I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 431 - 294: Inheritance Turmoil

Chapter 431: Chapter 294: Inheritance Turmoil

The Black Knife Brotherhood’s reliance in Peacock City was on those three Black Knife Assassins.

But in front of Chen Lun, they were like children, all killed within less than two minutes.

After getting rid of them, Chen Lun used the power of “Moonlight in Palm” to summon the soul of Viscount Harrington and conducted a detailed interrogation, finally confirming the opportunity he had been searching for, secretly stored in the study of his own villa.

Then, Chen Lun divined the underground base of the Black Knife Brotherhood in Peacock City through the objects carried by the Black Knife Assassins and flew there directly using “Aerial Walk.”

He then commenced a massacre.

A group of Low Sequence Transcendents, in the face of unmatched power, were like clean pigs, slaughtered at will. A few members who were outside luckily escaped the ordeal, but Chen Lun was too lazy to hunt them down individually, as they were no longer a threat.

...

In just half an hour, he effortlessly eliminated this major problem in the Peacock City shelter, then slowly made his way back to the vineyard.

Like a gentleman who had just bought candy and was strolling home.

On the way back, Chen Lun diverted part of his attention to the rewards of the completed mission.

In addition to the basic Experience Points and currency, he also successfully obtained hidden rewards, namely “1 Blessing Point” and “High Affection from the Royal City Shelter.” After all, the mission target was only to investigate the mastermind and stop the auction, but Chen Lun flipped the table and killed almost everyone, which could certainly be considered as exceeding expectations.

He was a bit surprised by this hidden reward.

‘To think there would be Blessing Points involved, and it even has connections to the headquarters of the Royal City Shelter…’

Chen Lun couldn’t speculate the specific reasons at the moment, but he felt it probably wasn’t a bad thing.

After returning to the vineyard, Chen Lun greeted Floey and the others before settling down on the sofa to sort through his gains.

He first upgraded with the Experience Points he had accumulated over this period.

From hunting down the Red Apple Church in Fanglead City and dismantling the Black Knife Brotherhood, along with the mission rewards, he totaled about one hundred and fifty thousand.

Chen Lun directly upgraded “Sequence Six – Aerial Acrobat” to level 26, once again enhancing his panel attributes. Although he had reached the threshold of a Sequence Six Transcendent, the benefits brought about by upgrading his main occupation were not reduced.

What should be was there.

However, he decided not to spend his Attribute Points again, as doing so would incur a penalty where 2 Attribute Points were needed to add 1 point to his attributes, which was not cost-effective.

So, he chose to save up his Attribute Points. It would be ideal to use them after accumulating to Sequence Five, but if really necessary, he would use them temporarily.

Finally, he allocated the hard-earned 1 Blessing Point once again to “Nature’s Favor (Blessing)”, raising it to LV4. The effect now added 4 points to all Attributes and 4 points to the “Beast Tamer” Skills.

With this, of the ten memory slots in “Animal Mimicry,” nine could now accommodate the characteristics of Supernatural Creatures.

‘Very good… Push a bit more and max out the main occupation soon!’ Chen Lun thought.

‘If I encounter suitable Supernatural Creature characteristics, I can also update it like “Ultimate Beauty.”‘

The unexpected death of Viscount Harrington brought turmoil and chaos to his family.

Miss Tracey finally regained her freedom, with no one to restrict her outings anymore.

But at the same time, she was caught in the sorrow of losing her father.

The day after Viscount Harrington died from a stray bullet, his body was buried as scheduled, with many members of the Harrington family dressed in black to attend the funeral.

That evening, Tracey uncharacteristically came to the vineyard to find Chen Lun.

Chen Lun, bravely facing the situation, invited Miss Tracey into the vineyard, allowing her to sit on the sofa and pour out her sorrows while he listened silently next to her.

“Mr. Jack, I don’t know what to do… I am very sad now, but I am also very angry, those uncles and aunts, at this very moment, they are quarreling fiercely over my father’s property and title.”

Chen Lun was a bit puzzled.

It was only after questioning that he learned that Viscount Harrington didn’t have a son, only three daughters, the eldest of whom was Miss Tracey, and she had two younger sisters who were too young to understand anything.

Although by rights, Tracey entirely had the right to inherit, she told Chen Lun that those relatives also had significant influence and plenty of ways to take everything that belonged to her.

Her mother was too weak to be of any help to her.

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow, an idea forming in his mind.

Now that he knew the location of[B-grade Mysterious Object – Hope Workshop], right there in the viscount’s study, he could retrieve it at any time.

Why not take the opportunity to help Tracey ascend and inherit all of Viscount Harrington’s estates, thus gaining some assistance from the Harrington family in his following quests for the second and third opportunities?

“Miss Trill, if you trust me, I can help you claim everything that rightfully belongs to you,” Chen Lun said with a smile.

Tracey was suddenly stunned.

She hadn’t expected that in her most helpless moment, there would still be someone to assist her.

