Chapter 348 -237: The Eve of a Storm_2
“The potion can restore your Sanity, please drink it…”
The Dark Knight took the potion, popped the cork without a word, and poured it into the slit of his helmet.
He sighed.
“I feel much better now… Thank you, Jack.”
At this moment, a task notification popped up—
[A-level task: Wolf and Youlan! Completed!]
...
[Task rewards received: 40,000 Experience Points, 120 Gold Pounds, Bates’s Affection, and the skill “Bales Ultimate Sword-Youlan.”]
“The matter has already come to an end, Mr. Bates.”
Chen Lun said.
The Dark Knight nodded.
“I won’t say thanks again, Jack. The man who just appeared is very powerful, he came for you, you must be careful… If needed, you can use the Phantom Statue to find me, I’ll do my best to help you.”
He leaned on his black sword, silent for a few seconds.
“Now, I can only consider this a brief respite, the Sun Church and the Shelter won’t give up chasing me, my journey of evasion will continue…
I will spend a little more time in Amber City, I might come to visit you… and perhaps say goodbye to Floey.”
Chen Lun reached out his hand, smiling:
“You are always welcome here, Mr. Bates.”
The Dark Knight paused, then chuckled and shook Chen Lun’s hand firmly.
Releasing his hand, he turned and left, his figure slowly vanishing from the present world.
Chen Lun watched him leave.
At that moment, Silver Pot and Akebin Drake approached, both had regained their clarity.
“That blond man, who exactly is he… He’s truly formidable!”
Drake lit a cigarette, his mood gloomy.
“He is called Howard, the Destiny Saint… he came for me, sorry for involving you.”
Chen Lun turned and said.
Akebin shook his head.
“We should be the ones saying that, after all, we came to support you this time, and we could not even muster the urge to fight in His presence… The Destiny Saint, indeed very strong…”
“Anyway, thank you very much for your help.”
Chen Lun bowed respectfully to them.
Mr. Pot slapped his arm vigorously, waving his hand:
“We are friends, helping you is only right!”
Just then, Drake grimaced.
“I’ve repaid my debt to you, don’t call me the next time you get into such trouble!”
Chen Lun chuckled.
He took out two [C-rank Mysterious Objects] from the Blood Poem Ring and handed them to both Drake and Akebin.
“These are spoils of battle, it’s only proper you both have a share.”
Akebin grunted in agreement, taking one, while Drake raised an eyebrow, saying:
“Understood the protocol, but remember, about favors…”
“Mr. Drake, I will also be brewing a batch of high-quality Supernatural Wine when I return… I will definitely have the Murder Club’s Messenger deliver two bottles to you.”
Chen Lun’s smile remained unchanged, speaking earnestly.
Drake coughed twice, tossing the cigarette butt aside.
“Hmm, favors should always be reciprocal… Thanks in advance, I’ll decide whether to come if there’s anything else.”
Akebin gave him a disdainful glance.
“Since matters have concluded, let’s part ways here.”
Chen Lun took a brand-new black hat from the Blood Poem Ring and put it on himself.
He looked at his four companions who had fought side by side, smiling faintly:
“We’ll keep in touch.”
“Farewell, Jack.”
Akebin nodded slightly, and Drake waved casually on the side.
“We can hear your bell anytime, Silver Pot.”
Mr. Pot stood quietly to the side, his face carrying a smile, while Pot gave a thumbs up.
Chen Lun, holding the Silver Staff, turned and left.

“You’re back.”
Floey stood at the entrance of the manor villa.
Beside her were Noah, Maggie, and Golov, among others.
“It’s all taken care of… no need to worry.”
Chen Lun said, looking at them.
“I’m really sorry, Mr. Jack, we are too weak to be of any help.”

Noah’s expression was somewhat dejected.
He had slimmed down a bit over time, not as round as before, but still quite large.
Those unaware of the situation might be surprised to see this “strongman” scratching his head in an embarrassed manner.
Chen Lun shook his head with a smile, patting Noah’s arm for comfort.
The team members hadn’t yet grown to their full potential, but their time to shine would come in the future.
Chen Lun had no doubt about this.
“Let’s talk inside.”
Chen Lun said.
The other members agreed, following the leader into the villa and settling down on the living room sofa.
“You all are very talented, but growth takes time, I believe you’ll be able to shoulder the responsibility of the team in the future.”
Chen Lun leaned back in the sofa, speaking out.
“But until then, I’ll be here to shelter you from the storm.”
He grinned, and the others were visibly touched.
Floey sat next to Chen Lun, gently placing her hand on the back of his, silently offering her support.
Chen Lun turned his head, looked at Floey, and smiled faintly.
Then he addressed the others:
“We won’t be staying in Amber City much longer, we will be leaving soon.”
“Leaving here?”
Maggie appeared somewhat surprised.
Chen Lun’s expression became somewhat serious, he touched his hat, then leaned forward.
“The Red Apple Church is about to spark a war that will engulf the entire Empire, and Archbishop Lafa bears a grudge against us, he will surely target the Circus with terrifying vengeance…”
