The crossover of Secret Saturdays and Monster High 2010-2016 franchise.
Disclaimer: I don't own Secret Saturdays or Monster High 2010-2016 franchise. I own only my OCs.
Author's Note: If you guys manage to reached this chapter, you guys may already noticed that I managed to find the way to separate the formal names
and nicknames of the four enforcers of Investigator Yann Bain apart. Now, Jira, Jirayu, Prawat and Pongsakorn have the nicknames known as Jun, Jeng,
Karn and Korn. And for who they were before they became the enforcers, they're just people on the street that struggling to survive for each day before got
recruited by Yann, Tawan and Carl because of their escaping skills when they're avoiding the cops. And of course, as enforcers, they know how to fight and
Tawan is the one who taught them the fighting skills of Muay Thai and swordmanship for each of them. That is how the four street bugs became the
powerful enforcers of a government officer. And still, Zak doesn't have much role in this chapter as well except the practice of fighting skills with Jinafire.
But his time will come when the villains know about him when Investigator Bain fell into the trap of Shoji Fuzen.
Chapter 25 Robbing The Investigator Part 2
Next day, at the Maul, Draculaura and Lagoona are hanging out with their boyfriends, Clawd and Gil, at the Coffin Shop while Clawdeen is in the nearby clothes shop.
Once Clawdeen finished bought her new clothes and received the refund, she heads back to the Coffin Shop. Once there, she shows her new clothes to her big brother
and her friends. Without permission, Draculaura takes a look inside of one of the bags of clothes and found the refund in there and take it out for Clawdeen. But before
she could give it to her, she notices something strange from the banknotes and the coins. As a daughter of the the vampire who is a banker, she has some knowledge
about money in her head despite that she prefers doing such thing as writing a story more. And one thing she remembers very well from what her father taught her is
the apperances that each banknote and each coin must be.
"Clawdeen, whose money is this before it became your refund?"Asked Draculaura
"From that clothes shop."Said Clawdeen and she points to the clothes shop that is just 30 foot steps away.
"Well... I noticed that there are... something odd.. with the refund that you just received."Said Draculaura
"Why's that, mate?"Asked Lagoona
"You're not going to like it, Clawdeen..."Said Draculaura
Later, at Draculaura's mansion...
"Hmm..."Groaned Dracula as he's looking at the every bit of single and very closely at the coins and banknotes from refund that Clawdeen received earlier.
Then, he turns to look at the money that Draculaura gave him to make him be able to compare the differences in order to confirm what his adopted daughter
is suspecting at. After a long six minutes of looking, comparing, weighing the coins and scanning the banknotes, he finally got the answer to tell his adopted daughter
and her friends.
"Clawdeen, every coins and banknotes of your refund are completely made of the counterfeit money."Said Dracula
"WHAT?!"Asked Clawdeen, Draculaura, Lagoona, Clawd and Gil
"The weight of these two coins are completely difference."Said Dracula as he's showing counterfeit coin in his left hand and the genuine coin in his right hand.
Then, he lets Clawdeen hold both of them by each of her hand to see the difference. To her surprise, Draculaura's father is right! Then, he shows them the two
banknotes that are inside the UV banknote checker of him. There, they see that one of them is glowing while another is not glowing.
"By using the checking device such as this one, we can tell the differences between the genuine and counterfeit banknotes.
The genuine one is the glowing one while not glowing one is."Said Dracula
"So how long that it was here? I mean... in the term of being use, of course."Said Gil
"These coins and banknotes must came out a few months ago, judging by they look so new. So the place that creating the counterfeit money might not be far."Said Dracula
"Or perhaps it might came from the other faraway place?"Asked Lagoona
"We also can't deny that possibility either but we have nothing to prove for both theories."Said Dracula
"Well... we can tell to the new investigator. I have a feeling that told this to the other high-class people might get nothing. At least,
I think Cleo's family would probably care nothing about this until it caused an affect such as financial crisis to them and their business."Said Clawdeen
"Exactly, Clawdeen. The counterfeit money can caused a crisis in the economics, the worst one would be the destruction of the money system."Said Dracula
"On second thought, telling them this might be a good idea."Said Clawdeen
Later, at the de Nile's mansion...
"WHAT?!"Asked Cleo, Nefera and Ramses
"This is completely true, if you three don't believe us. Here, see for youselves."Said Clawdeen and she handovers the refund that she got to Cleo and she gives it to her father.
