Devil's Bible

However, whether or not one can seize the opportunity depends on their individual abilities.

If you have the ability, then opportunity becomes a stepping stone, allowing you to advance further.

However, if one lacks personal ability, it's like trying to imitate someone poorly – one's chances are crushed.

Isabella was destined to be his opportunity, a fact that Nemus had determined through historical events, revelations, and a sense of destiny.

With this understanding, Nems naturally stopped being in a hurry.

He gradually developed his own strength and influence, taking steady steps, and eventually he was able to seize the opportunity.

Nems had this confidence.

Then Nemus's consciousness sank, and he began to observe the work of his subordinates with the help of the Oath Rope.

Poole's side was the first to make a move.

Poole didn't do it himself; if he did now, it would cause quite a stir.

So he chose to guide them.

The one who actually took action was a girl who seemed a little uneasy.

It was Lydia.

For the past six months, Leah has spent most of her time with Angel A, and a small portion of her time with her father, the village guardian, working with Poole and Becky to develop the whale disease.

The biggest achievement in the past six months has been confirming one thing—Lia did not fail as a whale, but succeeded.

As Leah's condition gradually stabilized, her previously unclear situation became increasingly clear.

Most importantly, she has already become a steel species.

That's right. Leah had basically no training. She didn't practice breathing techniques or meditation. After adapting to the changes in herself, she became a Steel Seed without really knowing it.

In terms of stats, characteristics, and life essence, it is definitely of the steel type level.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that Leah did not fail, but successfully transformed into a whale. It's just that the whale she transformed into is more human-like and closer to a gentle floating whale.

Rather than the kind of 'killer whale' that eats people at will and causes riots among floating whales.

Of course, this does not mean that Leah is 'peaceful'.

Conversely, if Leah is not with Angel A for a long time, she will become increasingly 'uneasy', and this unease will intensify her restlessness, causing her to transform into a killer whale.

"Go check if there's any scent of whale oil, then come back."

"Once you come back, you won't have anything to do anymore. You can spend a lot of time with your angel brother A," the village guard comforted him through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing her father's words, Leah nodded seriously, and her entire aura instantly blended into the natural environment.

Compared to Poole and the village guards, who are modified by whale-like diseases, Leah may not necessarily have an advantage in strength, but she has her own special power.

For example, the affection from a floating whale.

Chapter 183 White Trade Association

For example, as long as Leah releases her aura, the surrounding environment will protect her.

At least as long as Leah is attentive, others generally cannot detect her presence through their senses.

Unless Leah goes into a berserk state because she has been away from Angel A for too long.

At the same time, Leah is also very sensitive to the scent of whale products. She can sense any whale product that is within a certain range of her.

This is why Poole decided to let Lydia act alone this time.

The White Merchant Guild wasn't very large, and since they weren't nobles, they couldn't live in manors, so they opted for a 'pseudo-manor'.

In other words, it involves taking a manor as the center, buying all the surrounding manors and houses, and then carrying out certain planning to create a manor that is not a manor at all.

Fences cannot be erected around the area, but police posts can be set up, etc.

In a way, the church district is also a kind of pseudo-manor.

The White Chamber of Commerce mainly deals in agricultural products.

That's right, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce grows vegetables.

However, the entire Baiwei Town is monopolized by this chamber of commerce, which grows most of the vegetables, fruits, and beans.

Besides owning a considerable amount of farmland along both sides of the Weizhong River, they also have a significant amount of land in the suburbs.

They even supply the church restaurant.

The Chamber of Commerce maintains a low profile in the North District, and regularly receives special offerings from churches.

Even Nems has received gifts from them.

This chamber of commerce has attracted many clergy members, among whom three older Iron Seed priests particularly enjoy dining at the high-end hotels owned by the White Chamber of Commerce.

This can basically be considered as supporting the Bait Chamber of Commerce.

Under these circumstances, the White Chamber of Commerce itself still possesses a not-too-weak armed force.

The chairman's son, Xiaobai Te, was promoted to a steel species a few years ago.

He also had some thugs from the chamber of commerce under his command.

These thugs are mostly Black Stone types with certain stats.

He's not exactly a master, but he can easily deal with ordinary people and gangsters.

Therefore, unlike its low-key approach in the North District, the Bait Chamber of Commerce is exceptionally 'fierce' in the South District.

They control most of the crop seeds. Apart from themselves, other farmers who want to grow vegetables need to buy seeds and corresponding fertilizers from them.

Furthermore, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce has absolute priority in purchasing the vegetables grown by farmers.

This right to purchase is higher than what the farmers themselves possess.

Even if farmers grow their own vegetables and eat them themselves, it's not allowed.

There have been cases where people have been beaten to death by thugs from the White Chamber of Commerce because of such incidents.

Farmers, under the White Trade Association, were not necessarily even as well-off as slaves.

The reason for such domineering behavior is, of course, to maintain the price of fruits and vegetables.

If even humble farmers can have access to fresh fruits and vegetables anytime, how can the price of these products be increased?

