He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

"That's quite a grand gesture!"

Rorschach fiddled with the brass mask in his hand, his curiosity growing about Night Owl, whom he had not yet met.

After all, they hadn't even met in person, and Luo Xia hadn't even signed with Night Owl Arena yet, but the other party directly gave him a life source artifact worth a thousand gold pieces as a greeting gift.

That's incredibly extravagant!

Rorschach simply removed the cheap tin mask from his face and casually tossed it into a nearby trash can.

After all, trash should be thrown into the trash can.

Then he took off his clothes and went straight into the bathroom, letting the warm water wash away the smell of blood and sweat.

After washing up, Luo Xia looked at himself in the full-length mirror, his muscles clearly defined, his eight-pack abs as if sculpted by a knife and axe, and his skin with a subtle jade-like sheen. He then stroked his chin with a touch of narcissism and said:

"He's so handsome. If he were in my past life, he would have captivated countless beautiful girls."

"Unfortunately, now I can only face a great emperor's hook..."

Luo Xia shook his head with regret, then dried himself off, put on the custom-made black trench coat, and slipped on his leather boots.

Then he put on the brass demon mask from the life source device. The cold metallic feel fit his facial contours perfectly.

At this moment, Luo Xia's external life magnetic field fluctuations were completely concealed, making him appear like a normal person.

Even if Rorschach stood right in front of Cliff now, the latter would have no way of knowing his true background.

"Let's see what this Night Owl boss is up to..."

Rorschach smiled slightly from behind his brass mask and then pushed open the door.

Chapter 30 The Legitimate Rich Woman (Read on, vote, thank you meow!!!)

"My lord, please come upstairs with me."

The scarred man waited respectfully outside, and when he saw the completely transformed Luo Xia, a hint of awe flashed in his eyes.

He knew that no matter what this person's status was, as long as he climbed up the boss's social ladder, he would no longer be an ordinary person.

The scarred man led Rorschach in a steam-powered elevator directly to the top floor of the Night Owl Arena.

As the elevator doors opened, a corridor covered with a red carpet appeared, with four fully armed guards standing on either side.

Upon seeing the four guards, Luo Xia's eyes narrowed, sensing danger.

Because these four people were all at the level of over fifty layers in terms of the life magnetic field they emitted!

It even carries a 'spirit' within its life magnetic field!

And such a person is already a formal extraordinary knight squire!

But with such strength, they're only fit to guard the gate now?

Isn't this a veiled insult to Rorschach?

At this moment, Luo Xia became increasingly curious about this Night Owl boss.

Upon seeing the scarred man and the masked Rorschach, the four guards glanced at them but did not stop them, clearly having already received word.

The scarred man led Rorschach to the gold-inlaid oak door at the end of the corridor and then gently knocked on it.

"Enter."

A clear voice came from inside the door, and to Luo Xia's surprise, it was a woman's voice!

This Night Owl boss is really powerful!

They even have a secretary!

This was something Luo Xia had always dreamed of, since a secretary could handle everything, and there was nothing else to do...

Upon hearing the sound, the scarred man pushed open the door, then turned sideways and respectfully said:

"Lord Khorne, please."

Seeing this, Rorschach stepped into the room without hesitation and then looked around.

The room was extremely spacious and even had a blood-view glass panel that offered a direct view of the bloody battle taking place in the octagon.

Now that Rorschach has stepped down, the ring has been replaced by a battle of idiots.

Luo Xia had no interest in the infighting and instead turned his gaze to the huge velvet sofa in the center.

There was a person sitting on the sofa.

No, it should be a girl.

The other person had long silver hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, and wore an exquisite black gothic dress with black stockings and red leather boots.

At that moment, the other person was holding a pink lollipop in their hand and licking it with relish.

Luo Xia swallowed hard; a person who is incapable, at least shouldn't be...

But could this girl, who looks only twelve or thirteen years old, be the owner of Night Owl Market?

Luo Xia originally thought the other party would be a burly gangster boss, a cunning nobleman, or a thorny, aloof, and understanding older sister.

But now, the result is... a little girl?

What a joke!