Ramses then orders the Anubis Servants to go out to get the UV banknote checker out while he is examine the coins to see which are genuine money and which are
counterfeit money. To the shock of the de Nile family, the entire set of coins that they got from Clawdeen is counterfeit money! Then, he redoes the same experiment
on the banknotes by using the UV banknote checker and once again, shock to found that every banknotes from the refund of Clawdeen is counterfeit money.
"It seems that from now on, we must be more careful."Said Ramses
"I'm not going to buy anything with the fake values!"Said Nefera, dropping the counterfeit coins on the table.
"You all better go tell Investigator Bain, he'll know what to do."Said Cleo
"Then we better go now."Said Lagoona and she's walk out with Gil, Draculaura, Clawd, Clawdeen and Cleo.
Later, at the Investigator's Hall, in the Office...
"Nothing... completely nothing..."Said Yann
"None of the accounts have any holes about the corruption of Chadwick. So what should we do now?"Asked Tawan
"We have to find the other way. How about some people from the party last night?"Asked Yann
"Well, considering that you didn't opposed anyone... much. I think we can ask some helps from them."Said Tawan
"But if they all against us?"Asked Carl
"Carl, what kind of Instructor are you? So much negative view of things!"Said Tawan and then Karn and Korn enter the office.
"Sorry for the interruption, but a young ghoul named Cleo de Nile and her friends, wanted to see you."Said Karn
"Cleo de Nile... hmm... I remembered that name. He was one of the guests at the welcome party last night!"Said Carl
"Understood. Then, let them in!"Said Yann
"Yes sir!"Said Karn and Korn and they go out to bring Cleo and her friends in.
"Listen, I know we should ask help from the people from the party last night but not from those who are underage!"Said Tawan
"Cleo de Nile is daughter of Ramses de Nile, through her, I can get help from her father. Despite that he is a person of 'ranks in society'."Said Yann and then Karn and Korn
return with Cleo, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Gil and Clawd. Then, the investigator invites Cleo to sit down,
which she accepts and sit right before him while the others standing beside.
"So... what brought you to my office, Ms. de Nile?"Asked Yann
"We... have a case for you to solve."Said Cleo
"Well then, tell me about it."Said Yann
"Okay..."Said Cleo and then she lets Clawdeen to come beside her. Then, Clawdeen pulls out the refund of hers and give it to the investigator.
"Hmm? What's up with the money?"Asked Yann
"Uh..."Said Clawdeen
Meanwhile, at the City Hall, in the Mayor's office...
"Sir! There is a group of teens came to the office of the investigator!"Said Morton
"And?"Asked Joseph, not quite understand at all.
"They came with a case, sir. That's what one of my droids told me."Said Morton
"Words of children, who would believe?"Asked Joseph
"But sir, if we-"Said Morton but the Forever King stopped him.
"I don't wanna hear about you being paranoid here, Sir Morton. You're free to go."Said Joseph but his enforcer has yet out of his office.
"I SAID GO!"Said Joseph
"Yes sir!"Said Morton and he's walk out quickly.
In the meantime, at the Office in the Investigator's Hall...
"WHAT?!"Asked Yann
"And that's not all, the place to created the counterfeit money might be nearby."Said Draculaura
"Sir, what should we do?"Asked Carl
"*Inhale* You ghouls and your boyfriends go back home. If we got anything, we will tell you kids later."Said Yann
"Thanks for the taking the case, Investigator."Said Lagoona and then Cleo gets up and walks out
with her friends. But before she will leave, she turns to look back at the investigator.
"Oh! And we got a very great backup among us, you might need him."Said Cleo and this gains the interest of Investigator Bain.
"Hmm?"Groaned Yann
"Zak Saturdays, the reincarnated Kur shall be at your service if you need him. And of course, we're going to tell him about this first."Said Cleo
"The reincarnated Kur? He's here in New Salem?!"Asked Yann
"You have nothing to worry, sir. He is no evil. Actually, he's quite nice."Said Draculaura
"Well... thanks then..."Said Yann
"You're welcome, Investigator."Said Cleo and she leaves with her friends, being escort by Karn and Korn.
