Lynch was unaware that Miss Justice was going to pretend to be a kind person and give him money; he was listening to the Hanged Man explain his demands.

"I've received word that someone calling himself Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingus has arrived in Backlund. I need your help to find him, and of course, killing him would be even better."

Lynch shook his head.

"I'm not in Backlund, so I can't help you with your affairs Backlund. But if you want to kill Qilingus, I might be able to get my Family Elder to help, it just depends on what you're willing to give up."

Mr. Hanged Man suddenly turned his head to look at Lynch.

This task was originally assigned to Miss Justice; killing Qilingus was meant to appease the Fool. However, he didn't expect that Lynch would be able to persuade his Family Elder to help.

"The Vice Admiral Hurricane is Sailor Sequence 6 Wind-blessed, and there's also a Sealed Artifact called Creeping Hunger. Qilingus himself was just an ordinary Wind-blessed, but we later discovered he can drive his target Frenzy, enter other people's dreams, and... well, all thanks to this Mystical Item. So you need to make sure your elders can handle him."

"Mr. Hanged Man said tentatively."

With its Creeping Hunger, Qilingus, below the level of a demigod, could easily escape.

However, Lynch didn't pay any attention to it.

"Don't worry, my elder can at least exert the abilities of a demigod, and he will continue to recover."

Lynch said casually.

The Tarot Club all sat up straight, even Mr. Fool stared in astonishment.

He guessed that Lynch was referring to Mr. Azik, but he hadn't expected Mr. Azik to be so powerful.

At least a demigod, or even more powerful.

Fortunately, he didn't report Mr. Azik to the church, otherwise he would be dead now, hacked to pieces by Mr. Azik.

But is Mr. Azik actually Catlin?

The stronger Mr. Azik became, the more Klein worried that he was Mr. Catlin.

Just as Klein was struggling with this decision, Miss Justice and the others also considered this possibility.

Still Miss Justice.

She asked out of curiosity.

"Mr. Power, was it this elder who introduced you to the Tarot Club?"

Good question!

Klein couldn't help but cheer, and then pricked up his ears to listen to Lynch's answer.

Lynch thought about it, and he did consider hinting to Klein that Mr. Azik was Mr. Catlin.

But he was also worried that if Klein went to test the waters himself, he might give himself away.

So he shook his head.

"No, I only just learned about this elder myself. I've known Mr. Catlin for a long time. Mr. Catlin can't come out; he lives in one place and can only send me a letter occasionally."

He gave a brief explanation, which put Klein at ease.

If Lynch is right, then Mr. Catlin did not come out, and Mr. Azik is no longer a suspect.

However, we can't be certain yet. What if Catlin was lying to Lynch?

Klein sighed inwardly. He really needed to become stronger, so that he might be able to threaten Mr. Catlin into not teaching Lynch Chinese.

Yes, we'll use that senior's diary.

If Mr. Catlin dared to teach Lynch Chinese, he would dare to distribute that senior's diary.

Come on, let's hurt each other!

Klein hardened his heart.

However, considering that he hadn't taken the Clown Potion yet, he could only sigh helplessly.

Hopefully, Mr. Catlin won't let Lynch know anything right now; he doesn't want to be exposed in front of Lynch at all.

"What you just called 'Creeping Hunger' sounds a bit like Shepherd to me!"

Just as Klein's mind was in turmoil, Mr. Sun quickly spoke up.

Lynch nodded.

"Yes, Sequence 5 of the Secrets Suppliant Pathway is the Shepherd, the Creeping Hunger, which was likely created using the Shepherd's Beyonder Characteristic."

"Beyonder Characteristic?"

Miss Justice asked again.

Lynch thought for a moment and said, "When Beyonder die, they all release Beyonder Characteristic. These Beyonder Characteristic can be used by Artisan to create extraordinary items, and can also be used as materials for Advancement."

Everyone in the Tarot Club except for Little Sun took a breath.

They all considered one possibility.

If that's the case, then the extraordinary items they used all represented the lives of Beyonder.

"Mr. Power, I think you should take some payment; this is definitely worth five hundred pounds!"

Miss Justice reminded her.

After being shocked by the news, she thought that she couldn't let Mr. Power suffer a loss, since he had been generously telling everyone about these things.

"This..."

Lynch opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, Miss Justice cheerfully said, "Alright, we'll each give you five hundred pounds, or information or items worth five hundred pounds!"

Well.

Lynch had intended to say that, but Miss Justice beat him to it.

But it didn't matter; he hoped even the Fool would give him five hundred pounds, since Mr. Fool had clearly only just learned of the news himself.

Unfortunately, Mr. Fool, with his thick skin, sat there and had no intention of paying a cent.

As for Little Sun, he said he was in the City of Silver and couldn't produce the local currency; besides, he already knew about this.

So only Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice need to pay.

Mr. Hanged Man was somewhat dissatisfied with Miss Justice.

If Miss Justice hadn't told him, he would have gotten the information for free.

But considering that Mr. Power obviously very powerful, and he also has an elder who is at least a demigod, if he keeps taking advantage of Mr. Power and that elder finds out, who knows if he might find out Mr. Fool's location and then personally demand Mr. Power's reward.

"Okay, I'll transfer five hundred pounds to your account as well!"

"The Mr. Hanged Man said helplessly."

Lynch was very satisfied. The wealthy young lady from the Tarot Club truly lived up to her reputation; she was so Justice!

He was about to say a few words of thanks to Miss Justice when Klein beat him to it.

That concludes today's gathering!

Lynch was taken aback.

That was way too fast! They only exchanged a few words before it was over?

Furthermore, he hadn't yet sold the Bard's Potion recipe to Little Sun. Although it wouldn't fetch a high price from Little Sun, he planned to have Little Sun exchange it for an extraordinary item.

However, seeing that Mr. Fool, despite trying his best to appear calm, still looked somewhat tired, he reluctantly got up to say goodbye.

Forgot, Mr. Fool already had himself absorbing energy, and now with the addition of Mr. Sun, the fact that he's been able to hold on until now is a testament to Mr. Fool's resilience.

After Lynch and the others left the Sefirah Castle, they listened to the sounds from next door and found that no one had fainted immediately. He chuckled to himself, almost grinning from ear to ear as he thought of Mr. Fool's pitiful state of having to stay in bed before he could finally faint.

Poor Mr. Fool, I hope he's alright now.
