I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 89 The Duke’s Persistence

Castle, study.

Duke Ang stood behind the desk, his back turned to everyone, his expression extremely gloomy.

The jewel of the Bellucci family!

He was actually taken away like this!

This was a direct slap on Bellucci's face.

I heard the news before the reception was over.

I don't know how many nobles seemed worried, but the gloating hidden deep in their eyes was too obvious.

"Sir, Urqui has personally gone to the place where the incident occurred."

"We have mobilized all knights and manpower, and also called on young people from several nearby rural territories to help search."

It happened not long ago.

The Bellucci family has mobilized nearly a thousand manpower.

"My poor Monica, how could anyone have the heart to do something to you!"

Mrs. Rose's eyes were red, and her tears kept dripping on the ground.

If it weren't for the support of Said beside him, he might have collapsed directly.

"Father, I also want to help find Monica!"

The veins on Mace's forehead were about to burst, like a furious lion.

Before Said could also jump out to express his loyalty, Duke Ang suppressed his angry voice and stopped them directly.

"Do you two want to be taken away too?"

"Until the matter is over, you will stay here in the family castle and you must not leave."

"I have sent people to strengthen the security. It is safest to be in the castle now."

Even Mrs. Rose held Desai's hand.

"You have to listen to your father on this. At this time, nothing can happen to anyone."

As soon as the incident happened, countless possibilities flashed through Duke Ang's mind.

As the most powerful dukes in the kingdom, the Bellucci family has offended many big families.

In addition, over the years, Duke Ang has been sitting on the front line and repelled countless orc attacks.

So when something happened, Duke Ang's first reaction was that these enemies came to seek revenge.

He never imagined that what happened this time had nothing to do with his big enemies.

Just when the atmosphere was heavy, Butler Guy hurriedly opened the door.

"Master, I just picked up a letter at the door, and it also contains Miss Monica's earrings."

Butler Guy showed agility that should not be expected at his age and quickly came to Duke Ang.

When Duke Ang read the letter, doubts flashed in his eyes, followed by rage.

Seeing his silent father, Mace stepped forward and took the letter.

"It's a letter from the kidnapper!"

"They want us to deliver the magic core or crystal worth [-] gold coins to the edge of Lion Heart Lake by one person before dusk, otherwise they will break up the vote."

Hearing this, Mrs. Rose almost fainted, holding her forehead, spinning for a while.

Seeing Duke Ang still standing there, Mace couldn't bear it anymore.

"Father, what are you still thinking about?"

"Let me get the ransom and bring Monica back. Trust me, I can definitely do it!"

Mrs. Rose also broke free from Said's hand and ran towards Duke Ang.

"That's your daughter, what are you still thinking about?"

"Do they want the magic core? I remember there is one in the family treasury. Give me the key and I'll go get it."

Several people were eager to get the ransom.

Fifty thousand gold coins!For any other family, it is definitely a fortune with a sky-high price.

But for the Bellucci family, it can only be solved by opening the family treasure house.

Hundreds of years of accumulation of wealth have long since made the Bellucci family as rich as any country.

"No, no one is allowed to pay the ransom!"

Duke Ang's words immediately stunned everyone.

Looking at the livid Duke Ang, they didn't expect it.

How could a father be so cold-blooded?

Duke Ang looked directly at Butler Guy and gave him cold orders.

"Open this letter to the entire king. I want everyone to know about this!"

"Then offer a bounty of [-] gold coins."

"Anyone who catches these kidnappers can get these [-] gold coins. Even if they provide clues about Monica's whereabouts, they can also get a reward."

"But remember, when it's public, bring a few knights with you and let them show their swords. Don't let others fish in troubled waters!"

"Tell everyone again, I, Bellucci Ang, swear by the fate of the Bellucci family, I will only arrest the culprits. Even if you are the kidnapper, as long as you send Monica back intact, I guarantee that everything will be fine!"

"I want the entire capital, everyone, to help me catch those kidnappers."

"If anything happens to Monica, this [-] bounty will be placed directly on the kidnappers. No matter where they escape to, they will all be dead!"

"I will never compromise with any kidnapper!"

In Duke Ang's eyes, there was uncontrollable anger about to burst out.

Butler Guy was so loyal that he immediately walked outside without asking why.

After Butler Guy left, Duke Ang looked at his family members.

There was a bit of complaint in their eyes.

It seems that he feels that at this time, he still puts the face of the Bellucci family first.

She would rather choose to increase the ransom than directly rescue her daughter and compromise with the kidnappers.

Duke Ang sighed.

"In most of these noble kidnapping cases, once a ransom is paid, the other party will definitely break up the case."

"The more you retreat, the more they will push forward, and those people want magic cores, not gold coins."

"The magic core is the core power that every lord-level magic beast can produce. It is all unique."

"If you want the magic core, it means that there is still a risk of being discovered when they take action in the future."

"The only advantage of the magic core is that it is small in size. Once you get it and hide it underground, no one will notice it."

"There are only so many things we can do. From now on, it all depends on God's will."

Duke Ang didn't say a word.

That is, Monica may have been voted out by now, and the other party has no intention of sending her back.

But he was just a person, hiding these words in his heart and not letting his family know.

As the head of the family, this is what Duke Ang has to do.

This is also a calm arrangement that only Duke Ang can make.

After all, he was the marshal sitting on the front line. If it had been anyone else, things would have been in chaos.

Soon, the news sent by Duke Ang spread throughout the entire royal capital in less than half an hour, like a gust of wind.

Countless people simply stopped doing their jobs.

Everyone seemed to be going crazy, running directly out of the city and towards the place where the accident happened.

That’s one hundred thousand gold coins!

A terrifying amount of wealth that is enough to directly turn an ordinary person into a wealthy person.

Even the knights from the big families sneaked out directly.
