Chapter 126: Gatherings and News (Dedicated to You Are My Despicable Alliance Leader)

Night.

Aaron gazed at the location of the ruins laid out on the desk before him.

He pondered for a moment and tossed a gold coin: "It will be very dangerous for me to explore the ruins!"

Snap!

The gold coin landed on the map, heads up, indicating a certain affirmation!

He nodded and performed a few more divinations, confirming that waiting until he advanced to 'Light Shepherd' and made the corresponding preparations before exploring those ruins was the choice with less danger.

"But divination cannot be fully trusted either. Perhaps by the time I advance, that Sothoth Mausoleum will have already been explored and cleaned out by others, thus decreasing the danger..."

She had even made an appointment with 'Beast' last time to explore the ruins together, but she hadn't expected the other party to stand her up.

Aaron just liked dealing with good people.

Bamian did not show the slightest dissatisfaction at being disturbed in the middle of the night; instead, he bowed deeply, his tone filled with respect.

Some Extraordinary individuals even waited for several years or even over a decade!

"I can't be this late... Hmm, these materials belong to the 'Sun' domain; those 'Sun' Cults should have materials in this regard... for example, the 'Craftsman Brotherhood', but unfortunately I have no channels..."

And to Bamian and the others, this kind of 'person appearing out of thin air' magic only further deepened their awe for the mysterious person.

The two lackeys guarding the door saw a figure slowly walk out of the darkness; the other party was wearing a black windbreaker and a silver Raven Mask—it was the mysterious person the boss had ordered them to be especially respectful and careful with!

Aaron glanced over and felt that the other party might be the one competing for territory with 'Beast', likely controlling several gangs.

This 'Cleric' seemed to have discovered some corrupt secrets of the Green Forest Church and wanted to expose them; he possessed a relatively strong sense of justice and might be a good person.

"However, in the last gathering, 'Cleric' Nicholas Inamu no longer sought to purchase 'Sun' inheritance; it seems he has found the corresponding channel, so I can try to start with him..."

Aaron asked casually.

Aaron glanced at 'Cleric' Nicholas Inamu and found that the other party remained silent.

"Respected sir, what are your orders?"

Miss 'White Dove' sat back down in disappointment.

August 27th, Friday, night.

Aaron nodded inwardly and spoke: "Pay attention to one place for me: Iver Bridge District, a wall on Weasel Street... Once there are any new Talismans on it, copy them down immediately and hand them to me!"

His voice was neutral, with no distinguishing features.

The phantom swaggered into the warehouse and made a hoarse sound: "Let Bamian come see me!"

Aaron sighed, feeling the Spirituality within him reaching the peak of 'Light Bearer', and considered his advancement problem once again.

Having lackeys is quite convenient for these matters.

"There are quite a few members here tonight..."

"'Beast' is probably already dead; his territory has been taken over by another unknown Extraordinary..." a masked person spoke up.

Aaron saw that Clark and Bruce were also mixed in among them.

'This is probably because those gunmen witnessed the existence of "Extraordinary" individuals, and the Extraordinary behind the hostile gangs have therefore maintained rationality and restraint... After all, the unknown is the most terrifying!'

"Thanks to the swift actions of the Investigation Bureau, Chris has already been arrested and executed at the Auguf Auction House... After the case comes to an end, the patrol pressure on the Investigation Bureau will also decrease a little..."

"How has your club been lately?"

One Extraordinary after another stated their needs, and Aaron also reported the Sunbird Feather and other materials he needed once again, during which he specifically observed the reaction of 'Cleric' Nicholas Inamu, finding that the other party had no physical movements.

"According to our previous agreement, if you have anything, leave a secret sign outside the warehouse..."

'Jazz' did not sell any magical potions this time, but instead directly signaled for the gathering to begin.

Bamian answered fluently.

After a circle of people finished stating their needs, 'Jazz' tapped the tabletop lightly and smiled: "Tell everyone a piece of good news: the Benjamin case has been solved! The murderer's mysterious mentor has also been found, confirmed to be Chris Tuoya of the Green Forest Church... Hmm... 'Cleric's' intelligence last time was very accurate; there were indeed priests in the Green Forest Church who had fallen into corruption..."

Underground gathering.

Not long after, Bamian hurried over while pulling up his pants, not knowing if he had just come down from the bed of some streetwalker.

"No wonder there are so many participants today..." Bruce muttered in a low voice.

According to Clark's later consolation, this situation of not being able to purchase one's desired items was the norm at the gatherings.

The long-backed chairs were almost filled with Extraordinary individuals, and there were many more masks.

"However, I don't have a rigid requirement for the things there; this bit of waiting is bearable..."

Unfortunately, neither complete Sunbird Feathers, nor Sun God stone powder, nor even 'Sun' holy water were things that could be found easily.

Miss White Dove's tone was slightly weak, and she looked around again: "Hasn't 'Beast' come?"

This was, of course, a phantom created by Aaron; he himself was hiding in the darkness not far away, directing this scene.

When 'Apprentice' Bruce also stood up to announce his purchase of historical artifacts, Aaron saw Miss 'White Dove' next to him stand up.

Thinking of this, Aaron changed into a black cloak and climbed out the window.

"Those enemies have retreated and maintained the previous division of territory; this is all due to your prestige, sir!"

After Aaron finished speaking, he manipulated this phantom and it directly vanished.

At this time, another Extraordinary spoke up: "Auguf Auction House? I was there at the time; there was actually an arrest operation? It felt as exciting as having bullets whiz past one's ears... *cough cough*... The news I actually want to tell is that there was a precious collection at the auction—the 'Green Forest Ring of Power'; it was eventually bought by Lord Rake, but it was mysteriously stolen on the way back..."

"I need... hmm... a potion to expel curses, or a 'Sun' Extraordinary, as well as help from Extraordinary Abilities of the same path; the price is negotiable!"

"As you command!"

Bamian nodded; this was not a difficult matter.

Dock District, Iron Fist Gang warehouse.

Somewhat to Aaron's surprise, Bamian's news came very quickly; within a few days, he took the initiative to mark a secret sign outside the warehouse and delivered a brand-new symbol cipher chart into his hands.

"This is very normal; most Extraordinary individuals who worship the Green Forest Earl like to collect personal items of that Green Devil..."

An old woman's voice rang out, carrying a teasing tone: "And Lord Rake... although he is a big shot in Green Forest City and perhaps can afford to hire one or two Extraordinary bodyguards, he cannot resist Extraordinary individuals who specifically target his collection..."
