The little old man did not disappoint George. After walking for about five minutes, George had already arrived at a huge store called "Macbeth Trading Company". Under the guidance of the little old man, George and his party bypassed the frequent flow of people in the main hall and entered the gorgeous side hall that was obviously prepared to receive distinguished guests.
After the two of them were seated, and before the waiter brought the tea to the table, the little old man spoke impatiently:
"Sir Lucifer, please forgive me for the belated introduction of myself. I am Eli Macbeth, the owner of Macbeth Trading Company. I have an unkind invitation for you to come here this time."
"But it doesn't matter."
George took a sip of tea and showed a satisfied look.
Seeing that George didn't look disgusted, the little old man Eli was overjoyed and explained the cause and effect to George.
It turned out that this little old man had a son named Peter Macbeth. When he had afternoon tea with other noble young men a few days ago, he had an quarrel with them and ended up fighting.
The little old man's son was quite powerful. He fought one against five with his bare hands, and seriously injured the noble young men with silver-like pewter spear points. The attack finally came to an end after the defenders stopped him.
The Griffin Heart Empire is a martial artist. Originally, this matter was nothing. Just stay in the noble reception room dedicated to the city defenders for three to five hours. If the money was in place, you could even drink a cup of tea. go.
However, the trouble was that when the steward went to redeem the person, the city defenders refused to accept the money or release the person for the first time.
After repeated questioning by the housekeeper, he was told by the city defenders that the black-clad guards of the Heretic Tribunal had been patrolling the city recently and determined that the little old man's son was suspected of being a foreign spy, so he was brought to the Heretic Tribunal for interrogation.
If you want to incriminate yourself, why bother? Although his son has been doted on by his father since he was a child and has a somewhat competitive personality, he is an upright man and has no worries about food and clothing. There is no reason for him to be recruited as a spy by another country.
In fact, no matter how the little old man managed the relationship, the news about his son was like sinking into the sea, with no news at all.
The little old man had a daughter in his early years. Because he was busy with work and neglected to discipline him, the eldest daughter Elizabeth got involved with the gangsters in the city. After defrauding the family of their belongings, they left without saying goodbye. Her whereabouts are now unknown. Then the little old man and his concubine got a happy baby. The second son Peter's good times did not last long. The young old man from a well-off family was killed by an adulterer again. On the way to escape, he was hit by a poisonous arrow in the thigh. Although he survived by chance, due to the delay in treatment, he lost his fertility. His second son Peter lost his fertility. His son, Peter Macbeth, became the only surviving member of the Macbeth family.
Watching huge sums of money being sent day by day, his cronies have been kept out of the temple, and there is no news about his son. This simply breaks the little old man's heart.
Although the little old man is very successful in business, like George, he is just a little viscount. Besides, he had no acquaintances in the Inquisition, so there was no way he could talk to them.
With no other choice, he could only send money while asking the underground intelligence network in the city to find out any news about the Heretic Tribunal. Even if he could get in touch with a black-clothed guard, he would at least know whether his son was okay. .
At this moment, George appeared by chance. They are both viscounts, new officials, and easy to communicate with. It can be said that in the eyes of the little old man, George is simply the savior he dreams of!
"I have a general understanding of the matter, so be it. Since I am going to the Heretic Trial Temple, I will accept this commission, but I cannot guarantee that your son, Peter Macbeth, and I will be in the same Heretic Trial Temple. Of course, If I have spare power, I will try my best to take him out of the temple."
"Thank you very much!" The little old man bowed deeply to George.
"In addition, in terms of remuneration..."
"As for the reward, please don't worry!"
