Chapter 313: Help With the Investigation
Morris smiled as a crafty glint flashed across his eyes. However, he did not linger on the topic. Instead, he frowned and asked, “From the way you were in a hurry just now, did something happen?”
Audrey hesitated for a moment. Then, she decided to tell him that Morris was not a member of the five great families and did not have any conflict of interest.
“Ever since father and I left the Davis clan, they’ve been unhappy with us. They’ve made things difficult for my father a few times. I just met Kaki and heard some things from her. I’m worried that they’ll make things difficult for my father.”
“So, are you going to find your father or the Davis clan?” Morris nodded thoughtfully. He could not help but sigh inwardly. The great clans were indeed complicated.
Audrey did not know how to answer these words.
She pondered for a moment, her eyes filled with determination. “If I can’t find my father, then I can only go to the Davis family.”
“But if you go and ask for him out of thin air, what if they bite you back?” Morris had been in society for a long time, so he naturally had more experience. He immediately gave Audrey a difficult problem.
Only then did Audrey realize that she had been anxious and had not considered everything.
Seeing this, Morris chuckled and comforted her, “Don’t be anxious. Even if the Davis family took your father away, they have a motive and won’t easily hurt him. Don’t be impatient. I’ll help you investigate first and send you a message. Then, you can make your plans.”
“You’ll help me investigate?” Audrey was stunned for a moment before asking suspiciously.
“Yes. You can go back first. Please wait for my news. I’ll think of a way to send it to the Knights Legion.” Morris nodded affirmatively with a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
Audrey believed him. After all, it was not the first time Morris had intruded into the Templar Knights.
However, his sudden help touched Audrey.
“Thank you,” Audrey said sincerely. Then, she left and returned to the restaurant.
Kate and the others were still eating. When they saw Audrey coming back, they were both surprised and concerned.
“Audrey, how’s the situation?” Kate was the most anxious one. If there were a dispute in the Davis family, he and Audrey would become enemies in name. He did not want that.
Audrey told them the truth about Morris.
“He’s right. This is the best way,” Adrian, who had always been calm, said.
Seeing him say that, Audrey was even more sure that she had made the right choice.
Although she felt a bit uneasy and worried, Audrey was much calmer now. After eating her fill, she walked on the street.
After walking for a short while, Audrey suddenly noticed a man in khaki pants in front of her. He had a fat figure and looked somewhat familiar.
After the man turned his head slightly, Audrey saw him even more clearly.
“Audrey, what are you looking at?” At this moment, Klein noticed Audrey’s movements.
“It’s nothing. I just saw someone I know.” Audrey shook her head and said faintly, but she frowned slightly.
That person was Parker.
In Audrey’s impression, Parker was weak. In front of outsiders, he did not even dare to raise his head. However, why did he come to the crowded food street? Moreover, he looked very natural and bold, entirely unlike the cowardly appearance she had seen before.
It was bizarre. Audrey curled her lips and shook her head helplessly. She guessed that perhaps his situation had improved a lot.
The few of them walked around for a while. It was getting late, so they returned to the Knights Legion.
Audrey immediately went to the otherworldly realm and planted the seeds of the herbs she had just bought. Then, she watered them with hot spring water, and the seeds took root and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Audrey was delighted. According to the speed of the growth of the herbs, it would not be a problem for her to refine 100 bottles a day.
Some of the herbs that she had planted previously had grown well. Audrey simply plucked them all and refined them into potions, planning to sell them.
She could plant some herbs, but there were some high-grade ones that were difficult to obtain. She might have to buy them at a high price. She had spent most of her money recently, so Audrey thought she had to earn some more.
After doing all this, Audrey looked at Meatball. Perhaps it was because she had fed it too well at night, but its belly had become more round.
“I ate too well tonight. It would be great if I could do this every day in the future,” Meatball said lazily.
“It’s time to lose weight,” Audrey teased with a chuckle.
Meatball snorted coldly and walked to the side angrily, ignoring her.
Audrey did not say much. After practicing for a while, she left and returned to the dormitory. Barbara and Ross were already asleep. Audrey quickly tidied up and went to bed.
The next morning, Audrey went to the auction house.
This time, it was Marcus who welcomed her. When he heard that Audrey was coming, Marcus was very attentive. He still did not give up on lowering the price and cooperating with Audrey.
“Miss Catherine, welcome,” Marcus said tactfully. His eyes were filled with interest as he looked at Audrey.
Audrey nodded. She was not used to hearing this fake name again.
“I’m looking for your vice president, Dillon,” Audrey said directly. She did not want to negotiate with Marcus. On the contrary, the Dillon she saw last time gave her a good feeling.
Perhaps it would be more pleasant to talk to Dillon.
