Information Gap Flow

"Benefits? What benefits? Tell me!"

Lin Yu looked at Paris and asked directly.

After all, he is now Fu Luo, and Fu Luo never holds back in matters like this.

President Paris picked up an orange from the fruit platter and rubbed it between his hands. "As you know, over the years, sitting in this position as President, with Her Nightless Sky Huo Le backing me, I've done a lot for her and the Nightless Sky Family, cleaning up a lot of people..."

Lin Yu frowned. "Just say it directly, don't give me any background information."

President Paris quickened his pace. "I once wiped out a Noble family, and their family's Alchemy records fell into my hands—I can't practice them myself, but if Mr. Sherlock is interested..."

He held the orange in his palm and looked at Lin Yu.

"Of course," Lin Yu nodded, "But what level?"

The Noble of the City That Never Sleeps divided Alchemy into four levels: lower, middle, upper, and Supreme.

Supreme Alchemy is a gift from the Deity. When this Alchemy is simplified or weakened, it becomes superior. Superior alchemy is simplified into intermediate alchemy, and intermediate alchemy is further simplified into inferior alchemy.

Of course, many Advanced Alchemy were not simplified but created directly.

Lower-level Alchemy and a small portion of intermediate-level Alchemy are available for all of the company's researchers to study at will. Lower-level Alchemy is also known as general Alchemy and is a component of many general "sciences and technologies."

The product development of the Three Great Corporations largely revolves around the development and utilization of these universal Alchemy.

Almost without exception, most advanced and intermediate Alchemy are exclusive to Noble families.

As for the Supreme Alchemy, there are currently nine in the City That City That Never Sleeps... Only Royal Nobles are qualified and capable of passing it down from generation to generation, and a few exceptional members are allowed to practice and use it, but it is absolutely forbidden to spread it outside.

These nine Alchemy, along with more than twenty self-created Advanced Alchemy, constitute the intricate and diverse Alchemy system of the entire City That Never Sleeps.

The Alchemy that Paris used could not possibly be the Supreme Alchemy, but it should still be an extremely precious and powerful intermediate or advanced level.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Paris lowered his voice.

"It's a superior, and not Supreme simplified version of the Supreme, but an 'original superior'."

Hearing Paris say this, Lin Yu understood the preciousness of this thing.

"I understand that... but this isn't as simple as just taking someone in to steal something, is it? There must be other risks involved, right?"

Paris nodded. "There is a risk, but don't worry, I won't cheat you... You can talk to the person you're going to bring in yourself!"

As he spoke, he looked at Stiller.

"Bring the person over here."

"Clear."

Stiller nodded slightly, then turned and walked out of the office.

Soon, Stiller brought in another person.

Lin Yu looked at the person who walked in, and the person who walked in also looked at Lin Yu, both showing a surprised expression.

"Sherlock?"

The red-haired woman stood with her hands on her hips, a look of surprise on her face.

Lin Yu nodded in greeting to the other person. "Oh, sir, I didn't expect it to be you."

Then, the two of them looked at President Paris at the same time.

"So this is the reliable inside man you were talking about, Sherlock?" The red-haired woman gestured with her thumb in Lin Yu's direction. "Is he really reliable?"

"How could it be unreliable? This is a big favorite of Nightless Sky Huo Le City, and we have a very close personal relationship—we're sworn brothers!"

President Paris stated this with absolute certainty.

That statement isn't entirely wrong... after all, he almost killed Sherlock, so they could be considered "sworn brothers."

The red-haired woman nodded with some skepticism. "Alright... Sherlock is, at least his strength is guaranteed."

Lin Yu raised his hand. "Hey, don't try to finalize this without me knowing, even though the Advanced Alchemy as payment is very tempting..."

"What, Advanced Alchemy?"

The fiery red-haired woman interrupted Lin Yu, looking at Paris with surprise. "You want to give him Advanced Alchemy? Where did you get that—what are you planning, Paris!"

Lin Yu was also quite astonished. "Didn't you know that his reward to me was Advanced Alchemy?"

President Paris sighed, "I didn't know before, but I know now..."

" For Commoner to hoard Advanced Alchemy or to trade such Alchemy is a very serious offense... No Noble will tolerate such a thing."

"At the intermediate level, we can turn a blind eye, but at the higher level... do you want the Family Head to come and talk to you personally?"

The fiery red-haired woman said in a cold voice.

President Paris raised his hands. "Spare me... I've done plenty of illegal things for the Nightless Sky Family. Wasn't I only giving you the Advanced Alchemy because of your request?"

"Your Excellency Huo Ming, there's no need to involve your mother in this matter."

Lin Yu suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute, Nightless Sky Huo Ming?"

This time, it was Lin Yu's turn to be surprised, Paris's to be astonished, and the fiery red-haired woman's turn to sigh.

"You didn't know she was Nightless Sky Huo Ming? I thought you two knew each other."

"We knew each other, but he didn't know who I was," the red-haired woman sighed, "But now he does."

Lin Yu said with great interest, "So you're Nightless Sky Huo Ming... Ha, that completely explains it!"

No wonder she said she was Oblivion by her family, and no wonder she said most people didn't know her.

Lin Yu clearly remembered that the Nightless Sky Family Head had once said that she had placed the Nightless Sky Huo Ming in the Great Wilderness... and judging from the context, it seemed that he had left at a young age.

After enduring much hardship in the Great Wilderness, she certainly didn't look like those Royal Nobles —she even had a completely different temperament from the Noble who had lived in the Inner City for a long time.

Most importantly...

"You probably didn't return to the City That Never Sleeps through the normal channels," Lin Yu said, looking at Nightless Sky Huo Ming. "The Nightless Sky Family Head probably doesn't know you've returned to the Great Wilderness, right?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Nightless Sky Huo Ming remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "Yes, but... even if this matter is exposed, Mother will just laugh it off."

"But this mission isn't like what Paris said, where someone with a slightly special identity goes to steal something. This is Nightless Sky Huo Ming going to assassinate Arter Mercury. You're really planning to screw me over big time..."

As Lin Yu was speaking, he suddenly noticed that Nightless Sky Huo Ming's expression had turned extremely ugly. He then looked at the astonished Paris and unexpectedly spoke up as well.

"Oh, so this time she's going to assassinate someone... Paris, you didn't know that, did you?"

Nightless Sky Huo Ming sighed, "Yes."

"But now, he knows."
