BXBX NOVEL Chapter 255 A Spy Of Society!
Orville\'s lips curled up, revealing his beastly white teeth as he looked at Bart and Otto\'s stiff, smiling faces. He said in his hoarse voice, "Seniors, you\'re giving me too much face. Please accept my bow."
"There\'s no need. You\'re too polite!" Bart horridly waved his hands as his smile stiffened even more.
"Yes. You, young fellow, visit after a very long time, so we are very happy to see you." Otto also quickly denied it as he was much more natural at showing his fake expression than Bart. Still, a hint of apprehension was deeply hidden in his eyes.
Orville\'s smile widened even more as he nodded, "You both truly treated me quite well. It seemed the others were still busy with their own matter that they even come to greet me." Orville sighed ruefully.
However, a chill ran down Bart\'s spine as he suddenly sensed a chilling aura leaked from Orville for a moment, and Otto was the same.
\'Just many people did he kill to develop such a baleful aura?\' Otto thought gravely.
Still, he didn\'t dare to voice it out and pretended not to notice anything and said amiably, "Hahaha, Yong Fellow, you sure miss everyone, and I would like to inform you that everyone missed you a lot as well. It\'s not like they were reluctant to meet you, but they are gone to the inner circle city gate to receive your Master."
A peculiar light flashed past Orville\'s eyes when he heard \'Master\' and said smilingly, "If that\'s the case, then I come at perfect timing. I should greet Mentor personally. It\'s been quite a while since our last face-to-face chat."
He then looked back, and his voice turned emotionless as he said, "You five will wait on my old floor meanwhile. Number 1, lead them there."
The cloaked figure, who was 7 feet tall and standing in the middle of the five, bowed in acknowledgment. And after Orville left the lift, he operated it and headed to the floors with the magic smith facility.
Those two old men didn\'t say anything as they knew that Number 1 was Orville\'s most precious test subject and also his bodyguard, and every time Orville\'s appeared here, he would bring a new guard with him.
Orville turned around as his smile returned to his face. He suddenly through an unexpected question at those two, which caught them off guard.
"If I\'m not wrong, Mentor is coming here for the newly appointed Senior Grandmaster, right?"
Otto replied without hiding it, "Yes. Senior Grandmaster Jack is really a rare genius in the mech department. It\'s not a surprise Senior Braylon wanted to meet him."
Orville\'s lips curled up in a strange smile as he asked, "If I\'m not wrong, his Star ID is called \'Faceless Ancient,\' right?"
Otto\'s eyes shimmered in a peculiar light as he nodded, "Indeed. It appeared You, young fellow, also interested in Young Friend Jack, huh?"
"Of course, how could I not be interested in the youngest senior grandmaster of our Rare Plains history? Senior Faceless Ancient is worth my respect. It\'s just a pity that he can\'t join our true ranks. What a pity." Orville sighed ruefully as he shook his head as if he was feeling really regretful.
Bart was startled by this sudden comment by Orville, "Why would Young Friend Jack won\'t join our ranks? He\'s a true alchemist, and I\'m sure he would be thrilled to join the guild as a permanent member."
Otto, on the other hand, remains silent as a mocking sheen shines in his eyes while looking at Bart. He clearly knew what Orville was implying here.
\'This old idiot has nothing but pills in his head.\' He thought jeeringly.
Just as Otto suspected, Orville dropped a bombshell on Bart.
"That\'s the actual case, Senior Bart." He sighed ruefully, "If I\'m not wrong, Senior Faceless Ancient is already a permanent member of Zodiac Warrior Alliance. Unless there\'s no second ID with the same name, he can\'t join our side as a permanent member at all. What a waste of talent."
Bart was flabbergasted when he heard this unexpected piece of news and blurted, "How can that be? Have you mistaken him for someone else?"
Bart has a very good impression of Jacob, and he pays attention to him, and he is quite pleased with Jacob\'s hermit demeanor as he didn\'t leave his lab to socialize with other grandmasters at all.
In a sense, Bart sees his younger self in Jacob, who is full of potential and has nothing but alchemy in his heart. The person who recommended Jacob to Braylon was also Bart as well.
However, now he heard that Jacob was already a member of the alliance, he felt that fate was playing tricks on him.
With a regretful expression, Orville revealed, "I hope this was the case. Because a few years ago, another person with the same name as Faceless Ancient became the center of attention in the Star News. Someone leaked the information that he joined the Alliance as a permanent member because he was a blanker.
"However, strangely, he got kidnapped by the Killer Skull Society after a concise period of time after he joined the alliance. Thereafter, he never made a public appearance again, nor did the Nightmare Knight Legion comment on it.
"But this incident case quite a strife among Night Commander Nixon and the Killer Skull Society. However, now another Faceless Ancient has appeared in our branch. I couldn\'t help but wonder if they were the same person." He said with a sly sheen in his eyes.
Otto, who was pretending to be shocked, finally blurted, and the words he spoke were out of Bart\'s and even Orville\'s expectations.
"Could it be he\'s a spy sent by the Killer Skull Society to sow discord among Dark City? Don\'t forget Dark Extermination Order on Killer Skull Society Members is still valid!"
