Riton Lystie was a lot younger than Kieran expected. He had a handsome face, brown hair, a grey suit, and a folded red handkerchief in his pocket. His eyes were also brown, and he was sizing up Kieran curiously.
Behind him were two big bodyguards. They were sizing up the room and at the same time, they would glance at Gorbor's men from time to time.
They were sizing up Kieran as well.
However, they didn't provoke him.
As a bodyguard, sizing up his peers was nothing special, but if he dared to provoke his employer, he would never become the ace of the bodyguard industry.
After all, in the bodyguard industry, everything was based on the employer.
"Hello, 2567."
"Hello, Riton Lystie."
Following the friendly greetings from both employers, the bodyguards from both sides stopped sizing up each other and wisely left the room.
"Water, tea, or coffee?"
As the host, Kieran had to fulfill his responsibility.
"Water is fine."
Riton Lystie replied with a smile.
After some pleasantries, both of them sat down on the sofa, and Riton Lystie finally got to the main topic.
"2567, I hope you can help me find the Curseman Vase.
"It has an extraordinary meaning to me and my family."
Riton Lystie said sincerely.
"I can't guarantee 100% that I can locate the Curseman Vase.
"A shaman needs their eyes, and last night …" Kieran sighed.
"They left a long time ago."
Kieran replied.
Even if it was a 100% success rate, Kieran wouldn't just say it was a sure thing.
One needed to know that accidents existed in this world.
"I understand.
But I hope you can do your best.
If you need any payment, just tell me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I won't be stingy. "
Riton Lystie nodded and gave a certain promise.
"You need to talk to Eckart for the payment.
He'll be in charge of everything.
He'll be here soon. "
Kieran let Eckart handle the payment.
He believed Eckart wouldn't let him down.
"Okay."
Riton Lystie was not surprised.
A person like him would rarely discuss a matter personally. Most of the time, he would leave it to his subordinates to handle.
If it wasn't for the importance of the Curseman Vase to him and his family, he wouldn't have shown up. After all, when he accepted the invitation to exhibit the Curseman Vase in Rain City Museum, he already had a series of safety measures in place.
In short, losing the Curseman Vase wouldn't cause any loss to Riton Lystie.
"But the most difficult thing right now is how do I get into the Rain City Museum?"
Kieran shrugged.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Riton Lystie smiled.
As a matter of fact, with the help of Riton Lystie, the owner of the lost items, Kieran, Eckart, and Lyn Amie entering Rain City Museum was much easier than expected.
Of course, Lin An accompanied them the entire time.
At this moment, Lin An was in a worse state than the one Kieran saw on the morning news.
Not only were his eyes redder, but his clothes weren't as tidy as they were on the news. He looked even worse than Eckart a few days ago.
"I'm sure this was premeditated!
"From the moment Borl Nelson colluded with the burglars, it was premeditated. Although the appearance of the burglars in Edwood Mansion was an accident, such an accident made them have no intention of stopping."
On the contrary …
From a certain aspect, it made it easier for them to do what they wanted. "
Zhou An pulled his loose collar and pointed at the display case that held the Curseman Vase.
"After what happened last night, the museum initiated an emergency plan.
With the museum's security, the police, and two scholars and a specialist from the museum, we transported the Curseman Vase to the museum's vault.
This is the place! "
Zhou An said as he led the group to a locked vault.
With a thick metal shell and sturdy cement walls, the vault in front of him gave off a feeling of being heavily locked and heavily guarded.
"You need three keys and a set of passwords to open it.
The three keys are kept by the two scholars and a specialist, and the password is kept by the museum's curator, Pol Nelson.
Once it's closed, it can only be opened again with the three keys and the password, it's impossible to open it from the inside.
But last night, it was still closed, and the Curseman Vase that was supposed to be inside is missing. "
Speaking of this, Zhou An pursed his lips in frustration.
The scholar and specialist took out their own keys, and the specialist keyed in the password to open the vault.
Just like how it looked on the outside, the vault door was thicker than expected, requiring two grown men to open it.
"Did you guys have all the keys from before?"
Kieran asked the scholar and specialist.
"Yes."
"My keys never leave me."
"I only got the password last night."
The three of them spoke one after another, and the specialist added.
"Em."
Kieran nodded without further comment and walked into the vault.
The vault wasn't big by any means, only around 50 square meters.
Just like what Lin An said, the purpose of the vault's existence was to be activated in case of an emergency.
As for other times?
It wasn't exactly unused.
But it wasn't that useful.
Kieran glanced over the empty shelves and eventually stopped at the corner of the vault.
There was also a modified trolley there.
It seemed like it was there to move the Curseman Vase.
A half-meter tall object made entirely out of gold and silver, relying on one's own strength to move it without destroying the object itself, was something a common man couldn't do.
Even the strongest man in the eyes of the common man could only lift the Curseman Vase and move it a limited distance. Carrying the vase and running like the wind?
It was impossible.
Let alone the fact that there was a group of police officers and security outside.
Trying to fool so many pairs of eyes, Kieran knew he couldn't do it in his current state.
"Given the circumstances, how could a common man steal the Curseman Vase?"
Lyn Amie, who was behind Kieran, glanced around and couldn't help but grumble.
His voice was soft, but when everyone else was quiet, it was unusually clear.
Everyone around them heard these words.
Unconsciously, everyone's gaze was on Kieran.
A common man couldn't do it.
