A few days later.

Sonia Sea, Bayam, the "Generous City," inside the Intis Consulate.

Helene Sauron stood before the Mirror, making her final preparations before leaving.

Actually, she was supposed to have returned to Intis by ship two days ago, but her departure date unexpectedly coincided with the attack by the [Blood Bishop]. On that day, the entire port was covered by fierce artillery fire, and the notorious villain wanted by the Loen Kingdom wreaked havoc in the city. She could only hide in her room at the consulate, praying for her safety.

After the Blood Bishop left, the Sea King's Wrath was equally terrifying, and with Bayam needing to recover, Helene's return home was repeatedly postponed.

Fortunately, everything is finally back on track, and she is about to leave.

This descendant of the former Intis royal family disguised himself in front of the Mirror, altering his facial features, wrapping his chest, and donning men's clothing—a white shirt, a black vest, men's trousers, and a double-breasted suit.

Finally, she put on a hat to cover her shining red hair. The beautiful lady in the Mirror had transformed into a dashing and handsome man, still quite striking, but completely different from his previous appearance.

Helene Sauron waited patiently for a while until someone knocked on the door before she came out with her luggage.

The person knocking on the door was a good friend of an elder in Helene's family. It was thanks to this person's help that she was able to hide in the Intis consulate for so long.

Guided by this person, she arrived at the side gate of the consulate Garden and boarded a carriage bound for the port. From there, she would board a passenger ship to Pritz Harbor in the Loen Kingdom, and then return to her homeland, Intis, by land.

Helene glanced at the coachman, who had the face of a local aboriginal. Sensing her gaze, he could only offer a fawning smile. Relying on her Sequence 9 "Hunter's " counter-surveillance instincts, she examined the coachman and, after confirming he was alright, thanked her family elder's friend, boarded the carriage, and left.

The carriage traveled smoothly until it suddenly veered off the main road and turned into a quiet, deserted alley.

"!"

Helene immediately sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to escape the carriage, she suddenly felt a deadly danger, as if she were being watched by a starving Monster and could be devoured at any moment.

Overwhelmed by fear, she lost all Courage; her body stiffened, unable to move, as she watched helplessly as the driver left the driver's seat and turned to get into the carriage.

"Brush!"

The driver wiped his face, and the local native's face instantly changed, transforming into that of a man from the Northern Continent. His face was cold and gaunt, exuding an extremely imposing aura.

I've finally caught you!

Klein "Faceless," was thrilled, but to Acting his aloof demeanor, he looked the woman up and down under her wary and fearful gaze.

What do you want to do?

Although Helene was afraid, she still spoke up. Klein's gaze made her very uncomfortable, not in a sexual sense, but on a survival instinct level.

Cooperate with me, and I'll let you leave alive.

Klein maintained his composure, speaking coldly and inquiring about information regarding the "Vice Admiral of Ailment."

Helene Sauron was reluctant to recall that name, but under Klein's heavy pressure, she confessed honestly, including Tracy's Beyonder Ability, the Mystical Item she possessed, and her personality and habits.

Tracy didn't let her know the details of the Demoness Sect and human trafficking.

"And you, how did you get into a relationship with her?"

Klein looked at her and asked.

"We don't have much of a relationship!"

Helene tried to speak, but her face had already turned red.

It turns out she was a former member of the Intis royal family. Due to her family's bankruptcy, she became an Extraordinary under the arrangement of her elders and went to sea to make money through trade. During this process, she was captured by Tracy was still a "Ailment Maiden" at the time, and became her possession. She had a period of intoxication and depravity, pain and entanglement.

Tsk tsk, a domineering pirate and a pure, innocent noblewoman.

Klein internally criticized her a lot, but when he spoke, he maintained his persona, which made him realize the difference between his true self and the persona he presented. After that, he went further and began to ask Helene about herself, observing her in great detail, from her daily preferences to her verbal tics and habitual actions.

--This was so that I could better impersonate Helene.

That's right, Klein plans to disguise himself as "Red-haired Helene," pretend to be captured, and sent to "Vice Admiral of Ailment's" ship. Doing so will not only ensure that he finds Tracy, but will also help him Acting "Faceless" and digest the Potion.

Helene grew increasingly frightened, feeling a sense of impending replacement. This fear intensified, especially after she was forced to remove her makeup and reveal her true face.

"Stretch out your arm."

At the end of the questioning, Klein took out a syringe from his pocket and said, "This is a request from Luther. He needs to collect a vial of the other person's blood, but he hasn't specified what it's for."

"Boom!"

Helene Sauron could no longer bear it. She stomped her feet on the carriage floor and charged to one side. She wanted to smash through the carriage and escape!

"Snap!"

Her extraordinary abilities greatly enhanced her physical prowess; the carriage walls offered no resistance, and she easily vaulted onto the street, shaking off the cold-faced man's pursuit. She then disappeared into the crowd and escaped successfully.

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her arm, as if she had been pricked by a needle.

What happened?

Helene opened her eyes abruptly and found herself still in the carriage. Her arm was being held by the other person, her sleeve pulled up above her elbow, and a syringe was inserted into her elbow, the drawn blood almost filling the tube.

The scene of my successful escape just now was actually just a Dream.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Klein calmly withdrew the needle, a glint of sharp white teeth flashing beneath his thin, human-skin gloves. He handed Helene a ship ticket and a stack of papers. "This is your new identification and a ticket to Tiana Harbor. From there, go to Pritz Harbor."

Helene was surprised that the other party would actually let her go. Despite her astonishment, she cautiously and carefully accepted the ticket and documents before stepping down from the carriage.

Klein wasn't idle either. He quickly summoned a messenger, wrote a letter to Luther informing him of his impending action, and also placed the vial of blood into an envelope.

"Again." "Sent to." "That." "Monster Who Raises Cats?"

The tall messenger Reinette Tinekerr, took the Coin and envelope and asked...

Monster Who Raises Cats?

Klein paused for a second or two before realizing that the other person was probably referring to Luther.

The Miss Messenger gives people nicknames? No, this nickname is a bit strange. Why is her focus on raising cats, and why is she so rude as to call Luther a "Monster"?

Coming to his senses, Klein immediately said seriously, "Never call him that to his face."

Otherwise, given Mr. Temperance's bad temper, who knows how he might treat you.
