Chapter 817: After modification: Chapter 511 Farewell
“Very well.”
Seeing Chen Lun agree, the King of Slaughter nodded contentedly.
“Await my secret letter, Jack… You should still have ample ti to accumulate more. I hope to witness your prowess when the ti cos.”
The black cat bowed slightly to show respect.
The next second, he felt a large, warm tongue licking him. Looking up, he saw Babu’s flattering face imdiately.
‘The King of Slaughter has left…’
Chen Lun suddenly realized.
But he was surprised that Babu had recognized him.
‘Should I say this guy is indeed a Border Collie, or is it because he’s ingested low sequence conspiracy substances twice, making him even smarter…’
Chen Lun thought to himself, leaping onto Babu’s back in one swift motion, tapping its head lazily with his paw, and commanded:
“Let’s go, let’s visit Mrs. Caroline.”
Woof!
Babu carried the black cat, darting through the shaded path.
At a glance, it looked like a black cat was riding a large dog mount, charging bravely towards so nonexistent enemy.
Under a parasol not far away, Golov, who was looking for his sunglasses, happened to see this scene. He was slightly stunned, then rubbed his eyes and muttered in astonishnt:
“A cat riding a dog?”
“What?”
Reclining on a beach chair, Maggie took a sip of iced red wine and asked puzzledly. At the sa ti, Connie, Barton, and Morey also turned their attention over.
Golov helplessly recounted what he had seen earlier, causing them to chuckle lightly.
“Perhaps it’s a mber of the Black Cat Samurai Squad.”
Connie covered her mouth and explained.
The others didn’t delve into it, agreeing with this explanation. Only Connie snickered to herself, feeling quite proud for helping Mr. Jack conceal the truth.
“Mr. Jack seems more interesting than before, as if he has let go of so big matter. His whole person has beco more relaxed…”
She mused inwardly.
A mont later.
Chen Lun pressed Babu’s head, stopping it outside the door of a large apartnt in the residential area, then shushed it, and gracefully jumped down.
Babu stuck out his tongue, squinting his eyes with a cute submissive posture.
Seeing its flattering manner, Chen Lun couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, then took out a small, grayish pellet and tossed it over.
Babu’s eyes lit up, he opened his drooling mouth and caught it precisely, then swallowed it in one gulp.
This ti, his appearance didn’t change significantly, but his presence noticeably decreased. Not only did his physical fitness improve, but unless he deliberately appeared in front of ordinary people, few would notice him.
‘Hmm, has he officially beco a supernatural creature? I rember that Sequence Nine in the Conspiracy pathway is called “Thief”, so wouldn’t Babu be a “Dog Thief”…’
Chen Lun patted his head again, praising softly:
“You are truly a good dog!”
Babu, hearing the praise, happily nudged him and spun around in place. Chen Lun then instructed him to stay outside and sneaked in himself.
In the living room, Floey was graciously entertaining Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te, serving tea and bringing out homade snacks.
“I didn’t expect little Jack to make such a na for himself in just a few years, even becoming the head of such a large chapel district in the Royal City, how impressive…”
Mrs. Caroline first expressed her thanks, then with a radiant face, she tirelessly praised. Her eyes sparkled with joy as she covered her mouth and laughed:
“In the future, I can proudly tell others that Mr. Jack of the Generous Council once rented in my apartnt.”
“Not only that, but he often ca to my bookstore to read…”
Mr. Tao Te chuckled, lifting his teacup and taking a sip.
Floey just smiled serenely, nodding in agreent.
Mrs. Caroline looked at her with a loving gaze.
“Little Floey’s eyes have also healed, such beautiful eyes… I always lanted that such a good girl had lost her sight, missing out on so much splendor.”
“It’s all thanks to my brother.”
Floey smiled and said.
However, Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te exchanged glances and chuckled. She teased:
“Actually, I have long seen that you and little Jack are not biological siblings… Don’t underestimate this old lady’s eyesight, I’ve seen too many people of all kinds my whole life.”
Floey was a bit surprised, then her cheeks turned rosy.
At this mont, Mrs. Caroline pulled Mr. Tao Te’s hand, and the two leaned on each other.
“This ti, traveling with Mr. Tao Te, we wanted to visit the Royal City to see you both, firstly to thank little Jack in person for waking Mr. Tao Te from his coma, and secondly to ask you… When will you get married?”
Floey opened her mouth but didn’t know how to answer.
A black cat suddenly jumped over and leaped into her arms.
Both Mrs. Caroline and Mr. Tao Te were startled at first, then burst into laughter, their attention imdiately shifting to the cat, and Floey took the opportunity to divert the topic, avoiding the awkward question.
The conversation between both parties was lively.
It wasn’t until evening that Mr. and Mrs. Tao Te finally bid farewell… In the previous conversation, Mrs. Caroline ntioned that Mr. Tao Te had been seriously injured while saving her, spending a year as a vegetable. This touched her deeply. Mr. Tao Te already had feelings for her, and with Mrs. Caroline taking care of him for so long, the two unattached elderly people naturally ca together, planning to spend the rest of their remaining years happily.
