Chapter 891 - 891 461 The Bronze Key Obtained (4100)

Chapter 891: 461 The Bronze Key Obtained! (4100) Chapter 891: 461 The Bronze Key Obtained! (4100) At the Augustus Manor, the exchange between the two men was drawing to a close.

Casio had led the Clinic in annihilating the Lunar Eclipse Meeting’s northern branch, making a great contribution, so the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism naturally agreed to his request. He immediately promised that Casio could choose from the Treasure Vault the next day.

Furthermore, regarding Casio’s second demand—or rather, it couldn’t be considered a demand, but more like a notification from the head of the Clinic—the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. Right after he agreed, he shifted the topic to the Lunar Eclipse Meeting.

After exchanging a few casual words with Casio, he soon subtly revealed his own agenda: “The Lunar Eclipse Meeting is a particularly dangerous organization among the Dark Creature Tribe, with strong influence in the northern and eastern parts of the Empire. Since you’ve led the Clinic in eradicating their foremost northern branch, you may face retaliation in the coming period. Be careful when you inspect the various branches of the Clinic throughout the Empire, as the Lunar Eclipse Meeting is likely to target you for assassination…”

Casio nodded.

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism continued, “How about this, the Dark Hunt Headquarters has actually been gathering intelligence on the Lunar Eclipse Meeting for decades, accumulating a lot of useful information. This includes the exact locations of certain Lunar Eclipse Meeting branches in some counties, as well as the forces that have close ties with the Lunar Eclipse Meeting, which might be of reference value to your trip…”

“When you come to the Headquarters tomorrow, I will have Thomas compile all this intelligence in detail, as a trivial form of assistance.”

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism spoke at length, with eyes devoid of any ripples, appearing quite sincere. On the surface, he seemed to be showing concern for a subordinate.

Casio lightly smiled with an expressionless face and said, “Thank you.”

Under the moonlight, on the balcony. Two men with formidable auras exchanged glances, as if seeing the hidden thoughts in each other’s eyes.

Yet neither of them pointed it out; they just exchanged faint smiles.

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism had said a lot, and though it was the truth and he provided assistance, handing over all the detailed data about the Lunar Eclipse Meeting to Casio was not without a hidden agenda. To put it plainly, it was using Casio as a borrowed knife. Perhaps he also wanted to test Casio’s strength again.

The Lunar Eclipse Meeting, as a formidable Dark Creature Tribe organization, can be considered a tumor in the northern and eastern parts of the Hong Li Empire. It has always been a headache for the Dark Hunt Organization, which is unable to act against it. Even when they occasionally take action, it is only to trim some of the foe’s branches, while the roots remain robust. There was nothing that could be done; the Dark Hunt had to also guard against the Door Organization and couldn’t commit all their forces to suppress the Lunar Eclipse Meeting. And if only part of their power was dispatched, the Lunar Eclipse Meeting in possession of the Moon God statue was not easy to provoke.

Thus, for hundreds of years, the symptoms were treated but not the disease, and the problems would reoccur like weeds after the spring breeze.

Now, however, the situation had taken a turn.

The mysteriously powerful Casio had suddenly made his appearance, rapidly rebuilding a Clinic in a short time. Moreover, all the staff of the Clinic were prisoners on the verge of execution from the Wild Beast den, who erupted with astounding combat power and lust for battle once under Casio’s control. From an outsider’s perspective, the Dark Hunt Organization seemed to suddenly have powerful external support.

This external support was aggressive and targeted specifically at the enemies of the Dark Hunt Organization. In a very short time, it had destroyed at least a third of the Lunar Eclipse Meeting’s foundation, with astonishing efficiency. It was undoubtedly a very sharp cleaver.

To use as a borrowed knife to kill troublesome heretics and hostile factions that the Dark Hunt Headquarters found headache-inducing was perfect! What the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism meant was, Casio, aren’t you going to leave Florence to travel around the Hong Li Empire? Then take your excessively brutal subordinates and eradicate the problem of the Lunar Eclipse Meeting on the way! The Headquarters will support you with intelligence.

Casio was indifferent to this, or rather, it suited him just fine.

The Lunar Eclipse Meeting, the Moon God statue possessed by the Moon God Sect, was an excellent item indeed! It was highly probable that within each Moon God statue, there was a piece of the rotten flesh of the ultimate form of the Dark Moon God. Devouring the flesh of an ultimate Dark entity could allow Casio’s Magic puppet secret weapon to further mutate, increasing the potential limit.

Therefore, the cooperation between both parties was actually mutually beneficial.

A true win-win.

Casio was not opposed to it.

At 7:30 in the evening, the banquet had been going on for an hour and a half.

Casio and the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism concluded their conversation.

The Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism had other affairs to attend to, and he promptly walked from the balcony into the Hall with Aaron, notifying Count Augustus before leaving.

In the semicircular balcony, only Casio was left, enjoying the evening breeze.

He was in a good mood that day, and seemed quite at ease. One hand rested on the varnished wooden railing, cold and smooth, while the other was tucked into the pocket of his trench coat, hanging at his side. The evening breeze, carrying the fragrance of the garden’s flowers from beyond the balcony, gently wafted, lifting the corners of his coat.

Casio half-closed his eyes, gazing towards the dark sky in the east.

Calculating the time, the Fog Man and the Nine snakes should be nearing the Alfama Mountains soon.

He hoped that they would be swift in action; whoever it was, or whatever force possessed the Magic Box, they should fiercely invade and seize the Magic Box!

Casio was in need of the capabilities of the Devil’s Book, as he had long wanted to have the Devil’s Book back by his side. For instance, the tasks received by the Ghost Iron Knights at the Black Rain Villa, each one pointed to precious resources or secrets in the World of Calamities. However, the mission information was incomplete, making it difficult to locate the targets, and the process was dangerous and hard to complete. Yet, with the Devil’s Book, it might be a different story, as it could potentially direct Casio’s path and produce a map. All he would need to do is follow it.
