This is really a treasure house.

After leaving the tavern and looking at the newly reached contract in his hand, Sandy smiled with satisfaction. With this action, his fat face began to shake. Although under the control of the Irangnik family, his chamber of commerce was unlikely to obtain too much cake, he did not intend to operate it here for a long time. After all, the danger of a small chamber of commerce like himself trying to pull teeth from the five major consortiums is too high. Next, as long as the final work is completed and the goods are sold to the mainland of the country, his chamber of commerce can make a small profit.

This is enough. The Highland City is not stable now. Although the Alanick family still controls the city on the surface,... Thinking of this, Sandy raised her head and looked at the huge silver moon hanging in the sky above her head and the star rings that spanned the sky. She couldn't help but frown. No matter how many times she saw this strange scene, she was not used to it. This sky, which was completely different from the sky in the country of Light, made Sandy feel a sense of uneasiness and fear. He coughed, temporarily threw the fear deep in his heart to the side, and then turned around and walked onto the carriage.

"Go back."

Thinking of this, Sandy gave an order. Soon, the sound of a horse whip sounded and the carriage began to move forward. Sandy gasped, closed her eyes, and leaned on the luxurious seats decorated inside the carriage. This trip was really profitable. Although he could gain something, it was still frightening to do such things in the Irangnik Consortium. No one knew the strength of the five major consortiums better than the merchants in the Land of Light. If it weren't for the fact that many chamber of commerce representatives had been in and out of the past few days, he would not dare to do this if he had killed himself. But now, since he had already obtained what he wanted, then......

"Um?"

Just as Sandy was fantasizing about how he would use this money to create more wealth after returning to the Land of Light, he suddenly found that the carriage he was riding slowly stopped. This made Sandy's heart sank. Could it be that his affairs had been discovered by the Irangnik family? But such a small matter shouldn't have them taken action!

Thinking of this, Sandy lie down to the carriage with fear, but beyond his expectations, there were no private soldiers from Sandy who were imagined by the Irangnik family outside, and there was no one in the figure. The whole road was extremely quiet. What happened? Seeing this scene, Sandy couldn't help but frowned. Is his coachman an idiot? Don't you know that I am on the way now? Thinking of this, Sandy looked forward and asked.

"Hey, what......"

But that's what he said.

A ray of silver-white light seemed to suddenly emerge from the dark night, penetrating the fat merchant's neck. Blood slowly left the neck like a stream. The fat merchant didn't even have time to struggle for a moment, so he opened his eyes wide open and then fell head-on in front of the seat. Until this time, the originally empty carriage swayed quietly, and a crisp laugh like a silver bell rang. But it soon melted back into the deep night.

For most people, it was just a normal and peaceful night.

But that's all.

With the sun rising the next day, the entire Highlands was filled with unprecedented tension.

"What's going on!!"

Shan Lide looked at the miserable scene in front of him, his face was so gloomy that he almost twisted out of water. Around him, the soldiers were trembling and unable to say a word. In front of them, a fat body that had been dead for a long time was fished by ropes at the top of the stone tablet in the middle of the Highlands Square. The fat face still had a look of surprise and fear, and it was frozen in the moment of death. Under the corpse, a big notice was floating.

"Highlands don't need you greedy bastards!"

"Get out, otherwise, this is your role model!!"

"This is a threat and a warning!"

"Our city is our own city!"

The bright red font was written on the white paper, so dazzling under the sunlight. When Shan Lide gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. At this time, a considerable number of people had gathered around the square, including local residents and foreign merchants. When they saw this notice, everyone had different expressions. The foreign merchants naturally felt fear and uneasy, while the local people looked at the notice with obvious fanaticism and excitement, because it said what they wanted to say. Yes, this is their city, not a place where these ghosts outsiders could rage at will!

"Please give it!"

