"Dead?"

"Yes, when the appointment was approaching, the secretary's office started to contact Mr. Tadell. However, the butler at Mr. Tadell's residence always replied that Mr. Tadell had already left for our place by car. So we thought that he might have encountered traffic on the way or was delayed due to other matters. But in the last call, the butler told us that Mr. Tadell had died in a car accident."

"So fast."

Miss Bertha pointed to her temple and said, "They said he was pierced through the head by a steel bar in the car accident."

Karun sighed and said, "Let's mourn for Mr. Tadell. May the goddess of nature guide his soul."

"Uh, may the light protect his soul." Miss Bertha continued, "We will follow up on the follow-up matters, not for the sake of chasing the appointment fee, but for the basic care of the clinic's clients. Oh, by the way, Mr. Karun, you can leave work first."

"Okay, thank you."

Karun nodded, put the background information form into his briefcase, and walked out of the office.

Walking into the elevator, Karun's face showed a thoughtful look. He did not believe that Mr. Tadell had died in a simple car accident.

When the elevator reached the first floor and the door opened, Karun saw a middle-aged man in a red round-neck woolen sweater standing at the elevator door. Behind him were a group of black-suited... bodyguards.

The temperament and posture of the bodyguards were too easy to distinguish. After all, Karun had also lived in the Allen Manor for a while.

The middle-aged man glanced at Karun, and Karun immediately showed a panicked expression, apparently "scared" by the momentum of these people. He carefully walked out of the elevator along the edge of the elevator.

The middle-aged man and his bodyguards entered the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, Karun's panicked expression disappeared. Who were those people who just got on the elevator?

Karun, who had just become a divine shepherd, had greatly improved in "intuition", but of course, this was not as good as using "exploration spell"; but using the exploration spell rashly was actually a very stupid thing, just like what Alfred had said last time, the female security guard at the clinic had probed him several times.

Walking out of the building with a heavy heart, a young girl holding a large bag of potato chips walked towards him. Judging from her expression, she intended to "bump" into him.

Although Karun was "heavy-hearted", he keenly noticed this, so when the two were about to collide, he stopped in advance and avoided her.

But the girl, who had already prepared for the "encounter and collision", suddenly lost her balance and fell down.

"Crack!"

This was the sound of potato chips falling all over the floor.

"Crack!"

This was the sound of the girl falling face down on the ground.

Fortunately, the girl threw away her beloved potato chips in advance and used both hands to support the ground, which prevented her face from intimate contact with the ground.

Karun did not go forward to help the girl, but chose to bypass her and try to avoid the potato chips on the ground, walking straight to his car parked on the side of the road.

The girl had already reached out her hand, but did not see him come to help her for a long time. She looked up and saw that he had already walked to the roadside.

Thinking of her brother's words, coupled with the embarrassment caused by her fall, the girl did not know where she got the courage and ran towards Karun.

Karun heard the urgent footsteps behind him, but unfortunately he did not have a gun in his arms. Otherwise, facing this scene, Karun felt that his first reaction would be to reach for the gun in his arms.

He turned around and finally saw the girl's face.She was the young girl who said to herself in the taxi, "Brother, do you want to eat potato chips?"

"You really have no gentlemanly demeanor!"

The girl said to Karun angrily.

"Miss, do you need something?" Karun asked.

"Do you know how long I've been hanging around here just to bump into you?" The girl asked, hands on hips.

"What do you want from me, Miss?"

"To thank you for saving me last time!"

"Which time?"

"The last time." The girl waved her arms. "The time of the explosion."

Karun hesitated for a moment. He instinctively felt that he should give a "shocked" expression and ask with surprise, "What, that little girl was you?" or "Don't joke, how is that possible!"

But that little girl had seen him use defensive magic, so if it really was her, there was no point in pretending.

"Okay, I received your thanks. You don't have to be so polite."

Karun opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

At this moment, the passenger door was also opened, and the girl sat in, closed the door, and patted her leg dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, do you have to be so indifferent?"