This trip was also considered their honeymoon trip.
At that ti, Floey extended her congratulations and even took out a bottle of Supernatural Wine brewed by Chen Lun as a gift.
“It’s a pity that we couldn’t et little Jack during this visit. We are leaving tomorrow, and I don’t know when we will et again.”
Mrs. Caroline stood at the door and expressed her regret.
Floey lowered her head without any noticeable trace, glanced at the black cat in her arms, and answered slowly:
“There will be an opportunity, Mrs. Caroline. I wish you and Mr. Tao Te a pleasant journey.”
“Thank you, little Floey.”
Mrs. Caroline embraced her warmly and whispered:
“I wish you both happiness.”
Then, she and Mr. Tao Te held hands, took Babu, and got on the carriage.
Floey held the black cat and watched the carriage depart.
“Mrs. Caroline is a good person.”
Her ethereal voice said.
“Indeed…”
The black cat lay lazily in her arms, agreeing.
Floey tilted her head slightly and asked with pursed lips:
“Can she attend our wedding?”
The black cat was slightly stunned, then rolled over.
“Ahem… of course she can.”
Hearing this answer, Floey burst out laughing, genuinely happy.

A few days later.
Central District of the Royal City.
In a luxurious noble hotel, a grand banquet was being held, hosted by Duchess Emma, to celebrate Princess Anna in her governance, relieving the Sun King’s burdens, and managing the Empire.
In the splendid and spacious white marble hall, many high society figures stood, drinking and chatting.
In the corner, on a sofa seat, sat a short-haired woman drinking alone. Her features weren’t stunning, but she had a significant androgynous beauty, quite charming.
A golden-semitarred identity badge unique to the Shelter’s upper echelons hung on her white shirt uniform.
A young man wearing the sa Shelter uniform approached with big steps, respectfully saluted the short-haired lady, and then toasted:
“Adjudicator Mona, I toast to you.”
“Thank you, Donnie.”
Mona responded with a perfunctory smile, lifted her glass slightly, but did not drink.
The fairly handso Donnie didn’t mind. He smiled, extended his hand politely, with a look of expectation and nervousness in his eyes.
“Officer Mona, could I have the honor to dance with you for a song?”
“You really are brave, inviting your direct superior to dance… Aren’t you afraid I’ll transfer you to so godforsaken small town?”
Mona said mildly, glancing at him playfully.
Donnie’s breath hitched, but he quickly recovered, speaking firmly:
“Afraid, but I don’t want to miss this and regret it. I should face my heart and express my feelings to Miss Mona.”
Mona didn’t speak, she rely looked at Donnie silently.
The two stared at each other wordlessly for a while, then Mona uttered a single word:
“Scram!”
Donnie was taken aback, then panicked and apologized repeatedly, put down the glass, and turned to leave.
Mona raised a hand to her temple, her face in the shadows full of pain. She clenched her teeth, unable to forget her father who lost control from dication, her mother who despaired and committed suicide, and the chief culprit behind it all… her forr teacher, Rudolf Teka, or rather, Howard!
“Damn it!”
Mona cursed.
She struggled to control her emotions, taking a few deep breaths, but the murderous intent in her eyes didn’t diminish.
Since learning the truth, she had been investigating Howard’s information and whereabouts, but as she delved deeper, her heart grew colder… That guy was simply the most terrifying demon in this world!
Creating coincidences, manipulating fate, causing various bizarre yet plausible tragedies, while remaining at large. The Shelter and Judiciary were utterly helpless.
Wanting to avenge such a terrifying master of fate made Mona feel despair.
She graduated from the Royal Academy with fervor, and after learning the truth, turned that fervor into the fla of revenge, rising quickly in the Shelter. But regardless of how many higher-ups praised her faith and extraordinary talent, the fact remained that what an ordinary person could do was limited.
Mona deeply felt powerless and limited at this mont.
She did not want to abandon her persistence, but the supernatural world wasn’t sothing one could enter at will… Harsh reality told her that she wasn’t capable of comprehending supernatural knowledge.
The splendor and bustle of the banquet hall seed irrelevant to her, shrouded in invisible ice and snow, everything felt lonely and solitary.
Just then, through a gap in her fingers, she saw a familiar figure.
Mona was slightly stunned, then thought for a mont, stood up and left her seat, striding forward. During this, she tried to calm her emotions and tidied her wrinkled collar.
“Mr. Jack?”
She half-testedly spoke.
The gentleman in the black hat turned slightly, his face, even more handso and perfect than before, ca into view… especially those black eyes, so deep as if they could see through her.
“Pleasure to see you again, Miss Mona.”
He smiled elegantly and spoke in a pleasant voice.
Mona, at this mont, for so reason, was sowhat dazed.
