In this generation, only he and his younger brother Schubert still valued the family glory.

But no matter how capable they are, they are powerless in the face of such a dilemma!

Especially recently, that damn fat pig from Winter has been urging him, saying that if he continues to delay, he will lose business opportunities.

That’s none of his business!

The current situation is not that he does not want to solve it quickly, but that Yuya Lawrence really has no idea where she has gone. Although Mondstadt is not big compared to cities in other countries, and it is not difficult to carry out some work, there are only a few exits in the city, and all of them are guarded by the Knights Templar.

Every one of the people he sent out these days was either caught or escaped.

Brother Schubert was powerless. Not to mention finding out where the person was, he would be pelted with rotten eggs if he walked on the street.

The stench hasn't dissipated until now!

The more Weiss thought about it, the angrier he got, and his fingers tapped the tabletop harder and harder.

But at this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, and the voice of the head maid also came.

"Master Patriarch, Mr. Yegor hopes to meet with you——"

"Let him..." Weiss wanted to yell at him to get out of here, but considering that he still had to discuss business, he tried his best to suppress his emotions and said in a deep voice, "Let him go to the living room. I'll be there right away."

However, before the head maid could answer, the door was pushed open and Yegor was standing outside. His round body made it impossible for him to fit through the door, and his expression was filled with anger.

"Weiss, you broke your promise again!"

He pointed with his thick fingers and questioned loudly.

"A month ago you told me that the Lawrence family could handle this problem, but a week has passed and there is no result. At that time you told me that I should have the patience that a noble should have, so that I can be a good adoptive father to Youya, and I agreed!

However, two weeks have passed, and when I asked you again, you said that something went wrong with the plan, and it has not been resolved until now!"

Yegor was obviously very angry. He tried to squeeze into the door, but was stuck again. Then, as Wes's eyes twitched, he used brute force to push the door frame open, stepped in, and glared at him condescendingly.

"When will my adopted daughter be able to come back? I don't have that much time to waste in this leaky castle!"

Facing his angry questioning, Weiss spread his hands, showing helplessness.

"Then I'm afraid I can only ask you to go back first, my dear friend."

"What?! Go back! Just return empty-handed? Are you taking me for an ass?!"

"No, it was the Knights who were playing with us like fools. My people had already fully exchanged views with them and told them that as long as they returned Yuya, they could set any conditions, but they still refused to cooperate.

He even secretly investigated my informants and didn’t want us to conduct further investigation—"

Weiss pursed his lips and motioned Yegor to look at the letter on the table.

"It's obvious that they have long coveted Lawrence's noble bloodline and will never give up easily."

"So what are you going to do? If you don't come up with a plan today, I think our friendship will end here!"

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but my people are already keeping a close eye on them. And think about it carefully. If they really just went to live in someone's house, is it possible that they have been hiding until now without any news?"

Pinching his temple, Wes motioned to Yegor to sit down and talk slowly. Although Yegor was unhappy, he sat down anyway and almost crushed the chair.

"Then have you asked someone to go to the timber market or ask the carpenter? If Xiao Youya wants to live there, she'll need a wheelchair, right?"

"Yes, but the results are still not optimistic. This month, all of them are bed boards, tables, training dummies and other things for the Knights. No one asked for wheelchairs—"

"Damn it! How could they treat my little Youya like this? Could it be that they put her in jail..."

"I think this is the only possibility. Otherwise, there should be some news."

Weiss tried his best to put on a sad expression, but Yegor curled his lips, then stood up as if he had thought of something.

"What about your daughter? If I remember correctly, she's missing too, right?"

"Ah... She, this unfilial daughter, is in the process of rebellion and is giving me, as a father, a headache."

"Is there any news about her?"

"Uh... yes, she did, but she went to the snowy mountains alone to participate in our family trial."

This surprised Yegor a little. He asked, "So you let her go up like this?"

"After all, she has the God's Eye of Ice, and has received higher education from the Lawrence family since she was a child. I don't think the snowy mountains can trap her. It's better to say..."

