Chapter 515: Chapter 454: Mode of Digestion Chapter 515: Chapter 454: Mode of Digestion “This is a Lucky Charm Amulet, it can bring good luck.”

Tao Yu found himself well adapted to this club that lay between commoners and extraordinaries, as its members were already a bit eccentric and had an exceptional acceptance for extraordinary things.

Some amulets he casually made using his knowledge of mysticism proved to be quite popular, attracting a cluster of chattering women around him.

Since Tao Yu himself had no need to earn money, these hand-carved amulets, which did have a touch of mystic effect, were in high demand.

It’s just that sometimes the female members who came over were a bit touchy-feely.

“Mr.

Soxy, your skin is so nice, how do you take care of it usually?”

“Tsk tsk~, look at these eyelashes, they’re so enviable, they’re natural.”

“So smooth.”

“…”

This made Tao Yu, who initially came to digest a Witch Potion, gradually realize that many of these women were not really there for the amulets, as they would, from time to time, sneak a touch.

And they were getting bolder and bolder.

…

“So this is a Witch Potion?

The Instigator’s ‘Incite’ can be turned off at will, but a witch is a bit troublesome, isn’t she?”

Tao Yu pondered.

At this moment, the proud-looking girl, whom he had been paying close attention to, also came over, picked up one of the amulets Tao Yu had laid out, and examined it carefully.

Then she said in a tone full of admiration,

“Not bad, much better than those quacks.

You have a good understanding of mysticism; you invoked spirituality while carving.”

When Tao Yu saw her approaching, he was ready to see if she had any advice for him.

But who knew this simpleton would just blurt out such a statement.

Lady, even though this is a mysticism club, as an extraordinary, you’re being too casual.

Even a newcomer like me knows the common sense of not to reveal oneself as a wild extraordinary.

“Haha, yes, I’ve studied quite a bit of mysticism…”

Tao Yu responded offhandedly.

He now understood that in this world, if ordinary people were exposed to enough knowledge of mysticism, they could also create effective amulets, using only their own spirituality, which was why he offered them.

This level should be attainable for a mysticism enthusiast.

But when this arrogant noble lady blurted it out, it was no different from saying ‘I am an extraordinary’…

With her lecturing demeanor, Tao Yu felt she might know even less about the extraordinaries than he did, wondering where she got her Witch Potion from.

“But maybe I’m the one who hastily crammed knowledge, and this person is how a typical wild extraordinary would act?”

Tao Yu wasn’t sure about her background, but she was at most a rank nine, probably having recently obtained her abilities, just unsure of her path…

…

“It has some effect, but not much.”

As Tao Yu left the club in the night, feeling the level of digestion of the Witch Potion, he was somewhat speechless.

He found that giving away the amulets did have an effect, albeit one that was almost negligible.

On the other hand, he made some progress after telling some ghost stories similar to ‘The Grave Robbers’ Chronicles’.

“Does it not have to be a disaster?

Fear can work too?”

Tao Yu had some new ideas on how to further perfect his witch disguise.

After returning home and patting his belly, he casually turned the corner and knocked on Klein’s detective agency door.

“Going out to eat, I’m treating.”

Eating alone isn’t much fun; it’s better to have a companion.

Klein also seemed to have just finished his work for the day and came out after tidying up.

“Just eat something simple, there’s no need for somewhere that fancy.”

Even though Tao Yu was inviting him to dinner today, Klein had to consider the future too.

If the other kept taking him to expensive places, would it make sense for him to reciprocate by eating at a roadside stall one day?

“How can you mistreat your own taste buds?

Don’t worry, I’m quite wealthy; I came into a large sum unexpectedly, it’s just that I can’t show it off too much.”

Tao Yu pulled out a wad of 10-pound notes and flashed it before Klein’s eyes, causing him to widen his eyes in surprise—it was at least several hundred Gold Pounds, possibly even a thousand!

And he’s carrying it around just like that?

“Even with so much money, you shouldn’t squander it like this.

You probably haven’t experienced the hard times in this world, where you can’t do anything without money…”

“Don’t worry, I have more than ten times that amount, and you can borrow from me if you’re short on cash.”

Tao Yu’s words made Klein feel a gust of pride blowing in his face, as if the other party was repeatedly slapping his face with a stack of thick Gold Pounds.

For some reason, Klein began to see the brash Tao Yu in front of him as even more handsome.

However, he quickly shook his head, thinking to himself, ‘Have I gone mad, damn it…’

…

“You’re very efficient, have you already solved the case?”

In a high-end restaurant, Tao Yu praised Klein as he scooped up the mushroom cream soup in front of him.

By comparison, he himself had poor results in the clubhouse of mystical arts, only managing to figure out a more fitting approach for his act.

Meanwhile, Klein had found Zerial’s body and completed his task, even learning from Ian about a location in Becland where shady business was handled.

The place for the gray business was in the Bridge Area, on Iron Gate Street at ‘Brave Bar’.

The shared information was helpful for Tao Yu, who could use it to switch identities and inquire about some rumors.

“Mystical arts make solving cases quite convenient,

Klein also self-mockingly admitted that he didn’t feel much like a detective.

“You’re better than me.

I spent the whole day with those ladies, accomplishing nothing, except for finding out that spreading fear and thrills seems to aid in digestion.

Do you think spreading rumors that a major disaster is about to hit Becland might help me digest?” Tao Yu said with a hint of eagerness.

Creating a biochemical virus was something he couldn’t bring himself to do, but simply spreading rumors seemed to be no big deal.

“Ah, this…”

Once again, Klein heard Tao Yu’s ruthless remarks, recalling how effortlessly Ian had uttered ‘I’ll break your legs’, Klein was rendered speechless.

Despite being a former Nightwatcher and an official, Klein cautiously responded,

“If Becland experiences widespread panic, it could be a disaster for the common people at the bottom, and it might even draw out official extraordinaries.”

Klein knew that for the true underclass, they might not even know where the next day’s food would come from, and a break in their work could mean many would starve.

“Alright then,”

Tao Yu wasn’t really a demon; although he had his blind spots, Klein’s subtle reminder made him aware of the problems involved.

“But spreading fear is indeed a bit troublesome, Witch…

uh…”

Klein unintentionally mentioned the name of the Magic Potion, but he abruptly stopped, flustered, worried about reopening Tao Yu’s wounds.

“There’s nothing wrong with mentioning it.

As long as I don’t change, professions are just passing phases.

When I become a god or find another way, all these issues will be resolved,” Tao Yu said, prompting Klein to contemplate.

Having read Emperor Roselle’s diaries, Klein had some speculations, but he didn’t expect Tao Yu to harbor such grand ambitions.

For Klein, he didn’t like the burden of being an extraordinary.

His ambition to become stronger wasn’t that great.

He was only pushing forward because he wanted revenge, which had thrust him into his predicament.

“Becoming a god is a bit too exaggerated; surviving steadily in this world comes first,” Klein sighed.

“So, are you working as a detective now to take revenge on those two ‘wanted criminals’?” Tao Yu asked with some curiosity.

“It’s not for my own revenge,”

Klein’s face grew heavier, as he had confirmed that it was very likely that old Neil had also lost control due to the influence of that person!

And that scam artist; together they had done something that not only ‘killed’ him once, but also dragged many innocents from that street into their scheme.

Watching helplessly as Megose consumed passersby to add to her own power while he tried to stop her with his life, Klein was still deeply shaken.

And if it hadn’t been for Tao Yu, Captain Dunn would probably have been…
