Chapter 221: 221
Chapter 221: Beautiful Woman
After waking up from the hangover, Locke went to the living room and drank some milk.
The real estate agent in his hometown called.
“Hello, Mr. Viscount! I’m from the Atlanta City’s Widdock Real Estate Development Company. There are some procedures that I need to confirm with you…”
“Yes! I want to build a small manor on that piece of land. I’ll send the deposit to you immediately!” After drinking quite a lot yesterday, Locke even forgot about this matter.
Just the deposit alone was a large sum of money. Although it was a little expensive, it was good as long as his parents liked it.
However, the service staff said, “Mr. Viscount, don’t misunderstand! The governor of the city hall has already given us the deposit! You only need to sign the electronic document on your phone…”
“???” Locke did not quite understand what had happened.
It turned out that after contacting them to buy the land yesterday, the local city hall noticed the identity of Viscount Locke in the remarks.
Moreover, it was granted by His Majesty the King.
This was a great event for the remote Atlanta City, where there were almost no nobles!
The local governor was only a Baron. When he found out about this matter, he immediately realized that Locke definitely knew His Majesty the King!
To curry favor with Locke, he bought this land for Locke out of his own pocket.
Locke did not expect that such an identity could bring so much convenience.
It seemed that his parents’ safety could also be guaranteed!
After signing the document, the other party politely hung up the phone.
After everything was prepared, Locke took a few boxes and went downstairs.
Dickens’ motorcade to the airport had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.
After bidding farewell to their parents, they officially headed to the Heavenly City.

The plane was provided by Adelaide.
Once Dickens sat down, he turned on his laptop.
“Boss, look! This is a manor I bought yesterday as well as a few apartments in the city center! It’s convenient for us to do things moving forward. The company we’re covering for is also the Beastmaster training ground…”
These few places were all well chosen. The transportation was convenient and it was bustling.
“You can stay in the manor. The conditions there are very good!” Dickens opened the manor’s preview map.
Locke rubbed the space between his brows and said, “I’ll stay in the apartment. To understand a city, I have to live on the streets.”
“Oh, that makes sense! Then I’ll stay in the apartment next to yours. Oh right, I’ve also arranged for a lot of maids for you. They’ll take care of everything at home…” Dickens raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly.
Locke was very satisfied with the other party’s arrangements.
As Locke drank too much yesterday, he put on a black eye mask and fell asleep again…
…
A few hours later, they had arrived at the Heavenly City.
Locke had woken up long ago.
This was because when Dickens and his men were about to land, they were excited to see the bustling Heavenly City outside the window.
“Boss! Let’s go straight to the apartment!” Dickens and his men began to pack their luggage.
Locke yawned and shook his head. “You guys go first. I’ve memorized the place. Someone will be looking for me soon…”
Sure enough, it had only been ten minutes and Dickens and his men had yet to pack their luggage.
Peter had appeared here.
This was what Locke had told him through a text message before he boarded the plane.
“Hahaha! Child! Welcome to Heavenly City! His Majesty the King was also very happy when he found out that you were willing to come!” Peter laughed loudly as he walked forward and shook hands with Locke.

Dickens and the others had only seen big shots like Peter on television.
This sudden appearance had made them somewhat at a loss.
However, Dickens quickly calmed down. He quietly left the airport with his subordinates.
Dickens was afraid that he and his subordinates’ identities would negatively affect Locke.
“Let’s go! We’ll talk when we get in the car!”
In the limousine, Peter spoke again, “Welcome to the camp of the royal agents! Your main mission is to obey His Majesty’s command! Eliminate the enemies who threaten the safety of the continent and attempt to subvert the royal family…”
“These are some guidelines and rules. Take a look at them when you have the time…”
This was similar to what was shown on television.
However, Locke believed that they would only hand over the most difficult mission to him. After all, his strength lay in this.
“As for the treatment, ten million federal coins a year and three Battle Beast eggs! How about it? Isn’t it great?” Peter laughed.
Ten million and three Battle Beast eggs were naturally very high treatment for ordinary Beastmasters.
To Locke, it was just a drop in the bucket. It did not interest him at all.
“I don’t want money! I only want some items as the reward. Is that alright?”
With the profits from the Holy City’s underground black market, Locke was no longer an ordinary rich man.
Right now, he only wanted those difficult-to-get leveling materials.
Peter was silent for a moment, then smiled, and said, “Hahaha… Your Majesty’s guess is indeed correct. You’re different from an ordinary Beastmaster.
“Alright, that won’t be a problem. As long as it’s not too excessive!”
After the conditions were met, the car drove directly to another secret stronghold.
It was also an ordinary building that did not look eye-catching.
After entering the house, Peter came to a surveillance machine with facial recognition.
After confirming the identity, the wall began to rotate, revealing the interior that looked like a conference room.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Secretary-general…”
A one-eyed middle-aged man immediately came forward to greet him.
“How are you, Miles? I brought you a new member…” Peter smiled politely and walked toward the main seat of the meeting room.
The middle-aged man named Miles sized Locke up with an unfriendly gaze.
There were four young men standing behind him.
“These are the Beastmasters who have three rose gold rank Battle Beasts?”
“Why do I feel like this person is a playboy…”
“He should be a few years younger than us…”
“Hello, handsome…”
The four of them, three men and one woman, all looked at Locke with curious gazes.
After the seven of them sat down, Peter officially began to introduce Locke.
Miles’ face was like an unchanging cement floor. From beginning to end, there was no expression on his face.
“Locke, you’re now a member of the First Division. This is your captain, Miles! Everyone else, please introduce yourselves…” Peter said to the other four people.
The first to speak was a tall guy. “I’m Gustav! I’ve been working for five years!”
Locke nodded. This guy looked like he was about 27 or 28 years old.
He was probably a member of the Royal Secret Service at his age.
The man had thick limbs and a fist full of scars. Locke felt like he was a boxer.
Just as the second person was about to speak, he was interrupted by a beautiful woman.
“Hello, Locke, I’m Belinda…” As she spoke, she brushed her blonde hair and gave Locke a wink.
Locke was very sure in his heart that this was the sexiest and most beautiful woman he had ever met.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
