In the evening, Klein, who had just returned from St. Samuel Church, was about to enter the restaurant on the second floor when he saw the butler Walter coming over and bowing respectfully, saying:

"Sir, the matter you want to investigate has been clarified."

Klein did not ask in front of the servants and maids around him. He nodded calmly and said:

"To the study."

Walter followed him all the way to the third floor and watched Richardson open the door of the study and light the gas wall lamp inside.

Klein walked to the desk at a moderate pace, sat down, and looked at the butler, waiting for him to speak.

Walter motioned Richardson to stand guard outside the door while he leaned closer to the desk and considered his words.

When the door closed again, he said:

"Ms. Vahana's husband is a cloth merchant. He previously cooperated with someone and invested 1,000 pounds, but the other party ran away with the goods. She has asked Councillor Macht and Madam Liana to urge the police department to solve the case as soon as possible. However, the police department cannot guarantee that they will find the target in this kind of situation."

Klein picked up the black round fountain pen on the desk, stroked it and said:

"For Ms. Wahana's family, £1,000 is not a small amount of money."

As far as he knew, a normal tutor's annual income would not exceed £150, and would be even less if the employer provided accommodation and food.

Although Vahana served the upper class and had several employers, her annual income was no more than four or five hundred pounds, and she had to spend a large part of it on her own clothing, posture, and appearance, so as not to be considered by her employers as not decent enough and unable to teach etiquette.

"Yes, her husband's income is only average among cloth merchants. For him, 1,000 pounds is a considerable investment," Walter said tactfully.

For me too... Klein sighed and laughed:

"I just came to Backlund and I'm not familiar with the police department."

Walter responded immediately:

"Sir, when I served Viscount Conrad, I got to know several members of the Backlund Senior Police Officers Association."

Backlund Senior Police Officers Association? These are all the top figures in the Sivella Field. Even the Chief Superintendent in charge of the security of a district is not qualified to enter.

Sivellas Field refers to the Backlund Police Department, named after the street where it is located.

As expected of a butler from an aristocratic family... Klein sighed, smiled and shook his head:

"Not for now. Ms. Vahana has many people she can turn to for help in this regard. Whether it's Congressman Macht or anyone else, they all have enough ability to make Siveras pay attention to this case."

He paused and said casually:

"I have seen the bottom of this society and know their rules of survival. Sometimes, the police may not be as effective as gang members and bounty hunters.

"Walter, go to the police department to get the relevant information, and go to the famous bars in the Backlund Bridge area and the East District to post bounty missions.

"Whether it's finding the criminal or recovering the cloth, I'll offer a reward of 200 pounds.

"Haha, I just hope those scammers are still in Backlund."

"A bounty of 200 pounds?" Walter repeated the amount and couldn't help looking at his employer, as if he couldn't believe that he was willing to pay so much for Wahana's matter.

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to remind someone, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just responded seriously:

"Yes, sir."

"I'll give you the money directly." Klein slowly stood up and took out his wallet.

Walter took the thick cash and asked thoughtfully:

"Want to tell Ms. Vahana?"

Klein smiled:

"unnecessary."

Walter nodded and saluted with some realization:

"Your reputation for generosity and kindness will spread around the neighborhood."

…………

In a cramped but lively pub on Dharavi Street in the East District.

Xio, who had combed his short blond hair carefully before going out, squeezed through the area filled with the smell of alcohol and sweat and came to the bar.

She tapped the wooden board with her fingers and said to the bartender:

"What new commissions are there today?"

If it was someone else, the bartender would definitely ignore him if he asked directly without ordering a drink. But when he saw that the person opposite was Xio, a bounty hunter that everyone would rather not drink, he could only sigh and say:

"There is a commission with a very rich bounty, 200 pounds."

"200 pounds?" Xio almost suspected that she had misheard. Apart from the missions with bounties of this level or even higher that she had received from Miss Audrey, she had never encountered a commission that paid so much money in the East District and the Backlund Bridge area. Even the Azik Eggers mission that had driven the bounty hunters here crazy before was only 150 pounds.

For an ordinary bounty hunter, as long as he can complete this commission, it means he doesn’t need to work for a year!

For Yu Xiu, this is equally important, because she has been helping the mysterious man wearing a golden mask for the past few months, and has preliminarily learned that the other party belongs to MI9. The accumulated merits can be exchanged for the "Interrogator" potion formula.

Therefore, she received very little compensation when helping the other party, and most of it was converted into merit. Her own savings were all obtained by becoming a "sheriff" and having the advantage in finding and hunting down criminals.

After getting the potion formula, I still have to spend money to buy extraordinary materials, and I only have more than 300 pounds now... Fors is right, money is not omnipotent, but it is important enough... Thinking of this, Xio looked at the bartender and asked cautiously:

"What mission? Who commissioned it?"

"Find a few swindlers who stole cloth worth 1,000 pounds." The bartender handed the information to Hugh and said, "The client looks like a butler who calls himself Walter and works for Mr. Dawn Dantes of Boklund Street. If you can catch the swindlers or recover the cloth, you can go there to claim the reward."

Xio quickly flipped through the information, a corresponding image quickly formed in his mind, and he intuitively had a direction to search.

