My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 71 How did you survive?

Destroy the Wellington family... Upon hearing this, Jules's eyes suddenly became deep.

"As far as I know, the Suppression Bureau has never been so tough on the nobles."

Although the centipede was stung by a sinister prick, it did not care about it and just said:
“Sometimes, the evidence is almost complete, and all that’s missing is a reason to attack.

They could have blamed everything on the local natives, but now that they've been exposed, I'll do as they wish and send them on their way."

When he said this, his face looked elegant, but the murderous intent in his words was almost condensed into substance.

Seeing this, Yule raised his eyebrows and slightly adjusted the position of the centipede in his mind.

He had originally thought that even if the other party was at odds with the nobles, he would still be more inclined to compromise, but judging from the look of things, the other party was even more radical than he had imagined.

"When will we do it?"

The centipede glanced at Yule and said:
"I'll do it after your treatment is finished. I've already blocked the news. They don't know I'm planning to eradicate them completely."

Jules closed his eyes and said:

"I have one last question."

The centipede drank the tea in one gulp and gracefully took out his handkerchief.

"Just ask."

"Who is Sir Vesti?"

While speaking, Yule stared at the centipede's reaction, trying to see something from the changes in the other's expression.

Hearing this, Centipede's gaze fell on Yule again. After a while, he smiled faintly and said:

"Just a lucky fat bastard—since you're asking this question, you probably know that the faction within the Suppression Bureau that's against you is his."

Jules's mouth corners slightly raised:

"In that case, I have no doubts."

……

After the conversation between the two ended, Jules left the Port Authority.

He saw that Elizabeth seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Have you solved it?" he asked casually.

"Yes, Mr. Jules," Elizabeth nodded, "They asked me some details about the case."

Finally, she added in a low voice:
"Of course, I didn't mention you."

Yule smiled and said:
"Are you planning to go back to London next?"

Although Elizabeth was initially stunned by the power of the Red Cup and did not know the most crucial information about Si Chen, it would be best if as few people as possible knew those details to avoid more trouble.

"Well," Elizabeth lowered her head and counted on her fingers, "After they learned about my current situation during the interrogation, they registered my information and told me that I could receive some money when I return to improve my life."

"So that's how it is." Jules was about to say something when suddenly a police officer came quickly from a distance and shouted:
"Miss, could you please come back? The recorder accidentally burned half a page of the transcript while smoking. He needs to re-record it. He's willing to compensate you with a sandwich..."

Hearing this, both of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, I'll come right away."

Looking at Elizabeth's departing back, Jules sighed.

Could it be that the other party is hiding such a big secret?

"After returning, I must find out what 'Tian Nie' actually means..."

He only knew what Tian Nie was, but knew nothing else.

There is also no detailed description of the "King's Skin Door" that can be opened by the Skinning Key, and he needs to verify it personally.

Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his heart, causing the corner of his eye to twitch.

"Before that, I need to treat my heart disease first..."

……

Port of London.

Lutos moved a stool and found a corner seat in the harbor, where he sat down casually, his eyes fixed on the distant sea level, and began to daydream.

Because he had a scar on his face that was even more terrifying than the one before, most people avoided him, and he was happy to be alone.

I don't know how long I stared at him, but suddenly a young female voice rang out:

"Uncle Lutos, hasn't he come back yet?"

Lutos turned his head and saw Lolita staring at him.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and said:

"I told you I'd tell you when he comes back! Besides, didn't I tell you not to go out? It might be dangerous outside! Where's Uncle Holmes? Did you sneak out?"

Lolita blinked innocently and was about to answer when Holmes' helpless voice sounded from behind her:
"As soon as I saw you were gone, I knew you ran this way."

Rutos stared at Holmes and smiled.
"I didn't expect that our famous detective would find it difficult to take care of children."

Holmes smiled and shook his head.

"It's not like..."

