"Sir, the other party did not loot too many things, but they destroyed a lot. Preliminary estimates indicate that the loss exceeds one million gold coins!" A subordinate came to Haig seriously and respectfully, saluted, and reported the losses.
Haig¡¯s eyes flashed, and he murmured to himself without changing his expression: ¡°One million gold coins, hey, I¡¯d like to know who did it.¡±
As he spoke, he took steps. His calm and sinister demeanor was intimidating. What was even more frightening was that he was as cold as steel and had an extremely tough character. If he were placed in modern times, he would undoubtedly become a strong figure.
Arriving in front of his nephew, the murderous intent in Haige's eyes turned into love. He touched his nephew's pale face and shouted sternly: "We must save Loko at all costs!"
A handsome middle-aged man squatting in front of Roko stood up, and the grief in his eyes overflowed: "Brother, how can you let Roko do this work? Now that he has become like this, I"
Haig waved his hand fiercely, looked at his brother calmly and said: "Cobb, it was Rocko who asked to stay. If you don't want to help me, it's the same with Rocko helping me. No one can hurt us Douglas family members." If I don't pay the price, I will definitely catch the murderer!" Cobb Douglas was silent, looking at his brother, his eyes full of sorrow.
His eyes stayed on Cobb¡¯s face for a moment, and Haig couldn¡¯t help but shake his head slightly. Although he and Cobb are brothers, in the eyes of the outside world, Cobb is just an incompetent person who is only good at aristocratic life. In fact, Haig knew that Cobb was not without talent, but just unwilling to do things for the family.
Turning around and leaving the theater, he asked in a deep voice: "The garbage from the Security Department alone can't do anything. Have our people spread out? Let them find each other's whereabouts as soon as possible!"
The confidant who was following Haig quickly looked around and whispered: "Sir, do you want to send 'them'"
Haig's steps were as steady as if he had never been disturbed by anything. A complicated look flashed in his eyes: "No, they can't be exposed, otherwise they will definitely attract the attention of interested people. If they cause unnecessary trouble, they will ruin me." big event."
In the corridor, a thin middle-aged magician came over with a frown: "Sir, we haven't found any clues. There must be a master of tracking magic among the other party, and all traces have been erased!"
"Wein" Haig's expression flashed, and he remembered that there was a master of tracking magic called Hyde among Douglan's mercenary group, and Douglan had powerful force. Thinking of this, he asked in a deep voice: "Which of your colleagues can annihilate all traces?"
Wein is a master who is good at spiritual tracking magic. However, as a magician, the gap in strength between him and Hyde is obvious. He pondered for a moment and quickly gave the answer: "Among the people I know, Quins #Hyde, Oster #Kerry and more than ten people can do it without me noticing!"
Quince#Hyde Haig's eyes gradually brightened. Among these ten people, only three are currently in the imperial capital. One of them is a palace holy magician, the other is working for the Schroeder family, and the remaining one is Hyde. !
However, when he associated Cai Dao and Hyde together, he immediately thought that Dao#Glan's fighting spirit was invisible and colorless, but today's robbers had red fighting spirit. This seemed to be a contradiction. After thinking for a moment, he quickly made a decision: "Immediately send someone to monitor Dao #Glen and Quins #Hyde!"
The men took the order and left, but Haig fell into deep thought. He suspected that this robbery was not simple, and was probably a conspiracy against the Douglas family. Otherwise, why would the looters abandon some more valuable items, such as the painting by Gauba, which was worth at least one hundred thousand. Moreover, the looter not only looted some auction items, but also deliberately damaged some - if he knew that Cai Dao just pushed them aside without interest and caused damage, he would definitely go crazy.
He felt that this was probably a deliberate trap set by political opponents, most likely the Cage family who were competing in the empire. The Cage family, like the Douglas family, is a family with a very long history. It has experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years, and finally, like the Douglas family, gained a prominent position again a few decades ago. He serves as the Minister of Finance in the Voda Empire, and the head of the Cage family serves as the Minister of Military Affairs in the Empire. They are the two most prominent families in the current Voda regime.
However, he obviously guessed wrong. Maybe the Cage family really wanted to eradicate the Douglas family, but this time it was really not them. If Cai Dao knew that the simple Taoist method of the Qingniu Sect could have such an effect, and that he could mislead Haig by destroying the auction items, he would have felt very funny.
