Chapter 144 The Best Pass
"Wow, Miss Shafik." Xing Ze laughed, "Excellent negotiation. However, I need a reason for you to join. The previous reasons don't count, that's the ticket price.
"If you want to enter the VIP seat, you need to pay extra. Of course, don't worry if you can't give a reason, I will report to you every few days on the progress of the case."
Obviously, this proposal did not impress the young lady. On the contrary, she turned her nose up at it, "If it were someone else, I might consider this proposal. But you, Xing Ze, I'm afraid not.
"As for the reason for joining. Do you know the new Ravenska Village? No need to answer, because I know you don't know. When you were in school, your history of magic was not good, and you always complained that it was not the history of your country.
"So, you will be surprised by Mrs. Scottel's sudden change of attitude. But in my opinion, this is sparse and normal.
"You know, during the Elf War, the Shafik family saved the residents here. Although it is not a good memory for the elves.
"And after the war, the Shafik family provided a lot of money and manpower..."
Mrs. Scottel came downstairs with her two children, which made Ellie temporarily stop the topic.
Ace walked in front, and he came to Xing Ze impatiently, "This is all your fault."
"Yes, yes. It's all my fault." Xing Ze spread his hands, "You are so noble and holy."
"You are simply unreasonable, damn, when can we come back?"
"Hey, Ace, don't say bad words." Mrs. Scottel stepped forward and pulled her son over, looking at Ellie apologetically.
"It's okay, ma'am." Ellie smiled at the boy, which made the boy's face turn red, "You can't come back here until we confirm it's safe."
"When will it be? Aunt Julie's place is boring, and I miss my dad. "Quinn, Ace's brother complained.
"Quinn, don't be so rude." Mrs. Scottel stood in front of her youngest son, "I'm sorry, miss."
Ellie shook her head, she stepped forward a few steps, reached out and touched Quinn's head, "Don't worry, kid, I'll go visit your father. I promise to write you a letter to let you know about his situation."
Under Ellie's persuasion and gentle smile, the two boys had no objections.
As for Mrs. Scottel, although she looked worried, she never said anything questioning.
"Madam." Before they left, Ellie grabbed Mrs. Scottel and stuffed a black card into her hand, "Take this, the money in it is enough for you to live for a while."
Mrs. Scottel said in fear: "No, Miss Shafik. This... I can't accept this."
"Just consider it as an apology for our offense." Ellie clenched her hands a little tighter.
"I... I just don't understand. Why do we have to leave here? Is it related to my husband? "Mrs. Scottel's voice choked up, "They... they didn't tell me anything at all.
"I know the rules, I shouldn't ask too much. But I... I'm worried about Martin, he... he's just an ordinary person. I don't understand why he went to St. Mungo's?"
"Shhhh, ma'am." Ellie advised, "You must be strong, your child is still watching. I will think of a way to see if I can bring you some news back."
"Thank you, miss, thank you very much." Mrs. Scottel suppressed the sadness in her heart.
Ellie nodded and cast her eyes on Xing Ze who was talking to Ace.
I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation. She thought so in her heart.
"I'll say it again, kid, I won't visit your little girlfriend, I'm not your fucking Cupid."
"She's not my girlfriend." Ace shouted, but his tone was not so firm, "This is all your fault. We could have asked Luke properly, there was no need to make such a fuss."
"Yes, and then he will ask the guards to politely invite us out." Xing Ze smiled.
After seeing the boy's face full of resentment, he compromised and said, "Okay, okay, tell me where she is? I'll tell her you're gone."
Ace reported an address and whispered, "Thank you."
Xing Ze chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
...
Looking at the Knight Bus disappearing in front of him, Xing Ze sighed, and Ellie beside him asked, "Now, can you explain it to me?"
"Let's continue with the previous topic - about your eligibility to join. What are you talking about? Oh, the Shafik family rebuilt this town after the war."
"Yes, my family invested a lot of manpower and financial resources here to help the survivors of Ravenska rebuild their homes.
"Most of the industries here are related to the Shafik family, supermarkets, police stations, town hospitals, gas stations... Almost all the residents in the town are employees of my family.
"That's why they respect me so much, no, to be exact, they respect my family. I can help you continue your investigation in New Ravenska Village.
"Think about it, Xingze, you just humiliated the mayor's son, and this will soon spread throughout the town. I think you will be unable to move forward here. At least the mayor will not let you go so easily."
"So, you are the best pass."
Ellie had a look that said you finally understood, "Of course, if you think the above conditions are not enough, then add one more - I can think of a way to deal with St. Mungo's Hospital."
What she said really made sense, and the conditions were quite tempting. But when he thought of Albert's gloomy face, Xing Ze suddenly felt a headache.
After a long period of thinking, Xing Ze nodded and agreed: "To be honest, I won't wait until you finish your class and deal with those suitors before starting the investigation."
"Don't worry, I will deal with those idiots. As for class, I have recently given most of the courses to Quirrell so that he can go out less."
"Speaking of him." Xing Ze frowned, "How is he recently? Is there anything unusual?"
"Except for starting to study wizard chess and potion formulas all day, there is nothing unusual. If you have to say, he often comes to New Ravenscar Village recently, in the name of purchasing magic materials."
"That's why you came here." Xing Ze touched his chin, he was considering whether to tell Ellie about the dream.
However, he quickly gave up the idea. These things cannot be explained in a few words. Let's talk about it when the time is right, although he doesn't know what the right time is.
