Vieri followed Miss Lavinia's instructions and saw a slender figure sitting at his desk with her legs crossed, and if she had not had short blonde hair but long black hair, Vieri would have mistaken her for Andrea.

The postures of the two are too similar.

"Enrique!" Vieri walked into the office, "Good morning!".

"What about André Sheva?" asked Enrique Lanette without looking back.

"Same as my answer for the past three days!" Vieri shrugged helplessly, "he's on business!".

Lanette snorted, "I don't believe he won't come back!".

"Coffee, wine?" Vieri took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

"Coffee, thank you!" Lanette squeezed out a smile, "Only Andre can do this kind of thing when he drinks in the morning!"

Vieri gestured to Miss Lavinia outside the office and sat down in front of Ranet, "Enrique, don't you need to work?"

"That order last time was enough for me to squander for a while!" Lanette replied indifferently, when Miss Lavinia walked in with two cups of coffee, and Lanette got up to help her, "Thank you." Little Jasmine!".

Miss Lavinia smiled reluctantly, and she wouldn't (dare) lose her temper only if Lanette called her 'little Jasmine'.

"But there's no way you can stay with me every day!" Vieri took a sip of his coffee and smiled helplessly at Lanette, catching a glimpse of her large-caliber revolver hanging from her waist.

"Unless you tell me where Andre is!" said Ranett, plain.

"Business trip!" Vieri sighed helplessly, "There is a case in Doom Town that requires Andrei's professional opinion, and it is a case of 'Thunder'!"

He spread his hands, "Goddess above, Enrique, I have said everything that needs to be said!"

"Thunderbolt, those who work with machines all day long will need your expertise, and will the constructs be haunted?" asked Lanette curiously.

"I don't know exactly why! The case was issued by the Governor's chief adviser, Mr. Faceling. Vieri shook his head, "André hasn't been in touch with me for three days, thanks to you, Enrique!"

"He's not going to have any accidents, is he?" said Lanette, with a worried look.

"If something happens to him, I'll know!" Vieri said calmly.

He set up puppets for both André and Miss Lavinia, so that Vieri could sense them immediately if they were hurt.

"I'll believe you! "But if André returns, relay my greetings for me, and wish him a speedy death!"

"Definitely!" Vieri breathed a sigh of relief and got up to see Lanette off, but at this moment, the phone rang on the desk, and Lanette grabbed the microphone in front of Vieri, and Andrei's voice came faintly from the other end, which seemed to be very urgent.

Ranet's mouth was already wide open and ready to scold, but as she listened, her face changed, and she handed the microphone to Vieri, "Andre, he said he found 'her'!".

Vieri's face suddenly darkened, an expression that Lanette had never seen on his face before!

Three days ago

As soon as Vieri returned to the office, he received a call from Andre, who told him that he would be on the train to Doom Town immediately.

"There's no need to run away!" Vieri smiled, "It would be nice to explain it to Enrique, she's not unreasonable!".

"Is it reasonable to use a large-caliber rifle?" Andre retorted, "I'm not hiding from her, the Facelings issued a mission last night for us to go to Doom Town to assist Thunderbolt in handling cases!".

"Thunderbolt?" Vieri raised his eyebrows, this is a member of the three official organizations of the 'Chamber of Commerce', the Arcane Hunt deals with illegal Arcanists, the Death Bailiff deals with gravediggers, and Thunderbolt specializes in dealing with mechanical 'constructs', plus the 'Rat Catcher Association' who has just joined the 'Chamber of Commerce', these four organizations are specifically responsible for handling supernatural cases for the 'Chamber of Commerce'!

As the soul stone was discovered and mined, the soul stone was used for various purposes through experimentation, some used it as an alchemical formula, some as a medicine, and some used it to drive more and more precision machinery.

Benjamin Hanks, a watchmaker, activated the first 'construct' in history.

At that time, there was a large amount of broken copper and iron scattered around Samsara Town, which looked like broken or malfunctioning machines.

Hanks fitted one of the machines with a soul stone and tinkered with it. Then, it was discovered that the pieces were really fully functional magical machines. Building structures and moving them quickly became the new fad in the city. The construct-based machine became a rare treasure for nobles and dignitaries, as well as the object of research by scholars and engineers.

Most of the machines found in this current are mechanical replicas of various animals, or small, simple mechanical servants. But there are also terrifying mechanical giants that wield all sorts of lethal force.

It wasn't until one day, when an avid 'construct' scientist murdered an entire institute with a machine he had built, that this 'fashionable' thing was discovered to be used for killing, more practical than decoration!

In response to the increasing number of cases of illegal modification of structures, the 'Chamber of Commerce' has set up a response team, 'Thunder', which is composed of fighters and scientists to deal with illegal structures!

"Why do we need our expertise when it comes to mechanical frenzy?" Vieri said at the time, as wondered as Ranett.

"Who knows!" Andre shrugged his shoulders on the other end of the line, "Maybe some mechanical freak has been possessed by a treacherous spirit!"

Vieri scoffed at this answer, people who are affected by treacherous spirits tend to lose their minds, even if they are normal on the surface like Caitlin Doon, they must be crazy and abnormal on the inside, and science, especially the science of mechanical constructs, requires normal reason and careful thinking, and it is impossible for a madman to control and manufacture constructs!

"All right!" replied Vieri, rather helplessly, "Anyway, Enrique's enthusiasm will not dissipate in a few days, so you should take refuge from the limelight!

Andrei answered "yes" and hung up the phone, he walked out of the phone booth and walked in the direction of the train, where the members of the Thunderbolt were waiting for him in a special car.

"Andrei Sheva!".

"Christopher McConaughey!" said a man in his forties, with a wide face and a heavy beard, shaking Andre's hand. "

Andre looked at Christopher's appearance and was slightly surprised to hear him introduce himself.

"My companion, Tilly!" Christopher said, casually introducing the young lady behind him.

André reached out to the pale, stiff-faced lady in her twenties, but she ignored him completely, standing motionless behind the group leader.

"Fortunately!" Andre did not feel embarrassed at all, and generously withdrew his hand and nodded.

"She's not very sociable yet. Please forgive me!" explained with a smile as Christopher, the leader of the thunderbolt group, motioned for Andre to sit down.

The train shook and started slowly.
