Chapter 222 Destined Destiny
Linley was sure, and stepped into the living room.

"Duke Paderson, this matter seems very important." Linley looked at Paderson with a smile.

Paderson nodded and said: "That's natural, and I have already arranged a substitute, in the eyes of others, I have already returned to the Duke's mansion.

Apart from Bernard and my butler, I'm afraid you are the only one who knows I'm here. "

"substitute?"

"Duke Paderson, what are you doing to see me so secretly?"

lei asked with great interest.

Duke Paderson looked around and immediately closed the door of the living room.

"Come on, let's talk inside."

Duke Paderson pulled Linley and walked towards the inner room of the living room. After entering the inner room, Paderson turned on the mechanism.

Only the sound of 'quack' rock movement was heard, and a stone gate appeared.

There is also a closed secret room inside this small building.

"Linley, come in." Paderson smiled at Linley.

Linley nodded and stepped into it.

--------

The secret room was dark, and Paterson lit three candles before looking at Linley with a smile.

"No way, whether it's my Duke's mansion or your mansion, other people's eyeliner is too much, it's not safe." Paderson said with a long sigh of relief.

Linley also knew that his mansion had been under the watchful eyes of the Holy See and Clyde's troops.

Because the mansion was arranged by Clyde, and the servants were also sent by Clyde.

It's normal that there will be Clyde's eyeliner in it.

And those guards came from the Holy See of Light.

In fact, most of Linley's actions in the mansion have been exposed to the eyes of two parties.

"Duke Paderson, what we are going to talk about today seems to be very important. Tell me, what is it?" Linley said with a smile.

Paderson took out a magic crystal card from his pocket: "Lei, this card contains 1000 million gold coins."

"1000 million gold coins?" Linley waited for Paderson to explain.

Paderson said helplessly, "Lei, let me tell you the truth.

After my elder brother asked me to take the post of "Minister of Finance" of the Kingdom of Finlay, I used the power in my hand to keep seeking money for myself.

All the while, what I did was perfect.

But this time, the smuggling I did with another family was too big.

Based on my investigation, my elder brother... may have noticed it. "

Paderson was still very trustworthy and did not leak the Debs family.

"The scale of smuggling is too large? But what does this have to do with me?" Linley looked at Paderson with a smile.

Paderson quickly said: "Of course it is related. Although I and Clyde are brothers, I know very well that he will never show mercy when he strikes. I must find a way out for myself.

After all, over the years, I have done too many things. This matter was found out, and many things in the past will be found out. "

"So, I want you to help me talk to Master Yale from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.

I know, you and Yale are good brothers. "Paderson forced a smile.

"Yale?" Linley understood what the other party meant.

Paderson said helplessly: "Once something happens in the future, there are not many forces on the entire continent who can rescue me from the capital of Finlay City.

And the Dawson Chamber of Commerce is definitely one of them.

The Kingdom of Finlay still dare not mess with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce!

And the Holy See of Light will never deal with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce just because of a corruption case. "

"As long as the Dawson Chamber of Commerce intervenes, I can be rescued very easily.

However, I have contacted the people from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and they are unwilling to annoy Clyde for me. Paderson looked at Linley expectantly.

"Linley, Yale is the son of the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, his words are very useful.

And the Dawson Chamber of Commerce also values ​​you very much, as long as you tell me, it will be absolutely fine. "

Paderson said eagerly, "If you don't save me, I'm afraid I will die in the future, please, help me, no one will know what you are talking to me."

"As long as you save me, the ten million gold coins will be yours. Linley, please."

Paderson's tone was very sincere, and his eyes were full of expectation!

These words reached Bai Ge's ears verbatim.

It made Bai Ge quite surprised.

This Paderson still went to smuggle.

Unlike the original book, the Debs family has not been suppressed by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce because of Alice, because Linley doesn't know Alice at all.

But the Debs family, somehow wrong, still cooperated with the Duke of Paderson to smuggle the water jade mine and make huge profits.

So, everything went back to the track of the original plot.

How could Linley hold back when the enemy came to his door?

It directly broke Paderson's neck.

Today, Linley's human form is level nine, and he understands the laws of the wind system. To kill a level seven Padson is no more difficult than killing a chicken.

