Layla let Wilbur stay on the line and sounds of rapid tapping on the keyboard could be heard from the phone. Around ten seconds later, Layla said, "I'm so sorry, sir. There's no information on the three cauldrons at the moment. They are probably in someone's private collection."
Wilbur expected the outcome, so he was not surprised. He continued to say, "Help me find out how many people are in touch with the cauldrons in recent years, then analyze who interacted with them the most."
"Got it."
Layla immediately understood what he meant. Since there were nine cauldrons, there was no doubt that the nine cauldrons were connected. Since they were connected, there was a high probability that someone collected the sixth, eighth, and ninth cauldrons together.
Therefore, all Layla had to do was find out who the collectors could be. Then, find out how to investigate them. Perhaps they could find the remaining cauldrons that way.
Soon, Layla could be heard from the phone, "Sir, from the information I gathered, only Mister Kearson and the Black Panthers have the longest interaction time with the ninth cauldron. If you want to find the ninth cauldron, I think you can start from them, sir."
"I got it."
Wilbur fell into deep thought after he hung up. Layla never gave wrong intel, so the Nine Dragon Cauldrons must be connected to the Black Panthers, it was not surprising to Wilbur. They worked for Fremont, after all.
However, he wondered why Kearson would be interested in the bronze cauldrons. He recalled that night he drank with Kearson. 'If he likes collecting Dasha bronze cauldrons, why would he allow himself to sell the bronze cauldron to me?' thought Wilbur.
Wilbur wondered if Kearson was a duplicitous person who acted differently behind his back. Regardless, he was in Korlyn, the capital of Rostead, so there was no harm in meeting Kearson again. Wilbur felt like it was very coincidental. He thought he would head to another nation immediately, but unexpectedly, he had to stay in Rostead for a while.
Wilbur had Kearson's number saved because they drank last time, so he called him right away.