"*Sigh!* Now, we got two serious suppressing matters!"Said Yann
"Sir, do you think that Mayor Chadwick is behind this as well?"Asked Carl
"I don't think so. His primary purpose maybe about the benefits for himself but he's doing it through the power of government, not economics."Said Tawan
"If not Chadwick, then who created the counterfeit money?"Asked Carl
"Hmm... do you think it's Shoji Fuzen?"Asked Tawan
"Has high possibility in this but we simply can't judge that just because he's opening a brothel."Said Yann
"So what should we do then?"Asked Tawan
"Easy. We go to the Maul and see everything by ourselves!"Said Yann
Later, at the Cloth Shop called Silks' beauty in the Maul...
"So... Investigator Bain, what can we do for you?"Asked The Owner, who is a female werecat
while her employees, who is a female ghost and a male skeleton, are standing behind her.
"I'm here to investigate the money system of the Maul. I want to know where did you receive the money beside from doing your own business."Said Yann
"Aside from doing business, sometimes, I have to go withdraw out some money that I have in the Confederate Cryptid Bank."Said Werecat Owner
"And where is this department is locating at?"Asked Yann
"There is one department upstairs and another one 10 kilometers away from here in the north."Said Werecat Owner
"And which one that your account is locating at?"Asked Yann
"The one in the north, sir."Said Werecat Owner
"We will be back to tell you of the result later. For now, nothing will happen."Said Yann and the werecat and her employees nodded as understand.
Then, the investigator and his officers then leave the shop and heading to a branch of the Confederate Cryptid Bank in the north of the city.
Going by cars, they arrive at the bank in the 20 minutes and quickly rush inside to talk with the manager about this. Have nothing to hide,
the ghost manager then leads Investigator Bain and his officers to the chamber that his men are working on about taking care of the new money
that came from the factory. After meet the three Troll workers who are working in this chamber, Investigator Bain then orders Instructor Ganser
to deal with them. By testing them through questions about where the new money came from and the differences of the old one and even see some of
the new money from one of the boxes himself, Instructor Ganser found that the entire new set of money that this bank is having is counterfeit money!
But judging by the face of the manager himself, it was like there is nothing wrong or bad thing happened around here. Have no intention of causing
a disturbance or panicking people, Investigator Bain asks to talk with the manager in private at his office.
In the Manager's office of the Confederate Cryptid Bank...
"I remembered you said that every single bit of coins and banknotes must went through the cash stores of Shoji Fuzen first,
why was that? Doesn't the major bank of the Monster World is up to the major government only?"Asked Yann
"Despite being the major bank in the Monster World, we can't take care of everything properly. We do need help from the other local banking organizations as well
in order to spread the money that came from the factory to each state, especially the states near the ocean such as Oregon like this one."Said The Ghost Manager
"Hmm... understood."Said Yann, knowing that this is a hole for the corrupted merchant or government officer to intervene for his or her own personal gains.
"So... umm... anything else, sir?"Asked Ghost Manager
"I know you got a question ever since I let Instructor Ganser examed the money, you may ask."Said Yann
"Well... is there a problem with the money of my department or anything else, sir?"Asked Ghost Manager
"The creators of the money have their own rules, change the mould and the money printer can cause a trouble.
If it's unnecessary, there is no need to change them in the sudden."Said Yann
"You mean?"Asked The Ghost Manager, hoping the answer would be NOT what is he's thinking right now.
"In the money system, change the devices such as the mould and money printer can cause troubles. So the announcement is the first priority in doing it but recently,
the States General and the Senate have never been approved about changing the mould and the money printer or anything else. So the money you're having right now
is none other but counterfeit money!"Said Yann
"WHAT?! Investigator Bain, me and my boss didn't do it! I swear!"Said Ghost Manager
"You have nothing to worry, manager. If the investigator's suspecting you, he would't tell you this."Said Tawan
"Right before your men back there, if we blurted it out, there will be a chaos."Said Carl and the manager nodded in understand.
"You let me and my officers in and reveal everything openly. Making me see that you're not the one who's behind this."Said Yann
"Thanks, sir."Said Ghost Manager
"I'm working on searching for the source of the counterfeit money right now. If we know the place, then we know where it came from. So until we found
who's behind this and the place that's making the money, you cannot say anything about this to anyone, especially, your own employees."Said Yann
"Understood, sir. I won't say anything out."Said Ghost Manager
"Good."Said Yann
"And do you need any help in this case, sir?"Asked Ghost Manager
"For now, no. If I need help from your bank, I'll contact you or your boss."Said Yann
"Well then, here sir."Said Ghost Manager and he gives him the numbers of his boss and his own to him.
