The man with the crane mask listened to what they had to say. But after hearing the reason they called because they wanted to complete a task from the city lord, the man who was also Lu Chen shook his head. "It's almost impossible for me now but why are you guys insisting on helping heal people in the city lord's residence instead?" This question was not just an ordinary question for Lu Chen. It was important to listen and judge for oneself while looking for any merit in one's own actions. But seeing how they treated the task from the city lord as an advantage if successful, naturally made Lu Chen with the crane mask almost agree.
"So, the reward turned out to be pretty good? No wonder you guys are eager to solve the city lord's problem, but what happened to the city lord is not an ordinary thing in general. Even with my current abilities, it's hard to help the city lord!"
Hearing Lu Chen also couldn't possibly succeed they immediately showed troubled expressions, "Is that so? Is there no way to solve this problem? Even if it fails, there will be no problem with the city lord, but still the store's reputation is at stake in this job!"
Actually, even if they fail, no problems will occur, but as a big store in the entire kingdom. If it was because of them that the store's reputation decreased, perhaps the central people would come to give them punishment or demotion. That's what made them all afraid, Lu Chen seeing how sad their expressions were couldn't help shaking his head. They should have realized, instead of promising to help, it was better to say that this was an impossible thing to do. Actually Lu Chen himself had been investigating the same matter for these few months, but Lu Chen did not find anything strange in the victims. Lu Chen had also tried to cure the victims but his research had failed miserably at that time. Naturally upon hearing they all wanted to help the city lord solve the problem that occurred in the city lord's residence, Lu Chen was slightly surprised.
"Alright, tell me who the victims are in the city lord's residence? Don't say it was a servant of the city lord himself, because there's no way he would come to you guys just because of a servant!" Tian Sen's assertion that suddenly became a bit stronger made everyone from the shop fall silent. They scratched their heads, turned their heads to the side or avoided Lu Chen's gaze indirectly because they wanted to keep the victimized person there a secret.
Lu Chen smiled, after some time of waiting there was no answer. Finally Lu Chen stood up to prepare to just leave the store because there was no definite answer from the tall people in the store. Those who saw Lu Chen about to leave flocked to ask him to sit down, only for Lu Chen to insist on leaving if they still hid the identity of the victim in the city lord's residence. Lu Chen assumed they didn't want to cooperate with him anymore, so with a little threat they immediately fell silent for a while before finally promising to tell Lu Chen the identity of the person. After knowing who the victim was, Lu Chen's expression became unnatural and not very friendly to all of them.
"Actually the one who is sick is the daughter of the city lord, that's what she said!"
Lu Chen was silent, the daughter of the city lord? Lu Chen had never heard that the city lord had a daughter. But seeing how they were all serious and afraid of him, made Lu Chen a little convinced and believing. Of course it was on the outside, but if it was inside Lu Chen's own heart, did not believe the city lord who mentioned a daughter was sick. Because the city lord never had a princess, it was a common thing in the city regarding their city lord. Of course if the city lord said this was a secret mission there was a possibility that the princess in question was the city lord's secret daughter. Or perhaps someone so important that not just anyone could come try to see the child the city lord was referring to.
Lu Chen tapped his index finger against the chair hand a few times, this was indeed a good thing for his future in assisting the shop. But, meeting the city lord made Lu Chen a bit heavy, it was because Lu Chen was afraid of his identity being seen by the city lord. That's why for a while Lu Chen hesitated, "take it easy young master, we can help you to hide your face. So I'll make sure that no one can see your face including the city lord!"
So firmly one of them offered an artifact that could cover the aura as well as the face. So that Lu Chen would not have to be afraid to go anywhere with the artifact. "Alright, if it can be a useful tool to keep my identity from being discovered. I want to try to see for myself how the illness of this city lord's daughter is!"
Hearing that Lu Chen was willing to help, made them all very happy. They started planning to go meet the city lord tomorrow and Lu Chen also promised to meet them tomorrow in front of the city lord's house. After finalizing the deal with the leader of the big store, the disguised Lu Chen left the store through the back door. From there after exiting the alley, Lu Chen took off the mask as well as changed clothes to the ordinary clothes used by Lu Chen everyday.
But within a few meters after coming out, Lu Chen showed a displeased expression when he saw a woman and a man in a pair with several bodyguards standing guard behind the two coming towards Lu Chen. Of course Lu Chen wanted to avoid contact with those two people but who would have thought that they were the ones looking for trouble directly with Lu Chen. Even though Lu Chen himself had avoided and no longer wanted to deal with them. The woman holding a man's hand was none other than Lu Chen's ex-fiancee.
"Ho? Look at this, it's young master Lu who has been dumped by his fiancée. Hahahahahaha!" The laughter from the man made Lu Chen become a little angry. If not considering there were still things to do, Lu Chen had long wanted to avoid this woman who was like an outsider.
But unexpectedly the former fiancée still wanted to make trouble with him. If there was a worst time, this was the worst time for Lu Chen. Lu Chen just wanted to leave, but how could the couple just let him go. The arrogant young Tian gave orders to his subordinates to surround Lu Chen to prevent him from escaping. So Lu Chen's expression became a little frightening looking at the young master who was completely unaware of his position.
