After hearing that everyone was discussing the planning of the Spirit Card Competition, Mitris immediately became interested.

"As the first issuer of Spirit Cards, there is no reason for me to let others host the first competition!"

Holding the railing, Mitris couldn't help but applaud the idea of ​​holding a competition.

After finally suppressing her excitement, she immediately raised her hands and announced loudly to the players on the first floor:

"That's a great idea! I'll inform the inventor of the Spirit Card, the Artificer Carl. I think he should be willing to approve the holding of this competition, and maybe even give out one or two of his treasured Spirit Cards as prizes."

Although this sentence was full of uncertainty, Mitris still said it with a firm tone.

But just as she was thinking about how to convince Carl to hold this competition, the players on the first floor had spontaneously made way for Lisanna.

"Come on! Chief of the Public Security Bureau! You must convince your brother!"

"If you convince him, we will recommend you to the finals!"

"Long live Lisanna!"

Under the flattery of her fellow card players, Lisanna walked to the stairs in a daze and stood side by side with Mitris.

"Don't worry! My fellow poker players! I will definitely convince my brother! Just wait for my good news! Oh! By the way! Don't make trouble recently! This is the condition for me to convince my brother!"

After saying that, Lisanna turned to look at Mitris.

Both of them saw the high fighting spirit in each other's eyes, so they nodded at the same time.

…

Just as the card players in the Afterlife Bar were cheering for the first Spirit King Game Competition, at the Kolan Castle headquarters, Joanna and her cousin Kasha were standing in front of the teleportation array with serious faces.

As the light of the teleportation array lit up, the middle-aged noble who had been transferred away because of his failure in seizing power once again came to the land that had caused his failure.

"Welcome, Viscount Lando. I hope you come with good intentions this time."

After several months of training, Joanna now looks quite powerful.

Joanna's governing philosophy of practicing the belief in honor and justice made her path as a pastor exceptionally smooth.

Her insightful thoughts allowed her to gain a significant spiritual boost every time she prayed and meditated.

The Dragon Mark Family would occasionally send special coaches to train her and her cousin, which allowed the two original rookie professionals to grow rapidly.

Now facing the senior noble who had caused them so much trouble in the past, the two of them became much more confident.

"Oh, of course! In fact, every time I come here, I have good intentions. Your parents even asked me to ask you about what you have gained during this period on their behalf."

With a slight smile on his lips, the Viscount named Lando used the parents of the two people to put pressure on Joanna and the others with a forced smile.

But this trick might be effective against the previous Joanna, but for the current Joanna, these verbal words are unlikely to shake her.

"I don't think Viscount Lando is here to convey greetings to my parents. Let's talk business first, about... the various troubles caused by those noble children in Storm Bay."

Just as Joanna said, this Viscount Lando came here not to make a comeback, but to "redeem" those noble children on behalf of their parents.

This includes the medical expenses of those noble children and the food expenses during this period.

Although the money was not much, it was disgusting enough for those nobles who originally wanted to seize the rule of Storm Bay.

The failure of their business and the tragic experience of almost being killed made them face the reality. They just wanted to return to their own comfort zone as soon as possible and live a life of luxury, so they begged to send messages to their families.

After all, he is their own child, and those nobles cannot ignore him even for the sake of their own reputation.

What's more, the news had already been publicized. If they didn't rescue him, it would damage their own reputation and they would be suspected of having fallen into poverty.

So, they didn't bother two people with the same problem and went to find the viscount who had suffered a setback in Storm Bay last time.

"Ha! Please, Miss Joanna, take me to see those poor children. Don't worry, I have made sufficient preparations before coming here this time."

When talking about "preparation", Lando's voice became a little gritted.

But Joanna seemed not to have heard anything and led the other party out of the base very naturally.

The people responsible for guarding those noble children are the Vigilant Dragonmark Family, who are also the main organizers of the chain of banks across the entire continent - the dwarves.

Whether it is jewelry, precious metals, prisoners, or secrets, the Kundarak family can help their clients keep them intact until the special person comes to claim them.

The moment he saw the other person, Viscount Lando's face twitched slightly.

Just like the Kundarak family’s legendary security issues, their charging standards are also quite “legendary”.

As if she could see what he was thinking, Joanna explained calmly, "Don't worry, this is a public facility. The Kundarak family will not charge any fees this time, but they hope that several of the noble elders can pay the overdue loans and vault rental fees as soon as possible."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Viscount Lando's mood was about to calm down, but the second half almost made him fall down.

The faces of several Throne Castle nobles instantly flashed through his mind, and he also had a better understanding of their weak nature.

After taking a deep breath, Viscount Lando was about to move forward, but he saw a gloomy-faced man walking out of the bank across the street, followed by two dwarves, and a huge box was being put on his carriage together.

Judging from the weight of the box, there must be a lot of treasure inside.

Lando's eyes couldn't help but twitch this time.

The gloomy-looking man drove the carriage away from the bank quickly and found his companion on the street at the corner.

His companion was wearing a standard rogue outfit, with the sleeve of his left arm rolled up completely.

If Udyr were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that the other party was the Takkanan assassin who was chasing him.

After exchanging glances, the assassin jumped onto the carriage and asked his companion who was driving, "Any news from the headquarters? Are they going to assassinate directly in Storm Bay, or are there other plans?"

His companion tilted his head slightly, glanced at the clean and tidy streets and the small constructs everywhere, and then said hoarsely: "We have to wait a little longer. Now is not a good time. Alas, you are always so impatient. If you had made more preparations before, the traitor Udyr might be dead now!"

Hearing his companion's lecture, the man in a standard rogue outfit frowned.

"The more elaborate the plan, the easier it is to go wrong. If I hadn't caught Udyr off guard, I might have been the one to die.

Although that guy's alien dragon pattern has no active spell ability, his wild instincts and use of the environment are very exaggerated."

Without arguing with the other party, the gloomy-faced man pulled the reins, turned the carriage and headed for his residence in Storm Bay.
