The cafe was opened as usual time, since it was a little early Shen Yi started to prepare the coffee ingredients and materials and arranged neatly in a row, while waiting for a customer to come. An elegant and slow music was playing on the background making the atmosphere calm.

With a warm and inviting atmosphere filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and soft background music, any person would inevitably find them relaxing in no time, never could imagine it was the hideout place of “Mastermind.”

The drizzle outside had stopped, and the new day begin with warm sunshine.

Shen Yi arranging everything up started to brew a cup of black coffee for him, just then he heard the back door opening sound and raised his head and met Su Ling.

He nodded his head in greeting before asking: “How are you feeling now? Do you feel a headache?”

Normally, the drunkard would feel a splitting headache the next day, but it was only for a normal person, not Su Ling, she was long differed from normal and had extraordinary physic.

“I’m fine.”

Su Ling increasingly felt Shen Yi before her was more approachable than she thought, and silently muttered to her.

This mysterious existence actually enlightened me and also given his bed to me to stay for one night.

We’re considered as friends, right?

At the same time, Su Ling mused over what position she held in the eye of Shen Yi.

Shen Yi nodded in response and after taking one more glance at her he continued, “It seems, you have made the final decision.”

Upon a glance Shen Yi was sure of her decision, because Su Ling looked calm and determined unlike tangled up of mess like last night. 

“Yes.” 

“Then go and be careful not to expose yourself to danger. I will lend you a thing which will be helpful to you.”

As soon as the words fell out, Shen Yi suddenly felt a little strange, and felt he was really addicted to playing the role of the mastermind behind the scenes.

 Now he actually seriously abetting and encouraging Su Ling to kill a councilor, an earl, and a real upper class figure.

It seems I became on in the identity and no longer ceasing to play, but become a real mastermind behind the scenes.

As he gave careful thought, the forces he now held were indeed quite a lot, and the power he possessed was getting stronger and stronger.

And, after confirming the truth of “Divine Transformation”, he could continue to strengthen his power and strength in a virtuous cycle in the future, and the future may really be limitless.

“Um.”

Initially, Su Ling didn’t think of relaying his strength to seek revenge, now hearing him said leading the thing she felt with his help the thing will go smooth so she nodded seriously in response and accepted the mysterious relic handed over by Shen Yi, and was astonished.

She just thought that he will leaned a disaster level blade or something, but never imagined he would leaned this thing.

With a determination she nodded her head and said, “I’m going.”

——

The Earl of Bute was really live up to his name, his villa was located in the West Beland.

A prosperous upscale place with obvious respectability.

Currently, the Earl Bute was in his study on the third floor, leaning against comfortably on a chair, he held a cigar in one hand and red wine in other hand, seemingly enjoying his content.

From the pile of ashes and cigar butt next to him show he had smoked a lot with no regard of his health. After successfully retrieving the lifespan he longer restrained himself and even felt if he doesn’t enjoy his content it will only be wasteful and even felt if something happen, he could still snatch a lot of lifespan.

After the last night lesson, he not only rectified his mistake to turn into a new leaf, but come to the conclusion of doing the next ritual outside the Beland. 

Earl Bute’s eyes were not as muddy as last night but rather sharp and sinister, and he snorted.

The city was a “monster house” in a sense.

This time, the life span of the old guy was taken away. On the one hand, it was a bit difficult to find a qualified person with the same birthday, and on the other hand, he was already seriously ill.

He never expected that an old loser selling sugar, a marginalized person living in a slum, would actually have contact with a senior investigator!

In the end, the other party really wants to punish himself regardless of this matter!

The probability of that was too small, still thinking of the investigators, he became furious.

“Assholes, they’re all a bunch of assholes!”

In fact, the Earl But anger was not only towards Su Ling but also towards Investigator Benny.

The male secretary wearing glasses stood aside, not daring to move a muscle.

Earl Bute snorted coldly: “That guy named Benny came to me and asked me for a deposit of one million, saying he could try to persuade the crazy woman to stop her actions.”

“In the end, it didn’t work out, so he told me that this lunatic named Su Ling had a paranoid mental disorder and was very difficult to persuade.”

“He also said that he would think of another way, in fact, he didn’t want to return the money, and kept dragging it out.”

They actually lied to me, what a bunch of damn investigators!

The more Bute thought about it, the angrier he grew.

The male secretary couldn’t help but say: “No matter how powerful she is, she is just a person, and also a government employee. Is it really necessary to pay so much attention to her?”

“You don’t know anything.” Earl Bute shook his head and sighed.

“That’s just a nominal identity in the world. You don’t know the Anti-Magic Bureau and our government only have a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate relationship.”

The secretary was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: “Cooperation?”

Earl Bute eyes narrowed slightly, “Let me ask you, how long has Nolan’s current dynasty been?”

“Hundreds of years.”

Earl Bute sighed and went on: “The predecessor of the Anti-Magic Bureau existed as early as two thousand years ago. At that time, they were one of the human guardians of the entire Second Continent.”

“In today’s era, the church, the royal family, and the Anti-Magic Bureau are still the three pillars in Nolan’s world.”

The male secretary was dumbfounded, his perceptions were somewhat shocked, completely not expecting that this special department of the Anti-Magic Bureau would be so powerful and more terrifying than imagined.

He then asked: “Since they are so powerful, why don’t they try to hold more power?”

Earl Bute asked in return, “Why does that person named Su Ling have to kill me?”

Under his question the secretary fell into deep thought, after a long time he slowly uttered a word. “Idealist.”
