Chapter 51: Maruna's Request

Chapter 51: Maruna's Request (Please Read)

That night,

Outside the city, in the study of the Marquis family castle.

With a little magic power, the attached magic patterns glowed fluorescently, and the square music box emitted pleasant sounds. Then, by twisting the knob, the volume was adjusted to a suitable level.

Baron Marquis began to flip through the thick documents on his desk amidst the melodious music.

It was very strange. He seemed to have dyslexia. He had to read the documents aloud and kept muttering to himself.

"The Wings of Light are here. Where is the bishop of the Church of the Seven? I'm very curious, who will come?"

"If they could have a fight, it would definitely be exciting! They are not ordinary transcendents..."

"What a pity! This Wing of Light will probably never know who blew up the cathedral until his death. Hehehe..."

"Also, has Dorji been unable to sleep these days?"

"The parade, the parade must be arranged as soon as possible. Also, guide the wealthy merchants and nobles to the Executive Office. I'm sick of him!"

"Of course, I will also arrange some people to come to my place. Do I have to make decisions for them?"

"Then there is that area, which must be appeased. There are some things we can do, but we cannot admit them, let alone disclose them."

"By the way, there are many people who have been kidnapped by pirates. Their families will be very worried. They are all the best targets for exploitation."

After muttering for a long time, it is not difficult to find that Baron Marquis is not talking to himself, but to someone invisible.

Or should it be a person, with whom you can ask and answer questions!

Until he came across the information about Luo Yi, the smile on his face gradually faded.

"It's this Luo Yi who really surprised me. He actually has a superhuman being by his side, and his own strength is not weak!"

“He is only eighteen years old this year. A second-level warrior is as weak as a chicken in his hands.

It's really interesting that old guy Raymond was willing to send out such a genius?"

"What a pity, he's a bastard! A bastard!"

"The question now is, should we find a way to kill him? Or should we not kill him?"

"Let's wait and see. I just hope he doesn't go ungrateful!"

The night was dark, the wind was cold, and the entire castle seemed to be plunged into shadow, dark and deep!
……

the other side,
The Archon's Office.

Even though it was late at night, the place was still full of people, queuing up, waiting to be received by Archon Lord Dorji Petrovich.

From time to time, they could hear the roar of a lion in the office.

Born into a military family, Lord Dorji Petrovich has always been a man of his word and has always been resolute and decisive.

Even his subordinates, whom he had promoted, were terrified by his determination and methods.

Of course, his background is so strong that it is said that he can directly reach the royal family.

As for the tragedy in Oakland, if it happened in other cities, the governor would be dismissed the next day.

But in his case, he still held the power firmly in his hands, and all the royal family had to do was send a letter of reprimand.

Of course, the Habsburg Empire was headed by Hohenzollern III, but there were checks and balances, and the Council of Nobles was one of them.

The royal letter of reprimand was light and weightless, but the successive letters of accountability sent by the Council of Nobles made him feel like he was sitting on wax.

He always has to have some outstanding political achievements to silence the gossips.

So, he hasn't been home these days. Various problems have been thrown in front of him, and after he gave the directions, he asked these people to solve them.

You have to admit that Dorji is actually a very capable person. Although Auckland is not a big city, its geographical location is still relatively important.

Not only does it have the convenience of Fisherman's Port, but it also has several roads leading directly to foreign countries. But before he came, this was a smelly town with sewage flowing everywhere and the Marquez family had the final say.

But after he came, he introduced the magical industry, repaired the roads, and vigorously developed commerce, giving the city a new look.

However, his personality makes people feel unfriendly. After so many years, he still uses the military's way of demanding things of his subordinates. While pursuing speed and efficiency, he has also been criticized.

It was not until the second half of the night, when most of the problems were solved and there was finally no one outside the door, that he breathed a sigh of relief.

So, a cup of black coffee was placed in front of him. The man's hands had thick fingers, prominent joints, and were full of strength.

Dorji was not surprised. He picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully.

The strong coffee refreshed his tired spirit. At this moment, he spoke quietly, "From what I know, you and your father have a very bad relationship. Is it necessary for you to seek revenge for him like this?"