Weiss's expression became even more helpless.

"I'm afraid that when she comes back, I won't be able to sit firmly in my position as the clan leader."

"Then you are really inferior." Yegor said bluntly: "You are not even as good as your own daughter."

"...Mr. Yegor, I think this is an insult to a father who loves his daughter."

"Pfft, okay, okay - you just love to do this." Yegor waved his hand, and then his eyes between the slits of flesh had a gleam of success: "I think Xiao Youya will definitely not treat me like this."

"You have to find her first." West frowned.

"What if I can find her?"

"I agree to reduce the original contract by 20%."

"Thirty percent. After all, this has to take into account the time you wasted on me. Time cannot be bought with money, my friend."

Yegor stood up, said this lightly, and squeezed out of the door again.

"Well, wait for my good news. Weiss, the unreliable one—"

Wes did not express his opinion on this. He did not think that Yegor could find the other party so easily. In the final analysis, he just couldn't wait and wanted to try to go down and see for himself.

If he didn't let this stupid bear hit his head and bleed, he would really think Mond was easy to bully. Besides, he also had his considerations.

Chapter 56 Seemingly Useless Efforts

Yegor actually brought a guard with him on this trip.

As a general rule, this kind of protection is mostly provided by local gang members or adventurers.

After all, they often offer lower prices, don't mind more cooperation, and are familiar with such things.

However, Yegor relied on his relationship with the executive officer to borrow four Fatui soldiers, all of whom were strong and skilled.

They are -

Mr. Thunder Hammer, who serves as the vanguard, is very strong. After charging, he can smash the hillock people blocking his way into two small pancakes with one hammer, along with the hillock and shield.

Miss Lei Ying, who serves as the assassin, is small in stature but loud in voice. The lightning fireflies she releases can harass the enemy in all directions at 360 degrees, and she is elusive in a fight.

The musket guy who serves as the shooter is very good. As long as he aims, he can turn into a wooden stake. He doesn't have to worry about crows as long as he puts it in the field.

The Water Gun Fatty plays the supporting role. He is very good at eating. Although he doesn't understand what it means to eat and then spray it out as healing energy, he is indeed reliable.

Due to special reasons, he did not know the names of these four people, and they all asked to be called by their titles, so Yegor did not force it.

After taking these four with him, he set out from Lawrence's house and came to Mond City.

Make tactical plans while you are on the road.

"The purpose of our trip is to rescue my adopted daughter. She might be imprisoned by the Knights. So I need one of you to commit a minor crime, get arrested, and help me check the situation. I will also be responsible for getting the person out later."

Yegor looked at the four people and asked.

"Which one of you is going?"

"Mr. Yegor, you know me well. I never bully the weak."

The leader, Mr. Lei Chui, compared his height. His nearly two-meter-tall stature and muscular body made him look like someone who would not commit a petty crime. He looked like a good bank robber.

"And with my physique, I'm afraid it will not end well."

Yegor looked at Miss Lei Ying again.

"You know me well. With my habits, I can easily lose control and steal the wrong person."

She used to be a pickpocket, but was later caught and sent to a military camp for reform.

Although she is much better now, if she were really thrown among a bunch of fat sheep, she would definitely not be able to control herself.

The first time Yegor met her, she controlled Lei Ying to steal someone's wallet. She was the kind of person who could be sent back for retraining without any problem.

Then he looked at the musket boy who seemed relatively reliable in the team. He was arrogant and immediately crossed his arms across his chest.

"Don't worry, I will do it safely and no one will come forward to file a complaint."

"No, I want you to find someone." Yegor slapped his forehead and said, "It would be best if you can find out the situation clearly and then bring the person out to me."

The fire gun guy immediately spread his hands and said awkwardly: "This, this major is not suitable. I know how to kill people, but I don't know how to save people."

Before Yegor could answer, the last fat boy with a water gun said happily.

