Chapter 292 Collins' Thanks
Klein glanced at the chubby Darkwell and recalled the man's sleazy act of peddling "aphrodisiacs." Although he didn't mean to discriminate against fat people, Klein instinctively felt that sending him to the front lines was unreliable. He agreed to Darkwell's proposal and nodded gratefully.
As he nodded to Darkwell, he instinctively felt that the owl that had been perched on his shoulder was scrutinizing him.
Klein, as if possessed, nodded and greeted the owl with its bulging eyes.
The owl, quite professionally, touched its chest with one wing, bowed to him, and said:
"You can call me Mr. Harry, and I agree with your assessment of my master; I also feel he's not suited for frontline combat!"
"It can talk?!"
Klein was startled. Although his original worldview had been shattered since he transmigrated, he had also come to accept the existence of races with intelligence no less than that of humans, such as dragons and giants.
But in this mysterious and rare age, even though he knew about it, it was the first time he had ever seen a living "extraordinary being" that could speak human language.
It can read my mind! Is it an extraordinary creature that passes through the audience's path?
By the way, Sequence 8 of the "Pharmacist" pathway seems to be "Beastmaster". Is this owl an extraordinary creature that Darkwell tamed to digest the potion?
While trying to control himself from thinking about anything else, Klein used analysis to cover up his secret in order to prevent the owl from seeing through it.
"Hello Mr. Harry, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Although "Harry" was just an owl, since it could speak human language, Klein couldn't ignore it and politely greeted Harry!
"You are indeed different from Darkwell. You are not so vulgar and rude, thinking about finding females to mate with all day long. Even though you are blessed by angels, you have no ambition!"
"Or, why don't you buy me? I'm a 'Mind Reader' from the 'Audience Path Sequence 8,' and I'll be very helpful to you!"
As Harry spoke, he glanced sideways at Darkwell, whose face was growing increasingly dark, then shook his head helplessly, looking utterly disappointed!
Darkwell held back, wanting to lash out, but seeing Evan and the others around them watching their argument with great interest, as if they wanted to stir up trouble,
He could only glare resentfully at Hark, then forced a smile and explained to Klein:
"Please excuse my poor teaching; it's my fault for not teaching it well. Don't take it to heart!"
In fact, Klein was quite interested in owning an owl he could communicate with, stemming from his memories of movies from his past life. Unfortunately, he had too many secrets and dared not keep his "audience" by his side for long, so he could only regretfully say:
"No problem, I find Mr. Harry very interesting. If you have time, you're welcome to visit me at 15 Minsk Street in the Joewood district!"
The audience can play an extraordinary role in many situations, and Miss Justice is a prime example!
Klein then recounted his search for the pituitary gland and blood of the Thousand-Faced Hunter.
Everyone present said they would keep an eye on Klein.
Catherine Grey also provided a list of weapons for Klein to choose from.
Klein was immediately dazzled by the list of weapons that Catherine Grey had compiled, as the weapons on the list were all cheap, easy to use, and varied in type.
If it weren't for the circumstances, Klein would have loved to shout, "I want them all!"
Finally, based on the size of his wallet and the discount offered by Catherine Grey, he bought an extraordinary pistol and an axe that could unleash lightning.
The reason he didn't buy the extraordinary bullets was because Klein could legally obtain the corresponding bullets through MI9.
Afterwards, everyone discussed with Evan some things about what would happen after they joined the army.
After finishing their conversation, Darkwell left first, and Eisinger Stanton also tactfully left the room.
After watching Isengard Stanton's retreating figure leave the room, Catherine Grey asked directly:
"I saw the notice from the Church of the Night last week saying that you had died in the line of duty, and I was saddened for a while."
I never expected you to still be alive, and even changed your name! How did this happen?
Seeing that Catherine Grey was indeed as expected, Evan directly stated the solution he had discussed with Klein.
He vouched for Klein as a follower of the night.
"So, Klein is currently carrying out a secret mission for the Church of the Night, and you, Evan, are a chosen one of the Goddess of the Night?"
