Waking up from a deep sleep, the day had already dawned. Neera stretched languidly, brimming with energy.
While freshening up, Daisy sent a message saying that breakfast was ready and asked her to come over to eat.
She went happily.
After finishing her meal, she bid farewell to Daisy, tucked her purple-gold card into her pocket, and headed straight for the library.
As he entered, Dirk was sipping coffee from a cup. One could tell from the aroma, it was the coffee beans she had given him yesterday.
“Hey, little missy! You're back again, huh? Your coffee beans are indeed excellent, but I still can't let you in.”
Neera frowned, snorted, and flashed her purple-gold card.
“This is the card Daisy gave me.”
Getting Daisy's card meant that Eugene had already agreed to let her into the library.
Deck understood and said with a grin, “That settles things, then. All right; go on in.”
He should not have said that, though. Neera got angry after hearing that and complained, “Do you have any idea how much I've sacrificed to get this done?”
Of course, Dirk had no idea.
But knowing Eugene as he did, he figured it wouldn't be that easy.
He made a helpless expression, watching the little girl huffily enter the elevator, then contentedly continued sipping his coffee.
Before long, the elevator arrived directly at the top floor.
Upon exiting the elevator, the first thing that greeted her were several towering bookshelves, standing tall and reaching all the way to the ceiling.
This place housed a collection of ancient medical books, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Neera had been fortunate enough to use someone else's purple-gold card in the past, which had allowed her to visit this place. She roughly knew the area where the medical book she was looking for was located, so she headed straight there.
She pushed a wooden ladder over and began to climb up and down, moving books.
There weren't a lot of people at the top as very few were qualified to make it up here.
Moreover, when there were no alliance meetings, many doctors are scattered around the world instead of idling in the alliance, so it was very quiet there.
Neera really enjoyed this feeling as she would be able to immerse herself peacefully in books.
Reading through these materials took up an entire day, and the same happened the next day.
Apart from eating and sleeping, she spent all of her remaining time here.
Though tired, the rewards have been substantial.
She found quite a bit of information about things like wugs.
In a manor far away in Essley.
In the two days that Neera was away, Jean was deeply concerned about her, and could only distract himself by immersing in work.
In the afternoon, after he had coaxed the triplets to take their nap, he went into the study as usual to get busy with his work.
At three o'clock, Storm and Ian suddenly arrived, interrupting his work.
“Sir, we haven't found any recent disturbances in the Phison. As for matters related to the wug, we haven't found any clues either,” Storm reported in, his expression somewhat apologetic.
From early on, Jean had anticipated that this matter wouldn't be so easily resolved, so he didn't blame them at all.
He nodded, saying calmly, “Understood. Keep investigating. Don't overlook even the slightest clue.”
Storm bowed deeply. “Yes.”
Next, Ian reported another matter.
“Regarding the black market, there have been some new discoveries. Recently, the members of the Ludrye mafia 'W' have been closely associated with the black market in Essley. Furthermore, the black market in Essley is also entangled with Asher. So, I suspect, they might have already guessed that Claude's disappearance is related to the young lady. According to reports from my subordinates, there have been suspicious individuals lingering around ANXIN Group these past few days. Presumably, they intend to harm Mrs. Beauvort.”
Upon hearing these words, the expression on Jean's face immediately turned gloomy.
It seemed that the 'W' mafia and the people from the black market posed a hidden threat.
Just like the previous incident when Neera was being hunted down, there was a high chance that it would happen again if they were not eradicated.
The thought of her being hurt, and the image of Midna pointing a gun at her head, was something he simply couldn't bear.
Ian thought the same and made a suggestion right away.
“Sir, should we take action now while Mrs. Beauvort is away? We could settle everything cleanly. This way, we can also prevent the young mistress from encountering any danger when she returns.”
Jean's voice was icy cold as he ordered, “It's time to deal with them. Notify Nightshade to bring a team over. Eliminate those who need to be eliminated, intimidate those who need to be intimidated. Let them know that there are some people they are not even worthy of going after!”
