Everyone was aghast when they heard the British Lord’s questioning tone. Mr. Chardon was the first to speak up as he said respectfully, “British Lord, I’m still investigating in Eastcliff. Even though there are no clear clues yet, I believe that there will definitely be results in Oskia.”
The British Lord asked coldly, “Do you still believe that there is a high possibility that Vera has escaped to Oskia?”
Mr. Chardon replied, “Yes! I believe that Vera should be in Oskia.”
The British Lord asked him, “Why are you so sure?”
Mr. Chardon said, “I’ve analyzed Vera’s current situation. Although choosing a vast and sparsely populated place to hide might seem like the best option, she has failed in Northern Europe, so she will definitely do the opposite and go to a place with more people after failing once. As the saying goes, those with great potential will stay hidden in the city. Moreover, Vera is also an Oskian, so it would definitely be the best choice for her to hide in Oskia.”
The British Lord was silent for a moment before he said, “This witch is even more cunning than a fox. I can’t figure her out either. Mr. Chardon, you should just follow your intuition, then.”
Mr. Chardon clasped one of his hands over the other respectfully and said, “Understood!”
The British Lord then added, “By the way, since you’re already in Oskia, you should take some time to visit Aurous Hill too.”
Mr. Chardon asked, “Visit Aurous Hill? I wonder what your orders are for me, British Lord?”
The British Lord murmured, “Eight years old… Twenty years have passed since then, so he should be twenty-eight years old now.”
Mr. Chardon said respectfully, “You’re right, British Lord!”
The British Lord said coldly, “Mr. Chardon, if he is still alive, you shouldn’t let him live past thirty!”
Mr. Chardon replied without hesitation, “British Lord, please rest assured that I will definitely kill him within two years as long as he’s still alive! If he’s already dead, I will dig out his bones and present them to you!”
