Chapter 277: Chapter 231, I Will Teach You (One more update first, there must be two updates tomorrow.)_1

In the inner city district, within a lavish mansion.

On either side of a slender dining table, two n in different attire were enjoying a sumptuous al.

“Is there soone in this remote place that even you can’t handle?” The man to the left, cutting his food with a knife and fork, remarked casually.

He had long chestnut hair that reached his shoulders, pale skin, and deep-set eyes. The fingers holding his cutlery were as thin and dry as dead twigs.

He was tall and thin, donned in a dark blue mage robe.

“That’s why we invited Mr. Giovanni to help us.” said the man across the table, dressed in noble attire.

“Right.” Mage ‘Giovanni’ picked up his napkin, gently wiping his mouth before continuing, “Tell more about this person. You ntioned he’s from the association.”

The nobleman nodded, “The captain of the association, a necromancer transferred from Yeko Kingdom. He took two of our special items…”

After the brief introduction, Mage ‘Giovanni’ was sowhat surprised.

The Yeko Kingdom actually had a necromancer, and he had been successfully appointed as the captain of the association.

It was quite rare.

“You want to retrieve those two special items?” Giovanni inquired.

“We want the items back, but we also want him killed. You should have no problem making soone disappear, right?”

“Of course, it’s not difficult.”

Tap, tap, tap~!

At this mont, footsteps echoed from outside the dining room.

A servant stood at the door, whispering, “Master, Palaluk has returned.”

“Let him in!”

The footsteps approached from the door, and a middle-aged man stood by with his head bowed.

“Lord Benasev, there have been so developnts.”

The rchant ‘Benasev’ put down his cutlery, “Speak! There are no outsiders here.”

The man nodded, “We’ve engaged people from the Association. It is confird that ‘Burke’ is dead, and the association has issued death benefits.”

“Is he really dead? What about Wu Heng?” Benasev continued.

“Only Burke is dead. The rest have been honored for killing the Hamr party.” The man paused, and then continued, “Wu Heng has nearly ten thousand necromancies.”

Benasev’s face darkened, he took a deep breath, “Alright, you may leave.”

The man bowed and was about to leave.

“Wait!” Giovanni, who had just sipped so red wine, suddenly spoke.

The man’s steps faltered.

Next, his face drastically changed, eyes widened, and veins protruded from his neck.

Crack~!

A midst the cries of horror and hoarse pleading, his neck suddenly twisted 180 degrees to the back.

Blood flowed from his seven orifices and he fell to the ground, dead.

…

‘Benasev’s’ face changed, nearly jumping out of his seat.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he asked, “Giovanni, what’s this?”

Giovanni didn’t respond, but simply pointed a finger.

The fallen corpse abruptly sat up.

The head, which had twisted to the back, cracked back into place with a gnashing sound and stared back at them.

Giovanni asked, “How did Burke die?”

The corpse replied, “The association issued death benefits, saying he died at the hands of the Hamr party.”

Giovanni continued to ask, “What about the others in their squad?”

“The others are all fine.”

“Why is Benasev investigating Wu Heng?”

“It seems that he lost sothing that is now in Wu Heng’s hands.”

“When did this Wu Heng co to Lundham City?”

“Approximately, a month ago…”

“…”.

Giovanni asked five consecutive questions, confirming Burke’s situation and Benasev’s intentions, as if he couldn’t trust soone else’s words and needed to confirm with the corpse himself.

After the five questions were asked, the corpse fell back onto the ground with a thump.

…

Benasev looked a bit uncomfortable and waved his hand to have the corpse removed.

Giovanni smiled and said, “Don’t mind it, it’s always better to be careful. It’s good for both you and .”

“Understood. Being cautious is a good thing.” Benasev’s expression regained composure as he asked, “What’s your plan now?.”

“A necromancer who suddenly erged in a month, I am actually quite interested.”

“You’re not planning on backing out now, are you?!”

Giovanni smiled, “Of course not. I will help you retrieve the items; the honorarium remains the sa. But Wu Heng is mine, whether alive or dead, he’s valuable to .”

“No problem.” Benasev imdiately agreed, and then added, “Tomorrow, I need ‘Giovanni’ to accompany to discuss this matter.”

“Sure.”

…

Inside the living room.

The air conditioning was spreading cool air.

Wen Mansha continued to explain, “Benasev is a wealthy rchant in the inner city area with a fairly large mansion. But he doesn’t seem to have any business in the city. I couldn’t find anything else.”

It can basically be confird now.

That ‘Benasev’ was the real culprit behind the scenes who ordered ‘Burke’ to kill him.

Although he had many enemies, his biggest connection to a wealthy businessman would be the mbers of the ‘ Secret Cultivation Hall’.

“Any movents on his side?” Wu Heng asked.

“No major discoveries. I’ve arranged for surveillance nearby. If there’s any movent, I will be notified imdiately.” Wen Mansha responded.

Wu Heng didn’t respond, instead sinking into his thoughts.

Whether to monitor or not, it wouldn’t matter much.

If the other party has already arranged to kill him, having zero activity could only embolden them.

The only concerning issue was whether his rits were reported, and if he could be promoted to Vice-executive.
