Chapter 112: Chapter 112
After Loren took that ordinary spatial bracelet.
His assets had reached 1.24 million Spirit Stones, making him a genuine emerging tycoon.
He calmly stored the spatial bracelet inside his coat, then gave a slight tip of his hat to Abel Norton in a gesture of respect.
"I like gentlemen who keep their promises."
That night, Loren had mentally noted all the assets of the three major families and had a rough estimate in his mind.
He was quite certain that Abel Norton hadn't skimmed any of his Spirit Stones; instead, he had given him a pleasant surprise.
1.24 million Spirit Stones was enough for him to advance to an eighth-tier Psychic, and there might even be some left over...
Thinking of this, Loren silently recalled his mental issues again.
It seemed he needed to find a way to resolve them quickly. Having Spirit Stones but being unable to advance was rather torturous...
Abel Norton skillfully drew closer to Loren.
This was the quality a proper agent should possess.
"Hello, Miss Daisy Wendy Benjamin. It's been a while. You are as radiant as ever."
Abel Norton then greeted Daisy Wendy, who was standing beside Loren.
Daisy Wendy gave a polite nod to Abel Norton in response, choosing not to speak.
Due to certain experiences in her youth, she didn't like dealing with people from the Security Bureau.
As the 'Terrifying Urban Legend' within the Main City, she still held some apprehension towards the Security Bureau.
She wasn't a lone, free powerhouse like Loren; she had her family as her ties and burdens.
Seeing Daisy Wendy's aversion towards him, Abel Norton didn't mind. He was used to it.
Within the Federation, most people didn't particularly like the Security Bureau, even if they had clean backgrounds and acted within the law.
But disliking the Security Bureau was something of a trend.
Of course, it was mainly because the reputation of 'the Security Bureau being omnipresent and fond of framing people' had spread too widely.
But the Security Bureau itself felt this wasn't their fault.
Overseeing the entire Federation to maintain its stability was a great cause.
As for being fond of framing people, that blame could only be placed on those guys in the Energy Department, who were always fond of pinching the Security Bureau's funds.
There was no other way. To maintain the Federation's stability, they had to generate revenue.
This was also why Abel Norton was considered by his superiors to have lost his mind.
The Security Bureau's perfectly good revenue-generating operation had been ruined by him!!!
Using it to bribe some strange powerhouse!! And even developing him into a Security Bureau informant!!
Logically, there was no problem, and it complied with regulations!!!
But, Abel Norton had given away too much!!!
This somewhat broke the unwritten rules. The Security Bureau had no precedent of working for free...
"Is that the guy on the ground? What an unlucky fellow. As a high-level assassin, he actually ran into the next heir of the Benjamin family."
Abel Norton commented while staring at Luca Brown, who was completely immobilized on the ground.
At the same time, his gaze flicked towards Daisy Wendy's direction, subtly indicating her status within his bland words and covertly conveying something to Loren.
Are these two dating? Has the Benjamin family also taken a liking to Mr. Loren's power...
That won't do. The Benjamin family is already powerful enough. This kind of unscrupulous family shouldn't advance any further...
Balance is important.
A 'God's Favored One' from the Nature Sect getting involved with the Benjamin family is not a good thing!!
Hearing Abel Norton's ill-intentioned words.
Loren remained noncommittal, his face expressionless.
Instead, a dangerous smile appeared on Daisy Wendy's face.
"Agent Abel Norton, we'll leave the person to you. We still have a mission, so we'll take our leave now."
Daisy Wendy politely bid farewell.
Then, she turned and left.
Seeing this, Loren shrugged, gave a slight tip of his hat to Abel Norton, and also took the opportunity to say goodbye.
He still needed Daisy to lead the way to the orphanage.
"Thank you for your help and reminder, Agent Norton."
After speaking, Loren also turned and left, once again catching up to Daisy Wendy's figure.
The two walked side by side as they left the sealed-off street.
Abel Norton stood in place, watching the departing figures of the two walking together, falling into deep, grave contemplation.
Then, he spoke in a normal voice towards the retreating backs of Loren and Daisy Wendy.
"Mr. Loren, I will notify you as soon as I interrogate the assassin's origins."
Loren and Daisy Wendy, who were almost out of the street, reacted differently upon hearing Abel Norton's words.
Both were sixth-tier Superhumans, and their hearing had been enhanced several times during their advancement. Even from this distance, they could clearly hear Abel Norton's words.
Loren, at the street corner, turned back and nodded to Abel Norton.
Meanwhile, Daisy Wendy beside him narrowed her eyes.
People from the Security Bureau are truly detestable...
Soon, the figures of the two completely disappeared around the street corner.
Abel Norton, remaining in place, closed his eyes and began recalling Loren's various subtle reactions, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
That guy Loren is no simple character...
Benjamin family, whatever plans you have, I hope you are mentally prepared and don't end up shooting yourselves in the foot.
After sorting everything out in his mind, Abel Norton walked over to the spatial cube, looked at Luca Brown imprisoned inside, and shook his head.
"Unlucky guy. Daisy Benjamin is no ordinary Spatial Type user. Not even knowing this kind of intel... is he from a force from another star domain?"
After making a preliminary judgment about Luca Brown, Abel Norton bent down, lifted the spatial cube, and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
Then, with the spatial cube on his shoulder, he shouted to the agents who had already finished recording the scene.
"Pack up! We have work to do today. I want to know every trace of his movements since he arrived in the Jadeite Star Domain."
After speaking, he slightly bent his knees, then forcefully jumped. The dust on the ground rippled from the impact.
After jumping to a height parallel with the aircraft's hatch, Abel Norton reached out, grabbed the hatch edge, and pulled himself into the aircraft.
The two teams of agents on the ground all imitated him, jumping up one after another and returning to the aircraft in the same manner.
The street was too narrow, and the mid-tier aircraft was too large to land on the ground.
These agents could only choose such a rough method to return to the aircraft.
After the last agent returned to the aircraft, the hatch closed. The mid-tier aircraft once again began its aerial sprint, rapidly disappearing from the sky.
Leaving a trail of exhaust flames in the air.
In the neighboring street.
Daisy Wendy and Loren were walking quietly.
The large wings behind Loren had also been retracted, but the Raven's possession state had not been dispelled.
At this moment, the Raven was immersed in self-blame and was unwilling to come out.
"Where is Mr. Raven?" Daisy Wendy broke the silence first.
"He's feeling somewhat guilty and chose to remain hidden, protecting me." Loren replied flatly.
"Actually, he doesn't need to feel too guilty. That assassin wasn't simple. It's just that my ability happens to counter his..."
Daisy Wendy offered an explanation for the Raven.
Loren's face had returned to its usual cool, detached expression, calm and unreadable.
