Transcendent Dawn

“Transcendents hiding within campus?”

Lime expressed his anger aptly, “What are they trying to do? How could pollution be allowed under the Goddess’s glory?”

St. George’s University is considered the reserved field of the Goddess Church, of course, it won’t permit foreign Transcendents to infiltrate.

“I know from my family’s knowledge that the other party is a Transcendent, but I don’t know how to solve this!” Su Lu feigned confusion.

“That’s normal, after all, ordinary cops won’t believe your words, and by the time the other party does something irreversible, it would be too late!” Lime concurred.

“Fortunately, I know Donald, and Donald knows you!”

Su Lu said, without revealing the true identity of the hidden figure.

“Your actions are brave and have maintained the school’s safety, you’ll be rewarded for it!” After rambling on for a bit, Lime finally let up: “How about a scholarship for an outstanding graduate?”

“Thank you for your generosity, but I’ve always been interested in the world of Transcendents!” Su Lu subtly made his request.

“That … might be difficult!”

Lime furrowed his brows: “The world of Transcendents is dangerous, and the knowledge it offers even more so! The Transcendent you know, who, according to Donald, can control shadows, has deviated from the Goddess’s path and fallen into darkness … her abilities should be retracted, the secret knowledge carefully regulated …”

“Hmm?” Su Lu glanced at Donald, who could only respond with a bitter smile.

Alright, it seemed he had overestimated Donald’s connections.

Su Lu paused: “Then, if we take a step back, how about some other spoils of war, like the Golden Dragon … or, books that slightly involve mystery?”

Lime hesitated, then looked at Donald: “Alright … if it’s not ‘sensitive’ content, I can allow you to duplicate a copy, this is the bottom line! Now, tell me her name!”

“Mentor Catherine!” Su Lu took a deep breath: “I began suspecting her through

Moli, and … she’s very dangerous and seems to be hiding something.”

“Catherine, right?”

Lime nodded, stood up, indicating that the meeting was over.

Seeing his stance, Su Lu and Donald could only rise and take their leave.

Only after the two left the villa, Lime didn’t leave the living room but sat down, drinking his red tea, and suddenly asked: “So?”

A section of the wall suddenly opened, and a figure stepped out.

He was in his thirties, with a resolute face and a unique aura. He responded in a meticulous tone: “Nothinz special, he wasn’t sworn into the ‘Transcendents’, he’s just an ordinary person!”

“I knew it, a declining small family, now they actually want to acquire supernatural knowledge from the outside world … I’m afraid their lineage is already extinct.” Lime chuckled and shook his head: “That Catherine, you’re going to take care of it?”

“That’s a minor matter, a first rank [Shadow Binder], she can’t control more than three shadows, a squad of armed policemen can eliminate her.”

The man replied in a rigid tone: “Inform the police station, they’ll send elite personnel to resolve this matter, I didn’t come for this.” “Is it about ‘that matter’ then?”

Lime’s face turned grave: “The beautiful Beryl Taylor?”

“Yes! Her growth rate is unimaginable, simply terrifying! There have already been law enforcers who have died by her hand … ” the man said.

“What?” Lime stood up in shock: “She … She killed a law enforcer?”

Law Enforcers, from the Federation’s special department, each one a Transcendent! And elite among Transcendents! They are specifically responsible for dealing with some extraordinary events!

“The department has adjusted her danger rating, but we don’t know where she got her ‘inheritance’ from! That’s why they sent me to investigate at the university!”

A look of doubt crossed the man’s face: “Everyone around Beryl needs to be investigated … I initially had some suspicions about this Su Lu, but then I met him today and found out he’s just an ordinary person!”

“Then … where does the danger really come from?” Lime was a bit curious.

“Don’t know … after all, it’s the biggest change in three hundred years, along with the upheaval in the world, those hidden, powerful, indescribable entities will gradually wake from their slumber! Projecting shadows onto our world . The man’s voice became increasingly hazy and started to drop off.

“Sorry …”

When they got back into the carriage and closed the carriage door, Donald suddenly spoke: “I didn’t know …” “It’s fine.”

Su Lu shrugged his shoulders.

Since he was the one asking a favor, he could understand if the conditions were lowered.

But this Donald, he probably knew there was a catch, yet still chose this option. Did this have anything to do with the other compensations Lime was offering?

For instance, the credit for this matter, once Donald enters the church, a grand notation will be recorded in his personal records?

Su Lu wasn’t afraid to speculate about the worst in people. Compared to wild, completely unguaranteed supernatural powers, the church that has stood the test of time is indeed more reliable.

However, that longing for superhuman power Donald exhibited earlier didn’t seem fake.

“You … planning to be a bystander?”

The carriage sped through the streets, and they arrived at the university campus.

After getting off the carriage, Donald hesitantly asked.

“I’ll definitely be spectating, as for seizing the opportunity, don’t even think about it!”

This operation was backed by official forces, so there was minimal chance of any mishap.

If there were to be any, it would likely be the other witch Su Lu had kept hidden.

The reason being, he had his own plans.

Based on the negotiation with Catherine previously, he knew that what happened to Beryl in the sewer, as long as he keeps quiet, virtually no one can guess the truth.

Earlier, he intentionally withheld some information from Lime in hopes of creating some ‘accidents’, beneficial accidents!

Like… due to a misjudgment of strength, the criminal escapes.

Then, he would take advantage of the situation, reaping the biggest gains, that wasn’t impossible.

‘Of course… the most probable scenario is that Mr. Lime amasses a massive force, seizing complete control of the situation with overwhelming numbers. In that case, I’ll just have to suck it up. Anyway, getting rid of two threats isn’t bad.’

“Just like my thoughts!”

A look of excitement appeared on Donald’s face: “We might get to witness a showdown between Transcendents, who could pass up on that?”

“Can you find out when they’re making their move?”

Su Lu was suddenly interested.

“There’s no need to find out, you can guess. If you have crucial information and an absolute advantage, would you still wait?”

“Of course not, I would make my move immediately, take everything into my own hands, and eliminate all uncertainties!”

Su Lu nodded: “I get it, it’s very likely to happen tonight!”
