"Let's go down. We'll have to face it sooner or later."

The group came downstairs and Merillu opened the door. Standing outside the door was indeed Sas, the guy with a smug smile on his face, and a receptionist from the Adventurer's Guild.

Lisha recognized this receptionist. She was the older receptionist she had seen at the window when delivering tasks several times before.

"Everyone, I think one day is enough time for you to say goodbye. I'm here to pick up my niece now. Do you have any objections?"

There was no sign of Thaz's smile of success disappearing as he raised his head and looked down at everyone except Merilu.

"Lucy doesn't even want to go with you!"

Lisha yelled at Satsu angrily.

"Miss Adventurer, I think you are just prejudiced against me. I am actually a very enthusiastic person."

Sassu stared at Lisha with a smile.

Although Sas is tall and handsome, his gloomy temperament makes him look very dark.

Although he can use the power of the fire element, this person doesn't seem sunny at all.

Perhaps only the violent temperament is consistent with the explosive nature of the fire element.

"You've been abusing Lucy!"

Lisha pointed at Sassu and said affirmatively.

"Oh? Then please let my poor niece come out and identify me. Or I think if it is really as you said, she should at least have scars on her body, right? This can be seen at a glance, so let Lucy come out."

It seemed as if Thaz was certain that Lucy would not show up, and his words were extremely arrogant.

"Or did you lose the child?"

"Mr. Thaz, I suppose you wouldn't mind if we spent another day with little Lucy?"

With a formal smile on her face, Xi Ruiya suddenly stepped forward and asked Shaz.

"It seems that child is really loved."

There was something wrong with Sas's tone when he said this.

Shiriya actually saw a hint of jealousy in Saz's expression.

"According to Mr. Thaz, you found his niece and protected her, right?"

At this time, the receptionist spoke.

"That's it."

Shiriya nodded.

"Mr. Sazi has presented proof to the Guild. The Guild can prove Mr. Sazi's identity. This Mr. Sazi is indeed Sazi Kallis of the Kallis family. So please return Mr. Sazi's niece to him as soon as possible."

The receptionist took out her ID and said expressionlessly.

"Well, we did doubt Mr. Thaz's identity before, so we didn't trust him very much. Now that we have the guild's proof, we will naturally return Lucy to her uncle."

Ilsa held down Lisha, who was clearly angry, and spoke softly.

"In that case, you continue."

When the receptionist heard what Ilsa said, she took a step back and indicated that she would not interfere. It seemed that she really came just to prove Saz's identity.

"You said you were Sassi Kalis, right?"

Lisha rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.

"Then how do you prove that Lucy is your niece?"

"What proof do I need that Lucy is my niece?"

Satsu was stunned by Lisha’s words.

"Your identity has been confirmed by the guild. We all know that you are indeed Sazi Kalis. So here comes the question. Although the child we picked up is named Lucy, there are so many girls named Lucy. How can you prove that she is indeed your niece? We need clear proof."

As soon as Lisha said this, Ilsa and Shiriya looked at her with surprise.

How can I describe Lisha's move? It was just she was being shameless.

But at this time, this is the only trick that works best.

Saz was also a calculating person, so he quickly figured this out.

"Didn't the child respond to me when we met yesterday? Let her come down and I can prove it."

Sas frowned.

He usually does this, but he didn't expect that he would be outmaneuvered this time.

"No! Who knows if you will come up with some tricks! Children are very fragile and will easily follow others once they are frightened."

Lisha waved her hands repeatedly, looking as if she was unwilling to let Lucy face Thaz.

"My dear adventurer, if I remember correctly, you just said that Lucy didn't want to go with me, and that I have been abusing Lucy, right?"

Seeing Lisha's firm attitude, Satsu changed his words.

"It seems that what you said can only be established on the basis that Lucy is my niece."

The corners of Sas' mouth rose.

"So are you going to admit that you've been abusing Lucy?!"

Lisha said to Satsu sternly.

At the same time, she glanced at the receptionist who was standing motionless next to her.

"I don't think the guild will ignore such behavior, right?"

"If what the adventurer Lisha said is true, then the guild will investigate Saz and his family."

The receptionist said in a serious voice.

"Well, it seems I might have made a mistake."

Sas didn't insist. He spread his hands and put on a sad expression.

"Please forgive my impatience. I am just heartbroken to think that my poor niece is still missing."

Saz's tone was sad, but there was a hint of smile in the corner of his eyes.

"It seems that I can only continue to look for my poor niece. I hope the guild can also help find her. I will issue a commission."

"no problem."

The receptionist said in a businesslike manner.

"In that case, I will leave first. After all, I really can't bear my poor niece wandering around. I hope she can return to the embrace of the family as soon as possible."

Thaz left through the gate of Dragon's Breath with false sadness.

"You should pay more attention."

The receptionist gave a reminder and left Dragon's Breath.

“Phew~ Great job, Lisha!”

