Chelsea Detective Agency was a small detective agency, but clearly, in addition to detective work, they also dabbled in other businesses.
Charlotte memorized the address and casually activated the Blood Glory to shatter both the wallet and the note into powder.
The dagger, however, was quite impressive. Upon inspection, Charlotte confirmed that it was a supernatural weapon. Surprisingly, it also had anti-space capabilities, with attributes of sharpness and durability.
The sharpness allowed the dagger to emit a sharp aura when infused with qi, magic, or other supernatural energies, making it even sharper than steel.
Durability ensured the dagger's resilience, allowing it to withstand clashes with Blood Rose without faltering.
On the auction market, this dagger could easily fetch over 200 gold coins, making it an extremely valuable supernatural weapon.
The alchemy gun was just an ordinary weapon, similar to Charlotte's magical alchemy staff, but with more refined craftsmanship, offering a longer range, faster firing rate, and higher accuracy.
Charlotte had two Magnum revolvers, so he swapped out one.
The final gain was the thin human face mask!
As he lightly touched it with his fingers, a consciousness entered his mind: Cat's Mask! It can transform into the appearances of six different beings and randomly extract one skill from the transformed target. However, it is limited to those he has interacted with before. Wearing it increases agility slightly and serves as an identification for the Beastman Assassin Guild.
Charlotte was slightly surprised. The Cat's Mask couldn't extract the target's supernatural abilities, only their skills, which was somewhat disappointing. However, if it could extract core abilities, this artifact would be too powerful. Even so, the value of this Cat's Mask was likely higher than that of the assassin's dagger, though he wasn't a professional to appraise it accurately.
He was familiar with the Beastman Assassin Guild!
The old continent had five major assassin organizations, and the Beastman Assassin Guild was one of them.
It was said that members of the Beastman Assassin Guild were descendants of the ancient Beastman Kingdom, possessing many unique abilities from their bloodline and typically operating in the southern continent, rarely coming to the Fars Empire.
As a regular government employee, Charlotte Meckren had never had any direct contact with any assassin organizations; his knowledge came from some university readings.
Charlotte was curious why Aubrey Trowton Atwood would go all the way to the south to hire a beastman assassin to kill him.
Clearly, the Blood Brothers were available within Fars.
"It's said that the Beastman Assassin Guild never fails a contract. If one assassin dies, they will send another, relentlessly pursuing the target until they're dead."
"Aubrey Trowton Atwood is in the know! If this guy informs them, I won't have any peace."
Thinking this, Charlotte immediately had murderous intent.
If it weren't so challenging to execute, he would have considered summoning a demon at the Wild Horse Detective Agency's doorstep.
Charlotte put away the spoils and decided not to dwell on it any longer, knowing that worrying wouldn't help.
He silently operated Blood Glory and began his daily training.
Since returning to Strasbourg, Charlotte had felt an urgency to train.
Having faced demons twice, his spiritual sensitivity had reached an incredible level, and his training speed had significantly accelerated.
While it was usually easy for a supernatural being to increase their energy strength, enhancing their spiritual sensitivity was extremely difficult, requiring rigorous trials and mental discipline to achieve even a slight improvement.
Charlotte, however, had the opposite problem. His spiritual sensitivity was already comparable to a high-level supernatural being, but his energy strength was lacking.
Most people practicing Blood Glory would only start with Blood Banquet Meditation after condensing seven or eight Blood Vortexes. Many would never succeed in meditating any runes in their lifetime.
Charlotte, on the other hand, almost simultaneously condensed the corresponding Blood Runes with each Blood Vortex. Now, only the Speed Rune in his left leg was slightly lacking, while the Insight Rune in his brow, the Blood Flame Rune in his chest, and the Angel's Sting Rune in his left hand were all quite advanced. This was why his actual combat strength far exceeded that of a typical fourth-tier.
Charlotte had managed to win against stronger opponents several times because of this.
Charlotte wasn't sure how long he had been training when suddenly, his heart started pounding, and he began to panic. He wasn't sure if this world had something like going mad during training, but he knew that this emotion was harmful and would only make things worse, so he forced himself to calm down.
"What's going on?"
"Is it the Blood Flame Rune acting up?"
"Have I been training incorrectly lately? But I was following the Vampire Scroll 〢〨; there shouldn't be any problems!"
Charlotte was not a vampire, and Blood Glory was a rare supernatural path, with few scholars at Sheffield University specializing in this method. He had been exploring it on his own, and it was inevitable that he would encounter various situations.
At this moment, he could only force himself to stay calm, repeatedly operating Blood Glory to suppress the Blood Flame Rune's anomaly.
But the small, heart-like Blood Rune was becoming increasingly restless. When Charlotte's focus wavered, the Blood Rune exploded, spreading through his body via his bloodstream.
Charlotte felt as if his body was about to mutate, and his fear grew. He didn't know whether he should continue suppressing it or try to find a way to guide this energy out.
The next moment, he exploded…
A blood flame replaced Charlotte.
After several breaths, Charlotte finally realized what had happened. He floated around the room, amazed at the changes in his body.
"I'm now a blood flame?"
"So, it's not a problem after all; I've successfully mastered Blood Flame Transformation!"
He reversed the Protégora Breathing Method, and countless tiny golden runes reassembled into a small golden heart. Sure enough, he reverted from a blood flame to a flesh-and-blood form.
Charlotte raised his hands, examining his body, which looked exactly the same as before. He couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of this world's magic.
Charlotte had always wanted to activate a fifth Blood Vortex. At the very least, he hoped to quickly master the Speed Rune, but he hadn't expected the Blood Flame to break through first, mastering the advanced Blood Flame Transformation.
Once again, he operated the Protégora Breathing Method, and his flesh-and-blood form transformed into blood flames, drifting around 58 Elysee Garden Street, a sensation that was quite fascinating.
Although he had possessed supernatural abilities before, this was the first time he felt that he was no longer an ordinary human being.
