Sir Holebath is undoubtedly the most powerful person in Port Louis, and he also plays an important role in the Esdaq Trade City Council. Ordinary people will inevitably have many difficulties if they want to visit Sir Holebath. However, Shalan met the other party the day after Holebath returned to Port Louis. The reason was very simple, because he bribed the servant of the concierge of the Governor's Office with a large sum of money.

Money cannot solve all problems, but problems that money can solve are not called problems.

Perhaps Sir Holebas knew the servants of the house very well, or perhaps the intention of Xialan when he visited aroused his interest, because Xialan had an important secret about Sir Holebas that needs to be informed that Sir Holebas, who had been in a high position for many years, had already developed a calm mindset when he was calm. He decided to give the visitor five minutes. If the other party's secret can really attract his attention, he would give the other party more time.

Sir Holebas is over forty years old this year. At this age, he is at the peak of his career. His high and powerful life makes his weathered face still have the handsomeness of his youth, his healthy and majestic figure is full of energy, and the brown and yellow beard on his chin further reflects the majesty on his face.

Xia Lan bowed her head respectfully on the surface and bowed her head. She watched the other person walk past in front of her eyes. After sitting on the luxurious chair in the main seat, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "No gift. Sit down."

When Xia Lan observed Holebas, Holebas was also observing him. In his eyes, the handsome appearance of the young man gave him a good first impression, but over time, the young man's appearance had an unspeakable danger under his respectful appearance, which suddenly made him feel a little uncomfortable. He was not worried that the young man would threaten his life safety, because there were hidden secrets around the living room that were loyal to him and strong people who were protecting him.

"You are Drank Shalan? I heard you have something important to report to me?" After observing the young man, Holebas went straight to the topic.

"Yes. It's just that this matter is about your secret, sir, so..." Xia Lan pretended to be casual and looked at the servant serving in the living room and said.

"You guys go down first." Holebas waved at the servants in the living room indifferently and signaled to retreat. After they all left, he nodded to Xia Lan and said, "No problem now."

"Just, if you don't worry about the hidden people around you, I don't mind." Xia Lan smiled.

"You..." Holebass's expression changed slightly, and his eyes instantly stared at Xia Lan like a sharp sword.

"Sir, don't worry, I have no malice towards you." Xia Lan said calmly with a smile.

Holebas took a breath and said, "Just say it. They are people I trust very much and will never betray me and reveal anything we have today."

"Okay." Xia Lan nodded and said, "I wonder if you still remember Ms. Anderin from Brito's eighteen years ago?"

"Andelin?!" At this moment, Holebas suddenly stood up from his seat, seemingly being greatly shocked. At the same time, several powerful auras appeared in the living room, and the auras were all filled with hostility and vigilance surrounding Xia Lan.

"Calm down! This Mr. Xia Lan is not an enemy for the time being."

Sir Holebas, whose mind was cleared by the breath, immediately said in a deep voice.

After the words fell, the breath disappeared.

"What is your purpose?" Holebass sat back on his chair and said with a serious face.

"Maybe you misunderstood, Lord Jazz, I have no purpose. I just want to use this to tell you that if you still have an old love for Ms. Anderin, if you don't want your daughter to lose her mother, I think you shouldn't mind helping them." Xia Lan said calmly.

"What did you say?" Sir Holebas's voice turned cold.

"Don't I still say it clearly? Ms. Anderin is seriously ill. Without the pharmacist's help, she will definitely not be able to escape the fate of death. And you are the only one who can ask the pharmacist's master to take action in Port Louis." Xia Lan said.

"What evidence do you have?" Holebas said coldly.

"Is this considered evidence?" As she said that, Xia Lan took out an old silver chain pocket watch from her arms and swayed in front of Holebas.

"This pocket watch..." Holebas stared at the pocket watch in Xia Lan's hand in a daze.

He would not admit his mistake in this pocket watch, because he himself is the owner of this pocket watch.

He suddenly became silent, and for a long time, for a long time, the entire conference hall fell into a strange silence.

"I'm sorry, I don't know this pocket watch, nor do I know the so-called Ms. Anderin you, go."

Hum? When Xia Lan heard this, she immediately thought she had heard it wrong. He looked at Sir Holebas, his eyes full of confusion and surprise. He did not expect that Holebas would actually say this line, which was inconsistent with the original history!

