Chapter 80: Information!

White Lion Club, second-floor hallway.

The windows were bright.

The afternoon sunlight streamed in through the glass, illuminating Gawain’s slightly upturned lips, instantly stretching out his paused figure.

Gawain raised his hand to signal Andy Nam to retreat, then immediately pulled out his revolver.

However, before Gawain could pull the trigger, a voice came from the room.

“Lord Mapple, don’t shoot!”

“We mean no harm!”

The voice ...

*Chapter 79: The White Lion Club*

Goethe didn't elaborate further, but just a simple question was enough for the clever young Andy Nan.

In an instant, Andy Nan thought of more details.

"Are you saying that last night's attackers are connected to the 'White Lion Club'?"

The young man frowned as well.

Then, he began to mutter softly to himself—

"My arrangements weren't particularly conspicuous, and not many people knew about last night's gathering. Moreover, the attackers had better opport...

Chapter 78: Completed One Task!

When Goethe looked at Andinan, the young man also turned to look at Goethe.

"Mr. Mapple, I hope to further cooperate with you."

"These things..."

"You understand!"

The smart young man spoke up proactively, not waiting for Goethe to say anything.

"I can offer all my wealth for you to protect me and help me investigate the truth about my mother's death!"

"I hope you will agree!"

After speaking, the young man stared at Goethe, his eyes full of ant...

*Chapter 77: In the Shadows!*

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed through the chamber.

On a square metal pedestal, a meter wide on each side, a black raven statue the size of a palm cracked. The robed man kneeling before the statue instinctively reached out to check it.

But as soon as he thought to move, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed, convulsing.

The young man standing nearby, dressed in luxurious clothing, was shocked.

"Sir? Sir?"

"What happened?"

The youn...

*Chapter 76: Intimidation!*

The sound of gunfire jolted Andinan awake.

"What happened?"

The young man shouted loudly.

"Crows!"

"Master, it's crows!"

The servants who had survived last night's attack inside Castle No. 6 immediately responded.

Crows?

Andinan was stunned.

Without even putting on his shoes, the young man grabbed the revolver from under his pillow and, barefoot, ran to the window. There, he saw hundreds of crows swooping down, tearing at the flesh of the...

*Chapter 75: Goethe: There's Always Someone Pushing Me!*

Modius?

King George I!

The Mad King!

As soon as he saw the name "Modius," Goethe immediately thought of the "Mad King."

The Mad King had been here!

Goethe narrowed his eyes.

It's not impossible!

After all, this ring originally belonged to the Mad King, so it's entirely plausible that he had been here.

And there's more!

Goethe flipped through the text that only he could see.

Soon enough, he found the initial description when he...

Chapter 74: The Secret!

Looking at the smile on the face of the bastard in front of him, Lancaster wished he could shoot him in the head.

Yes, he was a bastard!

When the attackers appeared, Lancaster had already suspected he had been set up.

And when he saw the smile on Goder's face, Lancaster confirmed that he had indeed been fooled!

This bastard must have realized something was off at noon, which was why he deliberately lured him and Gegan to 6 Castle Street!

Though angry insid...

*Chapter 73: Encirclement!

Firelight, shockwaves, and a deafening explosion.

Inside the hall of No. 6 Castle Street, blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The group of four swindlers was blown to pieces in an instant.

Andinan, who was being held by Goethe behind a pillar in the living room, had his ears ringing and his vision filled with gray dust. Crimson blood quickly spread across the scene, with chunks of flesh splattering against the walls and then bouncing back.

One piece of flesh hit th...

Chapter 72: The Ambush!

Andy was dumbfounded.

The young man originally thought it was exaggerated enough that three out of the four people he met were scammers. But what he didn't expect was that the last one, in whom he had placed high hopes, was also a scammer.

And moreover...

It seemed that this person was the leader of the four.

"Open the door, let us go, and we'll pretend none of this ever happened!"

The silent man pointed a gun at Andy as he spoke.

"Hahaha!"

An...

*Chapter 71: The Gathering!

Up to this point, which of the many extraordinary individuals had left the deepest impression on Goethe?

The wealthy owner of the Matsuko Hotel?

The far-reaching schemer of the "Flesh Church"?

No!

None of them!

The one who left the deepest impression on him was the "Foggy Killer," whom he had already eliminated.

