Otherworldly Gem Merchant

Chapter 82

"By the way, Hughes, I forgot to tell you last time, you were investigated."

Na Lian picked up the teapot in front of him and poured Hughes a cup of rich black tea.

After working for two days, Na Lian remembered that their purpose of going to Hughes that day was not for magical weapons at all, but because Hughes was investigated.

"Investigated,"

When Na Lian came to look for him today, Yan Xiu felt that Na Lian must have something to do. After all, the matter of arming is hot, even Na Lian is very busy.Although those who have used weapons will not reveal the news about the weapons, they will also leak part of the news, and they will try their best to please Augustus, Sam and Nalian.

"Yes, we didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to investigate you in the City of Plenty." When Na Lian said this, her pretty face was also full of sternness.

Hughes is the focus of their protection, and it is definitely not something that can be investigated casually.Dare to investigate Hughes on their land in the city of abundance, and don't take them seriously.

"But don't worry, he didn't get any news."

Having said this, Na Lian's face softened a little.

"Who is investigating me?" Yan Xiu was not very nervous.

Since the other party didn't get any news, he wouldn't be too nervous.Even if the other party really investigates some news, it may not be able to do anything to him.The more this is the case, the more you have to relax, panic will only make yourself passive.

What's more, as far as Yan Xiu's status is concerned, being investigated is already numb to him.It is impossible for him to regain the feeling of bewilderment and worry when he first knew he was being investigated.

"It's another group of people." Nalian looked at Hughes with deep worry, "We thought Lilia sent someone to investigate you, but the result of our investigation is not like this. Investigate your People seem to belong to another force, and we haven't found out exactly what force it is. Hughes, you have to be careful recently."

"I will."

If it wasn't Lilia, who would it be?

Yan Xiu frowned, thinking about who might investigate him, but after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing to think about.There are many people who want to investigate him, there are many now, and there will only be more in the future.It is impossible for him to check the bottom of everyone who came to investigate him.

"Hughes, don't worry, we will protect you." Nalian didn't want to see Hughes being so entangled. After all, it was their responsibility to protect Hughes.That was the original contract. "No matter what, your safety is the most important thing."

"……thanks."

After sending Na Lian away, Yan Xiu thought about it, and returned to his room from the courtyard.

Pushing open the door, several huge boxes came into his sight.These seemingly heavy boxes contain magical weapons that make the people outside think about them.The magical weapons that others have been thinking about, in Yan Xiu's place, they are just put in a box like this, and they don't take them out to wipe them.

Yan Xiu glanced at these boxes, then walked to the cabinet where the boxes were placed, looked at the cabinet quietly for a while, then sat back at the table, took out the newly sent equipment and began to draw the magic circle.

On the other side, after Na Lian left, she quickly walked back to her own room. There was already a man in black kneeling in the room.The tall and straight figure knelt straight on the ground. When Na Lian walked in, she didn't waver at all, as calm as a mountain.

Na Lian walked quickly to the chair in front of the man in black and sat down. The sitting posture was as elegant as ever, but it couldn't hide the faint sense of anxiety.

"Did you find anything?"

"Return to Madam, the man who investigated Mr. Hughes is called Gufu, and he lives in the hotel on the south side of the city of abundance. There is another man with him, named Dewey Leslie." The voice of the man in black was like his As calm as a person, the tone is flat and without any ups and downs.

Na Lian was taken aback, with an expression of disbelief on her face, "What do you think is the name of the person walking with him?"

"Dewey Leslie." There was no doubt about Na Lian's order, and the man in black just repeated it calmly.

"How could it be him……"

It is not an exaggeration to say that Na Lian was shocked when she heard Dewey's name from her subordinates.It never occurred to her that Dewey, who had worked hard with Hughes before, would participate in the investigation of Hughes.When she first met Hughes, Nalian knew that Hughes trusted Dewey very much, and Dewey was also very loyal to Hughes. At least Nalian couldn't see that Dewey's loyalty to Hughes was fake at that time.

Now that Dewey got involved in the investigation of Hughes, Na Lian felt a little stupid.

Dewey, why are you investigating Hughes?

Yes, why did Dewey investigate Hughes?Dewey and Hughes have been together for so long, does Dewey still need to investigate Hughes?What's more, with such a careless investigation, Dewey knew that she and Augustus were Hughes' collaborators, so it was impossible for him to investigate Hughes so easily.

Maybe there is some misunderstanding?

After making up her mind, Na Lian raised her head and looked at her subordinate who had been kneeling on the same spot without moving, "Dewey and Gufu, what actions are you doing?"

"Gufu goes out to investigate Mr. Hughes every day, and his actions are very regular. Dewey and Leslie's actions are unknown." The man in black spoke with a slightly heavier tone when he talked about Dewey than when he talked about Gufu.Although he didn't mean it, Na Lian still heard it.

Regarding this, Na Lian smiled, "That Dewey Leslie, isn't that easy to deal with?"

The man in black knelt on the spot and did not speak.

Before the man in black could reply, Na Lian suddenly thought of Dewey Leslie, the name Leslie...she seemed to have heard of it somewhere.

"Dewey...Leslie...Leslie...?"

Na Lian's eyes widened suddenly, because she remembered why the surname Leslie was so familiar to her ears!

The Leslie family was originally a big family in the strongest Nuodai Empire on the Aposhat continent. It can be said that the Leslie family's status in the Nuodai Empire is irreplaceable, and has always been favored by the king. Under the shadow of the king, it is developing rapidly.It is said to be the most noble family.

However, few people know why the Leslie family is so popular with Wang.In fact, the Leslie family is a research-oriented family.A long time ago, they were favored by the king because their research brought him strength and benefits.And gradually, they would also dedicate some strange research products to Wang.Emperors are always curious and cruel about novelty...