"Miss, what do you want to do?"

"Aren't you curious why I suddenly grew up?"

The girl blinked at Karun.

Quickly ask me.

Ask me and I'll tell you that I deliberately grew up to repay your lifesaving grace!

"Eat less snacks, there may be hormones in them."

"..." The girl.

"I'm sorry, if possible, please leave your contact information. I have urgent matters to attend to now, we can make an appointment another time."

"Hmph."

The girl was really angry. She had imagined many scenarios of "chance encounters," but they all involved her and the other person colliding and the other person embracing her as she was about to fall, not her falling flat in front of the other person.

Just then, Karun saw the middle-aged man in the red wool sweater with his bodyguards walking out of the building again, the bodyguard holding a photo and confirming something, while others scanned their surroundings.

He had a premonition that they were looking for him.

Karun immediately pulled the girl over, creating a scene of the two of them kissing in the car, using the girl's back to avoid the other's gaze.

After that group of people looked around and found nothing, they got into the car parked in front.

And as Karun was observing their movements with his peripheral vision, the girl really thought Karun was going to kiss her, so she closed her eyes and fluttered her eyelashes.

But when the car of those people left, Karun pushed the girl away.

"..." The girl.

At this moment, Karun saw Miss Basha's figure appearing on the first floor of the building.

After confirming that those people had left, Karun got out of the car and walked directly towards Miss Basha.

"Mr. Karun." Miss Basha also walked towards Karun without any nonsense and said, "A group of people claiming to be Mr. Tadell's relatives came to inquire about Mr. Tadell's psychological appointment status and also asked who Mr. Tadell's psychological doctor was. They knew your name and also tore off and took away your photo in the physician column."

"They're not ordinary people?" Karun said.

"Yes, the leader, I can clearly sense the family belief system aura emanating from him." Basha said, "But there shouldn't be a problem. We and Mr. Tadell's family have only had simple business dealings, right?"

"Miss Basha, are you testing me?" Karun asked.

"Of course not.""I and Mr. Tadel only have a simple working relationship. If we have any other involvement, why would we need to meet at the clinic?"

"You make a good point. So, is it just that Mr. Tadel was silenced because he had to do something or did something?"

As soon as the man died in a "car accident," someone came to investigate his schedule for the day. The purpose was too obvious.

"Hmm." Karun asked, "Besides my photo, what else did they want?"

"They asked for your address."

"And you gave it to them?"

"Yes." Miss Basha replied, "But I gave them the address of Apple Street."

"Apple Street?"

Apple Street is not far from here and is considered a prime location in the city center.

"That's the boss's address." Miss Basha explained.

"Does Piajie know you did this?"

"The boss went to see an art exhibition today and is not at the clinic, so he doesn't know about this. But I think if he were here, he would agree with this. It's not possible to tell these strangers your real address."

"They will know whose house it is."

"Oh, of course, so I told them that you and our boss live together."

"..." Karun.

"A house where a man lives and a house where two men live actually don't look much different."

"They might search Piajie's house."

"You can rest assured that we search the boss's house more often in private, and there's nothing unsavory there."

"Okay."

"So, I suggest that you go to the boss's house and put on a show now or later. This is the key to the boss's house, the villa at 3-06 Apple Street, under the name of the boss's father, where the boss currently lives. I think as long as you really have no other relationship with Mr. Tadel besides work, explaining it a bit should be enough. They're just investigating potential suspects, and it's easy to handle. Also, to be honest with you, we have people protecting the boss's house, so we can absolutely guarantee your safety, although I don't think you need our protection."

As long as you really have no other relationship with Mr. Tadel besides work...

This is a suspicion within a suspicion.

Karun lowered his voice and asked, "Can you tell me the truth? Did you kill Mr. Tadel?"

"Why would we kill him? He's our client."

"We and you are not the same." Karun reminded, "Anything is possible, right? What if Mr. Tadel found something abnormal in the clinic?"

