“Everything's been fine, just dealing with some matters alongside the Fifth Princess every day.” After a brief pause, Shanaela continued to ask, “It seems that the association investigation team has made some progress. Do you have any intelligence on that?”

Wu Heng replied, “Gold and Silver Island is quite far away from there, and any news would not reach here immediately. Moreover, the investigation team might not share any intelligence with me.”

Shanaela spoke earnestly, “A batch of association members stationed from the direction of the kingdom have been withdrawn. There's a rumor that the headquarters investigation team, along with religious sects and some hostile forces, have taken action.”

Action!

Wu Heng's eyes narrowed sharply.

“Is the information reliable?”

“It's uncertain, just some unofficial news. But from the actions of the association within Netalee City, there's a possibility. 'Brittany' asked me to see if you had any information,” Shanaela said.

Wu Heng's brows were still furrowed.

Logically speaking, the investigation team should have also made contact with some forces within the kingdom.

But whether a fight had actually broken out, there was really no way for him to receive information here.

The only person he had placed inside, the leader of the Flying Fish Pirate Group, was left to his own devices, without much attention from Wu Heng.

Moreover, those lurking within the sects would have difficulty sending out any information.

“Is Brittany with you?” Wu Heng inquired.

Brittany was the Fifth Princess, currently in charge of managing Netalee City.

“No, if there are any arrangements, I will pass them on to her later,” Shanaela said.

Wu Heng continued, “I haven't received any news here either. The main thing is whether you can get any useful intelligence there.”

“The Leader Lilith is on the island, isn't she? She's in charge of association intelligence; she should have some news!” Shanaela suddenly brought up.

“Lilith…” Wu Heng hesitated.

Noticing the change in his tone, Shanaela asked doubtfully, “What, has she left the island?”

“She's still here, just, she's been angry with me recently,” Wu Heng explained the situation.

Although the motorcycle had been given as a gift, the recipient still seemed puffed up with anger,

making Wu Heng feel like the motorcycle had been a pointless offering.

Shanaela was somewhat speechless. “Daring to use the Leader for promotion, you must be the first.”

“It's not your advice, to increase the publicity of Gold and Silver Island?”

“Don't spout nonsense. I never told you to use the leader for publicity,” Shanaela immediately denied and then said, “Maybe you should write a will first, and leave the island to me.”

“A heartless woman,” Wu Heng snorted.

Shanaela stopped jesting and continued, “Pay attention to your relationships with the leaders. The Religious Leader has some prejudices against you; adding another could make matters even more difficult.”

“It's not that serious. I gave gifts at that time; there's still room to improve the relationship,” Wu Heng said.

Shanaela didn't say much more and continued to instruct, “Let's both probe around. If there's any relevant intelligence, let's inform each other.”

“Alright.”

Then, the two of them whispered and strengthened their rapport,

and the communication ended.

Wu Heng returned the phone to the Skeleton and reopened the door to go downstairs.

Walking down the stairs,

Andre Willow and Annette came in from outside.

Dinner was served on the table and they began to eat.

After filling up a bit,

Andre Willow placed down her utensils and said softly, “Master, Leader Lilith has moved into the mansion you arranged this afternoon.”

The world's decor was simple, and it had been completed in a few days.

“Have all the equipment been installed?” Wu Heng asked.

“Everything's been installed and tested, and it all works properly.”

Wu Heng also put down his utensils and asked curiously, “Is Leader Lilith satisfied with these arrangements?”

“She didn't say much, but she should be!” Andre Willow replied, somewhat unsure.

Lilith was indeed not one to talk much.

For Wu Heng, it was fine. Being one level below, he did not consider a Level 20 hero to be all that great.

But to ordinary professionals, she was as unattainable as the heavens.

“No worries, Mini will select some gifts later, and I'll pay a visit to Leader Lilith tomorrow.”

“Understood, Master.”

After dinner,

the maids went to the training room to continue their training,

Wu Heng thought for a moment and still picked up the phone to dial Xi Ligui's residence.

From the other end came Xi Ligui's voice, “This is Xi Ligui.”

“It's Wu Heng.”

“Wu Heng? What's up?” Xi Ligui's tone immediately softened, losing the seriousness of work.

