"Hahahaha!"
Enzo couldn’t hold back his laughter after gaining another two levels.
After all, this could be considered an exceptionally rare event.
BANG!
The Humanoid Dog’s headless body crashed to the ground while its severed head rolled several meters away.
Enzo’s expression quickly turned serious again.
At that very moment, a sphere of light appeared above the monster’s corpse.
Curious, Violet reached out and grabbed it.
Shua!
The sphere transformed into a human spine that appeared to be carved entirely from diamond.
Diamond Backbone.
Enzo’s eyes widened.
This was the other natural treasure required, alongside the Longevity Stone, to advance to Level 31.
Once an Awakener’s EXP was full and both treasures had fused with their body, they could break through to Level 31.
However, before reaching Level 30, neither treasure could be fused.
"What incredible luck..." he muttered, breathing faster.
Both treasures were unimaginably difficult to obtain.
That was why even a single one was priced at one billion dollars.
The Diamond Backbone was worth just as much, since it was equally rare.
Countless Awakeners had already reached Level 30 yet still hadn’t managed to obtain one.
Violet immediately stored the Diamond Backbone.
This was something that absolutely could not be exposed.
If word got out, countless Level 30 Awakeners would come to rob her.
’It’s time to head back,’ Enzo thought.
Having already reached Level 15, he was more than satisfied.
The rest could wait until tomorrow.
At this rate, Violet’s claim of reaching Level 20 within two days might actually come true.
Violet sprinted all the way back.
Under Enzo’s control, she deliberately avoided areas occupied by monsters.
Unless they were hiding in secluded places, monsters above Level 15 were quite rare.
There was no point wasting time killing weaker ones.
Moving at incredible speed, she soon arrived at Sanctuary’s gate.
The massive gate was tightly shut, though guards were naturally stationed above it.
"State your name," one of the supervisors called down.
"I’m Violet Muller."
It was simply protocol.
After confirming her identity, the gate opened.
Since it was already late at night, the Sanctuary was unusually quiet.
Violet headed straight toward her residence.
She no longer ran, but walked briskly instead.
Meanwhile, Enzo remained inside the café and let out a long sigh.
Today’s battle footage had already been transferred to his phone.
There were two main recordings.
The first was Violet’s battle against the Three-Headed Python.
The second began with her fight against the Slime, followed by the Giant Dog, and finally the arrival of the Humanoid Dog.
Enzo believed all of it was safe to release—
As long as the part where Violet obtained the Diamond Backbone was removed.
As for the items she had collected inside the cabin, they weren’t recorded at all.
The drones couldn’t film inside the wooden cabin.
They only captured Violet suddenly appearing and instantly beheading the Humanoid Dog.
At that moment, Violet herself had simply moved too fast.
Enzo began editing the footage, selecting only the most exciting moments.
A video that was too long wouldn’t be appealing.
He stitched all the highlights together into a single clip.
To avoid exposing all of Violet’s abilities, he deliberately removed every scene where she transformed into slime.
After all, hidden abilities were essential when fighting humans.
If every ability became public knowledge, enemies could easily devise countermeasures.
"This is definitely going viral..."
Enzo was convinced.
The battles were simply too spectacular and showcased overwhelming strength.
He knew videos like these were extremely rare.
Without hesitation, he uploaded the finished video to all of Violet’s social media accounts.
After finishing the rest of his food and coffee, he stood up and walked out of the private balcony.
Charlotte was still seated at her table, focused entirely on her laptop while continuously clicking her mouse.
Thanks to his high Intelligence, Enzo only needed a brief glance into her eyes to clearly catch the reflection on her laptop screen.
A strange expression appeared on his face.
She was actually playing online poker.
And the stakes were outrageous—
Tens of thousands of dollars every single round.
No one would ever imagine that such an elegant, refined woman secretly had a hobby like this.
Charlotte looked up and met his gaze, her brows knitting together.
Being stared at directly...
Of course she noticed.
Enzo immediately looked away.
It would be troublesome if she realized he had been peeking at her screen.
Simply admiring a beautiful woman was perfectly normal.
Almost every man in the café had stolen glances at her.
Even many women seemed captivated by her noble aura.
However, something unexpected happened.
Charlotte suddenly stood up.
"You... Enzo Muller."
Enzo’s eyes widened the moment she called his name.
How could she possibly know who he was?
With no other choice, he looked back at her, genuinely confused.
"You know me?"
"I know your father."
Enzo frowned slightly.
Many people knew his father.
