Damn, when will the update come? Pervert, pah, when can a good man rise?
After giving instructions, Hefei left the base, and the training continued.
Veronica curiously asked, "What did mother just say to you? Is there something wrong with your bloodline?"
"Just a regular human."
"How is that possible?"
"I said I’m just a regular human."
Wayne didn’t elaborate further and changed the subject, "The teacher also said, ’you’re a girl, next time you bash my face with your chest, I’ll try to dodge if I can.’"
"Pah, it’s clearly you who move closer."
Infuriated, Veronica initiated the second round preemptively, and the sounds of huffing and puffing rose once again within the base.
The black luxury sedan stopped, and Wayne got out of the car, exchanging glances with Philark.
Wayne: Was anyone following us?
Philark: There’s been no one since that day.
Wayne nodded, another day without any results. It seemed like the minions of the Thousand-Eyed Demon had given up.
Why give up just like that? It’s only a matter of a few lives, might as well offer a chance for a hero to save the beauty!
After dinner, two women and a man sipped tea in the living room, followed by an hour and a half of night classes in the study.
There was more than one study in Wayne Manor, and the one with the hidden door was Wayne’s private study + secret wardrobe, which even Philark couldn’t enter at will.
After class, Wayne went to his private study where Valkyrie handed him a white shirt + trousers.
She had shaped the Holy Shroud with her thoughts, taking ten days to tailor it to Wayne’s body. To the naked eye, it appeared no different from an ordinary piece of clothing.
"The Hell Blood on the Holy Shroud is very high-grade, not from an ordinary offspring of an Evil God. This set of clothes can immunize against Elemental Magic within a certain range..." Valkyrie explained.
Wayne nodded, having discerned the remarkable qualities of the Holy Shroud during his battle with Sigma.
Produced by the Holy See, it had to be excellent. Next time the Devil attacked the cathedral, he would make sure he was there without fail.
"Does this clothing have any properties, like resistance to wear and tear?" Wayne asked as he stripped off his clothes, bare-chested, and began changing.
"The material is tough, so it won’t wear out unless it’s a very powerful attack. Be cautious of sharp weapons though," Valkyrie explained.
"Not to worry about damages, bring them back, and I can mend them with thought. But be mindful not to lose too much of it," Valkyrie added.
Meanwhile, Wayne had already started taking off his trousers.
Seeing this, Valkyrie cracked a smile, "Not too bad on the body, huh? Do you want me to help you and change your trousers?"
Wayne’s face flushed with embarrassment, the challenge of the first love on August 20th was too great, and in a situation where the other person wasn’t embarrassed, he was the one who felt awkward.
After changing clothes, Wayne tested the new suit with several bursts of flame, greatly satisfied with it.
Then he took the suit off again and changed back into his previous attire.
Valkyrie approached with a smile, sensing that the stubborn Knight Apprentice needed a bit of disciplining.
Wayne quickly changed clothes, denying Valkyrie any chance to close in, and quipped, "I have to head out tonight, this suit can’t be worn, it might reveal too much."
Before the Holy Shroud could return to its rightful owner, it had been in the hands of the Thousand-Eyed Demon; to prevent suspicion, it was best to keep it stored away for now.
So that’s your reason for changing right in front of me?
Valkyrie shook her head slightly, reluctantly accepting the reason, and frowned, "Wayne, do you need help investigating the Devil?"
"No need, you’re too conspicuous. Tonight I have a meet with an informant to inquire about the Holy See’s progress," Wayne responded.
Wayne proceeded to apply makeup, and in two minutes, the spitting image of a masked villain stood before Valkyrie.
Valkyrie: The apprentice is so subtle when being just, but quite straightforward when playing the bad guy.
Wayne gave an OK sign, moved through the underground wardrobe to the sewer, and then vanished without a trace.
He didn’t notice the lurking shadow outside Wayne Manor, which now turned and slipped away.
