Chapter 135

Under the watchful eyes of his teammates, Ryan stood up slowly.

"I'm very sorry about what happened to Milton." Ryan said very sincerely: "I can't decide what happened that night, and I really want to fight side by side with everyone, but it seems that there is no chance. .”

After speaking, he took out the sound transmission meter and put it on the table.

"Rain!" Pollock exclaimed.

The expressions of the other teammates also changed. They didn't expect that Renn would be so decisive and quit the demon squad directly without any nostalgia.

Pollock hurriedly said: "Ren, don't be impulsive. I believe you didn't intend to escape, nor did you mean to force you to leave the team."

"I know."

Ren nodded, but did not change his mind, and said helplessly: "I cherish my status as a demon-killing team member, but unfortunately I have too many personal affairs, and I have not fulfilled the duties of the demon-killing team. If I continue to stay, I will only It’s just occupying a spot in vain.”

Pollock smiled wryly, feeling regretful in his heart.

It is true that Ren rarely reported to the Demon Slayer, and he did not meet with his teammates a few times, but it is definitely not negligence. Just because of the time when he destroyed the gate of the abyss, Ren's contribution to Longshande surpassed the entire Demon department.

Even if Ryan occupies this position and does nothing, he deserves a hundred-year salary as a white-collar worker.

He also wanted to explain a few more words, trying to redeem.

Ren shook his head firmly, and said with a smile: "Captain, and everyone, see you later." Then, he turned and walked out of the summoning room.

Pollock and several team members looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a long silence, Frieda, who was usually quiet and beautiful, suddenly snorted, and hurried away with a frosty face. Hargrove looked at her back and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word in the end.

Ren walked out of the Security Bureau with ease, rode his bicycle back to Silver Star Academy, and continued to move books.

Just when the car was riding halfway, a black car suddenly caught up with him and paralleled him at the same speed. The rear window fell down, revealing the figure of the chief of security, Felion.

This legendary magic swordsman full of aristocratic atmosphere is still as calm and calm as ever.

"Ren, come to the car and talk."

The car slowed down and stopped, but Ren didn't refuse. He stuffed the bicycle into the trunk, sat in the car, and greeted: "Your Excellency, Chief."

"I've heard Pollock's report, you want to quit the demon squad?" Philion asked straight to the point.

"Yes."

Felion felt a little regretful, but he didn't feel surprised. He said calmly, "With your strength, you will leave the Demon Slayer sooner or later. I just didn't expect it to be so soon."

Ren smiled. As one of the confidantes of the Duke of Silver Star, Felion knew exactly what happened that day, so he didn't ask why.

"That night, you told the Duke that there might be a mole in the demon squad." Ferrion turned to another matter, his face became serious, "I have conducted a large-scale investigation secretly these days, and there is no The traitor was found, and the public security bureau's sound meter was not monitored, could it be that you made a mistake?"

"Didn't find it?" Ren was a little skeptical.

What he doubted was not whether there was a mole, but whether Feilion's secret investigation was reliable.

I contacted Pollock in the underground fortress. As soon as the Duke of Silver Star arrived at the sword of the oath, the shadow blade detonated the earthquake spell. Such a quick response indicated that the shadow blade might still have gotten wind of it.

Of course, it may be a coincidence that Shadow Blade decided to launch the plan ahead of time, even if the Duke of Silver Star didn't show up, it would cause an earthquake.

But judging from the situation of that report, there must be shadow blade lurkers in the Public Security Bureau.

Ren wanted to find out this traitor very much, because the existence of this person was very likely to expose his identity. If he didn't get rid of it, he would become the target of Shadow Blade's revenge in the future.

Now Felion actually said that he hadn't found it, which made him feel a little bit of a sense of crisis.

You know, Harken just died a few clones, and the main body is still alive.

And Sofman, who was lurking at the Silver Star Academy before, also disappeared. The academy's bulletin regarded Sofman as a missing person, thinking that he was killed by the Shadow Blade that night.

Obviously, Sofman saw something bad and ran away too.

This means that at least two Luoxi believers survived, and there may be more, but in a short period of time, they did not dare to show their heads in Longshande.

Ren can't help but feel a little headache, what troubles there will be!

Felion knew what he was worried about, but there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find out, so he could only comfort him softly: "Be careful."

"Thank you, Director." Ren smiled wryly.

The two talked for a while, and the car sent Ren to the gate of the Silver Star Academy, then turned around and left.

After staying in the big library for most of the day, Ren came out in the evening.

