Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 207

[Chapter 206 The Beginning of the Secret Ritual (3400 plus)]

Two blocks away from the Duwei Detective Agency.

Detective assistant Derian has been in a good mood recently.

The ‘old man”s plan was a great success, and he received a considerable amount of gold pounds. He just completed all the formalities today and transferred it to his bearer account opened at the Royal Bank of Pulmouth.

“I’m going to resign today and let that Detective Duwei go to shit!”

“I’m going to Pulmouth to open a large detective agency. I’m going to start a new life!”

Derian was so excited that he didn’t even see the road clearly. , tripped over something and fell hard.

“Damn, my clothes?”

He was distressed to see the stains on the clothes he just bought, and looked angrily at the culprit that caused him to fall – a sparkling crystal!

The next moment, Derian wiped his eyes, with a look of disbelief on his face.

He swooped in with incredible speed, grabbed the shiny object in his hand, and scanned the surroundings like a thief.

Fortunately, there were few pedestrians around and no one noticed it.

Regardless of the pain and filth on his body, Derian quickly pulled up his collar, covered his face, and left the scene.

Turning into an alley, he glanced around to make sure there was no one there before he opened his palm and stared at the shiny thing about the size of his thumb.

“Diamond? Crystal? It’s worth at least a thousand pounds. If it’s a diamond… maybe the one on Inves’s crown isn’t as big as it!”

“It’s mine, it’s mine… mine… “

Baby!”

“Today is my lucky day!”

Derian quickly stuffed the diamond into his pocket and returned to the street. Everyone seemed to be the owner of it, and the next moment he would come over and grab him by the collar.

Fortunately, no one jumped out until they arrived outside the Duwei Detective Agency.

Derian couldn’t help but let out a long sigh and murmured to himself: “The ‘old man’ said that things must be done from beginning to end. I must find a suitable excuse to resign, otherwise once I abandon my job and salary without reason, it may arouse suspicion… Hmph “The old man is too cautious.”

The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, his eyes raised slightly, and he walked up to the second floor.

“Mr. Duwei, I want to resign.”

Derian dumped the resignation letter directly on Detective Duwei’s desk.

‘It’s so cool, I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. ‘

“Oh…” Detective Duwei smoked his pipe and asked slowly: “The reason?”

“I’m going to be prosperous, and I will become a more famous detective than you!”

Derian did not finish the compilation. The reason was spoken, but the corners of his mouth turned upward, revealing a contemptuous smile.

“Then I wish you success…” Detective Du Wei frowned: “In addition, according to the contract, if you resign this week, half of the previous week’s salary will be deducted, and I can only give you 1 shilling and 5 pence…”

“No need!”

Derian turned around and left: “You can use this money to give to beggars!”

Du Wei looked at his back, blew out a smoke ring, and his eyes became slightly darker.

But Adrian didn’t notice that there was a vague word in the spiritual world on the diamond in his pocket.

It means – [arrogance]!

…

[Arrogance] flashed quickly, then disappeared, and then another word in Spiritual World Language emerged.

Its meaning is – [Greed]!

As he walked on the street, Derian’s eyes gradually turned red and his breathing became heavy: “I…I seem to have suffered a loss. I should have received more during the previous allocation! Old Eugene gave me too little…that newsboy , why should he take as much as me? And that bitch Xili, she can only open her thighs…”

Derian’s emotions were fully aroused, but he himself was in a state of excitement, without knowing it. When I arrived at the public rental house that day, I knocked hard on the door.

No matter how long he knocked, there was no one inside the door. It was obvious that Old Eugene gave up here immediately after dividing the spoils.

And even the name ‘Old Eugene’ is very likely to be a pseudonym!

“Damn, damn!”

Derian kicked the door angrily and fled the scene before the landlord arrived.

As he ran, a scene automatically appeared in his mind.

——Old Eugene changed into a formal suit, dressed like a decent old gentleman, and checked into a luxury hotel. He was carrying a suitcase in his hand and had already purchased a train ticket to leave Green Forest City the next day. Or a luxurious first-class seat!

In Derian’s pocket, the word “Rage” flashed on the surface of the diamond.

“He’s in the Emerald Hotel, Room 309. He can’t escape.”

Derian muttered to himself and ran towards the direction of the hotel in the picture.

…

Emerald Hotel, Room 309.

After a banging sound on the door, the door opened, revealing the face of old Eugene.

He looked at Derian, a flash of panic briefly appearing in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

Old Eugene looked around cautiously and found that no one was following him, so he pulled Derian into the room and lowered his voice: “How did you find this place?”

He was really shocked!

“Old Eugene, I think my share is less. I want more, at least 800, no, 1,000 pounds!”

Derian gasped through his nostrils and clenched his fists: “I found you, you can’t run away

“Okay, okay, it can be discussed!”

Old

Eugene asked casually as he went to get the wallet. “How did you find me?

” .” Derian raised the corners of his mouth and answered with a strong arrogant accent.

“Well, maybe I was wrong before. You are an excellent detective. All my money is here…”

Old Eugene handed the wallet to Derian, with a cold look in his eyes.

The moment Adrian took the wallet, Old Eugene’s fingers moved quickly, and a blade appeared between his index and middle fingers, wiping across Derian’s neck.

Gulu, Gulu!

A large amount of blood poured out of Derian’s neck. He grabbed his neck desperately, but he could not stop the flow of blood and could not make a sound.

Eventually, he fell to the ground and turned into a corpse.

“You broke the rules, Derian!”

Old Eugene whispered coldly: “Because of your stupid idea, I have to change my identity again, damn it!”

He bent down, preparing to dispose of the body, and while searching the body , but with a change of expression, he took out a thumb-sized diamond from Derian’s pocket!

“This is…”

Old Eugene’s eyes were instantly attracted by the bright light of the diamond, and his fingers kept rubbing it: “My baby…”

His expression became a little confused, he hid the diamond close to his body, disguised himself, and walked out Hotel.

Originally, Old Eugene was prepared to stay away from the city immediately.

But the next moment, he passed by a garden and saw children playing and playing, and he hesitated for a moment…
