"Thank you, Sister ng," Lu Shuai said with a smile, confidently stepping into the Shadow Owl Base.
Tang Chendan was reviewing the latest files on the Little Stripper case. The situations of several new victims were peculiar, and there weren’t enough people at the Shadow Owl, so everyone was working overti to investigate. Today, she was heading to the Northern Fourth District.
Lu Shuai stood at the door quietly appreciating, the black Night Patrol uniform not only did not disguise the watery gentleness of a Beijing woman but added a special allure, as if it was going to lt him. Her long eyelashes shimred with artistic radiance in the morning light, her snowy skin was soft and delicate, and her pink lips resembled a cherry touched by morning dew.
Really want to take a sip.
Knock, knock, knock...
Tang Chendan looked up, Lu Shuai holding a bouquet, leaning against the door, twirling two fingers of his right hand, made a very handso greeting, "Miss Tang, good morning."
Tang Chendan’s gaze hardened, she frowned, "Get out!"
Tang’s angry expression had an unexpected charm, causing his heart to sway, especially that cold word ’get out’, as if it rolled right into his heart, "Miss Tang, I know you are single, and I am single too. You can dislike , but you cannot deprive of my right to like you; this is the right the Moon God has bestowed upon , and as a Night Patrol mber, you cannot break the law knowingly."
Lu Shuai said, focused and gentle.
Tang Chendan had rejected him many tis, sotis even harshly. This kind of aristocratic child cares about face, and after three rejections at most will retreat, but this one is indeed sowhat different.
Gathering her materials, Tang Chendan glanced at Lu Shuai, "Mr. Lu, I have a case in the North District to investigate, please do not waste my ti."
"Miss Tang, a young woman like you is bound to face trouble when handling cases. I am a representative of the Lower Council in the North District, and the North District cases are my responsibility. This morning my carriage and I are at Miss Tang’s disposal, as my modest contribution to Dragon Capital’s Justice," Lu Shuai said with a smile.
"Why only in the morning?"
"Afternoon I have an appointnt with Li Xin, my brother can’t do without . In the evening I have a gathering with Potter, Isaiah, and several major families including the Bai Family to discuss minor matters. Of course, if Miss Tang needs , I can push everything off." Lu Shuai spread his hands nonchalantly.
Tang Chendan thought about it. Without a carriage, it was quite inconvenient. She had several places to go today, and taking him along might give him a reality check.
"If you can’t keep up, feel free to leave anyti," Tang Chendan said coolly.
Lu Shuai’s heart instantly blood with joy, he patted his chest, stepped aside gentlemanly to let her through, stretched out a hand, "Miss Tang, please."
At the door of Shadow Owl, Lu Shuai turned his back to give ng Po a thumbs up, such a reliable lady deserves more money.
"Young master, where do you want to go?" The driver in a smart little waistcoat uniform with white gloves said respectfully.
"This morning we’ll follow Miss Tang’s lead," Lu Shuai opened the carriage door, going out to handle matters always required a carriage, it’s his unbeatable standard setup in Celestial Capital.

Hedan Black Market.
Using the Faceless Man’s Wail, Simmons transford into a chubby, greasy middle-aged man, his height also shortened, and once he spoke, a large gold tooth was revealed. Not only did his appearance and stature change, but his aura and character did too, even unconsciously performing the coarse act of picking his nose.
The power of this Secret Item was truly exceptional. To avoid getting entangled with Celestia, he left early in the morning, enjoying Hedan’s morning as a middle-aged nouveau riche. Indeed, everything around him was different; people’s gazes were no longer respectful, but envious and disdainful. During als, he even heard gossip and mockery, all these feelings were very fresh.
Simmons was neither angry nor did he refute, he quietly observed and sensed, feeling as though living another life.
Of course, completing the task was paramount; as the first to actively strike at the Round Table Conference, he had to accomplish it beautifully. When the Round Table Conference eventually dominated Dao Yuan, perhaps hidden history would record that the great Libra Simmons took a critical first step today.
Hedan’s black market was one of the top ones in Dao Yuan Eastern Continent, naturally, the George Family was familiar with it too. In the past, the George Family even had so shares in the black market, but after being demoted, those shares were lost.
The Adventurer Association was not unfamiliar with Simmons, but the experience was different from when Little George ca.
Simmons arrived at the front desk, first registered a new ID, according to Adventurer Association’s rules; they generally don’t care about the truth of soone’s identity unless it concerns specific people or families. Verified identities would start at different levels within Adventurer Association, divided into bronze, silver, and gold levels, corresponding to future adventure permissions and assistance that might be unlocked. Many Travel Group mbers and pirates open secondary accounts in Adventurer Association, enjoying checking their main account’s bounties there, and bragging among peers.
After paying a 100 Lira fee, Simmons obtained a bronze badge representing adventurer status. Accumulating enough contribution points would invite him to beco a silver badge adventurer, and as Simmons from the George Family, he directly received a silver badge. If one day he inherited the family’s title, he would automatically advance to a gold badge adventurer.
The Adventurer Association’s bronze badge fee is 100 Lira, silver registration fee is one gold, and gold costs one hundred gold, gold mbers also annually pay mbership fees.
After selecting a mission to pay for, a sexy adventurer lady at the front desk led Simmons into a dimly lit room within the association. Candles were placed around the room, and in the center sat a woman shrouded in a gray robe. The woman’s age was indeterminate, her eyes enchanting, her hands playing with a crystal ball, a "Zodiac Card" placed on the table notes she is a diviner.
Diviners, Life Masters, and Prophets all possess certain foresight and judgnt abilities, but there are differences in detail, variation in ans and strength of field. Prophets focus on sensing the future, diviners determine matters based on sufficient elents, diviners emphasize judgnt over foresight.
Life Masters are sowhat all-rounders, dabbling in past and future, familiar with both foresight and judgnt, but compared to diviners and prophets, the cost is more.
Diviners and prophets can predict anyone, whereas Life Masters cannot predict or judge themselves.
Of course, the three also have many commonalities, commonly they are:
Must use Secret Items;
Targets cannot be Deities;
Must receive compensation after using their abilities.
No one knows if they added the last rule themselves.
"Mr. Parr, please sit," the diviner’s sowhat magnetic voice ca, Simmons’s expression relaxed a little, he was quite fond of mature won.
"Mr. Parr, your submitted A119 task is extrely confidential, mbership regulations of the association require you to confirm whether you have read them carefully," the diviner said gently.
Simmons subconsciously touched his belly that felt like six months pregnant, grinned, "Of course, and once you verify the truth, can I take the money and leave right away?"
"Naturally, once you ntion it, I will make a determination. As long as the judgnt is correct, you can take the bounty, if there’s any deception involved in this matter, your adventurer points would be deducted."
Simmons impatiently waved his pudgy hand, "I know, I know."