Thinking of the dirty experiments that the Leslie family had done, Na Lian trembled a little.The reason why Leslie's residual forces are in Brandt is also because their experiments were finally discovered by the Church of Light.The Church of Light, which serves the God of Light, naturally cannot tolerate this violation of the doctrine that the God of Light loves the world, and immediately uses the greatest power of the Holy See to kill and exile the Leslie family, and the Nordai Empire has also been implicated. Since then, he has never recovered.

Nalian has always known that Brandt has members of the Leslie family, but in fact she didn't pay much attention to it.This family has disappeared for many years...

She didn't expect that Dewey turned out to be from the Leslie family.Then he is beside Hughes...

Thinking of this, Na Lian's heart sank straight down.

Don't think that Hughes has a cold face all day long, so she can't see that Hughes is not happy. Ever since Dewey disappeared, Hughes has been in a gloomy mood.She was a woman, and she felt something was wrong with Hughes more than Augustus or Sam.But now, Dewey is from the famous Leslie family, and Hughes is so special...

She is very worried.

"...Go and keep an eye on Dewey, Leslie and Gufu." Nalian said in a low voice, "If they make any moves, come and tell me immediately."

"Yes."

After Yan Xiu made a few more pieces of equipment, he found that the equipment was gone, but there were still a lot of gems.

Putting down the equipment half embedded in the magic circle in his hand, Yan Xiu wondered if he should find a chance to go out for a walk.Although Na Lian said that his current situation was a bit dangerous, it was impossible for him to be locked in the house all day.He wouldn't go to dangerous places to make trouble for Nalian and Augustus, so he might as well just go to Landry for a walk to relax.

Yan Xiu walked out of the room, called the maid to inform Na Lian that he would go to the Rand Gem Store, and then called several vampire guards sent to him by Augustus and Sam.

He regretted his life.

Walking out of August's residence with his personal guards, Yan Xiu's eyes lighted up.

The bustling streets and the endless stream of people made him feel like he hadn't seen him for a long time.He felt that he hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, which immediately made Yan Xiu feel a lot better, and even walked a lot easier.

The guards following Yan Xiu exchanged glances, and slowly dispersed around Yan Xiu, disappearing in the crowd.

Yan Xiu didn't pay attention to where the personal guards went, and he didn't know where these personal guards were. He only knew that if he encountered danger, they would definitely show up.

So Yan Xiu walked in the direction of the Rand gem shop without any scruples.

Not long after Yan Xiu left, a familiar red-haired woman appeared in a corner, looked at Yan Xiu's leaving back, and twitched the corners of her mouth maliciously.

Before arriving at the Rand gem shop, Yan Xiu stood still.

The swarms of people were nestled in front of the Rand gem shop, entering through the main entrance of the gem shop one by one, and from time to time cast unfriendly glances at anyone who might be queuing up.

Yan Xiu stood outside the long line, and they seemed to be from two worlds.

Yan Xiu is also very puzzled, isn't the gemstone he provided not enough?He obviously provided gemstones according to the quantity that Augustus said?

Before Yan Xiu could continue to struggle, a waiter at the Rand Gem Shop saw Yan Xiu before he reached the door of the shop, and quickly notified the person in charge of the gem shop to receive Yan Xiu.

The person in charge came out from the back door secretly, and then walked around Yan Xiu in an unobtrusive way, "Mr. Hughes, hello, welcome to the Rand gem shop today."

"Hello." Yan Xiu looked at the people who were queuing up, and then at the person in charge of the gem shop standing beside him, "I'm going to trouble you today."

"No, no, this is what I should do." The person in charge gestured to the waiters in the store from a distance, and led Yan Xiu out of the store. "I'm very sorry, but I can't take you in through the main entrance. Even Lord Augustus and Mrs. Nalian can't enter the gem shop through the main entrance. I hope you can understand."

After hearing what the person in charge said, Yan Xiu nodded to show that he understood very well.

If the person in charge took him to jump in from the main entrance openly, then he would probably be sacked when he left the gem shop, and sacking might be the gentlest way.

Entering the Rand Gem Shop, Yan Xiu asked the person in charge to go off on his own.He can walk around slowly by himself.

The Rand gem shop is full of people, from all races, almost all the races that Yan Xiu can think of appear here.Therefore, the air quality in the Rand Gem Store is not good either, and there are always different smells from different races.It is said that the dogs, wolves, orcs with an overly sensitive sense of smell have fainted here more than once or twice, and now there are special compartments for the dogs and orcs in the store, so that they can have a rest .

Just thinking about whether it was such an exaggeration, Yan Xiu saw an orc with a blue face pushing away from a room and walking in, his steps were staggering as if he might fall down at any time.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Yan Xiu was about to turn around and look at another place.

Sometimes I'm glad I'm human.

What Yan Xiu didn't know was that Lilia also followed him in shortly after he entered the Rand gem shop.Compared with Yan Xiu who can directly enter the Rand Gem Store without queuing, Lilia relied on her beauty to beg someone to advance herself so that she could enter the Rand Gem Store within two hours after Yan Xiu entered.

— After all, not everyone thinks she is good-looking, and not everyone is willing to give up gems for beauty.

"Hmph, I want to see what you are."

Lilia squeezed into the Rand gem shop covered in sweat, muttering, and squeezed into the crowd again to find Hughes.

She knew that Hughes had gems on him, and when Victor stopped her, no one could stop her now.Even if Hughes has an unusual relationship with Augustus and Nalian, to put it bluntly, he is not an incompetent human being.What's more, she is not completely helpless here, the rights that Master Lancelot gave her are more than that.

The clerk who dared to unilaterally cut off her contact, she would make him pay for it.
