Chapter 714: 227. Hunting Fagen_3

“But how did you know…” Selena was astonished.

Before she could finish her sentence, Noland Lee raised his palm, stopping her words:

“Oh, Selena, don’t keep asking questions that won’t get answers. Just leave me some privacy, okay?”

Selena closed her mouth, winked at Noland Lee, and nodded her chin:

“Okay… I won’t ask anymore…”

Noland Lee snapped his fingers:

“That’s right, you don’t have to ask everything when working with me, just know that I will act strictly according to the contract.”

Noland Lee sat up straight:

“Let’s get back to the point. If Dickler Fagen can’t raise 7.9 million gold coins within half a month, he will have to face Mut Pongula’s questions, and may even be transferred away from Suman Archipelago by Mut Pongula for misusing family funds.”

“I hope you can help me write a letter to Miss Melissa Faar, telling her that the opportunity to avenge her beloved little daughter has come. This letter is sent in your personal capacity.”

“Who did you say you were writing the letter to just now? Melissa Faar? The Blazing Flame Queen?” Selena seemed a bit confused:

“What does this have to do with the Blazing Flame Queen? You’ve got me all mixed up.”

Noland Lee asked:

“Don’t you know that the Blazing Flame Queen’s granddaughter lives here in the Suman Archipelago?”

Selena shook her head in confusion.

Noland Lee almost lost his breath:

“Alright, let me ask again. Did you know that the Pangula Family has two Principals in Suman Archipelago? One is the fifth-ranked Dickler Fagen and the other is the twenty-fifth-ranked Sienna Nobus.”

“I knew about that. After Sienna Nobus arrived at the Suman Archipelago, I invited her to the Academy for a meeting. But instead of her, it was her housekeeper who came. The housekeeper seemed quite old and very quiet, hardly revealing any information about him and Sienna, only mentioning that they would be leaving the Suman Archipelago soon.”

Selena paused for a moment, puffed her cheeks, and took a deep breath:

“You mean, Sienna Nobus’ mother is the Blazing Flame Queen’s favorite little daughter? How come I never knew about this?”

“Now you know, Selena,” Noland Lee said:

“I can’t say much about the specifics, as it’s Sienna’s private affair. My cooperation with them went smoothly, and we had a pleasant conversation, so they revealed this old story to me during our meeting. After you send the letter to the Blazing Flame Queen, you should receive a reply soon. Due to certain reasons, she doesn’t care much about her granddaughter, but if there is a chance to avenge her late little daughter, I think she would be more than happy to take action.”

“Avenge her little daughter…” Selena pondered and asked:

“Who is the murderer who killed the Blazing Flame Queen’s little daughter?”

Noland Lee looked at her with a smile:

“I don’t know, Selena, but I guess Dickler Fagen would give the Blazing Flame Queen some clues.”

Heh, actually Noland Lee knew the answer.

He found out about these things from Festa’s deconstruction results.

The title “Blazing Flame Queen” is a family title inherited by the head of the Farrell Clan.

Sienna’s mother is the current head Melissa’s youngest daughter.

The Farrell Clan has a strong demand for fire mana.

They have a close cooperationg with Fagen Pangula, who controls the Scorched Rock Plateau.

Fagen Pangula is Dickler Fagen’s father.

To secure a stable supply of fire mana resources from the Scorched Rock Plateau, the current Blazing Flame Queen decided to form a marriage alliance with Fagen Pangula.

Fagen Pangula had a wife, but the marriage tradition in Ulnas Circle is monogamy.

So, the best candidate for the alliance with Fagen lineage was the only son, Dickler Fagen.

Originally, Sienna’s mother would have married Dickler Fagen after he came of age, under the family alliance arrangements. However, she fell in love with Sienna’s father at a banquet and wanted to marry him instead.

Undoubtedly, this was opposed by the Blazing Flame Queen, Fagen Pangula, and Dickler Fagen.

