Dodge!!
Majeri cried out inwardly, his body straining to dodge to the side.
But the next second, he heard a calm command:
"Stand still."
The shell-shaped necklace on his opponent's chest glimmered. For some reason, Majeri lost focus for an instant at this critical moment.
Squelch-!!
Blood splashed across the wall like ink.
A head sailed down, Majeri's horrified expression still visible as it tumbled.
Thud!
The headless corpse collapsed limply.
[Killed History and Ritual Society member Majeri (Gentleman) [Sequence 8-Historian] (Earth Faction). Gained 3,000 EXP!] [Your favorability with the History and Ritual Society has decreased! Current standing: loathing!]
Chen Lun walked into the room unhurriedly and closed the door behind him.
He first inspected the room, found no hidden contingencies, then picked up the plea for help Gentleman had written. After opening it and giving it a cursory glance, he burned it to ashes.
Only then did he begin gathering his spoils.
Gentleman's Silver Flask and silver cane, a green bookmark, a tennis-ball-shaped artificial [Mysterious Object], three portions of Low-Sequence Mysterious Substance, and over a hundred Gold Pounds.
Chen Lun could only marvel!
Though that fellow Gentleman was a little devious, he was actually a generous man... So wealthy, yet he still remembered to deliver a package to Chen Lun.
Chen Lun had originally planned to follow him after the society gathering, but the rat tracking him had been crushed underfoot.
Now the man had delivered himself to his doorstep. Who knew what he was thinking?
[Philip's relic obtained. Hidden C-Rank Mission completed: Philip's Legacy!] [Mission reward received: You already have it. What other reward do you want?]
"??"
Chen Lun looked utterly baffled.

After killing Gentleman, Chen Lun did not linger in that dormitory building.
