Chapter 989 Mentor Alger

Upon hearing The Moons question, the rest of the Tarot Club members realized that the main instigator for the punishment had ended up with nothing to do!

According to the established plan, all he needed to do was provide the name, address, and appearance before waiting for the outcome. Miss Judgment was in charge of tracking and investigations to figure out the targets patterns. Miss Justice and Mr. Star would then choose a suitable location based on the feedback before Mr. Star threw the Sanguine into an unconscious state without attracting any attention. Miss Justice would then take this opportunity to complete a hypnotism act and make the target proceed to the predetermined location.

In this entire process, there was nothing for The Moon.

Uh... Audrey deliberated and said, Mr. Moon, what you need to do is to ensure that the hypnotized Sanguine doesnt encounter any accidents on the way to the cathedral, without him struggling or being rescued...

Upon saying that, Audrey suddenly realized a problem in the plan as she hurriedly added, If that Sanguine is extremely resistant towards the Church of Mother Earth, the hypnotic effects wouldnt be as effective. Therefore, I plan on avoiding this point if possible. I will imbue in him the thought of nabbing some target he hates so that he wouldnt realize that hes entering the intended cathedral during the pursuit. Uh, how about letting you be the target of his hatred? This will require you to be able to ensure your own safety while maintaining a distance without being caught. ...Its not a problem, Emlyn answered after some thought

With Duke Olmer removing the mental corruption of the Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire Beyonder characteristic, Emlyn just needed to wait till a full moon to become a viscount. That would place him equal to Ernes Boyar. And this opportunity was available next week. When that happened, he didnt believe that he would be caught up to by a viscount just like him when he was equipped with the Ancestors ring

If it really wont work, I can borrow Miss Magicians spellbook. I recall that there are powers in the wind domain... Emlyn was rather confident.

By the side, Leonard felt a baffling sense of horror when he heard the conversation between Miss Justice and Mr. Moon.

To him, no matter how terrifying a head-on battle was, it was nothing compared to the horror of doing something that went against his own will without him realizing it.

He paused for a moment and replied to the second problem that Emlyn had raised.

My payment is the same as Miss Judgment. I want a portion of the spoils.

To Leonard, this entire matter required him to determine the time and location to pull the target into a dream before he left. He didnt need to care if the operation was successful or if any accidents cropped up. It was as simple as heading to a coffee shop to order a cup of Desi coffee. The only thing that needed him to take into account was to not expose himself. Therefore, he couldnt bring himself to ask for an advanced payment, planning to obtain a cut from the final spoils of war.

In addition, he believed that this was a necessary thing to do in order to fully blend in with the Tarot Club. He didnt need to nitpick on such matters.

Audrey turned her head and glanced at Xio before retracting her gaze. Revealing a smile, she said, My request is the same as Mr. Star and Miss Judgment. Ill take a quarter of the spoils of war.

In fact, she wasnt insistent on getting payment, because she believed that the Sanguine had bullied a Tarot Club member and her two friends. Punishing him was something she expected of herself. The reason why she took a portion of the spoils of war was to take into account Mr. Moons feelings. She was afraid that her voluntary help would leave the prideful Sanguine embarrassed and angry.

Furthermore, Mr. Moon doesnt have any money, so the payment can only be the spoils of war... Audrey added silently.

Although she didnt deliberately keep count, based on her ability to take note of details and the memory of a Spectator, she believed that Mr. Moon, who had spent 5,000 pounds to purchase the Sequence 5 Artificial Vampire Beyonder characteristic, wasnt in the best financial state. Furthermore, he had to refund the intel fee that he earned.

Four participants, with each obtaining a piece of the spoils of war... Thats very fair... Emlyn nodded and surveyed the area.

Any other suggestions?

Fors asked in disbelief, Its that simple?

Thats a Sanguine equivalent to a Sequence 5. The plan you came up with sounds like it would succeed very easily...

In her mind, Sequence 5 Beyonders were the strongest among unaffiliated Beyonders. Some were even the host of gatherings. Even the powerful pirate admirals were of that Sequence, but now, in the conversation of The Star and the others, such a Sequence 5 was to be finished so simply. There didnt seem to be any difficulties!

Upon hearing her question, Leonard thought and said, As long as that Sanguine doesnt have any items that resist my powers, even if hes equivalent to a Sequence 5, Ill definitely be able to throw him into an unconscious state for some time. It will just depend on Miss Justice to grasp this opportunity.

If I arrange the location and make preparations ahead of time, Ill be fine, Audrey replied in a confirmatory tone.

