Chapter 175 Mr. A Makes a Slight Move
Audrey Hall, who came to attend the gathering of extraordinary individuals, realized as soon as Raphael, wearing a mask and hood, entered, that the person who came in was not Mr. C.
When Raphael introduced himself as "Mr. A," Audrey, Hugh, and Fors Wall, whom Raphael did not know, were all taken aback.
They had all met the previous Mr. A. The mission to assassinate the Intis Republic's ambassador was issued to Mr. A by Hugh and Fors. He was a powerful extraordinary being.
But the Mr. A in front of us is clearly not that Mr. A.
The previous Mr. A gave the impression of someone trying hard to suppress madness, while this Mr. A now appears very calm, or rather, very reserved.
Many people noticed this, and at the same time they realized that the original Mr. A was dead, and that a new messenger had been given the code name "Mr. A".
Raphael glanced at Audrey and the others before saying, "Let's begin."
The gathering began as usual. Raphael was not actually in charge of the specific affairs; everything was handled by two "lower-rank" members and several waiters according to the original rules.
Raphael's main role is to use a magical item from the "Reader" pathway to perform appraisals for everyone and provide necessary deterrence.
Generally speaking, people who attend parties know more or less about the background of the party organizer, so they usually don't cause trouble.
But they are extraordinary after all, and when what they have been waiting for for years finally appears, but they do not have enough gold pounds, they may take the risk.
Raphael's role was to ensure that such risky actions did not disrupt the normal order of the gathering.
Sitting below, Audrey was constantly observing Mr. A, intentionally or unintentionally. She noticed that many of his body language habits and voice sounded very much like Raphael's.
But Raphael had never revealed that he might become a divine messenger, and the divine messengers of the Aurora Society—especially the one in charge of Backlund—were already middle to high-ranking members of this extraordinary organization. How could he suddenly become a divine messenger?
But then Audrey remembered that Raphael seemed to have been under house arrest for the past ten days or so, which might have prevented messages from getting out.
As Audrey had predicted, Raphael was not finding an opportunity to deliver the message, and the Fool had been very busy these past few days, so no one answered Raphael's prayers. As a result, none of the members of the Tarot Club knew that he was now a messenger of God.
Audrey observed for a while longer, and her ability to "observe" confirmed that Raphael was the one hosting the party today.
But Audrey didn't make a fuss, because now was not a good time to make contact. Even if she quietly told Hugh and Fors, there was a risk of Raphael being exposed.
Then we might as well wait. If Raphael becomes a divine messenger, he will definitely be able to obtain higher-level information, which will also benefit the Tarot Society.
Sure enough, someone took the risk halfway through the transaction.
A Sequence 7 player encountered a main material for advancing to Sequence 6, but after several rounds of bidding, it had completely exceeded his budget.
This situation is common at extraordinary gatherings. For untrained extraordinary individuals without connections, the path to advancement is inherently arduous. They often spend years searching before finding even one piece of material they need.
The only difference is that if the host of the party is powerful enough, they will choose to remain silent and continue to wait.
But today, Mr. A clearly didn't have much of a presence, so the Sequence 7 wanted to give it a try.
The moment he suddenly attacked, Raphael used the "Hypnotic Ring" to "hypnotize" him, leaving him standing there in a daze.
Then Raphael broke off the armrest of the chair and threw it at the Sequence 7 man as a throwing knife.
puff~
The immense force caused the handrail to pierce the opponent's chest, knocking Sequence 7 to the ground as well, while several extraordinary individuals nearby quickly dodged away.
But they were a little slow to dodge.
Sequence 7 woke up from the "hypnosis" with a pained expression. Just as he was about to struggle to get up, Raphael had already infused the "Rose Handkerchief" with spirituality.
puff~
With another muffled thud, Raphael used "Flesh Magic" to blast open the wound of the Sequence 7, exploding his internal organs.
The Sequence 7 man's eyes first showed disbelief, then despair, as he felt his life rapidly slipping away.
Several people around were splattered with blood and flesh. Two of them quickly brushed the flesh off their bodies, while the remaining five stood there dumbfounded.
At this moment, Raphael, who had been sitting in his chair, said lazily, "Now we're selling his extraordinary abilities. He is—sorry, I don't know what path he took to become an extraordinary being."
It's not that his observation skills weren't good enough; the other party simply didn't have a chance to make a move.
Not far away, an extraordinary individual attending the gathering said, "He—he's a Sequence 7 arsonist from the Hunter pathway."
Raphael nodded. "Thank you."
Then he continued, "1250 pounds, anyone interested?"
At this moment, most people were still in a daze. Most of the people who came to this gathering were "low-sequence" extraordinary individuals. They felt that they had not yet come to their senses. A Sequence 7 was killed so cleanly and neatly—in fact, this "arsonist" was not completely dead yet.
Mr. A, the host of this gathering, was already selling the extraordinary characteristics of an "arsonist."
However, some extraordinary individuals had already reacted. After all, the circle of wild extraordinary individuals is chaotic and cruel, and some extraordinary individuals who have seen certain scenes will not be frightened by this bit of bloodshed.
This sequence level 7 characteristic is rarely seen in extraordinary gatherings that are dominated by "low sequences".
Soon two people joined the bidding, and it was eventually sold for £1380.
The waiter handed the money to Mr. A, who roughly checked the amount with his fingertip to make sure it was correct. He then told the waiter to move the body to a corner and have the extraordinary person who bought the special feature wait there.
Those present at the meeting saw that, even at this point, the "arsonist" was still alive.
In other words, he heard the entire bidding process for his features and the final transaction.
One can even imagine how desperate the "arsonist" must have felt at that moment.
Soon the waiters began wiping away the blood and cleaning up the pieces of flesh. A few minutes later, apart from the lingering smell of blood in the air and the bloodstains on the people around them, it was impossible to tell that someone had just died there.
Raphael took out eight pounds from the stack of gold pounds he had just received and said to the waiter, "Twenty pounds of these are to compensate the attendees who were splattered with blood and flesh, and to sincerely apologize to them for accidentally soiling their clothes."
"The other 40 pounds is a bonus for the waiters."
He paused for a moment, then said, "The transaction continues."
Audrey, standing in the crowd, felt that Raphael seemed to have become much stronger!
