The next day, Bloed and the girls went to Animal Paradise to get the information Javelin promised them.
But when they arrived, they were received by a serious-looking Illina.
"Mr. One, the captain wants to see you."
Bloed was startled. "Did anything happen?"
"Well, yeah." Illina nodded with a strange expression. She then put on a look of hesitation and apologized to Bloed. "Mr. One, don't bla our captain. Miss Madeline is a strange person, and for certain reasons, the captain can't go against her."
Bloed tilted his head. Madeline? Who was that?
But soon, he received his answer.
When he entered Javelin's room, he saw a stern-looking woman staring at him while Javelin stood behind like a bullied subordinate.
To be honest, Bloed thought it was funny that the usually elegant Javelin was like that.
But at the sa ti, he understood that this woman was no simple.
Otherwise, why would an A-Rank in charge of the information of a city like Javelin be so respectful of her?
When Bloed's group was examining the woman, the woman was also examining them.
She was a bit surprised when she felt their cultivations. From the way Javelin spoke of them, she thought they would be stronger than this.
But her doubts disappeared when she looked at Regina.
Even although Regina's aura seed like a C-Rank practitioner too, Madeline's beast instincts were screaming that she was very, very dangerous.
'What the hell!?' Madeline tried hard not to show her shock in her expression. It had been a long while since she felt sothing like this.
After staring at Regina for a few seconds more, Madeline moved her gaze towards Bloed again.
"So, you are that Mr. One, huh."
Bloed nodded. "Nice to et you."
Madeline observed Bloed briefly before chuckling. "My na is Madeline Sharpclaw. I'm the director in charge of the Diadel Branch of Moonlight glow. Nice to et you too."
Madeline was a beautiful woman. Black hair and brown eyes, with the particulars traits of a catkin, and a well-developed body.
But contrary to her beautiful looks, she emitted a sharp and intimidating aura that pressured the people around her.
Plus, her cultivation at the peak of A-Rank made her one of the strongest people in the city.
"Mr. One, I'm curious about sothing." Madeline narrowed her eyes. "A few days ago, a received an anonymous letter informing about a murder case being related to the Blight.
"Although I was suspicious about the letter, the Blight is a very sensitive topic, so I tried to investigate it. Unexpectedly, I et with obstacle after obstacle during this investigation. It was as though the entire world was against . Even after several days of investigations, I failed to find a clue.
"But yesterday, Mr. Javelin asked for help, and coincidentally, his request was related to the Blight. Plus, he was working with the people directly responsible for the murders. You can imagine my surprise when I learned of it." Madeline's eyes showed a dangerous glow.
Bloed wrinkled his brows and looked at Javelin with a dissatisfied look. He was not happy with the fact that he revealed that information to a third party.
Bloed now understood the aning of Illina's apology before.
Javelin, on the other hand, had an apologizing and embarrassed look.
Bloed sighed. "Miss Madeline, go straight to the point."
Madeline nodded. "I'll be blunt then. Mr. One, I need to know your true identity and the reason you knew about the Blight. You see, I interrogated the people that went to investigate the bodies before Diadel's lord took control of the case, and none of them saw traces of the Blight.
"Of course, I understand the reason you want to keep your identity hidden. However, I must be very careful with anything related to the Blight. Thus, I need to confirm you are not dangerous."
Bloed furrowed his brows. This conversation turned just like he expected.
However, he was already prepared for this. Actually, Bloed had already discussed this kind of situation with the girls before.
Nobody would collaborate with a suspicious person in sothing as critical as the Blight. If Bloed wanted to cooperate with Moonlight Glow, revealing his identity was a must.
Plus, there were more advantages than disadvantages to revealing his identity here. Just the fact he could forge a relationship with Moonlight Glow was good for Bloed.
"I understand." Bloed nodded calmly. He then deactivated the disguising device to reveal his true features.
Liu Ying and Regina followed suit (although Liu Ying kept her hair color black instead of showing her true red color.)
When Javelin, Madeline, and the others saw the group's true features, they were surprised.
Mainly when they saw Bloed's hair and eyes.
"You are" Javelin's expression turned to one of recognition.
"Do you know them?" Madeline asked in curiosity.
Javelin nodded.
"I received a piece of intelligence recently about a young man." Javelin said while looking at Bloed. "Blue hair, a pair of strange blue eyes, accompanied by two girls, and with two strange pets following them. If I'm not wrong, your nas are Bloed, Regina, and Liu Ying, right?"
Bloed was slightly surprised. "I didn't think you would recognize us so easily."
Javelin shrugged. "I work in the information business. If I'm unable to identify the hero that saved Calice city, then I failed in my work."
"The hero that saved Calice city?" Madeline and Illina were surprised.
Javelin nodded and explained the situation to them. When Madeline finished hearing him, the way she looked at Bloed changed.
"So you were so famous, huh. Well, I guess that makes you more trustworthy. Still, I would like to know how you recognized the Blight."
Bloed smiled.
"Although it can sound a bit arrogant, I don't think there is soone in the world that knows more about the Blight than ."
" You are right, that sounds a bit arrogant."
"My mother was a demigod and a researcher," Bloed said. "And you can say that eradicating the Blight was her mission in life."
Madeline's expression changed.
" Demigod? Your mother was a demigod?"
Bloed nodded.
Madelina was surprised, but she recovered her calm quickly.
"Very well, I'll believe you for now. Can I ask you to tell what you know about the Blight?"
Bloed nodded. Although telling Madeline everything was obviously impossible, he did not mind sharing a bit of information.
But before he could start to speak, Madeline stopped him.
"We can talk about that later. There is sothing more important we need to do now."
Madeline then turned towards Javelin.
Taking a step forward, Javelin spoke.
"Illina discovered the possible location of the person we are searching for."