"I never received a call from him. You were the one who told me about the appointment."

"That's ridiculous. How can you think like that?"

"You were the one who brought it up, so you're the one being ridiculous."

Miss Basha pursed her lips and nodded:

"I apologize to you and hope you can understand. If your Berry Church is just unable to see the light, then our current situation is truly living in the light and dying in the light. When we come into contact with circles beyond the ordinary, we tend to be a bit overreactive."

"Okay, I hope we can have more trust between us."

"Of course, but who is that..." Miss Basha obviously saw the girl in the passenger seat of Karun's car.

"A girl I just met." Karun answered truthfully.

In fact, many female doctors in the clinic are willing to do it, including me." Miss Basha pointed to herself."I prefer someone more innocent." Karun said.

"Of course, you have the right to choose your own taste."

Karun turned around and walked back to his car.

The girl was still sitting in the passenger seat, but Karun didn't kick her out. Instead, he started the car and drove away.

Basha walked back to the building and was met by the clinic's female security guard, Rebecca.

"It shouldn't have anything to do with him. It's purely because of the aftermath of Mr. Tadell's death."

"Then it's simple."

Basha continued, "Order an investigation into which family those people are from, but don't alarm them."

"Understood, your excellency."

"Also, notify the people protecting the boss, create some accidents to delay his return. And inform the people protecting the boss's home that Mr. Karun will be going there. No matter what happens between Mr. Karun and those people, don't interfere. Although it's really annoying to see those bugs from the family's faith acting arrogantly in front of you, we don't need to implicate ourselves for a few bugs."

"Yes, your excellency."

...

"Is something bothering you?" the girl sitting in the passenger seat asked.

"Where do you live? I'll take you home."

"Hey, aren't you curious about how I suddenly grew up?"

"I am curious, but I don't have the energy to ask right now."

"So, you've encountered some trouble."

"It's not a big problem, I can handle it."

"You can come with me to my house. My brother wants to meet you."

"I don't even know your name, and you want me to go to your house and meet your brother?"

"I'm Serina, what about you?"

"Silva."

"I think that's a fake name."

"It is."

"You're really dismissive." The girl pouted, but continued, "What I mean is, if you're in trouble, my brother can help you fight. My brother is really good at fighting, unlike me."

"You have a great brother. He even has a little sister who takes the initiative to help with trouble."

"You saved me, so my brother can help you too. Isn't that normal?"

"I didn't save you to get your help. I thought you were just a little girl at the time. Also, the trouble I'm in now is not that big, but it's easy to lead to big danger. So, go home obediently. Where is your home?"

"The Lemar Pottery Museum on the second street ahead."

"It's very close."

"Yes, it is."

Soon, Karun drove the car to the entrance of the pottery museum.

"Get off, Serina."

"Are you really not coming in for a bit?" the girl asked.

"No, give my regards to your brother, although I don't know if he's really in there."

Because the last time the little girl clearly said she was going from her mother's house to her father's house, and her stepfather even gave her extra pocket money.

Serina seemed to think of something and said:

"I didn't lie to you last time."

"Okay, okay. Go home. It's safe there. After I finish dealing with things, I'll come to visit."

"Okay."

Serina got off the car, waved to Karun, and walked into the pottery museum.

Karun smiled. He knew this girl was very unusual, and his family was definitely unusual too. However, he didn't think the other party had any ill intentions towards him. One was because he really saved her, and two was because her behavior today seemed like she came to him to talk about love.

He glanced at the door key on the car and wondered if he should go to Piajie's house to play this act.

He decided to go, because he really had no substantial contact with Mr. Tadell. If he didn't go to "clean" the suspect's identity, it would be easy to lead to more trouble.Turning the front of the car, Karun did not go directly to Apple Street, but chose to drive towards the hospital. He wanted to visit Alfred, who was loyal to him.

...

