For the next few days, Suren simply stayed in the agency, waiting for Nicole to make new weapons while trying to develop new uses for magic.

In his spare time, he would also deal with Patty's harassment.

The girl said on the phone that she planned to go back to the orphanage where she grew up next week.

As someone who grew up there, she has always had a habit of supporting and helping the orphanage.

Not only that, she also sternly warned Suren that she hadn't seen a soul when she returned home for the weekend a few days ago.

This time, I must prepare the time in advance and honestly accompany her.

Suren readily agreed and immediately left a message for Morrison, asking him to keep an eye out for any lucrative commissions recently.

That very morning, Suren leaned back on the sofa, holding a small, pale purple knife in her hand.

However, the knife's shape was very unstable, and it disintegrated into the air within a few seconds.

"There's too little magic."

Suren muttered to himself.

This is one direction he tried, referencing the Phantom Sword.

The magic is channeled outside the body and directly molded into a weapon.

But now it seems he was being a bit delusional.

Maintaining a stable output of magic power is already quite challenging, let alone giving it the hardness and sharpness expected of a weapon, and ensuring it doesn't crumble when it hits an object...

He needs to figure these things out for himself.

Now Suren can make a decorative knife that only lasts a few seconds.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

Suren opened the door, and standing outside was a woman in a suit, exuding an air of decisiveness and efficiency.

"Angela Dawson".

The woman flashed her law enforcement badge, scrutinizing Suren and the firm behind him.

"I heard that your firm has a 100% completion rate for its cases."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Suren immediately recalled some plot points and tentatively asked:

"Your sister... is Isabel?"

Angela's eyes instantly turned wary: "You investigated me?"

"Actually, it was Constantine who told me."

Suren calmly passed the buck.

The fact that this woman came to him was probably related to her sister, Isabelle.

Judging from her reaction, she has probably already run into a wall with Constantine.

This means that the day Mammon plans to descend to earth is fast approaching.

"You actually know that bastard?"

Angela cursed.

"Madam, if you've come here to investigate your sister's death, then I can tell you the answer directly."

Suren leaned against the doorframe, her tone flat, "She committed suicide."

Angela's sister, Isabel, is a natural psychic with the ability to see spirits and demons.

But she was also chosen to be the vessel for the birth of Mammon, the son of Satan.

In desperation, Isabelle jumped from the roof of the mental hospital to thwart Mammon's plan.

"Bullshit!"

Angela's emotions surged instantly, and she shouted, "She's a devout Catholic, how could she possibly commit suicide?!"

In Catholic doctrine, suicide is an unforgivable grave sin.

The souls of those who commit suicide are destined to go straight to hell, and even funerals are not allowed.

Angela sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm: "So you achieve this so-called 100% completion rate by simply turning away all these troublesome matters?"

"Provocation won't work on me, ma'am."

Suren shrugged, unconcerned by the other person's mockery.

He was somewhat speechless. Why did you come looking for me instead of bothering Constantine?

To discourage this troublesome policeman, Suren casually quoted an astronomical figure:

"If you want me to take this case, fine, ten million US dollars, no credit..."

"make a deal."

Angela stared intently into his eyes and immediately agreed.

This firm was recommended to me privately by a colleague at the police station.

The reason that guy was able to catch so many thugs was largely due to this.

Moreover, as a criminal investigator, her intuition told her...

The other party not only revealed Isabel's name, but also knew scum like Constantine.

This is definitely not an ordinary firm that makes a living by cheating and swindling.

The other party's use of this outrageous number was clearly intended to discourage her.

This, in turn, proved something to her.

That means this man does know something; he has the ability to access mysterious worlds that ordinary people cannot see.

"?"

The woman's decisiveness surprised Suren somewhat.

He looked the woman in the suit up and down, and asked suspiciously, "As far as I know, you're just an ordinary policeman. Where did you get so much money?"

"Isabel and I both own properties, and now that my sister is dead, I can sell them all; that should be enough to cover the costs."

Angela's tone was firm.

Suren looked at her and fell silent.

He suddenly realized a problem he had previously overlooked.

According to the original plot, after losing Isabel as his vessel, Mammon eventually set his sights on Angela, his twin sister who also possessed psychic abilities, and conceived through Angela's body.

Unfortunately, at the last moment, Constantine turned the tables on him, summoning Mammon's father, Satan, and the entire plan fell apart.

His initial idea was to help Mammon be born, and then kill it when it was at its weakest, in order to obtain kill points and Mammon's corpse materials from the system.

But if Mammon is born safely, then the woman named Angela in front of him will be in danger.

The woman who should have survived in the original story will become a corpse because of his greed for points and interference.

Suren frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation creeping into her heart.

He can ignore inevitable death, and he can stand idly by while tragedy has nothing to do with him.

But he couldn't bring himself to kill an innocent person for his own benefit.

Suren looked at the mission rewards in her mind.

[Mission Description: Mammon, as a harbinger of darkness, attempts to cross boundaries and turn the human world into his private hunting ground.]

Mission Objective: Stop Mammon's incarnation ritual.

[Mission Rewards: 10000 points, Bloodline Awakening: 5%, Mammon's Original Sin Soul x1]

Such a generous reward is given simply for stopping Mammon's descent ritual.

If he can kill him, the reward will be even greater, and he might even be able to reach the threshold of becoming a demon.

Only then will he truly have the power to protect himself in this world.

"Even if I accepted the commission, your sister's suicide is a fact, and this money would just be wasted."

Suren looked at her and warned her, "Besides, if you insist on investigating further... you will die."

"Then I want the truth too."

Angela stared at him without flinching.

Seeing that the other party was determined to keep going until they hit a brick wall, Suren lowered his eyes and stopped trying to dissuade him.

There's no reason to turn down ten million US dollars that's offered to you.

As for the plan to hunt down Mammon, he had no intention of giving up so easily; he was determined to get those reward points.

"Okay, follow me."