No matter how hard Wein tried, it was of no avail. The strength gap between him and Hyde could not be narrowed easily. In situations of equal strength, it is usually difficult to?Caught traces, not to mention there is still a strength gap between him and Hyde.
That night, the Douglas family¡¯s subordinates were jumping up and down in the city, but they didn¡¯t get any clues. Cai Dao, who had extensive experience in theft or robbery, did an excellent job in this regard, almost eliminating possible clues for the other party's pursuit.
When the detailed damage report came out, Haig¡¯s deep personality couldn¡¯t help but change his color. In this night, the Douglas family lost 1.3 million gold coins, which could even support a large army, equivalent to one-sixth of York's annual tax revenue. Such a huge loss is not easy for the Douglas family to bear even if it has a strong foundation.
The Douglas family's auction items suffered an unprecedented looting, and the Warda Empire was shaken. With the strength of the Douglas family, they were successfully robbed despite not having many opponents. The tyrannical strength displayed by the mysterious man made the emperor angry. If even the Douglas family can be easily attacked, what about the Royal Palace?
Haide and Cai Dao became the primary targets of suspicion, and everyone suspected them immediately. However, Cai Dao's "red fighting spirit" during the process quickly diverted everyone's attention, and even Hyde's suspicion was reduced a lot.
However, we all have to admit that Cai Dao is indeed very capable of causing trouble, and his ability to turn small things into big sensations is even more remarkable. From Perry, to Mecca, and finally to Wardha, he made a sensation wherever he went because of what he had done. He doesn't know what kind of big event will happen where he goes next time.
The next day at the empire¡¯s customary government affairs meeting, the unlucky chief of security was dismissed from his post in anger by Emperor Kaya. This was the second chief of security to be implicated by Cai Dao. Haig became the target of humiliation by the Minister of War. Although he received private comfort from the emperor, Haig was still deeply angry.
Is there any greater shame than this? The nephew was seriously injured and suffered over a million losses, including the loss of many masters. This is the worst incident that the imperial capital has encountered in the past twenty years, and its impact far exceeds that of Cai Dao's screams in the sky a few days ago.
No matter what the idea was, Emperor Kaya ordered the Security Department and City Guards to search for the mysterious looters across the country. Of course, the wanted orders issued by the emperor are usually of great concern to mercenaries. Once the wanted tasks can be completed, they will have the opportunity to enter the army or officialdom, which is what everyone hopes for.
After Haig returned home, he was not as angry as at the government meeting. He calmed down all his emotions. After pondering for a long time, the emperor seemed to be helping him by issuing a wanted order, but this forced Haig to at least take a consistent approach on the surface, so he decided: "Issue a mercenary mission!"
"Haig, maybe you shouldn't make a big deal out of it. It's already embarrassing for us!" Cobb didn't want his family to get involved in things that shouldn't be involved, and he didn't like his brother's style and methods of doing things. After learning the news, Objections were immediately expressed.
"Oh, then what do you think I should do?" Haig stared at his younger brother coldly and said with ridicule: "Like you, Roko almost lost his life and didn't want to take revenge. Do you just want to hide and lick his wounds? I'm not you , Cobb, you are too cowardly, so I am the parent, not you!"
Perhaps these words were too harsh. Cobb's expression changed several times, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart: "Haig, I just don't want to see you drag the family into the quagmire. In what you did, I even I can¡¯t see the family¡¯s future. Yes, I am cowardly, but I will not plunge the family into despair!¡±
Haig's face darkened and he stared at Cobb coldly: "You may not like me, but don't forget that I am your biological brother and we are all descendants of the Douglas family. Don't forget that Rocco believes in It's me, not you who are weak and do nothing. Everything I do now is for the family!"
Cobb looked at Haig with sympathy and sadness: "You are hopeless"
At this time, Cai Daozheng was fulfilling the terms agreed with the emperor in the Woda Palace Magic Academy and explaining non-fixed thunder and lightning magic and condensed formations to the holy magicians.
Frankly speaking, Cai Dao would definitely be happy to trade non-existent non-formal thunder and lightning magic and condensed formations. Even Qingniu couldn't help but admire his ability to deceive people. However, it would be too difficult for Cai Dao to explain these non-existent principles in front of the holy magicians.
To this end, he had to study with Qing Niu for a whole night before he finally figured out the magic principle that could deal with the past. And now, he faced the holy magicians who were hungry for the principles of magic. Under the attention of several pairs of eyes, he began to tell
