The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5607

Ruby quickly pressed the answer button and said respectfully, “Hello, British Lord!”

The British Lord spoke in a somewhat gentle tone over the other end of the line and said, “Ruby, where are you now?”

Ruby frowned. She knew that carrying the cell phone given by the British Lord meant he could contact her at any time, twenty-four hours a day, and that he certainly knew her real-time location. However, despite knowing her location, the British Lord still went through the formalities of starting a casual conversation with her. It seemed like he wanted to get closer to her.

With that thought in mind, Ruby said respectfully, “I am currently still in the Far East.”

The British Lord hummed in response and asked her, “Have you found any clues in the Far East related to Vera?”

Ruby quickly replied, “British Lord, I am incompetent and haven't found any information related to Vera yet.”

The British Lord smiled and said, “Vera is very cunning. Not finding her is not a reflection of your incompetence.”

After saying that, the British Lord then said seriously, “Ruby, there is something I need you to take care of immediately.”

Ruby knew that these initial pleasantries were just a prelude to the real task at hand. So, she said without hesitation, “Please give the order, British Lord, and I will go all out to do my best!”

The British Lord said, “I want you to rush over to Aurous Hill as quickly as possible.”

Ruby was surprised and asked, “British Lord, do you want me to assist Mr. Chardon in Aurous Hill?”

The British Lord said coldly, “No. I want you to secretly monitor Mr. Chardon’s every move. I suspect he may have other intentions and second thoughts about the Qing Eliminating Society.”

The British Lord sneered, “Mr. Chardon did tell me the truth, but he only told me part of it.”

He continued, “He said that he obtained a passive magic instrument of unknown effect. However, when I checked his daytime trajectory, after he left Antique Street for the first time, he went to a secluded mountainous area in Aurous Hill where he stayed for dozens of minutes before he returned to Antique Street. I suspect he might have obtained some other offensive magic instrument!”

Ruby became even more puzzled, “British Lord, pardon me, but it's probably difficult to prove that Mr. Chardon obtained an offensive magic instrument based solely on the fact that he went to a rarely visited mountain, right?”

The British Lord coldly exclaimed, “It naturally cannot be proven by the movement trajectory alone. However, today, the Aurous Hill Meteorological Department suddenly issued an extreme weather warning today. The time the warning was issued was twenty minutes after Mr. Chardon arrived at the mountain!”

“Moreover, I just searched Aurous Hill’s domestic news and short video platforms. Many people are discussing the thunderstorm near Mount Phoenix in Aurous Hill this afternoon. According to many descriptions, the thunder was deafening, and many people have never heard such a loud thunder in their entire lives!”

“Coincidentally, the valley that Mr. Chardon went to is not far from Mount Phoenix in Aurous Hill!”
