Chapter 58: Chapter 41 Rich Spoils of War

Translator: 549690339

Leonard Churchill chose to return to the Silver Star Mysterious Material Shop and exchange the golden breathing method book he had. Even though it was a last- minute decision, it was still the best choice carefully made after thorough consideration.

After he had killed the diviner and obtained some spoils, he suddenly had in his possession the breathing method book he previously couldn’t afford.

Besides, there would never be a better opportunity than now.

With all the commotion, his identity had already been exposed.

It would not be long before the whole black market in Dark Rain Street knew he was the person associated with the disappearance of Abnormal Creature Shelter 407.

Anyone would understand what it meant when a high-yield alternate dimension disappeared.

If he were to come back to buy that incomplete golden breathing method book again, the shopkeeper would surely figure out it was him.

Holding such a treasure, even if Saul Miller didn’t actually say what it was, it would inevitably give people ideas.

While his alias “Seven Brown” still held some sway, Leonard planned to solve the problem once and for all.

As he had anticipated, the shopkeeper had exceptional courage.

And mostly because the shopkeeper probably suspected that he had some sort of relationship with “Seven Brown,” the trade to exchange the spoils for the breathing method went smoothly without any roundabout dealings.

As for any unforeseen circumstances?

Leonard had thought about them, too.

However, he tended to trust his instincts and judgment more.

This kind of fiery, intense self-confidence was above all subjective consciousness.

It made him fearless!

Not daring to linger, Leonard swiftly disappeared into the dark with the breathing method.

The current Dark Rain Street was in chaos.

The Blackwater Mercenary Group had heard that the target they had been searching for had appeared in the black market, and people from several nearby neighborhoods had quickly reinforced their forces.

Not only mercenaries, but various secretly-placed people under the control of the Governor’s Miller Family in the Lower City had also grown active.

Such significant movement naturally couldn’t be concealed from the well-informed information merchants.

Various powers in the city dispatched people to investigate since they didn’t understand why there was large-scale movement in the Black Market.

In a short while, undercurrents surged in Sinless City; groups of armed personnel began to gather in the alleyways as motor vehicles roared in the street.

The various forces, seeing the situation, believed that some significant upheaval was about to occur.

More and more forces began to gather.

Almost no one fully understood what was going on, but they all began to gather.

Because everyone was gathering their forces.

But when the old woman was shot dead in the street, everyone reacted. The card master apprentice was not only not caught, but he had actually become more reckless and returned to kill any potential whistleblowers!

The Blackwater Mercenary Group and the undercover agents of the Miller Family started to search frantically everywhere.

By now, everyone realized that the situation was only getting worse, not better.

But the identity of the Governor from the Miller Family didn’t have much deterrent effect in the Lower City. Their large movements not only didn’t bring any help but faced obstruction everywhere.

Most people still didn’t understand what was going on, but everyone in Sinless City uniformly rejected outsiders: anything the Governor wanted to do, they wanted to prevent.

The more urgent he appeared, the more they wanted to obstruct him.

For a moment, the whole of Sinless City was astir.

Although Leonard is not very familiar with this world, he knows all too well that the Curse Card Masters proficient in divination are extremely rare.

And the cost of using divination is enormous.

Just like the old woman Leonard had seen before, her old appearance was unusual.

Leonard did not think that the Governor, the Miller family, had many such talents.

Killing one means one less.

That’s the primary reason why he wanted to silence her, even if it meant taking a risk.

Besides, finding relics that have divination properties may not be easy in the future.

Leonard discovered a treasure among the spoils of war.

Relic-Golden Divination Poker

Detailed Explanation: Level II Mysterious Type relic that consumes life span to perform divination for a range of targets. Users need to master prophecy-related skills. The more vague the clue is, the greater the backlash.

Seeing the poker cards that sparkled like gold, Leonard immediately realized that this was the treasure that the old woman used to divine his position.

It’s called ancient relics because such things can hardly be replicated in modern times.

Everything known as relics comes from ancient ruins and the Alternate Dimension.

“Level II relics” of the Mysterious Type are extremely rare.

They were sought-after treasures.

Even the Miller family being as large and well-off as they are, not many exist.

These are hard to come by treasures that money can’t buy in the market.

And of course, the next big surprise is the glossy black ring in Leonard’s hand at this moment.

It was the legendary Space Storage Ring.

Unlike the Containment Card, the storage ring is like a pocket of sub-space and can hold all kinds of bits and pieces. The Containment Card is a spatial ability that’s like dimension reduction, which is not well-understood at present and is highly limited.

Leonard had heard the hunters brag about this magical space ring that can hold items.

The Storage Ring is a standard item for nobles and Card Masters. A ring with only the size of a fist can sell for over a hundred thousand. The one he had at this moment was certainly more valuable.

As soon as he concentrated his consciousness, it was like reaching into a hidden pocket, occupying about 1/3 of a cubic meter.

Holding this ring, he could now carry all kinds of equipment more covertly and conveniently.

Apart from the previous recovery potions and the golden card relic, the ring also contained stacks of green banknotes worth tens of thousands, some gold and silver coins, scrolls, first-aid potions, etc.

But most of them were exchanged for that book on the Breathing Method.

Leonard didn’t bother to calculate if it was worth three million, he didn’t feel at a loss.

Those things were like hot potatoes; it’s better to sell them sooner rather than later.

All in all, the trip to the black market yielded immense gains.

Not only did he find a suitable breathing method, resolve a significant hidden danger, but he also struck gold.

In no time, the “whoop whoop whoop” steam engine rolled into the platform.

Leonard gathered his thoughts, and squeezed himself onto the train with the crowd.

Over an hour later, Leonard returned with a strong smell of alcohol to No. 117 East City Street, the Corpse Collector’s dormitory.

Today was their day off in Team Five and Dexter, along with the other two senior team members, had gone to Downing Street and not returned yet.

Not only did Corpse Collectors get a high salary, living conditions were pretty decent as well. Since there were only a few of them and the building was large, each person had their single dormitory room.

But Leonard noticed something unusual as soon as he didn’t go upstairs.

A stranger had come to the dormitory..
