When the crowd around her was no longer dense, Angel emerged directly from the mirror. Her body shape changed at the same time, her long hair turned maroon, and her facial features squirmed and shifted, turning into an ordinary-looking young woman in the blink of an eye.

She straightened her casual dress, bought a museum ticket, and followed the crowd into the exhibition hall.

Since there is no need to do it yourself today, Angel just hangs far behind William Sykes and his female companion, stopping from time to time to look at the exhibits in the glass cabinets, reading detailed historical allusions, and wandering in the thousands of years of the Loen Kingdom.

"Compared with the golden toilet that 'represents the glory of human civilization' in the Emperor Roselle Exhibition exhibition, the cultural relics that embody the human collective Wisdom are more full of historical significance..."

Angel glanced at an oil painting from 500 years ago and commented with her surprisingly little historical knowledge.

"I do think that some sudden inventions or improvements are much more important than the cyclical repetition of history, such as steam engines, such as 'Patriotic Health Campaign'..."

A familiar word came from behind her. The momentary spiritual touch and the memory in her mind made her rounded cheeks twitch, and then she turned back.

Dwayne Dantès, wearing a half-top hat and a cane under his arm, with rather attractive facial features, stood behind her with a humble smile, followed by a thin man in his forties, who must be his butler or personal bodyguard Male Servant.

"Casually striking up a conversation is not the behavior of Loen's Gentlemen."

Angel raised his eyebrows, kept a certain distance from Klein, and said.

"Humility and maintaining social distance are virtues, but when it comes to discussing academic issues, sincerity and persistence come first." Klein pressed his hat and bowed slightly to greet him, "I am Dwayne Dantès, a businessman from Desi. I don't know what to call you?"

He even pulled her on, so he couldn't be taking the opportunity to create a "personality"... Angel looked at Klein's movements speechlessly, and replied with a slight snort:

"Call me Irene."

At the same time, she raised her right hand and casually placed three fingers on the lace edge of the neckline of the dress.

Klein's smiling expression just now froze for a moment, and he couldn't even say the next words.

Sure enough, he didn't even recognize me... Angel smiled secretly, passed him by, and walked in the direction of William Sykes.

Looking at the retreating figure of "Irene", Klein took a while to recover from the embarrassment and looked at the butler Walter next to him. The latter's expression did not change at all and his gaze was fixed in front of him, giving his employer face.

"Walter, the man who left the showcase just now... the one with his female companion, do you know him?"

Discovering that the disguised Angel was quietly following the man and woman, Klein quickly found a topic and asked.

He was actually a little curious about the two people when he walked into the exhibition hall. The man was wearing expensive formal clothes and had a cane worth dozens of pounds. He looked older, and the backs of his fingers and hands were dry and rough, as if he had been doing rough work a lot. The woman seemed to be distant from him, and she was probably a mistress rather than a real partner.

The most important thing is that his butler saw the man from a distance and showed obvious surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Dantès, I had contact with him when I was working for my previous employer Viscount Conrad. His name is William Sykes. He once served Earl of Lasting and Prince Edessak Augustus. After the death of His Highness Prince, he became the deacon of another viscount... I just wonder why I see him here."

In Loen, those with actual titles are often referred to as fiefs rather than surnames. Rustin is the traditional territory of the royal family and was once owned by Edessak.

William Sykes used to work for Prince Edessak... Could he be the target that Angel said in the letter that Trissy planned to contact?

Klein listened to the butler's introduction and understood. He was not worried about what problems Angel, as Demigod, would encounter. He just felt that if he attacked this William before he was fully prepared, he might alert the royal family behind him.

Of course, the risks are high, and the benefits are equally huge. As long as we get major clues from William, we may be able to identify the specific personnel of this royal faction. Three Great Churches, who almost opposed the royal family in Great Smog, will definitely not let go of this opportunity to weaken the royal family and will definitely pursue it to the end.

I kind of want to get involved, but before I get Antigonus Family Notebook, I'm not going to go deep into the investigation of the Great Smog incident. I can only hand it over to Angel first...

Klein sighed secretly, decided to endure his curiosity and worry, and not get too involved in Angel's goals. He kept nodding as Walter continued to introduce, interrupting the other party at the right time, and said:

"I'm just a little curious. Let's go to the 'Oath Betrayal War' exhibition hall."

Mixed in the crowd, Angel followed William Sykes and his female companion through almost the entire museum and did not leave until nearly noon.

