Chapter 213: Brat Why Are You Here!
"He... he is really trying to sneak inside," the guard muttered with a twisted face after hearing Li Wei.
While the young woman and butler were no different, their mouths were also twitching with amazed expressions.
They never thought that Li Wei would admit it directly. Also, look at his carefree look; it doesn't seem like he was afraid of getting caught.
'What a strange person,' the young woman thought with a stunned look and inquired.
"Hey, sneaky Mr., why are you trying to sneak inside? Is there something you need?" she asked curiously, without any fear.
While hearing her, Li Wei finally turned back and became stunned after discovering she has a butler along.
Nevertheless, he didn't care much and shook his head at her.
"I don't need anything; however, an old geezer needs the help of mine. Without it, he will probably get scolded by higher-ups," he stated, pointing at the church residence as if he was here to help a weak old man related to him.
While hearing him, the three of them once again became stunned. However, this time they thought he was here to help a weak old man.
Thinking of this, the guard's expression became normal, and he was about to inquire something when the young woman beat him to it.
"Sneaky Mr., can you tell us about the old man and where he works so we can help you get there?" the woman suggested without any care, which made Li Wei surprised.
But he instantly understood that they must have seen his fake level and didn't think he was here to cause trouble or scam an almighty old man.
However, it was a good thing if they can help him get inside; after all, it will save him a lot of trouble of explaining. Also, he doesn't know which cave the old man lives in, so it was best if there is someone who will lead him to the cave of geezer.
But he just can't tell that he was here to help Inquisitor Lucius, or they might think he is here to create trouble or is an idiot.
So, after pondering a little, he replied.
"I only met that old geezer once because of a quest, so I don't know anything about it. However, he was talking about working at the church residence as a gardener."
"He posted the quest because he needed some rare herbs that help the plant grow. However, I accidentally gave him the wrong herbs, so he might be in trouble because he said he was working in the residence of a big shot from the capital," Li Wei explained with a guilty look.
The story was full of loopholes; however, the guard and others were focused on the big shot from the capital.
From his words, they instantly knew that the old man must be working in the residence of Inquisitor Lucius.
However, the guard frowned after knowing this and was about to ask something when the young woman beat him again.
"Sneaky Mr., I am heading to the residence of that big shot, so why don't you follow us? It will be easier for you to meet the old man like this and also apologize to him," the woman suggested without hesitation.
She could see that Li Wei was just a level 30 adventurer, and if he was really saying the truth, then the old man might be really in trouble if the plants died because of him.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with helping someone, so she didn't care about the loopholes in his story. Not to mention, even if Li Wei was some hidden boss, she was powerful enough to take him down alone.
There is also her butler and the old foggy inside the church residence, so there was no need for her to consider if he is lying or not.
The butler also thought the same and didn't stop his young miss because he was aware of her kind nature to help others.
However, Li Wei didn't know this, so he became stunned at how fast she believed his lies. Also, there was one more reason, and that is they were heading to meet the old foggy.
He became surprised at this; nonetheless, he didn't care too much and nodded at her.
"Okay, I will follow you," he agreed without any hesitation.
There might be some trouble after they found out that he lied, but he just wanted to meet the old man. Not to mention, he was really going to help the old man along with scamming him.
So, he didn't care about future troubles and agreed to follow along.

However, there was someone who had doubts about his intention; but, before that someone could say something, the woman replied.
"Mr. Guard, just state that I brought him in, and no one will find trouble with you," she stated, looking at him and beckoned her butler to open the door.
The guard wanted to say something, but he knew who she was, so he just nodded unwillingly while the butler opened the sturdy metal gate leading Li Wei and the woman inside.
Then the butler led them towards the villa of the old foggy in silence, which Li Wei didn't mind and started to think how to trick the old man into giving him a lot of money.
However, his pondering didn't last long as they soon arrived in front of a luxurious villa.
The woman wanted to say something to Li Wei; however, before she could, the door of the villa opened, and an old man came out with a cooking apron and a happy smile.
But when he saw Li Wei, his smile stiffened.
"Brat, why are you here?" Lucius inquired with an irritated look, still not forgetting how he tried to use him.
Li Wei knew this old man was still upset about this, but he didn't care and responded.
"Geezer, I came to help you with something important so you wouldn't get scolded by your higher-ups," he stated with a shrug, making the woman and butler astounded.
"Sneaky Mr.! You came here to help grandpa?" the woman asked with a stunned voice after hearing their conversation.
Li Wei also became stunned when he heard the word grandpa, but before he could say something, the geezer instantly shook his head.
"Alessia, don't listen to his nonsense; he is definitely here to scam me," Lucius replied with a deep tone and turn towards Li Wei.
"Brat, if you are eyeing my coin cards, then forget about it because I already contributed them to the church," he stated with an unhappy look, making Li Wei disappointed.
However, it was only a little, because the main reason he came here for was totally unrelated to money. So, after hearing him, he replied.
"Old man, I didn't come here for money this time, but to help you with a very important task, and it's about finding someone important," Li Wei said with a serious expression.
