In the black market of the Clock Tower, the atmosphere in the magnificent manor was tense.
The young man and the young woman faced off. Behind Rhode, there were 16 different types of firearms. There were small-caliber submachine guns and large-caliber sniper cannons. However, these firearms were glowing with magical brilliance. It was obvious that they were enchanted with spells and were much stronger than common firearms.
Beside him, Liu Zhu gently lifted the corner of her skirt, and two black sickles emerged from under her skirt. Countless incantations were flowing on the blades that were emitting a cold light. Clearly, they were not simple cold weapons.
" You…" The reddish-haired girl gritted her teeth and said. "I am the next master of the Barthemero Family, Barthemero Lorelei. Do you really want to provoke my Barthemero Family for a mere puppet?”
"Oh?" A mere puppet? Aren't you looking down on the value of my work too much? The value of a crystal bead was probably not even comparable to a Magician.”
Rhode sneered with a look of disdain. What he said was not wrong. The ability of the crystal bead to stop time was comparable to magic.
" You..." Seeing this, Loreya frowned and a disgusted expression appeared on her face. "Mages are the crystallization of humans. How can you compare a puppet to them? It was a betrayal to the human race!”
"Tsk, a hat? Why are you so skilled?"
Rhode chuckled with deep disdain.
"Don't the nobles always choose based on benefits? What do you think is worthy of my Liuzhu? Other than your 'inborn' family and bloodline, you are nothing.”
" You're insulting the honor of the nobles!" Loreya roared angrily and Rhode interrupted her.
"Then come and duel with me! What qualifications does a mere trash who has received the protection of his ancestors have to negotiate with me!”A furious expression appeared on his handsome face. To Rhode, insulting his beloved work was equivalent to declaring war.
"Humph! Just you wait!" After Lorelei released the Five-Word Mantra, she picked up her magic transmission robe and sent a message to her family.
At this moment, the entire manor's communication magic was stopped by an invisible barrier.
"This is a little too much, Lorelei.”A slender figure appeared between the two of them and stopped them. "I think it's better for everyone to get along peacefully. After all, you're also in the process of evaluating the position of 'patriarch'. If you cause trouble now, I'm afraid you'll have to say goodbye to the top of the power chain, right?”
It was a young woman with long orange hair. Although she looked to be in her twenties or thirties, she had actually lived for half a century.
Rhode had long forgotten her name, but he was clear about her status.
One of the 12 suzerains, the Sofiali family, had gradually risen under her control, and her appearance here was no coincidence.
"Sofia? Are you going to protect this ungrateful little fellow?”Seeing this, Lorelei revealed an angry expression, but Sophie laughed lightly.
" You underestimate him. Even if you spread the news to the Barthemero Family, those old fogeys wouldn't make an enemy out of Mr. Rhode over such a small conflict.”
" Hmph…" Even though she knew that what Sophie said was the truth, Lorelei still looked unhappy. The foolish arrogance of a noble made her lose her judgment.
"Let's end it here, the two of you. It's too inappropriate to duel here.”
Seeing Loleria give in, Sophie heaved a sigh of relief.
"Also, Mr. Rhode, I would like to ask you about the attire. May I ask if I can move?”
"Of course, I don't want to breathe the filthy air here anymore.”Rhode mocked while Loreya didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and walked out of the manor.
However, her eyes were still fierce. It was obvious that she did not intend to stop here.
" Don't worry, Mr. Rhode. With the pressure from the Twelve Suzerains, even Barthemero from the Law Department won't have the ability to threaten you, let alone do something stupid like 'sealing the specified'.”
Seeing this, Sofia said softly. Her words were intimate and threatening. It was obvious that she wanted to tie Rhode to the Twelve Suzerains 'camp and contend with Bartherlow.
"That's right, but I still need to trouble you with something.”Rhode nodded. "I need a group of cruel and strong criminals. The more the better.”
" Err…" Sofia didn't expect Rhode to be so cruel and forced a smile. "Of course, this is not difficult for us, but why use murderers? Can't ordinary mortals do it?"
"Very simple." Rhode shrugged and said calmly. " Ordinary mortals do not have strong willpower and are unable to withstand high-intensity experiments. You don't think that I'm doing this because of 'kindheartedness,' do you?”
" Of course not, you're overthinking…" Sofia took a deep look at the young man and immediately followed up with a scam. "As the price of the deal, I need a portion of the 'inscription' knowledge you have. I don't think this is too much, right?”
"Naturally, I will send someone to deliver it to you.”Rhode said softly with a smile. "Well then, happy cooperation, Miss Sofia.”
" Happy cooperation, Mr. Rhode."

A moment later, in Rhode's manor.
The young Luo De was slumped on the sofa while Liu Zhu was skillfully brewing black tea. The elegant fragrance of the tea reverberated in the study room, intoxicating everyone.
"I have a question, Master." Liu Zhu gently served the black tea and smiled warmly. "Why did you deal with that woman for me? It's just a puppet."
"Yeah, it's just a puppet.”" I'll go with you," Rhode said calmly. Liu Zhu's eyes dimmed, but they glowed even more brightly as Rhode spoke.
"Even if you're a doll, you're still mine, my maid. Don't belittle yourself, Liuzhu.”
"I will obey your will."
The young lady said softly. She hugged Rhode's shoulders and placed her two soft balls on his head.
"I will die for you, my master.”