This was naturally because that person was his first extraordinary enemy.

But the madness of the "Foggy Killer" was also a significan...

*Chapter 70: The Gathering! (Fourth Update)*

Sitting in the carriage, Goethe didn’t need to look out to guess what Sheriff Lanst was up to. It was intentional.

When Lanst immediately called out Antinan’s name, Goethe suspected that Lanst had a strong impression of him. Approaching him at this moment was naturally an attempt to probe.

Under normal circumstances, Goethe would have completely ignored him.

But at this moment? It was different! Because Goethe couldn’t be sure if everything Antinan said was true.

*Chapter 69: Taking the Initiative! (Third Update)*

Faced with Andy Nan's words, Goethe wanted to tell him about the "extraordinary individuals" he had encountered in Lust.

The "Foggy Killer"!

The owner of the Matsuko Hotel!

Members of the "Flesh Church"!

To put it bluntly, except for Morey, who was always affected, and Mrs. Pence, who hadn't completed the "baptism" in the true sense, the rest—whether it was the "Foggy Killer," the owner of the Matsuko Hotel, or the members of the "Flesh Church"—were all not ...

Chapter 68: Contact! (Second Update)

An extraordinary being?

Goethe instinctively stared at the young man in front of him, taking another careful look. The young man’s eyes were bright, his face youthful, but there was a sense of maturity in his expression.

He could be described as wise beyond his years.

But Goethe didn’t sense the unique aura that people like Morey or Mrs. Pence had, nor did he feel the madness that characterized members of the "Fog Killer" or the "Flesh Church."

Was it hidden...

Chapter 66: You Are the Murderer!

Goethe was stunned.

Almost instinctively, he looked in the direction where the scream had come from—the kitchen!

Frowning, Goethe walked over.

Then, he saw a corpse with a caved-in back of the head, brain matter splattered, lying face down in a pool of blood.

The surrounding area was in chaos.

"Call the police! Call the police!"

"Hurry and call the police!"

"Everyone, stay in your original seats!"

"We'll wait for the police to arrive!"<...

*Chapter 65: Lunch...?*

At dawn, Goethe stretched his body as he stood up after completing another writing task. He picked up the freshly completed manuscript and quickly scanned it. Satisfied that he hadn’t missed any typos, he headed downstairs with the draft in hand. Just because he couldn't find any mistakes didn't mean others wouldn't. After learning that Maria was literate, Goethe had entrusted her with the secondary proofreading task.

The butler, ever diligent, followed closely behind Goethe un...

*Chapter 64: Occasional Surprises!

In the first-floor living room, Goethe didn’t use the parlor.

The parlor was reserved for friends.

The two police officers before him were far from being guests.

When one of them entered 11 Kimmel Street with an aggressive demeanor, it made Maria turn pale with fear. Goethe stepped forward and gently patted the maid on the shoulder, signaling that she didn't need to attend to them.

Then Goethe sat down without inviting the officers to sit or offering them tea....

*Chapter 63: Balancing Main and Side Jobs!*

On the second floor, in the study.

Goethe sat behind his desk, frowning. His pen moved hesitantly, pausing frequently. Finally, as the light of dawn began to break, he let out a long sigh of relief.

“The first five chapters are finally done!” Goethe muttered softly.

After returning to 11 Kimmel Street yesterday, Goethe went straight to the study.

To maximize his profits, he needed to write the so-called Adventures in the Wilderness as quickly a...

*Chapter 62: Active!

Goethe staggered backward, clutching his abdomen, and looked up in shock at the policeman holding a dagger.

"You?!"

Goethe's voice trembled as he pointed at the officer.

"It wasn't me!"

The policeman with the dagger shouted loudly.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.

Even the reporters who had just arrived were momentarily at a loss.

"He was framing..."

Bang!

The policeman with the dagger started to explain, but his words we...

*Chapter 61: When Facing Threats...*

The moment Goethe sensed the malicious intent, he immediately identified the stalker's identity—it was an accomplice of the man who had suddenly appeared from the alley earlier.

After all, this was Polo. Marple's first time in Blacksettings. He had no enemies here.

As for anyone coveting Mr. Marple's wealth? That was nonsense. Although Goethe made sure to appear generous, his generosity was within reasonable limits and wouldn't attract unwanted attention.

So, the o...
