Chapter 761: 242. Thirst for Knowledge_2


    Mut Pong is the head of the Pang family, and the first in line for inheritance.


    Dickler Fegan Pang, while seeking forgiveness from Selena, donated 7.9 million gold coins to the Deep Sea Branch.


    This 7.9 million gold coins is not the private property of Dickler Fegan.


    It is the property of the Pang family.


    It should have been delivered to Mut Pong by Dickler Fegan on a regr basis, but was misappropriated as apensation for his own sins and given to the Deep Sea Branch.


    Nnd Lee told Selena to pass on the matter of Dickler Fegan’s misappropriation of family funds to Mut Pong in hopes of using the financial system and management structure within the Pang family to hit back at Dickler Fegan.


    Mut Pong’s reply is rted to this matter.


    “Are you sure the letter is personally written by Mut Pong?” Nnd Lee picked up the envelope and examined the letter inside:


    “It’s not that Mut Pong had his housekeeper write a letter just to appease us, is it?”


    “I can confirm that this is personally written by Mut Pong.” Selena nodded:


    “Furthermore, the content of the letter is as you spected. Mut Pong is very angry about Dickler Fegan’s embezzlement of family funds. He not only demands Dickler Fegan transfer this 7.9 million family fund ahead of time, but also sent a trusted follower to closely monitor Dickler Fegan on the Suman Archipgo.”


    Nnd Lee nced at the content of the letter, smiling slightly:


    “Very good, the first step of the n has been sessful.”


    “Hmm? What n?” Selena asked in some confusion:


    “The one to drive away Dickler Fegan? Or the n to control him?”


    Nnd Lee simply smiled without reply, shaking his head, then saying:


    “Until the n seeds, I dare not reveal it. You only need to do your job, Selena.”


    This was the principle of “use the hidden dragon sparingly and keep it a secret”.


    Nnd Lee, having lived two lifetimes, understands this very well.


    Before the n forms a trend and is in an unstoppable stage, all news rted to the n will be blocked off by Nnd Lee, with only him knowing the details of the n.


    Selena threw him a nce:


    “Well, alright. All mysterious. So what do we do next? Return a portion of the ransom, show some grace, gain the favor of Mut Pong, or?”


    Nnd Lee waved his hand:


    “No, we don’t do anything. You wait for mymand.”


    “Alright.” Selena scrutinized Nnd Lee, feeling that he wasying out a game that she didn’t understand.


    “Who is the second letter from?” Nnd asked, eyeing the table.


    Selena pushed the letter forward:


    “It’s from the ‘zing Queen’, the matriarch of the Farrell n. This is a personal letter from her.”


    ‘zing Queen’ is Sienna’s maternal grandmother.


    Sienna’s full name is Sienna Nobus Pang.


    She is the only living heir of a branch of the Nobus family.


    Her father, that is, Nobus Pang, married the ‘zing Queen’s’ younger daughter and had Sienna.


    Sienna’s mother was initially supposed to marry Dickler Fegan after he came of age, but her father intervened at a banquet and ultimately became Sienna’s mother.


    For Fagen Pang to secure his position from Sienna’s father, he manipted events leading to the death of Sienna’s parents.


    The ‘zing Queen’ is unaware of the true cause of her daughter’s death, knowing only that it was an ident, leaving her granddaughter Sienna with only the old housekeeper Keda as herpanion.


    Nnd had previously sent a letter through Selena to the ‘zing Queen’, hinting that Dickler Fegan might know the truth behind her daughter’s death by ‘ident’.


    Now, it was time to see the ‘zing Queen’s’ reply.


    Nnd Lee unfurled the letter, reading its contents.


    There were only two words on the letter:


    “Read.”


    Ha, what a sinct and explicit letter it was.


    Nnd Lee chuckled, thinking that this ‘zing Queen’ is indeed an exceptional figure.


    She dispensed with all the greetings and polite words, resulting in the absence of any borate formalities that are typical among wizard families in this personal letter.


    Nnd refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope:


    “The ‘zing Queen’s’ style is indeed as straightforward and decisive as the rumors indicate. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to witness the demeanor of this queen.”


    “Then you’ll have to go to the Farrell Family’s territory. You might even get to see the ‘zing Queen’s’ true face at their grand annual festival.”


    As she spoke, Selena pushed the third letter across:


    “This is a personal letter from Lape Chanal. I invited him in the Deep Sea Branch’s name to have a secret discussion about the recent events at sea and form joint strategies. He epted my invitation and cane to my study for a secret talk at any time.”


    Nnd Lee opened the envelope and read the letter:


    “Very well. I will take full responsibility for helping Lape Chanal investigate the traitors within his family. You just need to back up myw enforcement when the timees. If there are no issues, we can meet with him tonight.”


    Nnd nced at Selena, who was about to speak, and cut in first:


    “Don’t worry, I’ll try to leave a few alive and won’t wipe them all out.”


    These words were in line with Selena’s intentions, so she switched gears and said:


    “…Yes, I wanted to say that. It would be best if you could spare the life of a high-level Undertow spy. That way, the Deep Sea Branch might have a chance to extract information about the spy’s superiors.”
