章節 44: Trouble is coming

Two hours later

A carriage arrived at the Walter mansion, Easily passing through the security at the gate and arriving at the entrance of the mansion where two men have already been waiting.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion entrance and the driver of the carriage opened its door, from which a lady came out of the carriage.

Seeing the lady, The two men bowed slightly and greeted her in unison: "Welcome Miss Joanna"

Joanna smiled, "Manager Levi, Manager Alan, It's been a while since I've last seen you," After greeting, she started walking towards the mansion and the two men followed behind her.

After entering the mansion and closing the door, Joanna asked: "What is it so urgent that required my immediate presence? It should be worthwhile or else!" she was contacted in the palace very early today asking for her immediate presence at Walter's mansion which forced her to cancel many commitments she had today to be here if the cause did not deserve her presence she was going to be angry.

Levi was the first to speak, "Miss, we don't interrupt you if it wasn't important, it's regarding your father."

Joanna opened her eyes wide and looked around, "My father, What's wrong with him, Why is he not here?"

Alan could only sigh as he spoke: "Miss, please follow us "

Joanna confused but still followed them, She advanced inside the mansion until she reached her father's bedroom, she usually would never enter this room but now she has no choice but to do so.

Upon entering the first thing she saw was an Elderly man lying in his bed his face looking ashen as if he were on the verge of death, surrounding him were several men and women dressed in white, they obviously were the doctors and nurses trying to help the Old man.

Joanna saw this scene with incredulous eyes, Her father was currently 110 years old, and being a cultivator in the Realm of body refinement with a lifespan of 200 years, her father was just halfway through his life, therefore she found this scene unbelievable, it doesn't make any sense how can a person who was healthy just a few days ago can be bedridden without any rhyme or reason, unable to comprehend this situation she asked, "What exactly happened?"

They left the room and went to Walter's office, where the managers told Joanna the whole truth, from the plans he had against the ninth concubine, how they failed even the whole process, and then "Today in the early morning a blue dove arrived with a message, The boss personally plucked the note but shortly after reading it he was so shocked that he fainted," Finished talking they passed her a piece of paper, which was the reason why Walter fainted, "We dare not to read it, So we called you urgently as we Currently do not know what to do, I hope you forgive our ineptitude."

Joanna opened the piece of paper, When she finished reading she was in shock, she could tell why her father fainted, and could not help but murmur: "he was robbed, the entire warehouse is empty, not even the shelves were left out."

When the managers heard that they were speechless, Someone had dared to steal from their boss, This had never happened, Manager Levi asked: "But what happened to the guardian?" As far as he knew, the guardian was much stronger than him so he could not believe that someone can cross him.

"Dead, This morning they found him dead inside the warehouse," Joanna said somberly, even she could not believe that a person in the Realm of Qi Gathering had died so easily. Listening to those words the office fell silent.

Joanna was silent for a couple of minutes. While the managers did not dare to say anything, they knew that she was thinking about what to do from now on.

After a moment, she finally spoke: "The people who robbed the warehouse, must be traveling in a convoy, as it's impossible to go unnoticed with all the goods they have stolen, therefore they should not be far away so I'll use my influences to have the army block and search all the convoys within the 100 miles radius of the Capital city, as it's impossible for them to travel any further than that with all the load they'll be carrying."

Then she focused her eyes on Manager Levi and asked: "Are you sure that the ninth concubine has bought all her merchandise from us?"

Manager Levi nodded immediately: "Yes, she purchase it through one of my subordinates."

Joanna then gave a small smile and said," Report to the captain of the law enforcement squad that the ninth concubine is selling the stolen goods" The pair of managers could not believe what the lady has just said: "It means that" Before they could finish talking Joanna completed her sentence; "Frame it and finish what my father has started."