"Mr. Wren."

A man who looked like a butler was at the gate of the academy, and he stepped forward and shouted respectfully.

Ren stopped and looked at this person, quite sure he didn't recognize him.

The other party continued: "Mr. Wren, Viscount Perry would like to ask Mr. Wren to get in the car and have a talk. Is it convenient?"

While speaking, he pointed to a luxurious carriage parked on the opposite side of the street. The carriage was engraved with the coat of arms of nobles, and was pulled by four handsome black horses, which was very eye-catching.

"Viscount Perry?"

Ren suddenly remembered, isn't this the father of Driss who hindered him from entering the Demon Slayer? It is said that he is still one of the richest men in Longshande, the deputy director of the Finance and Taxation Bureau, a wealthy and powerful person.

What is he looking for?

It's been almost two months since Driss's incident, and it's only now, isn't it too late?

Ren's eyes scanned the carriage, there was no mystery, it was just a carriage, and there was only one ordinary person in the carriage, who should be the Viscount Perry.

He nodded to the butler and walked to the carriage.

The butler followed quickly, opened the car door in front, and invited Ren to get on.

"Mr. Ryan." A thin man stood up slightly in the carriage, with a kind smile on his face. He looked good and well maintained. He was wearing well-fitting luxury clothes, but his eyes were slightly cloudy and there were corners of his eyes. Wrinkled, looks a little old, at least over fifty years old.

Ordinary humans, once they are over fifty years old, their physical condition will decline sharply due to the torture of the blood soul curse.

He held out his hand and introduced himself, "I'm Perry Ansell, meeting for the first time."

Ren shook hands with him, "Viscount Perry."

While speaking, he looked at it with the eyes of his soul, and sure enough, the viscount's soul was a little weak, far less stable than normal people, which is a characteristic of old age and infirmity.

Ren didn't exchange greetings with him. This person is considered an enemy to him, so he didn't need to be polite, and asked directly, "What do you want from me?"

Viscount Perry didn't care at all, and didn't go around in circles. He nodded and said, "Mr. Wren, don't get me wrong. I have no malicious intentions. I just want to make a deal with you during my visit today."

"What deal?"

"I heard that Mr. Wren is looking for a demon soul with an affinity for lightning?" Viscount Perry asked tentatively, seeing the change in Wren's eyes, he immediately explained: "Mr. Wren bought it in my shop yesterday. The owner of the Thundersaber's demon soul reported it to me, so I will know."

"It turns out that the demon soul shop belongs to His Excellency the Viscount."

Leisi's face softened a little. He heard from Pollock that the LeAnsell family runs the largest demon soul farm in Longshande, and asked, "Do you have any news about the Thunder and Lightning Affinity?"

"Yes." Viscount Perry said with confidence: "Mr. Ren may have heard of it. I have a large-scale devil soul farm under my name. There are more than a dozen kinds of devil souls cultivated. It is one of them, the one that Mr. Wren bought came from the farm."

Ren nodded, feeling stunned.

Viscount Perry said: "Xunying Leisaber is difficult to domesticate and has a long adult cycle, so the number is not large. There are no more than one hundred in the farm."

"These magic leopards can be used not only as mounts but also as partners of rangers. Each one is very precious."

"A few years ago, an extremely powerful Thunder Saber was cultivated in the farm. Its strength is equivalent to that of a third-level extraordinary person, and it is very likely to be promoted to a mid-level monster."

When Viscount Perry said this, he paused on purpose, but seeing that there was no expression on Ren's face, and he was not particularly anxious, he continued with some embarrassment: "Mr. Ren should know that the middle-level Thundersaber has a probability This Thunder Saber is the one that has an affinity for thunder and lightning."

"The soul appraiser in the farm has appraised it, and there is at least half of the possibility that there will be a lightning affinity."

Ren was unmoved, but asked lightly: "And then?"

"Uh..." Viscount Perry hesitated for a moment before saying, "Its strength has grown beyond our expectations. Taking advantage of the guard's negligence, it killed several of its kind before fleeing."

Ren couldn't help being a little speechless, "When did it happen? Where did you escape to?"

"The year before last."

Viscount Perry only mentioned the time when the Thundersaber escaped, but he didn't point out where he fled, obviously he didn't want to say it yet.

Ren understood his thoughts, fell silent for a while, and said with a sneer, "You just said you wanted to make a deal with me, and you just used this news?"

"Of course not." Viscount Perry seemed confident, "If Mr. Wren agrees to the deal, I can provide more detailed information."

