    “Taking over… you even know this term. It seems you’ve gathered quite a bit of information within the Alchemy Cathedral subdivision. Thank you for your hard work, Denise.” Nnd Leeughed.


    “It’s what I should be doing, don’t keep saying thank you.” Denise snorted.


    Nnd chuckled and soon noticed the door handle of the guest room turning.<div>


    “Alright, Denise, I’m busy now.”


    “Mm, I’m going home now. There are too many people in the Alchemy Cathedral’s subdivision…”


    Denise’s voice disappeared in his mind.


    Nnd looked at the slowly opening door and saw not Philia, but the peeking Betty.


    “What’s wrong, Betty? What are you sneaking around for?” Nndughed at her secretive appearance.


    “My brother just came to the Kitty Shop to look for me. He said his Alchemical Cube was found by the Golden Commerce Guild. It was the Razor Gang who hired the Illegal Alchemists of ck City to attack his Mechanical Spider…”


    Betty stood outside the door, sticking her head into the room, staring at Nnd with a serious expression on her small face, as if trying to see something from his face.


    Nnd was surprised for half a second after hearing the news, as if he had just learned about it himself.


    He pped his hands andughed:


    “That’s great news, Betty. We only investigated that the Razor Gang was involved in this, but we didn’t expect the Golden Commerce Guild to solve the problem for us first.”


    Betty blinked her bright eyes, looking suspiciously at Nnd. Her thin eyebrows knitted together beneath the orange bangs:


    “Huh? You didn’t know about this…”<div>


    Nnd was bewildered and “Yes, I didn’t know about it until you told me. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely told you. What’s the matter?”


    “It’s nothing, nothing…” Betty muttered and closed the door:


    “I thought you were the one who gave the clue to the Golden Commerce Guild. Hmph, it made me angry. I wanted to give the Razor Gang a good beating…”


    “Click.” The door closed.


    Nnd awkwardly touched his nose.


    This silly girl, Betty, is really impulsive, actually thinking about getting into trouble with the Razor Gang by herself.


    Just as Nnd was about to show an amused expression, he saw the door being quietly opened again.


    Nnd quickly hid his smile, picked up the tea cup instead.


    With a puzzled look on his face, as if he had been interrupted while drinking water, he looked at the little head sticking out from behind the door:


    “What’s wrong, Betty? You’re acting strange today.”


    “It’s nothing, nothing… I just wanted to look at you… You look handsome in that outfit, and it’s very easy on the eyes.”


    Betty’s head was squeezed in the crack, only showing her forehead and eyes to Nnd.<div>


    She took another look at the confused Nnd and then closed the door again.


    Nnd activated “Life and Death Tracking”, watching Betty leave the corridor, he felt a sigh of emotion.


    What a quirky girl with so many tricks up her sleeve, even knowing how to make aeback.


    In my two lifetimes, I have had a lot of experience and quick reactions. I can’t fool you, a little girl?


    Hehe!


    Nnd’s lips showed a smile as an “old ginger”, enjoying the leisurely tea, the scenery, and patiently waiting for Philia’s reply.


    He never considered taking credit for himself in front of Fars and Betty. That’s because the process of recounting the events would inevitably involve sensitive content.


    Fars was fine, he was a “straight man” who focused on alchemy experiments. He was simple-minded. For someone he trusted, he would believe whatever they said. Nnd could easily dismiss Fars’ desire to get to the bottom of things with just a few words.


    But Betty was different. She was clever and cunning, with many thoughts in her head. On one hand, she maintained a cute and innocent image of a good sister in front of her brother, on the other, she quietly stirred up trouble. If Nnd talked too much with her, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.


    Therefore, Nnd decided not to tell the two about what he had done behind the scenes.


    At least not now.


    When this memory fades away in a year or two, bing Fars’ boasting capital and Betty’s lingering question, Nnd would consider telling them the truth.<div>


    Why do it like this?


    It’s simple.


    Nnd Lee will leave Alchemist Ind and won’t return for a short time.


    After he leaves, the rtionships between people will fade.


    If he wants to ask Fars Scott for a favor, he needs a topic to narrow the distance.


