Chapter 295: Inheritance Troubles
The Black Knife Brotherhood relies on the three Black Knife killers in Peacock City.
But they were like young children in front of Chen Lun, and they were all killed in less than two minutes.
After Chen Lun killed these three people, he used the power of [Moonlight in Palm] to summon the soul of Viscount Harrington, conducted a detailed inquiry, and finally confirmed the opportunity he had been looking for. The secret is stored in the study room of his villa.
Later, Chen Lun used the objects carried by the Black Knife Killer to divine the underground stronghold of the Black Knife Brotherhood in Peacock City, and flew directly there using "Air Walk".
Then he went on a killing spree.
A group of low-sequence extraordinary beings were slaughtered wantonly like clean pigs in the face of unrivaled power. A small number of members who were outside were lucky enough to escape, but Chen Lun was too lazy to look for them one by one. They were already out of shape anyway.
In just half an hour, he easily eliminated the serious problem in the Peacock City Asylum, and then slowly returned to the winery.
Like a leisurely gentleman, he just went home after buying candy for a walk.
Halfway through, Chen Lun took some of his attention and focused on the task rewards after settlement.
In addition to the basic experience points and currency, he also successfully obtained hidden rewards, namely "1 blessing point" and "favorability with the senior management of the Royal City Asylum". After all, the mission goal was to investigate the mastermind and prevent the auction from proceeding, but Chen Lun flipped the table and killed everyone to only two or three shrimps. It was overfulfilled in any way.
But this hidden reward surprised Chen Lun.
‘There is actually a blessing point, and it also involves the headquarters of the Royal City Shelter...’
Chen Lun couldn't speculate on the specific reason for the time being, but he felt that it shouldn't be a bad thing.

After returning to the winery, Chen Lun, Floy and others said hello, then sat on the sofa and began to sort out their harvest.
He first upgraded the experience points accumulated during this period.
Hunting down the Red Apple Church in Galena City and destroying the Black Knife Brotherhood add up to about 100,000 experience points. Plus mission rewards, the total is almost 150,000.
Chen Lun directly upgraded [Sequence 6 - Trapeze] to level 26, and the panel attributes were improved again. Although he has reached the threshold of a Sequence 6 Transcendent, this is the benefit brought by the upgrade of his main profession and has not been reduced.
It should be as much as it should be.
It's just that Chen Lun doesn't plan to add more attribute points to the obtained points, because there will be a profit penalty. It takes 2 attribute points to add 1 attribute point, which is not cost-effective.
So he chose to save the attribute points first. It would be best if he could accumulate them to sequence 5 before using them, but if he had no choice, he would use them temporarily.
Finally, he gave the hard-earned 1 blessing point to [Natural Favor (Blessing)] again, raising it to LV4. The current effect is to increase all attributes by 4 and [Animal Tamer] skills by 4.
As a result, nine of the ten memory slots of [Animal Mimicry] can currently accommodate extraordinary biological characteristics.
‘Very good...work harder and upgrade your main profession as soon as possible! ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
‘If you encounter suitable extraordinary creature characteristics, you can also perform a wave of updates, just like [Ultimate Beauty]. ’

The unexpected death of Viscount Harrington brought turmoil and chaos to his family.
Miss Tracy finally regained her freedom and no one restricted her going out.
But at the same time, she was also caught up in the grief of losing her father.
The day after Viscount Harrington was killed by a stray bullet, his body was buried as scheduled. Many members of the Harrington family, dressed in black, attended the funeral.
That night, Tracy came to the winery by accident and found Chen Lun.
Chen Lun bravely invited Miss Tracy into the winery and asked her to sit on the sofa and complain, while he listened silently.
"Mr. Jack, I don't know what to do...I am very sad now, but also very angry. Those uncles and aunts are quarreling over my father's property and title at this moment."
Chen Lun was a little confused.
After questioning, he found out that Viscount Harrington had no sons, but only three daughters. The eldest daughter was Miss Tracy, and she also had two young and ignorant sisters.
Although it stands to reason that Tracy has full inheritance rights, she told Chen Lun that those relatives also have a lot of power, and they have many ways to take away everything that belongs to them.
Her mother has a weak personality and cannot help her at all.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and had some ideas in his mind.
Now he already knows the location of [Class B Magical Artifact - Hope Workshop], which is in the Viscount's study. He can get it at any time.
Why not take the opportunity to go there, help Tracy ascend to the throne, and inherit everything from Viscount Harrington, so that he can also get some help from the Harrington family when looking for second and third opportunities.
"Miss Trier, if you believe me, I can help you get everything that originally belongs to you."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
Tracy was suddenly stunned.
She didn't expect that someone would help her when she was most helpless.
"Thank you, Mr. Jack...I, I don't know what to say."
Tracy was thrilled.
Although in her opinion, Mr. Jack was just a circus magician, she chose to believe him without hesitation in her heart.
She stood up and walked emotionally to Chen Lun, ready to hug him.
"Ahem."
From the corner of his eye, Chen Lun caught a glimpse of a figure in a black dress on the stairs. He immediately stood up and declined Miss Tracy's hug.
And showed a polite smile:
"It's getting late. Let me take you back, Miss Trier."
"Ah...Okay, Mr. Jack."
Tracy was a little disappointed, but nodded obediently.
Until the two of them walked out of the villa gate, Chen Lun felt like a light on his back.
It seemed like there were fish crawling all over my body.

