Should I raise you too?

He also noticed that the scarred man leading the group reached for his waist; it seemed the other man had a gun.

It's normal for a small gang leader to have a gun; in fact, it's more accurate to say that only the boss has a gun, which shows how much the gangsters in the capital have declined.

Alright, the combat strength has been analyzed. Now, how should we proceed with the male servant? Elisa wondered.

Ten skilled fighters, plus a pistol, and this is their headquarters—the situation is dire. The servant who has just become a superhuman will likely find it difficult to fight them off.

If I were the male servant, I would have two choices. One is to leave first, and then launch a sneak attack when there are fewer people in the tavern.

Secondly, I need to demonstrate my strength, take down two or three guys, then negotiate with Scarface, find out about Little Beth's family, and warn them to stay away.

Which path will the male servant choose?

Elisa has seized the "Mirror of Mist" and is ready to use "Mirror Crossing" to provide support at any time.

Simon told the gangsters that he hadn't gone to the wrong place and that he was going to take on ten of them.

Are you really going this far? Can you really do it?

Elisa sat up and looked at "Simon's Journal" with concern.

Simon scattered a handful of small copper coins.

The copper coin landed on the ground with a crisp sound. The tavern was dimly lit, and the room was filled with tables and chairs. The tumbling copper coin disappeared into the shadows of the tables and chairs.

As the leader of the Brown Street gang, Rupert had exceptional observational skills. He recognized that the small copper coins were 1/4 pennies, ten in total.

He couldn't understand why this audacious fellow would throw out a handful of coins to distract himself. Only a child would think a quarter penny was a lot and would pick up those small copper coins.

On the table in front of him lay the gang's earnings for the week, a total of £24. After deducting wages for his men, he could keep £10.

How could someone like him possibly be tempted by such a cheap copper coin?

Huh? How did I end up lying under the table?

Looking at the small copper coin in his hand, Rupert was first puzzled, then greatly surprised.

not good!

A gust of wind came from behind him, and Rupert immediately rolled forward to avoid it, while reaching for his waist and drawing his revolver.

After completing the roll, he quickly turned around, his gun barrel and eyes fixed on the attacker.

The attacker spread his arms, revealing a bronze badge on his chest, a badge shaped like a scarab beetle.

A bright light flashed across the badge.

Rupert was about a meter and a half away from the attacker. The light from the badge was not bright and not dazzling. He was alert and stared at it, thinking that the light was just an activation signal. However, he found that his eyes were stinging and tears blurred his vision.

What's going on?!

Simon used the 'Scarab Badge,' which glowed, and then he used the Truth Spell. He reasoned that anyone who looked directly at the light would experience a stinging sensation in their eyes and temporarily lose their sight.

On the bed, Elisa stared blankly at the logbook.

This "scarab badge" can be used in this way!

Isn't your "Truth" spell going too far?

That gang leader seemed to be very experienced in dealing with enemies. If the "Scarab Badge" had emitted a strong light, he definitely wouldn't have looked at it. It was precisely because it wasn't dazzling that he was fooled!

Simon exclaimed, "The 'Flashbang' ability of the 'Scarab Badge' is truly useful; its effect is excellent!"

No, the "Scarab Badge's" ability is "purification," not "flashbang"! Apologize to it right now!

Elisa rubbed her forehead and lay back down in bed.

This male servant's methods are increasingly insidious; I worried about him for nothing! I should be worried about the mental health of the gangsters!

"The effect of throwing money around on other gangs is about to wear off," Simon said, kicking Scarface, who dodged the attack.

What? You can still dodge even without sight?

Elisa sat up again, reviewed the log, and found a possibility.

Those are extraordinary beings!

Hang in there!

She threw off the covers, not even bothering to change her pajamas, picked up the "Mirror of Fog," and infused it with spiritual energy.

The gray fog spread across the dressing mirror. Using the location left in the "Green Flower Ring," she quickly pinpointed the manservant's location and found the mirror in the Brown Street tavern.

She crawled into the mirror.

She popped out again.

Looking at "Simon's Diary," Elisa sighed helplessly; she had worried for nothing again.

"Simon is certain. Scarface is indeed a superhuman. He escaped the money-spraying trap too quickly and even demonstrated the ability to locate objects by sound."