"Well, what do you want?" Ren asked patiently.

"Mr. Wren's friendship." Viscount Perry's answer was unexpected, his eyes full of sincerity. There was some sarcasm on Ren's face, "Viscount Perry really knows how to joke."

"No, I'm serious."

Viscount Perry said seriously: "I know that Driss had a feud with Mr. Wren and formed a grudge, but that is just a trivial matter. I have already admonished Dries. He is still recovering from his injuries. When he recovers, he will come to the door in person. Apologies to Mr Wren."

"I'm afraid Driss won't be so willing?" Ren sneered.

"He must listen to me." Viscount Perry's eyes flashed sternly, "I have arranged a marriage for him last month, and we will get married after the New Year. I will never let him pester Ms. Viola again."

Ren still didn't take it seriously, "What good is my friendship to you?"

Viscount Perry was at a loss for words.

In fact, before that, he didn't have any affection for Ren who injured his son, and even had a bit of resentment, but due to the relationship between Ren and Viola, there were rumors in the Public Security Bureau that Ren knew a legendary hunter. A devil, so he didn't dare to take revenge two months ago, so he had to endure it.

The owner of the Demon Soul Shop came to report yesterday, so he deliberately investigated it.

It turned out that in the past few months, Renn had bought demon souls in the market three times. This means that Renn has been promoted to a third-level wizard in such a short period of time!

What a formidable talent!

When Ren was at the first level, he was able to defeat Driss at the fourth level. Now that he has been promoted to the third level, he is many times stronger than before.

Viscount Perry was afraid that after Driss recovered from his injuries, he would provoke Ren again and seek his own death.

Viscount Perry did not dare to be negligent about the future hope of the only eldest son of a transcendent, LeAnsel, who had placed high hopes on himself, and could only prevent it from happening before it happened.

For this reason, he specially taught Driss a lesson last night, warning him to stay away from Rennes.

Viscount Perry was not really afraid of Ren, but felt that he could get some benefits by taking the opportunity to mend his relationship with Ren.

But now it seems that Rennes doesn't seem to buy it.

Ren's soul eyes could clearly see Viscount Perry's emotions, obviously the other party was not telling the whole truth. Even without being able to check soul color, he doesn't believe in the "friendship" stuff.

Businessmen can't get up early without profit, so how can they give themselves benefits for nothing.

He laughed, got up and said, "Viscount Perry, if you have nothing else to say, then I will take my leave first."

"Please wait a moment."

Viscount Perry gritted his teeth, and took out a stack of gold tickets from the secret cabinet under his seat.

Ren looked at it. There were ten gold tickets in this stack, each with a face value of 1,000 gold shields, and a total of 10,000 gold shields. It was a huge amount of wealth that ordinary people would not be able to earn in a lifetime.

"After the new year, Ms. Carroll will be retiring." Viscount Perry said in a low voice, "I hope Ms. Viola can say a few words for me in front of Chief Carol."

Ren laughed, thinking that was the case.

The Ms. Carol that Viscount Perry was talking about was the director of the Longshande Taxation Bureau and Viscount Perry's immediate boss. This woman who is in charge of Longshande's financial power is also a member of the Duke's family. She is an ordinary person, over 60 years old, physically and mentally weak, unable to continue to be qualified for such an important position, so she is planning to retire.

Ms. Carroll resigned, and I don't know how many people are staring at the chubby director.

Carol has a great say in the choice of successor.

The Duke of Silver Star also made a statement that in order to thank Carol for her decades of service, she would respect her choice.

In the past few months, Carol has refused wave after wave of visits without revealing anything. Carol has never been married and has no children. The only person who can talk to her and has the closest relationship with her is Viola, who is also a member of the Duke family.

Because she is the only sister of Viola's father, that is, Viola's aunt.

Apparently, Viscount Perry also took a fancy to the position of director.

Ren shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to find me. If you want Viola to speak for you, why don't you go to see Viola in person?"

"Ms. Viola refuses to see me."

Viscount Perry smiled wryly. He was well aware of the relationship between Ren and Viola, and knew that it was caused by Driss offending Ren.

"If Mr. Lane can tell Ms. Viola for me, and ask her to meet with me, this golden ticket is your reward. I will also tell you the news about the Thunder Saber, regardless of whether it is successful or not. " Viscount Perry said sincerely, and handed over the money.

Ren thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, wait for my news."

He didn't collect the money immediately, and got out of the carriage directly.
