Early on Saturday morning, Angel and Klein came to Xiangshu Avenue near Bayam Docklands and entered a house with a nondescript appearance.

This is one of the properties that Danitz purchased using his savings over the years. The interior was only briefly decorated and only partially furnished.

When Bayam is on vacation, Danitz occasionally lives here, but most of the time it is just used as a safe house.

At this time, he was already waiting at the door. He wore a simple disguise. The black wig hung slightly stiffly on the back of his head. The glasses on the bridge of his nose made his eyes look a little dull. When he saw the two people arriving, he pointed in the direction of the bedroom and said:

"Red-Haired Lady is inside. She knows she has a lot of rewards outside, so she didn't try to escape."

In fact, it doesn't matter if she ran away. "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy is too busy to take care of herself now. If other forces find her, the most they can do is send her to Intis Embassy or Sauron Family. It's not necessarily a bad thing... Angel thought, opened the bedroom door and entered the simple bedroom with only a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and closed windows. He saw Ilian Sauron, who was wearing a simple dress and had messy red hair, looking at him blankly.

"Where is Tracy? Have you seen her?"

When she saw the visitor, her first question was to ask Pirate Admiral who offered a high price to capture her. Combined with Tracy's reactions last night, Angel wanted to laugh a little.

"She should be thinking of ways to escape from the siege of the navy and Church of Storms now. After all, 'Black Death' has sunk in the fjord east of Bayam."

Klein had resumed his "Mad Adventurer Gehrman" appearance at this time. It was rare for him to say such a long speech, but his face was as calm as usual, as if he was talking about what breakfast he had in the morning.

"Black Death... sank?" Helene murmured, and then his eyes moved to Angel next to Klein, "It's you! Do you know him? No wonder, if it's you, it's really possible..."

She recalled the battle in which Angel easily crushed "City Breaker", and she no longer had any doubts about Vice Admiral of Ailment's flagship sinking overnight.

But when these words fell into the ears of "Blaze" Danitz who was standing by the door watching the show, they were like a thunder.

Yesterday, he cooperated with Klein to find Helene, which was discovered by the rebels. He used the ability of "Faceless" to replace it. After delivering the fake Helene to Third Mate Mesor King of "Vice Admiral of Ailment", he took the real Helene to this safe house for protection.

It wasn't until this morning that he knew that "Gehrman" and "Angelica" happened to sneak into Black Death together, defeated this Pirate Admiral, and obtained the necessary information.

But he had never heard that the entire "Black Death" was destroyed in the battle.

That was one of the seven Pirate Admirals, the flagship of "Vice Admiral of Ailment". Not to mention Tracy herself, even if only her men were on the ship, there were more than ten Beyonders, including even Sequence 6s like Mesor King.

Not counting the Golden Cannon, the probability of winning between "Golden Dream" and "Black Death" would not be more than 50%. And these two Lunatic climbed up "Black Death" and defeated Tracy and all her men, and even demolished her ship?

If they had a conflict with "Golden Dream" and the captain...

With this thought in mind, Danitz quietly took two steps outside, a little further away from Angel and Klein.

Not noticing the strange-looking man's movements at the door, Helene's face was full of despair.

She should have been happy to learn that Tracy was defeated and left, and that the biggest burden on her head had disappeared. Then she only needed to go to Intis Embassy in Bayam, find the Sauron Family members stationed here, and then she could embark on the journey back to her motherland.

But her heart felt empty at the moment, as if something was missing.

"You should be safe now. Do you need us to take you back to the embassy?"

Seeing a hint of helplessness in Red-Haired Lady's eyes, Angel smiled to himself, glanced sideways at Klein, who had a look on his face, and said helplessly.

"No... I, I'll think about it again."

Helene subconsciously refused, but then realized that this was the moment he had been waiting for, and fell into entanglement again.

During the year when she was captured by Tracy and trapped next to him, she was thinking about how to escape all the time, thinking about returning to her motherland and seeing her relatives.

But now, she was a little confused and didn't know whether she should embark on the journey immediately.

Bringing a ship with the funds and goods provided by the family to the sea, only to return empty-handed a year later will only continue to increase the debt owed by my father, making it impossible for our family to escape from the debt... She was looking for excuses.

What if you continue to stay at Bayam? I am already Beyonder of Sequence 7, and I am at the stage where I can join a team of people and venture out on the sea... Most of the Sauron Family's seniors are like this, they are alone People are developing their own power in the Rhoside Islands, in the Intervening Sea, and even as far away as Southern Continent. They will not return to Intis until they bring a team of loyal subordinates with them...

Looking at Demoness with her hands folded on her chest, waiting for her answer, endless courage suddenly emerged from Helene's heart.

During the year by Tracy's side, the other party had always protected her well and kept her away from all dangers. She had no specific idea of the strength of Sequence 5's Pirate Admiral, but after seeing Angel, also Sequence 5, easily destroy an entire warship, she developed a strong yearning for such a powerful Beyonder.

