Should I raise you too?

At the gate of the house, watching Simon get into Mabel's carriage, and seeing Mabel happily board the carriage, Elisa felt a little flustered.

You'll come back, won't you?

You certainly won't stay at the Baron's Manor!

After watching the carriage leave the manor, Elisa hurried back to her bedroom, opened the "Sel Daily" and the "Simon's Log".

Simon drove along in the sunshine after the rain, feeling relaxed and happy.

Good, keep it up! Focus on catching your train, don't do anything else!

Miss Mabel rolled down the front window and spoke with Simon; they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation.

I just complimented you! This is only the second line!

Simon's affection for Miss Mabel has increased.

Lower it!

Simon and Miss Eleanor chatted about things at the manor, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

How come you've hooked up with Eleanor again!

Letting you out was definitely a mistake!

And you used to flirt with other women and even increase my intimacy level with them! Why isn't there any this time?! Have you become completely used to cheating?! Doesn't your conscience hurt anymore?!

Elisa glared fiercely at the light screen.

Simon made a humorous remark, and Mabel chuckled, her red earring gleaming beneath her hair. Eleanor also smiled, turning her head to the side, her black hair brushing against her white earlobe.

You bastard! What did you do for a living before?! How come you're so good at seducing women?!

Elisa turned off the light screen, put down the newspaper, and had Eve bring her tea and snacks, using the desserts to soothe her heart.

While enjoying her snack, she thought about Eleanor.

Miss Eleanor's family may hold a higher position in the military than I realize.

Last night's tragedy at the police station clearly involved superhumans. The military investigator, Caroline, must be a specialist in occult matters, and may even be a superhuman herself.

Unfortunately, in order not to expose myself, I cannot use techniques to investigate.

It was likely Ms. Caroline, a superhuman, who became Eleanor's coachman. This already demonstrated the power of the Eleanor family.

Elisa then remembered something else.

Ms. Caroline's questions did not touch upon the mystical, nor did Eleanor remind me of it.

Eleanor probably thought it was just a regular murder case and didn't know it involved the occult.

Ah, the most distinctive feature of the occult is its mystery. Even the relatives of extraordinary individuals may not know anything about the occult. To know is to observe, and to observe the mysterious brings not only blessings but also curses.

Ordinary small rituals are fine, but rituals with slightly stronger effects carry the risk of going out of control, such as turning into a monster or being possessed by an evil spirit.

Therefore, in the realm of the extraordinary, and even in those demigod families, mysticism is a family secret, known only to core members.

Parents usually take special care to prevent their pampered daughters from knowing or being exposed to the occult, at least not during their "young lady" stage, to prevent them from causing trouble.

The same should apply to Eleanor and Mabel.

Eleanor's family likely has members who are superhumans affiliated with the military, and these members are often of a high caliber.

The Mabel family may not have any superhumans, but Baron Percy certainly knows about them; he's a member of Congress. His wealth is enough to command superhumans below the demigod level at will.

Elisa put down her black tea, feeling pleased.

Today, I not only gained a full understanding of the Mabel family's wealth, but also learned about the Eleanor family's affairs.

The Eleanor family is more useful than the Percy family in the business world, and the military can provide tremendous assistance to my path of revenge.

We should pay more attention to Miss Eleanor in the future and try to build a good relationship with her.

What does Miss Eleanor like?

The valet previously remarked that Miss Eleanor looked at others as if they were curly-haired baboons… Should I play the curly-haired baboon?

Yes, such arrogant people are usually fixated on their superiority over others and are easily seduced by mysticism.

Should we use mysticism to lure her in? Once the extraordinary item that can disguise one's identity arrives, we can take her and the male servant as students.

Let's get to know each other better and learn more about each other.

After finishing compiling the plan, Elisa continued to look at the light screen.

"...Simon arrived at Miss Mabel's estate. The two ladies alighted from the carriage together, and Miss Mabel invited him to stay and rest, saying that the coachman would take him home later."