"Hey, I can! I can save people."

"It's not just about saving people... Never mind. Anyway, just come if you want to. Go to the city, find a small stall, and order the most expensive food. You don't have to do anything else. Just smile and wait for the knights to come."

"Do I need to be taught such a simple thing? Mr. Yegor, you don't think I'm stupid..."

The Fatty Water Gun asked in a muffled voice.

"No, you are the most reliable one in the team!"

Yegor patted him on the shoulder and winked at the other three.

When the eldest brother was the first to respond, he looked very serious, as if he had been given an impossible task.

The second sister also patted him on the back with a smile and took his wallet. The third brother's one eye outside the mask saw this scene, but did not expose it. He just nodded coldly.

The easy-to-appease Fatty Water Gun nodded happily. After arriving in Mond City, Yegor took them straight to the Goethe Hotel.

They booked a room first, and then asked the fat man to go out to work, while the other three went to gather information. (The second sister and the third brother went out to have fun, while the eldest brother was sketching)

In response to the appearance of the Fatui, the Knights assigned a group of people to follow them, but after discovering that they were simply strolling or taking pictures, they dispelled some of their concerns and only the secret sentries were left to observe.

Fatty Water Gun came to an ice cream store, raised a finger to the owner, then pointed at the ice cream ball and made a five.

The other party nodded and made five scoops of ice cream and handed them to him as he had expected.

"It's so easy. Who says you have to learn foreign languages ​​to be a diplomatic envoy? Hehe, I am considered a high-level talent in my hometown now."

Lifting his mask a little, Fatty Water Gun licked the ice cream ball, and the shopkeeper didn't rush him. Instead, he looked at his outfit in amazement.

Although Water Gun Fatty didn't understand what was said, it didn't stop him from smiling back.

After finishing the ice cream, he subconsciously reached for his wallet at his waist, and then was stunned.

"Uh... my pink piggy wallet is missing?"

He looked around but didn't see any trace of the wallet, but the owner had observed enough and stretched out his hand towards him, making a Mora gesture.

This immediately made Water Gun Fatty fall into deep thought.

After thinking fruitlessly, he took a step forward. His fat body blocked part of the sunlight, casting a shadow. The young shop owner was startled and subconsciously put his hands on his face.

However, it took him a while to realize that the other party had shown four fingers and various colored ice cream balls.

(Since we are going to be caught, we might as well eat as much as we can.)

He thought so simply, and it wasn't just this side that was affected. The snack shop nearby was also not spared. The same routine worked every time.

After getting the food, he sat down on the sidewalk and started eating, while the shop owners looked puzzled.

Until another little girl appeared. She had brown hair, wore goggles that didn't match her face shape, and was sweating and panting.

I was shocked when I suddenly saw this fat boy with a water gun sitting on the side of the road.

"Wow?! It's so big!"

Her exclamation attracted the attention of Fatty Water Gun, and then he smiled silly, which made Amber lower her guard a little and walked towards the ice cream shop behind him.

"Brother Ellie, I want two ice creams, both with chocolate balls!" After saying that, she asked, "Also, who is this?"

"You mean him? He looks like one of the Winter Fatui. He's been buying food here since a while ago, but he hasn't paid yet. I'm a little worried that he might be eating a free meal."

The young shop owner handed her the ice cream, then propped up his cheek and looked over there.

"As expected, it would be better to notify the Knights to come, right?"

While Amber was looking at him curiously, a team of patrolling knights came running over from a distance.

It seemed that they were there to resolve the dispute. After all, they were members of a foreign military organization and it could easily turn into a diplomatic incident. So the knights were relatively friendly. After learning that the other party's wallet was lost, they simply took him back to the Knights Templar without fighting.

The Fatty Water Gun didn't understand what he meant, he just knew that it seemed like the task was done, so he just followed obediently.

After watching for a while, Amber felt a cold sensation on her fingers, and the ice cream ball was about to slide off while she was eating the watermelon.
