Lord of Mysteries: The Color of the Stars

Chapter 78 Joint Law Enforcement

After arranging everything, Julian obtained the "Four-Leaf Clover Charm".

This was a silver amulet inlaid with emeralds and shaped like a four-leaf clover. After checking and confirming that it was correct, Julian put it on.

He then left Blackwood Seafood Company and drove back home.

"Phew, after a busy day, I can finally rest."

Julian, having taken a hot shower, leaned against the bed, feeling utterly exhausted.

Fortunately, everything was arranged and tomorrow was the day Julian would close the net.

He soon fell into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes the next day, it was already 8 o'clock.

Julian glanced at the ever-growing pile of books on the living room table, shook his head with a smile, and then went out to find Alexander Hoy.

"Mr. Albrecht."

Upon seeing Julian, Alexander immediately looked worried.

"What's wrong?"

Julian asked curiously.

"John Maynard accepted my invitation, and we will meet tonight at 6 p.m. at the 'Ode' restaurant at 36 King George Street in the Golden Roof district."

"But the problem is that Maynard said Sharon might not come, it depends on the situation."

"All right."

Julian nodded after hearing Alexander's words.

Disappointment was written all over his face, but he had actually expected it.

In fact, Julian deliberately had Dunn Smith release information the day before that the "Night Watchers" intended to investigate Mrs. Sharon. This was partly to lull the "Aurora Society" into a false sense of security, and partly to make Mrs. Sharon hesitant to attend the meeting.

"It's alright, just meet with Congressman Maynard as usual."

He forced a smile: "In any case, it's a good thing to be able to resolve the misunderstandings and differences between the two parties."

That being said—

Alexander nodded, then added, "But what about Sharon—"

"It's okay, we'll talk about it later. I believe this matter will be resolved."

"What if Sharon arrives tonight?"

Julian shook his head and offered words of comfort.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Alexander was somewhat unwilling, but at this point he had no other choice.

After the two parted ways, Julian went directly to "Blackthorn Security Company".

At this point, all the "Night Watchers" had been summoned back, including Luo Yao and Fry, who were on vacation the day before.

Julian had never seen such a complete lineup of "Night Watchers" before, and was momentarily speechless.

"Hey, Julian."

As soon as Leonard saw Julian, he put his arm around his shoulder: "I heard you have information on the Aurora Society's hideout."

"I'm very curious how you did it, after all, we've been investigating the Aurora Society for so long and haven't been able to find any clues about them."

"Honestly, you didn't infiltrate the 'Aurora Society' undercover, did you?"

Upon hearing Leonard's somewhat joking remark, Julian looked surprised: "How did you know? You weren't secretly spying on me, were you?"

"I'm not only an undercover agent in the Aurora Society, I'm now a high-ranking member, leading all the Aurora Society members in Tingen City!"

Well----

Leonard's smile froze upon hearing this, and Daly, who was next to him, burst out laughing.

"Julian, promise me you'll come to work at Blackthorn Security Company more often, okay?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard, whose expression was rather strange, with a knowing look.

Even Klein couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knew about Leonard's frivolous personality, but almost everyone adopted an indifferent or "whatever" attitude.

Julian, on the other hand, always responded to Leonard's jokes in an unexpected way, leaving the latter speechless.

"Everyone, be serious. Today's mission is of utmost importance."

Dunn spoke up at the opportune moment to remind him.

Then the captain of the "Night Watch" looked at Frye and Cohenley: "Frye, Cohenley, is the sealed artifact ready?"

"Ready, Captain."

Frye nodded and said, "Seal item 2-111, the 'Poison Orb' is ready."

The Poisonous Pearl — I've never heard of this sealed artifact before.

Julian pondered to himself upon hearing this. It sounded like some kind of sealed artifact capable of poisoning opponents. The reason Dunn had Frye and Cohen prepared this item in advance was most likely to be in response to the "Rose Bishop's" strange flesh magic.

After meeting the previous day, Dunn had a good chance of obtaining information about the "Rose Bishop's" abilities from the "Sanctuary," which is why he made such an arrangement.

"Well then, everyone, I wish you all the best in your mission."

Julian touched his top hat with his hand and gave a slight bow.

Julian, where are you going?

Klein asked, somewhat surprised.

He had previously assumed Julian would go on missions with the "Night Watchers," but now it seems the specially appointed expert advisor has no intention of doing so.

"I'm going to take care of some personal matters."

Julian didn't explain further, he just shook his head.

"—Go ahead."

Dunn naturally knew the inside story, so he didn't say anything and let them pass directly.

"Thank you, Captain."

Julian smiled and then left on his own.

He took a horse-drawn carriage to the vicinity of Chavez Road in the western district of Tingen.

He first hid in the shadows, then looked at a two-story house not far away.

This is the residence of Lanius and his fiancée Megous, and it is also one of the areas that the "Punisher" and the "Night Watcher" will focus on investigating today.

In fact, Julian did not tell anyone about Megaus, so neither the Punisher nor the Night Watcher knew what kind of monster the child in her womb was.

After waiting for about half an hour and as darkness fell, Julian suddenly saw three men dressed in plain clothes, whose bodies emanated extraordinary auras, approaching.

The men deliberately kept their distance, one of them carrying a silver briefcase that appeared to contain something.

Julian immediately realized that these people must be the "punishers" who were responsible for raiding the Lanius residence today.

On the other side, Dunn, Sega, Leonard, and Frye also walked over, pretending to be passersby.

As the two groups were about to meet, they all looked at Lanluus's two-story building and then surrounded it in a closed-off manner.

Immediately afterwards, Leonard and Sega simultaneously launched into a high-pitched hymn!
