Carvalho hurried back to his room with Mason's help.

At this time, his room was a complete mess.

Both Carvalho and Mason's suitcases had been opened and rummaged through, and his Feng Shui compass, which he had wrapped up in silk and placed inside the suitcase, had unexpectedly disappeared into thin air.

Moreover, the Oskian dollars that he had exchanged as well as some emergency US dollars that Carvalho had placed into his suitcase when he came to Oskia with Mason were all still inside the suitcase itself. 1

Carvalho was immediately extremely nervous as he blurted out and said to Mason, "We did not lose any of our cash or anything else, but we lost the compass..."

Although Mason was not well-learned, he also knew very well that this compass was the Mason family's heirloom. It was said that the compass had been passed on to this day from the first generation of the Mason family's ancestors who had engaged in Feng Shui and metaphysics.

Even if the value and price of this compass were not mentioned, the significance of this inheritance alone could never be measured with money.

Most importantly, because countless generations of ancestors had continuously blessed this Feng Shui compass, it could already be regarded as a magical instrument. It could be used to check Feng Shui, determine the geomantic points, and its accuracy was much higher as compared to a general compass!

The descendants of the Mason family had been relying on this compass to aspire to become a great Feng Shui master. If they were to lose this compass, the ability of the future heirs of the Mason family to read Feng Shui would also be greatly reduced.

So, Mason hurriedly said to Carvalho, "Great-grandpa, we should hurry up and call the police!"

Carvalho nodded repeatedly and blurted out, "Yes! Call the police! Hurry!"

At this moment, Isaac walked in and spoke up," Gentlemen, don't be so anxious. I've already called the police."

Carvalho and Mason turned their heads around to look at the person who had just arrived. When Carvalho saw that the other party was dressed in a suit and did not look like an ordinary person, he asked, "Sir, I wonder who you are?"

Isaac hurriedly said, "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Isaac Cameron, and I'm the general manager of Shangri-La hotel."

As he spoke, Isaac looked very ashamed as he said, "As the general manager of this hotel, I'm truly very sorry and ashamed that something like this has happened. I rushed here as soon as I heard of the burglary. Moreover, when I was on the way here, I already asked my subordinate to make a police report.

I believe that the police officers will be here shortly."

As soon as Carvalho heard that Isaac had already called the police, he gave up on the thought of calling the police.

At this time, Carvalho could not hide his anger as he questioned, "Mr. Cameron, Shangri-La is a world-renowned hotel chain. This is not the first or second time that I've been staying in one of your hotels around the world!" 2

"In the past, the security and service were all very excellent and well done regardless of which Shangri-La hotels I stayed in. I've never encountered a single incident where I lost anything at all. Even the customer service personnel were all very disciplined when it came to accepting tips. They would only take the cash that is placed on the bed, but they would never touch any cash that was placed anywhere else!"

"Yet, I have met with such a vile burglary incident at your hotel! Moreover, the burglar even took away my most valuable family heirloom! This is too outrageous!"

Isaac smiled awkwardly, and he hurriedly apologized," Sigh, Mr. Mason, I'm really very sorry. I'm also very surprised that such a thing would happen in our hotel. To be honest, this is also an unprecedented incident, and it is the first time that something like this has

happened since our hotel opened..."

As he spoke, Isaac could not help but question Carvalho in return, "Mr. Mason, I wonder if your family heirloom is worth a lot of money? Could it be that someone was specifically eyeing your family heirloom, and that is the reason why they came here to steal it?"

Isaac immediately pushed the blame back to Carvalho just like that.

This was exactly what Charlie had taught him.

In Charlie's words, this trick was called 'Backflow of Trouble'.

You're going to question me? Alright, then. I'll turn around and question you in return!

You are accusing us of having poor security here? Then, I'll turn around and vaguely hint that you might have been targeted. As for who might have been targeting you, you should think of it yourself if you have a guilty conscience.

What was even more interesting was that when they went into Carvalho's room to steal something, Isaac had used his cell phone to show Charlie a live video of the room, and Charlie was the one who had chosen that compass. 2

Sure enough! 2
