I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 357: Chapter 240 Maggie’s Path_2

He flipped to the last page of the document in his hand and found two blood-stained notes stapled to the appendix, which were Jerome’s own letters, ending with the seal of the Red Apple Church.

The evidence was overwhelming, and no matter how the Red Apple Church tried to argue, it was futile.

Of course, Chen Lun did not expect this incriminating document to take down the Red Apple Church. The likeliest outcome was merely to force them to “counteract” earlier and disrupt their pace.

Even so, Chen Lun had achieved his goal.

By advancing the main storyline of version 1.0, he had indirectly weakened the power of the Red Apple Church, while buying some growth time for himself and his team.

‘I really owe it to the Murder Club’s assassin; those three bottles of wine weren’t given in vain.’

...

Chen Lun securely stored the document and the handwritten letters, planning to find an opportunity to secretly send them to the Shelter, playing the role of a well-intentioned snitch.

[B-level Mission: Plague Legend! Completed!]

[Mission reward received: 11000 Experience Points, 18 Gold Pounds, 5 points of local lore, and one advanced Mystic Book of the Nature Faction.]

“Is there anything else you need or require, Mr. Qiaoke?”

The waiter asked respectfully.

Chen Lun turned to him, pondered for a moment:

“Not for now, thank you… but I might call you again later.”

“Then, until next time, Mr. Qiaoke.”

The faceless waiter nodded and bowed, then vanished into the Spirit World.

Only after watching the waiter leave did Chen Lun claim the mission rewards, and then he had in his hand the Nature Faction’s Mystic Book.

Since it was marked as an advanced version in the bracket, the Supernatural Knowledge contained within was unlikely to be of a Low Sequence.

Chen Lun was somewhat excited and simply opened the book to read in his room.

Two hours later.

[You have read the Nature Faction Mystic Book!]

[“Forest Warden” (Progress 40%)]

[By reading carefully, you have gained 800 Experience Points!]

[You have discovered Nature Faction Supernatural Knowledge! Sequence Seven – Ranger (Complete)!]

‘Sequence Seven Supernatural Knowledge, huh…’

Chen Lun nodded in satisfaction.

He did not stop reading, comfortably leaning back in his chair, and continued leisurely.

It wasn’t until Connie came upstairs to announce dinner time that he had just about finished the entire book, gaining a total of 2000 Experience Points, a modest win.

After dinner, Chen Lun called Maggie aside.

“I have now gathered the Supernatural Knowledge of Nature Faction’s Sequence Seven, Maggie. If you need it, I can give it to you right now… Your Mystical Accumulation is sufficient, you just need to complete the corresponding Promotion Ceremony to become a ‘Ranger’.”

Maggie showed a surprised face, but she shook her head without hesitation.

“Leader, I have always held the same view I mentioned to you earlier… I still prefer to follow the natural branch pathway, wanting to become a ‘Plague Doctor’.”

“I see…”

Chen Lun thought for a few seconds.

“I happen to know Mr. Akebin Kowal, a veteran of that Sequence pathway. Perhaps I could introduce you to him… If I could send you to study with him for a while, it might help you achieve your goal.”

“Really?! You know the senior Akebin! Why haven’t you mentioned this before…?”

Maggie jumped up from the couch, showing an excited expression.

“It’s something from a while back… it’s a bit complicated.”

Chen Lun did not explain further.

He simply took out pen and paper, and hastily wrote a letter to Akebin on the coffee table. In the letter, he asked Akebin to look after Maggie for a while, hoping she could study under him.

Believing in the goodwill between them, Akebin was most likely not to refuse.

“Let’s just wait patiently for a few days then, Maggie.”

Chen Lun waved the letter in his hand, and Maggie, visibly thrilled, repeatedly flattered the Leader in a blatant fashion, lacking any subtlety, which made Chen Lun roll his eyes.

“Alright, go back upstairs and get busy.”

Chen Lun pressed his hand on Maggie’s tousled hair and pushed her away as she giggled and turned to leave.

Just as expected.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Akebin sent a reply agreeing to the arrangement. He even personally came to the Manor to pick her up.

This surprised Chen Lun somewhat.

The two had a brief exchange on the manor lawn, and only then did Chen Lun learn that Akebin had developed a strong interest in Maggie based on his general introduction in the letter.

In Akebin’s words, that particular pathway within the Nature branch was rarely taken, and they couldn’t even find another Transcendent to compare and reflect upon.

Since Maggie was so persistent, he was not reluctant to teach and saw it as an opportunity to cultivate a student with shared convictions, which was beneficial for both parties.

Conveniently, Akebin was preparing for his own “Sequence Five — Disaster Disease Master” Promotion Ceremony and planned to have Maggie assist him in arranging it.

During this process, Akebin promised Chen Lun to teach Maggie the Supernatural Knowledge of “Sequence Seven — Plague Doctor” and even share some of his unique insights and experiences.

This arrangement was indeed a cause for general rejoicing.

“With that being the case, I entrust Maggie to you, Mr. Akebin.”

Chen Lun said.

“Rest assured.”

Akebin’s face was still hidden behind the crow mask, and his succinct words emanated from beneath it.

Maggie bid farewell to Chen Lun, and then followed Akebin, leaving the manor together to temporarily begin her scholarly and promotion journey.
