421: 【Payday Ⅲ】No problem

Chapter 420: 【Payday III】 No Problem

Ten minutes later, Claude finished his transaction with Miss “Ai Si”, his face full of disbelief.

In such a short time, his account balance had increased by 10,000 contribution points, which was more than he had earned in the past month!

Looking back at the previous transaction, Claude had only provided some insignificant information, such as Dick’s facial features, clothing, hairstyle, and current situation, etc…

The reason it was insignificant was because this information was already meant to be made public, as the Investigating Officers had widely publicized it before.

What Claude didn't know was that Dick was about to become the star of the entire Central Region, and Luca III would use all his power to promote him.

In at most one day, Dick would become a household name in the Suweier Kingdom, and even the entire Central Region.

In a sense, the information Claude had just traded was completely worthless; he had essentially picked up 10,000 contribution points for free.

“That Miss Ai Si is really wealthy, even though she's only a Two-Star Wizard cadre… She seems very eager. What is her relationship with Dick Grudia…”

Claude muttered to himself. Years of experience told him that things were not that simple, and being involved with the Wizard Association generally didn't bode well.

But no matter what, Claude was very satisfied with this transaction. It was almost the most satisfying deal he had made since he started working!

At the same time, Isurna and Dick were communicating with Luca III through the military radio, just like Claude had been.

“Don’t worry, the Suweier Empire is a just and strict country, and I am a monarch who advocates justice. As long as it is determined that you are not the murderer, you will definitely…”

Although Luca III was making promises, Dick still bowed his head low, pretending to listen attentively.

In contrast, Isurna had her arms crossed, her face indifferent, and even her eyes showed a lot of disdain, not giving Luca III any face at all.

“It is my luck that Your Majesty is wise,” Dick slowly raised his head, saying confidently, “With your cooperation, I believe the real culprit will be caught soon!”

A few minutes later, Isurna unilaterally cut off the conversation, even though Luca III still had something to say.

“Hmph, hypocritical guy. Is this the price of becoming an Emperor? He was clearly a foolish boy when he was in school…”

Isurna’s tone was displeased, mixed with a hint of regret. She genuinely missed the former Luca III, the crying boy who hid his identity to attend school.

In the ten years since he became Emperor, Luca III’s personality had almost completely changed. Every step he took was thought-provoking; he was completely different from when he was a Prince.

Originally, Isurna didn't believe it and thought someone was manipulating Luca III behind the scenes, until he reached out to his three younger brothers, and until the two of them communicated face-to-face.

“Let’s go, time waits for no one!”

Isurna had never been one to dwell on the past. She preferred to focus on the future, and immediately pulled Dick towards the crime scene.

The dead cannot be brought back to life. Ryan was already a cold corpse. What Isurna had to do now was to prevent her other two younger brothers from becoming like this.

Before long, the two passed through layers of cordon and arrived inside the military tent where Ryan was assassinated.

With Isurna accompanying them, it was a green light everywhere they went. The soldiers even skipped the inspection procedures and let them through just by seeing their faces.

In fact, this was not only the case in the military camp, but also for Isurna throughout the Suweier Empire, even in the Royal Palace.

Inside the military tent at this moment, a strong smell of blood still permeated the air. Ryan, whose head had been cut off, had his blood splattered everywhere.

“Do you really have a way to find clues?”

Isurna’s face showed sorrow. The thought of her brother dying here made it difficult for her to suppress her grief.

Hearing this, Dick nodded confidently and said, “Unless it’s supernatural means, all teleportation will definitely leave traces!”

Dick slowly walked to the place where Ryan had fallen, carefully observed the surroundings, his brain working at high speed, and quickly simulated the scene at that time.

“General Maike Ase’s human skin… This is Atlantean biological shapeshifting, and also Apricot Lilli’s recent invention.”

“She was impersonating General Maike Ase, using lies to make Ryan drop his guard, and shedding her skin when the time was right…”

“She should have used a God-rank dagger called Wave Cutter, which can cut space and ignore the armor on Ryan’s neck…”

“At that time, Apricot Lilli was like this…”

Swish—

Dick held a wooden stick in a backhand grip and swung it diagonally upwards.

“Commander Ruien’s head then rolled to the ground, and Apricot Lilli did not dodge, but stood still, bathed in the splattered blood…”

Dick pointed to a lighter bloodstain on the ground, where two footprints were clearly visible, the small size of a young girl.

Listening to Dick’s deduction, Isurna’s face showed shock.

She had been at the scene for less than a minute, and yet he could come up with the same report as the Investigating Officers. No, Dick’s was even more specific.

“Lend me Thunder Purple.”

Isurna subconsciously nodded, drew the purple longsword from her waist, and was about to hand it to Dick when she quickly pulled back.

“You, you are not allowed to do bad things again, okay?”

Looking at Isurna’s somewhat cute warning, Dick chuckled and shook his head, “What happened this morning was just an accident…”

Honestly, Dick had a premonition that 【Payday III】 would steal Isurna’s panties, because that was likely the most valuable secret treasure within a one-kilometer radius!

Although, that pair of purple boxer panties were made of ordinary material, the style was simple and unadorned, and there were no embedded magic arrays or even a single gem on them…

However, they were Isurna’s personal clothing, the personal clothing that the number one beauty in the Central Continent of the Demon Spirit Continent had worn all day and had not yet been washed!

If they were put up for auction, they would not be snatched up without at least nine-figure gold coins!

So, in a sense, 【Payday III】 had stolen them without a problem.
