Chapter 28: Agreement (Seeking recommendations, favorites!)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“The chance to become a Transcendent is not abundant?”
Su Lu repeated Donald’s words in his mind, triggering many speculations.
That’s right!
Transcendent power, which fundamentally alters human nature, would never be allowed to spread limitlessly by any power structure.
Therefore, strictly controlling its inheritance makes it a norm to be held only by the state, authoritative agencies, a small number of organizations, secret societies, and families.
The world of the Transcendents is like two distinct circles of black and white to ordinary people, incredibly hard to join.
As for Catherine, this Transcendent… well, she seems like a wild one, a lucky person who accidentally acquired Transcendent power. Hence. Donald’s covetousness was aroused.
It seems he himself has recently encountered some troubles requiring him to quickly gain Transcendent power, so he is willing to risk danger and… is quite desperate!
“St. George’s University is a church school that would absolutely not allow the presence of dark Transcendent powers like Shadow Magic… Therefore, the attacker is most likely a fortunate individual who lucked into Transcendent power! We can’t let someone suspected of having murderous intent to possess
Transcendent strength!”
Donald continued, his face filled with righteous indignation.
It sounds reasonable, but I wonder what your reaction would be if I told you there were two attackers yesterday, and it seemed like they were organized?
Su Lu had a thought.
However, he immediately considered more.
That’s right, The Goddess Church, always advocating light and charity… in short, it leans towards the positive, and yet Catherine uses Shadow Magic, which is dark. Thus, it’s highly likely she’s genuinely lurking within the university.
Such an infiltrator is like a rat in a sewer— even without criminal evidence, reporting them to the church’s powerful sectors would likely lead to their end once exposed.
With this thought, Su Lu’s mind immediately eased a lot: “So… what’s your method?”
“I found some people and leaked the information about the wild Transcendent as a bargaining chip…”
Donald said, “Then, let them encircle her. If everything goes smoothly, this should be resolved today… and as a reward, we can get a share of the spoils. Even if the Transcendent power she holds is too dangerous, this merit can be our stepping stone to join a powerful agency!”
“Calm judgement, brilliant analysis! So… That’s why you didn’t ask about the attacker’s identity.”
Su Lu clapped twice.
Throughout this, Donald merely played the part of a go-between, which reduced his risk to a minimum.
The chip holding the real identity of the attacker remained in Su Lu’s hands.
‘Too bad…lf I had connections like these, I could just leave Donald out and go solo…’
Su Lu gave a sigh in his heart: “Very reasonable, how will the reward be distributed afterwards?”
“I don’t need anything, but if the spoils include secrets about Transcendent power, I need a copy!” Donald interlaced his fingers, speaking in a grave voice.
Su Lu grinned, “Can you tell the truth now? What is the good news this afternoon?”
Donald looked deeply at Su Lu: “If all goes well… one of the university’s directors will meet with us.”
After that, Su Lu walked out of the Fight Club with Donald, causing a stir.
Especially Charlie and Baron.
These two guys were still hoping that Donald would take revenge for them. However, the scheduled match was cancelled so arbitrarily, and not just that, even the club president went to have lunch with that kid.
They seriously suspected that the two men had made some unspeakable deals, filled with feelings of betrayal and abandonment! The bitterness in their eyes was almost tangible.
As a result, Su Lu always felt like he had two spiteful individuals staring at his back, quite terrifying.
“Hehe…
Seeing this scene, Donald couldn’t help but laugh unknowingly: “Truthfully… you have indeed caused damage to my Fight Club, therefore… how about becoming my coach?”
“No thanks, I dislike low-paying jobs, let alone ones that pay commission only.” Su Lu responded emotionlessly.
“How about being a nominal coach, just in name, without any action required?” Donald persisted.
It’s clear that he has deep feelings for the Fight Club.
“There’s nothing wrong with that!”
Su Lu never cared about face-saving matters: “But I need a nominal fee!”
“Alright!”
Donald hesitated, then agreed immediately, asking suspiciously: “Just how much do you need money?”
“That’s something I learned from my roommate.”
Su Lu thought of Sean, his face darkening.
This guy, whether he’s deeply in love or influenced by Catherine, made Su Lu harbor further resentment towards Catherine.
As a result, he is eager to start the attack.
The economic conditions of Donald were much better than Su Lu’s. The two of them left the university and entered into a very high -end restaurant outside.
Not to be denied, Donald, as the president of a university club, understood how to deal with people and communicate. With his radiant face and brilliant smile, he easily gets along in a crowd.
However, Su Lu still thought that the deep family connections behind him were the main reason for his success.
After an enjoyable lunch, Su Lu already knew that the full name of the club president was Donald Wesley! He was the second son of a rich business family that started to run a steel business from his grandfather’s generation. The reason he came to the church school was entirely that his father was a devout believer of the Goddess of Light. Moreover, through generous donations, he had additional opportunities in St. George’s University.
‘Second son?’
Su Lu looked at Donald’s face, guessing some things.
His identity reminded him of something subtle, such as during the European Middle Ages when the second son of a noble family couldn’t inherit the title and had to serve other nobles or join the church to seek another path.
The influence of the Goddess Church was much more powerful than the churches in his previous life that just gave lip service.
‘Therefore, joining the Goddess Church through St. George’s University is a very good path for a second son of a rich businessman! Church officials have high status, good reputation, and most positions do not prohibit marriage…’
‘As for Donald, he is more interested in Transcendent power, and within the Goddess Church, this information is sure to exist. It just requires a certain status and contribution, so is that why he is so eager to connect with me?’
Su Lu doesn’t feel rage at being used.
This is merely a case of mutual benefit..