Wu Heng, leaning against the table, asked, “Have you received any intelligence from Netalee City recently?”

“Not at all. Has something happened in Netalee City?” Xi Ligui also turned more serious.

“Just asking, I haven't received any news either.”

Xi Ligui relaxed and said a bit reproachfully, “I thought there was another problem.”

Wu Heng laughed and said, “Leader Lilith has moved into the mansion. How about we go congratulate her on her new residence tomorrow afternoon?”

“Sure, let's set it for the afternoon. Should we bring some gifts?” Xi Ligui readily agreed.

“`

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “I'll prepare things on my end. There's still a lot left from what those merchants sent before.”

“Okay, I'll leave it to you.”

“Contact me by phone tomorrow afternoon.”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng still leaned casually to one side.

Given his relationship with Xi Ligui, it would be impossible for them to keep any news from him.

There likely was no news that reached Gold and Silver Island.

Let's see if Lilith has any intelligence tomorrow.

He glanced in the direction of the training room.

Wu Heng went upstairs, returning to his study.

Inside the study, Glenda and Bella were both busy with their work, and Xiao Xiao was still nowhere to be seen.

Wu Heng sat down and said to Glenda, “Shanaela sent a message saying that the association investigation team might already be clashing with the religious sect, but we can't be sure of the message's accuracy.”

Bella glanced over.

Grandaze commented, “Is it the investigation team led by the Religious Hero?”

“Most likely, there's no very accurate news,” Wu Heng said.

Grandaze added, “If it's the Religious Hero, then he won't have the time to focus on Gold and Silver Island.”

Wu Heng lowered his voice, “Do you think he could get killed out there?”

Grandaze understood his meaning and also spoke softly, “Not likely, he may get injured at most.”

Their voices grew softer as if they were afraid of being overheard even in their own home.

“Say a prayer?”

“To whom are you praying? Isn't that like walking into a trap?”

“Right.”

Wu Heng turned his gaze to Bella, “Did Xiao Xiao go out to play?”

Bella replied, “She did. I inquired about her friend. Xiao Xiao said her friend also likes to come out at night because of their species.”

Prefer the night?

Species?

Wu Heng frowned and looked towards Glenda.

The latter looked back surprised.

The species on Gold and Silver Island that favored the night, plus the timing of making friends.

Grandaze suggested, “Should we say something to Xiao Xiao?”

“No need, it's good if they can make friends as long as they're not bad people,” Wu Heng reflected and said.

It was almost certain that it was very likely Lilith.

It was unclear how they managed to befriend each other despite their age difference.

But that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Initially, Wu Heng didn't want Xiao Xiao and Bella to interact with Lilith for fear of danger.

After all, both ghosts were a bit weaker back then.

Now, it seemed Lilith was quite decent, and there was no problem with Xiao Xiao contacting her.

Another point was that if Xiao Xiao really got along with Lilith, it would benefit himself too.

It would close the gap between them.

Once he was sure there were no issues, Wu Heng stood up and said, “Alright, I'm going to rest.”

The next day.

In the morning, Wu Heng was at the prison commanding Skeletons to refurbish the jail.

Li Yahong had brought various materials from outside.

For the work, skeletons proficient with tools were more efficient than humans,

and they could also construct normally in certain special environments.

He stayed at the prison until the afternoon, and after Li Yahong left with the convoy, Wu Heng returned to Gold and Silver Island.

He had agreed to visit Lilith with Xi Ligui.

He waited at the Island Lord's Mansion for a while.

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali arrived in a carriage, and Wu Heng divided the prepared gifts among the two.

They then went together to Lilith's mansion.

Standing at the front door, he gently knocked.

Soon, the courtyard door opened and a neatly dressed elder looked out, “Island Lord Wu Heng, Steward Xi Ligui, Assistant Shi Yali.”

Wu Heng smiled and said, “Is Leader Lilith in?”

“Please wait. The young lady is resting, let me ask her,” said the elder and turned back into the house.

He quickly came back out, and the door opened wide, “Please come in.”

Wu Heng followed the butler into the building.

Upon stepping through the front door, he saw Lilith sitting on a red vintage armchair.

Her eyes, too, were looking outside.