"Thanks, you may return to your duty now."Said Yann
"Thank you, sir."Said Ghost Manager and then the investigator and his officers leave the manager's office and leave the bank, letting him continue his duty here.
Meanwhile, at the Front of the Deserted Castle inside the Catacombs below Monster High...
"Jump!"Said Jinafire and then she and Zak jump in the midair and begin to fight hand-to-hand combats while floating in the air. When they landed, Jinafire quickly rushes
toward to him and give him a punch but Zak jumps up and landed behind her and give her a kick but she manages to grab his right leg with her tail first and then pull him
to her to punch him again but she missed because he bowed while being pull toward to her. Then, he uses both of his hands to grab her at the hips, his left hand unintended
grab her butt, and flip her up into the air and jump up to continue the fight. Jinafire then plays hard back by jump again in the midair and landed on the wall of the castle and
then jump up and running in the midair and then drilling herself around like a tornado and breath fire out as a lot of fireballs to Zak as he is about to reach the wall. Zak then
pulls out the Claw and shoot it to the tree and swing himself down there and landed on the ground safely. Suddenly, Jinafire landed before him, with a steel jian in her hands,
so Zak puts the Claw back and get the jian that Jinafire gave him earlier our, ready for the combats with weapons. Both of them jump agai nand use their swords to fight against
one another while floating in the middle of the air. Once they landed, they immediately continue the duel between one another. Nearby, Kazi and his team, Fiskerton, Skelita,
Frankie, Ghoulia, Slo Mo, Spectra, Sirena and Neighthan are watching, eating snacks and drinks and enjoying the practice between Zak and Jinafire. Again, they both jump into
the air but instead of continue the fight, they jump across one another and Zak landed at the tree while Jinafire is on the wall of the castle. After a moment of silence,
both jump out toward one another and when they are about to clash with one another, they swing their swords to one another, creatign the biggest sound of 'CLANG!' ever
that the yhad ever practice with one another and then landed behind each other. Suddenly, Jinafire immediately turns to look at him and stab her jian on the ground and
several explosions happen and heading right toward Zak. Zak has yet learn of this move so jump back very high but the speed is too much and his violently landed on the wall
of the castle with his own back. Then, he falls down to the ground but luckily, Jinafire rushes to there and grab him in time before his body will hit the ground.
"Ouch..."Groaned Zak
"Are you okay?"Asked Jinafire as the others are approaching as fast as they can.
"Not much of pain, I think..."Said Zak then Frankie and Neighthan came to check on his wounds. Later, Neighthan uses his healing power on Zak,
healing his wounds and the cracking bones. After healed, Jinafire then suddenly slaps Zak right in the face.
"Hey! What was that for?!"Asked Zak
"Despite unintended, you GRABBED my butt!"Said Jinafire
"Oh... sorry for that..."Said Zak while the others are giggling, except for Kazi, who found that somebody grabbed the butt of his beloved lady is NOT funny!
Later, in the Investigator's car...
"STOP!"Said Tawan and then Jun stops driving as she ordered.
"What is it?"Asked Yann
"That!"Said Tawan and she points toward to a casino for Investigator Bain, Instructor Ganser and Karn and Korn to look at.
That is when they seeing a troll being throw out at the entrance by two werewolves, Clint and Clay.
"That... is a perfect place to begin the investigation!"Said Tawan
"Using casino to investigate, good idea but also foolish as well."Said Yann
"Have other choice?"Asked Tawan but none of them say a word.
"I'll take that as no. Jun! You go park at the corner and then come with me and Jeng to investigate."Said Tawan
"Yes, ma'am."Said Jun and Jeng and then Jun drives to the corner of the street and park the car there. Then, the three of them go out and heading to
the casino for the investigation. Leaving the Investigator, the Instructor for their own safety and the other two enforcers to protect them behind.
