I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 366: Chapter 243: Quickening Pace
 

Days passed by.

During this time, the Silver Dragon Trade Association’s second batch of supernatural materials had been delivered, and various circus players had completed their quests and came to request upgrades for their tokens.

Chen Lun was busy with brewing while also helping players upgrade their Silver Serpent Rings.

Life was quite fulfilling.

One day, he suddenly received a letter from the shelter.

The sender was not an ordinary investigator but Ralph, the current administrator and special envoy of Amber City’s shelter.

Chen Lun was surprised when he received the message. He initially thought his anonymous “whistleblowing” had been exposed, but after Ralph’s introduction, he learned that the other party had come to deliver an important message.

Jack’s estate.

The living room of the villa.

Currently, only Ralph and Chen Lun were present.

Chen Lun brewed a cup of tea for Ralph and politely handed it over.

“Although this is our first meeting, I have known about you for a long time, Mr. Jack,” Ralph said after taking a sip.

He then proceeded to recount Chen Lun’s “resume,” including his initial escape from Emerald Town’s Red Apple Church, the burning of the local church, subsequent arrival in Amber City, and his experiences with the gallery incident and the square battle, among other things.

Observing Ralph recount his deeds so thoroughly, Chen Lun was somewhat taken aback.

“Mona has praised you to me more than once, saying that you are a righteous and kind transcendent who is not part of any faction, but I did not think so at first… not until this time when you exposed the Red Apple Church’s plot to spread the plague,” Ralph stood up and reverently placed his hand on his chest as a salute.

“On behalf of the shelter, I salute you, Mr. Jack.”

“It was merely a trifle, Mr. Ralph, no need for such formality,” Chen Lun said with a smile, waving his hand to indicate that Ralph should sit down.

“After all, I also live on this land and have witnessed many innocent people suffering from the plague… It was a disaster caused by supernatural powers, and naturally, I could not stand idly by.”

“Ah…” Ralph appeared moved.

“You are a humble person of noble character, I had many prejudices against you in the past… for that, I apologize.”

“Prejudice is common among people; aren’t we now having tea and chatting like friends?” Chen Lun refilled Ralph’s cup with tea, appearing nonchalant.

Ralph smiled and nodded his head.

“Thank you… Mr. Jack, I came here personally this time because Mona has asked me to…”

“Hmm?” Chen Lun sounded puzzled.

Ralph sighed and told Chen Lun that due to some issues, Mona had been transferred away from Amber City to Sunflower City.

At the same time, he briefly explained his relationship with Mona and the fact that their mutual teacher, “Rudolf Teka,” was in fact the “Tragedy Writer Howard.”

“Howard is now listed as an ‘S-Class Fugitive’ by the Empire, and the upper echelons are still investigating His purposes for hiding in the shelter for many years, always staying on alert… But Mona has been deeply affected, recently becoming like a different person, silent and taciturn,” Ralph shook his head.

He took out a letter from his chest and pushed it across the coffee table.

“To be on the safe side, she asked me to hand you this letter personally and to advise you to leave Amber City as soon as possible… That’s the only thing she could do now,” Ralph said, then he stood up and left.

Chen Lun saw him off to the gate of the estate.

After Ralph walked away, he stopped, turned back to look towards Chen Lun, who had now disappeared from sight, and silently lamented.

“I do not wish for someone like you to be suppressed just like that. I wish you luck.”

Chen Lun returned to the living room of the villa alone.

Sitting on the sofa, he opened the letter.

Mona relayed a piece of intelligence in the letter.

She indicated that due to the recent upheaval caused by the Red Apple Church, the Sun Church would send one of the Solar Monastery’s Twelve Bishops, Archbishop Terence, to personally station in Fossil City to ensure the stability of the entire Gem State.

Over the years, although the Tragedy Writer Howard had been hiding in Fossil City’s shelter while impersonating Rudolf Teka, serving as the Judge, he had been doing an excellent job.

If He had not been exposed, He could have ascended to even higher positions within the shelter in the future, such as taking a senior role at the Royal City’s shelter headquarters or becoming one of the Nine Great Judges of the Imperial Judgment Group, and so on.

After His defection, the vacant position of Judge at Fossil City’s shelter was difficult to fill with an appropriate candidate for a time, forcing the appointment of a special envoy with limited experience to temporarily take charge.

As a result, the voice of authority in the entire Fossil City would surely fall into Terence’s hands.

The Sun Church has always been domineering, and Terence is a prime example.

Not only is He ruthless, but He is also extremely powerful, and when it comes time to settle accounts with the Red Apple Church in the Gem State, He is likely to also casually investigate the reason behind the recent disappearance of the “Lamp Protector Squad.”

Mona already knew that the “Lamp Protector Squad” had apparently visited Jack’s estate.

So she wrote the letter to warn Chen Lun.@@novelbin@@

Regardless of whether there is evidence proving Chen Lun’s connection to the disappearance of the “Lamp Protector Squad,” the outcome certainly will not be good.

This is the conclusion Mona has drawn based on past history.

After reading the letter, Chen Lun snapped his fingers, and flames burst out from his right hand, incinerating the letter.

He leaned back on the sofa, feeling the pressure inside his heart grow slightly heavier.

‘I didn’t expect them to act so quickly…’
