Deland City.
Wearing a blue and white shirt, black trousers, and carrying a suitcase, Fang Xian entered the city. He felt that something was wrong.
There were obviously more security officers patrolling the streets. They scanned the unfamiliar faces in the crowd with vigilant and dangerous gazes.
He had become a 'target'.
Immediately, two uniformed security officers stepped forward and blocked his way. "Inspection, please show me your ID!"
"I forgot to go to the black market to get an ID …"
"If I get arrested just like this, the fact that I ran away from home will become a big joke …"
Fang Xian was speechless as she thought about some things. She took out a badge from her pocket.
This was the student ID of the Mystery Academy. He had not returned it in time.
If this did not work, he would take out his graduation certificate.
In any case, refusing an inspection in public or escaping after injuring a security officer was not a wise choice.
"Hmm, I also need a disguise mask …"
Fang Xian's thoughts ran wild. "I wonder if the local black market sells these …"
"So you're a student of the Mystery Academy."
One of the security officers' expression softened a little. The other one had a slightly complicated expression.
In ancient times, only the nobles controlled the mysterious power. The commoners could only revere it.
But now, because of the Tower of the Sage of Wisdom, the mysterious power had spread to the commoners. However, the long estrangement could not dissipate in a short time.
There were even some conservative people who treated mysterious people as monsters!
"What happened?"
Fang Xian asked casually.
"A group of ghouls who call themselves' Gourmets' have fled to the vicinity of the city … I'm sorry, because of your identity as a mysterious person, we still need to do an inspection."
The security officer with a gentle expression bowed and gestured for his partner to call someone.
Fang Xian chatted with him for a while. Only then did he know that a group of ghouls had been wandering around Worcester County and had committed many serious crimes in Deland City.
Because of this, the security officers mobilized a lot of manpower to investigate the streets.
Not long after, the security officer brought another person over.
"Special Case Division?"
Fang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly. The other person's temperament reminded him of the two agents who went to the manor last time.
"Nice to meet you, young junior. My name is Jax, and I also graduated from the Mystery Academy. I can be considered your senior …"
Jax looked to be in his thirties. He had blonde curly hair and a cheerful smile. "I'm sorry … Please stretch out your hand. This is a mandatory check for all mysterious people."
He took out a small bottle and shook the liquid inside. "Bloodthirst Tincture. You know its effects."
"If the skin of a ghoul touches it, it will change color!"
Fang Xian nodded and stretched out the back of his hand for Jax to drip a drop of Bloodthirsty Tincture on it.
The transparent color dissipated, but there was no change at all.
"Sorry to disturb you!"
Seeing this, the smile on Jax's face became even wider. "I haven't asked for your name yet."
"Call me Owen!"
Fang Xian replied with a smile, "I'm on my graduation trip. I didn't expect to encounter something like this."
"Yeah … No one wants that … Graduation is wonderful, but as for your future career plans, I suggest that you don't join the Special Forces. Although the pay is good, the missions are too heavy … Look at my dark circles."
Jax grumbled and suddenly asked, "Do you want to take a part-time job during the holidays?"
A student who could go on a graduation trip would at least have the [Ancient Bronze] level, which was the same level as him.
"Senior, you want to hire me? I don't have that thought at the moment … "
Fang Xian looked around. "Do you have any recommended hotels? Also … I want to go to the local Mysterious Bazaar, the kind that is more secretive. "
"The Osmanthus Hotel is not bad …"
Jax revealed a smile that all men understood. "I strongly recommend it … As for the Mysterious Bazaar, it has been raided and closed recently because it is suspected of housing ghouls and other dark creatures. It has become very quiet. I'm afraid you will be disappointed …"
"Indeed …"
Fang Xian patted his head. He felt that he had forgotten about the effects of the chain reaction.
"But … I can recommend you to a private gathering as an apology for the inconvenience this time." Jax appeared very enthusiastic and handed over a business card. "Go to this address on Wednesday or Thursday night. Tell them that I recommended it. You can disguise yourself."
"Then … Goodbye!"
He waved his hand and continued to patrol with the two sheriffs.
Fang Xian took the business card and glanced at it.
There was no name on it, only an address.
"44 Phoenix Street?"
…
Fang Xian did not have a destination this time. He just wandered around the continent, collected robbery power, and looked for the inheritance of the Warlock Tower.
Other than that, he waited for the deal in the Dream Land.
With these two preparations, he was still a little confident that he could find clues to the inheritance.
Thinking silently, Fang Xian arrived at the Osmanthus Hotel.
"Hello, sir. May I know if you want accommodation or other services?"
Behind the counter stood a receptionist in a black-and-white maid uniform. Her cleavage was very deep, and when she bowed, it was simply soul-stirring.
"Give me a room. Jax recommended it."
Fang Xian said in a deep voice.
"So it's a guest recommended by Mr. Jax …" The girl smiled sweetly and did not ask for identification anymore. She quickly checked in for Fang Xian and gave him a key. "The third room on the left on the second floor. Do you need special services?"
"No need, thank you!"
Fang Xian's face was cold. He felt that he had come to the wrong place.
However, when he arrived at the room and opened it, he was surprised to find that it was well-furnished and very clean.
Especially dinner. The chef made New World colonial style dishes, which suited Fang Xian's taste very well.
After dinner and a good bath, Fang Xian put on a loose suit and walked out of the hotel, as if he wanted to take a walk.
Today happened to be the time that Jax mentioned, so he slowly walked to 44 Phoenix Street.
What he saw was a huge two-story western-style building.
Through the iron fence that was covered in vines, he could see the colorful garden and the exotic red brick house.
Fang Xian stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Not long after, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler came to the door. "May I ask who you are?"
He looked at Fang Xian, who had already put on a pitch-black mask, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"I came to attend the party because of the reputation."
Fang Xian showed the business card in his hand and said in a low voice.
"Oh, a guest."
The butler opened the door with a smile and easily let Fang Xian in.
"As expected …"
Fang Xian followed behind the butler and understood. It seems that the threshold for this gathering is relatively low, and it's relatively easy to enter. Jax is just a soliciter?
He didn't say Jax's name at first because he didn't want to expose himself.
If it didn't work, then he would use his name to enter.
Now it seemed that this decision was correct.
Fang Xian maliciously guessed that perhaps Jax was a soliciter. If he said his name for the transaction, he would probably get a commission.
