Chapter 53: Messenger of the Halloween Queen ()

"That guy is one of Lu Aosi's personal guards. He usually helps Lu Aosi handle matters for 【Perseus】 and runs errands on the side."

Noticing Leticia's confusion and thinking the other party didn't know the situation, Lin Que explained a few things.

"Don't look at his status as seemingly average; in reality, he is one of the few people in 【Perseus】 with ambition, so he has been dissatisfied with Lu Aosi and 【Perseus】 for a long time."

"Lu Aosi, as the leader, wallows in degradation yet still possesses powerful Gifts and strength."

"And no matter how hard he tries, he never gets the rewards he deserves, instead only treading water."

"For someone trapped by such an environment, you only need to give him a chance, and he will take the bait."

"I see."

Leticia understood what Lin Que was doing immediately.

He had bribed someone inside 【Perseus】 and was having them help with some shady business.

"What reward did you offer?"

"A Divinity, of course, given through a Gift Game."

"That high?"

Leticia was silent for a moment: "What if he can't do it?"

Lin Que smiled: "This matter cannot be exposed. If he can't do it, he will have to keep this secret sealed forever."

"To get the benefits of soaring into the sky, one naturally has to bear the corresponding risks, doesn't one?"

"You are even more vicious than I imagined."

Leticia changed the question: "What about the Divinity? Didn't you sell the Divinity you got from Lady Shirayasha?"

"I have already communicated with Shirayasha's side; I'll just buy it back when the time comes."

Lin Que shrugged: "Of course, using 【Perseus】's assets to buy it back."

Leticia sighed: "I suddenly feel some sympathy for 【Perseus】."

"There's nothing to sympathize with."

Taking Leticia with him, Lin Que began to return the way they came.

"If you really have to say it, shouldn't the most sympathetic in the Garden be the Nameless, who have achieved countless war exploits?"

They clearly repelled the Final Trial of Humanity twice, saving countless people from fire and water.

Yet after losing power, they didn't receive aid from those who had once been helped.

Everyone was wary of the Demon King hiding in the shadows and chose to stand by.

In the end, only Shirayasha, who loved the Garden, chose to stand in the open and extend a helping hand to the Nameless who had made contributions.

Thinking of this, Leticia couldn't help but sigh again.

"You're right."

Leaving the Six Wounds shop, the two strolled around the nearby area for a while.

It wasn't until the sun gradually set that they returned to the Nameless territory in the twilight.

"Lin Que, you're finally back!"

Noticing the return of Lin Que and Leticia, Kuro Usagi ran over, jumping and skipping.

"Come quickly, the Queen's people have been waiting for a long time!"

Lin Que raised an eyebrow: "Queen?"

There is only one person who dares to call herself Queen in this amusement park of gods and Buddhas.

The Star Spirit of Gold and Realm, the only three-digit breaker in the Garden, the Halloween Queen.

"I didn't expect that, Kuro Usagi, your efficiency is quite high."

"Hehe, this actually isn't entirely my credit."

Kuro Usagi touched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Didn't I tell you before? When I was borrowing money, I attracted the Queen's attention, and she sent someone over to negotiate a partnership."

"When I went out a while ago, I happened to run into the Queen's messenger who hadn't left yet, so I brought her back together."

"This is your credit; there's no need to push it away. Just accept the praise with peace of mind."

After offering a rare word of encouragement to Kuro Usagi, Lin Que asked: "Where is the other party now?"

"In the hall."

Inside the hall.

A human woman with pure white long hair tied into a single ponytail, wearing a black and white masquerade mask over the upper half of her face, stood quietly in place.

After an unknown amount of time, upon hearing the sound coming from afar, she turned to look at Lin Que and the others who were gradually approaching.

"Nice to meet you, leader of the Nameless."

Fisi Lei Si took the initiative to speak: "I am the third seat of the Queen's Knights, 【Faceless】 Fisi Lei Si."

Someone from the Queen's Knights?

A look of contemplation flashed in Lin Que's eyes.

The members of the Queen's Knights are mostly people carefully selected by the Halloween Queen who align with her own interests.

These people are not only favored by the Halloween Queen, but their strength is also, without exception, powerful.

It is rumored that the combined combat power of the entire Halloween Queen's Knights can rival a group of gods.

As one of them, the fact that the Halloween Queen sent Fisi Lei Si over shows, to some extent, that she attaches great importance to this matter.

Sure enough, after exchanging a few polite words with Lin Que, Fisi Lei Si moved the topic directly and stiffly to the main business.

"Leader Lin Que, I have come as the Queen's messenger mainly to have a fight with you."

Fisi Lei Si took out dual guns from her Gift Card: "The Queen is very interested in the new leader of the Nameless and wants to understand your strength."

"As long as you can defeat me, she is willing to cover your consumption for one auction item at the upcoming 【Thousand Eyes】 auction."

"Of course, if you lose..."

"There's no need to mention that."

Lin Que interrupted with a smile: "With your strength alone, you still cannot defeat me."

"So, you choose to accept this battle."

Fisi Lei Si, who had been underestimated, was not angry but confirmed again: "Once accepted, there is no turning back."

Lin Que replied: "Although you might think I am arrogant, what I said is just the truth."

"I understand." ===== CHAPTER 55 =====
