"You all stay at home first, I'm going to settle accounts with him."

Finding the person who sent this gift was very easy. These gifts were all meant to curry favor with Loren, so each one clearly stated the sender's identity on it.

"Are there any problems with the other gifts? I plan to settle them all at once."

"No, the vast majority are just treasures and materials for magical potions..."

"Good, I'm leaving now."

Loren closed the box and walked out the door carrying it.

To be honest, Loren didn't care about these things before. He just never expected someone would try to send him this stuff.

After this, Loren didn't plan to manage it much either. At most, he would talk about the dangers of this stuff. Other than that, even if those people died from taking the drugs, it had nothing to do with Loren. After all, it was their own choice.

Moreover, with such a major incident happening in the Uridia Kingdom, newspapers were flying everywhere. Loren didn't believe they were unaware of the dangers of these drugs.

This time, Loren didn't seek out the King or the Church. He went directly to that noble's house and knocked on his door.

The attendant who opened the door, upon seeing it was Loren, immediately called for the head of the household. The noble came out still wearing a smile. At this moment, he was very pleased, thinking his gift had won Loren's favor. Otherwise, why would Loren seek him out specifically and not anyone else?

"You sent these things, right?"

Loren opened the box to show him a glance, not revealing any other expression, so the noble didn't sense anything amiss.

Furthermore, he noticed one syringe was missing, so he guessed Loren had tried it, found it very satisfying, and wanted more:

"Yes, I'm glad you like them. This is the purest product. I went through a lot of trouble to buy it from the Uridia Kingdom..."

"I can tell."

Loren remembered this type of drug. The Marquis who died used this exact kind.

"So..."

The noble revealed an ingratiating smile. He was already prepared to lead his entire family to ascend to great heights.

As long as he gained Loren's appreciation, he was confident he could gradually rise from an ordinary noble to become the greatest noble in the Gedlan Kingdom.

On the surface, the Gedlan Kingdom bore the surname Freheim (the King's surname), but anyone with eyes knew the Gedlan Kingdom bore the surname Luo. If Loren was willing, it wasn't impossible for this ordinary noble to become King.

Just as he was lost in his fantasy, Loren spoke:

"Then let me help you enjoy it properly."

Before the noble could react, Loren grabbed his arm and precisely inserted the syringe into his vein.

In an instant, all the syringes in the box were emptied. Simultaneously, bloodshot eyes appeared in the noble's gaze, and blood even gradually began to stream from his eyes like tears.

"Farewell."

Loren didn't waste a single word. He turned and left, leaving only a pile of empty syringes on the floor.

This was originally an extremely high-purity drug, with astonishingly potent effects. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made even Marquis Selika so obsessed with it.

Moreover, Loren used so much at once. It would directly addict him while also building up a high tolerance. Ordinary drugs could no longer satisfy him now, and this high-purity product was exceedingly expensive.

Selika could keep using it because she was a Marquis. The wealth of the great nation of Uridia Kingdom was essentially in the hands of the Vampires, and the Vampires' wealth was essentially in the hands of the Marquises.

Additionally, the Uridia Kingdom was the drug's place of origin, making it much cheaper there.

But this man was just an ordinary noble household head. He now had only two choices: either suffer excruciating pain from the withdrawal symptoms, or bankrupt his family fortune for it and drag his entire family into the abyss.

...

After dealing with him, Loren didn't go home. Instead, he turned and went to the Church, telling them to have the Bishop come find Loren once he woke up.

Loren always dealt with matters by going directly to the highest authority. Otherwise, by the time it got passed up layer by layer, the opportunity would be long gone.

By the time he returned home, only an hour had passed. Loren's efficiency in handling matters was terrifyingly high.

Loren immediately emphasized to the others just how dangerous these drugs were. Actually, Loren didn't need to emphasize it much. They had already witnessed the dangers of the drugs last time when they went to the Uridia Kingdom.

It was precisely these drugs that had ruined the Uridians and ruined the Vampires.

But now, these drugs were earning the Vampires quite a lot of money.

It's worth mentioning that the Vampires would send Loren a considerable amount of money from time to time. This money all came from selling sunscreen.

Under Duke Furad's insistence, all the profits from sunscreen sales were given to Loren. The Vampires kept none of it for themselves.

The Bloodline Rebels and Aisaco had been dealt with. Logically, the Vampires no longer needed sunscreen, but the sales of sunscreen hadn't decreased much at all.

And this was despite the reduced number of Vampires.

Sunscreen had long since become a popular new luxury item among Vampires. Its function shifted from sun protection to flaunting wealth, to the point that the mid-range and low-end versions of the sunscreen had almost zero sales.

The functions of these variants were no different, a fact the Vampires were well aware of.

Even among humans, sunscreen was starting to become trendy. The limited sales of the mid and low-end versions all came from humans.

A bizarre situation had now emerged: in a country without sun, sunscreen was the best-selling product.

In summary, the money sunscreen earned for Loren was absurdly high, almost catching up to the treasure Loren had brought back from the Bardo Kingdom before.

And remember, this was only half a year.

Most of the money was stored in Scarlett's spatial storage. Only a little was kept at home for daily expenses.

And this "little" was also an astronomical figure.

Not long after Loren returned home, he heard the doorbell ring.

Loren had installed a doorbell at his house a long time ago, but the vast majority of people in the Gedlan Kingdom didn't know how to use this thing. For example, when the Bishop came to find Loren, he still preferred to knock.

He was a very traditional person.

So upon hearing the doorbell, Loren ruled out the Bishop. Besides, when Loren went earlier, the Bishop hadn't woken up yet. It was unlikely he would have woken up right as Loren left.

"It couldn't be someone from that noble's family, could it?"

If he could get his hands on that kind of drug, he probably had a decent understanding of Uridian electrical appliances. Recognizing a doorbell would be normal.

But when Loren opened the door, it wasn't a noble standing outside, but the King.

"Master Mentor... Bishop is currently unavailable. If you need assistance, I can also do my best to help..."

The King spoke very humbly. Ever since Loren moved here, he had been like an incompetent husband. Whenever Loren had matters, he directly bypassed levels and went straight to the Church, never giving this King a second thought.

So the King felt very defeated. When his informant placed within the Church told him Loren needed help and the Bishop happened to be absent, the King rushed over immediately.

"Fine, you'll do."

Loren didn't make a big deal of it either and agreed to the King's proposal.

Regarding this, the King felt a bit defeated, as if he were a useless spare tire, but he still acted extremely eager to please.
