Chapter 157: Chapter 157: The Wealthy Woman Wants to Find Stimulation

Though Feng Xue had glossed over the details, Jessica could still imagine how magnificent the scene must have been—several or perhaps a dozen people from all corners of the world taking oaths before the pact, then escaping from the clutches of slavers to establish an organization engaged in vigilante justice...

Do not think that only the people of Yan Country harbor dreams of chivalry; Victoria, too, has its own Robin Hood-like heroes.

But soon, Jessica’s expression turned somewhat frustrated because such stories simply could not be published under the name "exclusive interview"!

Even if she could use her editorial powers to get the interview published, in the eyes of the readers, it would only be seen as a piece of fiction written by a reporter based on the legend of the "Demon Coin."

And by serializing a novel in a newspaper, she could never transform the newspaper into anything grand...

Suddenly, an idea struck Jessica’s brain like lightning, sprouting from the depths of her heart—

In the end, why did she want to be a war correspondent?

The so-called justice was actually secondary; the most fundamental reason was her desire for excitement!

So, what could be more thrilling than becoming an assassin?

To seek justice for those who could not obtain it through the law—what a stimulating thought!

With this idea taking root, the restlessness in Jessica’s heart had become unstoppable, and she even felt a certain physical pleasure.

She blurted out eagerly,

"Can I become an Executioner? Or join Libra?"

"No," came the decisive refusal with a shake of the head in response to Jessica.

Undeterred by this, Jessica continued,

"May I know the reason? I am willing to adhere to the ten pacts, and if there’s anything I lack, I can make amends immediately. And don’t be fooled by my gender; I am very strong!"

"It’s not for that reason." Feng Xue looked at the rich lady before him and could only shake his head with regret,

"If the Contract were still available, I wouldn’t mind adding more people, but unfortunately, after the Contract was formed, each of the seven people retained a part of it. I only have the pact for a ’Strong Body’ here; of course, ’Slaughter Skill’ and ’Concealing Breath Skill’ are Knowledge, so if one wishes to teach, they can be taught, but I am powerless regarding the rest."

"So that means the Contract was divided into seven parts, each held by one person? Well, which part does Mr. ’Cooking’ hold?" Jessica asked with curiosity, but Feng Xue remained silent, which made Jessica immediately realize that this too fell under the category of "probing for identity," and she could only keep her mouth shut for the time being.

However, she was now fairly certain that the person before her was definitely a member of the Libra organization, and it was very likely that he was the so-called "language genius."

As for why he still looked youthful despite being over a hundred years old, it could be because of the so-called "Strong Body," or perhaps the power of the Contract itself, or maybe he had become a demon of Hell after death, and for some reason, had returned to the mortal world...

Regardless, it was certain that he had extraordinary abilities.

The opponent had managed to appear in the changing room without a sound, which must have been a manifestation of the "Concealing Breath Skill". Being able to extract tons of gold from the Central Bank and infiltrate the prison to assassinate murderers showed prowess in "Slaughter Skill". Those coins that could directly enforce a trade were likely embodiments of "Endless Wealth". "Mortal Support", "Sense of Justice", "Arrow Avoidance Protection", "Strong Body" hadn’t been witnessed personally yet, but the fact that the opponent had hardly ever been in disguise and yet remained uncaught suggested a reason in that area.

Jessica felt itching at the heart at the inability to be part of such thrilling events, and she even began to regret hastily using up two coins. If she had demanded an exclusive interview with her first coin, perhaps the remaining one could have allowed her to join "Libra"!

Watching Jessica’s conflicted expression, Feng Xue just smiled lightly and said,

"Has your interview concluded? If so, I should be leaving."

"Wait!" Jessica bit her lip and called out to Feng Xue, then said,

"You mentioned you only hold onto one alliance. Can I sign just that one alliance?"

"Quite shrewd..." Feng Xue chuckled inwardly, but also began to contemplate the feasibility of drawing such a wealthy woman into his plans.

According to his original plan, he was to spread this story as a novel on the internet, while simultaneously seeking out suitable individuals in poor areas like "Ghoul Street" and buying their lives with coins, turning them into assassins to become active in Bakerland and throughout Victoria. Eventually, by leading the narrative online, he would connect "Libra" to the "Demon Coins", forming an organization similar to the Continental Hotel, and he, as the origin of the organization, would become something of a Kaidan like the "Original Hassan".

The circulation of coins was actually the least of the problems because as long as he could gather Kaidan entries, he could travel back and forth according to the rules of the Kaidan. And when the organization developed, Demon Coins would become a symbol—after all, coins have ownership, which only transfers through the completion of a trade. Coins obtained by theft or other non-trade means would only be "Unbreakable" coins.

It was foreseeable that once these "magic-powered" coins started to draw attention, there would likely be no shortage of crafty grabs for them. By that time, many coins would likely become "Wasted Coins", which was, of course, part of Feng Xue’s plan.

The only issue was that this plan could take a very long time.

Now, however, with the arrival of this wealthy woman, everything was different.

First, owning a newspaper, she could more legitimately acquire "unjust" information through her "journalists", an excellent avenue for intelligence.

Second, she was very rich, and while he did not know exactly how much she had, it would certainly be more than enough to buy traffic. If she hired gunmen, it would certainly be more efficient than him leading the narrative online.

On the flip side, this little rich woman joining the organization would inevitably bring trouble along with the advantages—

Unlike those ruffians from the slums, who no one cared about whether they lived or died, a young lady protected by a bodyguard in the shadows would easily attract attention, whether carrying out assassinations or doing logistical work.

As for enlightenment, that was not an issue, because Feng Xue could simply make an alliance through a coin trade.

If a contract could not be made, it would prove that the other party did not recognize the trade—this was an unspoken rule Feng Xue learned from the "Come Home with Me" transaction.

Normally, ten thousand dollars would not be enough for him to go with a stranger to an unfamiliar place, but the deal was successful. After careful self-analysis, he felt there was only one reason—

The other party was a beauty.

Only if a beautiful woman with no ill intent invited him to her place would Feng Xue agree by default.

In short, his subconscious accepted this transaction, so even if the "money wasn’t enough", he was okay with it.

Although this should serve as a warning to Feng Xue, realizing this actually made him happy, because it at least proved that his XP had not been twisted by that filter into something strange.
