They all call me master

Arthur swallowed the words of rejection that were already on his lips.

He looked at Vonter before him.

Although he is wearing a top hat, you can still see some hair coming out from under the top hat. You can tell that if the other party takes off the hat, his hairstyle will be messy. Although the clothes are of good quality, they are wrinkled and obviously long. They had not been ironed for a while, and there was a faint smell of sweat when you smelled them closely. The shoes that were supposed to be clean and bright were already stained with stains, not only muddy water, but also horse manure.

Especially the other party's eyes were red and bloodshot. He just said a word to Arthur and blinked unconsciously.

Obviously, the other party was quite nervous.

The flash of skills [Fire-Gaze] and [Observe Motive and Color] allowed Arthur to quickly grasp Vontel's information.

Arthur's impression of Von Ter was still at the time when the other party compensated him with 20 gold tickets. At that time, Von Ter was a standard, idle and exciting rich kid.

And now?

The other party was very embarrassed, not to mention that it was actually related to Oak Manor.

Even though Malinda had been with him last night and had just left, at this moment, Arthur still suspected that Malinda was colluding with the other party to act.

What a coincidence, right?

He needs Golden Acorn, and Oak Manor needs his help?

Arthur frowned.

However, he still invited the other party to No. 2 Kirk Street.

"Sir Kratos, please help me!"

As soon as he entered the psychic medium's hall, the young man said again.

"Don't worry, please sit down and speak slowly."

"I need to know what happened."

Arthur raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, indicating the reason.

Pendragon on the side was awake at the moment. After eating a bowl of cat food, he was about to return to the cat's nest, but he was hugged by Arthur and sat in a chair - he thought he should be with Pan. Dragon builds a deeper friendship.

Pendragon was content with the situation, adjusted his position, and continued to sleep, letting Arthur's palms scratch from the top of his head to his back. Only his tail flicked from time to time to remind Arthur to pay attention.

With Arthur's comfort and a few minutes of pampering, Vonter finally calmed down.

He began to introduce himself in detail.

"Lord Doyle was my father and my mother was a bartender in South Loss. They met only because of the influence of alcohol, and my birth was also a wonderful misunderstanding - the identity of the father could not be My mother and I were connected to Oak Manor, so he bought a house for my mother and me in South Los Angeles and gave me the opportunity to go to school and learn to read.”

Although Vonter said it quite euphemistically, through such a description, Arthur still confirmed the identity of the other party's illegitimate son, and Lord Doyle was quite good to his illegitimate son.

‘No wonder you can hang out in South Los! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart.

Anyone in South Los has heard of the reclusive family of Lord Doyle.

In order to please the Earl of Nanlos, the lord did not allow anyone in the family to leave Oak Manor - of course, not including the servants.

Although Oak Manor can be self-sufficient, some fresh fruits, seafood, and meat still need to be purchased by servants.

Some people call this Lord Doyle a 'die-hard loyalist' to the Earl of Nanlos.

Some people even called the other party contemptuously as the 'lackey' of the Earl of Nanlos.

But Lord Doyle didn't care and still went his own way.

Arthur guessed that the Lord just wanted to remain neutral between the Old Lion of the Inner Bay and the Tigress of Nanlos.

Of course, there are other possibilities.

Before he could be sure, Arthur continued to listen.

"Every year on my birthday, my father would ask the servants to bring me birthday gifts. From the time I was born to now, it has never been interrupted, but this time it was interrupted - I only thought it was a gift at first. My father forgot or was delayed by something, after all, he is getting older and this is normal."

"One day ago, I finally received the gift I received when I was 22 years old, a finely crafted dagger - but I had received a similar gift when I was 15 years old. I was very excited at the time, and then I was short-changed after being extremely happy. The sword cut his arm and almost killed him."

"My mother was furious because of this and would not allow me to touch the weapon again. Moreover, my father also wrote a letter to apologize to me, expressing his concern and promising that he would never give me the same gift again."

"That confused me, so I checked the dagger and..."

Fontel said this, then took out a silk cloth from his pocket and handed it to Arthur.

The silk fabric is so delicate that it should be part of the pajamas.

There are two words scarlet on it——

Help!

Arthur frowned.

The writing is scrawled, and the width of the handwriting seems to be about the same as that of a finger.

‘Bite your finger, write it on the torn pajamas cloth, and then ask for help from the illegitimate child? ’

Arthur guessed in his heart and looked at Fontel again.

He believed that Vonter, who had received this secret letter, could not remain indifferent.

Faced with Arthur's guessing gaze, Vonter nodded.

"I didn't tell my mother, I just returned to Oak Manor with some people - some necessary bodyguards and a few reporters - they stopped me, I forced my way in, and then...

I saw my father's body entering the coffin.

Father is dead!

After sending me a distress letter, he died!

They killed my father! "

Vonter clenched his fists and his eyes widened.

"them?"

Arthur asked.

"My two brothers."

Vonter gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Why?"

Facing such a determined Wundette, Arthur continued to ask.

"Because, in my father's will, I and those two guys have the same inheritance rights - Oak Manor, deposits and some properties in South Los, all divided into four, I own one of them, and my father The current wife owns one, and they were dissatisfied with this approach and had several quarrels with their father, which caused his father to fall ill and pass away."

Vontel lowered his thighs hard as he spoke, and there was a coldness in his red eyes that was familiar to Arthur.

That's murderous intent!

Seeing this killing intention, Arthur narrowed his eyes.

It is obvious that although this rich man is idle, he is not stupid.

At least, the other party knew to bring some bodyguards and hire some reporters before returning to Oak Manor.

Otherwise, the other party may not be able to come back.

Don't underestimate the power of money.

Faced with a brother they had never met before, who wanted to take away a large amount of money that belonged to them, it was strange that Vonter's two brothers were not murderous.

Of course, it would make sense if Vonter wanted to kill his two brothers.

But, it's definitely not that obvious.

It should be more subtle.

"what have you found?"

Arthur asked directly.

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you - I didn't discover anything, but someone mailed me a letter saying that my father was murdered!"

Vonter sighed and took the letter out of his pocket.

It was a very ordinary letter, without signature, just saying, 'Your father, Lord Doyle, died of murder! ’, apart from that, there is nothing.

"The letter was found in my carriage, and the driver didn't see anyone approaching. I don't know whether what is written on it is true or false, but I hope you can help me investigate the truth!"

Vonter looked at Arthur pleadingly.

Arthur pondered in his heart.

‘This letter led Vontel to come to me, plus the coincidence that I needed golden acorns before, couldn’t it be aimed at me? ’

'And Malinda...does she know about this? ’

His relationship with Vonter is not a secret, it can be found out after some investigation.

Instinctively, he wanted to give up.

Although he lacked golden acorns, he thought it would be safer to buy golden acorns instead of getting involved in the affairs of Oak Manor.

Who knows what's hidden inside?

But just when Arthur was thinking about how to refuse, the young man said directly——

"I'm willing to use half of my inheritance as commission!"
