"That's it." The guide stopped.

Oakham looked up and saw that the house had an ancient atmosphere from top to bottom. The door was small, the inside was dark, and it was raining, making it feel very uncomfortable.

"You guys are really good at picking places." Oakham said with a bit of disgust.

The guide smiled slightly, "Mr. likes it here very much, so... please, Mr. Oakham."

Oakham felt helpless and said to his subordinates, "You go and wait for me across the street. I'll be back as soon as I go."

He was about to take the girl in with him, but the leader stopped him.

"Sir said, you only need to go in alone."

The girl raised her eyebrows and was a little unhappy, "Hey! What do you mean? You're afraid that I might eavesdrop!"

The guide still kept smiling, but his words were cold, "Don't get me wrong, girl, I didn't mean that, but the rules are the rules. I hope you can be more considerate of the difficulties of being servants like us."

"Tch!" The girl didn't appreciate it. She turned to Oakham and said coquettishly, "Baby, look at him!! He is mean to me~~~"

Oakham rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, go with them to the other side of the street and wait for me. I'll be out in a minute."

The girl pouted, snorted, and walked away angrily.

The guide then stepped aside and said, "Please."

Oakham straightened his clothes and walked through the door.



This quaint little building looked very depressing from the outside, but once inside, Oakham realized that there was something special inside.

Not only has the rain stopped, but everything has become brighter. There are many colorful flowers planted in the small yard in front of the building. Passing through, the fragrance hits your face, which is very comforting.

When he reached the front hall, Oakham stopped and led passers-by into the backyard to report.

While standing in the front hall, Oakham looked around the room. There were a lot of things in this small room, especially calligraphy and paintings, which were hung on the left and right walls. Among them, there was a painting hanging on the left wall.

Although he couldn't quite make out the words Ocme on both sides of the painting of a lady, he could see the painting clearly.

Although it is not a realistic style like sketching, the beauty of this artistic conception actually makes the people in the painting more spiritual.

While watching, a girl dressed in black came to the front hall.

Oakham looked back, his heart was shocked, and he thought to himself, 'How could it be her...'

The girl's face was cold and expressionless. When she saw Oakham, she said, "Come with me."

Oakham cleared his throat, straightened his clothes and followed.

Passing through the front hall, we arrived at the yard behind the small building. There were many bamboos here, and the overall style was completely different from the front yard, making it more elegant.

There is a small pavilion deep in the bamboo forest. There are three people sitting in the pavilion, two men and one woman.

The man wore a black and white martial arts style robe, and the woman wore a light blue cheongsam. All three of them wore masks and ornaments on their heads. One man and one woman wore pale mask ornaments, and the one sitting in the middle wore a gray-brown mask.

The three of them were sitting around the blue-black stone table in the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, Oakham found a page of silk book lying on the stone table. The text on it was already mottled and unclear. He didn't know what the three people were reading so absorbedly.

"Sir, he's here." The woman who led the way said respectfully.

The man sitting in the middle raised his head slightly, and when he opened his eyes, there was a hint of red gold in the dark pupils, revealing a sinister aura.

Although Oakham had heard that these people were extremely scary, he didn't expect that just standing here would make it difficult to breathe...

"Well..." The man called sir only responded, but there was no follow-up.

Oakham didn't dare to speak either.

After a long time, the woman on the left side of Oakham said, "This time things were done so-so, but at last there was no big trouble, so you don't have to worry too much. What was promised to you will be given to you naturally."

,only……"

only……

Oakham swallowed subconsciously.

The man opposite the woman continued, "It's just that the matter has a sequel. We hope that you can continue to fulfill the contract until the matter ends satisfactorily."

Oakham was shocked when he heard this. He came today to put an end to all of this... However, things were far from as simple as Oakham thought...

Although he himself had already guessed that dealing with these people was not as straightforward as the previous transactions, but now that he was getting deeper and deeper, Oakham realized the seriousness of the problem.

Seemingly sensing Oakham's hesitation, the woman asked, "Are you a little overwhelmed?"

