I have a Synthesizer

Noticing Kilian's arrival, Andre released Leah's chin and turned to look at Andre.

"The front desk already sent a message saying Holly was seriously injured? Hehe, that's hilarious. You guys can get injured even while holed up in the Kazan Mansion? Did you overdo it at a group orgy? Hahaha."

"We were carrying out a mission, and certain reasons led to its failure, so Holly was injured."

"Mission failure is even more unforgivable, Kilian. You're such a waste!"

Andre and Kilian were members of the Skull Society from the same period, but Kilian's performance had always surpassed Andre's in the past, causing Andre to harbor deep resentment towards Kilian.

However, Andre had an unexpected encounter some time ago, and his strength miraculously broke through to the fifth tier. Since then, the gap in status between him and Kilian has widened.

It has to be said that fate is such a trickster.

Faced with Andre's sarcasm, Kilian didn't feel angry at all. He just stood there calmly, without saying a word.

After a while, another voice came from behind Kilian.

"Shut up, Andre. Strength isn't a justification for mocking your comrades. Besides, tell us the reason for the failure, Kilian."

Seth, a fifth-tier necromancer and former old butler of the Proteni family, walked in.

"Yes, Master Seth! We prepared many traps for Klein, but he didn't contact us using Holly's note as we had imagined.

Instead, he identified himself as a member of the Dark Crusader and presented an arrest warrant with the official seal of the Dark Cross leader to violently arrest us.

There were many people with him at the time, and it was the Kazan Mansion. We had no way to forcibly attack them in that environment, which led to the failure of the mission, and Holly was injured during the escape."

"Heh, the Dark Cross seal? It hasn't appeared for almost ten years. How could you believe it? You're just a waste."

"Enough, Andre. Will arguing solve the problem? Is this the time to argue?"

Seth interrupted Andre's mockery. Although they were both at the fifth tier, Seth's status was clearly much higher than Andre's.

Under Seth's glare, Andre fell silent.

Seth nodded slowly to Kilian. He had designed the plan, and Kilian and the other two were just executors. The failure couldn't be blamed on the subordinates; he had to bear at least half of the responsibility.

Fortunately, the Demonic Spirit hadn't been exposed openly, so even if they failed, the impact on them wouldn't be too great.

"I understand, Kilian. Put the previous plan on hold for now. I heard Holly was injured. Go back and take care of her. After all, she's Sorada's daughter, and we still have to consider some things."

"Yes, Master Seth. I'll go back then."

After Kilian left, Andre slowly said:

"Seth, you're too kind to these people. Those without ability should be punished."

As he spoke, Andre slowly walked to the bound woman and inserted a finger into her brow, killing her on the spot.

But that wasn't the end. A strong surge of magical energy began to appear on the woman's body, and her life energy began to flow rapidly into Andre's body.

Her original torso became shriveled, and the woman named Leah suddenly broke free from the ropes that bound her and knelt slowly beside Andre.

The real reason Seth was determined to kill Klein was Agatha. After the last mission failed, Agatha actually seemed to be in a good mood, which was enough to make Seth feel vigilant.

After some investigation, Seth learned about most of Agatha's interactions with Klein.

Combining this with the fact that Agatha had shown favor to Klein at the academy before, Seth could easily deduce that Agatha had definitely developed feelings for Klein, and perhaps something had even happened between them.

Agatha was the person he and Prometheus valued the most. The uniqueness of her bloodline and abilities made them regard her as the most important heir, without equal.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't matter if Agatha had someone she liked, as long as it didn't affect her development and strength improvement. They could pretend not to know; it's normal for young people to have some emotional problems.

But Klein was the only exception. Every aspect of him clashed with Agatha. First of all, he had defeated Agatha before. Seth had deduced this from his conversation with Agatha in Grandok last time.

If Agatha and Klein were together, a woman's reliance on a man, especially a stronger partner, would greatly diminish Agatha's potential, which they didn't want to see.

Secondly, there was Klein's identity. He was a member of the Jay Society, and an important member at that. The Jay Society would never reconcile with the Skull Society; their war had been going on for decades.

Also, judging from the Fakis incident, this Klein had great ambitions and the ability to execute them. Seth was always worried that Agatha would be used if she got too close to him.

That's why he used the Demonic Spirit as bait and made a series of discreet arrangements to lure Klein in.

However, judging from the results of this mission, he had underestimated this person.

"This Klein is really a hidden danger. If he keeps hiding in the Jay Society and doesn't come out, we won't have any way to deal with him."

Thinking about Klein, Seth fell into deep thought again.

… …

Just as Seth was considering whether Klein would turtle up in the Jay Society, Klein had already brought Gwen to a restaurant across from the Seeker Hotel.

Gwen looked at the luxurious hotel and said, "The Seeker Hotel? Are they up there?"

Klein shook his head and pointed below the hotel.

"No, not up there. They're down there."

"Down there?"

"Yes."

"That's going to be a little difficult."

In fact, they didn't need much conversation at all. These conversations were basically for the other Jay Society members to hear. With Gwen's status as a fifth-tier expert, Klein could truly command these Jay Society members.

In fact, when he sensed that the Skull Society's base was under this hotel, Klein had already thought about what to do. He was going to attack the Skull Society's base.

Yes, this time, he was going to take the initiative. It sounded like a crazy idea, but after careful consideration, Klein felt that it was a very worthwhile idea to execute.

There were too many super-tiers in the Imperial City, and there was also the Empress. Regardless of whether the Empress cared about things or not, the Skull Society's leader could not enter the Imperial City to handle matters.

In the absence of interference from super-tier experts, the Skull Society's highest combat power was the fifth tier.

If Klein hadn't come into contact with fifth-tier professionals, he certainly wouldn't have made such a bold plan. But this time was different. He had already come into contact with three fifth-tiers.

Fakis, Frando, and Gwen. He also learned about Gwen's specific combat abilities in detail.

It was precisely because he understood fifth-tier experts that Klein dared to truly implement this plan, because the strength of these people was enough to deal with ordinary fifth-tiers, let alone with Gwen.

… …

If they really went in through the front door of the hotel to ask for directions, they would most likely be exposed on the spot and then countered like fools, so Klein had an even bolder idea.

In his previous life, he really liked playing all kinds of sandbox construction games, and digging holes was even more commonplace.

"Do you have anyone proficient in earth-based magic?"

Gwen asked this question, as she was the apparent commander.

"Me!"

"I can."

Seeing two members speak up, Klein nodded with satisfaction. If there was only one, the magic recovery speed might not be able to keep up, but since there were two, they could take turns operating and speed up the efficiency.
