Chapter 965 - 652: Living Map [07] Nora Scott: The Word on the Street, Sis Is Back_2

Nora Scott sneered, "Does he have an anti-social personality?"

"I don’t know about that," Glenn Flynn smiled gently and elegantly, "But he probably has a mental illness."

Nora Scott clicked her tongue.

"So the Northwest will probably be very chaotic." Glenn said, looking seriously at Nora, "I hope you’ll give it some attention when the time comes."

Nora propped her chin with one hand, looking listless, "Hmm."

The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

She finally understood that.

Draining the orange juice in her glass, Nora then asked, "What’s with the Living Map of the Northwest?"

"You should have heard of this person." Glenn said, "According to the rumors, the ’Lülan Plan’ project is being carried out in the Northwest, but there’s no specific location. If someone finds the place without any clues, it’s probably her. So, once the news spreads, there will definitely be a lot of people looking for her."

Nora squinted her eyes.

That analysis wasn’t wrong.

"Additionally," Glenn continued, "Compared to others, Biel Hall should be the fastest to find her."

Nora drooped her eyelids, "Hmm."

"You don’t seem very interested in her?" Glenn detected something unusual, "Or have you already made contact with her?"

"Uh," Nora replied vaguely, "Sort of."

Sorry, she’s actually me.

But to find the location of the Lülan Plan without any clues... they really overestimate her.

She couldn’t understand why the Martial World of the Northwest had such confidence in her.

After bidding farewell to Glenn and returning home, it was already midnight.

Unlike usual, Nora didn’t chat with Pedro Langley but instead, carrying a small sense of responsibility, dialed Boss Alex’s number.

It was well-known that Boss Alex was online 48 hours a day.

Even in the dead of night, the phone rang only three times before Boss Alex answered.

"What’s up?"

Boss Alex’s voice carried a laugh, revealing a hint of sleepiness but none of irritation or displeasure.

"Were you asleep?"

"Just went to bed." Boss Alex said, "What’s going on?"

Nora got straight to the point, "Tomorrow, let them know I’m back."

"Weren’t you resting?"

"It’s for a show." Nora paused and said, "I’ll tell you more tomorrow."

"Alright."

...

After hanging up, Nora sent Frank Ford a message.

[Nora Scott]: Frank, when’s your appointment with the Living Map? I want to join you.

*

The next morning, Frank Ford enthusiastically called Nora.

"Sis, you want to see the Living Map?" Frank was as cheerful as ever.

"Yeah."

"Is there something special going on?"

"Just to broaden my horizons."

"Oh, okay." Frank understood and quickly said, "I have an appointment with her assistant for tomorrow afternoon. It was originally at Virtue Retreat, but the address has been changed to a teahouse. I’ll send you the address."

"Okay."

Nora replied.

She hung up the phone.

The day before, she had looked at Jared Oliveira’s notebook. Because Frank Ford and Luna Durant were going to the same place, Jared had arranged them for the same time, intending for it to be a "highest bidder wins" situation.

Nora had drafted a script intending to lure them in, and Frank happened to appear at this critical moment... she might as well make use of Frank as a tool.

Anyway, she would ensure Frank wouldn’t lose out.

Shortly after hanging up the phone, Rosie Sullivan called again—

"Hall Master, I had someone investigate, and indeed there’s a rumor spreading about the ’Lülan Plan’, and many people are interested, with several looking for you—" Rosie said awkwardly, correcting herself, "I mean, they’re looking for the ’Living Map of the Northwest’."

To this day, Rosie Sullivan still couldn’t believe that Nora was actually the "Living Map of the Northwest" herself.

Although she knew Nora had some connections in Anchel and had gained recognition from the Biel Hall’s young top brass through these strong connections. But the "Living Map of the Northwest" was so formidable that in the Northwest, someone like that could completely ignore the presence of Biel Hall...

Biel Hall was apprehensive of such a person.

Moreover, they had never managed to find any information on the "Living Map of the Northwest".

Never expected that such a legendary figure would be right beside them.

It felt quite odd, since knowing about it, Rosie had felt a sense of unreality.

"Hmm.

Nora briefly understood the situation and got a sense of it.

The next day, in the afternoon.

In West Town, the largest teahouse.

The teahouse, named "Taste of Tea", is as expansive as Virtue Retreat. To ordinary people, it appears to be a high-end teahouse visited by guests who enjoy leisure and love tasting tea. Little did they know, the people coming and going here were a myriad of folks from different walks of life, making it the largest martial world intelligence exchange in Anchel.

Two of the four major families in the Northwest are rooted in Anchel.

One is the Durant Family, the other is the Sedgewick Family.

The Young Master Durant opened a restaurant—Virtue Retreat, but doesn’t care for intelligence, focusing solely on his cooking.

The Sedgewick descendants are relatively ambitious, opening a chain teahouse also as a means to facilitate the exchange of martial world intelligence.

The owner of "Taste of Tea", Alberto Sedgewick, is known as Master Sedgewick.

This Master Sedgewick isn’t as ostentatious or domineering as Young Master Durant, but in terms of ruthlessness, he ranks among the top in the Northwest, and all need to tread carefully around him.

"Sis, we’re here."

The car stopped in front of "Taste of Tea", Luna Durant glanced outside before calling to the woman seated beside her.

Stella Durant said nothing, pushed open the car door, and got out.

Luna furrowed her brow, sighed, then quickly followed her out of the car. With a dashing look, she carried a coiled whip hanging at her waist, drawing quite the attention.

"Sis, some suspect this Living Map is a fake, but her assistant suddenly changed the address, could it be a trap?" Luna analyzed with a furrowed brow.

They were searching for the Living Map for the "Lülan Plan".

However, the Living Map hadn’t shown up in the martial world for a while, leaving them at a loss. Recently, upon hearing that the Living Map was active in Anchel, they rushed over immediately, even though rumors suggested the Living Map’s manners were different this time, possibly an imposter, they decided it was worth a try.

Previously, the meeting with the Living Map’s assistant was arranged at Virtue Retreat, which seemed odd—Living Map usually operated in places like "Taste of Tea", whereas Virtue Retreat was solely self-serving, hardly touching martial affairs.

They even suspected it was a pitfall dug by Benjamin Durant.

Unexpectedly, yesterday, the Living Map’s assistant suddenly contacted them, changing the address to "Taste of Tea".

Stella glanced at her and said flatly, "We’ll know once we’re inside."

"Oh."

Luna felt a bit disgruntled.

Upon entering, Stella glanced again at Luna, paused, slowed her pace, and explained, "Taste of Tea has four floors, with guests divided into ’Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow’ levels. Nobodies are generally on the first floor, the ’Yellow’ level. As you go up, it’s for those with fame in the martial world. Given Living Map’s relationship with the Sedgewick Family, it must be ’Heaven’ level. If it’s booked in the ’Room of Heaven’, then nine out of ten it’s real."

"..."

"..."

Luna was left dumbfounded by the whole hierarchy explanation.

?

Is the martial world really this complex?

At that moment, Stella reached the reception, stated their purpose.

The receptionist gave a standard smile, "They’re in Room One of Heaven, I’ll have someone escort you both, ladies."

"..."

"..."

Luna and Stella exchanged glances.