Is this legal?!

"What are you looking at?"

The girl on the sofa bit into the lollipop, and the crisp cracking sound sent a chill down Luo Xia's spine.

At this moment, the other person's wine-red eyes were fixed on Luo Xia as he earnestly explained:

"I'm an adult."

Luo Xia's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Has he actually come of age?

That's such a... pity...

At this moment, the scarred man stepped forward and, bowing his head, introduced to Luo Xia:

"Lord Khorne, this is Lady Ilya, the vice-commander of our Night Owl Knights and the legitimate daughter of Earl Roland."

As Luo Xia listened to the scarred man's introduction, his heart skipped a beat again.

Earl Roland, one of the actual controllers of Adelaide City, no wonder the Night Owl Market can be so big, it turns out that his daughter came here to start a business!

The eldest daughter of an earl, no wonder she uses a life source artifact worth a thousand gold pieces.

After all, at Ilya's level, money might just be a string of numbers.

Looking at this legally wealthy young woman in front of him, Luo Xia really wanted to shout:

"Rich woman's hungry, time to eat!"

But thinking of his identity as the chosen one of the three gods—the Emperor, Khorne, and Slaanesh—Rorschach straightened his back.

Rorschach! Pay attention! Don't lose points!

"You're quite good, Khorne."

Ilya crossed her legs, leaned back on the sofa, a smile playing on her lips, and spoke with the air of a superior:

"The life magnetic field fluctuations of the Fire Serpent Breathing Technique are above level fifty, and even the bone age is no more than eighteen years old. I have never heard of such a young genius in Adelaide."

"So, are you a student at the War Knight Academy, or the son of a nobleman from another city?"

Hearing Ilya's words, Luo Xia was not surprised at all, after all, with her strength, it would be easy for her to detect these things.

"You don't need to answer me, and I have no interest in investigating your true background. After all, the rule of my Night Owl Market is not to ask about your origins."

Ilya’s tone was rather lazy, as if she didn’t care about Rorschach’s true identity. After all, could anyone’s status be higher than her, the legitimate daughter of an earl?

"Bring the things up."

Ilya snapped her fingers, and the scarred man immediately stepped forward carrying a tray.

Rorschach's gaze swept across the tray and saw a hundred gleaming gold pounds neatly arranged on it, along with three crystal bottles filled with red liquid.

"This is your bonus for your thirteen-game winning streak: one hundred gold pounds, and three bottles of 'Fire Serpent Elixir,' which are worth eighty gold pounds each on the market."

Ilya spoke calmly, as if this little thing was nothing.

But the truth is, a thousand-gold life-giving artifact was given away so easily; a few hundred gold pounds really is nothing.

"Thank you very much."

Luo Xia nodded, and then, under the shocked gazes of Ilya and the scarred man, he waved his hand slightly, and instantly, along with the tray, everything was put into Luo Xia's system space.

"Space storage equipment?"

Upon seeing this, Ilya was also stunned, and the words she wanted to say suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Within the Holy Empire, spatial storage equipment is a symbol of status and prestige. Anyone who possesses spatial storage equipment is either powerful enough or has a strong background.

Neither of these types of people would come to Ilya's small Night Owl Arena.

Although Ilya also possessed spatial storage equipment, it was precisely because of this that she was able to confirm that what she had just witnessed was not an illusion.

"What, Miss Ilya didn't have any?"

Behind the mask, Rorschach also had a smile on his lips. Although it was a bit risky, Rorschach admitted that he had put on a very smooth act.

And this will bring him unimaginable benefits in the future.

"Ha, of course I have it!"

Ilya shook the bracelet on her left wrist, which made Luo Xia feel a little envious.

He hates rich people.

"But at this moment, I am quite puzzled. With your status, why would you condescend to come to my humble Night Owl Arena?"

Ilya asked with considerable doubt, "Could it really be a scion of a powerful family who has come here for training?"

"Naturally, it's for the blood sacrifice to the Blood God!"

Rorschach's tone suddenly became quite fervent, and he stared intently at the octagonal arena beneath the glass window, his expression excited as he said:
