Let's turn back the clock to when Van En first entered the Lu Ting Mystery Case.

New Luding City.

The tragedy of 70 years ago has been buried in the dust with the passing of that generation of survivors.

Only the street names in New Rochtin that are the same as those in Old Rochtin can remind people of what happened here.

But for most of the citizens of Luting today, that tragedy has nothing to do with them, because their ancestors were migrated from elsewhere.

So whenever outsiders ask about what happened back then, they always look impatient and leave with a remark:

"This is Xinluting! If you want to ask, go out from the west gate, walk 50 kilometers north, and ask around by picking up scraps of bone there!"

"What broken bones? Don't you know the importance of respecting the deceased? You better watch your mouth!"

Götze Cavill clenched his fists, immediately wanting to take off his cloak, reveal his identity, and teach this brat a lesson.

Götze felt no remorse for this "bullying" behavior.

He had grown up in Wingmoon City and was used to this way of communicating!

Because of this trick, he has escaped beatings from the families of pretty girls at least 200 times since he was a child.

The reputation of the Kavil family is something that even the most powerful people in Wingmoon City, or the great families that have existed since the pioneering era, would fear.

But Götze remembered those blue eyes that held a smile yet were chilling, which made him abandon the idea of ​​using that move.

Seeing that Götze's momentum had waned, the young man adjusted his gold-trimmed top hat, sneered, and turned to leave.

Götze pressed down on the wide-brimmed, domed hat with silver trim on his head, somewhat regretting not wearing the one with gold trim.

He glared fiercely at the young man and said to his subordinate, who was also dressed in a black cloak:

"Kaz, make a record of this! Get the people at the Deer Court to deal with him later!"

Kaz nodded, squinting at the man's appearance, skillfully and quickly noting down the man's features in his notebook, and whispered:

"You've offended Lord Götze, you're finished."

Götze sneered, flicking his cloak as he said, "Let's go! The sooner we finish this, the sooner we'll get back. This wretched place reeks of poverty!"

Katz glanced around at the surroundings of Deer City and whispered:

"Luting is not bad either! The roads are very clean, and many of the facilities are newer than those in Yongyue City."

"What did you say? This wretched place is nowhere near as good as Yongyue City!"

Götze had sharp ears and fixed his piercing gaze on his subordinate.

No! No!

Kaz was so startled that he immediately stood at attention, and as if by reflex, he wanted to tap his chest in salute.

However, Götze immediately grabbed his arm and said mysteriously:

"We're here on a secret mission, so let's keep a low profile!"

Kaz's expression instantly turned helpless, thinking to himself:

"Isn't this what you wanted—to experience the local customs and culture of Luting?"

But he still cooperated with his hunting leader, nodding solemnly:

"That's right! Let's hurry to the bard's tavern to meet our contact!"

"Yes! That's it! I almost forgot!"

Götze's face lit up with an excited smile. He was about to take a step when he saw a slender beauty with long, flaxen hair walking past him, and his eyes were immediately drawn to her.

He raised an eyebrow, ready to go over and strike up a conversation, but then he heard Katz's cold voice reach his ears:

"Captain Hunter, don't forget what Lady Maria told you before she left."

Götze's face froze instantly, and his shoulders slumped slightly.

He sighed and muttered under his breath:

"That woman really knows how to boss people around! I just got back from doing something important, and now I'm being sent here!"

But Götze's body behaved itself and headed toward the bard's tavern.

Ten minutes later.

Götze and Kaz, two tall, burly men reeking of blood and with bulging waists, walked into the bard's tavern.

The drinkers, who were drinking, boasting, and flirting with the dancers and maids, were immediately drawn to the two of them.

The tavern returned to normal only after the two men sat down in a corner.

But many experienced people have already started whispering among themselves:

"Why are these two hunters dressed like that?"

"Who knows? Maybe she's going crazy!"

"Hahaha! These monsters have such simple minds, thinking they can fool everyone like this."

"Haha, look at that tall guy, he's looking this way with a surprised expression!"

"Who cares! Drink up! This year's newly brewed ale is delicious!"

……

Götze withdrew his gaze, tightened his cloak, and asked Kaz somewhat uncertainly:

"Was our disguise really that bad?"

Kaz raised an eyebrow: "Boss, it doesn't matter. If things go smoothly, we'll be leaving here soon."

He took a sip of the new wine, a satisfied expression on his face.

Götze glanced disdainfully at the wine in front of him and tapped the table impatiently.

Two minutes later, the tavern owner, who had a mustache, approached Götze and whispered:

"My lord, please come with me."

Götze nodded, casually downed the new wine in front of him in one gulp, a satisfied expression on his face, and got up to go to the backyard with Kaz and the tavern owner.

"Rolinsa! It's you!"

Götze stared at the familiar figure before him, his voice trembling as he cried out in surprise.

Lorinsa looked at her 'brother' with a cold gaze and said, "Götze, I didn't expect you to be sent."

Seeing that his "sister" seemed to be in a good mood, Götze chuckled, scratched his head, and said:

"The capable should do more! Lorinsa, let me tell you, when I was dealing with those remnants of William in Eternal Night Valley..."

Seeing his sister's increasingly cold gaze, the usually talkative Götze shrank back and said:

"I'm sorry, we had plans, but you know..."

Lorinsa closed her eyes briefly, shook the necklace on her fair wrist, took out a black cylinder from it, handed it to her "brother," and said:

"This is your task. I need to go back and complete the trial inspection report. Good luck."

Götze took the things, looked at his sister who was about to turn and leave, and said reluctantly:

"Lorene, don't you want to say another word to your brother? I remember when we left home, you said you were going to prepare a birthday present for me!"

"There's no birthday present coming your way! You're overthinking it!"

After saying that, Lorinsa pushed open the back door, got into the white unicorn carriage outside, and left.

Götze watched his 'little sister' walk away, feeling wronged. "She promised a gift! She used to call me 'brother' when we were little, what happened to her now..."

Tap! Tap! Tap! ...

As the sound of hooves grew fainter, Götze suddenly looked up at the spot where his 'sister' had left, his eyes filled with an unreadable expression, and a hint of anger flickered within them.

The murderous aura emanating from the high-ranking hunter made the tavern owner's legs tremble. He asked:

"What's wrong, Lord Götze?"

"It's nothing!"

Götze smiled at the tavern owner and said, "I'm feeling a bit melancholy. I'll have a few more drinks here, but don't tell Rolinsa, okay?"

"Ah! Okay! No problem."

He put his arm around the tavern owner's shoulder, quietly gave Kaz a hand signal, and returned to the bard's tavern.

Katz's expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

"The hunter captain is actually angry! With someone as petty as him, this tavern is doomed!"