After hearing the question, a hoarse voice sounded: "Revenge? No, no, no, that's just a pretext. I hate Woolley Aaron. I hate that he gave birth to me but didn't raise me, and raised me but didn't teach me.

I wish he was dead!"

"Perhaps, the only thing he did for me was to make me qualified to stand in front of you!"

Dorji asked again: "Then why do you insist so much?"

“The reason I persist is not revenge, but I need you to see my worth.

I understand your style of doing things. Incompetent people are not worth your attention. So, I need you to look at me and give me a chance, and I will seize it. "

"Unfortunately, you failed the first time." "That's not Zhan's fault. After all, who would have thought that a bastard would be followed by a third-level extraordinary person.

But I have new plans.”

"What are you going to do?"

"Everyone has something to ask for, and Luo Yi, doesn't he want to get involved in the magic energy machinery industry?

Now is the best opportunity!"

The man with the hoarse voice paused, then spoke again: "I will give him enough reasons, and I will also put him in a desperate situation.

But, that third-order extraordinary person is not someone I can face."

"The Wings of Light are here, so I will let you command the Hand of Death. I will be here, waiting for your good news."

"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Go!"

"Yes!"

The man with the hoarse voice left with steady steps, but as he stepped out of the room, Dorji's distant voice was heard again.

"this is the last time!"

"Understand. If I fail, I will die there."

He finally stepped out of the room, walked through the corridor, and when he came under the street light, the dim light illuminated his face.

He was a man in his thirties, looking a little weathered. He raised his head slightly, facing the cold wind, with his arms open as if he wanted to embrace the night.

His face was 50% similar to Woolley Aaron, and it was the missing Merry Aaron.

……

Roy is waiting, waiting for the day when the chaotic city of Auckland will see the light of day.

He believed that day would not be too far away, because those big shots never had patience.

And what Luo Yi wants to know will surely become clear in this turmoil.

However, what he didn't expect was that before he could wait for what he wanted, someone else came to his door first.

19 Lombard Street, nd floor.

Luo Yi stood at the window and looked down, and saw a man wearing a black gentleman's suit, with messy hair and untidy beard, who had not been groomed for several days, standing there with a sad look on his face.

It was Maruna Marquez, the director of the Chansheli Magic Textile Factory and Roy's partner.

He asked, “What’s going on here?”

Butler Hoover said, "Maruna's house, which you have been to, is in the west of the city!"

Luo Yi suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Could it be that we were attacked by pirates?"

Butler Hoover nodded slightly and said, "His wife is dead. She was killed by pirates and was insulted before she died.

The two children were also kidnapped by pirates, but he escaped because he was not at home due to factory work. "

"Now, the pirates have sent a ransom letter, demanding 500 gold tyres per person, otherwise they will kill you."

"So, he came to borrow money?"

"No, he can handle the money issue himself."

Hoover smiled bitterly: "The problem is, he wants to ask the young master and Mr. Oliveira for help."

"It is common for pirates to demand ransom when robbing, but there are also many cases where they kill the hostages after paying the ransom."

"During this period, your reputation has spread far and wide. On the day of the Divine Grace Festival, the only military achievements that Oakland City could show off were those pirates you left behind."

"Then, all this was known to Maruna, and he wanted to see you, Mr. Oliveira, so he asked me for help and has been pestering me for several days.

I had no choice but to bring him here."

Luo Yi frowned slightly. He had attended the family dinner held by Maruna.

Maruna's wife has a bright and generous smile and treats people with a warm and gentle attitude. She is a very gentle lady.

But now, he died just like that?!

He had also seen the two children, about eight or nine years old, a boy and a girl. It was really enviable to have both a son and a daughter.

But I didn't expect that he would be kidnapped by pirates. A child of that age would have a lower chance of survival than an adult in a pirate's lair.

However, Luo Yi was not sure whether to help or not.

"Master Luo Yi, do you think you will see him or not?"

Luo Yi glanced at Maruna outside the door again, and finally said, "Let's meet him now that we are here."

"Okay, I'll go get him up right away."

 I like to make the supporting characters as stand out as possible, so that they are flesh and blood, with behavioral logic, and not just paper people!
