Chapter 392: The Starting Point of a New Era!

In the moment his mouth was covered, Delinke struggled with all his might, but none of the escape techniques he remembered from memory were of any use.

The strength of that hand was simply too great.

Just pinching the sides of his face, the immense strength caused him to feel a sensation of suffocation amidst the pain.

"A trap!"

Delinke immediately realized it.

Although he didn’t know how he had been exposed, in that moment he did not hesitate to activate the secret technique deeply branded into his soul.

A chilling breath began to diffuse.

The Delinke who was no different from an ordinary person transformed into something akin to a ’living corpse.’

He lost his reason.

He wanted to roar in rage.

He wanted to shred the person behind him.

And then...

Crack!

His neck was twisted and broken by Jason.

Delinke, slumped on the ground, was not dead; his limbs were still moving with loathing filling his eyes.

"Yi!"

A "Protection Against Evil" spell was cast on him.

Instantly, Delinke stopped moving, and his true face as a ’Masked Man’ was revealed.

Jason frowned slightly.

He had wanted to extract more information from the man.

But the man was more resolute than he had imagined.

"Sanctuary..."

Jason muttered the name of the organization again.

An organization that could survive for over 300 years was far stronger than he had imagined, both the organization itself and its members.

This was also a reminder to Jason of what the Night Owl Court needed to do.

While pondering, Jason bent down and picked up the fifth Obsidian Dagger, placing it in his pocket.

Thump, thump thump.

Esther’s knock sounded.

"Lord Jason?"

"Come in,"

Jason responded.

Esther, who entered through the door, signaled Jason and began to inspect the ’Masked Man’ in front of her, examining this one more meticulously than the previous four. After all, this one had posed as a C-level staff of the ’shelter.’

Unfortunately,

Edmund added.

Esther immediately looked at Edmund with shining eyes.

He felt like he had learned something new.

The two whispered to each other, like an adult and a young fox conspiring in a meeting.

Jason, however, did not join. He trusted the two of them to do a good enough job.

And him?

He naturally returned to the gym.

He needed to use this time to improve his strength as much as possible.

Even though there were only two or three days or even less, he didn’t mind.

Diligent training was fundamental.

But more importantly, he had an exceptional Talent.

Although most of the time, he would rather interact with others as an ordinary person, at critical moments, he wouldn’t pretend to be someone he wasn’t.

He, Jason, was gifted with an extraordinary Talent.

"We’ll see you off."

Edmund said.

Just like the description in the report, at the entrance of the office building, Jason declined the offer to see him off and disappeared alone into the night.

After returning to the "Sanctuary" secret base, Edmund took his time, waited roughly ten minutes, and then sent out the report before leaving the base directly.

He hadn’t forgotten about the two kids left at the gym.

Accompanying Edmund was Esther, who, to make their night a bit better, had bought two cups of coffee and some food from a café.

Of course, as Esther walked away carrying the coffee and snacks, the report disappeared with him.

The black muscle car started up again.

At night, the roar of the engine was crystal clear.

It was as if it were saying—

The curtain had been raised.
