Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"Yes, the news came from an unknown source, but it's probably true. The Dean speculates that it might have been released by Earl Shek himself."

A man dressed in heavy armor, resembling a servant, knelt on one knee.

Who killed him?

Upon hearing the news of Kelda's death, the sword-wielding woman's icy expression changed slightly.

In the previous competition, Kelda came in second, and she came in third.

Kelda was her next target, but now that target is gone.

Someone has to take responsibility.

"It seems to be... Lord Tata's new student."

Such scenes were common in Kanriel. That night, Kanriel's brilliant elites all received news of Kelda's death.

Some were dismissive, some were interested, some were indifferent, and some wanted revenge for Kelda.

……

"Kelda is dead?"

In front of a huge crucible, a man with long red hair slowly stood up.

He was tall and robust, dressed in aristocratic attire, and wore a family crest with a petal pattern on his chest.

A curvaceous woman knelt before him, recounting the news of Kelda's death.

"What did the teacher say?"

The man spoke slowly.

"The Earl... doesn't seem to be making any moves."

The woman spoke in a low voice.

The red-haired man sighed:

"It seems the teacher wants me to avenge that good-for-nothing."

The woman's expression changed; she knew that her master's old problem had relapsed.

His master liked to guess the Earl's intentions, and he was always very confident in his guesses.

“Our teacher is the kind of person who always seeks revenge, but he didn’t make a move this time. There must be some reason why he couldn’t make a move. Since he can’t make a move, as his student, I should naturally do it for him.”

"Logic is this logic, and reason is this reason."

The red-haired man muttered to himself, increasingly convinced that his deduction was accurate.

Finally, he stopped and sat back down in front of the crucible:

"Wait until I finish refining this pot of medicine."

After saying that, he turned his back to the woman.

It was at this moment that his true appearance was fully revealed.

On his right shoulder blade, there was a folded wing, resembling a demon's and a bat's wing.

……

The next day, before dawn, Luo Xiu woke up.

Haha didn't knock on the door today, but he was still woken up by the noise.

Because of the extremely noisy noise coming from outside the newly installed door, it sounded like a bunch of people were chatting in the street in front of the door.

"What happened..."

Luo Xiu muttered something and pushed open the door.

Next second,

He immediately closed the door again.

He suspected that he had seen it wrong.

Why are there so many people outside?!

Not just outside his door, but the entire Mammon Street was packed with people. He glanced at it just now, and it was absolutely impossible to get through.

He put on a cloak, told Tassanya to stay inside the cubicle, and then quickly blended into the crowd.

After a short while, he understood the whole story and looked helpless.

When he first became Tata's student, he wondered if the news had been suppressed by his own teacher. But after last night, the news spread completely.

Moreover, it has become even more outrageous.

According to what he heard from a randomly selected passerby,

A third of the people of Kanriel are now discussing who Master Tata's new student is, another third are discussing whether Kelda is really dead, and the last third of the people of Kanriel...

They're all on Mammon Street.

This is certainly an exaggeration, but it's enough to illustrate the point.

What kind of nonsense is this...?

Luo Xiu sighed helplessly.

As for who leaked the news, he had a pretty good idea.

My teacher is a quiet person. Of the four people present yesterday, besides my teacher, one of them is already dead. It's impossible that I was the one who spread the news among the remaining two.

So there's only...

Earl Shekker.

Is this considered revenge? Is this how a fifth-order being retaliates?

Seeing the crowd blocking his teacher's door, Luo Xiu knew he definitely couldn't go to Tata's place today.

But that's good, it gives him time to go somewhere else.

He had noticed that his basic healing spell hadn't leveled up in a long time, so he thought about buying a few healing skill books.

Today is a good day; I can go out and avoid the storm.

After finally squeezing out of Mammon Street, he stared in disbelief at the manila scrolls plastered all over the street.

All that could be seen on those parchment scrolls were portraits of themselves wearing raccoon dog masks.

Count Shek's behavior is simply...

Luo Xiu was at a loss for words.

Luckily, I wore a cloak when I went out today, otherwise I would have been caught red-handed.

Thinking of this, he immediately took off his mask and simply covered his body with a cloak.

Fortunately, there are all sorts of strange clothes on the streets of Kanriel, and quite a few people even wear nothing at all.

Therefore, it did not seem out of place for him to wear a cloak all the time.

He walked quickly toward the location of the Chamber of Commerce.

The further you go from Mammon Street, the fewer people are visibly on the street.

As Luo Xiu approached the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, he spotted a familiar figure in the main hall.

It was a black-haired man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who was talking to someone next to him. His manner and speech were extremely gentle and refined.

It was Bota who had tried to recruit him at the Monster Arena.

He had no intention of recognizing Bota, but Bota noticed him, her eyes lit up, and she walked towards him.

"Mr. White!"

Botta strode forward and extended his hand:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Even though I've changed into a cloak, how can I still be recognized?

Luo Xiu began to wonder if he was using too few aliases.

But now that he'd been recognized, he didn't intend to keep hiding it any longer, since the threat to White's persona had already been eliminated.

The entire arena is now closed, foreshadowing the reappearance of White's disguise.

He also extended his hand and gently shook hands with Bota:

"It's been a long time, Mr. Botta."

After speaking, Luo Xiu stared blankly at Bota's emotional state.

Because Bota's current emotional state is... ecstatic?

This stems from the lack of Luo Xiu's perspective.

He didn't know that Rolda, whom he met in front of the Tata Gate that day, was Bota's nephew, so he didn't know that in Bota's eyes he was more than just White, who had killed a second-tier demon bat in the arena.

It was White, who sent Master Tata's student to deliver the message.

The person who can dispatch Master Tata's students to deliver messages must possess considerable power, which is why Bota is overjoyed and excited.

In his view, getting in touch with Luo Xiu was equivalent to getting in touch with three big shots at the same time.

What he didn't know was that his perspective was also incomplete.

If his nephew Roldah were also present at this moment, he would surely point at Luo Xiu and exclaim in surprise.

"Isn't this Master Tata's student?"

Yes, because Luo Xiu met Bota and Rolda on the same day, and he didn't change his cloak or his appearance.

Fortunately, Botha's nephew was not present, otherwise it might have caused a major incident.

"Mr. White, is there anything you need from your visit to the Chamber of Commerce?"

Bota spoke, his attitude both friendly and respectful.
