If Mr. A's actions had gone unnoticed by others for various reasons, Audrey, as a Telepathist, certainly couldn't have missed them.
But it was precisely this awareness that made Audrey even more puzzled.
She could tell how intense Mr. A's emotions were the moment he saw Rudy Flair. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, Audrey could infer quite a bit from his body language alone.
And Rudy Flair seemed very nervous at that instant... Do they know each other?
Is Rudy Flair a member of the Aurora Order?
Audrey was startled by her own speculation, but she quickly dismissed it.
Because Mr. A's reaction clearly showed that he was excited after recognizing Rudy Flair, but then, seemingly out of some concern, he restrained himself and pretended not to know Rudy Flair.
If Rudy Flair were truly a member of the Aurora Order, this situation would likely occur because his status was above Mr. A's. But this didn't match Rudy Flair's reaction. Audrey was certain that Rudy Flair was genuinely nervous at that moment, and she even suspected that he might have considered leaving.
If Rudy Flair were really a high-ranking member of the Aurora Order, he wouldn't have such emotional fluctuations...
Could it be that Rudy Flair has nothing to do with the Aurora Order and simply knows Mr. A?
Audrey thought this was very likely. After all, members of secret organizations don't necessarily mean they can't know each other, or can't know other Beyonders who aren't in the organization. Even if Mr. A is a Lunatic from the Aurora Order, it's normal to have one or two friends outside the Aurora Order.
But... judging from Rudy Flair's reaction, they don't seem to be friends?
Could they be enemies? Did Mr. A restrain himself because he didn't want to take action at the gathering?
Audrey felt a little confused, but she still silently prepared to quickly escape with everyone if the two were really enemies.
Viscount Glaint didn't know that the inner thoughts of the people around him were so rich. Considering himself a senior in attending Mr. A's gathering, he pointed to a blackboard filled with writing in the room and whispered to Lin Ruo:
"See that blackboard? It lists the needs of each member of the gathering. It's the rule here. After all, many people don't want others to know what they possess for safety reasons. If you need anything, you can anonymously write it on the blackboard, but there's no guarantee you'll get it. I've been trying to buy a Pharmacist's formula for a long time without success."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you." After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Lin Ruo finally decided to continue pretending not to see Mr. A's reaction and continue his "undercover" work. He smiled and then scanned the words written on the blackboard:
"Powder of Wraith Residue, 165 pounds."
"Eelander Flower, 200 pounds."
"Roy Grass Powder, 10 grams, 5 pounds."
"Murloc Mucus, 30 milliliters, 29 pounds."
"Sequence 8 'Sheriff' Potion Formula, 450 pounds."
...
Perhaps the Beyonders participating in Mr. A's gathering weren't high enough level, or perhaps everyone was cautious. The levels of the needs and items for sale written on the blackboard were generally not high, mainly low-sequence Beyonder materials and potion formulas.
Lin Ruo glanced at it once or twice, found nothing he wanted, and withdrew his gaze. He turned to look around at the other participants in the room, then locked his eyes on someone sitting in the corner, wearing both a hood and a mask, and looking down as if doing nothing.
Based on his familiarity with a certain Meow, Lin Ruo didn't even need to deliberately sense the connection between them to determine that the other person was Klein.
In order to prevent the "Spectator" around him from noticing anything amiss, Lin Ruo only glanced at him casually, then shifted his gaze to look at other people, making sure no one could see anything wrong.
In the corner, Klein, who was fully armed, raised his head and glanced in that direction a while after Lin Ruo moved his gaze away, and then his expression became slightly strange.
Of course, Klein could recognize Lin Ruo. Although the other person had changed his appearance, it wasn't like he hadn't seen this look before. The connection between the two of them clearly told Klein which bastard teacher the other person was.
That wasn't the key issue. The key issue was that Klein felt that the person next to Lin Ruo seemed somewhat familiar.
Although the other person was shrouded in a black robe, making it difficult to see his face, looking at the golden tips of his hair and that familiar figure, it was difficult for Klein, as a magician, not to identify the other person—Miss Justice!
Good heavens!
Klein exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
When did this guy Lin Ruo meet Miss Justice offline? What identity did he use to meet her? Chariot?
No! No!
Lin Ruo's Chariot persona uses his original appearance, and the characteristics are completely different from now... so he met Miss Justice using the identity of Rudy Flair, a down-and-out nobleman?
Or did they know each other originally... Well, speaking of which, the other two ladies next to him, one looked lazy, revealing a salty fish vibe, and the other's height... cough, are those Fors and Xio?
Although they hadn't officially met, Klein, as a magician, quickly identified the two of them.
Then Klein remembered the various reactions he had just seen from Mr. A after seeing Lin Ruo. For a moment, he suddenly understood why Lin Ruo said that the danger wasn't great when he said he wanted to go undercover in the Aurora Order before.
Judging from Mr. A's reaction, it was really hard for Klein to believe that Lin Ruo had no story with the Aurora Order.
Could it be that Lin Ruo was once a member of the Aurora Order before he lost his memory, and then reformed?
Klein speculated in his heart, but he didn't develop any resistance to Lin Ruo because of this speculation, even though he really didn't like the Aurora Order.
After all, everyone has a past, just like in the original book, Klein didn't mind Mr. Azik's past as the Death Consul. For Klein, he knew the current Lin Ruo, someone who cared about the innocent and was willing to confront someone far stronger than himself in order to protect others.
He believed in Lin Ruo's character, and he believed even more that with Lin Ruo's situation and personality, even if he was really a member of the Aurora Order in the past, and even did some bad things, it was probably mostly due to some hidden circumstances, such as being affected by the Beyonder pathway or being affected by madness.
Klein only cared about what kind of person Lin Ruo was now, and wouldn't dwell on the other person's past.
Lin Ruo didn't know what Klein was imagining, but even if he did, he probably wouldn't care too much. He just looked at the approaching waiter, thought for a while, and wrote a Beyonder material on a piece of paper, then folded the paper and handed it back to the waiter.
Audrey and the others next to him did the same. This was one of the procedures of the gathering. Next, the waiter, after collecting everyone's needs, would hand the paper to his companion next to the blackboard, so that he could register the contents of these papers on the blackboard in order.
Soon, the gathering reached the stage of registering the contents of the slips and announcing them to everyone. Lin Ruo listened silently, and saw a waiter come to him at this time and hand him a slip of paper.
"Mr. A gave it to you," the waiter said in a low voice.
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, then unfolded the slip and glanced at it, only to see it read:
"Are you interested in joining a secret organization?"
Ah, this!
Is the Aurora Order always so direct?