Catherine Grey looked at Evan and Klein with a complicated expression and an ambiguous tone.
"Yes!" Evan and Klein said in unison. "Is that so? So, Evan, did you also report Grandpa Collins's existence to the Church of the Goddess of Night?"
Klein's situation was easy to accept, but Evan's situation caused her concern. After all, Collins was the best person to her besides her parents, and also her guide in the extraordinary world.
After learning about Collins's identity and reviewing relevant information, she realized that it would be difficult for Collins to be accepted by the Church of the True God.
After all, how could someone who hasn't shed blood be the focus of training by the evil god organization, the Morse Ascetic Order?
Evan guessed what Catherine Grey was thinking, smiled slightly, and shook his head, saying:
"I am indeed a follower of the Goddess of Night, but I am not a member of the church. In terms of status, I am on par with the church's higher-ups, and I am only responsible to the Goddess. Therefore, I have no obligation to inform the church of everything."
Hearing Evan's words, Catherine Grey breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt that this was a good thing, because if a god's favorite cooperated with Collins, Collins would not be without a chance to clear his name.
After all, she really wanted to publicly flaunt Collins' existence!
"May I tell Grandpa Collins about your identity?" Catherine Grey asked cautiously.
"Now that I've told you, I had no intention of hiding this identity from Mr. Collins!"
Revealing his identity to Catherine Grey was also a result of Evan's careful consideration.
While it's unclear what methods Robert and Amanda used to subdue Collins, it doesn't mean Irwin couldn't intimidate him by using his connections.
Regardless, Evan's status as a chosen one of the Goddess of the Night is officially certified, so it's not bad to use it to scare people.
After learning of Evan's identity, Collins will conduct a private investigation. Once it is confirmed, he will likely pay even more attention to the brothers Robert and Evan.
Catherine Grey was pleased with Evan's attitude and solemnly promised Evan and Klein:
"Rest assured, I will absolutely not reveal that Klein is still alive! I swear in the name of the goddess!"
"By the way, Grandpa Collins asked me to tell you that he's gotten what he wanted, so he owes you a reward! What do you want?"
After finishing discussing Klein's matter, Catherine Grey relayed Collins's message.
"Grandpa Collins said he can help you hunt a hunter-path demigod, and he will use this extraordinary ability as your reward."
You can also use one of the two Rank 1 sealed artifacts he has as your reward!
It seems Collins has completed the deal with Bernadette, but it's unclear whether Robert has successfully brought her into the party!
Tsk tsk tsk, I can only say that he truly lives up to his reputation as a traitor to the infamous Morse Order? He's willing to kill at the slightest provocation!
Ms. Amanda's party was supposed to start a few days ago, but the anomaly in Backlund forced the party to be postponed.
"Although I expected it, I really didn't expect Collins to have two 'Level 1' sealed artifacts."
Even Evan was shocked by Collins's "extreme wealth". Coupled with the extraordinary characteristics of the "Master of Knowledge" in his possession, he was almost worth half of Silver City!
Klein, on the other hand, was also aroused by the unreserved conversation between Catherine Grey and Evan.
"What did Evan do this time? To get such a generous reward from a high-ranking demigod-level 'craftsman'!"
Having seen the list of weapons Catherine Grey had just given him, Klein could easily deduce that the "craftsman" behind her was a demigod!
"Well, Mr. Collins' enemies have never given up looking for him, so we won't trouble them to do anything."
As for my compensation, I'll have to consider it!
Evan is confident that he can obtain the potion to advance to demigod status, or rather, he has already collected the necessary materials!
Klein and Catherine Grey both had this thought in their minds, but considering that Evan was a chosen one of the Goddess of the Night, it seemed perfectly natural.
This made Klein's desire to pray to the goddess of night and verify his identity even stronger!
