Chapter 61 A Thin Human Face
Charlotte thought that if she had the chance to meet Anne's "cousin", she would be able to expand her network and perhaps even gain a strong supporter for her marriage to Anne.

As for whether it would cause the other party to be disgusted, that was not within Charlotte's consideration. A serious person would never give up or do nothing just because of the possibility of failure. He would only make sufficient preparations and then bravely bear the consequences of failure.

Anne nodded vigorously and said, "My cousin will be back in Strasbourg in a few days. I'll help you arrange an appointment with him for afternoon tea."

Charlotte handed over a cup of brewed coffee and said, "Miss Anne, you are my lucky star!"

Anne was a little shy. She took the coffee and drank it in small sips very ladylikely.

Charlotte invited Anne to the terrace on the third floor to enjoy the view of the Lucavaro River. Anne readily agreed, and the two spent an afternoon on the terrace on the third floor.

Charlotte still did not get the privilege of having dinner with the beauty, and sent Anne away before dinner. He sent Anne to the alley, watched the girl's carriage leave, and was about to find a place to eat when he suddenly felt a chill and his insight was automatically activated.

A strange man with murderous intent was approaching him quickly, disguised as a passerby.

The man was already very close, and Charlotte realized instantly that it was too late to use the anti-space sniper rifle at such a close distance. This rifle still needed a loading procedure. He shook his wrist, and the blood rose cut through the air and was "thrown" directly out.

The assassin had not expected that Charlotte's reaction would be so direct and swift. He originally thought that he was well hidden and the target would not be able to discover him. Facing the blood rose that broke through the air, he had no time to make any unnecessary responses. He leaned back and used a move similar to the iron bridge, with his upper body almost parallel to the ground.

The blood rose brushed against his nose and was about to be shot away, but the blood-sucking sword miraculously turned lightly, came back, and circled around the assassin's neck.

Ding Ding Ding!
Three consecutive beeps.

The assassin had a dagger in his hand, which collided with Blood Rose three times in the split second, breaking Charlotte's fatal move.

Charlotte activated the blood flame energy and controlled the blood rose to continue changing her moves. At the same time, she took out the blood-sucking hand axe and threw it hard at the assassin's thigh.

The assassin didn't bother to hide his identity. His fighting spirit exploded and he kicked the blood-sucking axe away. The dagger in his hand changed several times in a row, sweeping away the blood rose. Then he turned around and ran away.

The assassins have come to the door.

How could Charlotte let him live?

This assassin has endless tricks up his sleeve and is stronger than Charlotte. Last time he sensed the danger and retreated, this time he was able to change his appearance.

Even though he was temporarily frightened by Blood Flame's skill in manipulating weapons, it was just the assassin's caution. If he continued to fight regardless of the consequences, there was a 99% chance that he would be able to defeat Charlotte.

If this assassin is prepared and makes a comeback, the newly promoted third-level clerk may not have a chance to survive.

Charlotte stuck the alchemical staff into the ground and took out the anti-space sniper rifle. The opponent was too close just now, and he didn't have time to take out the rifle. The opponent ran far away, which just gave the shooting distance.

Charlotte half squatted down, put his upper arms on his knees, and assumed a standard shooting posture. He never thought that his hands would be so steady when he fired!

The first magic-piercing armor-piercing bullet flew out and hit the assassin's left shoulder.

A special magic-breaking armor-blasting bullet was enough to kill a Titan demon with one shot. Even high-level transcendents like Ferdinand and Lord Leo could not withstand a single shot. Half of the assassin's body was gone, and the remaining half was blown far away by the residual power of the magic-breaking armor-blasting bullet.

Charlotte slammed the anti-space sniper rifle into the alchemical staff, recalled the vampire hatchet and blood rose, and quickly ran to the assassin. The assassin looked at him viciously and wanted to say something, but died before he could say it.

Charlotte touched a few things and took out a wallet, a dagger, and an alchemical pistol from the assassin. Just as she was about to get up to inform the patrol troops, something thin fell from the assassin's face.

A thin human face!

Under this thin human face is another unfamiliar face.

Charlotte suddenly realized something and thought to herself, "So he used this magic item to change his appearance. He disguised himself as Aubrey Teutonic Atwood at 1 Falcon Street, and this time he transformed into another face."

"Unfortunately, he doesn't know that I have insight!"

"I didn't even know that Insight had the ability to automatically activate itself against killing intent."

"This superpower saved my life again!"

Charlotte waved to a few little boys selling newspapers on the roadside and said, "Anyone who is willing to go to the Patrol Army Office at No. 1, Falcon Street, Lucavaro District to report the news can set off now. Ask Dupin to bring at least 50 people. I will give five centimes to the first place, four centimes to the second place, three centimes to the third place, two centimes to the fourth place, and one centime to the fifth place. There will be no reward after the fifth place."

Several little boys selling newspapers ran away, hoping to grab one and get the five centimes reward.

In less than an hour, Dubin came running over with a patrol army. Seeing the assassin on the ground, he couldn't help but said, "Boss! Did you use the same rifle you used last time? This thing is too powerful."

Charlotte shrugged and said, "Send the body to the mass grave outside the city. No need to register it!"

The patrol troops are responsible for the city's security. Although this is the Picardy district, the patrol troops did not come because of the fierce fighting in Picardy, so it is not a big problem for Charlotte to secretly do her job outside the jurisdiction.

After he got the spoils, he no longer wanted to investigate the case. Anyway, the culprit was the Fiery Horse Detective Agency, and the hatred between the two sides became deeper and deeper. Charlotte believed that a duel would not solve the problem. Even if the Fiery Horse Detective Agency was willing to give up temporarily, he would uproot the Fiery Horse Detective Agency when he had the strength.

The group of newspaper boys also followed back. Charlotte called them over and asked about their ranking. As expected, they were given tips and an extra consolation prize of one centime each. Even the children after fifth place could get a centime.

He lives on Champs-Elysees Garden Street, and these newsboys are all sharp-eyed. With this heroic move, it will be much more convenient to ask these kids to do things in the future.

Dupin had dealt with such cases many times. He used a shroud to take the assassin's body away. After the patrol troops left, the Champs-Elysées became bustling again.

Such is the way of this era.

No one cares about the life or death of strangers, and many residents are accustomed to such killings in the streets.

Charlotte returned to No. 58, Champs-Elysees, and took out her new loot. In her wallet there were fifteen ten-dollar bills and a little change. In addition, there was a note with an address on it: Chelsea Detective Agency, No. 5, Longburg Street, Alcatraz.
