Chapter 711: 226. Redface Blackface_3
“Leave this matter to you, then.” Noland Lee said:
“I feel ‘admiration’ for your magnanimity, Selena. Dickler Fagen is colluding with the Dread Sail Pirate Nation in secret and using the Dragon Clan Stele Script to force you to submit to him. For such a person, you would actually communicate with them through letters. Your mind is quite broad.”
“Stop ridiculing me, Jarvis.” Selena’s face showed bitterness, and her voice had a somewhat pleading tone.
Noland Lee ceased while he was ahead and grinned:
“It’s just a joke, I won’t say it again. I know your hardship, I just can’t help but complain a few times. Let’s end today’s matter here. I’ll hand over the corpses and important relics to you. I believe you’ll handle them well.”
Noland Lee reached for his waist, took out the Magic Pouch containing the four headless corpses and magic books, and placed them on the tabletop.
Selena can use the headless corpses as a deterrent to force Dickler Fagen to submit.
Returning the magic books with magic locks is the best way to deal with them.
Anyone who touches the magic lock in the wrong way will alert the Professor who set up the lock.
Returning intact magic books with magic locks can demonstrate their own demeanor and clear themselves of suspicion of “breaking the magic lock and illegally obtaining magic knowledge” without giving the other party a chance to exploit the law to question themselves.
Seeing Noland Lee take out bodies and magic books on his own accord, Selena had a higher opinion of his worldly skills.
If Noland Lee refuses to surrender the corpse and magic books, she would have to spend more time persuading the other party.
Now, this troublesome matter is saved.
She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, showing a slight smile, and collected the Magic Pouch on the table.
“I’m going back first, Selena. I’ll be staying in the Core Circle and Inner Circle for the next few days, occasionally going to the Outer Ring to meet up with Sienna’s housekeeper. If there’s news, you can contact me anytime using ‘Soul Perception.'”
Noland Lee stood up, preparing to summon Denise Green to take him away.
Before leaving, he reminded Selena:
“I’m giving Dickler Fagen a week. If the money isn’t in place by then, I’ll immediately eliminate him and his family’s secret guard. By taking immediate action, you’ll be more confident in your negotiation, am I right?”
“Yes. I understand. You’re right.” Selena replied solemnly:
“If I haven’t received donations within a week, I’ll cooperate with all your work. I always remember your help. If I were not a Nine Circles Wizard with the responsibility of managing the wizard forces, I would use a duel to wash away the humiliation Dickler Fagen inflicted on me.”
When mentioning that Dickler Fagen wanted to force her into marriage, Selena became somewhat indignant and resentful.
It was evident from her often handling matters from a broader perspective that she harbored hatred for Dickler Fagen in her heart.
This kind of behavior, which was different on the inside and outside, might be misunderstood as “cowardly,” but Noland Lee knew that this was essentially a manifestation of toughness.
If Noland Lee were to eliminate Dickler Fagen, it would mean not only punishing the criminals who conspired to murder the Enforcement Wizard but also helping Selena get her revenge.
Noland Lee waved goodbye to Selena.
A flash of fire passed through the study room, and Denise Green took Noland Lee away.
After Noland Lee left, Selena began to check the corpses and magic books in the Magic Pouch.
Except for being headless, the four corpses had no additional injuries and showed no signs of their bodies being desecrated.
This shows that Noland Lee can control his emotions and wouldn’t vent his anger on the corpses.