Rest my ass! Get back here right now!

Simon politely declined Miss Mabel's offer and left the Baron's estate on foot.

Well done! I'm very impressed with you!

Elisa took a sip of black tea, knowing that the male servant was going to slack off again, but slacking off was better than lingering at Mabel's place.

Simon was strolling around town when he looked at the prices of blue diamond earrings in a jewelry store. He estimated that the earrings he had found were worth over 400 pounds. He sighed, "These earrings really are Eleanor's."

£400!

The earring you picked up casually yielded more rewards than I earned from a single adventure mission!

Elisa felt that the black tea in her hand was very bitter.

Wait, something seems off.

Elisa turned to look at the light screen and blinked.

Is that blue diamond earring Eleanor's?

How did Eleanor's earrings end up in my manor, and both of them are missing?

It's not surprising that it was picked up by the male servant; male servants like to use "object-finding rituals."

Elisa scrolled up and quickly found a clue: when the servant was making Mabel and Eleanor laugh, he mentioned Mabel's red earring and Eleanor's white earlobes.

I thought the male servant was being lecherous, but it turns out he was checking whose ears were missing earrings!

Regardless of how Eleanor lost her earring, we need to buy it back from the manservant and return it to Eleanor. This is a great opportunity to increase Eleanor's favorability!

Elisa pondered how to retrieve the earring and continued watching the light screen.

Simon sighed again. "Eleanor really does know the occult; she deliberately dropped the earring."

"!!!"

Where did you get that 'sure thing' from?!

Eleanor knows about the occult? Then why didn't she warn me that something was strange about the police station? If my friend were involved in a murder case involving a superhuman, I would definitely warn her!

Elisa thought about it for a long time and came up with a possibility.

Perhaps Ms. Caroline didn't tell Eleanor? Because Eleanor wasn't a public figure of the occult, but only had private contact with it.

Did some bastard beat me to it and take Eleanor as his student?

Damn it! This was clearly the strategy I came up with!

After her initial anger subsided, Elisa felt somewhat relieved that she had known about this beforehand. Otherwise, it would have been extremely awkward if she had tried to seduce Eleanor with mysticism only to discover that Eleanor had already been exposed to it.

I wonder what level Eleanor has mastered in her mysticism, and whether she has become a superhuman.

She thought again, no wonder the "Simon Journal" said that Eleanor felt she had the right to look down on others; those who master the mysticism always become arrogant.

Speaking of which, why did Eleanor deliberately drop the earring? And why did she drop it in two separate instances... a "retrieval ritual"?

Eleanor said she was going to wander around alone; was she planning to use a "lost and found ritual" to look for lost items in my manor?

How come you all know this trick! It makes me look stupid!

Fortunately, the servants had already collected all the valuables in the manor. Is that why the servants thought Eleanor had left the earrings behind? Yes, that's also why Eleanor left the earrings behind.

I received a lot of important information today.

Elisa took a sip of her red tea and continued reading "Simon's Diary".

Simon took a public carriage and was prepared to claim reimbursement for the cost of hiring one.

You stole my funds again!

Chapter 30 We have a pure mother-son relationship

Over the next month, Elisa met with Mabel three more times, one of which included Eleanor, at Mabel's manor.

Elisa returned the blue diamond earrings to Eleanor, but the fact that the manservant had voluntarily handed them over made Elisa even more unsure about his character.

How can this guy embezzle funds while simultaneously returning lost money?

Eleanor was somewhat surprised to receive the blue diamond earring. She pulled Elisa aside and pressed her for details about finding the earring, wanting to explore its secrets.

Elisa, a seasoned superhuman and master of mysticism, gave Eleanor a flawless excuse.

There was no follow-up to the incident at the police station; Ms. Caroline did not return, and the superhuman did not attack the manor.

"What peaceful days."

When Elisa woke up in the morning, she stretched and sighed.
