After Lynch finished stating his requirements, the Hanged Man immediately raised his hand, worried that someone might sabotage the deal—it was a big business.

"My friend has a Sequence 8 Beyonder Characteristic, which he obtained from a Provoker. It's worth eight hundred and fifty pounds, which I believe is a very fair price. And you have to give me twenty pounds for the trip; I need to take a boat there to pick it up."

Lynch glanced at Klein, then at Miss Justice, and noticed that they both seemed rather bewildered, meaning they weren't sure about the price either, but it shouldn't be too far off.

After all, the materials for Sequence 8 Potion are quite expensive. One Beyonder Characteristic is equivalent to two sets of materials, so 850 pounds should be manageable, right?

Although Lynch felt that Mr. Hanged Man had ripped him off, it wasn't a big deal, since he could still make money off Mr. Hanged Man later.

"Okay, I'll go back and get the money. Once I get it, can I transfer the money to your account as well?"

He looked at the Hanged Man.

The Hanged Man was overjoyed. The Beyonder Characteristic was his own, which meant he could get all the money, making him feel much better.

"This is my account information. You can memorize it quickly so you can save it to me when we get back."

The Mr. Hanged Man materialized his account information and then delivered it to Lynch through the Fool.

Just as Lynch was about to take a look, he heard Klein tap the table and say in a nonchalant voice, "You don't need to memorize it. Once you leave Sefirah Castle, you can try asking me, and you'll get this information."

Lynch pretended to hesitate for two seconds before immediately giving up on memorizing the account information of the Hanged Man.

"Thanks you."

He said it half-heartedly.

Klein shook his head with amusement. Lynch was probably thinking badly about him in his heart, and his thanks were definitely not sincere.

But that was enough. He felt a little relieved that he didn't have to watch Lynch openly oppose him.

After all, if a member keeps opposing Mr. Fool and he doesn't punish him, it will definitely diminish Fool's authority.

But he couldn't bring himself to punish Lynch. The guy just disliked the evil god; he hadn't committed any serious crime. He personally felt that Lin Qi was forgivable.

So Klein was really conflicted about Lynch. Fortunately, Lynch had finally realized his own attitude and was willing, no, at least outwardly, to show some respect for Mr. Fool.

"I only offered you a trivial favor."

He said, pretending not to care.

"Thank you very much."

Lynch was much more sincere this time. Klein could have waited until he had memorized it before saying these things, but he still reminded him before he had memorized it, which was enough to show the brotherhood between the two.

Klein chuckled inwardly, thinking that this guy still knew what was good for him.

However, he didn't want to get entangled with Lynch here, worried that Lin Qi might discover something, so he simply waved his hand and prepared to move on to the next step.

But before he could speak, Little Sun quickly raised his hand.

Does anyone have the recipe for the Sun Pathway Bard's Potion?

I have it, I'll give it to you now.

Lynch looked at him.

He knows the Sun has a lot of information and knowledge, so exchanging this with him is useless. But perhaps he could get the Sun to give him some Potion recipes, and then use that to exchange for credit with the team.

Although he knew a lot, Little Sun clearly had nothing left to exchange.

Of course, other forms of exchange are also acceptable.

However, he didn't directly ask Little Sun for payment, believing that Miss Justice and Mr. Fool wouldn't let him suffer a loss.

Sure enough, Miss Justice quickly looked at Little Sun.

"What can you offer Mr. Power in exchange? Sequence 9 Potion recipe can be exchanged for two hundred pounds outside."

Little Sun quickly sat up straight. He had already discovered from the two Tarot Club that this Mr. Power was very powerful and knew a lot, so if he said he had Potion recipe, then he really did.

"I have two corrupted Secrets Suppliant Sequence 9 Beyonder Characteristic. I wonder if we can exchange them?"

Lynch looked at him in surprise. This child had Beyonder Characteristic, and even two of them?

Perhaps it was left by his parents?

"Sure, but only one is needed."

Lynch didn't care what he got from Little Sun. He didn't have any money anyway, so he figured it was a good deal. Besides, he might get some extraordinary items that could remove pollution later, and he could sell them for their Beyonder Characteristic. He wouldn't lose out at all.

Thank you so much!

Little Sun expressed his gratitude.

Most Beyonder Characteristic become devalued when contaminated, but this Mr. Power doesn't seem to care at all.

"It's alright, I only need to contribute one formula."

This recipe was actually taken from the original work; I hardly had to pay for it.

Lynch casually wrote the recipe down on a piece of paper, and then Klein gave the recipe to Little Sun after doing some divination.

"Thanks you!"

Little Sun spoke again.

He held the formula and looked at it for a long time before happily putting the paper down.

Lynch didn't care; he turned to look at Mr. Fool.

I got another page of the diary.

Klein nodded; this was his deal with Catlin.

"Mr. Fool, I also received two pages of the diary."

Miss Justice quickly said.

She materialized her diary and also wrote down the books she needed for the exam for Mr. Power, worried that he might forget.

Klein glanced at the books for the exam before turning his attention to the diary. As usual, he started with Roselle's Diary.

On the first page, Roselle wrote that the church no longer provided recipes for Potion to High Sequence members, but only gave them the Potion, which puzzled him.

Klein felt nauseous, suspecting that the church was giving its members Potion made with ingredients possessing Beyonder Characteristic.

The Potion seems to be really a bit strange.

On the second page of his diary, Roselle believed that the Industrial Revolution he had initiated would become a breeding ground for evil gods.

Klein couldn't guess the reason for this, so he could only look at the diary written by Stephanie, the senior colleague, which Mr. Catlin had provided.

"On September 7th, I slept with a handsome gentleman from Loen!"

One sentence nearly made Klein's eyes pop out.

My body, which had been sitting steadily, almost slipped off.

If he hadn't known he was Mr. Fool and couldn't afford to lose face in front of his fellow members, he would have jumped up in shock.

He took a breath. No, senior!

Do you remember that you are a woman?

No wonder this senior told him in his last diary entry not to circulate it; look how frankly he wrote it!

He had guessed that the woman might write a lot of private things in her diary, but he never thought that she would write down such private matters.

Most importantly, Mr. Catlin even showed it to him. I really hope that when that Stephanie is found, she won't kill him to silence him.

Really, this senior is nothing like the pitiful, shy young girl she described herself to be!
