Chapter 22 (2/2)

“So why did you purposefully call us out here?” Noah asked doubtfully. As a veteran adventurer, he didn’t believe for a single second that Lars would be able to pick his pocket.

So it was obvious. Chris purposefully revealed that he had money to attract the pickpocket’s attention, then followed him back to this hideout, he clearly needed the pickpockets’ help for something other than simply looking for a person.

“I really can’t underestimate you” Chris threw the pebble in his hand away and spoke with a solemn tone: “Of course, I was able to find out where Isabella was, and I know that she has a daughter called Nala”

“But it isn’t easy to bring her anywhere. People are monitoring me constantly, so randomly going to meet her would only expose my goal” Chris squinted his eyes, clearly displaying the scar on his face: “So I want you to help me arrange a secret meeting with her, she’s needed somewhere else”

“Can you trust us so easily?” Noah shook his head.

“Call it the basic sense of trust between people” Chris pulled a small pouch full of money out from his chest, placed it down and walked out: “This is a deposit. Please hurry and arrange a good time for me, careful not to tell the entire town about it”

Looking at Chris’ back as he left, Noah said nothing. Instead, he was considering Chris’ words, there were both truth and lies within what he said, so it was best to not believe everything, but he couldn’t brush it all off as lies either.

As for his goal, that part was pure bullshit. Why would a legendary adventurer need the help of some local thugs to secretly meet with a woman? The thing he called ‘trust’ was also nothing but baseless lies.

“Arrange it, treat it like normal business” Noah ordered.

At the same time, Wang Yuan was silently hovering in front of Isabella, naturally, she couldn’t see Wang Yuan.

Considering the situation between the two countries, he could faintly understand the reason why that ‘legendary adventurer’ came to find Isabella.

Isabella came from the Interkam Kingdom’s Tagula family, as a branch of the royal family, they also carried the ‘Dragon’s bloodline’. During the kingdom’s internal strife several years ago, the current Interkam King, Seth the First, had most of the relatives who could threaten him killed, among which included the royal branch Tagula family.

As the eldest daughter of the Tagula family, Isabella ran away to what was at the time, still a small Cauchy village to take refuge and met the love of her life, Jacob.

Currently, due to the internal strife from several years ago as well as other reasons, the Interkam Kingdom was becoming weaker day by day. As the war with the Royas Kingdom slowly became inevitable, there were fewer and fewer people who supported Seth the First, but because of how actively Seth the First killed his competitors back then, there weren’t too many people left qualified to take the throne.

If one really stretched it, as the eldest daughter of the Tagula family, Isabella certainly did have the qualifications to become the Interkam Kingdom’s Empress.

But there were still a lot of puzzling factors here, Isabella certainly had the qualifications, but she wasn’t the only one. No matter how cruel Seth was, he couldn’t have completely wiped out the royal family bloodline, that would only push himself into a corner.

“It isn’t strange for someone to look for Isabella at this point in time, but it certainly is strange that Chris was the one who came” because of how far down the line of succession Isabella was, the fact that Chris came here was abnormal.

“There must be information that I don’t know about” Wang Yuan glanced at the little girl who just returned and began to formulate his plans, thinking of how to use this to his advantage.
