Chapter 357: Chapter 0357: Inner Circle (3600 added, request for monthly pass)
‘As expected…I’ve been exposed…I left a trail when I recklessly broke into the high levels of the White Tower and browsed through the information about high-ranking professions.’
Su Lu couldn’t help but smirk inside. ‘I simply didn’t expect… it would be Orchi who would find out, is he paying a lot of attention to me?’
He slowly sipped his coffee, “Is your mentor, Spa, assisting you? Oh… and Andrew; was it him who told you I came out?”
“Yes, what is your decision?”
Orchi was full of confidence, “You will never know how powerful our Francis consortium is. If you offend me, you will become the most wanted criminal throughout the federation! Oh, by the way… due to the introduction of the ‘Occupational Registration Act’, we are no longer subject to regular human law, and could be executed on the spot once convicted.”
“Oh?”
Su Lu raised his eyebrow, just about to reply, when he noticed an unexpected figure walking over.
Orchi also looked at the end of the street. He spotted William, casually dressed and walking a Dachshund, appearing like an ordinary old man walking a dog.
“I believe you will give me a satisfactory response.”
On seeing this, Orchi stood up and quickly got into a carriage.
“What a wonderful day, isn’t it?”
William arrived next to Su Lu, “Young man, don’t act rashly. Orchi is now the Dominator of the telegraph company, and has a prominent position in the federation with the support of numerous members of parliament. ”
Although he didn’t hear the conversation, he knew that Su Lu must have been at a disadvantage.
“Thank you… but why are you helping me?” Su Lu looked perplexed and didn’t understand why William would want to help him.
“You were cornered here entirely due to Andrew…” William gave a bitter laugh, “Although he switched to Spa’s camp, he’s still my man…”
“Time flies so fast that even Andrew is about to enter the Inner Circle…”
Su Lu leaned back in his chair as if reminiscing about something.
“Let’s go, go far away. Maybe the Chris Empire is a good choice. The Royal University there once sent me an invitation. They are very interested in electrical talent…”
William suggested.
“Thank you, but I don’t plan on leaving.”
Su Lu shrugged.
“You…”
William sighed, turned around and left.
As far as he was concerned, he had done Su Lu a favor. As for Su Lu’s choice, it was too brash.
“Anyway, thank you, old man!”
Su Lu’s voice came from behind.
He found this stubborn, principled old man quite interesting.
“Boss… are we just going to let him go?”
Inside the carriage, Orchi’s secretary asked.
“Just let him go? Do you think it could be so simple?” Orchi scoffed, “I held onto the evidence until he showed up before revealing it, not merely to slap his disgusting face…”
Thinking of Su Lu’s face, which seemed to have become more mature and handsome, Orchi couldn’t help feeling jealous, “The situation at the White Tower was chaotic at the time. Su Lu must have taken some advantage… We not only want him to give up his dividends, profits, and shares… But also to hand over all the valuable information he has obtained… Once we’ve drained his value, we’ll send the evidence to Green Tree Castle and let it settle Su Lu for us!”
“Boss, you are so wise.”
The secretary pushed up his glasses with admiration.
This spirit of grinding up an opponent’s last bone and squeezing it dry is the true spirit of a capitalist!
Night, suburban area, inside the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle.
An intangible portal opened in the void, from which Su Lu slowly emerged. He looked towards the mist in the distance, “The Inner Circle has re-established the Enigma Lock? But the core is definitely not the Arcane Spirit any longer…”
By now, he roughly understood the value of the Arcane Spirit, which was simply like an infant form of a divine being!
Unfortunately, he didn’t qualify to join the battlefield at that time.
‘Although the Ancient Snake Society was the main force, the Federation and other powers, especially the church of the Goddess of Light, were reluctant to help, maybe they didn’t want Green Tree Castle to become too strong…’
The so-called ‘Enigma Lock’ is a comprehensive array set up by [Arcanists], covering both offense and defense.
For instance, looking at Su Lu knew that within the Enigma Lock, there must be a ‘Dimensional Lock’, as well as effects like ‘Soul Detection’ and ‘Spirit World Lock’.
“Such a pity… While the Dimensional Lock is enough, the Spirit World Lock can only reach up to the first level of Illusory Spirit Realm, and is utterly helpless against invasions at and above the Mental Realm. It was this way when the Arcane Spirit was here, now without this core, the locking ability will be even weaker.”
Su Lu took one step, his whole person disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, he was already on top of the White Tower.
The iconic building of the Inner Circle had been rebuilt, but it no longer carried the same majestic and invincible feeling as before.
“Even without the Arcane Spirit, the amount of data and documents this White Tower has collected is terrifying…”
He initially only had authority up to the fourth level, and he had forced his way to the fifth level, obtaining the fourth order profession information of [Dimensional Walker].
He had never even seen those truly valuable legendary and above data.
“Huh?”
At this moment, his inspiration was suddenly triggered, and he recognized a familiar face.
In the next moment, Su Lu appeared in an office and greeted the silver-haired, blue-eyed old man sitting in a swivel chair, “Congratulations on the promotion to the sixth seat, Professor Sleydon Watt!”
[Grand Arcanist] Sleydon Watt was so frightened that he sprung up from his chair. A terrifying arcane energy encircled him, forming layer upon layer of defence. He was clearly very startled.
It wasn’t his fault. Su Lu’s entrance was just too scary!
If the current Su Lu switched professions to be an assassin, most of the leaders and professionals would be terrified.
“You are…”
After a short silence, Sleydon Watt finally recognized Su Lu, who had not disguised himself. He was so shocked he almost lost his words.
“Su Lu Pottery? That little kid with some talent? The one who disappeared later?”
Apparently, he had some impression of Su Lu, but it was limited only to that.
Now, as Sleydon watched Su Lu, he had a feeling that even though the other party had intruded right in front of him, his surroundings seemed to be completely unaware of it, as if the person in front of him existed in a different dimension.
Feeling like he couldn’t catch hold of his target made him want to vomit blood.
“Eye of Illusion Breaking!”
Almost instinctively, Sleydon activated a small arcane.
His eyes became clear and transparent, like the purest crystal, and he looked at Su Lu again.
“This is…”
The Eye of Illusion Breaking could see through some illusions, but in Sleydon’s eyes, layers of space folded around Su Lu, emitting a lot of ripples and the faint sound of a dragon roar. On his body, numerous mysterious runes and magic symbols shimmered, each of them seemed to contain the secrets of the void and the Spirit World.
The whole person standing in front of him seemed like an ‘incarnation’ of ‘mystery’ and ‘knowledge’, giving off an extremely dangerous vibe!
“Ah!”
Next moment, it seemed as if Sleydon had seen some kind of ‘terror’. He covered his eyes with his hands, and blood seeped out through his fingers!
