Jack Manor.
Chen Lun’s room on the third floor of the villa.
Wow…
Chen Lun sat at the table and slowly closed a book.

Flesh Faction Sequence 9 - Butcher
"I now have five copies of Sequence 9 Transcendental Knowledge... Very good."
Chen Lun showed a satisfied expression.
He has now mastered half of the ten serial paths. Although he cannot use the rest, it gives him the pleasure of stamp collecting.
After putting the book in his hand into the grape ring, he was about to take out the whip to study it, but found that the ring suddenly "went on strike" and the dimensional space could not be opened.
The purple gem inlaid in the ring was dull and seemed to have lost its power.
Chen Lun was slightly stunned, and then he thought of the price of using it, that he needed to express his love to it every once in a while.
"Forehead… "
Chen Lun opened his mouth and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Perhaps people with fetishes will have no psychological barriers."
He complained, and then said to the ring in his hand:
"You are so beautiful... Look at your big gem, so shiny, and your curvy body, so smooth, ah, I am so in love with you, muah!"
After saying that, Chen Lun took a smack on it.
After a while.
"… "
The grape ring showed no reaction.
"Um… "
Chen Lun pondered.
He took a deep breath. It seemed that the way he expressed his love was too greasy. It liked lighter ones and couldn't accept it, so he decided to try a more subtle way.
He took off the ring and placed it in his palm.
My mind searched for the love declarations of the great writers of the past lives, and finally settled on Shakespeare.
He looked at the ring with affectionate eyes and said in a deep voice:
“I doubt that the stars are fire, I doubt that the sun moves westward, I doubt that truth does not exist, but I do not doubt my love.
The ring is between the fingers, shining brightly. At this moment, we hold hands and exchange hearts.
I love you, like a midsummer night's dream—"
The grape ring burst into a brilliant purple light the next second, and seemed very satisfied.
Chen Lun smiled.
Outside the door.
Flo Yin raised her hand to knock on the door, but it stopped in mid-air.
Connie next to her was surprised and covered her mouth with her hands.
"Mr. Jack, is he... is he practicing his confession?"
Connie had a curious expression on her face, her cheeks flushed.
"Who will the target be? Viscount Pompey's daughter, Miss Rebecca? Or..."
Knock knock!
Flo Yin's knock on the door interrupted Connie's mumbling.
"Excuse me."
Flo Yin said softly, and immediately opened the door.
Connie was stunned when she saw the scene in the room. Flo Yin felt something and her hand holding the plate trembled slightly.
Mr. Jack showed his perfect back, holding a whip in his hand, raised high, as if he was about to whip himself. He turned around, and Flo Yin was holding a tray of afternoon tea, with a surprised look on her face, and Connie covered her mouth with a look of disbelief.
"If I said this was exercise, would you believe me?"
Chen Lun smiled.
"Mr. Jack, you, you...!"
Connie stammered, then turned and ran away.
Flo Yin regained her composure and placed the plate on the table with a normal look.
"I made you afternoon tea. It's cookies and milk."
Then she turned and left, and when she reached the door, she said softly:
"I am a blind girl. I can't see."
Chen Lun noticed a slight blush on her cheeks.
"… "
Aren't you speaking frankly with your eyes closed? !
Chen Lun complained secretly, then told himself that it was okay, just treat it as a benefit for his own people.
"Hey, help me close the door, Flo Yin... I want to exercise."
Chen Lun emphasized the word "exercise".
Flo Yin hummed softly, then closed the door and left.
Bang!
Flo Yin's body trembled.
Through the door, she heard the sound of beating coming from inside, and then she quickened her pace and walked away.
In the room.
Chen Lun had a dead look on his face and whipped himself mechanically.
"Philip, Philip, it would be great if you were still alive... I really want to beat you up."
…
Although the whip was a bit shocking, it was indeed of great help to Chen Lun.
Chen Lun used the enhanced exclusive skill of the animal tamer and chose Animal Imitation. This skill can be regarded as his current main card.
The strengthening effect is that it increases the number of characteristics that he can release at the same time.
After whipping for half an hour, Chen Lun found that the effect of the whip had weakened, so he stopped. Then he tried to use skills, even if they were not compatible before, he could open three at the same time.
It matches the characteristics of snakes and achieves four openings at the same time.
"Huh... the effect is pretty good."
Chen Lun exhaled and wiped the sweat off his face with a towel.
Crash...
The muscles on his back squirmed, and then a complete layer of dead skin sloughed off. The red marks from the whip also disappeared, and his back became healthy and fair again.
molt
Chen Lun seldom uses this feature. Although it can heal injuries, the activation process is too long and it is somewhat useless in battle.
"I hope it can be strengthened after the sequence is promoted. This way I will have an extra trump card to save my life."
Chen Lun thought hopefully.
After finishing the afternoon tea prepared by Flo Yin, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes.
He immediately went out and headed for Port Lona, west of the inner city.
His recent expenses were a bit high, so he planned to go to the black market there to sell a batch of weapons and collect some funds. He found out the location of the black market from Butler Binoz.
It turns out that the black market in the inner city is hidden in the port.
But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, there are a lot of goods and people involved, and even with the strictest management, the emergence of such underground markets is inevitable.
"Hey, man, let's go have a drink after work!"
"Okay!"
"Bread clearance! Everything is half price before 10 o'clock!"
"Excuse me, sir, please be careful with the carriage..."
The spacious curved aisle of the dock was bustling with people, and many horse-drawn carriages carrying goods or well-dressed gentlemen and ladies were driving slowly.
On one side of the aisle is the seaside with large and small boats moored, and on the other side are brightly lit shops with a wide variety of goods.
It was very lively with a lot of noise.
Chen Lun walked along the sidewalk for a distance, then went down the stairs on one side, passed through a long, dim alley, and entered a night market.
The stalls here are neatly arranged in the middle, with shops on both sides.
"This is the black market, but you need to find the right intermediary..."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Suddenly he saw a familiar face flash by in the crowd.
"Rebecca...?"
