Chapter 352 - Wantong Tower
Chapter 352: Wantong Tower
“Audrey, why aren’t you leaving?” Klein asked in puzzlement when he saw that Audrey did not seem like she was about to leave. The others also cast puzzled looks at Audrey.
Audrey thought for a moment before she suddenly pulled out a hand and set up a protective barrier over the entire village, sealing it.
“What’s this for?” Cole asked in puzzlement.
“Audrey set up a protective barrier here to prevent others from invading and harming the villagers,” Adrian explained from the side. He could not help but feel proud of Audrey. Not only had she completed the mission… she had even genuinely considered the villagers.
“I see. Audrey, you’re thoughtful.” Cole smiled innocently, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Audrey only nodded slightly before walking into the halo.
In the blink of an eye, the few of them returned to the mission hall. Cali was waiting for them. When he saw Audrey and the others, the corners of Cali’s mouth immediately curled up into a friendly smile. “Welcome back.”
“Elder Cali.”
“You’ve completed the mission very well this time.” Cali smiled and said, “100 points for each of you have been distributed to your accounts.”
“Great, another 100 points,” Cole said excitedly.
Klein and the others also had smiles on their faces. They thought that this mission would be a near-death experience, not only did it not happen, but it also gave them a very different experience.
In the future, they would all be the successors of the five families, but they never knew what the people at the bottom were like. The experience in the village made Klein and the others understand the importance of the residents.
In the future, they would naturally lead the five great families to do more work for the residents of Spark City.
After a round of conversation, Audrey and the others left the mission hall. Everyone had to go back to rest, while Audrey went straight to the City Lord’s mansion.
There were too many things in the village this time. She had to explain them clearly to Lance.
“Miss Audrey, the City Lord has been waiting for you for a long time.” Just as they reached the door, Shadowless Ghost Hand had already walked up and said this.
Audrey was stunned. It seemed that Lance knew that she was back.
“Okay,” Audrey replied and walked into the City Lord’s residence. Lance was sitting on the sofa. His standard sitting posture made Audrey smile.
“Lance…” Audrey walked up.
“Tell me about your experience this time,” Lance interrupted Audrey and said with a heavy tone.
Audrey swallowed the words that she had prepared. She followed Lance’s instructions, starting from the moment she entered the glacier to the moment she came back. She told everything in detail.
Lance seemed to be listening to a story. From time to time, he would look happy and frown.
“Well, you did well. Have you fought with a mysterious person before? Do you know who he is?” Lance thought for a moment and asked in a low voice.
“No, they saw that the situation wasn’t right and ran away.” Audrey shook her head, feeling a little regretful. If she could fight with him, she would definitely be able to obtain more information.
However, she did not make a wasted trip this time.
“I suspect that they are from the Carol Association.” After pondering for a moment, Audrey said meaningfully, “They don’t cultivate combat Qi, but demonic Qi.”
Even Lance did not have a complete understanding of demonic Qi, so his thoughts grew heavier.
After a moment of silence, Lance sighed, “I understand. You can continue investigating this matter. I still need to understand more about demonic Qi. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that word.”
As he spoke, Lance stood up and returned to the study, deep in thought.
Audrey’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions. She was stunned for a few seconds before she left the City Lord’s mansion.
The Carol Association was too mysterious. Up until now, Audrey had only known about Xavier, Daisy, and the mysterious man in the royal blue clothes.
He must be hiding in the knights, but why had she never seen him before? This was also something that Audrey could not figure out.
Audrey knew that if she wanted to find out more about Carol Association, she had to take the initiative to contact them instead of waiting for them to appear every time.
Perhaps, there would be some news from Wantong Tower.
The next day, Audrey took a carriage to Wantong Tower. Here, no matter what information you wanted to know, as long as you paid the appropriate price, you would know.
This was also Audrey’s first time here. In the past, she did not need to know anything, nor did she have the ability to make money.
The carriage stopped in front of Wantong Tower. The people who came and went were all wealthy businessmen or people with status. In short, those who could enter this place to inquire were either rich or powerful.
Audrey was a girl. She did not look special, and the people of Wantong Tower did not put her in their eyes at all.
“I’m looking for your director,” Audrey walked up and said coldly.
The shop assistant in the hall looked at Audrey disdainfully and said, “The director is busy. You can’t just see her as you wish. This is Wantong Tower, not a place to play. You’d better go somewhere else.”
“I know. I’m here for Wantong Tower.” Audrey glanced at her, her voice cold.
The shop assistant was even more puzzled. She sized Audrey up from head to toe, but she did not see anything special. She only felt that she was joking and talking big.
“It costs a lot to come here. Do you have any?” The shop assistant said disdainfully.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Hearing this, the shop assistant thought that Audrey did not dare to admit it, so she simply chased her away. “Alright, stop wasting time here. Hurry up and get out.”
