Ten minutes later, Adele walked out of the guest room and looked at Charles who was standing in the corridor thinking. She said, "Charles, I've finished the inspection."

"What's going on?"

Ciel inquired.

This time everyone happened to be there and there was still some time, so Charles planned to ask Adele to help him look at the burns on his sister's face.

Because of the scars on her face and arms, my sister has suffered countless verbal abuses.

Even if you don't have spirituality and cannot become a transcendent being, it's fine if you can be an ordinary person without any disabilities and live a rich life for the rest of your life.

“Without spirituality, one cannot become extraordinary.”

Adele shook her head and then said, "But the burns on her face and hands are most likely caused by extraordinary potions—at least extraordinary materials. I detected an abnormal reaction on her skin."

"In this case, can it be restored to its original state?"

Ciel demanded.

"It's difficult...at least the Pharmacy School has never had such a precedent. There are drug residues on the face, and over the years, they have penetrated deep into the skin and muscles. The Healing School cannot cure it completely."

After a moment's hesitation, Adele said, "But... Professor Ashford's school of transformation might have a way... But transformation comes at a price, and for ordinary people, the price might be unaffordable."

Ciel had witnessed the transformation methods of the "newborn" Ashford. In the simulated basement of Deton Manor, she watched with her own eyes as Ashford dragged Lucy back from the brink of death.

——The price was that Lucy's head was almost completely transformed, and she looked like a monster. Even after it recovered, the degree of erosion by the potion was aggravated a lot, causing irreversible mutations in Lucy's eyes.

Moreover, if that transformation was not a simulation but a display, with that level of potion erosion, even if one managed to survive, one would probably spend the rest of his life suffering from endless mumbling and being unable to advance to level 4.

For extraordinary people, the cost of transformation is almost equivalent to turning an immediate death sentence into a chronic death. Although it delays the process of death, it will also make people live a life worse than death.

"Is there no other way?"

Ciel spoke, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she asked, "Is there a way through the 'coroner' route?"

"'Coroner'?"

Adele was not unfamiliar with this approach, as there were a few "coroners" within the Redemption Society.

"But... they are only interested in the corpse..."

Adele thought for a moment and said, "But if it's just a change of skin, the Transformation School can certainly do it. But you'll have to use potions and injections for the rest of your life to suppress the residual drug that's eroding your muscles and bones."

"If we could find out what potion caused it, would there be a chance of curing it?"

Ciel suddenly asked.

"If I could find out what the potion is, there should be a chance."

Adele nodded and confirmed, "As for the facial repair... I still recommend you consult Professor Ashford. It seems that 'Newborns' need these kinds of treatments."

"Okay, thank you, Adele."

Ciel exhaled and nodded to Adele.

If there is a suitable opportunity in the subsequent simulation, Ciel would not mind spending hundreds or even tens of thousands of Destiny Points to go to the "past" to find the culprit and the original potion. However, the premise of all this is that Ciel must work hard to save more Destiny Points.

"Charles."

Just as Charles was about to open the door and go into the room to see Lizzie, Adele stopped him. She lowered her head to look at the tip of her shoe and whispered, "Sorry, Charles, I'm causing you trouble..."

"Next time, no matter if there are any new discoveries or other things, I will tell you first. I swear."

"It's okay, it's just a small matter,"

Ciel smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with Professor Ashford's attitude. We just need to... calm the other three 'doctors' down and stop them from talking nonsense."

Things have already happened. Charles will not blame Adele, who knows nothing about the actual situation of the North Ansu Famine and the Joy Club. Solving the problem is the key.

And Adele also promised herself that next time no matter what happens, she will tell her first, so there is no need to worry about these things anymore. This will not help either Charles or the whole thing.

Now the entire Chaos Squadron is under his control, and this news may not necessarily reach the Joy Club... as long as he can cleanly deal with it.

Just to make sure nothing happens to Ashford.

After comforting Adele, Charles opened the door and walked into the room, looking at his sister lying on the bed with a smile.

Seeing Charles coming in, Lizzie breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What was the doctor examining just now, little Charles..."

"I just asked her to help check if there are any hidden illnesses in the body."

Ciel smiled and helped his sister sit up, saying, "She's a very good doctor."

"Then I have to thank them..."

"It's okay, I already thanked you."

Charles did not mention the face-changing issue. He would not make a promise easily until he was sure that the problem could be completely solved.

After chatting with my sister for a few words, there was a knock on the door.

After receiving Charles's consent, the door opened and a maid walked in slowly. She stood beside Charles and said, "Miss Charles, there is a guest looking for you. She calls herself Sylva."

Lucy?

Although I said I would notify her when I went to Ansu City, I hadn't even notified her yet. How come she's here? So soon?

After instructing the maid to take good care of Lizzie, Charles got up and went out, heading downstairs.

What Charles didn't expect was that just as she let Lucie walk into the living room and before they started chatting, she saw through the glass window another carriage driving into the manor and stopping at the fountain.

Who is it this time?

"Wait a moment, it seems a guest is coming."

Ciel raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, asking Lucy to wait a moment before speaking. After waiting for a while, the butler knocked on the door.

"Miss Charles, there's a doctor who calls himself Ashford. He wants to see Miss Adele. Look..."