At this moment, Shan Lide saw a young man wearing a clerk's uniform and rushed to the scene with a team of guards. Seeing the young man, Shan Lide narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully with a hint of coldness - Cliff. Although he was the deputy of the old undead city lord, Shan Lide had long known that he had attracted many people in private to try to master the city. However, Cliff never took the other party seriously. Whether it was wisdom or fighting skills, this young man

None of them are his opponents, so he simply let the other party grow bigger and wait until the right time is right before annihilation. But now it seems that he will be too relaxed? Is this what he did? How is it possible? According to the report of his subordinates, they did not find any abnormalities last night. Although Shan Lide believes that these bastards must have covered up a little in the reporting process to cover up their mistakes, he does not think that Cliff and others are really capable of doing this.

"Come, tear all these things! Then put the body down and cremated!"

Looking at Cliff who was rushing toward him, Shan Lid gave the order with a cold face, and then he stared at Cliff who came to him coldly.

"Mr. Cliff, I am very surprised that such a thing happened. I hope you can report to the city lord and let him know that such a thing will happen in his city. I hope you can catch the murderer as soon as possible and give an explanation to the merchants who came here! I think you should be mentally prepared."

After saying this, Shan Lide didn't even look at Cliff again, and turned around and left. Cliff frowned and looked at Shan Lide's distant back, with a little uneasiness flashing in his eyes.

Who did it?!!

After arranging his soldiers to clean up the aftermath, Cliff walked on the street worriedly, and he naturally noticed the threat in Shan Lide's tone. But what does this have to do with him? Could it be that someone below couldn't help but take action privately? If this is the case, it would have a huge impact on their plans. How could those idiots think of such a stupid way? Didn't they tell them that this kind of thing must not be done at the moment? Damn it, that city lord is

It is unreliable that such a major thing that the merchants who came to Highland City were killed was not something they could bear now. Who was it? Are they his subordinates? Or was it just a simple accident? After all, in Highland City, not all those who opposed the Irangnik Chamber of Commerce would join their subordinates, and Cliff has always been as far away from those radicals as possible to avoid being burned by them. But Cliff did not expect that those guys had such courage to do such things without being discovered by anyone.

In short, go back and check it out first to see what is going on. You must conduct a careful investigation. Now is an extraordinary period………

"Isn't this Mr. Cliff?"

Just as Cliff was thinking hard, an elegant and beautiful voice sounded, interrupting his thoughts. He raised his head and saw a beautiful black-haired girl in a long black dress staring at her with a smile, and behind her was the delicate and cute little blonde maid like a doll.

If I remember correctly, she was indeed…………

"Hello, Miss Miranda."

Seeing the girl in front of him, Cliff calmed down and bowed respectfully to the other party.

"I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Cliff."

The girl showed an elegant and moving smile, walked to Cliff and stared at him quietly. Feeling the girl's eyes, Cliff was a little embarrassed. He subconsciously lowered his head and took two steps back. However, before Cliff could think of what to say, the girl in front of him turned her eyes and asked curiously.

"By the way, what happened today? I saw that there seemed to be a lot of commotion in front of me."

"Ah, this..."

Hearing Miranda's inquiry, Cliff, who was already a little cramped, calmed down as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from the beginning. Yes, now it is the most important thing on his side, he doesn't have time to waste it here.

"Today, a body was found in the square. We are investigating the murder case. Miss Miranda and your maid should not go out in the near future. I think this matter will soon be revealed. After all, Highland City is not a big city, and I think we can catch the murderer soon."

"The murder?"

Miranda was obviously surprised to hear Cliff's words, but soon her expression calmed down again.

"So much for Mr. Cliff's advice, and I wish you the successful crackdown of this murder case... Then, I hope you can be more careful."

"I will, thank you, Miss Miranda."

Although he felt that the other party's final words were a little strange, Cliff nodded and quickly turned away. It was not until his back disappeared from the crowd that "Miranda" withdrew his gaze and then looked at Angelinte, who also had an expression of excitement and expectation next to him.
