Chapter 259: Chapter 257: Disassociating Relations

After handing over Liu Shang and the townspeople of Spectrum Town, Wen Wen found Three Cubs and left Spectrum Town.

If not for the living witness of Liu Shang, and the brainwashed townspeople, Wen Wen’s rash provocation of a conflict with Glory Church could have led to punishment or, at least, embroiled him in trouble.

But having confirmed that Glory Church was behind the ordeal, Wen Wen was completely blameless, and may even be credited with a great merit.

And the Hunter Association always had a clear system of rewards and punishments, once the dust settled on this matter, the rewards would be deposited into his account.

Unfortunately, the Hunters Association arrived too quickly, otherwise, Wen Wen wished to gain some additional benefits from the town; after all, he could be considered their savior.

In the superpower society of the Federation, the Hunter Association had always occupied an absolutely dominant position; as long as one had the moral high ground, there was no need to compromise.

To every Hunter, Secret Organizations were nothing but rats hiding in the gutters, who would be crushed under the wheels of the Hunter Association if they dared to leap out.

If all the secret organizations of the Federation could unite against the Hunters Association, they might cause some trouble.

But bringing together these organizations, which have vastly different ideals, might be even harder than leading them to their slaughters.

After all, the main enemy of the Hunters Association was never these secret organizations, but rather the unpredictable ’Inner World’ and the monsters that were always lurking, eyeing the reality.

Therefore, Wen Wen had no interest in involving himself in the partisan strife of Glory Church, where benefits were uncertain, but undoubtedly, it would attract much unwanted attention.

So, Wen Wen decided to quickly deliver the letter to Father Liu Danfeng, get rid of the hot potato, disguise himself, and vanish into Qianhe City to focus on his own affairs.

Having made up his mind, Wen Wen did not waste time and drove to Qianhe City overnight.

Of course, the driver was not Wen Wen, but Three Cubs, while Wen Wen slept in the car.

The next morning, the car entered the territory of Qianhe City, and Wen Wen immediately directed Three Cubs to park in a deserted corner, then stored the vehicle in the Sanctuary.

From the moment he entered the city, Wen Wen did not plan to use his own identity flagrantly, as it would easily draw the attention of Glory Church’s people.

Though he was not afraid of them, having mosquitoes buzzing continuously nearby was still annoying.

After all, the bishop mentioned by Liu Shang resided in Qianhe City.

He activated the ability of his melon peel hat, transforming it into a brown-black felt hat, the black coat became a brown-black overcoat, and he put on a pair of gold wire-rimmed sunglasses with round lenses, with a somewhat blackened cigarette holder in his mouth.

The deep autumn season made Wen Wen’s outfit quite the norm in Qianhe City, thus he did not attract any attention.

Father Liu Danfeng did not live in the large cathedral of Qianhe City but in an ordinary residential neighborhood. As soon as Wen Wen entered the neighborhood, he sensed someone, although just ordinary people, shadowing him from a concealed location, so he did not pay much mind.

The manpower of Glory Church was not yet abundant enough to monitor others with superpower users, and these tails were not even professionals...

The address Yan Xiu had given Wen Wen was 900 in building number three of this neighborhood, but it did not specify the unit number, and it seemed that the building had only eight floors.

Wen Wen scratched his head, entered through the first unit and when he reached the eighth floor, there were no more stairs: "A priest living in such secrecy."

Before Wen Wen could examine it closely, a door suddenly appeared out of a wall on the eighth floor, leading to an upwards staircase.

"Tsk, there really is a ninth floor."

Wen Wen shrugged his shoulders and proceeded directly up the stairs.

His confidence in going straight up was twofold; first, he believed there was no need for Yan Xiu’s teacher to harm him, and second, with the existence of the Sanctuary, even if he was stepping into a dragon’s den, it wouldn’t be a dead end.

As Wen Wen gradually became stronger, he no longer needed to be as calculating and timid as he was at the beginning. In the world of superpower users, he was no longer powerless.

So, since leaving Furong River City, he had not tried to deliberately conceal his abilities whenever he used them.

When he was weak, abilities beyond common sense would bring him trouble.

But as his strength grew, those abilities would only earn him more recognition and attention!

However, remaining vigilant was still necessary; Wen Wen certainly didn’t want to capsize in the gutter.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Wen Wen was immediately impressed; the rooftop bore a small garden with trees, flowers, a small fountain, and even a second-story loft.

"You must be Detective Wen, the one Yan Xiu mentioned on the phone, bringing me a message. I am Liu Danfeng. You are indeed as impressive as A Xiu described," said an elderly man in a wool vest and glasses, approaching Wen Wen with a smile.

Among those Wen Wen had met from Glory Church, Liu Danfeng was the politest, instantly making a good impression.

But Wen Wen didn’t engage in small talk. Instead, he pointed to the garden and asked, "Did you do all this?"

Father Liu said with a smile that apart from the disciples he personally trained, these plants were his proudest creation.

"Every blade of grass, every brick, every tile is my own handiwork. Everyone who has visited praises it without end. Just look at that orchid; I..."

Politely listening to the old man finish, Wen Wen bluntly said, "Did you get approval from the municipal authorities for building here on the rooftop? Building so much could be a burden on the building’s structural load. Could the roots of the plants damage the roofing tiles...?"

The refined and amiable old priest, upon hearing Wen Wen’s words, had veins visibly throbbing at his temples.

Had Wen Wen not been on good terms with his disciple, a Demon Hunter, he might even have left in a huff.

"This is the letter Yan Xiu wanted me to give to you. I haven’t looked at it, but I have a question. You and Yan Xiu can talk on the phone, so why is there a need for me to deliver a letter?"

Liu Danfeng replied with a slightly cooler tone, "Some things cannot be clearly conveyed over the phone."

Wen Wen’s recent barrage of questions had made it difficult for Liu Danfeng to feel enthusiastic about him.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you with your important affairs." Wen Wen said with a slight smile and then turned around to leave.

Wen Wen’s straightforwardness caught Liu Danfeng off guard. He had intended to win over the Demon Hunter, but why did this Demon Hunter come up, unleash a verbal barrage, and then just leave?

He wasn’t playing by the rules at all!

After standing there in a daze for a while, Father Liu let out a wry smile.

Yan Xiu couldn’t have sent an idiot to deliver the letter, so Wen Wen’s attitude must have been deliberate—to antagonize him and then draw a line between them, sparing himself from being bothered again.

"I’m apparently some kind of ferocious beast. The young people these days, they really lack responsibility..."