This time, Shiriya looked at Lisha with a new respect.

I didn't expect Lisha to have such quick wit.

"Haha~ Actually, I just had an idea."

Lisha laughed.

In fact, she never thought that this method could fool Saz. It was Youze's idea and she just followed it.

"It seems that Lucy is indeed in his hands."

Ilsa also confirmed this at this time.

"Why do you say that?"

Ailan didn't quite understand why Ilsa was so sure.

"Because he didn't continue to pester me but left calmly."

Yes, in Ilsa's opinion, Saz did not retreat because of Lisha's threat, but left calmly.

"If Lucy really just left us and didn't return to Thaz or get caught by him, Thaz should be more anxious than us now. After all, although we don't know what use Lucy is to him, on the surface, Lucy is very important to Thaz. Don't forget that Thaz gave up his family business alone to look for Lucy. If Lucy is not important to him, he would at most send someone to show his appreciation. Even if Lucy died outside like this, it would be beneficial to him. After all, Lucy is the only blood of his brother, and his brother is the true legitimate heir of Calis. If Saler hadn't died, it would not be Thaz's turn to inherit the position of the head of the Calis family. I think there should be some people in the Calis family who support Lucy, such as Saler's diehard fans."

Shiriya continued to explain after Ilsa's words.

She knew all this too well, after all, she was originally one of them.

"So to sum up, Lucy is definitely in Thads' hands."

"That would be troublesome."

Ilsa fell into deep thought.

"As long as Thaz finds an excuse in a few days that there is an emergency in the family and leaves, he can really take Lucy away. After that, he just needs to send his trusted followers here to continue searching for the non-existent Lucy."

"So we have to find out where Lucy is as soon as possible, right?"

Lisha said she understood.

“That’s a problem, too.”

Shiriya pursed her lips.

"First of all, I can't leave Dragon's Breath. I think everyone knows why. And Freya can't leave either in order to protect me."

"Secondly, Lisha, Ilsa, Merilu, and Ailan can't act separately easily. It's best for them to search together, but this will greatly reduce the efficiency, and it will also be very conspicuous, which will make Saz guard against it."

"What should we do?"

Lisha scratched her head.

She was not good at this kind of thinking, so Lisha turned her gaze to Ilsa.

"Don't look at me. This is an open conspiracy. There's no point in having any strategies or anything like that."

Ilsa explained to Lisha.

"Saz is a gold-level professional. None of us are his match, so the most we can do is look for her in White Rock Town or other towns. But Saz can hide Lu in the Clan Forest. In that case, few people will be able to find her. After all, the Clan Forest is very large. If he can disguise himself well enough, he can even hide Lu in the White Tower. In that case, we really won't be able to find her."

“And facing a gold-rank professional, who among us do you think can go it alone? Probably only you, Lisha, but you can only run away from the gold-rank, not fight him.”

"But if we gather together, the search efficiency will be too slow. But if we issue a mission, it will be impossible. After all, Thaz said that he would issue a commission to find Lucy. What's the point of us issuing it? Are we admitting it ourselves?"

"You guys search the town, I'll go to the Clanda Forest alone!"

Lisha said firmly.

“Lisha! Now is not the time to be brave!~”

Ilsa put a hand on Lisha's shoulder.

"You are only at the Silver level. If you really find Lucy, then Thaz will probably be waiting for you there. With your current strength, you can certainly run away after showing your trump card, but if Thaz is alerted, Lucy will really be impossible to save. We will never have a second chance to find him."

"I have a bad feeling that if Lucy is not found before dawn tomorrow, something very bad will happen."

Lisha has always believed in her intuition, especially after she gained the ability of Revelation, the guidance of the world made her intuition more sharp and accurate.

"Saz will not bring Lucy into the White Tower. Compared to bringing a child into the strictly inspected White Tower, a place like the Clan Forest is the most suitable place to hide."

"But it is not ruled out that the guy hid Lucy in the town."

Shiriya spoke up.

"So I hope you can quickly check White Rock Town."

Youze and Lixia said that Black Jade Town was impossible because Black Stone Fortress was there. Glory Town was the territory of the Eight Great Churches, and Saz didn't dare to go there. Clear Spring Town was the territory of many large adventure groups, elves, and orcs, and a human child would be too conspicuous there.

Therefore, only the mixed place of Baishi Town is most suitable for Tibetans. Moreover, as the first town built in the Baita area, Baishi Town has many dark corners, including winding alleys like a maze and a huge sewer system that is so complicated that people can get lost.

It is easy to hide anyone in a place like this, even a conspicuous child.

And what Lisha said about asking Ilsa and the others to search was not really relying on the strength of the three of them, but relying on Olivia's reputation to mobilize those local adventurers to look for Lucy.

"Borrowing sister Olivia's reputation?"

As soon as Shiriya heard it, she understood what Lisha was thinking.

"That's all."

"...be careful and think before making any decision."
