Chapter 384: Chapter 252: Rosa’s Dominance (Vote for Monthly Tickets!)
After Chen Lun and the others returned to the Silver Dragon Trade Association branch building,
Noah immediately took Cumberland to a secret room, where Cixi and other Silver Dragon guards subjected him to a harsh interrogation.

As the young master put it, anyone who dared to betray and backstab Mr. Jack under the guise of a companion must be punished.
Whether or not he could spit out the conspiracy behind it was secondary.
This was also the first time Cixi saw the gentle and shy boy revealing a ferocious look in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Chen Lun didn’t bother with these trivial matters.
...
He went to the rooftop to rest alone, to enjoy the breeze.
The news of their return had already spread among the Trade Association’s people.
Upon hearing that the crisis had been averted, everyone showed a surprised and joyful expression, and many servants and mid-lower level managers were nearly moved to tears.
These people kept expressing their gratitude to the returning “warriors,” but Stan and Nalan solemnly stated that the person most deserving of thanks was Mr. Jack.
It took everyone a moment to process, and it was quite some time before they remembered that Jack was the young gentleman who had stepped on Mr. Kaibak and threatened Cumberland and Captain Cixi with a blade.
Was it him who had saved everyone?
Unlike other senior members of the Trade Association, Kaibak didn’t show much joy, and his complexion turned ugly upon seeing Cumberland being escorted away.
Chen Lun had already speculated that Cumberland’s sneak attack on him was probably related to Kaibak.
However, he didn’t want to meddle in the “family affairs” of the Silver Dragon Trade Association and simply left the mess for Noah to deal with.
‘I believe he won’t disappoint me.’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
The bone-chilling wind blew, but Chen Lun didn’t feel cold.
Having undergone a transcendental transformation, he was no longer strictly considered an ordinary human. His robust physique could even disregard the current cold environment.
Chen Lun took off his black hat, gazing at the dilapidated city below.
‘With the greatest threat from the Red Apple Church eliminated by me, I believe it won’t be long before this place is restored to its former state…’
The cold wind tousled his dark hair, revealing his contemplative eyes.
“The Red Calamity… it’s getting more severe.”
He murmured softly.
This trip to the Trade Association was essentially over. Noah had successfully advanced to Mid Sequence, which was an unexpected pleasure.
Maggie was following Akebin on an “educational trip” outside and it wasn’t clear when she would return, but it shouldn’t be too long.
By the time she rejoined the team, she would most likely also have advanced to Mid Sequence, becoming the [Plague Doctor] she had long dreamed of.
Now, in the team’s core members, only Floey’s advancement remained uncertain.
Chen Lun had previously inquired about Floey’s situation, and she indicated that a long period of transcendent training had given her enough Mystical Accumulation, lacking only the ritual to become a [Sequence Seven – Soul Consoler].
Chen Lun planned to ask about her specific situation after returning to Amber City, to see if he could help her complete the ritual.
‘Some of the manor’s properties need to be sold, and the workers need to be properly settled, all of which have been entrusted to Connie… it might still take half a month.
Once everything is ready and Maggie is back on the team, we’ll leave Amber City.’
Chen Lun thought?
Clang!
At that moment, the rooftop iron door was pushed open.
“Mr. Jack!”
Chen Lun turned around and saw Noah standing at the entrance, a smile on his face.
“So, you’re here! Please come down for a moment…”
Before he could finish, a pale, slender hand appeared above his head and gently patted him.
“Alright, Noah, no need to trouble Mr. Jack.”
Another pleasant voice sounded.
A woman with long silver hair stepped out from the darkness behind Noah.
Chen Lun was somewhat surprised and said:
“Miss Rosa?”
“We meet again, Mr. Jack, though I didn’t expect it to be here.”
Rosa approached, her face still adorned with delicate makeup, but the weariness underneath couldn’t be entirely concealed.
She came to the railing and leaned on it alongside Chen Lun.
“I’m very grateful for your help; Noah told me all about the Trade Association matters.”
Rosa extended her hand, beaming a smile at Chen Lun.
Chen Lun gave her hand a gentle shake.
“It was nothing, just lending a hand.”
But Rosa shook her head.
“It’s not as simple as lending a hand. You directly eliminated the entire upper echelon of the Red Apple Church in Snow Crystal City, not only saving the city but also solving a major problem for the Trade Association.”
She took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Chen Lun.
He refused with a smile, and Rosa, not insisting, lit one for herself.
“You’ve become stronger than before… now, I don’t even have the confidence that I could win against you in a real fight.”
Rosa’s eyes sparkled.
The smoke she exhaled was ethereal, concealing some indescribable expressions.
Chen Lun didn’t respond to the topic, simply saying:
“Miss Rosa, have you finished what you needed to do during this time?”
“It’s more or less finished… I rushed back because I received an urgent message from the Trade Association. I didn’t expect that you had already taken care of the biggest trouble for me.”
Rosa said with a smile.
She glanced at her brother standing beside her, her eyes soft and tender.
“Also, when I returned and saw Noah for the first time, I could hardly believe it… even our mother had been unable to deal with his Curse, yet you removed it for him; I really don’t know how to thank you enough.”
Noah smiled shyly at the right moment.