After killing Paterson, Linley sprinkled some corpse powder to destroy the corpse.

As for where did this corpse powder come from?

Needless to say, it was naturally presented by Baige and refined by Tang San.

"Lord Linley, go slowly." The butler at the gate of the Debs family's mansion said respectfully to Linley.

Linley nodded, then bid farewell to Count Juno, and got into his carriage.

"Go back." Entering the carriage, Linley ordered calmly.

"Yes, my lord."

The seventh-level fighters of the Holy See of Light bowed to their orders, and immediately drove the carriage towards Linley's residence.

"We spent about 15 minutes with Paderson." Linley took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.

This pocket watch was one of the presents from many guests congratulating Linley after he was made a Marquis.Because he likes the style of this pocket watch, Linley also wears it close to his body.

"15 minutes. Earl Juno and the others are almost the last group of guests to leave. If you don't investigate carefully, no one should suspect me." Linley thought to himself, "There is another question. Paterson said that his housekeeper knew about his wants to see someone, but doesn't know who he's seeing."

Linley frowned: "But I can't believe all of this. Maybe Paderson's housekeeper knew that it was me that Paderson was seeing. And Padson might have said that on purpose to reassure me."

Linley also thought of this possibility.

Paterson's butler!

It is indeed a loophole.

And...if we investigate carefully, others will probably find out, where did Linley go in the last 15 minutes?It was just that the nobles chatted casually and left one after another in a scattered manner.At that time, it may be difficult to find out a certain person in that situation.

"At least no one saw me meeting Padson with their own eyes. The waiter I met had already been killed by Paderson." Linley secretly decided.

Others doubt themselves at most, but they have no evidence to attack themselves.

The first day and the second day of Paderson's disappearance, no one other than Paderson's housekeeper realized that something was amiss.

In the living room of the Debs family, there were only Bernard and a middle-aged man with white hair.

"Bernard, on the night of Kalan's engagement, did the Duke leave you?" the middle-aged man with green hair asked.This white-haired middle-aged man is 'Lodi', the housekeeper of the Duke of Paderson's mansion.

Bernard felt aggrieved.

Your Duke is gone, you ask me?

Bernard knew that Duke Paterson didn't even tell him who he saw that night, and he didn't say anything when he left.How could he, Bernard, know?
"My lord duke has left, and there is no lord duke in my mansion." Bernard replied directly.

On the second day of the engagement ceremony, Bernard sent someone to dispose of the waiter's body, and his men did not find any trace of Duke Paderson in the small building.

"Oh." Lodi frowned, and then looked at Bernard, "Bernard, if you find any traces of my lord, you must tell me. The smuggling of your Debs family has also been exposed."

Bernard couldn't help but change his expression.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Lodi left with a heavy heart.

Seeing the back of Lodi leaving, Bernard felt a little uneasy, and immediately decided to go to the small building that Paderson had been to.

In the secret small building of the Debs family mansion.

Bernard walked into it alone. The body of the waiter who died at the door of the living room of the small building had already been cleaned up by someone sent by Bernard. Bernard looked at the small building and frowned: "Paderson The Duke said he wanted to see a guest here, but he didn't go back later. Could it be..."

Bernard thought of a possibility.

Few people in the Debs family knew about the secret room in this small building.Naturally, the subordinates who cleaned up the corpses would not know about it, nor would they go in to investigate.

As for this secret room, Bernard told Duke Paderson, and he also told Duke Paderson that no one could eavesdrop on discussing things in the secret room.

"Impossible, that kind of thing can't happen." Bernard quickly walked into the living room, then immediately walked to the mechanism of the secret room, and opened the mechanism.

"Quack~~"

The 'shimen' that looked like a wall opened slowly again.

However, the secret room was empty and there was nothing.

Bernard was dumbfounded.

……

The entire city of Finlay was still peaceful, and Linley was still practicing quietly in his mansion, but when Duke Paderson disappeared for half a month, His Majesty King Clyde, who had been in silence all this time, finally issued an order.First, they directly arrested 'Lodi', the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, and then conducted a thorough investigation on the matter on a large scale.

