Chapter 176 Audrey and Hugh are friends
The new Mr. A, Raphael, demonstrated his strength, plunging the attendees into a brief silence.
To these "low-sequence" Beyonders, Sequence 7 was already considered a very powerful Beyonder, while A...
The man killed the other person without even lifting his buttocks.
While possessing formidable strength, Mr. A's disregard for life throughout the process also instilled fear in them.
They knew very well that if Mr. A ever wanted to kill them, begging for mercy would be useless.
All they could do was make sure Mr. A didn't even think about killing them.
Alongside the fear, there was also a sense of reassurance; with such a powerful facilitator, this extraordinary gathering could last.
As Audrey marveled at Raphael's strength, Hugh stared at Mr. A for a while and realized that this might be Raphael.
In his previous battle with the "Punishment Knight," Hugh had witnessed Raphael using the "Hypnotic Ring" and was aware of the magical item's abilities.
Of course, based on this alone, Hugh couldn't be sure it was Raphael.
Then, when Mr. A was selling his extraordinary properties, the tone and look in his eyes that showed a disregard for life confirmed Hugh's suspicions.
In the previous battle, dozens of members of the Three Brothers died. Having witnessed some horrific scenes, Hugh was somewhat uncomfortable with the sight of corpses scattered all over the ground. Some members of the Mafia even squatted on the ground and dry heaved because of the strong smell of blood.
But Raphael showed no signs of discomfort whatsoever, and even squatted down to search for the corpse of the Three Brotherhood leader.
However, Hugh didn't make a fuss. Although she was also curious as to why Raphael had suddenly become Mr. A, there were so many people around, and it was clearly not the time to ask these questions.
The party ended a little over an hour later.
Audrey and the other two observed the whole time, because the items traded at this gathering were mostly of a "low-level" quality, and there were no items they needed.
Most of Backlund's extraordinary gatherings are at this level. Each time they attend, they approach it with a sense of luck, hoping to trade for auxiliary materials or magical items with decent abilities. As for main materials, they don't even dare to dream of them.
Currently, Audrey and Fors are both Sequence 5, and Hugh is also Sequence 6. They need Sequence 5 and Sequence 4.
The main material of that level is simply impossible to appear at a gathering of that level.
Fortunately, they were not lacking in the main materials for promotion. Fors had her teacher help prepare the ceremony and provide supplementary materials.
Although Audrey has lost contact with the "Psychological Alchemy Society," the "World" has the characteristic of "Manipulators," which can be obtained by accumulating enough merits.
Hugh's promotion was a trait she acquired in her previous battle with Raphael, and she still hasn't repaid the 3000 pounds she owes him.
Just as the three were about to leave, Raphael had a waiter call them back and invited them to a small reception room at the back of the living room.
The four people sat down across a table, with Raphael on one side and Audrey and two others on the other.
Audrey noticed that there was no one else there and no one was watching her, but she still pretended not to know Mr. A.
Raphael called them over to invite them to a more upscale party, which was standard procedure, and he didn't intend to make any contact with them.
After considering it, Audrey and the other two agreed to accept the invitation and participate in the party.
Raphael told them to come back in three days, and he took them to a party.
Similarly, this is also the workflow. The first time they attend a party, they must be accompanied by Raphael, the introducer. Only after the "Mysterious Saint" who hosts the high-level party agrees can they be told how to obtain the time and place of the party.
After the business was settled, Audrey got up to take her leave.
Just as the three ladies were heading towards the door, Raphael suddenly said out of the blue, "I didn't expect you all to know each other."
Audrey and Hugh both gave a wry smile. When Audrey first came into contact with the Extraordinary, it was the three of them who came to this Extraordinary gathering together.
Although Audrey only came occasionally after that, whenever she was sure she was going to attend a party, they always made it a habit to go together.
Audrey and Hugh had just realized this; the two people who had contacted Raphael knew each other and were in contact with him, often discussing their common informant, Raphael. But changing seats at that point wouldn't make much difference.
Raphael invited them in to confirm whether they really knew each other.
Just as Audrey had analyzed earlier, this was Raphael's most troublesome aspect; he appeared cold and aloof...
Crazy, but actually very sensitive.
Raphael didn't say anything more. Audrey and Hugh gave a wry smile and then left without lingering.
Fors remained silent throughout, acting as a dutiful spectator. At this point, she also realized that this Mr. A knew both Audrey and Hugh.
On the carriage ride back, they inevitably discussed Raphael, and at the same time hoped to ask Mr. "The World" at the Tarot Club if he had any new information about Raphael.
On the other side, Raphael watched the three ladies leave, then took another look around the meeting room before concluding his work for the day.
Back at the villa, Raphael locked himself in his study again and prayed to "The Fool" once more, asking "The Fool" to contact Dawn Dantes.
This time, the "Fool" finally responded, and Raphael briefly reported his experiences over the past few days to Dawn.
There are three main things to say. First, he unintentionally lost the king. Second, the Aurora Society's operation failed to find the Level 0 sealed artifact, and both the royal family and the Aurora Society were deceived. Third, he is now Mr. A.
Upon hearing Raphael's description, Klein, who was in the gray fog, realized that Raphael was responsible for the sudden collapse of the king's mausoleum.
As for the Level 0 sealed artifact, Klein really didn't care much. Whether Aurora got it or not, it didn't concern him much.
Finally, after learning that Raphael had become Mr. A, Klein suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. He seriously doubted whether Raphael would become the president of the Aurora Society if they waited another two years.
Backland West.
After completing his report, Raphael began considering how to continue digesting the potion.
After this incident, promotion has become the most important thing now.
After transforming Bradel, the youngest son of the "Giant King," into a zombie, Raphael felt that his potion had been digested a little more.
There was nothing we could do; the level of this corpse was simply too high.
-
However, you can't encounter this kind of corpse every day, so you have to take the initiative to play the role.
After dinner, Raphael changed into his pajamas and lay in bed, still pondering his role.
Just then, Raphael noticed that something seemed to have changed in the "Dark Lodge".
He was stunned for a moment, and his spirit immediately appeared in the "Dark Hut".
As soon as he entered, Raphael felt the power of the entire "Dark Lodge" surge around him like a torrent, with volcanoes erupting in the valley, lava flowing and scorching hot lava churning at the bottom of the valley.
However, the "source of the curse" did not react at all.
Raphael frowned, wondering what was wrong with "Dark Lodge".
On the wooden corridor over there, the second owner of the Dark Lodge said, "Someone is performing a ritual at the Dark Lodge Secret Realm."
