Chapter 80: Hospitality
"Stop!" Dale Duncans said with a dark face.
Dana stopped and stared with wide pale blue eyes.
Dale Duncans took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his emotions, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Dina, I know you like that kid Karl very much, but he really can't guarantee your happiness." "His father
is He has the title of earl, father." Dana said, "And his father only has one child, and he will eventually inherit the earl. As a countess, can't I guarantee happiness?" "Earl? Countess
? Dale Duncans said with a bit of disdain in his eyes, "Forget about the earl, what about the marquis? Have you ever heard of the family at No. 12 Bauhinia Street? Their most precious daughter was married to the south. She became a marquise, but didn’t she run back in despair some time ago? Besides
, although Karl’s father had the title of earl, he was just an honorary earl without a territory. He made a living by cultivating relationships with people in the palace. If your eyes are brighter, you can see that the inside of his home is not as beautiful as it looks on the outside.
In addition, even if he is a powerful earl with a fiefdom, Karl's body is weaker than yours. He can't scare his subordinates at all, let alone You talk about commanding an army. Sooner or later, you will end up being oppressed and annexed." "
What, father, what you mean is that I have to marry a man whose neck is thicker than his thighs and who is extremely rude for the rest of my life. Does security make you happy?" Dana argued with complete disapproval.
"Of course I didn't mean that..." Dale Duncans shook his head, lowered his voice, and said softly, as if talking to himself, "It's just that in this world, there is a force that is more powerful than power and force. "That's the real guarantee..."
"Father, what are you talking about?" Dana asked inaudibly.
"Huh -"
Dale Duncans took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, waved his hand and said to Dana: "I mean, you are not allowed to meet that Karl again in the future. If you dare not Be obedient and I'll let someone teach him a lesson. You know I have the ability."
"Hmph." Dana made a nasal sound and continued walking outside, "Whatever you want, you teach him a lesson, it's none of my business. But let me make it clear to you. I was not looking for him when I went out at night. I was looking for your good friend Hina, the daughter of a scholar from Suge University. She was kidnapped two days ago. I heard that she was kidnapped. She was rescued by a mysterious figure and the other party. Although she was rescued, she was still very scared. I want to comfort her and listen to her detailed experience..." Dana's voice
suddenly The person slowly moves away and finally disappears.
Looking at the direction Dana left, Dale Duncans stared for a long time, finally withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, walked to the wall and pulled a rope tied with a red ribbon.
"Dingle bell..."
The rope was connected to a bell in the far room, and it rang rapidly.
After a while, a butler who looked older than Dale Duncans and had almost white hair hurriedly walked in the door, bowed and asked: "Sir, you called me?" "The daughter of a scholar from Scotland University
. , was kidnapped and rescued recently, do you know about this?" "
Yes sir. I heard that it was the notorious Black Spider Thieves Group who did it, but for some unknown reason, all the members of the thieves group were killed. In the sewers of Third Street, Miss Henna took the opportunity to escape. Officials are investigating the matter, but there seems to be no progress." "
Send some of our people out. If there is any news, tell me in time."
"Yes."
"In addition, Dana went to visit Scholar Su Ge and sent two people to follow her without showing up. But if...she didn't go to Scholar Su Ge, just bring her back directly." "Yes
. ."
"Furthermore..." Dale Duncans thought slowly and said, "Mr. Li He, whom I invited to dinner just now, sent a few people to investigate his background." "Isn't he a guest?
" The butler asked in surprise, looking up at Dale Duncans.
"It is indeed a guest." Dale Duncans did not deny it. "However, he is not from the Lensa noble circle. His identity is unknown and he has never been in contact with us before. Now he comes to us directly with the first-generation Duncans Ring. It's better to be cautious here. When investigating, try to be as secretive as possible, and don't let the other party find out, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding." "Understood." The old housekeeper nodded, "If it doesn't work, I can go and do it myself
. Mr. , Although my bones are a bit old, the foundation left by the blood knight has not been lost." "
That's not necessary." Dale Duncans waved his hand, "Although I am also old, I can still feel, The other party doesn't have that kind of power. So let those young guys go, that's enough." "
Okay."
The old housekeeper turned and left.
Dale Duncans turned the emerald ring on his left index finger, wondering what he was thinking about. After thinking for a long time, I went upstairs.
...
Under the cover of night.
After Li He left Dale Duncans' residence, he did not rush back to his dormitory in the university, but took a stroll on the university campus.
While observing the internal environment of the university, I thought about how to start the investigation.
As he was walking, a black mist appeared next to him, and the voice of the devil Alex floated out of the mist: "Master, it seems that someone is following you." "Well, it's been a while."
Li He nodded and said, "It depends on the situation. , should be sent by Principal Dell."
"Didn't he treat you as a distinguished guest?"
"A distinguished guest is also a guest, not one of our own. You must get to know him." "
Then shall I go and 'receive' you?"
"Go. Well, don't be too heavy-handed, just let them sleep for a while. After all, I may have to stay on this campus for a while, so don't make it too ugly." "Understood."
Alex said, the black mist As the sound drifted into the surrounding night, it disappeared.
After a while, a faint scream came from behind Li He.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
...
In a blink of an eye, the next day.
Early morning in the dining room of Dale Duncan's residence.
Dale Duncans had finished his simple breakfast and was drinking hot tea when the old butler Balin walked in, his brows furrowed as if he was worried about something.
"How are you, Bahrain?" Dale Duncans noticed the other party's appearance and asked, "Is there any problem?" "
Sir, yesterday I sent three young men to investigate Mr. Li He, but..."
paused After a pause, Bahrain said solemnly: "But so far, no one has come back."
