The blue sky and lush green grass. The perfect morning had swept away the terrifying fear they had last night. With the addition of a Hunter Magician, no one was worried about what Guo Wenyi had said. Everyone carried their luggage and headed to Zhenming Town on foot.
Two-thirds of Zhenming Town was made up of ranches, mainly rearing cows, horses, and sheep. Along the way, they were able to spot cows and sheep when the grass was blown by the wind, even though it was just the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Ling Ling blended in perfectly with the group of young people. With Zhao Pinlin's appointment, they now had a perfect excuse to barge into the town.
The main road of the town was on the other side. Zhao Pinlin brought the group to a ranch. It was a private, high-class club. Many rich people in Shanghai would gather here on weekends. Apart from the natural environment, the whole place also had a golf course, a winery, a western restaurant, a dance bar, guest rooms, an archery range, and a horse-riding field … it was extremely luxurious!
Zhao Pinlin had put in a lot of effort into this place. Even though Guo Wenyi had told him such a disappointing story, he still insisted on bringing the group here.
As they entered the ranch, a tour bus came to receive them. It took them almost twenty minutes to reach the main building of the ranch from the entrance. The style of the ranch was similar to Western Europe. Apparently, the main investor was a foreigner. Even the fountain in front of the main building had a sculpture of him.
Mo Fan rarely came to a place like this. His eyes were filled with curiosity.
Mu Ningxue's face was as cold as an iceberg. She had grown up in this kind of environment, yet for some reason, she still felt annoyed and disgusted. The reason was that the Mu Clan was an international clan. In order to become more international, their headquarters had adopted the style of the ranch. The Mu Clan's manor in Bo City was the same.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be such a place here. Zhao Pinlin, does this belong to your family too?" Wang Xuxu asked excitedly.
At first, this good-looking Wang Xuxu was relatively calm. But as layers and layers of high-class environments hit her, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Living here was simply like living a princess in a fairy tale. She could imagine the straw maze, the servants in suits, the bright red and soft carpet, the milky white princess bed with gauze curtains, and the balcony that welcomed the moonlight and the night sky …
"There are three ranches here. My father has some shares in them," Zhao Pinlin replied.
Zhao Pinlin said in a soft voice. He did not sound confident that the owner of the ranches and manors was someone important. Zhao Pinlin only had the right to visit them.
"I think these three ranches and manors are the most suspicious places," Ling Ling whispered to Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue.
Ling Ling was still trying to figure out a way to enter the place. After all, the place still had the name of a private club. Those who were not members were not allowed to enter. Mo Fan, Ling Ling, and Mu Ningxue were not allowed to enter the club. It was extremely difficult for them to investigate the place. To their surprise, Zhao Pinlin had solved the problem for them.
"Mmm, let's keep up the act. We should be more careful now that we're here," Mo Fan said.
"We're around five kilometers away from Zhenming Town. Something must have happened. As long as we deal with it quickly, the news won't spread," Ling Ling said.
The three ranches and manors occupied a huge area. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were isolated from the outside world. If this place was a branch of the Black Vatican, they would not be able to escape if they were discovered!
Mu Ningxue also realized that it would be difficult to call for help. She tried her best to behave like the others. She did not wander around or look around on purpose.
"Please follow me. The rooms have been prepared for you. Our Mr. Hamuth is a very hospitable person. He hopes that we will treat every guest as if they were him, so please don't feel restrained. If you need anything, just tell the people in suits and red bowties. They will do it for you. If you need anything, hehehe," a butler in a tuxedo said politely with a smile.
The old butler had emphasized the word 'if you need anything'. It was hard to tell if there was a hidden meaning behind it, but it somehow felt like it was implying something. The young men stared at the girls in maid outfits with glittering eyes. Their minds were full of thoughts.
After they arrived at their rooms, the group placed their belongings down and went to the window on the second floor to have some tea. A woman in a red suit explained the facilities and services of the ranches and manors. She also gave each of them a map with the location of each place on it.
"Every facility is a certain distance away from each other. Please contact us if you're planning to go somewhere. We'll send you a tour bus. I'll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything. My name is Carly, "the woman gave them a fake name.
Ling Ling was playing with her phone. She seemed to be indifferent, but she was actually keying in the information of the butler and Carly on her phone to verify their identities.
The Clearsky Hunter Agency was in cahoots with the police and the City Hunters. As a Hunter Mage, Ling Ling had enough authority to verify everyone's identity.
"This Carly is a foreign Chinese …" Ling Ling said softly.
"Yeah, she's not a Mage," Mofan said.
Ling Ling put down her phone and said with a sweet, innocent look, "Sister, sister, is there a big cruise ship here? The kind that can cross the ocean. I want to take a cruise ship, apart from a horse …"
Carly's smile widened when she heard Ling Ling's angelic voice. She was overjoyed.
She replied with a smile, "We do have a cruise ship, but the ones that cross the ocean only happen once a season. It's quite long, so the next cruise is around a month away."
"Huh? So I won't have a chance to take a cruise? "
"Yeah, and even if you can make it, you have to have an international identity to take a cruise. We'll have to inform the relevant authorities," Carly said.
"Oh, oh, such a pity," Ling Ling let out a sigh.
Carly left with a smile and closed the door softly.
Mofan gave Ling Ling a thumbs up.
If the three ranches had their own cruise ship, it would be the best way for Salan to escape to another country. As for her identity, it was impossible to find out her real identity, or how many identities she had. She would be able to escape as soon as she arrived here. The rich had all kinds of connections. Mofan believed it would not be difficult for them to steal someone from another country!
Therefore, the three ranches and manors became the most suspicious places!!
How impressive was this Salan? The Black Vatican's influence in Shanghai had basically been uprooted after Xu Zhaoting mentioned the name of the Blue Deacon. The Enforcement Union believed it without a doubt, and Salan had simply escaped from Shanghai's jurisdiction! The most dangerous place was also the safest place! What a marvelous way to play this game!!
