"No, many of them were kidnapped from some villages near Backlund."

"Did you... ever see those people who were sent to Barron again?"

"No. I think most of them should have died long ago, otherwise Barron wouldn't have a constant need for new slaves."

Are they all dead?

That is to say, in the seemingly peaceful and tranquil Land of Hope, Backlund has actually been secretly carrying out kidnapping and human trafficking. Sure enough, this world is much darker than I have seen.

Oh, am I thinking too much?

I am just a passer-by in another world. What does it have to do with me if so many people die?

The look in his eyes from the girls in the dungeon of Kapin Mansion suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Thinking of those lower-class people who were already living a difficult life, he scratched his head in annoyance.

"Ah, I'm just investigating a missing maid case. If I find out, I'll just take the money and settle it. It's better not to add unnecessary trouble to myself."

Thinking of this, Klein made the tycoon, whose hands were stained with sin, disappear completely. He then checked the two extraordinary characteristics he had obtained and summarized the magician's acting rules.

"Challenging the impossible...isn't that the same as courting death?"

After doing all this, Klein rubbed his forehead and returned to the real world.

Almost at the moment he opened his eyes, he felt that the magician's digestion progress had advanced a lot, and it seemed that it was about to be completely digested.

Klein was shocked:

"Why is the digestion progress so much faster than expected?"

Didn't I just act cool from a distance in front of those two high-sequence people?

This effect is too exaggerated.

He couldn't help but think of the trick Edward had performed on him above the gray fog.

Klein suddenly had an idea:

If I use the identity of the world to perform magic for Mr. Fool...will it work?

...

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Edward returned to the villa in Queens with nearly ten thousand gold pounds taken from the safe of Capin Villa.

Chapter 321 Tower and Justice

After the inspection of the free school, he went to Kapin's villa and witnessed the scene where the Black Emperor, the thief, pretended to be cool and ran away in front of the two demigods.

Klein still ignored Capin's safe as in the original novel, so Edward took it without hesitation. To express his gratitude to Mr. Fool for his generosity, he transformed into the Black Emperor and helped him to show off in front of the two demigods.

In the eyes of the two, the two black emperors before and after were naturally the same person.

In other words, the Black Emperor first disappeared from their sight, then appeared in front of Kapin's safe and took the money, then raised his middle finger in provocation, and then left leisurely under the attack of the two demigods.

This is definitely a super double-double of Klein's previous performance.

It should... help him digest the potion, right?

I really envy Klein, because he has a good friend and believer like me to help him digest the potion. Unlike me, who spent the whole night in the free school but the potion didn't work, and could only feel a little comfort when I had ten thousand gold pounds.

After joking with himself, Edward sat down at the desk and took out his notebook and steel. Lilith immediately jumped up, looked at the notebook and said, "Edward, what are you going to write?"

She lifted her little foot to reach for the pen: "Lilith will help you write. ?Swoosh`swoosh+Xiao·Tax￠Wang. \No, wrong_content, "

"Uh, you... okay."

The most important thing in educating a child is not to discourage her interest in learning too much.

"After tonight's actual experience, it is basically certain that if you want to digest the potion by teaching in a free school, it will definitely be very slow."

Lilith yelled, "Speak slower, I can't write anymore. How do you write 'jing'? How do you write 'cao'? How do you write 'fei'? I can write 'mo'! It's just too difficult."

"If you can't write, just draw a circle first."

"oh!"

She looked up, "I thought so too!"

Yeah, that's what kids do!

But looking at the crooked Chinese characters Lilith wrote on the paper, Edward was really surprised: "This little guy knows quite a few words now."

"It's done."

She looked at Edward, her blue eyes full of anticipation.

Edward slowed down his speech and said, "It may be related to the lack of 'wandering', or it may be because the amount of knowledge taught tonight was too little."

"I will use the next two days to verify the latter, and the former requires practical work. However, I still have to wait for Bernadette's news on when to set off."

Lilith was distressed: "Ah! 'cao' again!"

"No swearing."

"???"

Edward coughed and looked at Lilith: "Lilith, are you finished?"

"I've finished writing!"

She picked up the book with her claws and handed it to Edward, "Look!"

Edward picked it up and saw circles one after another. If these words were not spoken by him just now, who knows what she had written.

"Well, well?"

Lilith stared, her eyes becoming more and more expectant.

Alas, it seems that I will never be suitable to be a strict father.

Edward patted her head and said, "Lilith is amazing! She has written so many words in such a short time."

Her eyes sparkled and she shouted, "Right!!"

"If Lilith can learn all these circles, it will be even more amazing!"

"Yes!!"

"But it's still worth giving a little red flower!"

As he said this, he took out a small red flower and put it on Lilith.

"Wow!!"

Lilith spun around happily, "Edward is so nice~~"

Edward also laughed: "Right!"

...

Thursday morning.

In Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

Audrey was eating breakfast with her chin in her hand, thinking about something, when she suddenly heard her father, Earl Hall, who was used to reading the newspaper during breakfast, laugh:

"Kapin is dead."

Audrey asked casually, "Who is he?"

Earl Hall has been busy these days dealing with last week's events. He has lost a lot of weight and looks more handsome than before. This is a blessing in disguise.

"A wealthy man who might be a human trafficker in private. He has good relations with some people, haha..." He chuckled, "He was murdered last night. There were obvious signs of a trial at the scene. All newspapers called the murderer a thief, the thief 'Black Emperor'. Well, he was named after the code name of the ruler of the ancient Solomon Empire."

"The key point is that Kapin's body is covered with tarot cards. It is said that this is probably a mysterious organization that was recently born."

Audrey's eyes suddenly lit up: Tarot cards? Is this what our Tarot Club would do?

"Dad, were there any obvious tarot cards left at the scene?"

Count Hall was stunned. "Oh, there are two left in the safe that Capin emptied."

"What?"

"The Tower and the Justice."

Audrey was stunned: "What?"

"Oh, it is said that the people of the Storm Church are searching the whole city for people related to these two cards." Earl Hall joked, "You are so interested, do you have any clues?"

No, I have no clue.

Because... I am the clue!

Audrey took a sip of black tea and said, "Dad, where's Hibbert? Why didn't he come to have breakfast these few days?"

"In order to reduce the impact of last weekend's incident, he has been hanging out with the nobles every day. He went out early in the morning and said he was going to attend a salon."

"That's really hard work. Is there anything I can do to help, Dad?"

Earl Hall smiled and said, "No need, just stay home safely."

"All right."

After finishing breakfast, Audrey couldn't wait to come to Edward. She held the newspaper in her hand and said excitedly:

"Edward, did you do this?"

Edward glanced at the picture in the newspaper and smiled, "That's right."

"Why did you leave my tarot cards?"

"Because it makes you feel involved."

She puffed up her cheeks all of a sudden: "Then you should have taken me there directly! Humph, a scum who pretends to be a good person and engages in human trafficking should be punished by me personally!"

Lilith was also angry when she heard this: "Edward didn't take Miss Lilith with him either, how mean!"

"That's right!"

Audrey picked her up and glared at Edward with puffed faces.

Edward shrugged, "Actually, I didn't kill Kapin."
