Chapter 516: Chapter 455: The Power of Money Chapter 516: Chapter 455: The Power of Money âHaha, donât be embarrassed if youâre short on money, just speak up.â
Tao Yuâs Gold Pounds came easily, and he thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being wealthy.
After smiling and waving goodbye to Klein at the doorway, he headed towards his own home.
However, upon entering, Tao Yu paused slightly, seeing Eve waiting for him in his room.
And upon seeing Tao Yu enter and his handsome face, Eve couldnât help but sigh with a complex expression,
âYouâve still chosen this path, huh?
Donât you have any regrets?â
âI just want to become stronger, and I believe that as my Sequence increases, there will eventually be a way.â
Tao Yu said noncommittally.
At the same time, he was still pondering in his mind, since, according to the principle of the immortality of extraordinary characteristics, theoretically, he should be able to obtain Sequence 6 materials from Eve.
However, after glancing at her, Tao Yu thought there should be plenty of witches, so there was no need to focus on her alone.
âŚ
âJust for this?â
Eve found it somewhat incomprehensible.
âJust for this.

I donât want to be at someoneâs mercy again when I encounter an attack next time.
If I canât rely on the organization, then I have to rely on myself.â
Tao Yuâs words left Eve silent for a while.
Previously, when the ballroom was attacked, Tao Yu, who had come to find her, was affected, but the organization itself let it pass without consequence, constantly yielding to the Aurora Society.
He didnât complain outwardly, but perhaps in his heart, there was disappointment with the organization.
Maybe it was this incident that made him make up his mind.
This made Eve feel a surge of anger.
Once again, resentment towards the organization surfaced in her heart, and then she made up some excuse,
âThe organization has a task.
Are you interested in knowing more?â
âAha, itâs not going to involve seducing someone, right?â
Tao Yu laughed at himself mockingly, but seeing Eveâs expression stiffen, it seemed it might actually be the case.
This left him somewhat speechless.
Itâs beyond my capabilities, sorryâŚ
âIt seems that in the eyes of the organization, we are just goods and consumables to be freely dispatched.â
Tao Yuâs sarcastic tone caused Eve to think of something and she fell into silence.
Indeed it was so!
Why did she suddenly become like this?
Was it all the organizationâs manipulation?
Simply treating her as a tool and expendable?
Then she sighed again,
âIf you donât want to, forget it.
But if you do want to advance your Sequence, youâll eventually need to change your mindset.â
âThatâs a matter for later.
So, can I buy the recipe and materials for Sequence 6 with money?â
Tao Yuâs question made Eveâs expression turn a bit odd,
âYouâve just been promoted.â
âJust preparing in advance.â
âYou better assimilate first; you can find me afterward.
I can privately tell you the recipe.â
Eve pursed her lips, seemingly reluctant.
Then, with a disheartened wave of her hand, she left through the window, leaving behind a voice,
âSince youâve already left Becland, it would be better to spend more time outside.
Maybe come back next yearâŚâ
Seeing her departure and hearing her words, Tao Yu also paused for a moment, then frowned.
Was it the incident caused by the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society?
They want me to take refuge?
The implications might be quite significantâŚ
This reminded Tao Yu of the little experience he had summarized from his encounters with witches.
Spreading fearâŚ
âLeave it to the Nightwatcher, then.
Letâs see if I can exchange for some materialsâŚâ
âŚ
âLeonard?
Have you been transferred to Becland?â
In a pub, Tao Yu, cloaked in a hood, looked at Leonard, who had come to meet him, with a bit of surprise.
âYeah, I was assigned here because of a personal acquaintance.â
Leonard seemed much more somber, with a depth in his eyes, perhaps still immersed in the incident of the Evil Godâs progenyâs advent and the loss of a comrade.
He didnât know that Klein was still alive.
âIâve come to learn some things here.
The Aurora Society may be collaborating with the Witch Sect and might be planning something big in Becland, a dangerously big move.
Itâs just that Iâm not too clear about the specifics.â
Leonardâs expression grew serious at the mention of Tao Yuâs words.
The Aurora Society again?
They werenât planning another advent of an Evil God, were they?
Damn it!
Whether itâs the Aurora Society or the Witch Sect, both organizations were a big headache.
In fact, the Church knew many locations, but compared to the public positions they already controlled, they didnât want to strike and have new ones emerge.
đđđđđ°.co
Hence, theyâve been maintaining surveillance.
âWeâve had some suspicions recently but lacked evidence.
The incident in Tingen might be part of it.
If you can get more detailed intelligence, you can request any reward you want, materials and extraordinary items included.â
âIâll try to find a way.
I need the extraordinary characteristic of a witchâs Sequence 6.â
âAll right, I will relay that accurately.â
As Tao Yu and Leonard were concluding their preliminary negotiations and preparing to leave,
Tao Yu suddenly had a sensation of being watched, a vague yet high-level scrutiny!
However, this feeling was fleeting.
The Divinity at the core of Tao Yuâs Mental Body stabilized him, preventing panic, and he left normally, lowering the brim of his hat.
âWhat was that?
Although subtle, it felt more pressuring than the follower of âThe Foolâ I encountered with ZilingesâŚâ
Tao Yu was somewhat puzzled at heart.
Becland truly was a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
He just didnât know why he was being targeted.
Had he been acting that special?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Leonard also left the pub.
As he adjusted his collar, he seemed to mutter,
âDonât look around aimlessly.
I know he might have already taken the Witch Potion.â
âA bit special?
What kind of special?â
âDonât know?
If you donât know, then why bother telling meâŚâ
â`
Leonard seemed to be muttering to himself, but there was also a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The old man talked about something special but also said he didnât know?
