441: I bet there's no bullet in your gun
Chapter 440: I Bet There's No Bullet in Your Gun
The rules of the Elf Gold Firm only bind those outside the Didalian Family.
As for the Flower Elves of the Didalian Family, they are the ones who make the rules, are not bound, and naturally do not need to follow them!
Although Afra is currently not in the Royal Capital, or even in the Suweier Empire, her influence is as heavy as a mountain boulder no matter what.
With that pure Didalian bloodline, she is currently the Flower Elf with the highest status on the Demon Spirit Continent.
Moreover, nominally, Afra is still the Investigating Officer dispatched by the Gold Firm headquarters to the Demon Spirit Continent, and her evaluation will affect the promotion of employees to a certain extent.
Curridge is only over four thousand years old, his lifespan is not yet halfway through, and he still wants to try to climb higher, striving to be promoted to the continent where the Gold Firm headquarters is located.
Claude also knew Afra's great name, and at this moment, a wave of shock inevitably surged in his heart.
When Dick was previously teleported over, Claude had searched him and naturally found this fate teaching scripture, but he didn't think it was real at the time.
Because Claude had never seen Afra's signature, much less Afra herself.
Originally, Claude had planned to find a time to ask Curridge, but before he could confirm, Dick had already gained freedom.
Ten minutes later, with Curridge's active cooperation, "Victor" was found to be an alias, and his account was newly created, having been used for less than a week.
And tracing further back, the funds in Victor's account came from transfers from multiple accounts, all of which were accounts in the Western Region of the Atlanta Continent.
After several rounds of tracking, Curridge finally found the source of the funds, an account named Frankenstein Anzier, who was precisely Apricot Lilli's deceased biological father!
Having investigated this far, it can basically be confirmed that the true identity of Mr. Victor is the notorious Divine Machine Witch, Xing Lili Anzier!
Although there is no direct evidence to show the father-daughter relationship between the two, the fact that they are from the same continent and have the same surname is really difficult to explain by coincidence.
Of course, the most important thing is that Dick has this connection with Afra, so the Suweier Empire is not afraid of offending a Black Card holder.
However, Claude still played a little trick; he gave the responsibility for this capture operation to Dick, making it convenient to shift the blame afterwards.
"Then shall we act directly, or..."
Looking at the five-star hotel where Apricot Lilli was located from a distance, Dick waved his hand, signaling the Investigating Officers to remain calm.
"We must not disturb the Divine Machine Witch; the capture operation must be done step by step. She is not a turtle in a jar; she can easily teleport away directly!"
Hearing this, Claude immediately suggested, "Then let's first seal off the space around the hotel, and then..."
"It's useless, only God-rank space magic arrays can achieve effective sealing," Dick said, shaking his head gently, "But the Suweier Empire should not yet have the ability to set up God-rank magic arrays, right?"
Setting up God-rank magic arrays requires Mages above level 80, and they must also be exceptionally talented; otherwise, even if Dick can provide relevant technical guidance, it will be useless.
The Investigating Officers looked embarrassed; let alone Mages above level 80, they hadn't even seen a God-rank magic array, and even Suweier's national protection array was only quasi-God-rank.
Relying on the talent "Piercing Falsehood," Dick was able to discover the means Apricot Lilli had set up around the hotel; simply counting, there were at least over a thousand magic arrays.
In Dick's vision, the entire hotel was like a fully armed fortress; if any abnormality occurred, Apricot Lilli could detect it immediately.
"Phew, then let's start with sweeping the mines..."
Dick twisted his neck, then moved his wrist, and began to signal the Investigating Officers to dismantle the magic arrays.
Although he had only conquered Apricot Lilli in one lifetime, because she was the only Witch who later became the God of Rules, Dick's impression was very deep.
Coupled with having been Apricot Lilli's mentor, Dick was even clearer about her various habits, especially the habit of setting up trap magic arrays.
Dick was fully confident that he could stealthily get close to Apricot Lilli without anyone knowing, while her consciousness was likely still controlling Lian Na, playing with Isurna in Manbo City.
...
On the other side, outside Manbo City.
Since she had known Lian Na's true identity for a long time, Isurna's vigilance was at its peak; facing various probing questions from many mouths, she only appropriately released some unimportant information.
However, Apricot Lilli was very clever; even though Isurna's acting had no flaws, she still vaguely sensed a trace of abnormality.
"I know that traditional women like you actually dislike my experience as a prostitute, but if it weren't for survival, who would be willing to become a tool for venting desires?"
Hearing Apricot Lilli's slightly resentful tone, Isurna immediately gave a forced smile and waved her hand, hurriedly saying, "How, how could that be, Lian Na? I would never discriminate against any prostitute forced by life..."
After several rounds of reassurance, Apricot Lilli's mood finally improved. Taking advantage of Isurna being at a disadvantage in this social interaction, she quickly began a new round of trying to extract information.
"When we just met yesterday, I knew you were actually... Hehe, still a virgin, right~"
"I, I, I..." Isurna became a little incoherent, but after thinking that this didn't seem to be important information, she quickly stammered, "So, so what?"
In the Central Region, the Suweier Empire is at the forefront in various fields, including openness.
Suweier women are not innocent; instead, they are like wild horses that have broken free, not caring about so-called purity at all. They care more about the pleasure when emotions intertwine.
Someone like Isurna, who is 22 years old and still hasn't experienced intimacy, can be said to be quite rare; other women her age are already mothers of several children.
This number one beauty in the Central Region is not without admirers, but no one has been able to obtain her, after all, Isurna's other title is the number one prodigy in the Central Region.
In the Suweier Empire, which values talent, the Royal Family is Isurna's biggest protective umbrella; therefore, everyone must abide by the law and cannot force her to do anything.
Although Isurna's personality is very good, the arrogance in her bones reaches straight into the sky; this can be seen from the threshold she set for suitors.
A husband is a lifelong soulmate; everything must be absolutely compatible. Therefore, Isurna does not accept men who are weaker than herself.
Of course, Isurna is not invincible; some level 60-70 professionals can easily defeat her, but the premise is that they must overcome the great mountain that is the Suweier Royal Family.
Seeing Isurna's mind in disarray, Apricot Lilli immediately seized the opportunity and said unexpectedly, "I noticed the look in your eyes when you look at Dick... there's a feeling of intimate trust, which usually only appears in the eyes of lovers..."
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Dick and I are just friends who just met!!"
Isurna turned away with a flushed face; she didn't even notice herself that she would become so agitated because of a single sentence.
Taking advantage of Isurna's heart being in turmoil, Apricot Lilli's lips curved, and she secretly felt disdain.
Hehe, virgins are so innocent; they can't handle a few teasing words...
Just as Apricot Lilli was preparing to further extract more useful information, her expression suddenly froze, her pupils then dilated, and her entire body stiffly fell backward.
As Apricot Lilli's consciousness left, Lian Na directly turned into a lifeless shell.
At the same time, on the top floor of a five-star hotel in the Suweier Royal Capital, Apricot Lilli opened her eyes in horror and then abruptly sat up.
The next instant, she unhesitatingly pulled out a magic handgun from behind the pillow, unlocked the safety, and aimed at Dick, who was standing in front of the bed with a smile.
"Hehe, I bet there's no bullet in your gun."
With that, Dick casually tossed a gold coin in front of Apricot Lilli.
