"I am a nobleman!"
After the Butcher, another man clad in a snow-white suit stepped forward.
His voice, under the gold mask, carried a magnetic charm, with a certain insinuating tone.
Perhaps to so middle-class onlookers, that accent was the epito of the esteed Byron high society, but the Butcher simply spat in disdain.
"White Cat!"
Another person, dressed like a witch with a tall, pointed hat, spoke up.
Her voice was cold, stating only a na, seemingly unwilling to say more.
"I am a detective, if you have any tasks such as finding soone, you can co to , I have special skills for locating people."
A young man stepped out, finally soone who seed relatively normal.
"I am a painter, an artist by profession, skilled in psychological profiling and the depiction of sceneries from the Spirit Realm..."
Another middle-aged individual stepped forward, donning a hat typical for painters, with his face covered in various paint colors, looking much like a clown.
"Don’t peddle your Spirit Realm oil paintings here, haven’t they caused enough chaos?"
Julie imdiately chastised, "We’ve finally got a new doctor; don’t ss this up!"
She paused, then turned to Zhong Shenxiu, "Most of the ti, this gathering is for exchanging information, but sotis we conduct various trades and task assignnts, you just need to take care of making the Spiritual Wine..."
Hmm, she had always thought that Li Wei was still an ’extraordinary one,’ the lowest existence in this eting.
"Alright, alright, but really, so people have seen the pitch-black door through my paintings and have beco extraordinary people..."
The painter murmured a couple of sentences before finally retreating.
"I am a watchmaker, usually at these gatherings, there is also an old drunkard, but he did not co today."
The last person introduced himself, "I specialize in making small gadgets and take orders for alchemical products..."
...
Zhong Shenxiu looked around at each one of them.
Not ntioning Julie, Jasmine was very close to Julie, huddling together like sisters.
Shadows curled up in the darkness, resembling an assassin.
The Butcher was tall and strong, likely with formidable martial capabilities, and together with the noble-like gentleman, the skilled detective, the witch-like White Cat, the slightly neurotic painter, plus the watchmaker and the old drunkard, these were probably the regular attendees of Julie’s gatherings.
"Why is the old drunkard missing?"
After everyone had introduced themselves, Julie inquired.
"Who knows... It is said that the old drunkard had taken on a job previously, a revenge task put up by the remnants of the Gambina Organization and the Rek family against the Notting Hill family, and well, he was shot three tis, very badly hurt but luckily escaped... He’s currently in hiding and recovering."
The watchmaker rolled his eyes.
"Heh, don’t you know?"
Julie scoffed, aware that the watchmaker was close to the old drunkard. In fact, the watchmaker had been introduced to this circle through the old drunkard, and it was quite possible that in reality they knew each other.
Their relationship was like hers and Jasmine’s – that of close brothers and sisters, who could support each other.
"Damn Notting Hill!"
Jasmine cursed through gritted teeth, causing Zhong Shenxiu to involuntarily shrink his neck.
Fortunately, he managed the other bars through his subordinates, even employing the original bartenders and waitresses, so the regular custors, aside from lanting the improvent in the drinks, had no other thoughts.
The people in this eting also probably thought that Notting Hill had taken over all the private liquor businesses and for the ti being couldn’t connect it to him.
Otherwise...
He would probably have to go on a killing spree, at least wiping out half of them.
"Then, let’s begin, we’ll exchange so information first."
Julie said.
"I’ll start..."
the watchmaker coughed, "The Notting Hill family has now seized control over the dark forces of Byron City, this is the most significant developnt; they have even obtained so strange potions that allow ordinary people to resist Spiritual Pressure, just like the agents from the Special Affairs Bureau, we are very passive, extrely passive..."
"Their new Clan Leader, no, boss now, since Sinisi has forsaken tradition and is madly hunting down wild mystics, seemingly wanting sothing... It’s nothing more than mystical knowledge, heh, everyone here is his target, we need to be careful."
"Or... I suggest we plan an operation together to take down Sinisi!"
He said in a grave tone.
"I agree!" Jasmine imdiately spoke up.
"Heh... I oppose, watchmaker, are you trying to avenge the old drunkard?" White Cat stretched lazily, her voice deepening, "Notting Hill family can no longer be considered a re gang now, how many of us would we lose to kill Sinisi? Those remnants from Gambina and the Rek family, hadn’t they offered high rewards to hire assassins and mystics? We all know how that turned out."
"It’s a pity... None of us knows any curses or naless spells, or else it would be simple."
The detective sighed, "Perhaps... we could send Sinisi one of the painter’s oil paintings?"
"The other party is no longer an ordinary person ignorant of mysticism now, they are very cautious about their protection, they won’t rashly touch mystical items and try to destroy any information about themselves in mysticism..." White Cat shook her head.
"So, the best plan is still for us to go and take him out together!"
The Butcher sneered, "After taking control of the darkness, Notting Hill is reaching into the mystical world, they will beco our enemies sooner or later!"
’No, Sinisi might just be trying to gather a legacy, or find another source of the Spiritual Wine...’
Zhong Shenxiu inwardly rolled his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlen... I have sothing to say."
At that mont, the well-dressed gentleman with the gold mask spoke up, "The actions of the Notting Hill family are too crazy, I have received intelligence that it has attracted the attention of the Special Affairs Bureau..."
If it were an ordinary gang fight for territory, the Special Affairs Bureau wouldn’t care.
But with the appearance of Spiritual Wine, the Special Affairs Bureau would have every reason to get involved.
"Therefore, we do not need to act, we just need a little patience to wait, perhaps by the ti of the next eting, we will hear that the Notting Hill family has been destroyed."
The nobleman smiled as he shared the intelligence.
"That would be the best outco." Julie nodded in agreent.
"Special Affairs Bureau?" Zhong Shenxiu feigned confusion.
"It’s a federal agency specifically dealing with mystical affairs, its predecessor was the Secret Keeper Order... They worship an entity known as the ’Secret Keeper,’ believing it to be the recorder of secret history, the protector of many secrets..."
Julie explained, "The Special Affairs Bureau, along with the Church of Sui Sui and the Seven Difficulties, are the three pillars of the federal mystical world!"
