Chapter 274: Royal Exhibition (Please Subscribe)

"Do not use your mortal mind to speculate on the thoughts of the gods... My Lord favors you greatly, Kobo Phil... Do not forget, after defecting from the Shadowless Cult, it was we who have been funding you, cultivating you, and even preparing to help you unlock the Fourth Primordial Substance... These are all the will and grace of my Lord... Once you become a Non-human Existence, you will be a God's Favored of the God of Suffering! His vanguard! His proxy on earth!"

The cultist said in an admiring tone: "This is a glory that we could not reach even after thousands of kowtows; you should be grateful."

Kobo Phil sneered: "No, you are just planning to use me... You use me to commit crimes all over Plymouth to attract the attention of the Investigation Bureau... Or rather, to give the person behind you an excuse, to give his collaborators in the upper echelons of the kingdom an excuse to let the Investigation Bureau focus on those more sensational matters, like me! Instead of noticing your schemes and tricks! I am a Magician; never try to deceive a Magician who excels at manipulating the hearts of the audience."

"You are very clever..." The cultist holding the statue of the God of Suffering was silent for a long time, and above that scarlet figure, light seemed to fall.

The darkness inside the sewer gradually became dense.

"Controller of thorns and blood.

"Aaron, I'm afraid you didn't just come for this little matter this time, did you?" Halsey asked.

Whether it is a gang or a secret force, they are always very sensitive about territory.

"It's just that this Magician is indeed very difficult to catch." Halsey then sighed: "You must have guessed that behind this Magician, there must be a major force supporting him. Otherwise, his whereabouts would have been divined long ago."

"What a coincidence... There is a sensational piece of news about him recently, do you want to know?" He blinked and asked.

After exchanging greetings, seeing Aaron's slightly solemn expression, Halsey asked hurriedly.

And related to William, there were only the Blood Garment Club and the Ma Li Street cases recently!

This allowed Aaron to easily lock onto the suspect, but there is no need to go into detail about that.

Favored of depravity and scarlet.

Aaron smiled: "As for me, I will rest for a period of time. Well, with William."

"Royal Art Exhibition?" Aaron asked.

"Yes..." Aaron said to Halsey: "I came here this time mainly to notify you to change the location of the Taoism marker for the Hunter Bar..."

The cultist's voice gradually dissipated, the depravity and darkness in the sewer slowly receded, and everything turned into dead silence...

"Damn it, this Kobo Phil... He knows full well that my castle is behind the bar; he is provoking me!" A flash of anger immediately crossed Halsey's face.

This ability to move quickly made even Aaron very envious.

He walked up to the third-floor reception room and called for a waiter: "I want to see Mr. Halsey!"

Great God of Suffering."

"Gelin, what happened?"

Halsey raised his hands to signal surrender: "Well... this Mr. Kobo Phil just sent a postcard to Momora Field today."

In terms of setting up passages, Aaron felt that Halsey had some strange quirks, which might be due to the influence of his own horrific teleportation experiences.

Fortunately, the entrance to this castle can be moved at will; the door at the bar can be closed directly, and then another place can be found to reset it.

Neither Halsey nor Aaron wanted to confront the Investigation Bureau head-on, because there was no benefit in that.

The waiter hurried away, and not long after, Halsey, dressed in full regalia, pushed the door open and entered.

Through previous divination, Aaron had generally confirmed that there was a huge conspiracy behind Kobo Phil, and it was directly related to William.

Aaron could take William into hiding for a while; he turned his head to look at William and found that the boy was indeed full of emotion.

"Something did happen." Aaron briefly introduced the incident of Kobo Phil coming to the bar to cause trouble tonight.

The cultist began to chant the honorific name of the God of Suffering, and just as the atmosphere became even more tense, he suddenly changed to a gentle voice and said: "Kobo Phil... tell me your choice!"

Halsey picked up the top one, glanced at it slightly, and suddenly laughed.

"Alright, alright, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."

"No problem, I can give it to you at the lowest price, or deduct it from the casting fee." Halsey snapped his fingers, and a waiter immediately stepped forward. After being instructed by him, the waiter bowed and went out, returning with many documents.

"Then, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes, I want to buy some information about the Magician." Aaron answered frankly.

The closer one is to the gods, the less pious one is.

He thought with satisfaction in his heart.

Halsey suddenly felt a sense of relief: "It's great that you can think of this... I promise you that the ownership of this entrance will still be yours."

Kobo Phil suddenly laughed and performed a comical bow like a clown: "The great 'God of Suffering' has descended in person; of course, I can only choose to cooperate... I have already seen that door. As long as I perform one more grand show, I can advance during the ritual and become a true 'Shadowless One'! This is my lifelong pursuit!"

In the corridor, William followed behind Aaron, head bowed and ears submissive, as humble as a servant.

At Kobo Phil's level, he had already vaguely guessed that the God of Suffering was nothing more than a high-level Extraordinary.

"Well, it's hosted by the Royal Family, displaying a portion of their treasured gems, famous paintings, statues, and other art pieces. It's mainly for showing off; don't believe what they say in school about cultural edification or atmosphere..." Halsey curled his lips: "And the host is the Sodom Royal Family, so... you know."

After all, he had always been secretive about his own whereabouts, and the only flaw in the Hunter Bar was William.

Aaron was speechless for a moment: "Speak plainly, Halsey..."

Or even, it is directly that leader of the Desire Spirit Sect!

Halsey's Moving Castle.

Even if the bar were exposed, the only one who would be unlucky would be the identity of Gelin Bote, which has nothing to do with the middle-aged man renting at Fenghuang jie 27 hao.

Such an incident happening at the Hunter Bar tonight could not be kept under wraps; it would surely spread like wildfire the next day, thereby attracting the attention of the Investigation Bureau.

It could be a door in an alley, the inner wall of a cupboard, or even the sewer entrance of any flush toilet.

'Hmm, with a little more training, he'll be a decent manservant.'

"He announced that on February 11th, which is next Thursday, at the 'Royal Art Exhibition', he will steal Queen Ma Li's diamond necklace—the Ocean Heart. That is a very famous and valuable piece of art!"

"I look forward to it..."

"The dignity and face of the Royal Family will never allow this exhibition to be stopped just because a threatening letter was received." Aaron thought about the habits of the nobility and spoke.

"Yes, in the older Fabri Dynasty, for the sake of a little face, two noble families would even mobilize private soldiers to start a war. How boring..." Halsey commented lightly.
