First Meeting with Hugh Dillchar

Chapter 7: First Meeting with Hugh Dillchar

While Leonard was outside getting eaten by mosquitoes, Klein was in the rented room doing his best to act like an ordinary person in danger.

Speaking of which, Klein was truly unlucky. The former Zhou Mingrui, at the crack of dawn today, closed his eyes and opened them to find himself "transmigrated." He had even transmigrated into a young man with a "wild imagination."

After his "imagination" finally settled down, Klein digested the original owner's fragmented memories and saw his sister off to school. Eager to go home, Klein used the black bread he had just bought to perform a ritual that seemed to be the cause of his transmigration, hoping to return home. However, he didn't succeed in returning home but instead entered a mysterious place above the gray fog.

Above the gray fog, Klein unexpectedly summoned two other people. After a conversation, Klein successfully established a powerful persona by pretending to be a god, creating an alias called "The Fool," and together with the other two, they established the Tarot Club above the gray fog.

After the meeting finally concluded, Klein sent the two away and took a nap due to his depleted spirituality. As soon as he woke up, the police were at his door.

It was then that Klein learned that the original owner had been involved in a black divination incident. The other two people involved in this incident had already committed suicide, and only he was still "alive," which was why he was under special scrutiny.

Unfortunately, Klein's inherited memories from the original owner contained no information about this divination. He also knew very well that the original owner hadn't committed suicide; rather, his transmigration had made "Klein Moretti" appear to be alive.

However, Klein obviously couldn't tell anyone about his transmigration or his resurrection. Therefore, he could only use his words to express his innocence as much as possible and act like an ordinary person after Dunn and the others left.

Otherwise, if he appeared too calm or revealed his knowledge of extraordinary powers, Klein truly feared being arrested as a criminal. In the Tarot Club meeting that had just ended, Klein had happened to hear the other two mention some knowledge about extraordinary powers and knew that there were official extraordinary organizations.

In fact, Klein strongly suspected that some of the people who had come to question him might be official Beyonders.

"I hope I don't become a jailbird right after transmigrating, that would be too torturous," Klein grumbled inwardly, then tried to recall the original owner's memories regarding this matter, but still came up empty.

He couldn't remember how the original owner committed suicide or what role he played in this black divination incident.

Backlund, East District, Dalavi Street, inside a lively little bar.

Luo Lin frowned at the smell of cheap alcohol in the air. His gaze swept over the other patrons in the bar, finally finding his target at the bar counter.

Luo Lin skillfully navigated through the crowd and arrived at the counter. He looked at the young man drinking in front of him. The man was in his twenties, with a long, thin face, messy eyebrows, but relatively soft features, much like the description in the original work.

Williams, a half-hearted information broker, had some connections with several gangs in the East District.

However, Luo Lin wasn't here to deal with gang matters. It was because this information broker was quite familiar with Hugh.

"Williams, I need to talk to you," Luo Lin said, his voice not loud, barely noticeable in the noisy bar, but it struck Williams like thunder.

"Who are you?" Williams asked, confusion evident on his face after he saw who was approaching him.

"You can call me Jack Jones," Luo Lin replied with a straight face, then got straight to the point. "You should know Miss Hugh, the bounty hunter, right? I have something I want to commission her for. Because it's quite important, I hope to meet her and discuss it in person."

Luo Lin wasn't worried that this sudden request would arouse suspicion. After all, Hugh was indeed a well-known bounty hunter in the East District. Even when "Luo Lin Soroyastor" lived in the East District, he had heard of her reputation, so it was very normal to seek her out for a commission.

"You're looking for Hugh?" Williams glanced at Luo Lin, not surprised. He took a sip of his drink, seemingly pondering for a few seconds, then said, "I'll tell Hugh about this. Come back tomorrow around this time. If she's willing to see you, you'll see her here. But I can't guarantee it."

"And whether you see her or not, you have to pay me the intermediary fee," Williams said, making a gesture for money.

Luo Lin wasn't surprised by this. He took a one-pound note from his pocket and handed it to Williams. "If I get to see Hugh, I can give you another pound."

"Generous kid," Williams said, taking the money. He didn't bother to hide it from Luo Lin and checked its authenticity on the spot before happily pocketing it.

One pound, two pounds, were not significant amounts for Williams. But just for notifying Hugh, he could get this money, which was almost like picking it up for free, so he was naturally happy.

Luo Lin smiled at this, said nothing, and turned to leave.

He still had to go to Backlund University to prepare for his false identity.

Williams watched Luo Lin's retreating figure, his eyes filled with thought.

"Could it be about those mysterious matters?"

As an information broker, Williams was not entirely ignorant of the Beyonder realm. He had some contact with lower-level Beyonders and roughly knew that Hugh might be one of the legendary Beyonders. There were also several people over the years who wanted to enter the Beyonder circle through Hugh.

However, Williams didn't know if those people had become Beyonders like Hugh. He didn't have much yearning for it either and just wanted to continue his current life.

The next day, Dalavi Street Bar.

When Luo Lin arrived at the bar as scheduled, he indeed saw a certain lady at the bar counter.

"Hello, Ms. Hugh," Luo Lin stepped forward and greeted her, while also sizing her up.

The girl in front of him was less than 1.5 meters tall, with a head of messy yellow hair and delicate features. She wore clothes that allowed for easy movement. Just standing there, she exuded an indescribable aura of authority.

Hugh Dillchar, Sequence 9 Arbiter, the future Lady of the Tarot Club, and Fors's good friend.

The reason Luo Lin specifically came to meet Hugh was simple. On one hand, he planned to integrate into Backlund's Beyonder circle through Hugh and Fors, attending various Beyonder gatherings. On the other hand, it was to lay the groundwork for joining the Tarot Club later.

Since he had arrived in the Lord of the Mysteries world, Luo Lin naturally wouldn't miss the legendary Tarot Club. From a benefit perspective, the Tarot Club was an excellent channel, offering various high-end products and information, making it convenient for both buying and selling. Moreover, its members were all potential Beyonders, future powerhouses, and worth befriending.

From an entertainment perspective, Luo Lin had already prepared his diary. If he didn't witness the scene of The Fool reading his diary in person or find an opportunity to tease The Fool, how could he justify himself?