The butler bowed slightly and spoke.

Ashford?

Why was he looking for Adele? And why did he even come here? Did he know Adele was leaving tomorrow? And yet he hadn't done anything big...

After a brief hesitation, Ciel looked at Lucy in front of him and asked, "Did you land on heads or tails today?"

Lucy heard Ciel's question and smiled, "It's positive, Miss Ciel."

Charles nodded slightly, then looked at the butler and said:

"Bring him here."

PS:

192 (overdue) + 2 (leave) = 194 (overdue)

Sorry, I haven’t recovered from taking a day off yet. I will definitely run more than 8K tomorrow!

This week will be crazy exciting! Trust me!

As for the prize drawing, I plan to wait until Saturday. I guess there will be more people drawing live by then, and it will be more transparent. The specific time will be decided in two days.

good night!

Chapter 182: The traitor in the Redemption Society.

Now, Charles has an official identity in the extraordinary world - senior consultant of Deton Group - so he doesn't have to worry too much about meeting extraordinary people.

This identity can provide cover for many of her secrets, and Lucy is right beside her at the moment, so she can have a chat with the level 3 "newcomer" Ashford.

After all, even if they didn't talk about it now, Charles would still have to find him later to solve her sister's disfigurement problem. After all, she didn't know any other "newborns".

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

After waiting for a while, the door of the reception room was opened and the butler came in with Professor Ashford.

When Ashford came in and saw Charles and Lucy, he was obviously surprised - he thought it was Avina who wanted to see him.

After the housekeeper left the room and closed the door, Ashford slowly spoke: "I'm sorry to visit you at this time. I'm Ashford... Miss Sylva, who is this...?"

He looked at Lucy and asked.

Although the girl sitting opposite Lucy had an extraordinary temperament, it was obvious that she was an ordinary person - because there was no trace of potion invasion on her flesh and blood.

This is impossible for extraordinary people.

So, Ashford naturally assumed Lucy was the one who proposed this meeting.

"This is Charles, our group's senior consultant and a close friend of Miss Avina."

Lucy bowed slightly in Ciel's direction and said, "This lady wanted to see you, sir. I just happened to be there."

"Oh?"

Professor Ashford stroked his white beard, as if a little surprised by his mistake. He looked at the red-haired girl again and said, "Hello, Sir Ciel, I am here to look for Adele."

Charles smiled faintly, pointed to the sofa beside him and said, "I know, please sit down."

"Ms. Charles, I have something to say."

After Professor Ashford sat down, he knew that the other party was aware of his intentions, so he spoke directly:

"Adele is holding an extremely important research material. I need to get her safely to the Redemption Society in Anzu City. This is the purpose of my visit. I wonder if Miss Avina is here?"

After all, this is Avina's territory. If he wants to take people away, he must ask Avina's opinion.

"What kind of information is this? Isn't it safe enough to stay here?"

Ciel asked calmly, a small smile still on his face.

Now, Charles was almost certain that Ashford in front of him didn't know that they were leaving tomorrow, so it was naturally impossible for Charles to reveal it on his own initiative.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Charles. This is the internal information of the Redemption Society, and it is also an internal matter of the Redemption Society. Please forgive me for concealing this."

Ashford seemed to have sensed something of Charles's intention and frowned.

"No, no, no, this is not an internal matter of the Redemption Society. Adele has been kicked out of the Redemption Society. She is now an independent individual."

Charles shook his head and said, "Then, she sold the things to the Deton Group as an independent individual."

"Now, this thing is the group's asset, and the group has the right to decide how to dispose of it."

The old man brought up the Redemption Society, and Charles directly brought up the Deton Group to confront him.

"You can also buy it back, but the price is a bit high. Of course, after we hand it over to the group, the price may fluctuate slightly."

Although Lucy on the side didn't understand what Ciel was talking about, she spoke up at the right time and joined in directly.

Anyway, she didn't mention the price. As long as she offered a price that was unaffordable, the other party would naturally give up.

After Ciel finished speaking, he began to wait for Professor Ashford's reaction, but the anger he imagined did not appear. Instead, Ashford's frown relaxed.

"Will it go up at the auction in Deton?"

Ashford asked.

"uncertain."

Lucy responded.

"We are prepared to discuss this matter."

"The things have been handed over to you, so you will abide by the rules, right?"

Ashford looked at Lucy and said, "Keep the owner's information confidential."

"Of course, we keep the seller anonymous. We always do that."

Lucy laughed.

Ashford knew he wouldn't be able to see Adele today, so he looked at Charles and said, "Could you please tell Adele a message for me, Sir Charles?"

"can."

Charles nodded slightly.

"I'm going back to Ansu City tomorrow. Please tell her that I will definitely hand over the leaves, but I won't sign her name."

Ashford paused for a second and continued:

"If she's still willing to be my student, let her come to Anzu City to find me. If she's still not willing, I'll exchange the reward for the thesis for ingredients for the 'Newborn' potion and give it to High Priestess Julis. If she's short of promotion materials, she can ask him for them."

Professor Ashford stood up and took off his brown bowler hat, holding it in front of him and bowing slightly to Charles. Then he put the hat back on and said, "Thank you very much, sorry to bother you."