    In that case, a true story hidden from history will undoubtedly win Fars Scott’s sincere gratitude. After that, asking Fars Scott for help will be a natural step.


    If Fars Scott does not be a high-grade alchemist at that time, Betty Davis, as his sister, will also agree to help due to her rtionship with Nnd.


    Nnd spends his time browsing through the books in his mind.


    Philia has not returned yet.


    This is a good thing.


    It means that the meeting between Elemental Judgement and Morster is underway.


    About half an hourter, Philia entered the room with seriousness.


    “Thank you for conveying the message, Ray Lee.”


    Philia forced a smile, took out a coin card, and handed it over:


    “Please ept this. It’s a token of gratitude from Elemental Judgement.”


    Nnd took the coin card and nced at it. Therge amount of 100,000 coins sparked his imagination.


    “Philia, isn’t this a bit too much? I only ryed a message, and Morster already gave me a reward.” Nnd asked while holding the coin card.


    Philia pushed the coin card back:


    “Not at all, not at all. It’s quite appropriate. If you hadn’t helped Morster convey the message and provided us with information, Elemental Judgement would have suffered heavy losses in the ck City. Compared to that, 100,000 coins are nothing. This is my teacher’s intention; please just ept it.”


    “Alright then, I’ll ept it.” Nnd pocketed the coin card before asking:


    “Is the situation very serious?”


    “Yes, it’s very serious. ording to the detailed information Morster provided, there is a trace of the Soul-stealing Overlord in ck City.”


    Nnd gasped slightly:


    “The Soul-stealing Overlord? The rumored dead Annihting Wizard Level criminal? Didn’t the Wizard Enforcement Department say that the Soul-stealing Overlord and his magic ne were annihted by extraterrestrial space pollution?”


    Philia shook her head and said:


    “I don’t know the specifics. We will only know once the Wizard Enforcers arrive to investigate. We only know that Morster’s intelligence shows that there is a ‘Soul-stealing Wizard’ in ck City with an unclear origin and unknown strength. The Wizard Enforcers, who were originally scheduled to arrive at Alchemist Ind in a month and a half, will hurry up. As for whether the Law Enforcement Department will send more enforcement wizards, I don’t know. They have always been secretive about the situation of the enforcement wizards, and this time is no exception.”


    Nnd waved his hand:


    “I hope everything goes smoothly. I’ll leave now, Philia.”


    “I’ll walk you to the door.”


    As the two talked about the situation in ck City, they walked toward the manor gate.


    Nnd said goodbye to Philia. On his way back, he told Denise Green about the situation.


    Denise was shocked and speechless when she heard that there was a Soul-stealing Overlord’s wizard in ck City.


    It’s not her fault.


    It is rumored that more than ten years ago, the Soul-stealing Overlord angered the Wizard Enforcement Department and was hunted down. The two sides had a fierce battle outside the Star Filtering Net. The Soul-stealing Overlord was seriously injured and escaped, identallying into conflict with an extraterrestrial space pollutant.


    The Soul-stealing Overlord “lost his head” to this extraterrestrial space pollutant, and the Wizard Enforcement Department announced that he had been killed in action.


    The terrifying thing about the Soul-stealing Overlord was his “Soul-stealing” technique.


    Nnd had collected so many soul fragments and could be considered an expert in obtaining Soul Strength. But the Soul Strength he had gathered was all absorbed from corpses and dead bodies.


    The Soul-stealing Overlord was powerful. Before bing an Annihting Wizard Level criminal, he was a professor experienced in the branch of soul-stealing with the(evil)magical skill of forcibly extracting souls. Now, this branch no longer exists.


    The effect of Soul-stealing Magic on plundering Soul Strength is far more powerful than “Soul Absorption.” Simply grabbing a living creature allows it to steal the soul from the target.


    The stronger the Soul-stealing Wizard, the more souls they can forcibly take away.


    The Soul-stealing Overlord was at the top of the Soul-stealing Wizards and oncemitted the heinous crime of sucking a million souls at once. This evil deed angered the Wizard Enforcement Department, leading to a series of subsequent battles and unexpected events.