Rupert closed his eyes, rolled over again, knocking over a chair while dodging the attacker's side kick.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. If he hadn't been an extraordinary individual in the "thug" field, possessing combat instincts and the ability to pinpoint sounds, he would have been defeated by his opponent just now!

But now, the situation has reversed, and he has won.

Rupert smiled, closed his eyes, and pointed his gun at the attacker.

"Sound localization" couldn't pinpoint the exact location, but he had six bullets in his revolver, and he refused to believe he wouldn't hit the target with a single shot.

He tightened his right index finger, the force of the trigger came through, and he heard a 'clang' sound before the bullet was fired.

That was the sound of a small copper coin falling to the ground, from his right.

No! Why should I realize that!

Rupert felt a surge of intense desire for money welling up inside him. He dropped his revolver and lunged uncontrollably at the small copper coins!

Chapter 46 A Second Blossom

By the time Rupert realized what was happening, he was already sprawled on the ground, clutching a handful of small copper coins in each hand, with a few more practically in his mouth.

The stinging sensation in his eyes had subsided, and his vision returned. He turned around to see the masked attacker holding the revolver he had dropped, the muzzle pointed at him.

His underlings stood beside him, not daring to make any rash moves, waiting for him to make a decision.

Rupert reviewed the entire battle, cursing inwardly. "Damn it, where did this superhuman come from? I was on the defensive the whole time, unable to mount even a single counterattack!"

His technique is clearly not powerful, and his level might not even be as high as mine, so why am I completely powerless to resist?

What were those two strange spells? Whether it was forcibly picking up money or using a flashbang, they were both too insidious! I'm the one who's the cunning and treacherous gangster!

Simon saw frustration, anger, and grief in Scarface's eyes.

Elisa looked at the logbook, feeling joyful.

Finally, someone else feels the same way I do. The male servants' abilities are all illogical, like throwing lime powder in a fighting match.

The scarred man dismissed his henchmen and spoke with Simon alone.

"From him, Simon learned about what happened to Beth's family. A big shot had instructed Scarface to keep an eye on Beth's family, but only to keep an eye on them. They posed no threat and it wasn't a high priority."

"Scarface didn't know the details of the murder, but he guessed it might be a ritual or a form of training. There had been more than one such murder in the East District."

Is this not the only one in the East District?

Alyssa frowned. Neither Susanna nor Eleanor knew about this intelligence. The police department's affairs concerned the military's reputation, so suppressing information was understandable. But why was intelligence on other attacks in the East District hidden?

This is no longer an ordinary case involving superhumans; it is clearly being manipulated by those in power.

I should have known better than to let the male servant go.

The male servant has just become a superhuman, and even if he is cunning, it is still somewhat dangerous for him to get involved in such an event.

Simon tied up Scarface, picked up the cash on the table, and found a safe in the office behind the pub.

Simon asked Scarface for the combination to the safe, to which Scarface replied that he wouldn't reveal it unless Simon shot him in the head.

Elisa nodded; this scarred man was the gangster she knew. He was threatening the servant, implying he had backup plans and the ability to fight to the death, hoping the servant would know when to stop.

Unfortunately, this gang leader underestimated my male servant.

"Under Scarface's horrified gaze, Simon poked the combination lock with a key, and the lock clicked open."

Simon absconded with the gold pounds and luxury goods inside.

Scarface hesitated for a long time before making a move, much to Simon's regret that he hadn't yet used his "Green Flower Ring".

Using the "Green Flower Ring"? But the ring's ability is "healing," not a combat-related supernatural item... No, the "Scarab Badge" isn't a combat-related supernatural item either. The male servant always finds insidious ways to use them.

After inquiring about some things in the East District, Simon turned and left. Scarface mocked him, asking why he hadn't picked up the small copper coins on the ground as well.

This is an accusation that the male servant robbed the safe.

Simon readily agreed, using his revolver to force Scarface to pick up all the small copper coins and hand them back to him.

"...?"

You really don't even spare small copper coins?

Even if it were me, I wouldn't let it go either. Anyway, if Scarface has to pick it up, it's Scarface who will lose face!

Simon gave Scarface another warning and left the tavern.

The male servant's first independent mission was over, and Teacher Elisa gave him an A grade, which is the highest score.
