Christensen squinted his eyes as he read through the thick book, his eyes shed in understanding. ''He mixed it with themonnguage to make it easier for me, while keeping enough English to prevent others from understanding it''.
Due to the fact that his master only started teaching him his made-upnguage only a few months ago, he didn''t have the time to learn much yet.
At this moment, Christensen was still just a learner in English Language. This was why Legs mixed the texts in the book with themonnguage, those written with asterisks were themonnguage and there was enough of them.
With these, Christensen was slowly able to piece the individual words intoplete and coherent sentences. It was hard but he persevered.
With Geralt''s help, Christensen had all the time and convenience that he needed to fully immerse himself in the book, trying to deduce the clues.
The more Christensen read, the more his awe for his master increased.
''Such a sophisticatednguage…''
''How was master able toe up with the idea to create this?''
The Englishnguage literally catered for every thinkable word, just the amount of brain power that his master needed to create every word was so humungous that just thinking about it gave Christensen a headache.
''How was a 16-year-old young man able to create this?'' Christensen waspletely amazed by what he was seeing.
''Damn, when I was 16, what was I doing? I really wasted my youth''. He wanted to really cry at this moment.
''Is master really a freak of nature?''
''Is he one of those once in a millennium geniuses?''
Amid his thoughts and as he continued reading and forming theplete sentences, something else awed him. ''How did master know so much?''
''I doubt even some Red Masters know this much about their organization''.
What he didn''t know was that during his previous life, after the end of Version 1''s storyline, before the long development time that followed to theunch of Version 2, the yers got to farm the final battle arc through a dungeon crystal.
There, Legs and literally every yer got to fully explore the Clown Society, this was why Legs knew so much about this organization.
Even as Christensen continued reading, from the shadows, the leader of the Crimson de Assassins observed the Grade D Summoner.
Despite knowing much about him already, thepetence, intelligence, and adaptability of this Summoner still shocked him.
5 days ago, Christensen came to meet him with a proposal.
"I have a proposal for you".
"Help me uncover the clues left for me by my master, help me market them to the main organizations and the Grade C Superhuman alliance".
"Whatever the pay is, we''ll share it 70/30 with you taking 30%".
At first, Geralt simply thought that Christensen was an incredibly gusty fool but having followed the achievements of their assassin unit, he gave in to his curiosity and agreed to the arrangement without haggling.
5 dayster, he was already amazed by what Christensen achieved.
Not only was this Summoner right about the secret investigator and not only did hepletely y ck Master Einstein, like he promised, he was now getting real information about the Clown Society.
His ck predatory eyes narrowed. ''I hope this is not a scam''.
"Got it!" Christensen suddenly eximed.
After 3 full days of reading, he finally got the most crucial information.
>*Headquarters*: Hidden beneath the Hellfire Mountains<
He turned to face Geralt. "Their headquarters is hidden in the East close to the borders of the Blue Sea, beneath the Hellfire Mountains".
Geralt narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure?"
"100% certain!" Christensen answered confidently.
"So, what do we do?"
"We wait". Christensen smiled. "We wait until they recognize the need for information, then we throw our lot at them, they''ll take the bait".
…
Bzzz!
The space shifted as a familiar face teleported under the Hellfire Mountains.
After days of searching for more clues to no avail, frustrated, ck Master Einstein returned to his hideout. This ck Master did not return without a motive though, he directly stormed towards Clown''s researchb.
ck Master Einstein broke through the Elementalist barrier that was around theb. "Where is Legs?"
Clown turned to look at him. "He''s alive, why?"
"We need to get the truth from him!"
By now, his energy check already detected the human in the Abyss Hole. As he marched there, Clown stopped him. "He is my prime test subject, you can''t…"
"Legs is a threat to the sess of our n".
"…" Clown raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Einstein barging into his workshop, questioning him in such a tone, acting without his permission, these were things that this warrior had never done before, the sudden change surprised him.
Noticing his surprised gaze, ck Master Einstein calmed down. "After capturing him, my instincts pushed me and I decided to investigate him".
This ck Master''s eyes gleamed. "Legs is an anomaly, he knows too much, he knows things that he''s not supposed to know".
Clown calmed down. "I know that he''s special".
"You remember when the Hunter Union busted our hideouts? He sold the information to them". He raised the thick book up. "This is a book that he wrote and it contains detailed information about our organization".
"The main organizations don''t have it yet because he intended to use it to get benefits, now his student took over his mission".
"How detailed?"
"I don''t know, that''s the problem".
Clown''s eyes narrowed as he took the book, on looking through it, he frowned.
ck Master Einstein exined. "He created a newnguage that he taught to his student, only both of them can understand it".
"Do you have any idea what the book entails?"
"No, that''s why we need to interrogate him". ck Master Einstein''s eyes turned sharp. "We need to know if the information inside would ce us in a vulnerable spot, we need to n ahead and prepare countermeasures".
Clown turned to look at him. "I''ve worked on Legs for over a week, he''s a strong-willed individual, he won''t break, he won''t speak".
"If he won''t speak, then we force him".
"He''s strong-willed…"
"I know, but he''s not immune to brainwashing".
"…"
Even Clown was taken aback by his partner''s craziness today.
On any other day, he was usually the craziest but today, Einstein simply radiated a crazy enthusiasm that he had not seen before.
Clown narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure you can pull it off?"
"Yes".
"Without damaging him?"
"What do you need him intact for?"
"He''s my prime test subject". Clown''s eyes gleamed. "My mind tells me that he is special, he has the potential of being my first perfect test subject that would break the limits of the Grade B realm".<novelnext></novelnext>
"He''s not even a Grade C superhuman yet!"
The 2 strongest leaders of the Clown Society arguing was a rare sight.
All the scientists in this room were as silent as mutes, if they could, they would have preferred turning into stone statues already as the atmosphere turned tenser by the second as Einstein insisted on brainwashing Legs.
While both powerful Elementalists bickered, underneath them in the Abyss Hole, Legs was as quiet as a mouse as he listened to everything.
Legs literally had to listen as his end was argued by his captors.
He felt the pressure as sweat ran down his body, but he kept his hopes alive. After over a dozen hours since it started, the progress already increased a lot and its speed was increasing, he checked his virtual interface again.
Legs didn''t know what would happen after, he simply hoped that theplete merge with the Magic Rune would give him the capital to escape.
That was the best that he could do, hope.