Oakham had already broken down in a cold sweat. He smiled bitterly and said, "Well... although the Arbiter thinks I'm dead now... their investigation work is not over yet... If I continue, it may lead to more troubles."

Big trouble."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Are you worried about us?"

Oakham grinned, "Uh...yes...oh no...it's us. I want a happy ending too, right?"

The woman understood and looked at the gentleman who was always silent.

The gentleman's attention was still focused on the silk book on the stone table. When the woman looked over, he slightly raised his head and glanced at Oakham.

Although it was just a glance, Oakham felt that all his secrets were clearly seen by the other party.

This man with an astonishing appearance made Oakham both scared and inexplicably feel admiration... That feeling was very strange... very strange... but he couldn't tell what was strange...

Oakham searched for words in his mind and finally settled on three words...that is, all of this feels so unnatural.

It was like being forced on Oakham's cerebral cortex, but he couldn't resist.

"Are you scared?" the gentleman finally said.

Oakham nodded subconsciously.

The gentleman smiled, very short and cold.

"It's okay, go ahead and get what we agreed upon, and then... you will be free." The gentleman's voice was very soft, but it had an irreversible sense of oppression.

Oakham nodded again. Although he was resisting in his heart, these words of the gentleman had taken root in his heart, and he had realized that he could not refuse.

"Okay, I will arrange it carefully."

The gentleman nodded slightly, and then said, "Don't be afraid, Li Yuan will go with you."

Oakham was shocked when he heard this, as if he suddenly woke up.

He looked at the woman in black next to him. This woman named Li Yuan still had no expression on her face. After receiving the order from her husband, she only responded calmly, "Yes, sir."

"Well...I'm tired. You can step back."

Li Yuan bowed respectfully, then walked backwards and left the pavilion.

Oakham also imitated Li Yuan's behavior, bowed and hurried out.

When passing through the front hall, Li Yuan stopped Oakham, "Wait a minute, Miss Fangwei has something to say to you."

Fowler Oakham was stunned, and he stood still.

After a while, the woman in cheongsam came to the front hall. When she saw Oakham, she said softly, "Lan Gu has already settled your family. Not only have they left the camp, they are also with Percival."

Once you obtain legal citizenship, when things here are over, you can reunite with your family and stay away from right and wrong."

Oakham was stunned for a moment, then said gratefully, "Thank you."

Fuwei smiled, "But the follow-up work is not that easy. You must always remember that if you make a mistake, it will not harm your own interests. Do you understand what I mean?"

Oakham's face straightened, "I understand, Miss Xie Fuwei reminds me."

Fuwei nodded, "Well, this is not the first time that you and Li Yuan have partnered. I hope you can ignore the past grudges and complete the tasks assigned by your husband as soon as possible."

"yes!"



Seeing Ockham leading the people away, Jin Yuan started to murmur in his heart.

First of all, he didn't know the purpose of Oakham's coming here today. At least from the conversation between them, Jin Yuan didn't hear any specific content. He only knew that Oakham would continue to take actions, and there would be more this time.

I got a helper named Li Yuan.

As for the other...the identities and purposes of those three people, Jin Yuan had no idea at all.

However, after some thinking, Jin Yuan was not ready to alert the snake. He planned to continue to follow Oakham and his party until he found out the ins and outs of the incident. At the same time, he also had an additional helper, a blond man sent to him by Xia Yiyi and Minnie.

Beauty Xing Mengmeng.

When he first met Xing Mengmeng, Jin Yuan felt "rejected" in his heart.

Because this girl looked too hot, not like Xia Yiyi's "cold style" at all, which made people uninterested.

Furthermore, this girl is not an arbiter, and she rarely participates in tracking and investigation tasks. Therefore, even though Kanehara has no resistance to beautiful women, his principles are still very clear in the face of major events, so he expressed to Minnie "

reject".

However, the answer was yes.

"I did not send Mengmeng to you so that she would suffer hardships with you, and she will not directly participate in your reconnaissance operations. However, as a backup, Mengmeng alone is worth a special operations company!"