"Sir Holebass, are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?" Xia Lan said in a deep voice.

"Do you need me to repeat the second time? Come and see off the guests!" Sir Holebas stood up from his seat and snorted coldly.

"Sir, please."

At some point, there was an ordinary middle-aged man next to Xia Lan and said.

Xia Lan smiled meaningfully at Sir Holebas not far away, then turned around and left with the middle-aged man.

...

On the way back to the hotel, Xia Lan noticed that someone was following him. He was not surprised at all about this, but instead seemed a little vague. Until he returned to the hotel, the breath of tracking disappeared.

When he went out in the morning, he told him that he would visit Mr. Hartley again, and borrowed the pocket watch from Ms. Andrelin. So as soon as he stepped into the hotel, Hermia, who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, came up with a nervous look on his face.

"Mr. Xia Lan, did you see that man today?"

"I'm sorry, he's still not at home today." Xia Lan lied casually, and took out the pocket watch and returned it to Hermiya.

"Is this the same thing again?" Hermiya took the pocket watch. It seemed that such things had happened not once or twice, so she was in a relatively peaceful mood.

Xia Lan nodded and then walked directly to the stairs of the room.

"Mr. Xia Lan, don't you have to go out today?" Hermiya was surprised when she saw Xia Lan return to her room at this time, because Xia Lan would go out for something and most of the time she returned home in the evening.

"There will be guests coming today, so it is not convenient to go out." Xia Lan said without looking back.

"guest?"

Hermia frowned and thought to herself, does Mr. Xia Lan have friends he knows in Port Louis? With such doubts, she prepared to go back to her mother's room to inform her of the results of today's visit.

What's going on?

Xia Lan, sitting on the sofa in the room, had a gloomy face, thinking about Sir Holebath's obvious answer today, how could he not know Ms. Anderin, how could he not know that pocket watch? Why did he lie in the end? Why did history shift? He would never remember it wrong. It was because of this pocket watch that Hermiya recognized Sir Holebath, why did Sir Holebath deny all this?

Hum? Could it be...

Suddenly, he thought of a very critical thing.

The time now is not the original historical time at all. In other words, if the time is wrong, history is wrong?

Could it be because of this time period—

Because Sir Holebath's wife is not dead yet?!

In an instant, he sorted out the confused thoughts in his mind, and recalled Sir Holebas's success, and finally solved all these problems.

Holebass was born into a wealthy middle-class family in Port Louis. Perhaps influenced by the strong trade atmosphere in Port Louis, Holebass has longed to become a well-known big businessman in Port Louis. Holebass does have good business talents. With the help of his family, he soon earned a considerable savings. However, he knew very well that if he continued to stay in Port Louis, he would not be able to continue to strengthen his career, so he began to embark on a long-distance trade path.

He may not have expected that during the years he traveled to trade, he unexpectedly met his beloved Ms. Anderin in Brito. He had fantasized about marrying Ms. Anderin as his wife, but when he told the family all this, he was greatly opposed by his parents. They believed that the wife of Holebas, who had a great future, would definitely not be allowed to be a low-ranking country girl, but a lady in the upper class of Port Louis who could help him in his future!

Perhaps because of concern that Sir Holebas was rebellious and left home, his parents put him under house arrest in Port Louis, and even sent people to stare at him not allowing him to take a step forward in Port Louis. Until later, Holebass' parents set a marriage for him, and his fiancée was the daughter of a member of the Esdaq Trading City State!

After being heartbroken, Holebas finally realized the reality. He married the daughter of the parliamentarian, and even gradually got to the position of Port Louis today with the help of the parliamentarian's father-in-law.

His future can be said to be inseparable from the help of his wife's family. If his wife's family knew that he had a lover and a bastard outside, they would never let them go. Therefore, Holebas denied everything at that time.

In history, it was not until Sir Holebas's wife died that his wife's family had to rely on Sir Holebas to survive that he would recognize Hermiya without any scruples, because he had only this daughter, because he had no children with his wife.

The people who followed Xia Lan back to the hotel must have been specially sent by Holebas to confirm Xia Lan's words, and Sir Holebas's men will definitely come again!

So, he can't leave the hotel now!
