Chapter 849: Chapter 313 Planning and Guidance (Two-in-One Chapter)_2

Judging by their ages, the Elf girl’s friends seemed very young, and they all appeared to be new Sword Bearers.

Therefore, at that time, he didn’t pay much attention to this news.

‘Could it be that Dickson saw the target as easy to deal with and acted without permission?’

After pondering, Sam shook his head, thinking this was unlikely.

‘Let’s wait for Garcia to come back before making any decisions.’

…

In less than half an hour, Garcia returned, and her first words upon entering made Sam’s face turn somewhat grim.

“Captain, Dickson has had an incident.”

Garcia quickly explained the situation.

After all, there were many passersby who witnessed the conflict between Rein and Dickson, and Garcia, being a woman with good rapport skills, easily found out what happened.

Additionally, she communicated with the guards at the Sword Bearers’ entrance to confirm that Dickson was currently detained within the Sword Bearers Branch.

“What, Dickson is detained? In the Sword Bearer Mingster Branch? This is an abuse of power; what charges are they using?” someone angrily questioned.

This was the first time the ‘Sam Group’ encountered having one of their own team members detained by the Imperial Swordsmen.

“Suspected Cultist, attacking an Imperial Sword Bearer on the street,” Garcia said.

“Bullshit! What nonsense about suspected Cultist, they’re just looking for an excuse,” a bald man touched his head and said.

“This Mingster Sword Bearers Branch seems quite fishy,” another person said.

Everyone present knew that the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps was purportedly wiped out in combat with a Diamond Star Sword Bearer from Mingster.

“Do you guys think that Dickson might have encountered that person?”

“You mean the Sword Bearer who took out the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps? No way… is Dickson’s luck that bad?”

After listening to Garcia’s report, Captain Sam, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

“The person in charge of the Munster Branch here should be… Fabien. Have him help with the communication to get Dickson out first, and also find out the details of the young Sword Bearer who had the conflict with Dickson.”

“Garcia, I’m going to have to trouble you to make a trip to the auction house.”

Sam thought it through clearly; in Mingster, seeking help from someone like Fabien, familiar with the local scene, would be more efficient than sending his people to investigate.

“Alright, Captain, I’ll get in touch immediately,” said Garcia, the archer lady, as she walked out.

….

Yakesen Auction House Mingster Branch.

Inside an office on the third floor.

“Hmm? Miss Garcia, you said Sam’s Attendant, Dickson, was detained by the Sword Bearers Mingster Branch?” Fabien asked in surprise.

“Yes, there might be a misunderstanding, so we need to trouble you, Lord Fabien, to find a way to get him out,” Garcia smiled and said.

Fabien’s mouth twitched slightly!

Now, whenever he heard the term Sword Bearer, a young man’s figure naturally appeared in his mind.

“Alright, I’ll try, but I can’t guarantee I can do it,” after thinking it over, Fabien didn’t refuse but nodded in agreement.

After all, being someone with years of experience at the auction house, he naturally knew that behind the ‘Sam Group’ was Duke Delam of the Imperial City, a man of high status and power.

“Of course, we’d appreciate it if Lord Fabien could be a little quicker; according to the plan, Sam will be leaving Mingster tomorrow,” Garcia said, nodding.

“Okay, I’ll handle it right away,” Fabien nodded in agreement.

…

And when Fabien got in touch with someone he knew at the Sword Bearers Mingster Branch and understood the situation fully.

“What! It’s Rein again!” Fabien stared at the paper in his hand, his eyes wide, mouth slightly open, feeling utterly baffled!

“Couldn’t they clash with someone else? Why does it have to be him again!” Fabien felt a sharp headache!

Whether it was the Sam Group or Rein, both were people he couldn’t afford to offend.

“Wait, no, Rein is now a shareholder at the Mingster Branch, no, to be precise, the actual controller; the shareholder is that beautiful woman,” Fabien muttered to himself.

“And Sam is under Duke Delam, one of the major shareholders of the auction house.”

“From this perspective, both Sam and Rein are ‘insiders’ of the Yakeson Auction House.”

“Since they are insiders, let them handle it amongst themselves; why should I get involved?” Fabien’s eyes sparkled as he thought of a good solution instantly.

…

Half an hour later.

Garcia returned to the temporary residence from the auction house.

“What! It really is that Rein who wiped out the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps?” Sam listened, stunned!

“Yes, Fabien also mentioned that the person is now a shareholder of the Mingster Branch, his superior, and you are also his superior. So, as an internal conflict of the auction house, he suggests you communicate directly with Lord Rein,” Garcia said.

Just hearing Fabien’s words left her speechless!

Since when was that Rein ‘one of our own’?

Sam stroked his chin, quickly calculating.

This Rein, a Diamond Star Swordman, capable of defeating the Bloodtop Mercenary Corps, undoubtedly possessed significant strength.

Confronting him directly wouldn’t be wise.

However… the Elf girl rarely appears in human territories.

He, as a former Slave Capturing Team leader, naturally understood the risks involved in venturing into Elf habitats to capture Elf girls.

But precisely because of this, Elf girls among top-level nobles symbolized status and power.
