Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Darkwill felt a little pained when he saw Lin Nuo accept his "treasure", but he was more excited. He would have a chance to make it again when the herbs were gone, but if he missed this chance, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

"Since you asked this question sincerely, I will show you mercy and teach you. Listen carefully. The way to salvation lies there."

Lin Nuo coughed, picked up a piece of black paper from the table, and with lightning flashing from his fingertips, he swiped a few times on the paper and handed it to Darkwill.

Darkwill took the paper and took a look at it. From the burn marks, he could vaguely tell that it was a Sequence 9 potion formula.

"Assassin's potion? That's exactly what I want!"

Darkwill slapped his thigh excitedly. His previous judgment was indeed correct. The assassin must be much better at fighting than the spectators.

Lin Nuo ignored Darkwill's excitement. He took a small section of his hair and a little bit of his blood in front of Darkwill, and also took the owl's hair and blood.

"What are you doing?"

Darkwill didn't pay attention to the shallow wound on his arm. He watched Lin Nuo collect his and Harry's blood and hair, and suddenly he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"You have to be on guard against others, Mr. Rosen. In order to prevent you from deceiving me with a fake potion formula and to protect our precious friendship, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"But you can rest assured that I am a gentleman with a sense of contract. As long as there is no problem with the potion formula you gave me, you can pretend that nothing happened just now."

Lin Nuo put the two cursed materials into two glass test tubes in front of Darkwill and laughed.

"You! Me?"

Darkwill was so angry at Lin Nuo.

You should be on guard against others. Do I need you to teach me?

If I could beat you, I would let you know what a gentleman is!

"Okay, Mr. Rosen, you should also know that even if the extraordinary realm wants to do something to you remotely, it requires an extremely high status. As long as you don't cheat me, I won't pay such a huge price to waste on you."

Lin Nuo patted Darkwill's shoulder to comfort him.

"Thank...thank you!"

Darkwill's face flushed red, he panted and clenched his teeth as he thanked Lin Nuo.

"Well, you're welcome. I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Mandated Punisher comes to your door, he won't be as easy to deal with as me."

"Goodbye then, Mr. Rosen."

Lin Nuo burned the handkerchief that he had just used to wipe Darkwill's sweat in front of him. He turned around, took Anna's hand and left the herbal medicine shop that was about to close.

Anna was holding Lin Nuo's hand without saying a word the whole time. She walked quickly, as if she felt it was a bit awkward to stay here any longer. At the same time, she didn't dare to peek at Lin Nuo's profile as she did before, and her expression became a little more restrained.

After Darkwill and the others confirmed that Lin Nuo had completely left, he rushed to the door and closed it completely, and at the same time hung up the sign for the transfer of the store.

"This evil star is finally gone. You are afraid that I will give you a fake potion formula, and I am also afraid that you will cheat me in return!"

Although Darkwill muttered this, he actually believed in his heart that what Lin Nuo gave him was the real 'Assassin' potion formula.

He turned around with a lewd smile and walked towards the owl trapped in the cage and laughed strangely.

"Hey, Harry, I will definitely train you to be the best assassin."

Owl Harry tilted his head with a silly look, until Darkwill opened the cage, his eyes became sharp.

The cold light flashing in the pupils is the murderous light that belongs only to predators!

Chapter 34 Lanevus

As soon as Lin Nuo left with Anna, Klein took a public carriage to 18 Flood Street.

"Have they left? That's good. It saves us from having to investigate later."

Klein glanced at the rental advertisement hanging on the doorplate, shook his head, and turned away without any nostalgia.

Lin Nuo took Anna to Laneus Steel Company.

Because of the vigorous publicity of the "Tingen City Honest Man's News", Lin Nuo was no stranger to the address of this steel company.

In the carriage, twinkling lights appeared in Lin Nuo's gray eyes, and the shining stars intertwined to form a brilliant and beautiful star map.

Anna noticed Lin Nuo's abnormality. Although she was a little in awe of him because of the means he used to intimidate Darkwill before, she couldn't help but immerse herself deeply in it at this moment.

"Interesting, have you made enough money, so you plan to run away?"

"How can this be? I haven't even finished my work yet, and you want to take the blame away?"

After a moment, all the starlight in Lin Nuo's eyes disappeared, and his pupils turned pure gray again.

Lin Nuo used the information he had collected and the second divination method to roughly guess that Lanevus's pig-killing scheme was about to come to an end.

After losing his astrological crystal ball, he also found a more spiritual replacement.

The second divination method also relies very little on external objects.

"Come on, Anna, let's go visit that big industrialist in Tingen City, Mr. Lanevus!"

Lin Nuo took Anna's hand and got out of the private carriage, and they walked into a company together.

"Master, aren't you not interested in investing in a steel company?"

Anna asked in a low voice, somewhat confused.

"Well, I'm really not interested, but for your sake, it's not a problem to invest a little."

Lin Nuo's answer left Anna a little confused.

For her sake? How could a maid like her have any respect?

She didn't even have a chance to persuade someone!

"Hello, is Mr. Lanevus here? I'm here with my fiancée to discuss a big business deal with him."

Lin Nuo asked the receptionist with a smile.

"In..., do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist's eyes lit up when she took a look at Lin Nuo. The man in front of her was impeccable in appearance, temperament, and clothing. He exuded a kind of nobility that only rich people have. The only shortcoming was that he already had a fiancée.

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Anna behind Lin Nuo and made a preliminary judgment.

