Klein had dealt with the letter Lanevus had left behind. Now he sat at the reception desk, silently waiting for Miss Megose to arrive.
Lanevus, her fiancé, had deceived Megose and performed an evil ritual on her body, turning her into a vessel for the birth of the Evil God's Brood.
And now, as Ince Zangwill had planned, Megose was about to arrive at the Tingen City headquarters of the Night's Watchers—the Blackthorn Security Company.
Then Tingen would explode!
That would lay the perfect groundwork for Ince Zangwill to seize Saint Selena's ashes, complete his ritual, and advance to Sequence 4 as a Demigod.
As for why Klein knew all this, yet had still let Lanevus escape and allowed Megose to become the vessel for the Evil God's Brood...
He could not resist the power of fate wielded by that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, "008."
Klein was confident that if Ince Zangwill appeared before him once he became a Faceless, he could blast the man's head apart with True Qi.
Even now, while he was still a Sequence 7 Magician, it was hard to say who would win if the two of them fought.
That was assuming Ince Zangwill did not use that Grade 0 Sealed Artifact. "008" was too high-level, and its power was too unusual. It bore the traits of fate, something Klein could not ignore at present.
Klein was not only a Magician. He was also an Aperture Opening expert of the Lifetime Method, having cultivated the Foundation Establishment, Qi Accumulation, and Aperture Opening chapters of the Peerless Divine Art—the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art!
Klein had once quietly declared that, in the Mysterious World, he was number one under heaven in Martial Arts!
If Meng Chuan heard Klein's bold claim, he would surely weep with joy, tears streaming
