Just like Leosley said before, if there is no progress until the eleventh attempt, then returning empty-handed the first ten times is definitely a necessary accumulation, and this trip to Erinas is no exception.

What's more...it's not like getting nothing.

It took about half a day to return to Merlot Petersburg. By the time we stood in the management area, it was already time to rest.

The concession canteen is also serving the last customers...yes, they are Yu Shui and Leosli.

"Eat slowly. Eat slowly. I won't compete with you. If you choke, I'll give you Xigwen's nutritious milkshake."

"Cough cough!"

As soon as he heard Leosley talking about the nutritious milkshake, Yu Shui almost choked, put down the bowl in his hand and patted his chest to breathe.

There was some complaint in his tone.

"Duke, can you please stop being scary? I really don't want to try the taste of that milkshake a second time...it smells like desolation."

"Haha~ Well, let's take this opportunity to review what happened today? This time we call it a secret investigation, but in fact we are wiping out the strongholds of the remnants of the party..."

"Wrong, I took advantage of the crackdown to test your poor and innocent assistant. And I'm afraid your assistant hasn't been cleared of suspicion yet."

Yu Shui interrupted and corrected Leosley's words, which made him startled and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't say it so bluntly. At least now we can confirm that the last stronghold that was massacred was definitely the hand of the big thief You Lin... According to the autopsy report given by Zhuyingting, the time of death was no more than two hours."

That is, shortly before Leosley and the others arrived.

During this period, Yu Shui's whereabouts have never been determined.

I have to say that Leosli's plan this time was indeed brilliant. If Yu Shui had not discovered their traces at that time and went straight to the second stronghold, he would have really been besieged, right?

The warden is really... ruthless.

"When you were in Erinas before, you said...you once entered that stronghold by mistake and saw corpses all over the ground?"

"Yeah...what, are you going to start interrogating me? At least wait until I finish this meal..."

"Are you scared?"

"Hey?"

Ask yourself if you are scared, is this caring about yourself?

The corners of Yu Shui's mouth slightly raised for a moment.

"I was so scared~ My little heart was so scared that I almost had a heart attack and became one of those corpses. I'm still a little scared when I think back now... If you don't believe me, can you touch my heartbeat?"

He grabbed Leosley's wrist with a clear purpose and put his palm on his chest. Leosley didn't expect it because it happened so fast.

It wasn't until he heard Yu Shui's laughter that he realized that this guy did it on purpose.

"You really are..."

"So what? Your Majesty the Duke is shy?"

Fortunately, it was already late, so no one saw this scene, otherwise it would have been a huge impact!

"…Stature management is not bad."

"Not as good as your Lord Duke... Hiccup, I'm full. Let's go back and rest... I'm so sleepy."

"Well, go to bed after eating. Your life is really healthy."

As the saying goes, lying down after a meal can make you live 18,000 years.

As soon as he returned to the Duke's office, Yu Shui went back to his room without even drinking a cup of tea. When he entered the door, he turned around and gave Leosley a wink.

"See you tomorrow."

Clang.

The air fell silent.

Leosley stared at Yu Shui's closed door for a while...until he heard the sound of Yu Shui playing the violin from the crack in the door.

"Ha...well, see you tomorrow."

……

Those remnants of Vashe who had been imprisoned in Merlot Petersburg died in their cells. On the surface, it seemed to be just a simple prison bullying incident that did not cause any disturbance.

Among the dead was Rios, who had been a member of the Rose Thorn Society.

This incident did not alarm Leosley at first. He only learned about it from the news channels in the prison a few days after it happened.

"Huh? Are the remnants dead? What's going on?"

"Mr. Duke?!"

News in Merlo Petersburg Tunkustu was bragging to his friends about the news he had recently learned, but suddenly he heard Leosli making a voice behind him, and he almost lost his soul.

"Don't be afraid, keep talking, what did you find out?"

"Uh... It is said that some guards or higher-ups in the prison wanted them to die, so those who killed them were only put under supervision without further punishment."

"Is it…"

This matter is not a small one, but no one came to report it... interesting.

However, not long after, all the prisoners and guards related to the death of the Vashe remnants disappeared silently into Merlot Petersburg, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

This brought Leosley's investigation to an end before it even began.

This incident happened four days after he and Yu Shui returned to Merlot Petersburg. Everything was running smoothly as before, except for the atmosphere of panic due to this incident.

Actually causing trouble on his territory...

When he returned to the office this evening, he still saw Yu Shui practicing calligraphy seriously at his desk. Although his handwriting was still a bit ugly, it was much better than usual.

"Ayu, today's financial form..."

"It has been arranged and placed on your desk. Well...do you look a little irritable? Your Lord Duke...have you encountered anything disturbing?"

"I suspect that the big thief has sneaked into Merlot Petersburg. Don't tell me that you haven't heard about what happened recently...don't you like to inquire about these things the most?"

"It turns out it's because of this..."

Yu Shui dropped the pen in his hand and handed the copybook he had just drawn to Leosley for a look... This made it difficult for him to comment.

"How do you fail to trace the words well?"

"It's... it's the pen's problem, it's not my business... Ahem, I do know what you're talking about. It's probably the thief's revenge, right? And the other prisoners and guards... maybe they are related to this matter. Kill people and silence them?"

Of course, he knew very well what Yu Shui had done. Those guards and guards were part of the power he had developed in Melo Petersburg during this period.

Well... Now in order to avoid being discovered by his own actions, Yu Shui has sent him to feed the original sea alien species.

He wasn't a good person anyway. Hearing that he needed their help to kill a few people, he was as excited as anything... Well, even though Yu Shui himself was the leader of the villains.

Now that you have this status, do you still need to worry about moral integrity?

"I think the purpose of the big thief You Lin has been achieved, and it should calm down a bit in the future."

"I hope."

Listening to Leosley's response, Yu Shui smiled meaningfully.

Then the next day, the fish belly notice appeared in the pool of Merlo Petersburg Concession Hall, and the black grouper was quite fresh.

[Wuhu~ Yes, it’s me again, Mr. Duke. I’m very sorry that I sent you the notice letter. In fact, it’s not because there is anything here that I want to collect.

The target I want to steal this time is the life of your assistant, Mr. Duke, Mr. Yu Shui.

I will not allow someone who covets you to be by your side.

Just wait for my arrival, Mr. Duke.
