The curtains fell, blocking Lex's view, and no one inside the carriage noticed what had just happened by the river.
Lex decided to forget it, pretending he hadn't seen anything and nothing had happened.
This month in Tingen City, danger lurked everywhere, and this was perhaps one of them.
The next day, after Lex got up and washed, he summoned the 'mysterious book' in his room.
Collection: 6000+
Record: Your adventure biography has received over 6000 collection follows, and you have gained 6 uses of the 'message board' privilege.
Under the previous message asking for a boundary, other Watchers had left comments.
'Willful Roujiamo:'
Was this a major secret that was revealed? I really wish the knowledge authority could be higher.
'Exploding Dragon Twelve Wings: Remember to stay away from houses with red chimneys.'
Houses with red chimneys? That feature is quite distinctive and easy to remember.
'First Moon Disciple: Don't worry about anything, it should be fine as long as you don't get close to the security company.'
This must be referring to the Blackthorn Security Company, it seems a great danger will indeed erupt there.
Lex then looked at the comments in the book review section below.
'Mr. Chenran: It suddenly occurred to me, you've been in contact with Maynard, so you need to be careful. Maynard's lover is Sharon, who is a Witch, and she's in the 'story' of Tingen City.'
Upon seeing this message, Lex nearly jumped up. Councilor Maynard's lover was actually Madam Sharon, and she was a Witch, and she was in the 'story'.
Have I been walking through a minefield? No, no, I can't go see Maynard again.
Hmm, could Maynard's coughing up strange smoke be related to the Witch? If so, what about Mr. McGovern?
Fortunately, I now have the 'silent night's embrace,' as long as I stay away from the 'story' and its characters, I should not be watched.
'Shaman King: Hmm, Lex should also learn to report. It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. Find a reliable official organization, after all, an individual's strength is limited~'
Reporting, I'm good at that.
If I find an official organization, it shouldn't be difficult with my identity as the Baron's son. After my trip to Tingen City is over, I will strive to find a backer.
'Bright Moon Shines on Cold Pines: "uniqueness" is the physical symbol of the authority corresponding to the Sequence it belongs to.
The wielder of "uniqueness" can influence the corresponding power of the same Sequence, enhancing or suppressing all Beyonder abilities of the same Pathway. This is the manifestation of authority. In that Sequence, the wielder of "uniqueness" is the authority, the source of power.'
Did this Watcher perceive my previous question? I'm so grateful, for giving me such important knowledge!
Although some parts were blocked, it's not hard to imagine that the wielder of 'uniqueness' is like a 'King' to Beyonder of the same Sequence.
I hope that one day, I can also wield 'uniqueness'.
What would the 'uniqueness' of the Hunter Pathway be?
'Wither & Star Scar: I want to see a Witch!!!'
Cough, this Watcher is very interested in Witches, are Witches that good-looking?
Presumably, the knowledge about 'uniqueness' consumed a lot of spirituality. After reading only a few pieces of information, Lex felt his spirituality warning him, so he ended the summoning, put on his formal attire, and walked out of the bedroom.
However, although the information he saw was not much, it was very useful.
Not to mention the knowledge of 'uniqueness,' the other Watchers' messages made the 'boundary' of his trip to Tingen City clearer, and also gave him a more definite goal for his next plan.
After breakfast, Lex called Gru: "I heard there's a Private Detective Agency on Besik Street in Tingen City. Go find a Detective named Henry and talk to him about the attack we encountered last night."
"I want the Detective to investigate the identity of the assassin for us. Although the police are certainly working on this, it's always good to have extra help."
The bodyguard nodded: "I'll go right away, sir."
After Gru left, the butler Matthew came in with an envelope: "Sir, this is your telegram."
Lex took it and said: "Go buy some small gifts, I'm going to the hospital later to visit a friend."
Recently, he had been busy with Hunter activities and other things, and hadn't visited Kyle and his wife for a long time. With no activities planned for the day, Lex decided to go to the hospital.
After Matthew left, Lex opened the envelope and took out the telegram.
This was a letter from Bison.
'I have received your letter. You did very well to get important news from Councilor Maynard so quickly.'
'It seems the aristocratic circle will undergo significant changes in the near future. Your early access to such news allows us to plan calmly.'
'After much consideration, I have made a decision. After you finish your work in Tingen City, I will have an arrangement for you. You may suffer a bit, but believe me, this matter will be of great help to our family and to you.'
'Additionally, we all miss you very much. Your mother goes to church to pray every day, Harribel has been rather gloomy lately because of your departure, and Joe keeps asking me when you will return.'
'Son, take care of yourself.'
An arrangement for me?
It seems I need to proceed with that matter as soon as possible.
I probably cannot stay in Tingen City for long.
Mom and Bell will miss me, I have no doubt. As for you, your missing me is probably not the same as I understand it.
Lex returned to his bedroom, took out paper and pen, and drafted a telegram, briefly stating his meeting with McGovern yesterday and telling Bison that he had been attacked, to see if he could get other information from his adoptive father.
After Matthew returned, they went out together, first to send the telegram, and then to the private hospital.
In the carriage, Lex took out the Horse Riding Club magazine and started reading it.
This magazine summarized some exciting activities of the club and Tingen City's high society this month. Lex saw that a painting exhibition was held in the South District of Tingen City these days, and he considered whether he should attend to match his noble status.
In a flash, they arrived at the hospital.
In the private ward, Lex met the former Hunter Kyle. He was in high spirits, with bright eyes, completely different from when Lex first met him.
"The doctor said we can be discharged today."
In the corridor outside the ward, Kyle said with a smile: "By the way, come to my house this afternoon, I have something to discuss with you."
"What a coincidence, I also have something I'd like Mr. Kyle to help with. You still have the spirit of a challenger, don't you?"
Kyle glanced at him and said: "As for 'Provocation,' you've improved remarkably."
Lex laughed, spread his hands and said: "Alright then, let's meet at a cafe. Although Ms. Lanci has recovered, it's best for her to rest for a while longer, so let's not disturb her at home."
This was one of the reasons.
More importantly, Kyle's house was on Daffodil Street, which in Lex's eyes was now a minefield! A forbidden zone!