I originally thought that he was just showing off his interest in culture and art in front of his mistress, but I didn't expect that he was actually visiting the exhibition, and had a deep research on the history of Loen... Angel sighed, seeing After the "accidental encounter" between William and Dwayne Dantès played by Klein, they left the museum and went to the hotel across the street, checked in, got into a suite on the third floor, and nothing happened.

I'm afraid it won't do any good to open a room in the middle of the day.

She chuckled secretly, and was about to find a place to get into Mirror World and observe what William was doing in the room, when she suddenly felt some movement in an alley next to her.

No one was in the alley, but the spiritual sense reminded me that it couldn't be Trissy hiding there, right?

Angel walked into the alley and saw Trissy, who looked like a female ghost in a black dress, leaning against the wall.

"I'm curious, did you enter the museum just to follow William Sykes? Why didn't you just wait at the door?"

Seeing her walking into the alley, Trissy asked in a puzzled tone.

She still maintained respect for the superior in her words, but it sounded harsh to Angel, as if she was mocking her for spending two hours wandering aimlessly in the museum.

Taking a deep breath, she asked:

"Are you planning to transfer Sequence 4 to 'Hunter' Pathway?"

"What?" Trissy was a little surprised.

"'Demoness' and 'Hunter' can be interchanged when promoting to Sequence 4, and... Sequence 4 of Hunter will force people to become male."

Angel said softly, enjoying the doubtful, shocked and desperate look in Trissy's eyes.

"I... heh, if it were half a year ago, I would have agreed without hesitation, but now, there is no chance."

Various expressions flashed through one by one, and the last one that stayed on Trissy's face was determination and a hint of desolation.

No chance, does it mean that after accepting the gift of "Primordial Demoness", she cannot transfer to the adjacent Pathway, or does it mean that she no longer struggles with her identity and gender issues?

Angel felt that his sarcasm had hit the cotton. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. After a while, he dropped the topic and continued:

"William is on the third floor of the hotel next door. He went in with his mistress. When are you going to take action?"

"Wait a minute. After his mistress leaves, I will go in and deal with him personally. You, just stay nearby and deal with other Beyonders that may appear."

You don't have to maintain superficial respect... Angel always felt that Hunter Pathway missed another good idea. She nodded, directly touched the glass window next to the alley, entered "Mirror World", followed the complicated and dark passage to the third floor of the hotel, and stayed in the decorative mirror on the corridor, observing the scene inside.

About half an hour later, the young mistress took care of her messy hair, opened the door, and quickly left the hotel. William Sykes called for room service and sent a bottle of red wine in. There was no other movement.

After a moment, Angel saw Trissy walking from the side of the corridor. Compared with just now, she not only put on light makeup, but also tied up her black skirt slightly, revealing her smooth and white calves. With her fully exuding "Demoness" charm, Angel in the mirror couldn't take her eyes away.

It's hard to imagine that when Tingen City was here, she was still a shy, childish man... Angel watched dumbfoundedly as Trissy knocked on the door of William's room, pretending to be a lady who accidentally walked into the wrong room, and then followed her into the room with a little "Instigator" rhetoric.

Ah, seduction?

She was a little hesitant at Mirror World, whether to leave some time for the two of them, but soon felt that it was not necessary, so she came to the room through the passage in the mirror, looked out from the full-length mirror in the bedroom, and not surprisingly found William and Trissy walking into the room in ambiguous postures.

Even Beyonder would have a hard time resisting the power of Demoness without any defense, let alone Trissy, a Demoness who is even willing to accept the gift of "Primordial Demoness" for revenge.

He casually took off his coat and handed it to Trissy. William was pushed down on the soft big bed after a little "resistance". The bed was a little messy. It was obvious that someone had "battled" on it not long ago, but William, whose interest was aroused, was still high-spirited and his face was flushed with excitement.

"How about we go to Intis Restaurant that West Borough in the evening? After enjoying the big meal, it's okay..."

"... I can eat you."

Suddenly, the tone of William, who was speaking nonsensical love words, became cold, and the confused aura on his body was swept away, turning into an extremely majestic aura that made people want to kneel down and surrender.

At the same time, clusters of golden flames appeared around him, and they flowed densely in the room, burning away the threads that had invisibly surrounded him.

Trissy's face changed drastically, and he jumped up from William without hesitation, as if to stay away from the flames containing the sacred aura, and pulled away to regroup. However, he turned an angle as if he was dizzy, and leaned against William Sykes who had already stood up from the bed, clenching his fists.

The latter snorted softly and punched out, tearing off countless reassembled threads, breaking through the ice that Trissy had gathered in a hurry, and slammed her against the wall.