Judging from her tone, however, she seemed to know him rather well.
"Is there something you need?" he asked.
"How about sitting here?"
She gestured toward the chair across from her.
Curious about what she wanted, Enzo nodded.
He walked over and took the seat.
"I’ve heard quite a lot about you from your father," Charlotte said.
"Really?"
Enzo’s expression turned strange.
It felt rather odd knowing that this woman already knew so much about him.
"When the newcomers arrived at Sanctuary One, I also heard them talking about you."
"My condolences."
"I don’t need anyone’s pity," Enzo replied calmly.
"You’re right."
"You don’t."
"You don’t look depressed or desperate at all."
"This isn’t the face of someone who truly failed."
"I can sense that you’re hiding something."
"What exactly can you sense?"
Enzo couldn’t help looking at her strangely.
Her gaze seemed capable of seeing straight through people.
"Your father must have fed you many rare treasures."
"...Yes."
Enzo nodded.
Some items from the Moba World could increase a person’s chances of Awakening.
His father had indeed given him plenty of such treasures.
Children born into powerful Awakener families practically all received them.
"My grandfather once obtained something that guaranteed anyone who consumed it would awaken with at least one S-Class Talent."
"He found three of them."
"One was given to me."
"Another to my cousin."
"As a result, I awakened with one S-Class Talent and three A-Class Talents."
Enzo’s eyes widened after hearing about Charlotte’s talents.
One S-Class Talent...
And three A-Class Talents.
Three A-Class Talents alone were already enough to rival someone possessing an S-Class Talent.
This woman was terrifying.
But something else she mentioned interested him even more.
"The third one was purchased by your father."
"He exchanged eight S-Class weapons and armor for it."
"I don’t know whether he gave it to you or someone else."
"Of course, it’s also possible you simply didn’t realize one of the foods you ate contained it."
"I highly doubt he would have given it to anyone else."
Charlotte continued speaking.
"Impossible..."
Enzo froze, his lips slightly parted.
So something like that had existed.
And she knew about it.
He wanted to smack his forehead.
What terrible luck.
With information like this, it was far too easy for Charlotte to draw further conclusions.
The problem was that he didn’t resemble someone who had truly failed.
How could he continue pretending to be a failure when his growth had been so extraordinary?
A rich man could pretend to be poor.
Someone who had once been poor but later became rich might still appear humble.
But no one could convincingly pretend to be hopeless.
Although he felt slightly uncomfortable at first, Enzo quickly regained his composure.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"So..."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Nothing."
"I simply wanted to confirm my suspicions."
"If you had truly failed, I probably would’ve cried for your father tonight."
"For having such a useless son."
Enzo: "..."
"You’re surprisingly rude."
"No wonder you’re a gambler."
Even now, Charlotte hadn’t stopped clicking her mouse to place bets.
"I’m sure you aren’t offended."
"After failing three trials, you’ve probably become immune to insults."
"No."
"I’m not."
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
"Is that so?"
"Then I apologize."
"Would you like some compensation?"
"How about whatever I win tonight?"
"Money is the least interesting form of compensation."
"Unless you have nothing else to offer."
Naturally, Enzo had no intention of refusing compensation.
He simply preferred something more useful.
"You don’t want money..."
"So you want a treasure?"
"I’m still just a newcomer."
"I don’t own anything particularly valuable."
"Would you mind if it were only a B-Class General Skill Book?"
"That’ll do."
Enzo nodded.
Pa!
A Skill Book appeared on the table.
Its cover depicted the roaring mouth of a ferocious beast.
"Roar of Beast."
"A Mana-based sonic attack."
"I obtained it by chance, but I don’t think it suits me."
"So you don’t want to look ferocious because of this skill."
Enzo chuckled.
He quickly picked it up and stored it inside his Storage Artifact.
His plan was to absorb it later at his guard post together with Etheric Muscle.
More importantly, he needed to prepare before drawing his own blood.
In any case, he had no reason to reject any skill.
"Well then, I’ll be going."
He stood up.
"Let’s exchange contact information first."
"Enter your number."
Charlotte suddenly handed her phone to him.
Enzo was caught completely off guard.
"...You’re not planning to pursue me, are you?"
he asked with a strange expression.
He could understand her offering compensation.
As a well-educated noblewoman, she was smart enough not to create unnecessary conflict with someone who showed great potential.
That was exactly why she had stopped Bryan from fighting Violet.
But trying to build a relationship by exchanging contact information now...
Wasn’t that moving far too fast?
