Chapter 153: Maric's Entrustment

what's the situation!

To announce a commission to find me in front of me is not to look for a donkey by riding a donkey...ah, what a messy metaphor this is!

Louise looked carefully at the male member who issued the commission. He was of medium build, and his appearance was completely obscured by the mask. There was an obvious coldness in the tone of his voice just now. I wonder if it was disguised?

Soon, the portrait was passed to Louise from the waiter. She lowered her head and glanced at it. It was extremely familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before...

Nonsense, the person in this portrait is myself, of course I am familiar with it... Louise secretly complained in her heart, and then she handed the portrait back to the waiter as if nothing had happened, and let it be passed to the next party member.

"If we find clues, through which channel should we collect the reward?" she asked aloud.

Louise thought that she could not continue to be passive, because a ridiculous idea suddenly came to her mind: If this continues, one day all the Beyonders in Backlund will know about this commission, and by then she might not even be able to do it.

She couldn't get out... So, she decided to take the initiative and investigate backwards to find out who was looking for her, so as to avoid future troubles.

The tone of the man who issued the commission was still cold, and he replied in a low voice:

"I will issue the same commission in the 'Brave Bar'. If there are clues, you can find the bar owner Caspars to collect the bounty."

Brave Bar... Louise thought about this familiar name in her heart, and she didn't know what came to mind, and she fell silent again.

Naturally, the other participating members could not provide any effective clues, but it is unclear how many people took note of Louise's appearance and were preparing to search for it secretly... However, a reward of one hundred pounds must not be enough to attract too much attention.

There won't be too many extraordinary people willing to take action for this, and it shouldn't affect Louise's daily life.

After that, the party came to an end smoothly without any other unexpected interruptions. All members left in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".

Louise walked out of the party house and appeared in the dark alley outside. She looked up at the sky. The increasingly thickening fog was trying to block the light emitted by the crimson moon, but it was to no avail.

She looked back at the "Brave Bar" not far away, then turned and left.

…………

The "Brave Bar" on weekends is bustling with people and still noisy.

The bar owner Caspars was in the billiards room No. 2, playing billiards with one of his men, which was one of his few healthy hobbies.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound from the wooden door of the billiard room. It turned out that someone had pushed it open from the outside. When I looked around, I saw a familiar figure appearing at the door.

"You go out first." Kaspars ordered the men beside him.

The young man put down his billiard cue and walked out of the billiard room without saying a word. He subconsciously glanced at the visitor with his peripheral vision. He had a medium build, short hair, and was as cold as a piece of ice. When he passed by him, he couldn't bear to look at him.

I couldn't help but shudder.

When there were only two people left in the room, there was a gang leader who controlled a group of subordinates. Kaspars, who usually showed himself fierce and indifferent all day long, tried hard to put on a smile, which made the scars on his face look a bit ferocious. His tone was enthusiastic.

greeted:

"Mr. Maric, when did you come back?"

The cold man in front of me is none other than the defector of the "Rose School", a member of the "Temperance Sect", and the "living corpse" of Sequence Six, Maric.

His face was pale and there was deep malice in his eyes. He walked up to the table and answered simply:

"Just came back."

Caspars looked around subconsciously and found that there was no movement in the small room. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. He felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a lot, and asked cautiously:

"Miss Sharon is back too?"

Mariqi responded with a faint "hmm" and showed no intention of continuing the pleasantries. He pulled out a piece of parchment from his arms without any delay, and said in a cold tone as if issuing an order:

"Find the woman in the portrait. Her name is Louise."

Kaspars took the portrait and looked at it carefully for two seconds. He frowned heavily, as if thinking of something, and said in an uncertain tone:

"I seem to have seen this woman..."

"When?" A cold female voice suddenly sounded in the room.

Kaspars seemed to have expected it and was not frightened. He just turned his head after hearing the words and saw a woman wearing a black palace dress in the mirror behind him.

This woman has light blond hair, blue eyes, quite delicate appearance, but her face is extremely pale. She wears a small black soft hat, has no extra movements or expressions, and looks like a doll... It is Mali

Qi’s companion, the “Wraith Soul” of Sequence Five, Sharon.

"Miss Sharon."

Kaspars bowed slightly and said hello. As expected, he received no response. However, he was used to it and continued to recall in his mind, and finally answered:

"Last week, a woman who resembled this portrait five or six times came to me, with the purpose of joining the extraordinary gathering held by Mr. Eye of Wisdom through me."

"Did you agree to her?" Maric asked, with a hint of disappointment in his cold tone.

Kaspars answered truthfully: "Yes, because that woman did not hide her identity as an extraordinary person."

In this case, at the party just now, when he announced the commission, Louise was probably among the participating members. Could she be the woman who asked how to obtain the bounty... Maric felt a sense of regret out of thin air.

He looked at Sharon floating in mid-air, who shook her head invisibly, and then disappeared.

"Publish the commission." Maric ordered.

He clearly remembered the warnings of the three men from Jerari. As long as a missing person request was issued, Louise would take the initiative to find him. Other than that, there was no more efficient way to track the other party.

…………

When Louise returned home, she found that Miss "Soothsayer" seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Claudia politely declined your request to meet you. It seems that she is a complete stranger to you." Katrin said.

Louise was silent for two seconds, not much surprised, because she no longer felt that the Abraham family was looking for her, so she only replied lightly:

"I see."

Katrin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked: "Now that this clue has been broken, where should we start the investigation next?"

"No need." Louise denied, and continued to instruct without stopping: "Don't run out tomorrow, there are more important things to do."
