“It could also be A-level psionic energy,” Svina said. “A-level abilities exhibit extremely powerful versatility in a certain aspect. Even A-level players don’t necessarily have A-level talent. The Lolita… this guy is a tough nut to crack. If we encounter him in the future, we shouldn’t fight him lightly; it’s too dangerous.”
"But if he keeps causing trouble like this, we'll have to organize a large-scale operation to capture him sooner or later. Everyone else will be involved, and this matter will be resolved quickly. At that point, a confrontation will probably be inevitable."
The dog-eared youth sighed, "After all, the pressure from the powerful and wealthy is getting greater and greater."
"Hopefully he'll calm down a bit."
Sivina also looked somewhat worried.
After throwing away her cigarette, she said, "Let's go back first. Since no noble died this time, those people will probably shut up for now. Let's raise the bounty on the 'Lotus Raider' a bit more and deal with them easily."
"It's already an A-level player bounty," the dog-eared youth reminded him, "It can't go any higher."
"It's alright, a slight increase is fine." Svina smiled gently. "Why do you think the bounty amount is accurate to a single digit?"
The dog-eared youth was taken aback: "Could it be..."
“That’s right,” Svetlana said, her lips still slightly upturned. “We need to express an attitude, and this is an attitude.”
"..."
The young man with dog ears suddenly felt that these superiors should all be shot.
……
Outside Roman City.
Fan Xiao received a call from Sakura, the Holy Maiden's bodyguard, informing him of an upcoming visit.
Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily shut down the fortune-telling system and head towards Rice Manor.
A month has passed since this effort to accumulate good fortune began.
Lu Xining returned to Roman City 22 days ago after finishing the dungeon.
After resting for a few days, Fan Xiao bought a copy ticket for the 010 partition from the Mammon platform for Lu Xining.
Perhaps it was a matter of luck, but Lu Baizhi had already obtained a ticket for Division 010 a long time ago, so he didn't need to buy one again.
When the time comes to the "12th day" - that is, when Lu Baizhi's luck reaches its limit.
Lu Xining bid farewell to Fan Xiao with her younger sister and returned to Division 010.
I've been away from home for so long, I need to go back and visit to put my family's minds at ease.
After the two sisters left, Van Shaw departed Rice Estate and began a journey of bad luck that would accumulate good fortune.
That is, a journey of constantly encountering "man-made disasters" and constantly fighting back.
Considering his own safety, he was somewhat restrained when dealing with bad luck.
Perhaps it's because the privileged class in Division 001 has been entrenched for so long, but Fan Xiao felt that this place was rotten to the core, with so many disgusting people and things that he was starting to hate it.
Of course, he knew it was a matter of perspective.
When he's in a bad mood, he basically doesn't encounter anything good.
Despite his frustration, he still didn't fully unleash his abilities when dealing with various criminal cases.
He knew that if the people with white shoulder patches mobilized a large number of players to capture him regardless of the cost, he would soon be forced to flee.
As a large tourist city facing various districts, Roman City is bound to have its share of chaos beneath the surface.
Under normal circumstances, people with white epaulets don't receive much attention because they are busy handling various events.
But if he goes too far, then things might change.
More than an hour later, Van Shaw returned to Rice Estate after a long absence.
"Mr. Fan, the guest is in the VIP room."
The maid squad approached Fan Xiao and gave him a reminder.
Fan Xiao nodded, signaling them to leave, and then went to the VIP room alone.
He looked surprised when he opened the door.
"Are you alone, Sakura?" Fan Xiao asked. "Where is Miss Qiu?"
"..."
Sakura seemed a little conflicted about how Fan Xiao addressed her, but she held back and said, "Miss is busy investigating and dealing with the matter from last time. I'm here to inform you of some of the investigation results."
"What happened next at the Ceylon Welfare Home?" Fan Xiao asked.
"Ah."
Sakura nodded: "Those people who took the children away from the orphanage have all been confirmed to belong to Allen Roman's faction."
"Moreover, this problem is not limited to the Ceylon Welfare Home; many welfare homes have experienced similar situations."
"As for those children... they have most likely been sent away from Zone 001, but we are still investigating their specific whereabouts."
"...You came all this way just to say these few words?" Fan Xiao asked.
It's very troublesome for him to come back.
These things, could they be discussed over the phone...?
"Are you worried about being monitored?"
"Some things are better said face to face."
Sakura neither nodded nor explained, but simply said, "Miss asked me to remind you that this matter involves a wide range of people and is very likely related to the Mammon Organization... You should have heard of Mammon, right?"
“Yes, I’ve heard of it,” Fan Xiao said. “It seems to be a vicious criminal gang.”
“That’s one way to put it,” Sakura nodded. “In short, this matter is very complicated, and there are probably multiple high-level players involved. It’s extremely dangerous! You shouldn’t investigate it on your own anymore. This is for your own good.”
"Don't worry," Fan Xiao said with a smile, "I stopped investigating a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Ying looked at Fan Xiao quietly, her gaze quite imposing.
After looking at it for a few seconds, she said, "Miss also told me to tell you that if you insist on investigating, you can try your luck in Star Memory City; the clues might be there."
"They don't believe me at all..." Fan Xiao said. "Well, thank you for the information. I'll remember this favor."
"That's all the information Miss asked me to give you. Goodbye."
Sakura nodded to Fan Xiao, then disappeared into her swaying shadow.
