THE LAST HOBBIT'S

50 - Wesley's Residence

Sofia's words made Arslan flinch. He had the mission of searching for the Dragon Conquering Sword and smashing the sword before it fell into the hands of the evil one.

His task is very heavy and he himself knows the risks of what he will do. He actually did not have much time to think about other people's problems, especially about the kidnapping case they were talking about. It's just...

It's just that Sofia's words made something hurt in her heart. He was upset, but there were other feelings as well. A feeling that he himself had difficulty understanding.

Arslan took a breath, she looked at Sofia and then muttered. "This is why I don't like you coming,"

"Mn? What did you say?"

"Nothing," Arslan exhaled softly and crossed his arms. He got up from his seat and made Sofia and Natur frown.

"Where are you going?" Sofia asked.

"Heah... Didn't you say you wanted to investigate this matter? Then let's go" Arslan walked over and An followed him from behind.

"Arslan, wait!" Sofia soon follows Arslan. Nature also came along and they went to the place where the Wesleys were.

Arslan stared at the tall wooden gate looming before him. He was now in front of Wesley's spacious residence and surrounded by a five-meter-high wooden fence.

Sofia and Natur were seen opening their mouths so amazed to see a fence this high. Honestly, the residence with a fence that has a mysterious luxurious aura of this kind makes their curiosity peaked.

"Arslan, how did you know that this was Wesley's residence? Have you ever been here?" Sofia asked and looked at the 1.3 meter tall young man before her.

"Either... I guess.." Arslan's voice without tone, even his flat facial expression did not change at all. He walked towards the gate where there were two guards standing there.

The two guards were from the human race and in armored uniforms. They looked strong and mighty, even Sofia involuntarily gulped. Natur also became nervous, while An himself expressed as if he knew nothing.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" one of the guards was so friendly when he faced Arslan. However, Sofia and Natur were still very tense.

"My name is Arslan Galie and I want to meet the head of the Wesley family. What can?" Arslan opened his voice, his tone was calm.

The two guards looked at each other before one of them looked back at Arslan and opened his voice. He asked, "What is your business with Mr Wesley?"

"I heard Mr. Wesley's daughter disappeared," Arslan glanced at Sofia before returning to speak with the guard before him. He said, "My partner really likes to interfere in other people's affairs. He wants to help the Wesleys investigate the case of his missing daughter. But if you guys mind, then we can go."

Sofia flinched, "Arslan. You're..."

"Mn," Arslan nodded slowly. He did not mind waiting outside.

Natur and An watched the guard open the gate and enter the Wesley's residence. They stood outside for a long time before the guard came back and took Arslan and his friends in.

Sofia and Natur were obviously shocked. They are actually not sure that they will be able to enter this residence and honestly what Sofia wants is to investigate the cases of kidnapping the girls without contacting their families.

The problem is, Arslan was thinking about something else and he did not expect at all. Even this subject took them to a place where one of the girls' houses disappeared.

Sofia was still nervous. He turned his head towards Natur and knew that the teenager beside him also felt a similar feeling. The scenery in this place did not make the two calm down at all.

Unlike Sofia and Natur, An actually looks happy. The creature from the Giant Veridis race seems to walk towards the flower plants in this residence.

On the other hand, Arslan noticed the surroundings and saw some servants in this place. He followed the guard who led him into a room.

"Mr Wesley was waiting inside" the guard opened the door and Arslan thanked him before stepping inside.

Sofia took a breath and followed Arslan. Inside the wood-walled room and decorated with a white scarf-himself saw a man sitting on one of the chairs. The subject was thick but with a clean face was standing and immediately walked towards Arslan.

Unexpectedly, the man reached out and grabbed Arslan's hand. He said, "My guards said you came to look for my daughter. Is that true? Can you find him?"

"Calm down, Mr. Wesley." Arslan touched the man in front of him and said, "We have to know in detail how your daughter disappeared before thinking about what we can do."

"Of course, of course. Please, let's sit down." Mr. Wesley invited Arslan and his colleagues to sit down. He then told me what happened in his home.

Arslan and the others listened carefully. The words of Mr. Wesley are the same as those of Nature. The daughter of the man before her disappeared suddenly in her room and the incident took place at night, while the festival was festive.

Mr. Wesley shook his head and sighed sadly, "I don't know what else to do to find Rosie. A lot of people have been looking for him, but..."

Mr. Wesley remembered his daughter and bowed down even more sadly. His voice was soft as he said, "I even wrote a letter to the city to send some magic knights, but there is still no reply until now."

Sofia and Natur flinched, they looked at each other before finally looking at Arslan. It was seen that the 1.3 meter tall youth was very seriously thinking about this.

"I guess... I already have the plan," Arslan opened his voice and looked towards Sofia.

"Mn?" The beautiful girl from the elf race realized this and seemed to blink. He felt that Arslan was targeting him.