The next morning.
The estate of Viscount Harrington.
In the villa hall, the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Several middle-aged gentlemen and ladies were sitting on luxurious leather chairs, each of them with a gloomy face and said nothing. The three lawyers in suits and ties didn't dare to show their dignity. They just wiped their sweat and sorted the documents on the table.
Tracy sat alone on the main seat, next to her mother, Mrs. Harrington, with her two young sisters in her arms. She looked at these relatives helplessly, with pleading eyes.
But the middle-aged gentleman and lady chose to turn a blind eye.
"Miss Tracy, please sign under these documents."
One of the bald lawyers walked up to Tracy, gently placed the document on the table, and handed over a pen. His expression was smiling and his tone was respectful.
Tracy took the pen and felt a little nervous under the burning eyes of her uncle and aunt.
But when she thought of Mr. Jack's promise to her last night, she couldn't help but feel a little more relieved.
"I won't sign."
Tracy put down the pen and said decisively.
"Huh?"
A middle-aged gentleman stood up, held the wooden cane in his hand, strode to Tracy, and looked down at her.
"Terrier, didn't we have an agreement yesterday? As long as you give up inheriting my brother's inheritance, we can ensure that Mrs. Harrington, you and your two sisters will have enough food and clothing, and will not be bullied by outsiders."
"I changed my mind... This is what belongs to me originally, and I don't want to give it away for nothing."
Tracy gritted her teeth and looked up at her uncle.
"Heh... Trier, you are still too young."
The middle-aged gentleman sneered and shook his head.
The slightly fat lady also stood up, staggered to the table, knocked on the documents, and said indifferently:
"Even if you don't sign, you won't be able to get even a little bit of the Viscount's property... Don't forget, we more or less hold a share of the family's property. Without your father's support, they will be eaten up sooner or later. Clean..."
The lady's face looked a little impatient.
She and her brothers argued for most of the night before dividing up Viscount Harrington's property, but today, the situation was lost with this little girl.
It’s really disturbing!
Just then.
Miss Tracy suddenly turned her head and saw something, with a look of joy on her face.
Two figures, one tall and one short, followed the housekeeper into the hall.
"Mr. Jack! You are finally here!"
She stood up quickly and said happily.
At the same time, the anxiety in my heart also disappeared at this moment.
"Miss Trier, I'm not too late."
Chen Lun smiled and said hello.
Tracy shook her head and looked at the fair boy next to Mr. Jack. The latter wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and had a shy smile on his face.
She didn't know why Mr. Jack came with a teenager, but she didn't ask any more questions.
"Terrier, is this the lawyer you hired?"
The middle-aged gentleman looked Chen Lun up and down and sneered.
"I'm just Miss Trier's friend."
Chen Lun showed a polite smile.
"Friends?"
The lady suddenly laughed, stretched out a fat finger with two gemstone rings, and pointed it at Chen Lun.
"I know you...the magician at the City Garden Theater! But what qualifications do you have to be friends with the Harrington family? You are just a mean trickster!"
"Aunt! You are so rude!"
Miss Tracy was a little angry.
The lady's face turned cold, she ignored the angry Tracy, looked at Chen Lun with unabashed contempt, and scolded:
"Now, get out of here right away...or you will be severely punished by security! You will never be able to hold up your ridiculous magic wand in this life!"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows and shrugged.
"Forget it, I originally planned to reason with you...but now it seems there is no need."
He patted Noah on the shoulder and whispered:
"I'll leave this to you, Noah."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jack."
Noah chuckled.
Chen Lun turned to Miss Tracy and said:
"Miss Trier, could you please take me for a casual tour of the villa."
"Ah... no problem, Mr. Jack."
Tracy was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile.
"It's just..."
She looked at her uncle and aunt again. Their faces were livid at the moment, and they seemed to be on the verge of rage.
Tracy was a little worried, afraid that they would do something to hurt Mr. Jack.
"Despicable bastard! An outsider dares to point fingers here!"
The middle-aged gentleman was furious and raised his cane to hit Chen Lun on the head. (End of chapter)