He should hold a high positionâŚ
Regarding the entity parasitizing his body, Leonard both sought its help and remained wary of it, but for the moment, their relationship was still one of cooperative advantage.
Especially now that he had resolved to become stronger and seek revenge, he needed to utilize the old manâs knowledge even more.
He must find those guys and slaughter them!
âŚ
âIs there a problem?â
After Tao Yu returned to his dwelling, he was somewhat surprised to see Klein, wearing a jacket, standing at the door.
âYeah, a bit, related to that Ian from before.
Someone wants to catch him, buy his informationââŹâit looks like theyâre not good news.â
âThen just sell it.â
Tao Yuâs words made Kleinâs expression freeze again.
Why can you always say these things so casually?
âIan is also hiding his own situation.
Itâs only a deal for five Gold Pounds, just a pure money transaction.â
Klein tended to be more emotional, and while Tao Yu wasnât emotionless, he generally valued benefits more.
Whenever emotions did come into play, he would also find some profit-driven excuse.
The difference in their ways of thinking led to completely different choices.
âAlright, if you donât want to go against your professional ethics, that canât be helped.
But be careful not to get yourself involved.â
Klein was emotional, and Tao Yu wasnât going to âinciteâ him to betray someone.
Then he suddenly remembered something and added,
âOh, by the way, thereâs an extraordinary gathering tonight.
Are you interested in joining?â
âVery much so!â
Kleinâs eyes lit up.
He had just arrived in Becland and had no channels to any extraordinary gatherings.
And what Tao Yu mentioned was the gathering hosted by Mr.
A; there happened to be one tonightâŚ
âŚ
Although Tao Yu didnât specifically instruct him, Klein still disguised himself a bit and followed Tao Yu to the building next door.
There were a few people scattered around who hadnât gone in yet, including Hugh and Fors.
âThe lady didnât come?â
Tao Yu casually said to the two as he approached,
âThis is a fellow countryman of mine.
I brought him to get a glimpse of the world.â
âHer identity definitely isnât suitable for showing up often, but last timeâs payment has been settled.
We each got four hundred pounds.â
Hugh said to Tao Yu in a low voice.
This left Klein speechless on the side.
Whatâs the situation?
Why can you talk about hundreds of pounds of deals so easily and casually?
âA very generous employer.â
Tao Yu praised and then followed Hugh to knock on the door and went inside.
This time they were among the earlier arrivals, and not many people were there yet.
However, Hugh had already spotted âSheriff Potion Recipeâ written on the blackboard.
Seeing a Sequence 8 potion recipe as soon as he entered, Klein also had some expectations for this extraordinary gathering.
After learning the rules, he hesitated for a while but still whispered to Tao Yu,
âI donât have enough money on me now.
If thereâs a recipe for my Sequence 7 potion, could you lend me some money first?â
âNo problem, just write it down.
I have plenty of money.â
Tao Yu savored the feeling of being wealthy, which brought a wave of bravado to Klein who also breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Klein found a servant and wrote down on a piece of paper that he was seeking the âClownâ subsequent potion recipe.
Indeed, he didnât even know the name of his Sequence 7 potion yet; he only knew that the previous two were related to the circus.
He hoped the next one wasnâtâŚ
Meanwhile, Tao Yu took the opportunity to buy a lot of extraordinary materials, as well as books and notes on extraordinary knowledge.
After becoming a Witch, the use of various rituals, magic, and techniques all seemed very handy.
And since Tao Yu had studied magic in the Fate world, his transition to using Witch skills after partly clearing his negative reputation was perfectly smooth.
Combined with his own Enlightenment, he only needed to hurriedly absorb some knowledge and localize it to gain quite a few tricks.
Making amulets at the Mystical Club was just a minor demonstration of his abilities.
These materials, once bought, could also be used to try making amulets for practice.
While Klein nervously considered borrowing money for a single recipe, watching Tao Yuâs massive purchasing spree left him feeling a bit lost.
Why is there such a big difference between transmigrators?
Did you print your own Gold Pounds?
Itâs too stimulating.
Even with money, isnât that a bit extravagant?
Are all these materials useful to you?
However, until the end, nobody paid any attention to Kleinâs request, and Fors didnât gain anything either.
Only Hugh, after receiving the âNightwatcherâsâ potion, put forward another request, asking for someone to âexorcise evilâ.
âWhatâs up?
Possessed by something?
Why didnât you come to me?â
Tao Yu said with a laugh to the still short figure even after being propped up.
He also seemed a bit eager to try as he had just learned a âfolkâ cleansing ritual at the Mystical Club today and was keen to test it out.
What a perfect test subjectâŚ
This made Hugh appear somewhat embarrassed, mumbling without speaking, seemingly too shy to explain the reason.
It was Fors who spoke up in complaint,
âThis girl, while reading, accidentally recited the revered name of a mysterious being and was worried about being noticed, so she wanted an exorcism.
I was almost driven to tears by her foolishness.â
Forsâs words caused both Klein and Tao Yu to pause.
Tao Yu himself had recited the name of The Fool, and Klein thought about someone who seemed to have recited it before.
Could it possibly be one of the two that Miss Justice wanted to investigate?
Could it be these two?
Linking that to Tao Yuâs apparent acquaintance with Justice and the lavish spending, could it be that the lady they had mentioned before was Miss Justice herself?
Was Tao Yuâs money coming from Miss Justice?
Tao Yuâs thoughts were nearly the same.
Had this guy prayed to Mr.
Fool?
If it was Mr.
Fool, then actually, there wouldnât be much to worry aboutâŚ
