Seeing this anonymous letter, Angel almost turned around and wanted to leave. This scene triggered the unbearable memory of her receiving the letter from Madam Sharon at Tingen City, packing up her belongings and preparing to run away.

"Phew, Madam Sharon has died in my hands."

The memory of the few days he had just "traveled" here was too deep. Angel soothed his injured heart, bent down to pick up the envelope, locked the door, sat down at the table, opened the envelope, spread out the letter and read it carefully.

To her surprise, this letter was sent by another Demoness of Pleasure. Fortunately, it was not the Tingen, but Ms. Lola Swann whom she met at Backlund and who had an inexplicable hostility towards the Demoness Sect.

She had tried to investigate this surname, but as a family with a long history, Swann Family had been spreading for many years, and there were many families with different titles and statuses in Backlund, so she had not gained anything yet.

The letter simply stated an address and an invitation to meet tonight, but being able to put the letter into her safe house at East Borough undoubtedly showed more of a threatening nature.

The address is located at Docklands, which is obviously not the real residence of the noble Miss. It may be a safe house rented by Angel.

"But how did she find out where I live? Even if I ignore what she said about 'no longer using divination,' divination will not work on me," Angel stroked Hidden Holy Emblem on his wrist and analyzed, "Or did she directly track my movements? But after Dominic reminded me, I also took adequate anti-tracking measures and even changed the safe house...

"It seems I can't live here anymore. I have to look for a new place tomorrow. Fortunately, I pay the rent on a half-monthly basis, so I won't lose too much..."

After hesitating for a moment, Angel decided to go to Docklands for an appointment tonight, at least to find out how the other party discovered his safe house, so as to avoid the other party discovering his last residence in the same way, which would cause great losses.

However, before you go, you must be fully prepared, whether it is fighting or running away...

Angel packed up the valuables in the safe house, took one look at the residence she had used for more than a month, and left without looking back.

At night, the heavily armed Angel came to Docklands on a street near the Tussock River.

During this period, she has summarized some rules for carrying the "Good Luck" revolver that will cause bad luck. For example, it will not occur multiple times in a short period of time. For example, the form of bad luck is usually bad luck for people around her, which will affect herself...

After hiring a carriage to pull her back and forth twice, she accidentally skidded and hit a lamppost on the side of the road. Then she got out of the carriage with satisfaction, compensated the coachman, and walked to the meeting place.

In this way, something too bad will not happen again in a short period of time.

In front of a three-story house facing the river with an unattractive appearance, she followed the letter and knocked on the wooden door at long and short intervals until her knuckles felt a little painful. Then the door was slowly opened, and a deep voice said:

"Come in."

Following the man in a cloak, with only the lower half of his face exposed, Angel came to the second floor and saw Lola Swann, the Demoness of Pleasure, in a room with sealed windows.

She was not as elaborately dressed as she usually was when we met at Divination Club. Instead, she was wearing a simple hooded robe, revealing only her white hands and cheeks.

The room was very sparsely furnished, with almost no furniture except for tables, chairs, and gas lamps. Compared to the safe house Angel, which was small but was often used as a residence, it looked like a residence in a slum.

"I thought it was my meeting with you."

Angel looked at the hooded man who walked directly behind Lola, sat on the other side of the square table, and said with a smile.

"He is also my ally, and I, like you, came together to deal with the Demoness Sect."

Lola folded his hands on his knees, naturally showing an alluring temperament.

"Deal with the Demoness Sect? I didn't agree, and aren't you afraid that I will tell my upline when I get back and let Demoness Sect deal with you?"

"I believe you won't. After all, even if you don't have any deep grudge against them, you still have some secrets you don't want to expose, right? Demoness of Pleasure Miss?"

"Demoness of Pleasure? Are you introducing yourself?"

Angel raised his eyebrows, lowered his legs that he had just raised, changed his sitting posture and asked, his left hand lowered down seemingly unintentionally, already holding the small pocket watch hanging down to the palm of his hand.

"You think your disguise is perfect, but I've seen the problem a long time ago," Lola smiled sweetly, with a hint of teasing in his lake-blue eyes, "After being promoted to Sequence 6, your demeanor and movements have undergone subtle changes. It may be difficult for other Pathways to notice, but you can tell the difference if you are both Demoness of Pleasure."

"Of course, based on this, even your superiors should not have any doubts. After all, after promotion, the appearance becomes more outstanding is the foundation of the foundation. But a certain Mystical Item I own can tell the degree of malice of the person in front of me and the threat to me. In that meeting after I told you the formula of Potion, and when you asked how to play 'Pleasure', I was sure that you had been promoted to Sequence 6."

"So, Demoness Miss, can you let me see your true face?"

This Demoness of Pleasure put his hands on his sides, leaned forward, and showed undisguised expectation on his face. This girlish posture made Angel feel like he couldn't bear to refuse.

After a moment of silence, she released her hand holding Magician Pocket Watch and took off "Madness Ring" from her fingers.

Through the image reflected in the lake blue eyes of Lola who was very close, Angel could see that his long black hair turned into gray in an instant, his round face with freckles also narrowed, his chin was elegantly curved, his lips were delicate and his nose was straight, with a hint of maturity, but his green eyes also showed a hint of shyness. The two contradictory styles were blended together, but they were extremely harmonious.

Lola looked at "Madness Ring" held in Angel's hand, then returned to her face that had lost Mystical Item's cover, and nodded with satisfaction.

"This is like a normal Sequence 6. The way you looked before, I almost thought you were disfigured before you became Witch."

"Heh."

The middle-aged man behind her chuckled, seemingly amused by the not-so-funny joke.

"Now it's my turn to ask questions," Angel ignored his provocative laughter and stared at Lola. "How did you find my safe house and why did you leave that letter?"

Lola Before he could speak, the middle-aged man let out another harsh sneer and said in a deep voice:

"You call that a safe house? Every time I go back from Divination Club, I go in the same direction. Although I have good anti-tracking awareness, I know how to backtrack, change transportation, pass through crowded places, and even change the location of the safe house regularly, but there will always be a day of negligence."

Angel glanced at him. "Hunter?"

The masculine breath froze.

"Haha, Vincent's tone is a little bad, but it is indeed him who tracked you. To show our sincerity, we did not further search for your real residence. If we didn't need to find you for something this time, we would not notify you in this way."

Lola said with a chuckle, slightly relaxing the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Besides, I also guessed that you will probably not go to the club to perform again after your promotion, so I am going to use a new contact method so that we can keep in touch regularly."

Does she think I go to the club just to act? No, I'm earning my £15 membership fee back!

Angel cursed, his expression unchanged, and nodded slowly. "Then how are you going to contact me in the future?"

This Demoness of Pleasure fumbled under his robe and took out a glass bottle with a small capacity. It was filled with a dark red viscous liquid, which was somewhat similar to the medicine Angel mixed with blood, but there was some gray-white powder mixed inside, which shimmered under the gas light.

"This is a potion used for communication. Use Ritual Magic to establish contact with me. You can use it to smear it around the mirror to form a complete closed circle, and you can talk to me through the mirror."

"How do I know this isn't some kind of ritual used to locate or even summon an evil presence?"

Looking at this strange bottle of potion, Angel did not reach out to take it.

"I will teach you how to make it later, including some other Beyonder Ability usage skills. You are already Sequence 6. It's time to learn to develop new abilities by yourself instead of relying on the knowledge in Potion."

With a charming chuckle, Lola put the bottle on the table.

"But first, you need to hear what I want and the possibilities for our cooperation."
