Cursed Immortality

Chapter 255 A Spy Of Society!

Orville removed the hood from his face, revealing his ash-gray goblin face. A golden monocle was resting in front of his left beastly eye. Although he looked like a scholar, there was a strange vile vibe around him that made anyone think twice before approaching him.

Especially his sharp eyes, which seemed to be cut right through any fabric and see every part of their body.

Orvilleʼs lips curled up, revealing his beastly white teeth as he looked at Bart and Ottoʼs stiff, smiling faces. He said in his hoarse voice, ”Seniors, youʼre giving me too much face. Please accept my bow.”

”Thereʼs no need. Youʼre 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.

Orvilleʼs 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 Bartʼs spine as he suddenly sensed a chilling aura leaked from Orville for a moment, and Otto was the same.

ʼJust many people did he kill to develop such a baleful aura?ʼ Otto thought gravely.

Still, he didnʼt 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. Itʼs 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 Orvilleʼs eyes when he heard ʼMasterʼ and said smilingly, ”If thatʼs the case, then I come at perfect timing. I should greet Mentor personally. Itʼs 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 didnʼt say anything as they knew that Number 1 was Orvilleʼs most precious test subject and also his bodyguard, and every time Orvilleʼs 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 Iʼm 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. Itʼs not a surprise Senior Braylon wanted to meet him.”

Orvilleʼs lips curled up in a strange smile as he asked, ”If Iʼm not wrong, his Star ID is called ʼFaceless Ancient,ʼ right?”

Ottoʼs 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. Itʼs just a pity that he canʼt 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 wonʼt join our ranks? Heʼs a true alchemist, and Iʼm 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.

ʼThis old idiot has nothing but pills in his head.ʼ He thought jeeringly.

Just as Otto suspected, Orville dropped a bombshell on Bart.

”Thatʼs the actual case, Senior Bart.” He sighed ruefully, ”If Iʼm not wrong, Senior Faceless Ancient is already a permanent member of Zodiac Warrior Alliance. Unless thereʼs no second ID with the same name, he canʼt 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 Jacobʼs hermit demeanor as he didnʼt 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 couldnʼt 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 Bartʼs and even Orvilleʼs expectations.

”Could it be heʼs a spy sent by the Killer Skull Society to sow discord among Dark City? Donʼt forget Dark Extermination Order on Killer Skull Society Members is still valid!”