Once they entered, what they're seeing is a bunch peoples, humans and monsters are playing games of gambling with the others. They then heading right
to the table of Chuck-a-Luck. That is when the trio seeing a bunch of people losing their money to the gambler. Needing to find the evidences, Tawan orders
Jun and Jeng to play with. At first, both of them gain the upper hand and got more and more money. But then, Job Deller, the werewolf who is the owner of
this casino then enter and ask to play a round with. They accept and play with him. When he is about to cheat by twist the bowl to make sure he is the winner,
Tawan saw his movement and immediately stop him by put her hand on his hand before he could twist it. Suddenly, she opens it and reveal the not twisted dices
to the whole crowd. Humiliated, he attempts to punch her to get her money but she ducks and then punch him back pretty hard, sending him hit the wall very hard.
"GET HER!"Shouted Job and the other werewolves who are working for him stop their gambling and turn to attack as their boss ordered. Jun and Jeng quickly move
out and get the other customers to safety, knowing that if Tawan goes serious about fighting, a lot of damages and injuries will occur. Beside, a gang of werewolves
of a casino is no big deal to the three of them when it came to fighting skills. Two werewolves launch themselves toward to her but she stopped them by just a one
roundhouse kick at one of them and sending them hit at the wall. The other four werewolves came from behind of her but instead of defending herself, she just ducked
and let them float pass her head and slam into their boss who just got recovered right in the face instead. The five of them then get up again and Job then throws two
of his men to continue the fight. Tawan then jumps to one of them and give a superman punch right in the forehead and a reverse roundhouse kick to another one at the belly.
Another werewolf then coming from behind with a chair in his hands to hit her but she then jumps up and landed behind him and thrust him at the back with her right foot,
sending hit to fly through the window and hit a parking car very hard. The other four werewolves, including Job Deller, Clint and Clay, then come to stand around her to
prevent her from escaping. When all four of them run into punch her from four directions, she's just jump up and let them run into each other with their fists landed on
one another's faces. Now, all of the werewolves are down. But before anyone could do anything more, Sir Morton and four Forever Ninjas then rush in to see the commotion.
"What the heck is going on here?! Who caused the commotion?!"Asked Morton as the werewolves are getting up. Then, he turns to look at Tawan.
Sir Morton then remembered that they're enforcers of Investigator Bain, he simply can't just arrest them but also can't let them cause more
troubles to one of the places that are making benefits and wealth for them, their master and partner as well. So he decided to let her go.
"Oh... it's you..."Said Morton as he's smiling to her.
"Have we met?"Asked Tawan
"I'm the enforcer of Mayor Chadwick, Sir Morton. We've met at the welcome party last night."Said Morton
"Well then, the owner of this casino is cheating and then attempting to get what he wanted the hard way. How should he be handled?"Asked Tawan
"Mr. Deller! This is the bodyguard and girlfriend of Investigator Bain, don't you know that from the last night?"Asked Morton
"Oh... umm... I'm sorry, ma'am. I didn't know back then. Beside, I didn't even remember your name
correctly."Said Job and then he orders one of his men to give the money that rightfully belong to her back.
"The name is Apinya Juntra, or simply known as Tawan. Now, I'm tired of playing. If you excuse me,
I'll have to return to the manor."Said Tawan and she walks out, where Jun and Jeng are waiting for her and go back to the car.
Three minutes later, inside the Investigator's car...
"Here's what I got."Said Tawan and she reveals the money from the gambling in the casino earlier.
"Anything more, Ms. Jantra?"Asked Carl as Investigator Bain is checking on each banknote to see which one is genuine and which one is counterfeit banknote.
"The enforcer of Mayor Chadwick, Sir Morton, is seem to backing the casino's owner, Job Deller. That means he's too having his own benefit in this."Said Tawan
"Then it seems what I am suspecting is true. The government officers here are really corrupted. The confederate law stated that those who are from the government cannot
affiliate with such place like casino, afraid that they can't do work properly if they're part of the corruption. The government officers like these are big troubles."Said Yann
Outside, in an alley, a man in white shirt, white pants and black jacket named Earl Rudd, the former Forever Knight, is watching the investigator's car is heading back to
the Investigator's Hall. Unlike the others, he is knowing of something about the Forever Knights took away of homes and properties of the citizens because he once worked
as the instructor of the Forever King himself before quit because he can't take the actions of the Forever Knights anymore. Now, this is his chance to expose the crimes of
the evil Mayor of New Salem and bring him to justice. He quickly gets on his motorcycle and drive out from the alley and follow them to the Investigator's Hall.