After a few casual words, Holmes said goodbye:

"I left first to prevent the Wellington family from resorting to further despicable tactics."

Lutos nodded: "Go ahead... Wait!"

His eyes widened and he said:
"Look, there's a boat coming. Judging from its direction, it's probably coming back from the Big Rock Islands!" "Where?"

Lolita excitedly leaned over to the railing on the shore and looked at the steamer approaching in the distance.

At this moment, the creation of iron and fire is breaking through the sea surface, roaring with a string of coal smoke, and drawing a trajectory belonging to mankind in the sky.

"Woo-"

Two short blasts of the whistle pierced the harbor fog, signaling the cablemen to take their positions.

"Get down the gangway!"

Through the hazy sea fog that filled the harbor, Lolita stared nervously at the passengers coming down the gangway.

"No, no, why is it not..."

Her expression gradually became somewhat disappointed.

After almost all the passengers on the gangway had left, she couldn't help but turn her head and said with a sad face:

"Uncle Yule, why haven't you come back yet..."

Holmes shook his head and said softly:
"You can see who's that guy getting ready to go down the gangway."

Lolita turned around and stared at the man blankly.

Although he was wearing completely new clothes compared to when he set out, looked much more haggard, and was being supported by someone, she recognized him at a glance.

This is Jules!
Lolita ran over and merged into the crowd.

Seeing this, Holmes and Lutos hurried to follow.

"My dear, be careful and don't fall!" Lutos couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lolita walked through the crowd and saw Jules coming towards her. She rushed over excitedly and shouted:
"Uncle Jules!"

At this moment, Jules was listening carefully to the police officer beside him relaying Centipede's arrangements.

"Next, let's go to San Janaro Hospital. Your Excellency knows an excellent doctor there. Let him diagnose you..."

Suddenly, he heard Lolita's excited voice penetrate his eardrums.

Jules was stunned for a moment, then turned around immediately, only to find that Lolita had run to the front of the crowd and was rushing towards him with a look of excitement on her face.

"Stop!"

The accompanying police officer raised his gun, but was stopped by Jules who raised his hand gently.

"Why are you here?" He frowned slightly.

Lolita threw herself into Jules' arms and muttered:
"Do you miss your uncle..."

Although the force of her impact on his chest was very light, the pain caused Yule to turn pale.

Lolita naturally noticed this anomaly and said worriedly:

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"...It's just a minor injury." Yule didn't want to worry Lolita, so he said gently:

"Where's Uncle Holmes?"

Holmes' helpless voice came from behind Lolita:

"I'm sorry, I didn't keep an eye on her."

Hearing Holmes' voice, Lolita stepped back awkwardly.

Yule looked at Holmes and Lutos who had just appeared and said with a smile:
"As long as they are all safe."

Lutos looked Jules up and down, his brows furrowed.
"It seems that some unpleasant changes have occurred in you?"

As a transcendent being of the Casting Standard, he could slightly sense the "changes" taking place in Jules. This was the authority of the Casting.

Yule forced a smile and said:
"I'm a little injured. I'll come back to see you when I'm healed."

"……I see."

Lutos nodded, took out a business card and handed it over.

"Their address has temporarily changed." He whispered.

Jules understood what he meant, took the business card, and limped out of the port with the help of the police officer.

……

Not long after, the public carriage stopped in front of an unremarkable hospital and then drove away in a cloud of dust.

"Sir, this is it."

Jules looked up at the hospital plaque.

On the plaque, "San Jana" was obviously wiped frequently and carefully - but the subsequent "Hospital" was a bit dull and obviously not wiped with much care.

At this time, an old man in a white coat and a white beard walked slowly through the hospital lobby, but stopped when he glanced at Jules.

His expression quickly became serious, and there was a hint of surprise in it.

When the police saw him, they immediately said to Le:
"This is the doctor that the adults mentioned. He once..."

The old man suddenly spoke, interrupting the police officer's introduction:

"How did you survive, patient?"
