Twenty times is Gold Coins, what’s the situation?
The Black Magic Book that Henry bought for five hundred Gold Coins can now directly let him turn the tables and become the master.
Why not?
Besides, keeping this book by his side might make him frequently enter dreams.
Recently he needs to handle matters with the academy and the Rumelter Family.
He couldn’t possibly spare the energy to analyze what this Black Magic Book actually does.
However, without this Black Magic Book, he definitely has no way to meet Cliff.
For now, he’ll just leave the book with the boss.
The boss should return it to him later.
Henry felt his idea had no problems, so he decisively facilitated this transaction.
The boss painfully pulled out a card from his drawer.
It was a Gold Coin storage card from Noel Bank.
“This card has ten thousand Gold Coins in it, you can just take it directly, the password is six eights. Ai ya, suddenly I feel like buying it was a loss.”
“Boss, look at what you’re saying, when you encounter something you like, just buy it! Besides, I helped you analyze a big secret, shouldn’t you be happy?”
“You’re right, next I need to properly research what to feed it. As for you, take care and I won’t see you off.”
“Boss, I’m a student at Saint Nad Academy, if you need anything you can come to the academy to find me.”
Henry still gave the boss a reminder.
But the boss just waved his hand, not even lifting his head.
“There probably won’t be that opportunity.”

Night fell.
The two suit-wearing men representing the Rumelter negotiation returned to the inn.
But as soon as they pushed open the door, a man was sitting in a chair, looking at the two people with a face full of smiles.
He wore a gentleman’s hat, but his cheek had a large burn scar, looking very frightening.
“Mr. Scorpion, why are you here?”
“Good evening, you two, how did the negotiation go?”
The two looked at each other, then said.
“Henry wasn’t satisfied with the Rumelter Family’s compensation.”
Hearing this, Scorpion’s eyebrows slightly raised, seeming somewhat surprised.
In his impression, Henry wasn’t someone who would refuse such compensation.
After all, he was a short-sighted child, as long as you gave him a little small favor, he would gladly accept.
However, he heard that he actually refused the family head’s request, insisting on participating in the Assessment Exam, and was even expelled from the family for this.
Later he even beat Luning to the point where he had to lie in bed for several months.
This sudden change caught many people in the family off guard.
Some people suggested bringing Henry back, and depending on the situation, provide him with resources.
But such a suggestion was immediately rejected by the family head.
The family head believed that people who were expelled didn’t need to come back.
And Henry himself had no magical talent, and for the Rumelter Family with excellent magical talent, they didn’t need a person without magical power to represent them.
Such reasoning left others with nothing to say.
At the same time, they also wanted to resolve the trouble that was Henry, which is why this negotiation came about.
“What was he dissatisfied with? There are fields, there are Gold Coins, it’s just asking him to drop out, could he really not do even that?”
Those two people, upon hearing this, also looked somewhat embarrassed.
Seemingly noticing the two people’s behavior, Scorpion silently took off his hat.
“It looks like you still have words you haven’t said, what words are so hard to speak?”
“Uh, Henry said some unseemly words.”
“Oh? Unseemly? Let’s hear it.”
“He said, this money couldn’t even buy your mothers’ virginity.”
After saying this, one of them couldn’t help but laugh.
The man looked at him, and only then did he put away his smile, showing a very professional attitude.
And Scorpion’s mouth curved up, his expression also somewhat excited.
“I didn’t expect that timid little mouse would dare to speak to the Rumelter like this. It seems that after leaving the family, his courage has grown bigger and bigger. Is it Princess Jessica who gave him courage, or is it that young lady from the Noel Family who gave him confidence?”
Hearing the man’s low murmur.
The man who had been laughing earlier put forward his own view.
“I think in terms of compensation, the Rumelter Family should add more chips. After all, this compensation is indeed very low, you could spend it all on one meal outside.”
“One meal can cost a thousand Gold Coins?”
Scorpion showed a mysterious smile toward the person who offered the opinion.
The next moment, a dagger coated with poison pierced into that person’s skull!
The other party didn’t even have time to react to what was happening before passing away.
At the same time, Scorpion snapped his fingers.
The surrounding environment instantly became quiet, as if there was a membrane isolating the sounds from all around.
Seeing his companion die so suddenly in front of him, the remaining suit-wearing man let out a shrill scream.
“Murder! Someone come quickly, murder!”
A hand somehow covered his mouth, Scorpion’s terrifying face came close to the suit-wearing man’s face, making a quiet gesture.
“I heard you, you don’t need to shout so loudly.”
He used the dagger to directly cut the other party’s throat.
Blood instantly gushed out, splashing his whole body with blood.
The suit-wearing man looked at Scorpion’s face in despair, yet heard Scorpion’s words.
“Those old immortals always find such stupid people to do things. If it weren’t for the family head’s order to make Henry fall into despair, I really wouldn’t want to get involved in Saint Nad Academy’s affairs.”
He let go, and the body fell backward powerlessly.
Then, he took out a small object from his pocket and threw it on the ground.
It was a small name card that originally belonged to Henry, something Henry wrote to his mother when he was small.
He turned back to look at the bloody scene behind him, then turned and left with satisfaction.

Jessica wore simple clothes, passed through complicated alleys, and came to a abandoned residence.
She carried a bag of food in her hand, then knocked on the door rhythmically.
Before long, the door opened, and a small head peeked out from inside.
When the other party saw Jessica, a happy expression appeared on their face.
“Sister Jessica, you came.”
“Mm, how did you all get along today? Is there anything else you need? I can bring it tomorrow.”
Jessica familiarly walked in and put down her things.
Several small figures emerged from the darkness, surrounding Jessica in a circle, looking very excited.
Since the last time she met these children, Jessica had also investigated that so-called welfare institution.
But there was really too little information about what was inside, and His Majesty the King also forbade her from touching these things, so she could only do it secretly.
At the same time, she was also taking care of these children, with the purpose of not letting them do illegal things again.
“Milu, you should have stayed here obediently today to take care of these children, right?”
In the corner, that child with scars on her face leaned against the wall.
After hearing Jessica’s words, she was silent for a moment, then responded.
“I didn’t leave.”
Used to Milu’s attitude, Jessica wasn’t angry either.
“You all stay here obediently, I will definitely solve the welfare institution matter.”
Without staying too long, Jessica turned to leave.
But before leaving, she heard Milu’s voice.
“Hey, you need to be more careful, if you get hurt, Aunt Eliana would be sad.”