In the meantime, at Fuzen's mansion, in the Living Room...
"If it's not because of Sir Morton, I wouldn't let that human ghoul getaway easily with my money!"Said Job
"Dai Jinhua, in the World of Chivalry in Asia, is there a person known as Apinya Jantra with the nickname as Tawan?"Asked Shoji
"Nope."Said Jinhua
"WHAT?!"Asked Job
"No worry, Mr. Deller. I got this."Said Shoji and he turns to look at the Chinese youxia directly.
"As a man from the World of Chivalry as well, you may wanna check on this information."Said Shoji and the youxia gets up
from his chair, grab his sword and leave the place to do research.
"*Sigh!* You can find the better guy than him! If it's not because of you, me and my men will never ever going to have the forbidden poisons
he is keeping away from the world like that Silver Dragonfly!"Said Job because he's always dislike of Jinhua's strict and silence personality.
"He is a very straight person and always tense to finish his job no matter what. We can't be so picky on this. Beside,
those others didn't possess with such deadly secrets like that poison that I behest him to gave it to you."Said Shoji
"Ugh! Even that he found who she is! I still unable to get my money back!"Said Job
"What you lost is very little, Mr. Deller! Don't you remember what my true purpose is?"Asked Shoji
"Ooh... yeah... the expansion..."Said Job when he remembered that Shoji has a scheme to
expand his Criminal Empire out of this city to entire Oregon and even the surrounding states.
Later in the Evening, at Office in the Factory...
"We're running out of time. How long do it take finish this?"Asked Gorges
"You have my word, Manager Cliff. At least in three to five days, the new set of money will be ready to deliver."Said Warwick
"Well done. And when this set of money is done, you and your men will be rewarded."Said Gorges
"Thank you, sir."Said Warwick
"However, I must tell you that... this is between you and me, has nothing to do with Mayor Chadwick.
If he knows of this, he's going to come for the share. Understand?"Asked Gorges
"Yes sir, I understand."Said Warwick
"I'll go now. You can go back to watching them doing their works."Said Gorges
"As you said, Manager Cliff."Said Warwick and Gorges leaves the factory and get into his car and drive back to the city while Warwick is still standing at the entrance.
"Sir!"Said Werewolf Worker
"What is it?"Asked Warwick
"We're running out of coppers, sir."Said Werewolf Worker
"Just go get more from the warehouse, little situation like this doesn't need to tell me!"Said Warwick
"But sir, didn't we got the order to melt them again?"Asked Werewolf Worker
"What kind of idiot to order that?! I'm not going to waste time and wealth just for little mistakes!
So just go get more of those coppers!"Said Warwick and the worker quickly runs out to get more coppers from the warehouse.
Meanwhile, at the Living Room in Draculaura's mansion...
"There is still one thing I don't understand, ghouls. Why would anyone want to make counterfeit money?"Asked Lagoona
"Well, that is very simple. For his or her own personal gain."Said Cleo
"I meant that didn't metals like steel and copper are more expensive than the coins themselves?"Asked Lagoona while Dracula as he's inspecting a counterfeit coin in his hands.
"So the point would be this. Why someone wants to make the counterfeit money while the money made by
the Confederacy are also copper? And how can the one who's behind this will gain more benefit?"Asked Draculaura
"It's all about the ingredients, Lagoona. From all of the metals that are using to create a coin, copper is one of the most expensive."Said Cleo
"In a coin, six parts are copper while other three parts are lead and zinc combined. But if use copper for only just 2 parts while
the 7 parts are lead and zinc and then subtract the costs of fuel and damage, one coin can be use to create coins easily."Said Dracula
"So that means the new coins are too heavy because they have too much of lead in each of them."Said Draculaura
"But what about the banknotes?"Asked Lagoona
"Easy. The genuine banknotes and counterfeit banknotes are differences in quality of printings and the appearances.
The creators can't make the counterfeit banknotes look exactly like the genuine ones."Said Dracula
"Whoa, that sounds so simple."Said Clawdeen
"So why did you asked?"Asked Dracula
"I'm thinking about telling this to Zak. Well, he is Kur. So he has the power to control the monsters who
might aiding the culprits but in case that if the investigator and his men demanded, of course."Said Lagoona
"I like that idea. Then we should tell him tomorrow."Said Clawdeen and everyone nodded in agreement.