Yes, although Sauron Family has not yet had a woman become Beyonder of High Sequence, why can't she do it herself? Isn't now a good opportunity?

After Persuasion himself in his heart, Helene slowly stood up from the bed and looked at Angel with his green eyes.

"I have decided not to go back to Intis for the time being," she said with a pursed lips, clenching her hands into fists, and cheering herself up. "Going back now will only mean carrying more debts, and letting the family members who lent me money control them... I want to stay here until I earn enough money to pay off all the debts, and then return home. I am already Sequence 7, enough to be at sea..."

"Sequence 7?"

The one who spoke was Danitz who was already hiding outside the door. He sneered and provoked Helene without mercy:

"I became 'Pyromaniac' five years ago, but so what, Beyonder of Mid Sequence can indeed solve most of the troubles at sea, but Above the Five Seas does not lack adventurers and pirates who are more talented and powerful than you. Maybe you take a vacation and walk into a bar, and you will meet several hateful guys who can solve you in a minute, or even hang you out of the porthole..."

He suddenly stopped chattering because Angel had looked at him coldly.

"No, I have a way to digest... master Potion faster. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I can be ready to be promoted to Sequence 6 within a year."

Ignoring Danitz's sarcasm, Helene said slowly.

Sure enough, she should also have mastered "Acting Method". Was it what Tracy told her, or was it the inheritance within the Sauron Family... The former is more likely, based on Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics, this kind of ancient family that has lasted for thousands of years should not easily disclose Acting Method, and will only choose a few outstanding descendants to train... Angel thought about it, and came up with a plan.

"If you are what you said, maybe I can give you a chance, or investment." She looked at Helene, who opened his eyes wide at her words and looked a little surprised, "But you have to show me your value first, otherwise, not only will I recover my investment, but I may also sell you at a good price."

Obviously thinking about who the "buyer" would be, Helene's expression turned gloomy for a moment, then nodded and replied:

"That's a reasonable request, so what should I do?"

After closing the bedroom door and shutting out Danitz who consciously stayed away, Angel continued:

"First, within a month, you must prepare a team that can sail a sailboat to sea. I don't care if you hire, cajole, or rob, I only want the results; then, sail the ship I provided and go to sea, and within a year, pay off my investment, plus an additional 2,000 pounds. Likewise, I don't care if you go back to your old job, or simply imitate Tracy and rob, I only care about the final results.

"As support for you, I will provide you with 1,000 pounds of funds, an unarmed ordinary sailing ship, a Mystical Item that can hide your identity, and... your hope of promotion."

"Hope for promotion?"

Helene's eyes lit up and he asked, not feeling embarrassed about the other conditions.

As Sequence 7's Beyonder, she is very aware of how precious the Potion formula is. Sauron Family naturally has formulas up to High Sequence inside, but this is not what she owes. Even the Tracy who gave her the "Pyromaniac" formula said that the Potion of Sequence 6 could only be found by herself, and it was almost impossible for the outside world to buy it.

"Yes, promoted Potion, after you finish digesting the current Potion, you can purchase the subsequent formula from me. Of course, this will all be counted as your debt."

Angel replied with a smile.

The other party has already revealed that she knows the "acting method". She does not need to break the oath she made in front of "Sword of the Goddess" Crested. This is also one of the important reasons for investing in Elaine - even if she does not have talent, she is at least lucky enough to know the "acting method", and she will definitely be able to go further on the extraordinary road.

What she was thinking about at the moment was the ruined city she saw "after death" and the "Red Priest" card that was among the "Demoness" cards.

On it, the formula "Hunter" Pathway Potion is recorded from Sequence 9 to Sequence 0!

Seeing that Helene still didn't believe it, she glanced at Klein and said calmly:

"As part of the reward in advance and to give you confidence, I can tell you that when 'Hunter' Pathway is promoted from Sequence 5 to Demigod, Potion will force you to become a male."

"What? This is impossible!"

Red-Haired Lady exclaimed, subconsciously taking a step back and almost tripping over the edge of the bed.

But a voice in her head told her that it was all true.

No wonder, in the family tree, among the ancestors who have lived for more than a hundred years, apparently reaching the level of High Sequence, none of them are women... I thought it was some kind of bias in training, but I didn't expect that the deeper reason turned out to be the characteristics of Potion...

There was also the weird smile when the family elder came to me and provided me with "Hunter" Potion and a funding agreement. He said that I was very similar to one of Fourth Epoch's ancestors, but I couldn't find any relevant records...

Helene Thoughts came to mind one after another, and he accepted this reality at a speed that surprised himself.

Anyway, Sequence 4 is still too far away for me... She shook her head and shook off the strange thoughts that emerged from her mind. Then she looked at Angel and said:

"I agree to these conditions, then, should I sign certain agreements, or..."

After a while, Angel left the bedroom with a bottle of fresh blood. Walking beside her, in addition to Klein who watched the entire transaction process with an indifferent face, there was also a heroic lady with long brown hair and an ordinary face that was difficult to remember the details.
