Chapter 199: Chapter 199: The External Aid of the Mellon Family
Tang Qi’s ears caught a name that surprised him.
He did not look towards the source of the sound; instead, he listened carefully to the noisy chatter around him, which, as he had anticipated, was almost entirely composed of Transcendents discussing the situation within Messer City, especially the battle that had taken place during the day.
There were actually many well-informed individuals. Many Transcendents even knew the parties involved in the war.
The Mellon Family!
Hastu Club!
But when it came to the details of the conflict, naturally, none were as informed as Tang Qi.
However, there were some who knew pieces of information unknown to Tang Qi.
At this moment, once Tang Qi had filtered out all other noise, the voices of two individuals engaged in conversation reached him.
These two must be Transcendents who had gotten drunk.
It seemed one was a local Transcendent from Messer City, and the other was a visitor. Each boasted about their insider knowledge of the war, and apart from trying to prove to the other who was more mysterious and powerful, they also bet on the outcome of the war.
Unexpectedly, the visitor supported the Mellon Family.
While the local was in favor of the Hastu Club.
But soon, Tang Qi understood where the outsider’s confidence in the Mellon Family stemmed from.
The man began by saying, “The words I just said, I didn’t deceive you, believe me, with that ally joining, the odds for the Mellon Family have greatly increased.”
Then he added mysteriously, “Actually coming from Selle State, in search of the secrets of the Profession, it was this pursuit that led me to travel everywhere. Before coming to your Messer City, I accidentally stumbled upon an intensely terrifying Extraordinary Battle.”
“The combatants, one side was the most dreadful Extraordinary Force from Selle State, the Plunderer Society, while the other side was a single person, a Black Witch.”
“Both sides were too horrifying. I thought I had possessed great strength, but it wasn’t until I witnessed that battle that I realized I was just like an ant, completely powerless in the face of real strength.”
“Fortunately, at that time, I was far enough away and had a Curio to hide my presence, preventing either side from discovering me, and I was able to watch from start to finish as I pleased.”
“That Black Witch was very powerful; she originally seemed to be from the Plunderer Society, and the reason the battle occurred was that the Black Witch wanted to break away from the Society to join another Extraordinary Force, which appeared when the Black Witch was at a disadvantage.”
“That’s right, it was the Mellon Family.”
“Let me tell you, the subsequent scene of the battle was simply…”
…
Tang Qi still didn’t turn his head to look at the two, nor did he need to; he could sense that the Transcendent from Selle State was not lying.
This was a minor benefit of cultivating the “Body Control Spell,” deducing from the flow of blood and the heartbeat within the speaker’s body, everything he said was true.
Which meant that Samra had indeed… returned.
The name Tang Qi caught was Samra.
The Selle State Transcendent’s reasoning that the Mellon Family would win was because the family had secured the support of a real “Professional Level” powerhouse, the Black Snake Witch Samra.
From this point of view, his judgment seemed quite reasonable.
Perhaps Samra’s combat power was not as exceptional as Hall or Sith, but her being at the Professional Level was without a doubt.
“What a real surprise!”
Suddenly obtaining such information, Tang Qi first showed shock, and then indeed, a look of delight emerged on his face.
His trap had already been set for some time.
The bait or, rather, the gift, had also been placed inside.
But the prey Tang Qi was waiting for had yet to appear; he had initially thought that perhaps, after losing an avatar, Samra had developed a fear of the Hastu Club, this “target of revenge,” planning to accumulate enough strength on the outside before killing her way back to Messer City.
Unexpectedly, Samra ultimately returned to Messer as the Mellon Family’s foreign aid.
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, then downed the “Warm Dawn” in his hand in one gulp.
When that “egg-yolk” like substance mixed with the cold liquor surged into Tang Qi’s belly, there was a “boom” in his mind. Warm sunlight and gentle breezes came with a smell mixed with earth, grass, and morning dew.
What a delightful feeling!
When Tang Qi opened his eyes, he felt his mind and spirit exceptionally serene, with various thoughts flashing without any obstruction.
It was a different effect from “Agile Thinking,” and even better.
Tang Qi smiled faintly, then suddenly knocked on the bar counter. When Savoy’s head leaned over, Tang Qi pointed to the “Fried Lava Fruit” that hadn’t been touched and then said, “Bartender, please send these to those two guests for a taste, and bring two more glasses of Tyrone Tree Beer on top. It’s on me, but no need for their thanks.”
“Understood, respected guest.”
As Savoy caught on to his meaning and Tang Qi’s voice fell, he casually tossed a few Divine Graces down and had already drifted away from the Mysterious Bar.
He didn’t linger any further in the market, and moments later, he appeared atop the Ghost Carriage.
With the materials for Demon Hunting and Petrification bullets collected, and having received a piece of surprisingly good news, Tang Qi had no reason to idle about.
Now on the carriage, Tang Qi was deep in thought.
He could easily guess Samra’s intentions; after being continuously deceived by him and the annihilation of her family, her hatred had been transferred onto the Hastu Club. For revenge, Samra didn’t hesitate to leave the Plunderer Society and join the Mellon Family.
Clearly, she also knew about the current situation in Messer City and probably thought with her aid, the Mellon Family could gain the upper hand and then wipe out the club to avenge her family.
At the same time, she would certainly leverage the Mellon Family’s power to do certain things.
Like… grave robbing!
Tang Qi seemed to think of something, reached into his pocket and pulled out a one-way iron plate, intending to summon McGraw back.
The trap he had set for Samra actually wasn’t dangerous on the surface.
No matter how one dug, there was no danger.
The real “gift” was Professor Cassel, who was currently merging with a body inside.
“When Samra opens the gift, I must be there, so…”
“Huh.”
Tang Qi suddenly put away the iron plate and then abruptly pulled out something else from his chest.
A shadow appeared, a much-shrunken head of a Night Beast emerged, silently hissing at Tang Qi, seemingly asking a question.
“While McGraw has improved in strength, it’s still impossible for him to monitor an existence of Samra’s level, but for you, little guy, it’s much simpler.”
“Off you go, little guy, this is the first task you need to complete for me, your master.”
“Buzz.”

As he spoke, Tang Qi suddenly lifted a finger and lightly touched the Night Beast’s head.
A fragment of information was simultaneously transmitted to the little guy.
