Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

All human discoveries of laws are summaries of world phenomena by our predecessors.

Although no one knew exactly what the Law of Extraordinary Properties Convergence was, similar sayings were always circulating in Earl Hall's circle.

The power of the extraordinary is always accompanied by misfortune and danger—he knew this clearly.

Most ordinary people will never encounter an extraordinary event in their entire lives.

Or, even if they did encounter it, they wouldn't know it was an extraordinary event, and they would die in a daze, without understanding why.

But once someone has been exposed to even one dangerous and extraordinary event and survived by sheer luck, they will most likely never be able to escape it for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Earl Hall would generally avoid engaging in matters related to the extraordinary and would keep his distance from those who are extraordinary.

He gave the same advice to his own family.

But little did he know that after a lifetime of walking on thin ice, he would fall victim to his own daughter's tricks.

How relaxing, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

His body was telling him this, but Earl Hall's reason was desperately trying to deny this comfortable feeling.

Even if his legs were trembling with fear and unable to move, it would be better than having them as easy to control as they are now.

My mind and spirit are more active as my physical condition improves, but my fear and lingering dread are just as strong.

He had never been so consciously terrified.

Nevertheless, thinking of his beloved daughter, Earl Hall's heart tightened a little, but he also gained some courage.

Under An Ruowang's calm gaze, he steeled himself and cautiously asked:

"Sir, please forgive my intrusion, but what brings someone of your stature to my daughter's side? If there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask, just please don't harm her..."

That was precisely why he came here today.

However, his attitude had to change because of Aleister's change in status.

Wow, they even have face-changing performances to watch!

I think Backlund is truly the most formidable pass in the world; even the intangible cultural heritage of the old era has successors here.

An Ruowang actually harbored no ill will towards Earl Hall.

It was Earl Hall who came looking for trouble today; otherwise, he wouldn't have been interested in Earl Hall at all.

He smiled slightly and reassured her:

"Please relax, don't be nervous, Count."

"If it weren't necessary, I wouldn't have wanted to reveal my extraordinary nature to strangers."

Upon hearing this, Earl Hall could only manage a strained smile to demonstrate his "non-nervousness."

It's like trying to imagine a pink elephant in your mind; the more you try to calm down, the more nervous you become.

An Ruowang continued:

"I think I've already answered this question before. It wasn't me who wanted to contact your daughter, Miss Audrey; it was she who approached me first and offered to help me with my tax issues."

To become extraordinary.

The divination indicated that he should go to the banquet in Grynth and something good would happen, so he went.

And that was indeed the case.

If it weren't for Audrey, An Ruowang wouldn't have even thought that he would have to pay taxes to the Kingdom of Rune.

After all, the implementation system adopted in China is different. The tax burden in Luen is heavy, there are many categories, and the tax law is ridiculously complicated. Moreover, it is a declaration system, which requires taxpayers to actively declare their taxes.

If you underreport, you'll definitely have to make up the difference, and there might even be fines and penalties.

But what if you pay too much?

I'm sorry, this was your own choice, so there's no refund.

You want the money that's already in my pocket back?

As for why the formula was sold to Audrey's audience?

It was something that came easily to me.

Someone has to make money, so why can't that person be me?

"..."

Earl Hall was heartbroken, and what was most painful was that he couldn't show it.

Audrey, oh Audrey, how could you be so bewitched by this man's looks?

Being deceived is one thing, but how come this man also happens to be an extraordinary being?

Could it be that I was too strict with them before?

Earl Hall had seen far too many examples of aristocratic families.

Children who are strictly protected from a young age and repeatedly warned about "what not to touch" often make choices that leave adults speechless once they are out of their parents' sight.

No, wait.

Audrey seemed to have always been interested in the occult, and he had previously indulged his daughter's interest in this area.

Aleister happened to be an extraordinary being, and they met at the young man Greylint's party...

Since Aleister said it wasn't necessary and he didn't want to reveal his identity as an extraordinary being, Earl Hall believed him.

After all, he had to meet some extraordinary individuals due to issues such as hiring bodyguards, and their attitudes were basically the same. They were also very secretive about the church, while some church extraordinary individuals he had come into contact with had subtly revealed their attitudes towards wild extraordinary individuals.

So, perhaps Audrey sensed through some signs that Aleister was an extraordinary being, and coupled with his appearance, she was attracted to him and took the initiative to help Aleister solve his problems in order to get closer to him.

Whether a man who has become a member of the House of Lords and a major banker is truly intelligent or has deduced part of the truth through subtle clues, especially given his current good fortune, is debatable.

In any case, rather than Audrey simply being captivated by his appearance and falling in love with him, Earl Hall was more inclined to believe this possibility.

It seems he wasn't strict enough before; Audrey didn't listen to him!

Count Hall could only take care of Audrey.

After all, he couldn't very well tell Aleister, "You are not allowed to touch my daughter!"

If he was able to walk in upright today, he probably won't be able to walk out upright.

If he had known earlier that the other party was an extraordinary being, he wouldn't have been so reckless, leading to his current predicament.

Earl Hall looked at An Ruowang hesitantly and tentatively asked:

"If I could solve this problem for you...?"

Even if it costs some money, it doesn't really matter.

Problems that can be solved with money are basically not problems for him.

An Ruowang reassured Earl Hall:

"Then naturally I have no need to actively contact your daughter."

Earl Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

An Ruowang's sudden change of tone made Earl Hall's heart leap into his throat again.

He stared at An Ruowang with pleading eyes, looking rather pitiful.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.

But if An Ruowang hadn't been an extraordinary person, perhaps he would have been the one to suffer.

She wouldn't dare to consider a big banker a good person just because he showed love for his daughter.

Even if he is an extraordinary person, he is simply in a situation where circumstances are stronger than him.

Once he steps out of that door, Earl Hall might immediately change his tune and head straight to St. Samuel's Church of the Night Church to try and get the church to deal with him, this wild extraordinary being.

An Ruowang shook her head inwardly, but showed no mercy aloud:

"If you don't want me to have contact with your daughter, Count, I have another way—or rather, a request."

This is also compensation for your uninvited visit and the inconvenience you've caused me today.

Earl Hall, of course, readily agreed:

"Please tell me. I'll do anything I can."

An Ruowang leaned forward slightly, staring at Earl Hall:

"I've heard that the Count and Bishop Électra of the Church of the Night have a rather good relationship?"

Earl Hall's smile froze.
