Hearing
He didn't take off his coat, because the "
Emlyn, still in his immaculate tailcoat, sat down, leaned back against the backrest, and leisurely began:
"There's no need for all this trouble.
"Just give me your price if you have it, and tell me straight up if you don't.
"Of course, I'm sure you do."
He chuckled softly, his crimson eyes reflecting
This scene, where Emlyn knew Leonard had secrets while Leonard knew nothing about him, made Emlyn feel extremely pleased and superior.
Leonard ran his fingers through his black hair, casually sat down on the chair opposite, and smiled without any sign of panic or confusion:
"At least I need to know who wants it."
"Maybe it's me, maybe it's a friend of mine." Emlyn raised his chin slightly, smiling elegantly.
Leonard narrowed his eyes, tilting his head slightly as if thinking.
Finally, he let out a laugh: "Alright, since you've come with that emblem, I'll be honest with you. I do have a mystical item that can steal others' Beyonder abilities, but it's the only one. If you want to buy it, it's 7,000 pounds, non-negotiable."
7,000 pounds? Was such a mystical item this expensive? Even though he wasn't spending his own money, Emlyn was still startled, nearly losing his vampire composure.
His mind automatically converted the sum into how many dolls and doll dresses it could buy.
After two seconds of silence, Emlyn smiled and said, "I'll think about it and give you my answer in a day or two."
"Alright."
Leaving the house at 7 Pinsette Street, Emlyn acted as if nothing had happened, hiring a carriage to the North Borough Steam Subway Station, and returning all the way to Bridge South Borough.
Taking off his hat, looking back at the street where carriages passed and pedestrians came and went, Emlyn let out a low laugh and stepped into the Church of the Harvest.
Between a roadside tree and an iron-black gas lamp post, an indistinct shadow suddenly fluctuated, and
"A member of the
He paused for two seconds, then left Rose Street where the Church of the Harvest was located.

Above the Grey Fog, hearing "Moon" Emlyn's report, Klein almost blurted out a voice.
He had said something similar back when he was Gehrman Sparrow, but his feelings in those two scenarios were completely different.
According to the bounty price of Joderson the Bowtie, the third mate of the *Golden Dream*, Klein deduced the price of a similar mystical item was around 5,000 pounds, with a premium topping out at 6,000. Who would have thought
Could it be an article left behind by a higher Sequence, with stealing Beyonder abilities being just one of its effects? No, if that were the case, the price would indeed start at 10,000 pounds... Poet, how did I not know you were such a profiteer? You always acted so free-spirited and didn't care about money... Klein couldn't help but sigh a few times.
Since he already had a lead and saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and since money could solve it, Klein didn't want to seek other channels to avoid accidents.
He quickly calculated his assets and found he could afford the price:
"Counting the 300 pound advance commission from the Herbalist, the 5,400 pound bounty for the Sweet Liar, and the money looted from the corpse, minus the 200 pound reward paid to 'Magician' miss, I now have a total of 12,767 pounds in cash plus 5 gold coins. This doesn't include the 3 Sule 8 Pence in change.
"In addition, 'Justice' miss will pay the 2,000 pound debt and the 1,800 pounds for the 'Psychiatrist' characteristic before the end of this week. I'm much richer than I thought I was! Even in
Klein took a deep breath and, without further hesitation, made the banknotes fly from the top of the junk pile onto the table. He carefully counted out 7,500 pounds in cash and set them aside—7,000 for the mystical item, 500 for Emlyn's risk fee.
Sigh, toiling to earn over ten thousand pounds only to lose the majority in one go... Klein materialized "The World" and made him assume a prayer posture, informing Emlyn that everything was fine and a ritual would be held in a quarter of an hour to receive Mr. Fool's mediating grant. In addition, Klein had "The World" instruct "Moon" Emlyn not to rush to complete the transaction after receiving the cash, but to wait until tomorrow—he was afraid the angel of the Zoroastrian family within