Such behavior is naturally hated, but there are instances where farmers have managed to turn their lives around.

There were times when other businessmen were envious of the fruit and vegetable business.

However, over the years, the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce has maintained a firm grip on the fruit and vegetable market.

If we can't win in the direct market, then some off-the-ground tactics are also useless.

For example, not long ago, a farmer was driven to the brink of despair by the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, the rival of the Bai Te Chamber of Commerce quietly sent the farmer to the fictitious agreement.

The farmer voluntarily accepted the dual reform.

He planted the rampaging components and sealed the demonic power within his body.

Such a dual transformation, with its fabricated agreements, is not recommended.

Because the Berserk Accessories are also made of demonic power, if there is demonic power in the body, although one will gain stronger power in a short period of time, even the more stable Berserk Accessory Type II will become Type I, causing the modified person's mind to become extremely turbulent.

As the two forces continue to be used, the barriers between them are broken, and in most cases, they will go berserk and transform into demon-like beings who have lost their sense of self.

However, after hearing that he could gain more power as a result, the farmer made up his mind.

After adapting, they rushed into the park.

He didn't think he could defeat that so-called Iron Seed; he just wanted to kill more members of the White Special Merchant Guild.

However, he died soon after storming the White House that night, without causing much damage.

It's as if a string suddenly snapped, and the person died instantly. From killing in anger to becoming a corpse, it didn't take more than a breath.

Nemes's observation through the rope of oath is not omnipotent and also requires a certain degree of assistance from the perception of the oath-bearer.

Unless Nemes is completely brought upon him.

Therefore, even Nems did not discover how the man suddenly died after killing several guards at that time.

This time, let Nemes take a good look at what the White Special Merchant Guild is hiding.

Leah's infiltration went very smoothly.

The sentry posts surrounding this fake manor were mostly made of black stone, making it impossible for them to detect Leah, who was completely integrated with the whale's aura.

They quickly passed the outer residences and approached the central mansion.

Even at night, the mansion was brightly lit.

Numerous guards stood around the mansion, and many large dogs were kept there.

According to Nems's observations, some of these large dogs are even dangerous creatures.

However, these protections could only protect against gangsters. Leah had almost completely blended into the environment, and those dangerous creatures were completely unaware of the problem.

"Hmm? Lord Nai, there's a whale. Stop it, don't let it." Lia transmitted a few words through the communication. Although her vocabulary had increased over the past six months, she still found it difficult to utter a complete sentence.

Nemus understood what Lia meant. She sensed the whale products, but because of the obstruction of magic circles or special materials, she couldn't determine whether there was whale oil in them.

"Let's go inside the mansion." Nemus didn't think too much and let Lydia enter the mansion directly.

Leah nodded, placed her hand on the windowsill, and prepared to enter the mansion through the open window.

However, it was precisely the instant her hand touched it that...

"Who?" With a cry of surprise, a 'sword light' emerged from the sky and slashed down. However, just as the sword light touched Leah, a black flash appeared on her body, completely blocking the sword light.

"Back up!" Nems immediately gave the order.

Leah nodded, then quickly turned and ran away.

Then, a young-looking man in pajamas jumped from the second floor of the mansion.

A pair of golden eyes scanned the surrounding traces, searching for the intruder.

Soon, he seemed to have caught some clue and chased after Leah in the direction she had retreated.

Chapter 184 Spatial Characteristics

If nothing unexpected happens, the golden-eyed man in front of us is none other than Bai Te, the chairman's son.

“This person is definitely not a simple genius.” Seeing the other party’s performance, Nemus now understood how the farmer had died and also gained a corresponding understanding of the other party.

Is it possible for a minor power to cultivate to the extreme of the Iron Seed level and then have the potential to break through to the Gold Seed level?

It may be small, but it exists!

Some geniuses are born of blood, while others are miracles born of the natural workings of life.

With such a large population, it's perfectly normal for geniuses to emerge.

Given the right opportunity, they are fully capable of growing.

Even in folk tales, there are stories of slaves becoming legendary heroes.

However, the growth of such geniuses has a very clear characteristic: before entering the Golden Seed stage, these geniuses generally do not possess any particularly outstanding 'characteristics'.

They are usually known for their rapid stat increases and strong skills.

Because of their characteristics, they are generally formed by the aggregation of special things.

For example, special bloodlines, unique and advanced powers, and cultivation methods that have a strong connection with other beings.

The white guy right now is clearly an individual on the life side, but he can make sword energy jump through space to attack!

Nems could see clearly that the sword energy appeared by jumping through space.

How could a life-type Steel Being possibly allow its attacks to reach into space unless it possesses extremely unique characteristics?!

That's why Nemus knew that without a strong fighting spirit, Lydia wouldn't be able to fight White.

Fortunately, Lydia's speed wasn't slow either. Thanks to her ability to blend in with the whale's aura, she was never caught up by White.

While White's perception was decent, he could shake off White once he was out of range.
