out and about alone.
Of course, this won't last long.
Dunn is an excellent training instructor for the Beyonder team, and Valeela will not let his talents go to waste.
In fact, before she successfully rescued Dunn, she had already thought about asking Dunn to help her lead a team. The activities with Lydia in Tingen could only be regarded as a trial training.
After a phone call, Valeela arranged a task for Dunn, or a request——
Let him, while playing the role of "Dream Demon", also help her spread the joy of "Phantom Black Queen" in her dreams.
This inevitably exposes her identity.
Of course, Valeera didn't care about this, or she didn't want to hide it from Dunn.
If she couldn't distance herself from ordinary witches, how could she make Dunn deepen his trust in her and believe that she was really not a believer in the "original witch"?
Of course Dunn couldn't understand this request at first.
After all, this is too weird.
However, after hearing Valeera's explanation, he understood Valeera's difficulties and realized the differences between Valeera as a witch.
Finally, he reluctantly agreed to help.
