Chapter 1388: Chapter 995, 500,000 Compensation

Banquet.

The dining hall’s crystal chandelier was bright, and Retili was enjoying dinner with the maids, chatting and laughing.

It seemed there was not the slightest hint of stage fright or restraint.

Retili spoke with a smile, glancing at the witch Viola seated nearby.

At first, she thought she was just a new maid. Only now did she remember this person’s identity—the dangerous character on the association’s wanted notice.

Moreover, it was a wanted notice issued by headquarters, definitely Level 18 and above.

"Miss Viola!" Retili took a light sip of red wine, her red lips slightly upturned, "I didn’t expect you to join Gold and Silver Island too."

"Mm!" Viola raised her eyes coldly.

No one found it strange that she was recognized.

The consortium leader’s level may not be high, but their comprehensive control over various aspects means remembering some key fugitives isn’t unusual.

Retili maintained her smile, "I look forward to your guidance on Gold and Silver Island."

Being able to reside in the Island Lord’s Mansion proved Viola’s identity, and unlike the other maids, this fugitive had a high level and true skills.

She would definitely be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Viola glanced at Wu Heng, nodded slightly, but said nothing.

In front of the consortium leader, Viola still displayed the aloof attitude of a Level 18 professional.

Retili continued chatting with Mini, discussing clothing and interesting things outside.

Wu Heng listened to their conversation.

It was clear that Retili was trying to draw herself closer to the Island Lord’s Mansion and had a clear position, maintaining good relationships with the maids.

To Wu Heng, Retili was not objectionable.

Smart, capable, and knew how to seize the moment.

Moreover, her appearance was pleasing, resembling the standard image of the Elf Race.

The banquet ended.

Wu Heng glanced at the sky, "The Island Lord’s Mansion has a few new movies; let Mini and the others take you to see them before heading back."

Retili’s eyes gleamed with surprise, "Thank you, sir."

Mini took Retili to the home theatre, opened the door, and saw two human-like dolls, one large and one small, playing games in front of the screen.

The smaller one suddenly turned, "Sister Retili."

Retili widened her eyes, frozen in place.

Mini said, "Xiao Xiao! The master asked us to take Miss Retili to see the movie."

"Oh!" Xiao Xiao nodded, then said to Bella, "Let’s go to the entertainment center."

"It’s too late; let’s just watch a TV series at home."

"Okay, then let’s go see the script for an animated movie."

The two dolls, one big and one small, discussed this and left the room, heading upstairs.

Retili remained frozen in place, having never seen a talking doll before, let alone understanding why the other knew her.

"Don’t mind it." Mini pulled her into the room, "These two are the master’s ghosts, and the dolls are customized props from headquarters."

"Oh." Retili nodded to show she understood.

They sat in the theater, the screen lit up, and the movie began to play.

...

Wu Heng had just brewed tea for himself when Xiao Xiao and Bella darted in through the door.

The two dolls disengaged from the display case, flying out in ghost form.

"What’s going on?" Wu Heng asked.

Xiao Xiao circled Wu Heng as if seeking praise, "Sister Retili came and wanted to watch a movie, so we vacated the theater for her."

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, offering praise, "Xiao Xiao is so thoughtful."

"Hehe~!" Xiao Xiao replied with a happy smile, then asked, "Is Sister Retili staying here tonight? Why isn’t she going home?"

"She’ll leave after watching the movie." Wu Heng explained.

Bella said from the side, "She’d love it if your uncle let her stay."

"Huh? Is she coming to be a maid too?" Xiao Xiao tilted her head, puzzled.

To her, Retili was a small boss somewhere; why would she come to be a maid!

Bella didn’t explain, just said, "Xiao Xiao, weren’t we going to see the new script?"

"Oh right!" Xiao Xiao recalled, and said to Wu Heng, "Uncle, we’re going to look at the animated script now."

"Go on!" Wu Heng nodded.

The two ghosts left through the walls, one after the other.

Wu Heng picked up his teacup, his gaze shifting to the Lady diligently writing at the desk, "Does everyone in your Heavenly Fox Clan have so many tails?"

The Lady didn’t lift her head, "Just ask directly how many levels I had before."

"I’m just curious why you’re different from Wei’er and the others." Wu Heng maintained composure, sipping tea.

"Heavenly Fox Clan’s distinctive feature is their tails increase with levels." The Lady finally put down her pen, "I’m Level 20, so I have nine tails."

As expected!

He and Glenda had ’chirped’ behind her back and suspected Level 20.

Wu Heng continued to ask, "Above Level 18, you can produce ghosts, so why are you coming out only now at Level 20?"

The Lady lifted her head abruptly, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes, "I was sealed in my body by a ritual! Don’t you understand anything? No wonder Xiao Xiao said you know nothing about necromancy!"

Wu Heng filtered out her taunt, "Do you remember that ritual? Teach me."

"Won’t." The Lady said firmly.

Wu Heng nodded and continued drinking tea.

The Lady glanced at him again, her tone suddenly softened, "Actually... there’s something I’d like you to help with."

"Just say it, no need to be polite."

"Help me find my clan from the Heavenly Fox Clan." The Lady’s voice was rarely soft, "When I awoke, my homeland had become human territory."

"Yeko Kingdom?" Wu Heng asked instinctively.

"Within Celt Kingdom." The Lady replied.

Wu Heng nodded.

Initially, when he heard about the Heavenly Fox Clan, he thought of Yeko Kingdom’s ’Three Crown Oaths’ of the Fox Clan.

Now he saw that the location didn’t match.
