Chapter 124: Chapter 124

Instantly, countless pieces of intelligence flooded the screen in front of Abel Norton.

Thanks to the painstaking accumulation by countless Security Bureau agents over hundreds of years, the intelligence on any single faction had grown into an astronomical figure.

Abel Norton began rapidly browsing every piece of intelligence concerning the Nature Sect from the past several hundred years.

After swiftly reviewing all the Nature Sect intelligence gathered over the last few centuries, Abel Norton closed his eyes once more. He started recalling each piece of that chaotic information one by one, hoping to find a discernible pattern within it.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, feeling rather uncomfortable.

He had a feeling that the truth was right before his eyes.

But he had overlooked one most crucial point, resulting in a barrier that felt within reach yet remained indistinct, blocking his path.

Feeling as if he stood right at the threshold of the truth, Abel Norton felt a pang of frustration in his heart.

"Mr. Loren, I'd like to talk with you, is that possible?"

Loren, who was flying through the night sky following the map app's directions, looked at the message that popped up on his portable computer screen with a hint of confusion.

Loren replied to the message with his own puzzlement.

"What do you want to talk about? I'm a bit busy right now, Agent Norton."

Having received the message, Loren was currently on his way to Councilor Osman's unnamed manor.

"Mr. Loren, apologies, I won't take up much of your time."

"You are a God's Favored One with a high position in the Nature Sect, right? I'd like to know, do you follow the moderate Moonlight Goddess? Or do you follow the radical God of Nature?"

Sitting in his office, Abel Norton felt a twinge of regret the moment he sent this message.

Was he being too hasty...

Loren stared at the message on the screen, utterly perplexed.

Me, a God's Favored One?! And a high-ranking one?!

Which god do I follow?! Moderate faction?! Radical faction?!

Just what exactly have you been imagining, Agent Norton.

Your imagination might be a bit too rich...

"Master, it seems the Security Bureau gave you Councilor Osman's information to avoid offending the Nature Sect behind you."

"And, Master. I'm genuinely afraid that one day you'll be exposed and get door-camped by a joint force from the Security Bureau and the Energy Department..."

"Not many people have the potential to get door-camped by two major departments with real power, but Master, you clearly possess that potential."

Raven, in its attached state, felt a bit unable to hold back its commentary upon seeing the message on the screen.

"Raven, you're being a bit too talkative..." Loren also felt a bit guilty at this moment.

He wasn't afraid of a joint door-camping by the Security Department and the Energy Department; after all, he still had resurrection chances.

What he truly feared was getting door-camped by the gods of the Nature Sect as well.

Now, Loren finally understood who "those two" were, as mentioned by that Legendary Druid, Solon Linton.

He had initially thought they were two high-ranking members within the Nature Sect, but from Agent Norton's words, he now knew!!

It was the Moonlight Goddess!! And the God of Nature!!

Damn it!! The Nature Sect actually has two gods within it...

As expected of you!! Nature Sect!

I knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to be this strong...

Loren stared at the message on the screen, his expression conflicted.

In the night sky, Loren's rapidly flying figure came to a halt. He pulled out that Federation Coin from his pocket.

When in doubt, toss a coin.

"Is admitting I'm a God's Favored One of the Nature Sect a good thing? If yes, heads."

The coin was tossed and fell back into Loren's hand.

Heads. Admitting he is a God's Favored One is a good thing.

Immediately after, that Federation Coin was tossed into the air again by Loren.

"Pretending to follow which god is more beneficial for me? Heads for Moonlight Goddess, tails for God of Nature."

The coin landed, but!!!

This coin bizarrely stood upright on its edge in Loren's hand...

Loren's eyes narrowed involuntarily...

Is this an inability to answer?! Or is following either god equally beneficial?

"Has the Moonlight Goddess noticed me?! If noticed, heads!!"

The coin was tossed again and landed.

Tails!!! The Moonlight Goddess had not noticed Loren.

"Has the God of Nature noticed me?! If noticed, heads!!"

The coin was tossed again and fell back into Loren's hand.

Tails!!! The God of Nature had not noticed Loren either.

Seeing these two tails, Loren slowly let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had thought the coin standing upright earlier was the work of the gods, but apparently not.

Phew, that scared me... Loren thought silently to himself.

Then, the coin was tossed once more.

"Is not telling the other party which god I follow more beneficial for me? If yes, heads!"

Finally, this time the coin gave a clear answer and didn't terrifyingly stand on edge again.

Heads. Not telling Abel Norton specifically which god he follows is more beneficial for Loren.

Loren silently put away the coin. His fingers danced, quickly typing a passage on the portable computer.

"Agent Norton, I can only tell you that I am a God's Favored One of the Nature Sect. But as for the rest, it's better you don't know."

"Also, do not disturb. I have arrived."

After sending this message, Loren stored the portable computer in his spatial storage device. He then looked down, scanning the largest estate by area in the vicinity.

Loren had already spotted that "Jadeite Commercial Tower." The glowing sign atop the tower was quite conspicuous in the night sky, flashing with dazzling lights.

Meanwhile, far away, Abel Norton sat in his office, staring at the reply on the screen and let out a sigh.

"Indeed, I was too hasty..."

"This time, just what exactly does your Nature Sect intend to do?"

Subsequently, having gained nothing from his contemplation, Abel Norton put away his portable computer. Shaking his head, he leaned back in his office chair again, closing his eyes to rest.

He needed to take advantage of this time to get some rest.

He anticipated he might not have another chance to rest in the latter half of the night.

That dangerous fellow Loren had already reached Councilor Osman's place. Barring any accidents, he might still have an hour or two to rest...

He didn't believe Loren was just going to pay Councilor Osman a simple visit.

The Security Bureau's internal intelligence on Loren's modus operandi was quite clear.

That was a guy who stirred up trouble wherever he went...

His level of danger was not inferior to those notorious cult organizations.

And at this moment, Loren had already landed on the ground.

The bustling central district of Jadeite Main City was still extremely lively. The commercial streets were still filled with people out shopping.

Loren took advantage of the darkness to land in a less conspicuous alley.

He walked out of the alley nonchalantly. Approaching a decorative tree by the street, Loren casually broke off a twig.

"Raven, stack Fortune on me several more times."

After giving this instruction in his mind, Loren casually tossed this twig onto the ground.

The thinner end of the twig pointed clearly in a direction for Loren.

Loren walked in that direction, disappearing into the bustling crowd.
