Chapter One Hundred Ninety-FiveKlein, “Lockpicking Expert” After taking several seconds to recover, Klein activated spirit vision and looked around the room. Beneath the crimson moonlight, Madam Sharon’s bedroom appeared luxurious and gorgeous. Thick carpets. Broad space. A velvet quilt cover. A dressing table crowded with all sorts of skin-care and cosmetic products. Jewelry and ornaments shining with different lights. A half-open walk-in closet. Light clothing and garter stockings casually…-

Chapter One Hundred Ninety-FourInfiltration “Madam Sharon?” Dunn clearly recognized the widow of the late Baron Hoy—Tingen City’s most famous socialite. Madam Maynard turned her head and glanced at the thin lady who had accompanied her to Blackthorn Security Company, but did not speak herself. The thin lady, likewise dressed in a black gown and black hat, considered for a moment before saying, “Yes. Madam Sharon, the wife of the deceased old baron of the Hoy family.…

Chapter One Hundred Ninety-ThreeComing to a Close The news about Qilangos was not long. It merely explained the time, location, people involved, and result. As the saying went, the shorter the report, the larger the matter. Something that happened around eight or nine last night in the capital, Backlund, had already been exposed in Tingen’s newspapers this morning. The speed of information exchange in this world was not especially slow. This was all thanks to Emperor Roselle’s outstanding…

Chapter One Hundred Ninety-TwoTaken Seriously Audrey’s eyes shifted lightly as her thoughts spread outward, analyzing many things in a flash. Mr. Hanged Man had once described Qilangos as a lone wolf who trusted no one. Only he himself should have known his plan of action. Aside from her discovering it in advance, no one should have known that he would attempt an assassination tonight… She had only told two people that Baron Gramir might be Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilangos in disguise: her…

Chapter One Hundred Ninety-OneMotive Unknown Passing through the woods and crossing the artificial lake, Qilangos shook off the pursuers behind him with the help of the wind. He looked around, intending to create the false impression that he had slipped into a water channel and escaped into the Tussock River, then turn and rush into Backlund’s economic center: Hillston Borough. Just then, his vision suddenly blurred, and he saw the colors within the darkness become exceptionally rich. The…

Chapter One Hundred NinetyThe Combination of Abilities Duke Negan’s residence. The ballroom. Disguised as Baron Gramir, Qilangos held a glass of blood-red Aurmir wine and stood leisurely behind the railing of the second-floor gallery, admiring the men and women in the dance hall, admiring the richly dressed young ladies and madams. Yet there was not the slightest desire in his eyes. They were calm as a frozen lake. Only occasionally did he glance from the corner of his eye at the enormous…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-NinePrayer and Response Tingen City, Daffodil Street. Klein was discussing the recently popular play with his elder brother Benson and younger sister Melissa, sincerely inviting them to go to the Grand Theater next Sunday evening to watch it. “I believe the newspapers have already said enough. The Return of the Count is definitely a play worth seeing in person. It has already been performed dozens of times in Backlund, each show completely sold out. I do not think we…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-EightThe Ball A firm, high bridge of the nose. Sparse eyebrows. Cheeks that sagged slightly. Pale blue eyes… Qilangos looked at himself in the mirror, examining the reflection up and down several times and confirming there was no difference whatsoever between himself and the unconscious man. After imitating several of the other man’s habitual gestures, he bent, dragged the man on the floor to the side, and stuffed him into the wardrobe. Then he extended his right…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-SevenAzik’s Warning The sheer presence of the “messenger” shocked Klein for five full seconds before he recovered and bent to pick up the paper. “Even if Mr. Azik is unable to use most of his Beyonder abilities because of his amnesia, just sending out this messenger should be enough to deal with Sequence 7, perhaps even Sequence 6 Beyonders, right?” His mind reflected his own astonished and envious expression. He did not hurry to unfold the paper, instead…

Chapter One Hundred Eighty-SixThe Dashing Captain Countless glimmers of light rushed toward him. The chaos of a million people all uttering different ravings at once poured into his ears, yet Klein paid none of it any attention. The Clown’s ability told him that his Spirit Body was being covered, little by little, by a rapidly swelling, spreading shadow. That shadow was an enormous cross. Upon it, someone seemed to be hanging upside down. Crack! The chaotic, terrifying storm of thoughts all…
