Mystery: From Celestial Venerable's Backup to Red Priest

Chapter 85 Klein's Greatest Role

"How is it? Do you feel like something's off?"

Seeing that Evan remained silent for a long time after taking the potion, and since her spiritual vision couldn't detect any signs of him losing control, Natalie couldn't help but ask.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I just experienced the new abilities brought by the potion, and it doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined."

Evan made up an excuse and expressed his feelings.

"Hehehe, Sequence 8 'Instigator' is just a transitional stage in the Assassin's Path. Only after you advance to Sequence 7 will you possess true black magic and other Stand powers, becoming a truly extraordinary powerhouse. And at that time, you will also become a true woman. I can't wait for your advancement."

Natalie teased Evan, who covered his mouth as she looked him up and down, becoming increasingly satisfied.

Evan felt increasingly disgusted, but he could only express his longing for Pusheng.

"Alright, you'll need to be on standby at any time during this period. I'll be screening the members coming from Tingen, and if necessary, I might send you to contact him. You also need to stay vigilant at all times, understand?"

Seeing that Evan had no adverse effects after taking the potion and had obtained a safe house, Natasha, who was about to go and meet Tris, did not try to have more fun with Evan. Instead, she gave Evan some instructions.

Evan thought for a moment, feigned concern, and then, showing a willingness to take on the task, said:

"How about I go and meet him? You can keep an eye on things from the shadows and react if anything goes wrong. That way it will be safer."

Natasha looked Evan up and down, then stroked his cheek with her hand, appearing touched, and said:

"Little brother, are you worried about me? That really touches me. Although there are risks involved, I don't want you to take any risks. If you get hurt, I'll be heartbroken."

As she spoke, she covered her chest with her hand, as if she were truly thinking of her lover.

Despite feeling disgusted, Evan could only play along, their sweet talk making them appear like a truly loving couple who cared for each other.

Perhaps it was time to contact him, because Natasha and Evan only chatted for a while and left without doing anything else. Before leaving, she also expressed that she would fully support Evan's promotion and help him apply for the corresponding promotion materials. She also urged Evan to start acting as soon as possible.

After confirming Natasha's departure through the "Gray Vision," Evan couldn't help but sneer:

"You might not even have submitted the necessary application materials before I've already been promoted."

Evan's momentary daze wasn't just due to the new abilities brought by the potion after his advancement, but also because he sensed that his "Instigator" potion was already mostly digested right after he took it, and he estimated that it would be completely digested in less than a month.

After reflecting on his actions over the past few days, Evan ultimately focused on his instigation of Klein, and sighed inwardly:

The effect of "instigating" Klein was far greater than imagined. Instigating Klein to unleash his evil thoughts and kill with his own hands brought excellent feedback. The higher the sequence of targets being instigated, the better the effect of the performance.

I never imagined that Klein's greatest use to me would be helping me digest the potion.

I just don't know how much of the "Challenger" potion I took will be able to digest. The painting that I had Klein leave at the scene of Mrs. Sharon's capture should have a good stimulating effect on all the official Beyonders in Tingen. Even if their rank is not as high as Klein's, their numbers should be quite large.

Now that I've obtained the "Troll" extraordinary trait from Deputy Director Jonas, and the other auxiliary materials are easy to collect, let's strike while the iron is hot and prepare to advance to "Troll".

With that thought in mind, Evan left the hotel and headed towards the department store in the West Wing. He wanted to buy the distilled spirits, honeysuckle hydrosol, grapevine powder, and water fern powder he needed from the herbal shop inside.

Of these materials, only honeysuckle hydrosol might be slightly less available; the others are not particularly difficult to obtain.

Just as Evan was purchasing the auxiliary materials he needed for his promotion, Klein and Leonard arrived at the "Dragon Bar" in the Tingen Wharf area.

Mrs. Sharon was involved with too many people, so all the members of the Extraordinary Team in Tingen canceled their vacations and dispersed to various places to investigate politicians and wealthy businessmen who were associated with Mrs. Sharon.

At Leonard's request, he and Klein formed a screening team to go to the dock area to screen a follower of the Dark Goddess who owned shares in Enmat Port.

The result was somewhat gratifying. Although the dockworker had bribed the mayor through Mrs. Sharon to develop his business, he was not Mrs. Sharon's confidant, nor was he turned into a follower of the evil god by Mrs. Sharon.

After a busy morning, both Klein and Leonard were itching to team up, and Leonard's offer to team up with Klein clearly indicated that he had something to say.

So, at Klein's suggestion, they went to the famous "Dragon Bar" in the dock area for a meal.

"You didn't even know where the Dragon's Bar was, yet you suggested eating here?"

Leonard brought Klein to the Dragon Bar and asked in surprise when he heard that it was Klein's first time there.

Klein glanced around and casually remarked:

"I'm an expert in the occult now, and I need to buy some materials for my experiments. I'd only ever heard of the Dragon Bar before, but I'd never been here. I thought Old Neil would bring me here."

As he spoke, Klein's tone became somber, and Leonard sighed as well. When he became an Extraordinary,

The potion was also prepared by Old Neil, and he also taught them basic occult knowledge. Old Neil was a mentor to many Night Watch members, and his death is a pain in the hearts of many Tingen Night Watch members.

In silence, Klein and Leonard entered the Dragon Bar.

Since it was midday, the bar wasn't in its peak business hours, so it wasn't noisy at all; in fact, it was quite quiet.

Leonard, with practiced ease, ordered two lunches and then explained them to Klein:

"The owner here is Swain, the former captain of the Punisher squad. After leaving the Punisher squad, he took over this bar and opened an underground trading market."

Although it's called an underground trading market, all the official extraordinary teams know about it and tacitly approve of it. After all, underground material trading is impossible to prohibit, so it's better to let reliable people control it. Therefore, with the help of various teams, this place has become the most comprehensive and diverse underground trading platform in Tingen.

Five percent of all transactions here go to him as venue rental fees. All transactions usually take place in the evening; we've come at the wrong time today.

Hearing Leonard's explanation, Klein understood. He knew this was an official method of monitoring underground material transactions. After the waiter brought out lunch, Klein quietly asked:

"How's your investigation going with that investment deal?"