She was actually a little uneasy. After all, this was her first time in battle, but her confidence over her Beyonder powers and knowledge in psychological mysticism allowed her to say those words with confidence.

After Fors heard the response, she suddenly felt her mind a little adrift.

Without realizing it, apart from Mr. World, the rest of the Tarot Club members have the ability to finish off Sequence 5 Beyonders as well...

Thats right. Miss Justice is already a Sequence 6 Hypnotist. With the cooperation of a Beyonder of the same level, there really is a relatively high chance of hypnotizing a Sequence 5 Beyonder...

Just as Emlyn felt that this matter had been settled without needing any more questions to be raised, Alger, who had been observing from the side, spoke:

As members of a secret organization, I believe that everything needs to be considered at a deeper level.

Ah? Emlyn and Leonard cast their gaze at Mr. Hanged Man with a puzzled look.

Audrey and Xio were taken aback before they realized something

Alger cleared his throat and looked at Derrick.

Since Delaire Forests abandoned ancient castle was a test, why isnt the obvious Sanguine a test as well?

Exactly... I knew that Mr. Hanged Man wouldve given a warning... The Fool Klein controlled The World Gehrman Sparrow to nod. Cattleya then looked at The Hanged Man with a look of approval and agreement.

This... Emlyns pupils constricted, at a loss for a retort.

In an instant, he found himself too careless!

Leonard was taken aback. Immediately, he realized that he was too desultory. He had involved himself without fully understanding the details and without consideration of any latent risks.

Of course, this style had to do with his identity as an official Beyonder and its thought processes.

As expected of Mr. Hanged Man. He considers all the details with such meticulousness... Audrey, you need to build up more experience! Audrey focused on something else as she asked, So we need to abandon the punishment and take action when the Sanguine are unable to maintain the secret surveillance?

Alger chuckled and said, Theres no need to. Just a few acts of misdirection would do.

He then looked at Emlyn and said, First, hand the investigation of the Sanguine to bounty hunters in Backlund. Use their existence to hide Miss Judgments actions. Second, when determining the location, try to do it near an orthodox deitys cathedral. This will effectively disrupt any subsequent divinations. Third, before Miss Justice and the others take action, you have to do something that leaves one suspicious but is nothing eye-catching. Make it seem like you will be exacting revenge somewhere else so as to attract the eyeballs of the secret monitor away; thus, creating the desired opportunity. This is combined with the first point. Fourth, only after the Sanguine is successfully hypnotized do you become the bait.

Having said that, Alger paused.

If theres the addition of anti-divination and anti-prophecy at the demigod level, this entire matter will be flawless.

Of course, Miss Justice, Mr. Star, you must be disguised during the operation, without leaving behind any traces.

This speech left most of the members taken aback, especially Derrick. He couldnt help show his respect and amazement.

Although he had no means of participating in this punishment operation, as a member of the Tarot Club, he couldnt help but be concerned and pensive about such matters that required a clear line of thought. He hadnt noticed any problems with the original plan of Mr. Moon and company, so now, he couldnt help but be impressed by Mr. Hanged Mans ability in such matters!

Emlyn thought and said, You mean that I should use a superficial form of punishment to hide Miss Justices and Mr. Stars secret operation? Its like... Its like I would make it appear that Ill take action in a particular corner of a square after the target leaves a coffee shop, attracting all the attention, but in actual fact, Miss Justice and company would have already completed the hypnosis inside the coffee shop without anyone realizing it?

Alger nodded gently.

Thats right.

I learned something new! Mr. Hanged Man really is an experienced Beyonder! Audrey felt overjoyed receiving an epiphany.

The problem now is where are we to find an item or charm with anti-divination and anti-prophecy effects at the demigod level? Leonard also felt that he had enriched himself greatly as he asked.

He wasnt too worried about himself since he had an angel grandpa in him.

Fors made an utterance before saying, I can lend out Leymanos Travels. On it theres Angels Embrace. I can also take one portion of the spoils of

war.

As she said that, she secretly glanced at The World Gehrman Sparrow, heaving a sigh of relief when he saw the gentleman silent.

Unbeknownst to her, The Fool Klein had a very simple thought: Angels Embrace... That sounds so much better than Paper Angel...

With the punishment operation finally confirmed, Audrey didnt hesitate as she surveyed the area.

I met the Psychology Alchemistss councilor, Hvin Rambis, last week.

What? Hvin Rambis is a councilor of the Psychology Alchemists? Leonard sat up in surprise. He had the urge to immediately report it to the archbishop and gather a team to arrest him.

It was an occupation hazard.
