The dark green background and the silver words on the signboard instantly turned strange when it was dipped in the brain juice.
The words that were supposed to be inanimate started to swim like fish, swirling ceaselessly.
A heavy voice came from inside the bookstore.
"Are you provoking me?"
Following the voice, a man with a gloomy face walked out.
The man was aggressive and pressuring Kieran.
However, soon enough, when Kieran grabbed the man's head with lightning speed, the man's face turned for the worse.
Because he saw the headless body from before.
"Wait!
I'm not … "
Kak!
Without any intention to listen to the man's explanation, Kieran activated [Heavy Hand] again.
Similar to the pale middle-aged man, the man's head was also blasted out.
The only difference was, there weren't any items on the man's body.
After another glance at the green glow on the body outside the bookstore, Kieran undid the dead buckle in front of his chest and put Anne Aldrich Augen down, whose face had turned extremely red without his knowledge.
However, as if it was the residue of the poison, Anne Aldrich Augen couldn't even stand straight and fell towards Kieran.
Kieran moved aside.
A moment ago, he was sure Anne Aldrich Augen had recovered, otherwise he wouldn't have put her down.
Anne Aldrich Augen staggered two steps before he stood up straight.
"Mr. 2567, where's your gentlemanly demeanor from before?"
Anne Aldrich Augen crossed his arms and pretended to be pitiful.
"Transfer the owner of this bookstore and the deed to my name, consider it revenge for saving your life just now!"
Kieran didn't have the intention to continue the small talk with Anne Aldrich Augen, he said in a straightforward manner.
"You just killed the owner of this bookstore and now you want to take over the magpie's nest?
It's quite similar to my style!
"What a good impression!"
Anne Aldrich Augen then took out his phone and made a call.
While Anne Aldrich Augen was talking to some important figure, Kieran walked up to the spellcaster.
He was the owner of Mecca and Borjane.
Mecathy and Borjane's only descendant.
After Gannett informed Kieran of the three mystical gathering points, Kieran used Hoskin's worldly powers to conduct a superficial investigation of the three locations.
Therefore, the moment the person appeared, Kieran knew who it was.
At the same time, it also made Kieran feel that Gannett was up to no good.
If the assassination of the Twenty Hounds from the Elder Council was pardonable, the assassination at the Recommended Place was a sign of hostility.
Kieran wasn't someone who wouldn't fight back after being beaten.
But at the same time, Kieran was not a reckless person.
He would not rush to find the other party because he had lied to him.
He would use his own way to deal with the other party.
Of course, he also had doubts in his heart.
Kieran didn't think he had done anything that crossed the line.
Why was the other party so hostile towards him?
The Elder Council.
Twenty hounds.
Marulyn.
…
Nouns after nouns appeared in Kieran's mind one after another.
Lacking the necessary information, all the nouns were fragmented, causing Kieran's temples to swell.
Shaking his head quickly, Kieran checked the body before him and kept all the spellcasting materials on the body. After that, Kieran picked up the Magic rank item.
It was a wooden, 25 cm long, as thick as an index finger.
[Name: Poison Mist Staff]
[Type: Staff]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: Weak]
[Attribute: Toxic Mist, 1/3]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Master)]
[Remark: When casting the spell, you need to find a position with the wind.]
…
[Toxic Mist: Use the staff to create a toxic mist with a 30-meter radius. Able to randomly select a spot within the toxic mist's range as the 'Toxic Corrosion' zone (Unable to exceed the 2-meter radius, requires a Constitution authentication of A +, failure will result in lethal damage). After the target has been selected, the remaining toxic mist in the area will decrease, requiring a Constitution authentication of E, failure will result in a 3-minute paralysis]
…
"Not bad!"
Kieran commented honestly.
Then, he strode over to the other attackers.
All the weapons and items belonging to the attackers were brought back to the bookstore.
Even though they were all Superior and Excellent rank weapons and the items were just some simple potions, Kieran didn't mind.
Before he had a suitable equipment, Kieran didn't mind finding some replacements.
"You are so persistent with your spoils of war eh?
I realized we have something in common again! "
Anne Aldrich Augen couldn't help but say with a smile when she saw Kieran carrying a bunch of weapons into the bookstore. However, Kieran didn't care about her at all.
It made Anne Aldrich Augen frown a little.
She realized more and more that Kieran was similar to a certain someone.
"If I didn't know Mayer didn't have any brothers and both of you look completely different, I would really think you two are related by blood!
I've done everything you asked of me and there will be someone to clean up the bodies outside. Cymede Augen would come here every week when he was alive. I thought he just wanted to gain knowledge through reading but now it seems like … "
Anne Aldrich Augen smiled when she said that.
There was a different meaning in his smile.
When one's power or wealth reached a certain level, one would always come in contact with people, things, and things that common people couldn't.
Since Anne Aldrich Augen didn't ask about the changes to the bookstore signboard, Kieran had some guesses.
Though, it wasn't the time to continue having tea with her.
"If you want to return to Augen Manor, I suggest you call that Mayer now. Although they are here for me, no one can guarantee that they won't make a move on you."
Half warning and half expulsion.
"Thank you for your reminder and as a return, I'll tell you something else. Among the five bodies in Winchester House, other than Cymede Augen and his driver Tonita, one of them should be an archeology professor from Yuda State University."
Anne Aldrich Augen then walked out of the bookstore after she finished.
She knew Mayer's character very well, so she knew how to get along with people similar to Mayer.
Despite the freshness.
Anne Aldrich Augen also knew when she should leave.
After Anne Aldrich Augen left, Kieran swiftly closed the bookstore door. With [Tracking]'s field of vision, he quickly located what he was looking for: the entrance to the mystical gathering place.
"Hope it doesn't disappoint me!"
