Luo Fan, who had already returned to Ai Li's side, paid no attention to what was happening outside. Since he had already done what he needed to do, he might as well take some time to properly take stock of those things.
He didn't have time to check what was inside the box last night.
"Father, what brings you here?" Daisy asked curiously as she ran over to the Duke as he entered.
“A lot happened last night. Several families moved a lot of their core members away, and even more have moved today. Luo Fan, come with me to assist with the investigation,” Simmons said, looking at the slime on Ellie’s shoulder.
"Oh, you're here to see him? I'll go study now." Daisy ran off, looking a little disappointed. Yesterday, her father had also been in a hurry, only giving her a brief greeting with a rather cold attitude.
“Duke, Luo Fan says he doesn’t want to move.” Ellie said helplessly.
"You have to come with me even if you don't want to. There are still many things I haven't sorted out!" Saying this, he stepped forward to grab the slime, but it slipped away and disappeared into the shadows.
"That bastard!"
"Luofan said he will cooperate with your investigation; he needs to stay in the shadows and confirm some things!" Ellie added, and the Duke immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
When he returned to his residence, Kerry rushed in and pulled a magic bag from his pocket.
"Father, Luo Fan asked me to give this to you, saying it's important intelligence."
Behind him, a dark figure flashed by.
"Why is this guy avoiding me like this?!" Simmons opened his magic bag, glanced inside, and immediately understood what was happening. He hurriedly headed towards the palace.
"Holy crap, that guy must have dug up someone's treasure trove! He found so many accounts and secret letters!"
"From now on, I must carry my important belongings with me at all times. That thing is just too good at stealing things!"
Inside the palace, the emperor, looking at the chaotic mess of resignation letters, was utterly bewildered. What was wrong with all those ministers? Why were they all requesting to retire and return to their hometowns?
"Your Majesty, Duke Simmons requests an audience! He says it is urgent!"
"What's he doing here? Did he find out something? Let him in quickly!"
Soon, the two men stared at each other, wide-eyed. What Luo Fan had provided was too shocking; the amount of money involved in official corruption and bribery was enormous, involving the Temple of Gods and Demons, the Abyss of Demons, and even another empire.
No wonder those guys ran away. With their lives hanging in the balance, no one dared to risk their life by suddenly losing such a crucial document.
"Sigh, I was thinking about how to gradually take back power, but that thing just set things on fire." Saint Gulas sighed, realizing that the situation was quite complicated.
If not handled properly, it could very well trigger turmoil within the empire, so he could only proceed cautiously.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Let's keep them calm for now, lest they become desperate and do something rash. Right now, they probably don't know who got these documents, and they're probably suspecting me, since the treasure vault was Sikong Shu's doing."
"Luo Fan was able to sneak in because he has control over spatial elements. That thing probably emptied those people's treasure vaults!"
Simmons wondered if this meant he could make another trade with him. No wonder his daughter's level had almost surpassed George's after not seeing her for a while; she must have used up a lot of resources.
"Then let them leave?"
"Keep things calm for now. Since they won't talk, let's pretend we don't know and focus on investigating the case with Curry. Also, have someone keep an eye on that special trading place."
"Okay. What about Luo Fan?"
“Caitlyn is definitely in danger. The Cult of Poseidon has a lot of influence there. Let him go and help. If he stays here, who knows how much trouble he'll cause. It's better to send him far away.”
"What about Ellie? It'll be even more dangerous over there!"
"They will remain at the Princess's residence, and I will send people to protect them."
After discussing the matter carefully for a while, Simmons left the palace.
Looking at the resignations on the table, Saint Gulas rejected most of them, kept a few without processing them directly, and approved the requests of those in key positions.
As for how far they can run, that depends on their abilities.
This little rascal stole so much treasure! I need to notify Caitlin and have her investigate. If I do it myself, that guy will definitely try to cover it up; I need to find a way to counter him.
The Elf Realm is about to open, and the capital city will definitely be in turmoil then. It's better to stay calm for now.
Saint Gulas took the magic bag and entered his treasure room. After checking it several times, he left a large note in a prominent position in the middle.
Luo Fan, if you dare to steal my things, you will bear the consequences!
He glanced at the large characters he had written and left satisfied.
Now that we have evidence, it's difficult to deal with it openly, so we still need to take covert actions, at least to cut off those hands that are reaching out unnecessarily.
Luo Fan was unaware that he had been drafted; he had no choice but to hand over those troublesome documents. As for how to handle them, that was beyond his control.
This time, he swept through four treasure vaults, and among them was an ice crystal bone with inscriptions, which was the most exciting discovery for him.
Xiaoxue's chance to advance has finally arrived.
At this moment, he was hiding in the princess's treasure vault with his snow maiden, and even Ellie didn't know his current location.
"Brother Fan!" Xiaoxue blinked her big eyes and stayed obediently to the side.
“I don’t know what will happen during this inscription transfer. But this Frost Condensation inscription should suit you well. Xiaoxue, you must follow my instructions throughout the entire process.” Luo Fan knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
This matter concerns the Snow Woman's future, and he is not even sure if his life will be in danger.
"Hmm, Xiaoxue, don't be afraid. I feel a sense of familiarity with the patterns on it." Sensing Luo Fan's serious attitude, the little girl also became serious.
"That's good. First, take off all your clothes. I need to sense all the changes in your body. After I extract that inscription and inject it into your body, you must control the magic core to slowly absorb it. I will also assist you from the side."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Luo Fan comforted the cute girl beside him, and then he saw her clothes slowly disappear, revealing her fair and delicate body.
"Brother Fan, I'm ready, let's begin."
After carefully examining the girl's body and recording some details with a memory stone, Luo Fan swallowed the ice crystal bone and simultaneously extended a sharp spike, piercing into the girl's abdomen.
Its petite body is crystal clear, cool, and exudes a gentle icy aura.
Luo Fan focused his mind and began his practiced operation. He only had one chance, and he didn't want to attach the inscription to himself, so he deliberately moved all his magic cores to the other side.
At this moment, it looks like half of it is black and the other half is completely black, which is very discordant.
Soon, guided by his divine sense, the inscriptions on the bones slowly fell off and moved along the tentacle under Luo Fan's control.
Xiaoxue held her breath, closed her eyes, and focused all her energy on moving her magic core toward Luo Fan's tentacles.
Just now, when Brother Fan saw her body, he seemed to pause for a moment, which she noticed.
Hehe, Brother Fan is really funny, I like him so much~
