Chapter 509 Edward's Acceptance of the Commission: Settling Sister Lou

Upon hearing Edward's statement, Li Yuan nodded with interest.

After all, Edward wouldn't bring up ordinary cases.

There must be something special about this case that made him look like that.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan looked at Edward and said with a light laugh:

"Tell me, Edward, what kind of case is it?"

Edward smiled mysteriously upon hearing this and whispered to Li Yuan:

"Li Yuan, have you ever seen a mirror that can kill people?"

The moment he heard the question, Li Yuan lost most of his interest.

He shook his head in disappointment and whispered to Edward:

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is just another ordinary case of a vengeful spirit harming people."

Edward, there's nothing special about this.

Furthermore, the vengeful spirits that need to rely on a fixed object are not too powerful.

At this point, Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at Edward and teased him with a smile:

"I estimate it's a simple matter to handle, so please don't charge too much."

However, Edward simply smiled slightly, as if he had already anticipated Li Yuan's reaction.

"What if I told you that the mirror has been there for 400 years?"

Moreover, according to the client, that mirror claimed at least 45 lives.

At this moment, Devin suddenly interjected:

"45 people killed in 400 years, that doesn't seem like much."

As he spoke, Devin pursed his lips, looking somewhat dismissive.

However, what Devon didn't expect was...

His words surprisingly provoked dissatisfaction among others in the firm.

The newly joined Lu frowned and said somewhat displeasedly:

"Mr. Devin, a vengeful spirit that can kill 45 people is already very troublesome."

Jamie, sitting next to Edward, looked at Devin with a sarcastic expression and teased him:

"Compared to you capitalists, the number of vengeful spirits killed is indeed not many."

Even Ades, who was standing to the side, looked at Devon with a strange expression.

Seeing this, Devon's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew he had just spoken out of turn.

Li Yuan noticed that the atmosphere inside the firm was somewhat subtle.

He quickly raised his hand to stop the crowd from verbally attacking Devon.

"Alright, let's get back to the case. That's not what Devin meant."

As he spoke, Li Yuan glanced at the restless Diwen and warned him:

"Be careful what you say and do, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."

Devin glanced gratefully at Li Yuan, wiped the sweat from his brow, and quickly replied:

"Yes, Your Grace, Devin will be more careful in the future."

Li Yuan nodded and ignored him, then turned to Edward and asked curiously:

"If I'm not mistaken, the frequency of mirror-related murders is increasing year by year, right?"

"That's right. According to the client's investigation, the mirror only killed seven people in the first 200 years, and they were all the mirror's owners."

At this point, Edward paused, his eyes narrowing:

"And the rest all died in the last 200 years."

Furthermore, the death toll is rising.

It even extended beyond the area where the house was located.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan stroked his chin and nodded slightly.

He murmured to himself, "That's interesting."

He looked up at Edward and asked:

"When does the client want you to go? And where is the designated location?"

"Let's set off tomorrow."

Because the client's younger brother had already returned to the old house ahead of time.

She was worried about her younger brother's safety, and as for the address...

Edward picked up the folder on the table, frowned, and read aloud:

"Red Rock Valley in Abique, northern New Mexico."

"it is good."

Li Yuan nodded, then stood up and instructed Edward:

Remember to call me when you leave tomorrow.

Lu and I will go with you; it'll be a good opportunity for Lu to familiarize himself with the exorcism process.

Upon hearing this, Edward also stood up and said to Li Yuan with a smile:

"No problem, I'll book the tickets right away."

At this moment, Devin quickly raised his hand to signal:

"Sir, there's no need to book plane tickets. Just take my private jet!"

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, directly refusing Divin's help:

"Forget about private jets; this commission probably won't even cover the fuel costs."

Seeing that Devin wanted to say something more, Li Yuan quickly raised his hand to interrupt him:

"Alright, I'll leave the plane tickets to you. Is that alright?"

Hearing that the matter of the plane tickets had been entrusted to him, Devin nodded happily.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. Devin guarantees everything will be perfectly arranged!"

Li Yuan smiled helplessly and shook his head, then said to Edward and the others:

"That's settled then. We'll set off together tomorrow. I'll take Lu to his lodgings now."

After saying goodbye to Edward and his group,

Li Yuan took Diwen and Lu to the apartment that Diwen had already rented nearby.

After helping Lu settle everything,

Li Yuan and Devin found out Penelope's room number.

The intention is to go and complete the servant conversion ritual that was not completed before.

Li Yuan also wanted to see what would happen once the number of attendants reached 20.

Will the servants' abilities and skills undergo any changes or improvements?

When Li Yuan knocked on Penelope's door,

Soon, a woman's voice came from behind the door asking:

"Who is it?"

Li Yuan was startled by the voice, realizing it wasn't Penelope's.

He instinctively took a step back, glanced up at the house number, and

After confirming there was no mistake, he replied with a hint of doubt:

"This is Li Yuan. Is Penelope there?"

The person inside didn't respond, but instead clicked open the doorknob and slowly pulled the door open.

Li Yuan was stunned when he saw the person behind the door.

The person inside turned out to be Jessie, who had previously rented a room in Sweet Home.

Li Yuan asked, somewhat surprised:

"Jesse? What are you doing here?"

At that moment, Penelope, wrapped in a bath towel, came out.

When she saw that it was Li Yuan, she happily jumped into his arms.

"Oh my god, Li Yuan, you're finally back!"

Li Yuan patted Penelope's bottom and said with a smile:

"It's not that exaggerated. I was only away for a day."

Penelope giggled, about to speak, when she heard Jesse whisper beside her:

"Penelope, I'll head back now. I'll come see you another day."

Then, Jessie nodded slightly to Li Yuan:

"Also, thank you, Mr. Li Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was about to say a few polite words.

Then I saw Jessie with her head down, walking away quickly.

Penelope chuckled softly upon seeing this.

Then, his eyes darted around, and he whispered in Li Yuan's ear:

"She's a clean-cut girl, do you want her?"

Li Yuan turned his gaze away from Jessie's departing figure.

He looked at Penelope in his arms and said with a smile:

"I'm keeping you here, not so you can pimp for me."

Starting tomorrow, you're going to have to get back to work!

"Yes, sir!"

Penelope chuckled mischievously, then her body slid down slowly like a water snake.

Seeing this, Li Yuan tensed up and quickly whispered:

"Hey! Wait a minute, let's go inside and talk about it!"
