Is it the secret organization established by the Jacob family, the descendants of the Zoroastrian family, and other Extraordinaries on the "thief" path?
What are they looking for me for? Is Quinn a member of their organization? After tracking me down, they decided to avenge him?
It’s impossible, I didn’t search for that kind of badge at the time!
Many thoughts emerged in Gray Lint's mind, and then he suppressed them.
Now is not the time to think about this!
"Jim, hide from the balcony into the next room."
He ordered in a calm low voice.
Jim, who had rarely seen Gray Lint so nervous and serious, was a little flustered for a moment. Without daring to say anything, he quickly jumped to the window sill.
"Ask the lady to wait for me in the living room."
"I'll be there soon."
Afterwards, he quickly put on the ring of command and put the "witch's dressing mirror" into his pocket.
As for "Wrath", he didn't carry it.
It's not that they are afraid of side effects, but that Extraordinaries of the "Stealer" path are often particularly flexible and weird.
Violent equipment like "Rage" is not suitable for use against "Stealer" sequence Beyonders.
The two powerful magical items gave Gray Lint a certain degree of confidence, but he did not rest assured.
Instead, he took out the divination gold coin "Change" and it popped out with a clang.
"This lady who came here had bad intentions."
The gold coin fell straight back into the palm of my hand.
Insufficient pre-information, divination failed.
Putting away the "change" indifferently, Gray Linte straightened his clothes and went to the reception room with an expressionless face.
"We don't seem to know each other, miss."
Gray Linte scrutinized the girl in front of him with an undisguised frown.
The other person seemed to be about the same age as him, with beautiful blond hair. She tied it into a tall ponytail with a blue lace hair rope, revealing a smooth forehead.
The upper body is wearing a small and exquisite tight-fitting leather jacket, and underneath is a white shirt tucked into beige jeans, which embodies the youthfulness of the girl. Under the slender legs are deep calfskin boots.
The most impressive thing is that her dark brown eyes are very clear and bright, as if they can penetrate the darkness of people's hearts.
She did not touch the coffee prepared by the servant, but glanced at the door that Gray Linte had just closed, and her lips parted lightly:
"No need to know each other."
"I just came to confirm something with you."
Her voice is quite light.
Gray Lint didn't answer, the thoughts in his mind were spinning rapidly.
"Quinn's extraordinary characteristics are in your hands?"
The girl's attitude was quite direct, her eyes staring straight into his pupils.
"It can be said like this."
Gray Linte narrowed his eyes slightly in an evasive manner and did not try to deny it.
At the same time, the muscles in his back were tense, and his right hand secretly rubbed the ring, ready to attack at any time.
Now that the other party has found him, he can at least be sure that he killed Quinn.
There is no point in forcing excuses!
"what you up to?"
He asked warily.
The girl frowned slightly at his defensiveness.
"As a noble, you should be an official Beyonder, right?"
"The 'Trickster' trait shouldn't be of much value to you."
"I'm willing to buy back this feature for £800."
The Extraordinary Characteristics of Sequence Eight are generally worth 600 to 700 pounds. Judging from this quotation, Gray Lint believes that the other party has a certain degree of sincerity.
However, it is impossible for him to use the "Scammer" extraordinary characteristic!
Without answering her words, Gray Lint asked instead:
"When my servant informed me just now, he said that you claimed to be the 'Hermit of Destiny'?"
"Is your last name Jacob or Zoroaster?"
"Who are you? Why do you know these two last names?"
The girl stood up suddenly, the panic on her face difficult to conceal.
God knows she was just using the title of the organization to scare Gray Lint, just to take the initiative in the conversation.
She felt that it was impossible for ordinary extraordinary people to know this name.
Who knew that the other party would even reveal the background of her organization?
She quickly glanced at Gray Linte's face and took a step closer to the window, ready to grab the window and escape at any moment.
"Miss, this is the fourth floor."
"The last person who also jumped off the building was Quinn."
Gray Linte gave a brief explanation and reminder, hoping that even if the other party was Quinn's friend, he would not be too hostile to him.
As for exposing the opponent's background, he did it for the two purposes of taking the initiative in the conversation and planning the follow-up formula for Jim.
"Just as you didn't directly force me to hand over the 'Scammer' trait, Miss, I don't have any ill intentions towards you."
"I think it is at least possible and necessary for us to talk peacefully."
"At least, you should introduce yourself to me first."
"It's polite."
There was a slight hesitation, but the girl was still moved by the other party's gentle words and handsome appearance.
She raised her head and said proudly:
"Carol Jacob, my name."
A member of the family of Jacob!
Although it was not a surprise, Gray Lint still couldn't hide his surprise and said:
"A beautiful name, it is as worthy of praise from every gentleman as your appearance."
It seemed that she didn't often hear such straightforward compliments, so the girl's tense face was inevitably stained with a slight blush.
But even so, she still stayed close to the window, ready to escape at any time.
Seeing that the other party was so wary, Gray Linte felt a lot more relieved.
She shouldn't be a particularly powerful Beyonder, otherwise she wouldn't be so timid.
But she should not be lower than Sequence Seven!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to come directly to the door even though she knew she had killed Quinn.
Seeing this situation, Gray Linte pretended to be frank and sat on the sofa and said:
"Don't be too nervous, Miss Jacob."
"Please sit down and listen to me tell you about that characteristic."
"I think a beautiful and tolerant lady can understand and forgive my behavior."
Immediately, he picked up his black tea with his left hand and took a sip to show relaxation.
In this process, he gave full play to his eloquence as a "lawyer" and distorted and guided the other party's thinking to a certain extent, making her feel cordial and willing to believe.
Unaware of such gentle and comforting words, the girl was successfully infected by his words and sat back down hesitantly.
"I think Quinn is not a member of your family."
"So we have no irreconcilable differences, right?"
The girl did not deny this:
"Yeah, he's not even a member of our organization."
"He accidentally killed a member of our organization, so he got the potion formula and extraordinary properties."
"For the purpose of 'trying not to let the sequence characteristics leak out', I followed the clues and found you."
If this is the case, it seems to be much safer to let an experienced member do the recycling.
Gray Lint did not expose the girl's lie, and nodded pretending to believe it.
"So that's it."
"My situation here is: Quinn found me and tried to 'scam', but he didn't expect that I was an extraordinary person."
"After he was exposed by me, I had some interactions with him."
"Not knowing my specific strength, he chose to jump out of the window and escape. Unexpectedly, the side of the window he jumped to was on the fourth floor."
"Then he accidentally fell to his death."
Fallen to death...
Hearing this absurd reason, Carol felt it was quite funny and ridiculous.