Although she is older than me, it’s not a big problem. You can tell from her silly look that she doesn’t seem to have any scheming intentions.

In principle, as the company's receptionist, she cannot disclose the whereabouts of the company's boss at will, but that also depends on the person. If she can seize this opportunity, who would be willing to be a receptionist all the time?

"I'm sorry, we don't have an appointment. This is our company's business card. I hope you can pass it to Mr. Lanevus and tell him that I have a business deal worth thousands of pounds that I want to discuss with him."

Lin Nuo handed the receptionist a business card with Steve Shipping Company written on it.

"Okay, please wait for a moment with this lady in the rest area."

The receptionist gave Lin Nuo a sweet smile, and she personally led Lin Nuo and Anna to the rest area exclusive to employees.

"It's a bit shabby here. I'll go inform Mr. Lanevus right away."

The lady at the reception desk took out her treasured black tea and made a cup for Lin Nuo and Anna, then lifted her skirt and quickly left the lounge area.

This was a big deal involving thousands of pounds, so she had to go and inform Mr. Lanevus in person.

"Master, what's going on?"

After the lady on stage left, Anna half leaned in Lin Nuo's arms, pretending to be intimate, and asked in a low voice.

"Anna, my dear fiancée, are you a little tired?"

Lin Nuo did not answer Anna's question directly. Instead, he put his arm around her waist and asked naturally.

"No...no, you worry too much, dear."

Anna felt the burning heat coming from her waist and her body softened. She lowered her head and said with a blushing face.

"Well, after we finish discussing business with Mr. Lanevus, shall we go home and rest?"

Lin Nuo stroked Anna's head and asked softly.

"Uh-huh."

Anna nodded, and she leaned obediently in Lin Nuo's arms and listened to his heartbeat.

After all, it was just acting, wasn't it? Could it be more difficult than making matchboxes with paste?

"Sorry for the wait, Mr. Lin Nuo, Ms. Anna. I will take you two to see Mr. Lanevus."

After a moment, the receptionist opened the door to the lounge area with a happy look on her face.

"Well, I'm done."

Lin Nuo stood up with Anna, and they followed the receptionist up to the second floor and came to the door of an independent office.

dong dong!

The receptionist knocked on the door gently, and after getting permission, she pushed the door open and walked in with Lin Nuo and the other person. Before completing her task and leaving, she gave Lin Nuo a subtle wink.

Unfortunately, Lin Nuo had no interest in these two-legged animals that could be seen everywhere on the roadside.

For Lin Nuo, having an ordinary appearance doesn't matter. If you have an experience that makes him feel novel, that's a big plus. You can consider keeping you by his side as a collection.

But if you have average looks, average talents, and average life experiences...

It would be better to stay away from this extraordinary person like him.

"Mr. Lin Nuo, Ms. Anna, hello, I am Lanevus."

The person who spoke was a Western man with a full forehead, black hair, brown eyes, round-framed glasses, and slightly upturned lips.

"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Lanevus."

Lin Nuo also politely responded to Lanevus.

The first time he saw Lanevus, he recalled a familiar name, Kabuto Yakushi.

"It's getting late, so let's make it short. Mr. Lin Nuo, I have never heard of the name Steve Shipping Company before. What kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"

Lanevus looked at Lin Nuo and spoke with some doubt.

He has now gathered nearly 10,000 pounds in funds and is almost done with the Swindler's Potion, so he is very curious why someone would come to him at this time.

Lanevus's smile was extremely friendly, and he carried a unique and extraordinary charm.

"Mr. Lanevus, I am a petty person. Please put away your 'charm' that has nowhere to go."

Lin Nuo smiled and took a step forward to stand in front of Anna. His smile was still gentle, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"If you don't want all your hard work to go to waste."

Chapter 35 Does your ambition stop here?

The curve on Lanevus's lips disappeared when he heard that. He pushed up his round-framed glasses, and the white light reflected by the mirror obscured the emotions in his eyes.

"Mr. Lin Nuo, did you misunderstand something? I am not as good-looking as you."

Lanevus seemed like an ordinary, kind man. He spread his hands towards Lin Nuo and gave a wry smile, indicating that he was just a harmless steel company boss.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two paper blades pierced through Lanevus' chest and landed on the leather chair.

Lin Nuo did not look at the disappearing phantom. His eyes lit up with starlight and he spoke calmly to the empty space near the window.

"Sit back down now. We still have something to discuss. Otherwise, you can also take a gamble and see how heavy the price will be for your reckless actions."

Lanevus revealed his figure with an unpleasant look on his face. Anna, who had been hiding behind Lin Nuo, blinked in surprise when she saw Lanevus's almost invisible operation.

"Have you thought about it, Mr. Lanevus?"

Lin Nuo took out a set of playing cards and began to shuffle them slowly.

Lanevus's expression was very ugly at this moment. He didn't know why the other party could directly see through almost all of his extraordinary abilities.

No matter how hidden his charm, eloquence or misleading his thinking was, it was easily seen through.

Even the illusion created by mental interference did not have the desired effect.

Lanevus sat back in his original position in silence. He had a pistol hidden in the secret compartment under the table. He needed to wait for an opportunity.

"You made a very wise choice, Mr. Lanevus."

Lin Nuo was very satisfied with Lanevus's reaction. He was not the kind of idiot who would cooperate only after being beaten.

"If you had just run away, you would not have been able to face death as a human being."