"I'll take this task." She looked up immediately.

The bartender shrugged and said:

“Not just you, all the bounty hunters who came here accepted this mission.

"And they had other ideas."

"What idea?" Xio asked curiously.

The bartender said:

"They said that Mr. Dwayne Dantes was so generous that if he still needed bodyguards, they could recommend themselves.

"However, they later gave up the idea because being a bodyguard doesn't offer the same freedom as being a bounty hunter. Even drinking has to wait until your day off."

That's not a problem for me, but, I can only be a bounty hunter...Xiu nodded, jumped off the high chair in front of the bar, and walked towards the door without wasting time.

…………

The next day, after finishing his lunch, Klein prepared to take a walk in his garden to digest his food.

At this time, the butler Walter came in from outside and followed him quietly, waiting until there was no one else around.

"Sir, two things," he said respectfully.

"Two things?" Klein was a little surprised. He thought there would only be one.

Walter nodded and said:

"Yes, the first thing is about 10% of the shares of Backlund Bicycle Company. Someone has already offered 10,000 pounds.

"Sir, would you like to continue bidding?"

Lifted 1,000 pounds? Not bad! Klein thought about it with embarrassment and said:

“I just came to Backlund, and I have to restrain myself from many things.

"That's it, that's it..."

"Yes, sir." Walter said, "The swindler who stole the cloth from Ms. Vahana's husband has been caught, and the bounty hunter has arrived nearby and asked for payment."

"So fast?" Klein turned his head in surprise and looked at the butler.

If he did it personally, he could indeed solve the problem on the same day, after all, he had the "divination rod method" to find people, but the problem was that most bounty hunters were not fortune tellers.

Well, maybe he is a Beyonder who is good at tracking and finding people... Klein made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

Walter answered affirmatively:

“Yes, much faster than I expected.

"According to the bounty hunter, she traced back from the channels where the stolen goods were sold and found the scammers."

Is it so easy to explain the channels for selling stolen goods? It seems that you have received education from Iron Fist... Klein nodded slightly and said:

"What's the name of that bounty hunter? He seems very capable..."

"She calls herself Hugh." Walter answered truthfully.

No way... Klein almost stumbled, but luckily he had the Joker's super balance ability.

After calming down his inner turmoil, he said thoughtfully:

"Leave the bounty hunter's contact information. Maybe there will be a chance to ask her for help in the future."

"Okay, sir." Walter didn't think there was anything wrong with Dwayne Dantes's instructions. A qualified upper-class person always had some unofficial channels.

Klein didn't continue with the topic he was talking about. He just said, "Hmm."

"How much money was recovered?"

"The total amount of cash on the swindler plus the unsold fabrics is about 850 pounds." Walter seemed to have anticipated that the employer would ask about this matter and had made an assessment in advance.

“Very good.” Klein nodded and said, “After giving the reward to the bounty hunter, help her send the scammer and the stolen goods to the nearest police station.”

…………

North District Police Station.

Vahana and her husband Bakushi looked at the senior inspector opposite them and asked in surprise:

"Did you find it?"

"Did you catch him?"

The senior inspector smiled and responded:

"Yes."

He told them how much cash and cloth he had left, and both Vahana and Bakushi breathed a sigh of relief.

They could still afford 150 pounds, and the remaining cloth still had room for appreciation and profit, so overall the loss was not that big.

They thanked the officer profusely, until Bacchus was called in to identify the stolen goods and the criminal.

Wahana sat there, without losing her composure, and said to the senior inspector in front of her with a smile:

"Your efficiency is beyond my imagination. I'm curious, how did you find those scammers?"

Knowing that the beautiful and elegant lady opposite him knew the member of the House of Commons, the truth would be revealed sooner or later, so the senior inspector answered without hiding anything:

"It was actually done by a bounty hunter. She started from the stolen goods distribution channel and caught the person quickly."

"You are still issuing a bounty?" Wahana seemed to understand what was going on.

The senior inspector shook his head and said:

"We haven't gotten to it yet. It's a bounty posted by someone else. It's 200 pounds."

"200 pounds?" Wahana asked in surprise.

This was no small sum, even more than the expected profit from her husband's business.

Seeing the police officer's affirmative answer, Wahana couldn't help but ask:

"Who posted the reward?"

"The bounty hunter didn't say, but she was accompanied by a gentleman dressed as a butler." The senior inspector briefly described Walter's appearance.

Wahana vaguely guessed who it was, leaned back slightly, and whispered unconsciously:

"200 pounds..."

…………

In the afternoon, at Congressman Macht's house, Vahana, who came to teach his daughter etiquette, first thanked Mrs. Liyana for her help.

Liana, who had dark green hair, said a few humble words and then asked:

"Vahana, I heard that you are still the etiquette teacher of Mr. Dwayne Dantes. I wonder what kind of person he is?"

Vahana considered it for a moment and said:

"A true gentleman, warm-hearted, generous, kind, educated, graceful, and knowledgeable."

Liana nodded slightly, turned to look at the proud girl next to her, chuckled and said:

“It’s a pity that he is too old, otherwise he would be a good blind date candidate.

"Well, I plan to invite him to the dance this weekend.".
