As Ryan expected, Lufas, who had just woken up from his sleep by the guards, was furious.

"Bare! I arranged hundreds of people to work in a mere civil building. Now you actually told me that people are missing under my nose?!"

Lufas gasped heavily, his bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at the black moon-smiling tiger with bandages on his shoulders.

"Mr. Li Cao, I remember that the order I gave you was to "protect" Livslahill's princess?"

Li Cao replied with a smile, "It's true, but unfortunately his skills are not as good as others. I have nothing to defend myself. Your Excellency Yin's strength has improved a lot, and it's beyond my reach."

A cold light flashed in Lufas's eyes: "Mr. Li of Black Moon, can I regard your answer as irresponsible for the mission?"

“Where do it.”

Li Cao waved his hand and said, "I have done my best. Even if I am injured, I can't stop the legendary assassin. It's better to say..."

Pushing his glasses, Li Cao showed some sinister smile on his face, "Governor Lufas is unwilling to entrust the full authority of the building security work to Heiyue. It is already the limit for us to be able to do this."

"What?!"

The leader of the Closebell Guards was a lieutenant colonel in his 40s. At this time, he glared at Li Cao with anger and asked, "Did you mean that our Guards didn't do their best?"

"No, no, no, I don't mean that. It's your limit to be able to do this."

Li Cao chuckled leisurely and said, "The so-called professionalism is specialized, and soldiers naturally have unique advantages in charging, but they are defensive to infiltration of supernatural figures... I am frank, you are still far from it."

"Shadowless!"

"Enough!"

Lufas stopped the two of them with a gloomy face. "Mr. Li Cao, I hope Heiyue can track Yin, at least know where she took her husband and she escaped."

Li Cao spread his hands and said, "Sorry, the legendary assassin is not the kind of rookie you imagined. We had conducted a preliminary survey of the scene last night. The answer is... no clue was left."

Lufas suppressed his anger that was about to erupt, and asked in a deep voice, "In other words, it is impossible for us to find Liv's Maiden again?"

"It's a pity, but that's the result, unless you can find her place through a carpet-style search."

Li Cao lowered his head slightly and covered his gloating smile on his face. "But the possibility of this kind of fortune-telling approaching is infinitely close to zero. I guess Mr. Yin has a high chance of taking his husband away from Closebell."

Lufas closed his eyes and controlled his emotions. He didn't want to burst out in front of this smiling tiger waiting to watch jokes.

"I understand, Mr. Li Cao, the consequences of this mission failure. After everything is calmed down, I will settle the score with Heiyue and leave."

Li Cao bent down respectfully and bowed, "Your will, Your Excellency the Governor."

After Lieutenant Colonel Rhodesas left, he asked angrily, "Governor Lufas, are we just letting the princess escape from Closebell like this?"

"What about that?"

Lufas looked at the straightforward soldier coldly, "Are you still sure to get her back? In this case, there is no clue?"

Rhodesas: "We can completely martial law across the state. I believe that the little thief cannot escape so quickly..."

"Enough, give up."

Lufas rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, "Since the other party blatantly launched a rescue operation, it means they have already thought of a way out, how could it be so easy for us to catch it?"

"About the plan of Livslahil's Maiden failed completely, we must first try whether we can remedy it."

"After IBC starts business tomorrow morning, it will immediately come to the door to ask them to freeze the assets of Fairy Technology."

"Prior to the grounds of treason and espionage, IBC has put pressure on the IBC to confiscate all the assets of Fairy Technology."

A consultant brought by Lufas reminded him with concern, "Governor, I'm afraid IBC won't..."

"I know."

Lufas waved his hand and interrupted the other party's inquiry, sighed helplessly and leaned against the office chair.

"We have completely failed this plan. At least we must be perfect in the aftermath and we must not find any faults in the process."

Looking at the dark night sky outside the window in a daze, Lufas gritted his teeth unwillingly.

"The Grand Duke will leave Closbel to the imperial capital tomorrow morning. Things have come to this point and are irreversible."

"Next, put all your attention on the wetlands, and the awakening of the Golden Rider God cannot make any mistakes."

"yes!"

After everyone left the office, Lufas could no longer maintain his previous demeanor.

He clenched the red wine glass in his hand with a gloomy face, "'Silver'... Lisha Mao, Reinhart! Even if you are missing, will you still cause trouble for me!"

...

Early morning of July 28

Under Governor Lufas, with a smile on his face, the Grand Duke Albert finished his visit to Closbeer and boarded the special flight ship for the office and went west.

After seeing off the grandfather, Ellie, who was supporting her grandfather, looked at Lufas's departure with a smile.

"Grandpa, our Governor General doesn't look very good, and he always feels that his expression is like a forced smile."

“Haha~”

Speaker McDowell, with Ellie's support, walked slowly with a trembling crutch, with a hint of obscure joking on his face.

"I guess the turmoil last night made him feel overwhelmed. Half a month of planning was completely empty. It is unlikely that he would have such a good opportunity to seize the weakness of Grand Duke Albert in the future."

When Ellie was in charge of the old speaker got into the car, she whispered in his ear, "Grandpa, according to Royd, 'they' did not leave with the grand duke, do you think..."

Speaker McDowell gave Ellie a look, "'They must have their own considerations. Since they have not left such a big thing yet... it means that the account and the Governor of ours have not been settled. Let's wait and see what the changes are."

...

Closebell Residential Area

Ryan and Lisha come to the mansion they once lived with.

The house has been uninhabited for a long time. Although Ryan entrusts Alex to arrange regular hours to help him take care of it, as Alex loses trace, maintenance work stops.

The garden in front of the mansion is already overgrown with weeds, and even if you don’t enter the mansion, you can guess that it is covered with a lot of dust.

Ryan looked at the slightly messy vestur with some regret. "It's better to ask someone to help take care of it. Otherwise, let Royd inform Miss Lanfei to help arrange it."

Lanfei is the front desk manager of IBC and a native of Crossbeer. She has worked for IBC since the Dita period and has a very broad connection with the land of Crossbeer.

Lixia, who was also easy to face, held Ryan's right hand and nodded gently, "I have no objection. It's a pity to let this mansion be abandoned. Qiya must be unhappy."

With Ryan moving out of Closebell, such mansions are rarely used.

But Ryan, Lixia and Qiya lived here together and spent a lot of warm time. Ryan and Lixia both wanted to keep this mansion that carries a lot of memories completely.

"Let's go."

Ryan finally took a deep look at the mansion in front of him and turned toward West Street with Lisha.
