Baron Cullen

From what Karen just said, she could tell that Captain Tyron was someone who liked to take advantage of others and seemed to be quite concerned about saving face.

So he gave the other party an extra gold coin, as a small token of appreciation for their status as captain.

Even so, he was at a disadvantage.

But being new to the place, he didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with the other party.

Of course, that's all.

If the other party continues to push their luck, he will no longer show any mercy.

Bringing her thoughts back, Karen smiled faintly and said, "I'd like to treat everyone to a drink; it's just a small token of my appreciation."

I look forward to receiving your guidance and support, Captain and colleagues.

When Tyronn saw the gold coins, his eyes lit up noticeably.

He quickly swept all the gold coins on the table into his own hand, showing no intention of sharing them with the other four team members.

Karen was clearly taken aback upon seeing this.

He looked at the other four people and noticed that each of them had a helpless expression on their face.

The stocky male team member pursed his lips, clearly used to Tyron's behavior, looking angry but unable to speak out.

The middle-aged male player had a look of disappointment in his eyes.

As for the other two female team members...

Kelly, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more.

The young female team member with freckles on her face didn't show much expression, only letting out a slight sigh.

Karen took in all the subtle expressions on the faces of the group and understood the character of their captain, Tyron, within the team.

For a moment, he didn't know whether joining the seventh team was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Haha! Of course, of course!" Tyron's attitude suddenly warmed up. "Baron Karen is truly a good friend! I like sensible young people like you!"

"Come on, let's get to know each other."

He waved to the others in the room and then began to introduce them one by one:

"This guy's name is Jack, a second-tier warrior, and he's incredibly tough!"

Jack, a stocky male team member, smiled憨厚ly at Karen, but his eyes were very lively, suggesting he was an active person.

"That's Kelly, our team's Tier 2 assassin, she's pretty skilled."

Kelly, whose name was called, stopped what she was doing, looked at Karen, and nodded slightly.

"This is Allen. He's a warrior just like me, only a second-tier one, and about the same age as me."

The middle-aged male player, Allen, made a gesture toward Karen, which looked quite unusual.

"And that little girl Maria, a second-tier mage specializing in healing."

Maria, a young girl with freckles on her face, smiled shyly at Karen.

After the introductions, Tyron patted Karen on the shoulder, looking like he had high hopes for him: "Baron Karen, now that you've joined Team Seven, you're the sixth person."

Work hard, and you'll definitely get a lot of credit for following me!

However... remember to report any actions or discoveries to me first, and I will coordinate and arrange them, understand?

Don't follow the unhealthy practices of other teams; having some talent doesn't mean you have to show off.

His last sentence was clearly pointed, obviously a warning to Karen in advance.

Karen had seen through Tyron's character and understood it perfectly.

He maintained a polite smile: "I understand, I will follow your instructions, Captain."

Seeing that Karen was so cooperative, Tyron nodded in satisfaction.

The other four team members noticed that although Karen came from a noble family, she was polite and, most importantly, not arrogant.

He even offered to buy them drinks, and although Tyron pocketed the money, it at least showed his sincerity.

So, Jack and Allen took the initiative to chat with Karen, asking him about his previous experiences in the warband and the rumors circulating in the city.

Kelly and Maria, on the other hand, were a little embarrassed because of their personalities.

The atmosphere in the room of the seventh squad quickly became harmonious.

Karen's calm demeanor and appropriate humility not only made Jack and Allen's eyes light up, but even Kelly and Maria, who were standing nearby, felt a sense of goodwill towards her.

Therefore, he could be considered to have initially integrated into this small group.

Only Tyron, sitting in the main seat, watched Karen and his four teammates laughing and joking, a barely perceptible shadow passing through the depths of his eyes.

This new baron seems to be quite something; he appears to be very good at winning people over.

He didn't want anyone on the team who might threaten his position.

We need to find an opportunity to make this young baron understand who the sole core of the Seventh Squad is.

After a brief period of getting to know each other.

Karen handed the investigation order signed by Fiona to Captain Tyron.

Although Tyron values ​​his position in the team and is somewhat greedy, he still takes the work assigned to him by his superiors very seriously.

His expression changed slightly upon seeing that the investigation order was personally issued by the leader.

He was somewhat curious as to why this new baron could produce an investigation order signed by Fiona so easily.

However, due to Fiona's prestige within the entire Order Keeper division, they were pressured.

Therefore, he didn't think much of it and quickly gave a brief explanation to the team members present.

After hearing this, the group quickly dropped their relaxed expressions from their casual conversation.

They quickly compiled information about the Ralph family and Deauville Ralph, and after checking their weapons and equipment, they went into standby mode.

The whole process was very quick, which surprised Karen, who had just joined.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly recalled the scene he witnessed when he first entered the Order of the Nation branch with Bright.

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry, and the entire building resembled an outpost ready for battle at any moment.

At that moment, he finally understood.

This is how the members of the Order Keepers usually are.

...

The Ralph family has stood in the City of No Breath for decades and can be considered a true old-established noble family.

Therefore, as a residence that could accommodate dozens of people, the Ralph House was naturally built to be extremely luxurious and grand.

Even so, when Captain Tyron led Karen and the others to the mansion gate and displayed the Order Keeper badge and search warrant, the guards at the gate did not dare to stop them in the slightest.

"M-Sir, may I ask what business you have with the head of the household?" The butler of the Ralph mansion asked anxiously as he led them into the living room.

Tyron seemed to enjoy the feeling, and said arrogantly, "Today, there was a case of malicious injury involving a supernatural being at the Mage Association."

The culprit is none other than your young master, and the magic book he claims to have taken from his father's study.

So we'll ask Mr. Dewell what exactly happened.

Soon, Dewey Ralph appeared in public dressed in expensive and glamorous clothes.

He was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, but his face had the typical look of a shrewd businessman.

His face was full of smiles, but a hint of panic was hidden deep in his eyes.

"My lords, what brings you to my residence, Laf? What brings you here?"

Dewell spoke respectfully, attempting to ease the tension.

Captain Tyronn stepped forward.

With a stern face, he presented the investigation warrant again, following procedure: "Sir Dewey Ralph, we suspect you of being involved in an incident involving dangerous magical items and endangering the safety of the city."

Today at the Mage Guild, your son, Sindal Raff, used a spellbook provided by you to summon an evil spirit.

It not only nearly harmed the association's apprentices but also sparked a riot.

So I'd like you to explain the source of that book.

Duwell's smile froze, and he quickly protested, "I'm innocent, sir! That book... that magic book, I bought it from a traveling merchant on the street!"

He said it was some kind of ancient magic book, and I found it quite interesting, so I bought it to broaden my son's horizons. I had no idea that the book would be so dangerous!

If I had known, I would never have bought it!

Karen stood silently to the side, quietly activating the mysterious runes deep within her right eye.

Duvel Ralph was just an ordinary person, so he did not possess any extraordinary elements that shimmered like stars within him.

However, the unique perspective enhanced by the mysterious runes allows one to observe not only the extraordinary but also ordinary things.

He noticed that when Dewell Ralph said those words, there was a very subtle twitch at the corner of his mouth, and he glanced very little to the upper left.

This is a typical characteristic of lying.

And most importantly, although Duvel Ralph is an ordinary person and has no supernatural elements in his body, there is a faint supernatural fluctuation around him!

But as an ordinary person, and claiming to know nothing about that magic book, and even having never opened it...

How could there possibly be any extraordinary fluctuations surrounding his body?
