Chapter 219: Chapter 172: I’m Wanted by the Circus?! (Three-in-One, Vote for Me!)_4
A total expenditure of 60 Silver Ducats.
He didn’t want to buy the items on the exchange list; he couldn’t afford them.
He restrained his intense desire, staring fixedly at thest page of the shop’s list, those ten pieces of hidden paths of Supernatural Knowledge within the “Destiny Faction.”
Pris determined in his heart, “The Guide of Destiny,” Jack, must be following this Sequence path; therefore, he believed this Sequence had a limitless future!
He clenched his teeth secretly, telling himself not to spend money recklessly, he had to save up to buy it!
Only then would he be able to keep up and stand in the same ss as these elite yers around him.
And only then would he be able to go further and fulfill his own dream.

Shortly after the six yers left.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo returned to Jack’s manor once more.
The Horseman had informed them ahead of time, and to their relief, they had not been kicked out of the Circus.
“— Fortunately, we held back that time, did not kill any of Jack’s people… Otherwise, we’d have been wanted like Gan Ziwen and Honey Fool.”
Doghead Gold said with a lingering fear.
“— But we’ve been demoted to ‘outer members’… Now the hidden shop is not open to us; we can’t buy Supernatural Knowledge, bombs, or Immortal Realm tickets.”
Forget No Taboo replied.
“…”
“…”
The two stood at the entrance of the manor, exchanging a nce.
“— But we made sacrifices for the guild, and the big boss of the world put in a request, we have money now!”
“— Well, we still can’t buy Supernatural Knowledge, bombs, or Immortal Realm tickets.”
Forget No Taboo shrugged.
Doghead Gold was stunned, and then sighed.
“— Let’s see what Jack says. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll spend money on Contribution Degree to try and regain ‘full member’ status.”
“— Yeah, but the Circus’s Affection is still disgust.”
“— Shut up! If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all! Can’t you be a bit more optimistic?!”
They entered The Great Gate with some trepidation.
Since they were no longer full members, they dreaded the gatekeeper servants of the Circus might decide to finish them off with a sh.
Fortunately, the gatekeeper merely cast a cold nce at them.
Upon reaching the vi’s first-floor hall.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo saw on the sofa the familiar figure in a ck hat—Gentleman. Beside him sat a woman with messy hair.
She seemed to be sizing them up with a fiery gaze, like a Butcher eyeing a piece of prime beef, considering where to make the cut.
Upon scouting, like the other Circus executives, they were faced with a row of unknown horizontal lines and a bright red “Fatal” warning.
Above her head, the ID disyed “Sick Doctor—Maggie.”
“Two brave strangers from afar, wee back.”
Jack’s familiar voice came through, but itcked its usual warmth.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo, noticing his eyes beneath the top hat cold, felt a jolt in their hearts, aware it was because their Affection was too low due to the previous incident.
“You two originally epted the ‘Circus’s Pursuit Order’ quest, yetter turned your guns around, choosing to oppose the pursuit. This disappoints me greatly,”
Chen Lun shook his head, his tone mncholic.
Doghead Gold swallowed, and Forget No Taboo spoke up:
“Mr. Jack, we deeply regret this. Is there any way we can make amends? We will do everything in our power!”
Chen Lun watched them silently.
The two felt chills down their spine under that cid gaze.
Then, Mr. Jack spoke:
“Considering you didn’t harm your own people, I’ll give you the only chance…”@@novelbin@@
He paused briefly, then added:
“Of course, this will be a very difficult task. Are you willing?”
Their eyes lit up.
There was still a chance!
[Trigger D-level Quest: Fresh Beef!]
Quest Description: The Circus’s Pharmacist, Sick Doctor Maggie, has recently hit a bottleneck in her potion research and is in urgent need of test subjects to assist.

This is Mr. Jack’s Mercy, so grasp this opportunity.
Reward for the quest: Status as a full member of the Circus.
“We are willing! Of course we are willing!”
The two did not hesitate for a moment and chose to ept the quest.
But they werepletely unaware of the excitement in Maggie’s eyes, and the smile creeping up the corners of Mr. Jack’s mouth.
