Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Knowing Too Much (1200 Words Added)

Zhong Shenxiu sighed.

The Notting Hill Gang was initially just the white glove through which he controlled the illicit liquor trade.

After seizing control of all the bars in Byron City, the gang had lost its utilitarian value to him.

And once he received news from secretive meetings that the Federation Special Affairs Bureau had begun to investigate the origins of Notting Hill’s Magic Potion, Zhong Shenxiu entertained the idea of disposing of this white glove.

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that choosing a random night to carry out a hit would result in so many unexpected incidents.

At this moment, inside the conference hall.

Sinisi had already reached an agreement with the bloodied old Norma.

"Look, just say if you need my power..."

As Sinisi wiped the blood splattered on his face with a handkerchief, his expression was maniacal yet composed, filled with a complex and contradictory temperament, "Why must you make it so bloody?"

"Hehe..."

Blood-covered Norma’s face twisted into a grimace, mixed with a hint of fear, "Sinisi... my offer still stands."

"No need to tell me anything else, we’ll kill your enemies for you, and you’ll give me a piece of secret heritage, it’s that simple..."

Sinisi fiddled with a revolver, "Don’t test my patience! And... I need the potion!"

"Magic Potion is not my lord’s domain... Perhaps you could seek the followers of the Master of Black Blood!" Norma whispered in a low voice: "They have also been gathering in Byron City recently. A big event is about to happen here!"

"No matter who it is, once they set foot on my territory, they have to follow my rules!"

Sinisi licked his lips, "More mysterious individuals? Perfect for enriching my library and my bedroom could use a piece of scalped art! Too bad... what I want most is that person’s scalp!"

He thought of that demon, the very embodiment of fear, that made him shiver uncontrollably every time he recalled it.

At that moment, Sinisi seemed to hear a voice.

It was a complex and hard-to-articulate series of notes, starting with something like, "Modo..."

Buzz!

The next moment, invisible ripples swept through the hall, and the gunmen fell like harvested wheat, devoid of any sign of life.

"What is this?!"

Norma’s pupils shrank, and a tattoo on his body began to twist and emit black light, as if fighting against the sound waves.

Snap!

But Sinisi had already fallen.

This new underground Emperor of Byron City had forever lost his life.

"He... He had just taken Magic Potion, he should still be within the protection period..."

Norma’s mind was like a stormy sea.

This could only mean that a mysterious person skilled in the nameless art of soul had made a move!

Their spirit was incredibly powerful, breaking through the defense of the Magic Potion directly!

The next instant, a crackling sound ensued.

Norma’s head hung low, looking at his black tattoos, and saw them beginning to explode in shock.

A pain as sharp as a scythe swept directly across his spirit.

"Voodoo..."

His eyes still filled with terror, his body slumped softly to the ground.

Just a single nameless art had easily reaped all the souls in the hall!

"This is..."

Tom and Jack, who were in charge of surveillance outside, saw this and their pupils instantly narrowed, "What extraordinary power... When did Byron City get such a dangerous and mysterious individual? There’s nothing about them in the archives..."

"What do we do?"

Tom said in a panic.

"Chase after him!"

Jack ran his fingers over the Crystal Ball, gritted his teeth, and said, "With such a big incident having occurred, we, as investigators, have to know what’s going on, otherwise, we’re failing in our responsibility to the Federation!"

"Do you fucking know who you’re trying to track?" Tom cussed. "We’re just ’Exceptionals’, while our target is at least an ’Excellence’ or even an ’Ascender’!"

"But, I have no choice."

Jack picked up the Crystal Ball and looked at the blurry figure on it.

A black suit, a black short cape...

The figure seemed to have been lingering around the periphery of the Notting Hill family, already turning to leave by this point.

"We’ll quietly follow, and as long as we don’t alert him, perhaps nothing will happen..."

Jack bolstered his own courage and, following the guidance of the Crystal Ball, took off after the figure.

Seeing this, Tom could only curse bitterly and followed suit: "I’m really unlucky to have you as a partner!"

The two dashed down streets and alleys, disappearing into a street engulfed by darkness.

At the end of the street was a wall. It was a dead end.

"Not good!"

Jack saw the wall, and the Crystal Ball in his hand suddenly cracked.

This indicated that the spirit within was warning of an extremely intense danger drawing near!

But it was already too late.

The sound of a curse entered their ears: "Mordo..."

In an instant, Tom and Jack felt as if a heavy block of lead was stuffed inside their heads, the immense pressure making them fall to the ground with splitting headaches.

Unfamiliar visions suddenly emerged from the depths of their hearts.

Tom seemed to see fearsome creatures flying across the sky, made up of pitch-black wings, mouths, and teeth with a malevolent form.

Every note they emitted was filled with the essence of corruption.

Jack saw pale bodies with gaping maws like black holes, emitting wails full of the meaning of agony.

Along with these visions came an influence of madness and dark corruption.

This caused the two ’Exceptionals’ to scream in agony, their flesh tearing open to reveal eye-like entities.

For those delving into the mysteries, rashly contacting the Spirit Realm and tapping into deeper madness was a severe taboo!

The more forbidden information one knew, the more susceptible they were to madness!

"The effect is not bad!"

Zhong Shenxiu stepped with measured paces to the front of the two investigators.

He hadn’t anticipated that simply transferring the Spirit Realm visions he had seen through a spirit link would have such an effect.

With such results, wouldn’t an ordinary person who didn’t suffer a mental collapse likely transform into some kind of monster?

With this thought, he stopped the transmission: "Who are you, and why are you following me?"

"We are... Special Affairs Bureau investigators!"

Jack breathed a sigh of relief, while Tom beside him was filled with terror: "Just now, you recited the same curse as before, but it produced a different effect. You are the ’Mad Mage’!"

The mention of that term shocked Jack instantly.

Mad Mage! That was synonymous with a lunatic!

Not just them, even those first-level investigators would rather duel with an ’Ascender’ than provoke such a madman!

’When did such a dangerous individual come into Byron City...’ Beads of cold sweat formed on Jack’s forehead. Thinking back to the recent events, he blurted out: "No... you were silencing someone just now. You definitely have ties with the mastermind behind the Notting Hill family, or perhaps you are him!"

The moment he said this, Jack felt some regret. Tom beside him nearly passed out from fear.

"You know too much!"

Zhong Shenxiu smiled, showing his pearly white teeth.