“Thank you, Mr. Jack… I, I don’t know what to say,” Tracey said, overwhelmed with emotion.

Although she saw Mr. Jack merely as a magician from the circus, she chose to trust him without hesitation.

She stood up, emotionally moved to embrace Chen Lun.

“Ahem.”

From the corner of his eye, Chen Lun spotted a figure in a black dress on the staircase, immediately stood up, and politely declined Miss Tracey’s embrace.

Displaying a polite smile, he said:

“It is getting late, let me take you home, Miss Trill.”

“Ah… Okay, Mr. Jack,” Tracey said somewhat disappointedly, but obediently nodded her head.

Until they walked out of the villa, Chen Lun felt like there were thorns on his back.

As if there were fish crawling all over him.

Next morning.

Harrington Viscount Manor.

The villa’s hall was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder.

A few middle-aged gentlemen and noblewomen sat on luxurious leather armchairs, each with a gloomy expression, silent. Three lawyers dressed in suits dared not even breathe, merely wiping sweat and arranging the documents on the table.

Tracey sat alone at the main seat, next to her mother, Mrs. Harrington, who held her two young sisters in her arms, looking helplessly at these relatives with a pleading look in her eyes.

But the middle-aged gentlemen and noblewomen chose to ignore it.

“Miss Tracey, please sign your name at the bottom of these documents.”

One of the bald lawyers walked up to Tracey, gently placed the documents on the table, and handed her a pen. His expression was smiling, and his tone very respectful.

Tracey took the pen, feeling somewhat nervous under the intense gaze of her aunts and uncles.

But then, thinking of Mr. Jack’s promise last night, she felt reassured slightly.

“I won’t sign.”

Tracey put down the pen, declaring decisively.

“Hmm?”

A middle-aged gentleman stood up, leaning on his wooden cane, and strode over to Tracey, looking down at her.

“Trill, didn’t we agree yesterday that if you renounce the inheritance from my brother, we can ensure Mrs. Harrington, you, and your two sisters won’t need to worry about necessities, nor suffer humiliation from outsiders?”

“I’ve changed my mind… This originally belonged to me, and I don’t want to just give it away.”

Tracey gritted her teeth and looked up directly at her uncle.

“Ha… Trill, you’re still too young.”

The middle-aged gentleman sneered, shaking his head.

The somewhat plump noblewoman also stood up, wobbling over to the table, tapped the documents, and said indifferently:

“Even if you do not sign, you won’t get even a bit of the Viscount’s property… Don’t forget, we all have shares in the family assets. Without your father to back you up, they would soon be devoured entirely…”

The noblewoman’s face showed impatience.

She and several brothers had argued most of the night, finally dividing the Viscount’s wealth, but now, this young girl was causing problems.

What a headache!

At that moment.

Miss Tracey suddenly turned her head, seeing something that brought a delighted expression to her face.

Two figures, one tall and one short, followed the butler into the hall.

“Mr. Jack! You’ve finally arrived!”

She quickly stood up, joyfully saying.

Simultaneously, the anxiety in her heart vanished at that moment.

“Miss Trill, I hope I’ve not come too late.”

Chen Lun greeted with a smile.

Tracey shook her head, turning her gaze back to Mr. Jack’s side, to the fair-skinned young man. He wore round-framed glasses and had a shy smile on his face.

She didn’t know why Mr. Jack had brought a young man, but she did not inquire further.

“Trill, is this your lawyer?”

The middle-aged gentleman scrutinized Chen Lun, scoffing.

“I’m just a friend of Miss Trill.”

Chen Lun offered a polite smile.

“A friend?”

The noblewoman suddenly laughed, extending a chubby finger adorned with two gem rings, pointing at Chen Lun.

“I know you… the magician from the City Garden Grand Theater! But what qualifications do you have to be friends with the Harrington family? You’re nothing but a lowly trickster!”

“Auntie! You’re being rude!”

Miss Tracey was rather angered.

The noblewoman’s face turned cold, disregarding the furious Tracey, and showed undisguised contempt to Chen Lun, scolding:

“Leave immediately… otherwise you will be severely taught a lesson by the security! To the point you won’t even be able to hold that ridiculous magic wand for the rest of your life!”

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow, shrugging his shoulders.

“Well, I was originally planning to reason with you… but it seems unnecessary now.”

He patted Noah on the shoulder, whispering:

“I leave it to you now, Noah.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jack.”

Noah chuckled.

Chen Lun turned again to Miss Tracey and said:

“Miss Trill, could you please show me around the villa?”

“Ah… of course, Mr. Jack.”

Tracey was momentarily stunned, then squeezed out a smile.

“It’s just…”

Her gaze shifted back to her uncle and aunt, their faces turning livid, seemingly on the verge of fury.

Tracey was worried, afraid they might do something to harm Mr. Jack.

“Scoundrel! An outsider dares to command us here!”

The middle-aged gentleman was furiously enraged, raising his cane to smash it onto Chen Lun’s head.
