Chapter 218: The Tarot Meeting's Exchange Session
Hugh was stunned when he saw the file about Raphael. Last night, Raphael killed eight Extraordinary Beings in one fell swoop! Two of them were Sequence 5s... This—
Isn't this guy a Sequence 6?
Xiu scratched his head. Is there such a big difference between Sequence 6 and Sequence 6?
The document was given to Hugh by De Winter, a deputy director of MI9, who was Hugh's superior.
He said to Hugh, "You should find out the situation first, and we'll visit Mr. A together tomorrow."
Hugh paused, slightly taken aback: "Are we going to arrest him?"
"You're new to this job and don't know much about it," De Winter explained. "The Aurora Society has a partnership with us in the Extraordinary Gatherings. These kinds of non-governmental organizations can be very useful sometimes. They can help us gather information, do things that aren't suitable for us to do ourselves, and even acquire the characteristics of the Arbitrator pathway and the main ingredients for potions for the Royal Family."
"However, before this, we were not very optimistic about Mr. A, and we thought that Aurora would probably transfer him away after a while."
"But things are different now. No one questions his abilities anymore. We should go and pay him a visit, and also warn him about the negative impact of yesterday's battle."
Hugh nodded: "I understand."
Then she added, "There are a few questions I don't quite understand. For example, did Mr. A really not receive the saint's help last night?"
"No," de Winter said firmly, "but we strongly suspect that he brought an audience with him."
Level 1 Sealed Item.
Hugh paused for a moment: A level 1 sealed artifact? Raphael got it from the Aurora Society?
After exchanging a few words about the details of the matter, Hugh bid farewell to Devonte and returned to his office with the documents.
Because she was already a Sequence 6, she was immediately appointed as a captain in the intelligence department upon joining the company, with her own office and seven subordinates.
Actually, visiting Raphael should be the responsibility of the Operations Section, but most of the Operations Section's personnel have been transferred to the front lines or behind enemy lines, and many current operations require drawing personnel from other departments.
After glancing at the documents about Raphael one last time, Hugh got up and left the office. He booked a room by the hour at a hotel not far from MI9, preparing to attend the Tarot meeting.
Now that she's the team leader, she has more freedom of action and can go out to carry out missions without asking for leave or reporting anything.
Nobody will ask; the only answer is that they're out gathering intelligence.
At exactly three o'clock, Xiu, who had been lying down beforehand, was enveloped by a gray mist and instantly found himself in a giant palace, on one side of a bronze table.
"Miss Justice" stood up first, lifting her skirt slightly, and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
"Judgment" Hugh smiled slightly. Miss "Justice's" greeting always reminded her of the school bell at grammar school.
The Tarot session officially began, and after the "Hermit" sacrificed a copy of Roselle's Diary, the other members basically stopped sacrificing their diaries, so the "Fool's" reading time was essentially canceled.
Only one deal was agreed upon at this gathering, and the discussion quickly moved on to the next phase.
Leonard, nicknamed "The Star," spoke first: "A lot has happened in Backlund in the past week."
"The most shocking thing is that St. Samuel Cathedral was stolen by one of Amon's clones. I'm not quite sure how it was taken back, but the church must have sent angels."
The members of "Justice" in Backlund were all stunned; they had never heard of this before.
Then, "Justice" Audrey recalled the size of St. Samuel's Cathedral and sighed inwardly, "I never thought such a large building could be stolen!"
"The Hanged Man," Alger, said, "What I don't quite understand is, why would Amon do that?"
The Storm Church seems unaware of this matter, but it's highly likely that the church knows about it, but Alger's rank isn't high enough, and he's currently fighting in the Sunia Sea, so he's unaware of it.
Leonard leaned back in his chair somewhat casually: "I don't know either."
"I do have some guesses about this," Klein said, manipulating "the world." "The Goddess of Night" has provided me with a great deal of help before.
Everyone was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that the "Goddess of Night" and Mr. Fool seemed to maintain some kind of tacit understanding on many matters. Did that mean that these two deities were allies?
Alger even speculated that during the previous struggle between Mr. Fool and Amon, the Goddess of Night had also provided assistance to Mr. Fool, which was why Amon retaliated against the Goddess of Night in this way.
"Justice" Audrey remarked on the sophistication of the Tarot meeting, noting that such a high-level matter was explained in just a few words at the meeting.
"I see." Leonard nodded slowly, then added, "I heard that many of Amon's clones will be in trouble for some time to come."
This is what the old man inside him told him: this time, the "Goddess of the Night" seems to be really angry, and many of Amon's clones will be entangled in misfortune for a long time.
But no one found it strange what Amon's clone did; stealing the cathedral was something Amon was capable of doing.
However, Klein, who knew the most about this matter, vaguely felt that the theft of the church might be related to Amon giving "Crawling Hunger" to Raphael.
However, this matter could not be discussed with the other members, so the topic had to be left at that point.
The room fell silent for a second or two before Hugh spoke: "I have two things to share. First, I just received news that Raphael wiped out all the key members of the Iron Cross in Backlund last night."
"The Magician" Fors looked at her friend, knowing that she had probably only received the news before the party and hadn't had a chance to tell her yet.
Everyone was taken aback, but they figured it might be a battle between secret organizations.
Leonard, the "star," straightened up: "I've heard about this too, but the scene was investigated by MI9, so I don't know the specifics."
"Did these two clandestine organizations have engaged in a fierce conflict?"
"No," Hugh said. "Raphael killed those people himself."
Leonard could hardly believe his ears: "Myself?!"
The other members also realized that something seemed amiss.
"Justice," Audrey asked curiously, "What sequence is the leader of the Ironblood Cross in Backlund?"
Hugh replied, "It's Sequence 5, a Reaper."
Heart Klein slowly nodded. He had tried using "Crawling Hunger" to fight against Sequence 5 enemies when he was at Sequence 6, and defeating enemies at this level was not too difficult.
The other members had also heard of many cases where Sequence 6 had taken down Sequence 5, so they weren't too surprised.
Hugh continued, "At that time, the Iron Cross had two Reapers and two Conspirators."

Klein was stunned: Holy crap!