They arrive quickly and leave quickly, giving off a very capable vibe.
"The information provided by the Holy Maiden matches Mammon's information. It seems that we have no choice but to go to Star Memory City."
Fan Xiao stared thoughtfully at the spot where Ying had disappeared.
At that moment, he suddenly felt the Key of Mammon that he was carrying vibrate.
Fan Xiao was somewhat surprised. He took out the red card and chose to answer the call.
A slightly arrogant voice rang out: "That idiot Allen said we can get to work! Brother Fan, get ready, we need to set off."
Chapter 262 The Strange Train Carriage
About five kilometers west of the St. Roman Cathedral, there stands a mansion that can only be described as magnificent.
Its name is Roman Mansion, and it is one of the assets of the Roman family.
As the fourth head of the family, Alan Roman inherited the blond hair and blue eyes of the first Lauren Roman.
He had a high nose bridge and a tall figure, and his well-fitting clothes accentuated his feminine charm.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the reception room, holding a wine glass in his hand, elegantly sipping the fragrant and mellow red wine, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
He was meeting with one of his confidants.
As the soft music played, Alan Roman began, "Stop with the unnecessary pleasantries, Reiji. I just want to hear what I really want to hear."
The man addressed as Lei Zhe nodded.
He was dressed in loose priest's robes, was burly, and had a fierce appearance. With a thick beard, he looked like a lion.
"We've already notified Mammon's men to take action."
Lei Zhe said, "This time it's quite a coincidence. The order comes from the forces in Division 004, the nemesis of Star Memory City—the Radiant Society. They plan to establish a new safe zone."
"Oh? That's quite a coincidence."
Allen chuckled, “The Radiant Society has protected too many ordinary people and is now too busy to take care of itself and dealing with the various threats from Star Memory City... After they find out the goods are lost, they probably won’t have time to cause trouble for us. It seems that this time, we have finally gotten lucky.”
“We also need to prevent Mammon from embezzling the goods,” Rezer said. “They’ve already done it twice.”
“Mammon might not have swallowed the goods,” Allen said. “I’ve done business with this group before, and they’ve always had a good reputation. I wonder what went wrong with the previous two carjackings…”
He frowned slightly: "The third time is my last chance for them. If they fail again, you can contact someone else to take over."
"This is the last chance. It concerns the reputation of doing business. Even if they are a bunch of lunatics, I suppose we should be more serious."
“Then let’s trust them one more time,” Rezer nodded. “I’ve already made contact with the powerful and influential people. As long as we confirm the time, the ‘banquet’ can begin.”
“Very good,” Allen said, “Now we just wait for Star City’s response.”
The plan is progressing as expected.
Both of them were in a good mood.
"correct."
Rei Zhe suddenly reminded him, "Lord Allen, the Holy Maiden has been investigating the orphanage recently, and she seems to already know about our taking those children away."
"Hmph, the truth will always come out. I expected this to happen."
Allen said casually, "Let her continue investigating. With the cooperation of Star Memory City, the part of the 001 District's layout can be withdrawn. As long as she doesn't continue to touch the orphanage and isn't caught red-handed, there's nothing she can do to us."
"Moreover, the royal family, conglomerates, and nobles will mostly stand on our side. Even those outside the church are all my people. What can she possibly use to fight me?"
“She might interfere with our plans,” Rezer cautioned. “I think it would be best for Lord Allen to be careful.”
"interference……"
Allen suddenly had an idea and quickly ordered, "Spread some word to this woman about the 'banquet'."
"..." Rei Zhe was silent for a few seconds, then asked seriously, "Lord Allen, are you sure?"
"Hey... even I have to admit that this woman's beauty is a rare gem. I don't know how many people have been captivated by her at first glance."
"If she dares to follow the bait and sneak in, we'll have an extra delicious dessert at the banquet."
Allen licked his lips: "Besides, using her as bait might make those wavering people completely side with us. After all, the opportunity to play with this beauty... sounds tempting!"
“Lord Allen, I admit the Saintess is very attractive,” Rezer said, “but it seems to be just her charm?”
"If you can resist the allure she unconsciously exudes, you'll know that the real her is no different from usual, just as perfect."
Allen downed his wine, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "Just wait and see, I'm looking forward to it."
……
"It's my first time robbing someone, and I'm actually kind of looking forward to it."
Standing in the bustling train station, Fan Xiao glanced at the time on the player panel and murmured with a slight sigh.
The punk siblings... or rather, the "siblings born in the same year and month" stood beside him, the three of them waiting for their respective trains to arrive.
The tickets were naturally provided by Mammon.
None of the three of them would actually go to the dungeon; they all planned to "skip class" and head straight to the 004 section after grabbing the loot.
Such behavior not only wastes a ticket, but also halves the time interval between the next dungeon run.
However, none of the three were afraid of dungeons, nor were they short of tickets, so they took it in stride and remained indifferent.
What's so exciting about a robbery?
Punk girl Wu Tongyue said, "Soon we'll be able to compete to see whose work can convey the most stunning artistry, and that's what we're most looking forward to, isn't it?"
"Well... you're right."
Fan Xiao nodded.
He knew that Wu Tongyue was referring to the act of killing and desecrating a corpse on a train, comparing whose "killing" was more entertaining.
I never imagined that this young girl would have such a twisted and perverted mind... She's beyond saving.
"but……"
