Mystery: But the Witch's Path

Chapter 108 Calling the Parents

Bishop Elektra was overjoyed to hear that there was information to be handed over, and chatted with him for a few more minutes.

After the visit, he mentioned another purpose of his trip: the "Sanctuary of the Church of the Night," the "Quiet Church in Wintershire," whose dispatched Extraordinary squad had already arrived in Backlund.

"Repairs and reinforcements will be carried out in batches according to the order of appointments, as well as the sealing of the family treasuries. The Sheffield family will be next in about seven days."

After the conversation ended, Elektra asked to leave, and Altair rose to see her off in person.

Watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Altair thought to himself, "This bishop is really frugal. He wouldn't even accept a private carriage as a farewell gift, choosing instead to pay for his own public transport journey."

"No, the Church of the Night won't reimburse me." No, I'll write to King George III later and request reimbursement. As for having no missions recently, how could I possibly have expenses for activities? I'll just have to try and make a quick buck first.

After returning to the manor villa, Altair casually found a spot in the living room and sat down.

This surprise attack gave Altair a reason to forcefully take control of the eastern district of Backlund, which he then used to his advantage.

Use this warm bed to nurture yourself —

According to normal procedures, we should start with a propaganda campaign to appease and notify the public, dispatch guards to the East District, and, in conjunction with the police department, use the pretext of an attack to sweep away the dissenting gang forces and acquire the territory we want.

No, we can't wage a propaganda war. The various factions in Rune won't allow Altair to expose the world of extraordinary beings. Moreover, if this kind of attack is exposed, it will damage the reputation of the "noble girl".

The acquired land in the eastern district cannot be registered under her own name.

After considering the general plan, Altair went to his study and began writing a letter to complain.

While writing, he complained, "You restless people in the East District, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky."

"Who allowed those extraordinary members of the Rose School to be so blind as to openly attack an underage noblewoman of the occult?"

"Now that I've transmigrated into a noble family, how can I possibly tolerate being bullied?"

"I certainly won't wrong myself. If I can't afford to offend someone, I can use my family connections to deal with them—I can call my parents—"

"Hmm~ Write it like this~~ Write it with a bit of grievance~ Add some psychological trauma~ And highlight my kindness~ and worry."

"Yes, yes, that's how it should be written."

"Dear Uncle Rafe."

"Zhan Xin'an."

"Last night I encountered something that left me feeling apprehensive and uneasy. After much deliberation, I dared not conceal it, and therefore I am writing to inform you."

"Last evening, during my free time, I went to Mr. A's gathering of extraordinary individuals. On my way back, I was suddenly attacked by a werewolf, an extraordinary individual from the Rose School. This person not only carried out a mission for the sect, but was also full of malice towards me and wanted to—"

"But thanks to the guards' desperate protection, the man was barely captured. Although I was not injured, I was so frightened by this sudden attack that I was still shaken to this day."

"I am ashamed to say that such rampant people are lurking in the heart of the Kingdom of Rune, the capital of the world, Backlund. Not only have they disturbed me, but I also fear that other people will suffer the same fate in the future."

"I know that Uncle Rafe has always protected his family and valued the family's reputation and local order. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of telling you about this matter, hoping that Uncle Rafe can send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter and punish the culprits."

"Simon Blanco, the head of the household guards, was also extremely indignant upon hearing of this matter. He has volunteered to participate in this effort, and we hope you will agree."

"This experience has made me realize the dangers of the world, and I also cherish the peace and stability of my family. I only wish my uncle all the best and good health. I await your reply and arrangements."

"Respectfully submitted by granddaughter Altair Sheffield"

After writing the letter, Altair put the information he had obtained from the interrogation into a gray envelope, sealed it with black sealing wax, and stamped it with the family crest.

Looking at the unadorned envelope in front of him, Altair couldn't help but reveal a mischievous smile.

He thought to himself, "Don't blame me, you started this whole thing."

During this period, the color of envelopes used for communication among nobles was also strictly regulated. For example: off-white or beige for daily greetings among relatives; light gray for family affairs and business negotiations; pale blue for women's correspondence; pale purple for correspondence to the royal family; and charcoal black or dark gray for family funerals.

Altair's use of a gray envelope with black sealing wax was undoubtedly a message: This attack nearly scared me to death—you must punish them severely!

After leaving the study and handing the letter to the messenger downstairs, Altair then went to inform Simon that he should follow Uncle Rafe's instructions and go to the East End to claim territory.

After Altair sent the letter, the security situation in the eastern part of Backlund improved significantly the next day. For example, previously arrogant and domineering ordinary gangs became targets of a crackdown.

For example, a short bounty hunter recently not only failed to receive any suitable bounty missions, but was also almost caught by the official extraordinary individuals, forcing her to rely on the financial assistance of a certain salted fish to make a living.

The various unusual gatherings in the East District were also urgently called off.

The witch cult attempted to incite gangsters to openly attack ordinary people dressed in unusual attire.

But no one expected that these ordinary people would dare to openly use high-powered weapons in the East District of Backlund, in front of the police station, and in front of the inspector.

After the beating, they'll call in the inspectors to clean up the mess.

April 8, 1347

In the early morning, after having breakfast with Vivian, Altair sat idly in the drawing room, passing the time.

At this moment, Altair deeply regretted writing and sending the letter he had written seven days earlier.

Although she did achieve her goal of "acquiring a piece of land of her own in the East District".

But she's currently unable to go out and take over territory because of the phrase, "In my spare time, I went to participate in A..."

"The gentleman's extraordinary party." As a result, she was also punished and required to stay home for a month.

The supervisor during the confinement period was Butler Hahn, who rushed back after receiving the letter.

Altair has used all her charm and authority as the head of the family to the fullest these past few days, but Hahn just won't let her go out to play.

Unable to vent his emotions, Altair could only go to the basement every day to study with the "werewolf" about the location of flesh and blood, the hardness of bones, interrogation methods, and whipping techniques.

Altair has tried all the familiar ways to play, from past lives to present lives.