In the meantime, at the Living Room in Fuzen's mansion...
"When will the new set of money be ready?"Asked Shoji
"Warwick told me that it will be ready in three or five days, sir."Said Gorges
"Good. And when it's ready, spread it to all of my cash stores immediately! 5000 for each store, understand?"Asked Shoji
"Very clear, sir."Said Gorges
"And what about Mayor Chadwick? Is he still oblivious with this?"Asked Shoji
"I already ordered Warwick not to say anything to him. You got nothing to worry, sir."Said Gorges
"Well done. We can't let him know of that. If he knows, he's going to come for the share."Said Shoji
Meanwhile, at Warehouse near the Port...
"This is the place?"Asked Tawan
"Yes, it is. I worked with those Forever Knights for such a long time, including the time in this city."Said Earl
"Well, have nothing to lose anyway..."Said Tawan and she pulls the door open and go inside with the former Forever Knight, the Investigator, the Instructor
and the four enforcers. As they're going inside, they don't know that they're being watch from above. Sir Morton, the Twin Knights and eight of the Forever Ninjas
are watching them from upon the building. Found that the investigator and his men were bring here by the former Forever Knight, Earl Radd, they quickly return to the City Hall
to tell this to the Forever King, despite that they already took what that they got from the farmers and peasants in the outskirt of the city to hide in the other place.
In the meantime, at Fuzen's mansion, in the Living Room...
"That former Forever Knight won't be a problem. But the real problem is Investigator Bain, are you sure you can make him one of us?"Asked Shoji
"Of course, who wouldn't love money? And I got plenty of that."Said Joseph
"Then you have nothing to worry now. I'll handle that treacherous Forever Knight myself."Said Shoji
"Thanks, partner."Said Joseph and then he leaves with Sir Morton and the Twin Knights.
"Mr. Deller, you know what to do?"Asked Shoji as he's turning to look at the fat werewolf.
"Of course, sir. I'll go get my pack right now."Said Job
Later, at the Manor in the Investigator's Hall, in the Office...
"*Sigh!* Found nothing but a handful of barley rices!"Said Tawan
"It seems they're keeping eyes on us. It is the only way to explain how can they managed such thing so fast."Said Carl
"And now we don't know where those properties are, what should we do?"Asked Tawan
"How about... figured out about his unusual richness?"Asked Yann
"You mean like... checking the account of Mayor Chadwick's riches?"Asked Tawan
"Yes, that's right. Think about it, he has a partnership with Shoji Fuzen."Said Yann
"And Shoji Fuzen is the owner of the franchise Raibu ya Shain cash store, we might find the evidences at one of his cash stores!"Said Tawan
"That has the very high possibility. Keeping a lot of richness in a cash store, he can keep a lot of it and no ones will suspect anything as well."Said Carl
"But there is one problem left, how are we going to investigate his cash store without making him being wary of us?"Asked Yann
Next day, in the Morning, at Raibu ya Shain cash store...
"Time to 'make a soup out of the bones for the very owner'!"Said Tawan, referring that she got the money from casino of Job Deller, which actually owned
by Shoji Fuzen, and now, she's going to use the money she got from that casino to open an account of herself while doing investigation in the cash store.

Author's note: Well, do you guys like this chapter! Took me a lot of times to think and think and THINK! Whoa! I can't believe I will eventually finish it! YAY!
Well, the reason is because of the chores, UGH! And also because of the doubt about using the idea of the other poison more than just the Silver Dragonfly.
The other poison I wanted to use is known as Peacock Abdomen. It is some sort of a poison in shape of an abdomen of a peacock.
Unlike the Silver Dragonfly, the victim won't die immediately but will slowly die as time go by. Well, the poison itself is not the problem
but the problem is the cure. I just don't know how can Dai Jinhua is going to give an object called the Amber Cup, an object that can verify
every kinds of poisons. I just don't know how can an enemy, an unwilling guy to be one, of course, to just come and give it. Sounds ridiculous but hey,
Dai Jinhua has no intention to be a villain. Like what I said before, he was like being force to do bidding of Shoji. So I will figure something out and it will
be so great if you help me out with this. And if you guys wonder what does 'youxia' mean, it means knight-errant in Chinese language.
Hope you all enjoy this chapter and hope you all have a Happy Halloween!
