The rise of new forces of elves

"To be honest, some strange things have happened in our Akita family these days..."

As soon as the old man started talking, Kazumi interrupted with a look of surprise, "Akita family? Is it the Akita from the Akita Group?!"

Not only did the old man not feel angry because his speech was interrupted, but he stroked his beard with a proud look on his face, "The Akita Group is the family business of the Akita family, and I am an old man without talent, and I am the steward of the Akita family."

Li Chuan came to Dark City not long ago, and he didn't know much about some of the local forces in Dark City. All he knew was the two trainer forces of Yas Gym and Kaz Gym.

But Kazumi, who has been in Dark City for nearly half a year, knows that in addition to the two gyms in Dark City, there are also many local forces who quietly influence Dark City with a population of nearly sixty through fame, money and other things. A city of thousands.

The Akita Group is a leader in local power. The group's industries are involved in mining, metallurgy, construction, real estate and other areas, and its net worth is conservatively over one billion.

When it came to the secrets of this force, Kazumi gave up the idea of ​​explaining Lichuan's identity even if he only heard a little bit about it.

Blinking at Lichuan, Kazumi ordered naturally, "Lichuan, go hang up the closing sign at the door, and then just watch there for a while, and don't let anyone else in."

Li Chuan also reacted quickly, knowing that it was better not to cause trouble at this time, and honestly followed Kazumi's instructions, playing the role of 'assistant' perfectly.

The old man was also quite satisfied with Kazumi's caution. After seeing Li Chuan standing at the door, he continued the previous topic, "Miss Kazumi, you should know that the head of the Akita family, the chairman of the Akita Group, passed away, right? "

Kazumi nodded and told what she knew about the situation, "I saw it on the news. Ten days ago, the chairman of Akita Group, Mr. Akita Masahiko, passed away due to illness..."

The old housekeeper burst into tears immediately and said sadly, "Master, he had a sudden illness. By the time he discovered it, it was already too late~"

"Please grief."

Kazumi handed two tissues to the old butler, but the old butler waved his hand and refused. He took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.

After relaxing his mood for a while, perhaps considering the urgency of the matter, the old housekeeper got straight to the point.

Lichuan did not wait outside the door, but stood beside the green plants inside the door.

From this position, Lichuan could still hear the voices of Kazumi and the old housekeeper who didn't deliberately lower their voices.

"The master's funeral was held five days ago, but since that day, servants in the Akita Residence have fallen ill one after another. They all looked normal the night before and were bedridden early the next morning... …”

"When I asked them about their symptoms, they all said they were so weak that it was difficult to even raise their hands, let alone stand up..."

"Until this morning, even the 7-year-old young master at home was in trouble, even more serious, almost to the point of being unconscious..."

Having said this, the old housekeeper swallowed unconsciously, and his old face twitched slightly, "What's even more frightening is that even if the young master is unconscious, he keeps mumbling the word 'grandpa'..." …”

The smile on Kazumi's face stiffened unconsciously, and her words were a bit awkward, "Well, um, shouldn't you go to a witch or something for this kind of thing?"

"There are no ghosts or anything like that in this world! At most, it's just ghost-type elves causing trouble!"

"Heiluga exists with evil attributes. Even if a ghost-type elf does appear, I believe you, Miss Kazumi, can easily deal with it!"

The old housekeeper righteously refuted the talk of ghosts, which immediately caused Qingmei to subconsciously nod in agreement, "Yes, there are absolutely no ghosts in this world, only ghost-type elves!"

Lichuan blinked when he heard the conversation between the two. Why was there no problem with the ghost-type elf?

Aren't ghost-type elves just ghosts and ghosts in a certain sense? !

Just when Lichuan was silently complaining, the old butler suddenly changed the subject, his aura shrank, and he said with a haha, "Besides, even if it is really a ghost, it must be similar to a ghost-type elf. It exists, has evil attributes to restrain ghosts, and has a sensitive nose for searching. Miss Hemei, you can completely trust your Heiluga!"

You actually just think there are ghosts, right? !

Staring speechlessly at the old housekeeper in front of her, even though Kazumi was complaining, she felt in her heart that the second half of her words seemed to make some sense.

Although she has never seen a ghost, she has used Heiluga and other trainers' ghost stones to fight against them.

With 'Smell Detection', a skill that can be said to be a passive ability, Ghost Stone's invisibility ability is completely useless in the eyes of others, because Heiluga can determine its location through the sense of smell!

As long as you can hit your opponent, there's nothing that jet flames can't solve!

If so, then change it to big characters and blast it!

But after all, this is a situation that he has never faced before, and Kazumi is not sure whether he can complete this commission. Furthermore, considering that even if it is just a ghost-type elf, the danger is quite high.

Therefore, He Mei was going to politely reject the old housekeeper, "I'm sorry, I think my strength may be a little lacking..."

The old housekeeper touched his gray mustache, frowned and said, "From the trainer information I have collected, Miss Hemei, you may be the most suitable trainer in the dark city to handle this situation. Based on the actual situation Say, I don’t want you to refuse.”

The corners of Kazumi's eyes raised slightly. Is this a threat if the negotiation fails?

The old housekeeper also noticed Kazumi's dissatisfaction. After being stunned for a moment, he shook his head indifferently and slowly stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred thousand, as long as you resolve this matter and explain the situation in front of the servants at home, the reward of two hundred thousand will be credited to your card."

Hearing the numbers reported by the old butler, Kazumi's dissatisfaction instantly disappeared along with her intention to refuse.

Two hundred thousand!

You can get a reward of yuan for completing a commission!

I’ll get more customers who force me to accept orders like this!

Kazumi's whole body was elated, and Lichuan who was listening was also dumbfounded.

The reward given casually was an amount that he didn't know how long it would take to save. Maybe this is a rich person...

"What do you mean, Miss Hemei?" The old housekeeper formally asked about Hemei's intentions with a smile in his eyes.

"Accept it! Of course I accept it!" Hemei replied with great joy, fearing that this high-value commission would disappear if she spoke too late.

"Very good!" The old housekeeper clapped his hands, and then asked a little worriedly, "Miss Hemei, you should know how to explain the situation if this matter is resolved successfully, right?"

A flash of understanding flashed across Kazumi's face, and she said with a smile, "It must be the ghost-type elf causing trouble!"

The old housekeeper nodded with satisfaction.

No matter what the truth is, what happened to the Akita family in the past few days can only be caused by the ghost elves!

"Then without further ado, Miss Hemei, shall we set off now?" The old housekeeper who stood up tugged on his sleeves and extended his hand to invite.

Knowing the urgency of the matter, Kazumi didn't hesitate. She picked up the door lock and was about to close the store door, but found that Li Chuan was still standing at the door and couldn't help but slap her head.

While he was so happy about this high-value commission, he forgot that Li Chuan still stayed in the store as an 'assistant'.

The old housekeeper also noticed Li Chuan's presence at this time. For the sake of safety, he took the initiative to say, "Miss Hemei, in order to avoid any mistakes, I think it's better to keep your assistant with you~"
