I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

```

Whew!

Over the Triet Zoo.

A black shadow skimmed through the air.

"Woohoo! Finally, I can fly!"

Chen Lun pressed one hand down on his hat while laughing and looking down at the city below.

On his back, a pair of enormous black wings had emerged. These were the new trait, "Crow Feather," he acquired from his return visit to the Triet Zoo.

"After advancing to 'Sequence Eight,' the limit of 'Animal Mimicry' has indeed been raised… Flight is truly significant for me!"

Chen Lun felt the strong wind blowing against his face and became somewhat introspective.

Flight was not a difficult feat for Transcendents, but there were almost none who could take to the skies at a Low Sequence. Even the 'Magic Faction' and the 'Nature Faction' could only float or glide at their lower sequences, which was far from true flight.

This meant that Chen Lun had gained another powerful advantage at his current stage.

"With an S-level 'Wake of Insects' bookmark in hand, plus my flying trait, as long as I don't encounter an opponent who can kill me in one hit, escaping should be no problem."

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He who considers retreat beforehand will fight to the end.

Now with an escape route, he could be more audacious in his future planning.

Besides the "Crow Feather," he had also obtained a "Fish Gills" trait on this trip to the zoo, completing the set for combat capabilities on land, sea, and air.

"Mommy, I just saw someone flying in the sky!"

In front of an ice cream cart, a little boy clutched his mother's hand and exclaimed in shock.

"Don't try to trick me; we agreed you could only have one."

The mother handed the change to the vendor in exchange for a double-scoop ice cream and turned around with a stern face to say.

"Really! Really! That person had a pair of black wings!"

The boy pointed at the sky and shouted.

The vendor and the people around all looked up but only saw the evening sun turning the sky a dull yellow—no sign of a person with black wings.

"Lying is a bad habit! When we get home, I'll tell your father to spank you hard!"

The mother, seeing the strange looks from the people around, frowned. She handed the ice cream to the boy, threatening him.

The little boy burst into tears with a wail.

Then he took a bite of the ice cream.

It was apple-flavored, which he hated most, and he cried even louder.

Whew!

Chen Lun landed on top of a tall building, and the wings on his back turned into black feathers and drifted away.

At that moment, the sapphire earrings suddenly lit up.

"You are being watched by 'Historical Retrospection'! Your information is being probed!"

"Judgment effective! Evasion of probing!"

Chen Lun was first startled, then he frowned.

"History and Ritual Association? Is it because I killed the Gentleman...?"

After pondering for a moment, he didn't dwell on it any longer.

With the protection of "Maggie's Tear," the other party shouldn't be able to trace his true identity yet.

...

The next morning.

Chen Lun had just finished breakfast and was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

In the familiar small section, he spotted the secret code of the mystic society once again.

"Tonight is the time for the mystic society meeting again, should I go?"

Chen Lun was hesitant.

Now that he had acquired "Philip's Legacy," he did not want to wade into muddy waters, but today's society code was different.

It discreetly listed a few items that would be up for trade, seemingly added by the members who commissioned the host "Black Skull" to emphasize the importance of tonight's meeting.

Chen Lun saw something he very much desired on the list—

A portion of the Supernatural Knowledge for the hidden path "Sequence Six"!

The hidden path he was on was a blank area in his previous life's memory, so the road ahead for advancement would be tough.

Although he had just advanced to "Sequence Eight," he wanted to pave the way for the future to be safe rather than sorry. The code didn't specify, and he wasn't sure if it was Supernatural Knowledge from the "Destiny Faction."

Chen Lun decided to check out the situation.

If he encountered any trouble, not many could keep him from leaving at his current stage.

But before that, he planned to do a divination for himself.

He touched his fingertip to some tea, his eyes flickering through a fog of chaos. Then he flicked his finger, and droplets splattered onto the newspaper.

```

Shhh...

In a few areas soaked by water droplets, the words inscribed were—"crisis", "conspiracy", "beyond the center", and "wishful thinking".

...

Nightfall descended, with the Purple Moon hanging high in the sky.

The old site of Pompey Manor, the cemetery in the backyard.

The incandescent lamp in the underground crypt emitted a faint sizzling sound, while Black Skull sat at the head, looking at the five people who had arrived.

"Lady 'Fin' is still not here, and it seems Mr. 'Gentleman' won't be coming either."

He said calmly.

"As far as I know, a few days ago, the Shelter deployed a large force to raid Lona Port, capturing a large number of black market merchants involved with the Mystic Realm...

Moreover, the leader of the Dock Gang, Whitley, was killed on the spot. She is very likely to be 'Fin'."

The miser idly toyed with a gold coin, speaking slowly.

The others were shocked upon hearing this news.

"Are you saying that the Shelter has started to make their move against us? Was 'Gentleman' also suppressed by them?"

The large hat of knowledge spun as he asked the miser.

"I didn't say that, what you think is your own business."

The miser replied.

Rustle!

Knowledge stood up, ready to walk outside.

"I will excuse myself from tonight's gathering first. With the situation this urgent, I advise you all to meet less frequently. If things settle down later, I will consider coming back."

Black Skull did not stop him but simply watched indifferently as his figure disappeared into the side door.

"Anyone else want to leave?"

He looked at the remaining four people, Spirit Cat, Iron Hammer, the miser, and Spade.

After a few seconds of silence, Black Skull continued:

"Let's begin the trading segment."

Iron Hammer took out another man-made "Mysterious Object", but the others were not very interested. He put it away expressionlessly and sat in silence.

The miser took out a folded piece of paper, handing it over to Chen Lun.

"This is something you're interested in, Mr. Spade... You can take a look first, this is just a small part."

Chen Lun silently unfolded the paper and glanced at it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

[Supernatural Knowledge of the Destiny Faction (severely incomplete) detected!]

[Destiny Faction][Sequence Six—Aerial Acrobat]

He was quietly delighted, folding the paper back up, and said in a deep voice:

"How much more of this do you have? I need to check first."

"No, that's not according to the rules. I can only tell you that I have about one quarter of the complete version."

The miser said.

Chen Lun frowned, then asked:

"How do you plan to trade?"

"Two C-grade Mysterious Objects plus a Mid Sequence Mysterious Substance."

Stay connected through empire

The miser stated.

"I don't have that much on hand right now. I'll find you for the trade once I'm prepared."

Chen Lun said in a hoarse voice as he handed the folded paper back.

The miser didn't say anything, taking back the paper and nodding, accepting this promise.

After dispersing.

Chen Lun still chose the path through the shoals.

But just as he stepped out of the massive passageway, there was someone already waiting for him on the open ground beside the drainage channel ahead.

"Mr. Spade, we meet again."

The miser removed his skeletal mask, revealing the face of Professor Molimer.

He calmly looked at Chen Lun.

"I'm here to apologize on behalf of my student, but after that, I ask you to die."