Inside the restroom of the art exhibition, Piajie's personal driver stood at the window, and a black crow landed there. The driver took a letter from the crow's leg, which requested him to create an accident to delay the boss from going home.

Hmm, this task is not difficult.

The driver crushed the letter, washed his hands at the sink, and walked out of the restroom back to the exhibition area.

The boss was just looking at the paintings in this area. Hmm, not here?

Then he should be in the next area. Huh, not there either?

The driver was not too anxious and continued to search. Because the boss came in his car, if he wanted to leave, he would only look for him. He felt that the boss was probably quietly admiring a painting in a corner somewhere.

But in fact, Piajie had already left the art exhibition and got into a luxury car.

"I've been waiting for you. I don't know why, but I feel that you will appear in front of me." Piajie said to the man sitting next to him.

The man took off his hat, revealing a refined middle-aged face.

Mr. Bede smiled and said, "This shows that you have a fate with the God of Walls."

"You're actually laughing?"

"Should I be crying according to your premonition?"

"It's a feeling that's worse than crying."

"Oh, I see."

"It seems that I was wrong about my premonition." Piajie said.

"No, actually you were right."

"There's something I want to ask you. Did you go to Roja City recently?"

"I did."

"About Linda..."

"That was voluntary for Linda. As her husband and lover, you should be able to feel that."

"There's something I want to ask for your help with."

"Speak."

"I want to see the scenery that made Linda yearn for."

"Okay." Mr. Bede agreed.

"Let's chat over coffee." Piajie suggested.

"Okay, do we go to the coffee shop we used to go to?"

"That coffee shop has closed down. Come to my house. I have good coffee beans and excellent painting tools."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

...

"Have you checked everything?"

The man in the red woolen sweater asked.

"Mr. Gerson, we have checked everything. There was nothing found in the room." The other person replied.

"Then let's wait for the psychologist named Silvia to come back and ask him face-to-face." Gerson opened the curtain on the second floor and looked outside.

"According to the butler we arranged at the Tadell's house, after Tadell and his son came back from the psychiatric clinic, they kept praising the high level of the psychologist."

"Heh, high level?" Gerson held a photo in his hand. "Where is the high level? Clearly, he just thinks the psychologist looks good and has a crush on him. While others go to the convent to find nuns, Tadell likes to find monks. This psychologist also happens to live with his male boss and happens to be on the same side as Tadell."

"I think we won't get any useful information from this psychologist. This line is probably just an accidental episode. We need to find clues from other directions to figure out why Tadell chose to betray us."

"Sir, we can take care of these things. Why do you have to come in person?"

"Nowadays, because of the sudden death of the patriarch, our Raphael family has become unstable. Therefore, we cannot have any more mistakes in our business, especially in the blood spirit powder industry. This not only means point income, but also means that our Raphael family is bound to the Order of the Gods!Big Brother is preparing to compete for the position of clan leader. As his younger brother, I can only come here in person to guard the place.

Moreover, they have already detained the troublesome judge over there and expressed dissatisfaction with our strict conduct. We absolutely cannot make any more mistakes."

"Yes, sir. Sir, the car is here."

The car stopped at the door, and two people got out.

"Sir, that's the owner of the clinic. His big picture is posted at the clinic entrance. The other one is the psychologist, he seems to be older..."

Gesen widened his eyes and looked at the man next to Piajie, his face showing a look of shock and anger:

"He's the clan leader of the Allen family!"

The Allen family is actually associated with this clinic!

Tadell's purpose in coming to this clinic was not to seek psychological help or find a good-looking male psychologist. He was here to betray the Allen family!

For a moment, Gesen instinctively made a decision, a decision that could even eliminate all other trivial influences and be simplified into one instinct:

What do you do when you encounter a lone clan leader from the enemy family?

Gesen's choice was:

"Kill them!"

Sorry for the late update.

First, because I have been maintaining the update rate since the publication of the book, the accumulated fatigue has caused problems with my daily routine, affecting my writing state. Second, this chapter has been revised many times, which has delayed too much time.
