Chapter 138: Chapter 138
Beneath the trimmed and washed fluffy brown short hair was the slightly plump face of a young man with a healthy complexion. Though still carrying a bit of excess fat, it did not affect the distribution of his facial features.
The navy blue sports suit featured flat lapels with single-row metal buttons, matched with a British-style striped legion tie, authentic British slant pockets, cotton twill khaki trousers, and brown brogue leather shoes.
The belly that should have put great pressure on the buttons had shrunk considerably and now protruded only slightly.
Due to the significant changes in his appearance and physique, Yi Chen didn’t recognize him at first glance.
It was only by his voice and facial features that Yi Chen recognized this disciple of the principal—Ludwig Reagan.
“Mr. Reagan, is that really you?”
“Yes, my body was really quite embarrassing before. I never expected that immersing myself in research and snacks could make one gain weight so quickly.
I spent a whole week reshaping my physique and barely managed to bring my physique back to [2].
After our conversation last week, I thought seriously about it for one night and finally decided to accept your proposal to go out and seek opportunities. As for the job at the power station, it’s temporarily on hold. The station manager was quite amiable and told me to take care of things before returning to work.”
Reagan directly handed over his gentleman’s certificate while pondering the issue of time.
“So there’s only one day to prepare, right? Then I’ll trouble Mr. William to submit the personal information. I need to make a trip back to the Power Station, as there are some necessary items that need to be organized and assembled… some things related to Faye.”
“Then let’s meet directly at Gentleman Hall tomorrow, and I’ll return the gentleman’s certificate to you then.”
Jin suddenly leaned his head against Yi Chen’s shoulder, an intimacy that made the latter instinctively shiver,
“William, I didn’t expect you to have already started scouting for new team members and kept it hidden from me.
It’s the first time I’ve met such a peculiar individual, not even Cesimani has such ‘oddities’.”
“Jin, did you notice anything?”
“On the surface, he appears to adhere to so-called gentlemanly etiquette, pretending to be harmless.
“In reality, he harbors a ‘violent nature’. I cannot directly see it, but my instincts don’t lie…he’s killed nearly as many as I have.”
“Mr. Reagan indeed wears a mask far more secretive than ordinary people, but I have already seen his ‘True Face’ under that mask. His nature isn’t evil, and he possesses a strong sense of personal purpose.
With his assistance, our chances of finding the Relic will be significantly increased.”
At this point, Jin hooked the collar of Yi Chen’s shirt with his finger, leaned out, and sniffed closely, as if identifying some peculiar scent.
“Even more secretive? Is it more secretive than yours, William?
I can smell the strange aura inside you~ It’s precisely because of this that I became interested in you upon our first meeting…It seems this ‘strange scent’ inside you has become slightly stronger.
Has something happened recently?”
“Nothing much, let’s quickly report our names to the instructor.”
When Ludwig Reagan’s gentleman’s certificate was handed to Beili, she immediately pulled up his information using Cesimani’s internal network, and part of the information was even confidential.
“A researcher from the Power Station? Where did you find this guy? It’s not easy at all! Such a talented individual of the Transcendent Level in Sensing, and it’s his first mission related to the Relic?
If he were made public, I wonder how many teams would scramble for him.”
Yi Chen explained briefly, “A while ago, due to a chance encounter, I met Reagan. He initially had no plans to leave the city…I might have convinced him.”
“The choice of this ‘Third Person’ is excellent. Make good use of his ‘Sensing’; I have a feeling your outing this time will yield great results.”
As Instructor Beili reported the team’s information, the organization’s higher-ups immediately took special note of the unique name ‘Ludwig Reagan’ as soon as they received the report.
Immediately, they dispatched a thin, black-clad gentleman wearing a demon mask to bring a hand-copied document of the team to someone.

Clad only in floating feather wings, as if bathing in the starry sky, Principal Daislin received the secret document delivered by the organization’s higher-ups.
When she saw the name on it,
a gentle chuckle reverberated through the principal’s office,
and her wings unfolded,