In the living room of Linley's mansion.

"Lord Linley, Your Majesty has ordered that Lord Linley go to the palace."

Looking at the order brought by the court servant in front of him, Linley was a little confused. What exactly did His Majesty Clyde call him to do?
"Please wait a moment. I'll change my clothes and go to the palace right away." Linley replied with a smile.

The night was black as ink.

The sound of the carriage sounded in the quiet street outside the palace. Linley was sitting alone in the carriage, and Beibei was lying on his lap.

Beside the carriage are more than a dozen knights on horses, headed by the court attendant who sent the order.

Inside the carriage.

Linley frowned: "Now, it's very late, but Clyde called me over suddenly, what is he going to do?" The so-called no ghosts in his heart, he was naturally open-minded.

But now, Linley killed Paterson.

But lei did not care.

Under Bai Ge's guidance, Linley not only understood the mysteries of "fast" and "slow" in the laws of the wind system, but also gradually matched the two.

In addition, Baige often used the forbidden spell "Blade of Dimension" to demonstrate for Linley. In terms of realm comprehension, Linley was not weaker than the peak of the sanctuary.

Once transforming, stepping into the sanctuary, looking at the entire Yulan Continent, few people can take his sword!
Clyde?Not much more difficult than trampling an ant to death.

If he had to leave, Haitings would not be able to keep himself.

In this regard, Linley is very confident.

At this moment, Linley finally understood why Baige would suppress him and let him practice until he reached the ninth level.

This is the truth of the so-called thick accumulation and thin development, and tall buildings rising from the ground.

Strength is the foundation of everything!

Sanctuary is qualified to speak!

In the dark night, the vast palace is like a giant beast quietly entrenched on the ground.One carriage after another entered the palace in just half an hour.

Among them were the carriages for Linley, the carriages for Bernard, and the carriages for other nobles.

……

In the chamber of the palace.

Except for the two guards at the entrance of the meeting hall, there were eight nobles in Finlay City with relatively high status in the meeting hall.They are the patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard, the court's number one magician, Linley, the left chancellor, Duke Bernard, and the inspector, Hampton...

"Lei, you are here." Duke Bernard greeted warmly.

The several nobles who had already arrived immediately came to say hello. When Linley saw these nobles, he couldn't help but feel certain, it seemed that he was not looking for him alone.

"My lords, I don't know if you know what His Majesty the King is looking for us this time?" Linley immediately asked.

The Duke of Bernard, as the prime minister on the left.There is also a lot of information to know.

"We were summoned this time because of the disappearance of Duke Paderson." Duke Berner replied kindly with a smile.

Bernard next to him immediately asked: "My lord, the Duke of Paderson is missing. Why is he looking for me? I don't hold any important positions in the court?"

"Today, His Majesty is not summoning important ministers, but investigating the matter. Otherwise, why am I here? Why didn't the right minister come, and why did only one inspector come?" Duke Berner could see clearly.

Bernard nodded.

It's just that Bernard still has some doubts in his heart.

Ever since Padson disappeared, Bernard has been worried in his heart, worried that their Debs family and Padson's smuggling of water jade ore would be leaked. If this matter is leaked, the Debs family is really finished. .

"Your Majesty, to—"

Suddenly the high-pitched voice of the court attendant sounded, this matter came from the side door of the meeting hall, followed respectfully by two court attendants, Clyde went directly to the seat and sat down.

"Meet Your Majesty."

The eight nobles on the field bowed and shouted at the same time.

Clyde glanced at the eight nobles in front of him, and nodded calmly: "It's almost late at night, I didn't want to disturb you, but the disappearance of my second brother, Duke Paderson, is too important. I have to invite you Gather here."

"The Duke of Paderson is missing. I wonder why His Majesty summoned us?" Linley asked directly.

Among the eight people below, perhaps only Linley dared to talk to Clyde like that.Because others were looking at Clyde's face, but Linley actually belonged to the Holy See of Light and was just a name in the Kingdom of Finlay.

"Linley, I just want to find out the facts." Clyde smiled slightly, and then said loudly, "Bring Lodi, the butler of the Duke's mansion."

Lodi?The butler of the duke's mansion?