Catherine Grey was merely a messenger. Having received Evan's reply, she didn't press further. Instead, she took an envelope from her person, handed it to Evan, and said:
"This contains descriptions of the two sealed artifacts, as well as a potion recipe for 'The Puppet,' which is said to be payment for Miss Sharon."
You can pass it on!
When discussing the deal with Collins, Evan credited Sharon for introducing Collins to the club.
In order to get Evan to do a good job with Bernadette and to show his generosity, Collins used Miss Sharon as a scapegoat, promising that if he and Bernadette made a deal, he would give Miss Sharon the potion recipe for "Puppet" Sequence 4 of the "Prisoner" pathway.
Collins is now fulfilling his promise.
After receiving the envelope from Catherine Grey, Evan didn't open it immediately. Instead, he patted the envelope in his hand and thought to himself that Collins was quite the shrewd fellow!
She is also a very generous and shrewd person.
Collins could have had Catherine Grey directly give the "Puppet" potion recipe to Miss Sharon, since the two of them were quite familiar with it!
But Collins went to the extra trouble of having Evan hand it over.
There's only one benefit to doing this: it makes Sharon even more grateful for Evan's "goodness."
After all, without Evan's help, Miss Sharon wouldn't have gotten this opportunity!
Helping someone obtain the coveted demigod recipe is no small favor!
"It's really hard to connect Collins with the 'Chris' in the file!"
He's more like a politician's all-rounder than a killer!
Evan tore open the envelope, read the information about the two sealed items Collins mentioned, then immediately set it ablaze with fire from his hand. He then looked at Catherine Grey and Klein and said:
"I will pass this on to Miss Sharon. If there's nothing else, let's call it a day! You all go first, I'll be the last to leave!"
Klein sensed something amiss in Evan's words and couldn't help but frown.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own? Why don't we help you?"
Klein clearly guessed that someone had truly lost their mind and was preparing to ambush Evan!
Catherine Grey then realized what was happening, looking at Evan with concern. Evan chuckled and shook his head, saying:
"Don't worry, they're just a few petty thieves. I know what I'm doing!"
Klein knew Evan's personality; if he said there was no problem, then there really was no problem. So he didn't ask any more questions, put on the mask, and left.
Seeing this, Catherine Grey had no choice but to put on a mask and follow closely behind.
After Catherine Grey and Klein left, Isengard Stanton went inside the house and said:
"There are seven people in total, all of them extraordinary. One of them is a Sequence 7, two are Sequence 8, and the rest are Sequence 9!"
Most importantly, these people weren't acting alone; they were in an organized group!
"There are far fewer than I expected. I thought there would be at least twenty or thirty people!"
Evan's high-profile behavior tonight wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was something he had planned with Isinger Stanton long ago.
His high-profile collection of materials today serves two purposes: firstly, to expand his inventory for future planning, and secondly, to help Essinger Stanton purge a group of the most unruly individuals.
As Essinger Stanton's parties grew larger and attracted more attention, they became increasingly mixed with unsavory characters and themselves became less safe.
He has already started preparing to move and find another place, but before finding a new place, he must clear out a group of people to reduce potential risks as much as possible.
Isengard Stanton could have done it himself, but he wasn't as adept at it as Evan, the "hunter" and "assassin."
In addition, Evan found these people useful, so he took the initiative to take on the task.
"Are you sure you don't need my help? These people are organized, not just a bunch of lone wolves. They might even just be testing the waters. Why don't we investigate first and then make our move next time?"
Regarding Isengard Stanton's suggestion, Evan thought for a moment, but in the end shook his head and said:
"If it is indeed a test, then it will be difficult for us to find out the specific situation in a short period of time!"
Moreover, it's difficult to guarantee that the intelligence you gather won't turn out to be a new trap.
If that's the case, then it would be better to strike swiftly and wipe out this group of people.
Firstly, there's the shock; secondly, it makes it impossible for people to figure out our strength.
And don't worry, I'm confident I can handle these people!
Eisinger Stanton thought about it for a moment and felt that Evan's consideration was correct, so he nodded deeply!
