Justice Audrey Is Puzzled

What a rich woman, capable of revitalizing the Tarot Club's economy single-handedly. I can kind of see why Huang Jiajia was so dazzled.

Luo Lin silently withdrew his gaze, teasing himself inwardly. Then, Fors took the initiative to introduce them.

"This is Xiu... and this is the gentleman I mentioned, who comes from an ancient family and is incredibly knowledgeable."

Audrey greeted Xiu first, then her gaze fell upon Luo Lin. She was clearly very interested in the "ancient family" that Fors had spoken of, and said with a smile, "Hello, sir. How should I address you?"

While greeting him, Audrey instinctively entered her Audience state, beginning to observe the young man before her.

He possessed good looks no less than her own. His background might not be exceptionally high, but it was definitely not low. He had received a good education, didn't smoke, but likely understood some form of combat... Hmm, he didn't seem like a complicated person. Perhaps his personality was rather straightforward?

"Miss Audrey, there's no need for formalities. You can just call me Jack." Luo Lin replied with a smile. As a qualified Troublemaker, he had naturally already entered his acting state and used his Troublemaker abilities to control his emotions, lest the Audience see through his facade.

"Alright, Mr. Jack." Audrey nodded, accepting his suggestion gracefully.

Viscount Glaint also greeted the two before eagerly asking, "Are we going to the gathering of Beyonders next?"

Seeing his eagerness, the group naturally didn't delay. They soon boarded a carriage and arrived at the designated location – the place where Mr. A was hosting the party.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps the inevitability of fate, but even though the time and place of their meeting were different from the original story, Xiu still brought Audrey and Viscount Glaint to Mr. A's gathering.

The process that followed was similar to Luo Lin's previous attendance at a gathering. After the group sat down in a corner, Xiu looked at Audrey and Viscount Glaint and asked, "Have you decided which Sequence 9 formulas you each want?"

Viscount Glaint unhesitatingly gave the answer "Apothecary." This had always been his goal, and it had never changed.

Audrey, after pretending to think for a moment, said, "I want to become an Audience. If possible, I also hope to purchase the follow-up Mind Reader potion formula for the Audience pathway."

"Audience?" Luo Lin chimed in at this opportune moment. He looked at Audrey and said, "I have the Audience potion formula, and also the follow-up Mind Reader potion formula. Do you want to buy them?"

Luo Lin naturally wouldn't refuse the opportunity to fleece a rich woman.

He was also short on money.

"Really?" Even Audrey felt a genuine surge of surprise at this moment. After all, she didn't have the follow-up Mind Reader potion formula yet. She quickly said, "Please sell it to me. How many pounds are you asking for?"

"600 pounds." Although Luo Lin wanted to fleece Audrey, he didn't want to lose the bigger picture, so he quoted a reasonable price.

After all, he wouldn't be expending any effort.

"Deal. Thank you, Mr. Jack." Audrey, being the rich woman she was, didn't haggle. The two then completed the transaction at lightning speed.

"Jack, how many potion formulas do you actually know?" Xiu, who had witnessed their transaction, was truly envious and couldn't help but ask.

"That depends on how much is recorded in my ancestor's notes," Luo Lin replied with a smile.

"That's truly enviable." Seeing that Audrey had quickly bought what she wanted, Viscount Glaint couldn't help but show an envious expression. He looked at Luo Lin and asked, "Mr. Jack, do you have the Apothecary potion formula?"

"Apothecary..." Luo Lin put on a reminiscent expression, then shook his head with a hint of apology. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Glaint, I don't have the complete Apothecary potion formula. However, I know what the main ingredient for the Apothecary potion is. Do you need it?"

"I do. How much do you want for it?" Viscount Glaint nodded almost without hesitation. Knowing the main ingredient of the Apothecary potion in advance, while it wouldn't allow him to immediately concoct the potion and become an Apothecary, would allow Viscount Glaint to collect the materials in advance. This way, once he obtained the complete target formula, he could advance as quickly as possible.

"Then, 100 pounds?" Luo Lin quoted a price. A complete Sequence 9 potion formula usually cost around 200 pounds. Selling the version with just the main ingredient for 100 pounds was perfectly reasonable.

"No problem. You're a fair person." Although Viscount Glaint wasn't as wealthy as Audrey, he didn't mind parting with 100 pounds.

And so, another transaction was completed at lightning speed, leaving Xiu and Fors beside them envious.

It seems this Mr. Jack truly knows many potion formulas. I wonder which ancient family he comes from... Audrey subconsciously speculated about Luo Lin's background in her mind. After thinking for a moment, she curiously asked, "Mr. Jack, is your family one of those legendary ancient families that have been passed down since the Fourth Epoch?"

"Actually, I don't know much about that aspect. After all, my family is considered to have declined. However, there are indeed some records about the Fourth Epoch in our family's ancient texts." Luo Lin showed a hint of helplessness and disappointment when he said this.

"I'm sorry..." Audrey said apologetically. She could tell that he was genuinely feeling down.

"It's alright, it's not something that can't be spoken of." Luo Lin shook his head.

Fors then appropriately changed the subject. "Jack, is there anything you're looking to buy this time?"

"I don't have anything specific I want to buy recently..." Luo Lin shook his head, then seemed to recall something. "However, I plan to inquire about The Fool. Given the scale of this gathering, I might gain some insights."

Audrey, who had been in her Audience state, almost lost it upon hearing Luo Lin's words.

But as a noble lady who was always active in various social settings, Audrey clearly had excellent control over her expressions. Thus, she managed to maintain her composure, only showing a slight hint of curiosity as she asked, "The Fool? What is that? Are you talking about Tarot cards?"

"No, the Fool I'm referring to is a mysterious existence." Luo Lin shook his head. At this moment, he could be said to have displayed his acting skills to the fullest, and he used the abilities of the Troublemaker potion to control his emotions, ensuring no flaws were revealed. "This is also nothing that can't be said..."

He then repeated the same explanation he had given to Xiu and Fors, but changed the part about curses to "my ancestor was related to The Fool." Finally, Luo Lin put on a worried expression:

"Actually, I wasn't in a hurry to inquire about The Fool, but I have a friend who seems to have gotten directly involved with that Fool. This makes me a bit worried..."

The friend mentioned here naturally referred to Klein himself, The Fool.
