This possibility is not small.
After all, in those three contracts, the recipient was 'Heimerke.' If it was the 'Heimerke' connected to the Enki Town evil god's descent, then he would certainly be capable of doing such a thing.
But if he caught Grizzly and the other, with his methods, he should be able to get my information, so why would he still leave such a message?
Wouldn't it be better to just come directly to me?
Lex suddenly touched his chest.
That's right, I'm wearing 'black night embrace,' which has the ability of secret. Perhaps because of this, the other party finds it difficult to ascertain my identity, which is why he needed to leave such a message.
But if that's the case, Nafi will also be in danger. She shouldn't have similar magical items, and she will be exposed to the other party's 'gaze'!
Lex raised his head again, having already made a decision.
"Call the Police Station."
When Bowen heard Lex say this, he almost couldn't believe his ears: "You think the police can solve this? We have to solve it ourselves!"
Lex said calmly: "In that case, we would fall into the other party's trap. His leaving such a message is undoubtedly a Provocation. He wants us to solve it like hunters, and if we do that, there will be more victims."
Bowen was stunned: "But what good will it do to hand it over to the police?"
"Handing it over to the police won't accomplish much, but it will alert the official Beyonder, and with their involvement, we will be safe. Of course, this will cause us some trouble."
Lex said emphatically: "But having trouble is better than dying."
It took Bowen a while to react: "What you said seems to make sense."
Of course, this is a basic operation.
"Then go call the Police Station. I'll clean up the traces and leave. Remember, don't go to the Police Station yourself," Lex instructed.
The balding man nodded: "I know how to handle it."
After Bowen left, Lex dealt with the places where the two had walked and the things they had touched. Of course, this method of handling could only fool the police; if official Beyonder were involved, they would likely discover something.
However, he had 'black night embrace' on him, so he didn't need to worry too much. Even if something was discovered, they would only treat him as an ordinary club hunter.
Next, he needed to make sure Nafi was safe.
Although Lex wasn't sure if the killer was Heimerke, or if what he wanted was the contract in his hand.
But it's always good to be careful. Grizzly and the other were already dead, and Lex didn't want anything to happen to the female warrior outside.
Walking out of the room, Nafi, who was waiting nearby, took two steps forward: "Boss Duke, inside..."
She had already guessed something; when Bowen came out earlier, his expression was far from pleasant.
Lex glanced at her: "Let's go back to the club first."
Elk Bar, club hall.
At the bar, Lex revealed his findings, and at the same time, frankly told Eiros about his handling of the situation and his conjectures about it.
"If Grizzly and the other haven't been doing anything outside recently, then this matter might be related to our previous two missions. We might have taken something we shouldn't have, which is why Grizzly and the others died so tragically."
Eiros nodded and said: "You handled it very well, and your judgment is very accurate. In this situation, if we insist on solving it like hunters, we are very likely to fall into a bigger trap."
"On the contrary, bringing the officials in can muddy the waters and make the other party restrain themselves. But you two will still be in danger. How about this, you two stay at the club for this period of time. I'll have someone prepare two rooms later."
Lex said in a deep voice: "Is that alright? Wouldn't that bring trouble to the club?"
Eiros smiled: "If the club can't provide its members with some protection, then who would be willing to stay here?"
"And with official involvement, our troubles will be much less. You two can stay here with peace of mind."
Lex looked at Nafi: "Then you should stay here tonight. Don't go back."
Nafi looked at him with a worried expression: "What about you, Boss Duke?"
"I can take care of myself, and I hope the other party will come to me proactively so I can completely resolve the trouble."
Lex said calmly. His confidence came from 'Projection of Status.' With this trump card, as long as he wasn't targeted by a Saint-level powerhouse, Lex believed he could solve it.
And if the opponent was truly Saint-level, he highly doubted whether they could move freely. They would probably be targeted by the officials as soon as they entered Tingen, right?
After giving a few more instructions to the Young Miss, Lex finally left. Watching his back disappear behind the door, Nafi's eyes were full of adoration.
"Boss Duke is so confident and handsome."
Eiros next to him started coughing repeatedly.
On monday morning, Lex woke up early. After what happened last night, he didn't sleep soundly.
Lying in bed, looking at the ceiling of the hotel bedroom, Lex sighed softly.
Although he wasn't deeply acquainted with Grizzly and the other, they had cooperated twice, and suddenly two living people died like that.
And they died so tragically, Lex couldn't imagine what kind of pain they had experienced before their deaths.
They were just ordinary hunters. If they were Beyonder, the deeper they delved into that mysterious world, the more risks they would bear.
"Only powerful strength can allow one to survive in this world."
Becoming even more certain of this, Lex got out of bed full of motivation. This morning, he still had to sign a contract with the homing pigeon company.
His investment plan was finally about to officially start. He hoped this plan could provide him with enough funds in the future, after all, the Dao of a Beyonder was a very expensive path.
After changing into formal wear and eating breakfast, Lex left the hotel.
He first went to pick up Kyle, and then headed to the homing pigeon company's branch in Tingen.
The staff of Max Investment Company were already waiting at the telegraph company branch. After meeting Lex, they were led by the reception Young Miss to the conference room on the second floor.
In the conference room, Luke Bruce, who was radiant today, put on his gold-rimmed glasses again, appearing refined and scholarly. When he saw Lex, he laughed heartily, opened his arms, and gave Lex a warm hug.
"Good morning, Mr. Lex. I hope today we can successfully sign the contract and begin our cooperation."
Lex showed a polite smile and responded: "That is what I hope for as well."
Next, Max Investment Company presented the contract that Lex had confirmed. The two parties discussed and adjusted each clause of the contract.
Around noon, after all the details were confirmed by both sides and the contract was reprinted, they proceeded to the signing stage.
Lex took out the fountain pen he had brought and signed his name on the contract. Just then, he heard a cough.
Luke Bruce covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said apologetically: "I seem to have caught a cold these past two days."
"You must take care of yourself."
Just in case, Lex activated his Spiritual Vision, expecting it to be a false alarm like last time.
But this time, he saw clearly that strange, faintly glowing smoke lingered around Luke. Within the smoke, blurry faces continuously appeared and then silently vanished.