Legs closed his eyes. "Please, progress faster".
A few minutester, he checked again.

Thud!
Legs felt his heart leap out of his throat, he did not resist as the bunch of psychopaths in protective clothing came to haul him away.
About 3 minutester, the ominous eyes of ck Master Einstein pinned him for death as he was strapped to a white bed.
This ck Master''s eyes gleamed. "Today, one way or another, I will learn your secret".
"Commence the brainwashing procedures".
"Yes sir".
Legs held his breath and steeled his mind for theing torture.
While the procedures started, at another side, Christensen was finally contacted by the leaders of the Grade C Superhuman alliance.
…
"These are my terms".
"Term Number 1, when the battle starts, the priority of the alliance should be on rescuing my master and nothing else".
"My master must be rescued before youmence any other n".
"Term Number 2, 200,000,000 Darvis Credits".
"Term Number 2, any gains and loot from the ruins of the Clown Society will be divided between you and me 50/50". Christensen smiled.
"Outrageous!" One of the Grade C Superhumans exploded.
"The Clown Society is rich in resources, rare resources and technology. How can only you take 50% while the rest of us share the remaining scraps?"
With Geralt behind him, Christensen did not waver.
"I am the only one who understands the contents of this book, it''s either you take my offer or you go in blind against the Clown Society and suffer".
"My offer is not changing".
"Also, if you ept my offer, after toppling their headquarters, I am willing to also sell information about all their hideouts to enable you root them out of thepletely at the fastest time possible".
Core Protector Shanks calmly looked at this Summoner. "You know your master is in danger right? Do you think you have the luxury to be doing this?''''
"I do". Christensen smiled at this old legend.
"My master''s creed is to always benefit from every situation, he''ll be proud of me when he hears of my exploits. Any additional suffering that he faces during this time, he''ll endure it, he''s a strong man".
"…"
The Grade C Superhumans had mixed reactions to this.
Most of them were shrewd, they saw themselves superior to this Summoner, they tried to intimidate him but Christensen was not so easily intimidated.
In the end, after wasting 20 minutes, they relented.
Christensen smiled. "60/40 it is".
"Tell us where their headquarters is". Hunter Master Lydia''s eyes shed.
"Underneath the Hellfire Mountains".
"Another thing, I''m tagging along".
With that, Christensen came to an ord with the Grade C Superhumans. Without hesitation, they started nning even as he took time to meet and speak with his junior brother who surprisingly already broke through.
…
"Arggghh…!!!"
"Who are you?"
"I am Legs!"
"You are not Legs, tell us who you are!"
"I AM LEGOLAS!!!"
"No!"
"Arggghh…, f*ck you!"
Legs was suffering.
His body suffered no injuries but Einstein was a chemist. With his potions and drugs, they kept him in a state of extreme pain and stimtion, Legs was finding it hard to hold on to his memories.
Amid the suffering, the only thing that kept him sane was the constant virtual interface notifications.

Heughed. "Hahaha…, it''s not long now".
"What''s not long now?"
"F*CK YOU!"
For 20 minutes, Legs suffered but it was not without merit.
After 20 minutes, it finally happened.

Legs received 2 sessive messages amid his suffering, then the next moment, he exploded with power even as his eyes turned white.