At that time, Sienna’s father ranked 10th in line to inherit the Pangula Family, five places below Dickler Fagen’s rank.

Sienna’s father belonged to the Nobus branch of the family.

Although his status was not as high as Dickler Fagen’s, and he was not a member of the Fagen Lineage, he was still an heir to the Pangula Family.

Fagen Pangula, a cunning strategist, held back his own son and arranged for Sienna’s mother, who was originally supposed to marry Dickler, to marry Sienna’s father instead.

After the successful alliance through marriage, all parties were begrudgingly satisfied.

Sienna’s father gained a wife.

The Blazing Flame Queen completed her alliance with the Pangula family.

Fagen Pangula formed a deeper magical contract with the Blazing Flame Queen and collaborated to develop the Scorched Rock Plateau.

Seeing that Sienna’s father, with the help of the Blazing Flame Queen’s name, was subtly surpassing himself, Fagen Pangula hatched a sinister plan.

He secretly killed Sienna’s parents, causing the death of the Blazing Flame Queen’s Little Daughter.

The magical contract between the two parties would not be terminated because of the death of certain people.

Fagen Pangula continued to enjoy the wealth brought by the magical contract and the Scorched Rock Plateau, and sat justly in the position of the fourth-ranked heir of the family.

Fagen Pangula, the father of Dickler Fagen, became the biggest beneficiary.

Meanwhile, the Blazing Flame Queen was kept in the dark – on one hand, reaping the fire mana resources provided by the Scorched Rock Plateau, on the other hand, mourning the loss of her Little Daughter.

If the Blazing Flame Queen were to find out that her Little Daughter died due to Fagen Pangula’s conspiracy, who knows what she would think – considering he was her partner.

When faced with the mysterious Noland, Selena didn’t ask further and instead focused on the matter of writing a letter.

“Jarvis, what should I do if Melissa Farrell accuses me of slander, spreading rumors, and distorting facts in her reply?”

Selena said:

“I can’t just accuse someone’s Little Daughter of being murdered without a basis, right? Shouldn’t you give me some clues so I have more confidence?”

“Hmm, yes, Selena, you reminded me.” Noland smiled slightly, reached into his Magic Pouch, and took out a letter:

“Sienna’s housekeeper is named Kaiden. Recently, while sorting through Sienna’s parents’ belongings, he found some clues. He compiled these clues into this piece of paper. If the Blazing Queen investigates and interrogates the people and wizard forces related to the murder based on the clues on the paper, I think she’ll soon discover part of the truth.”

Noland pushed the letter to Selena and said:

“Let me state beforehand, Selena. This letter involves the secrets of the Fagen Branch of Pangula Family. I haven’t read it, and you better not read it either. Just send it directly to the Blazing Flame Queen. It’s best for you not to get involved in the feud between the two major families.”

“Alright, I understand how troublesome family feuds can be. I will steer clear of them,” Selena nodded in response.

She thought for a moment and said:

“Hmm… I now have a deeper understanding of the ‘Redface’ and ‘Blackface’ you mentioned. I am the Redface, responsible for socializing and entertaining. You are the Blackface, responsible for wielding the big stick and providing me with armed support. Is that what you mean?”

“Yes, it seems our understanding is growing deeper,” Noland laughed:

“I’ll leave first. I have faith in you. I’ll be away for a short time soon, so please help me fabricate an illusion that I’ve always been in the Core Circle in the Stone House.”

“No problem, I’ll take care of it.”

Selena stood up to see him off.

Before leaving, she promised Noland that in accordance with the soul contract, she would give Noland a share of the 7.9 million gold coins paid by Dickler Fegen.

This practice complied with the Ulnas Ring Law and was considered part of the allocation of Spoils of War.

Noland took the risk and eliminated four dangerous criminals, and was entitled to receive the corresponding reward.

Noland gladly accepted.

After Selena finished calculating the accounts in a few days, he could come and collect the reward,

which was one-third of the 7.9 million, or about 2.64 million.
