“Area-wide Mental Hypnosis?”

Leonard Churchill saw Enlightenment, with no hint of surprise on his face.

Because he wasn’t sure if this spell was targeting him.

He continued to cheer as he had been, but internally he was thinking fast.

Reminiscing about his careful movements since he arrived, he should not have given anything away.

He glanced around stealthily but didn’t see anyone paying attention to him.

It was very likely he hadn’t been exposed.

“What’s the deal? Who has nothing better to do than cast area-wide mental hypnosis at a bunch of gamblers?”

Leonard Churchill was puzzled, but not panicking.

The Clown mask had absorbed some divine blood from the Light and Dark Cross, boosting its immunity to various mysterious system spells. Typical mysterious techniques would now struggle to affect him.

On the contrary, he wanted to figure out the source of this spell.

Mental Hypnosis is usually achieved by influencing the target’s perception.

The most common routes are through sight and hearing.

Leonard Churchill glanced around the room, but didn’t see anything like a “pocket watch”, a “glowing pendant”, or other visual hypnosis mediums.

Could it be sound?

Leonard Churchill carefully analyzed the sounds he was hearing but didn’t notice anything unusual.

That meant either the spellcaster was highly skilled, or they had used some special means.

The exemption prompt from the Mental Hypnosis was still appearing.

This indicated that the spellcaster was nearby.

After observing for a while, Leonard Churchill finally identified something unusual.

A little man wearing a duckbill cap had changed his position several times.

Churchill didn’t reveal anything unusual and thought to himself: “Is he looking for someone? Or something…”

He was also interested.

It seemed the little mustached man hadn’t found what he was looking for and he kept changing position in the crowd.

His acting was impressive.

As a fellow actor, Churchill realized why he hadn’t noticed this guy’s unusual behavior earlier.

Soon, the little mustached man came over to Churchill, leaned on the railing, and casually asked, “Brother, who did you bet on?”

As soon as he heard this, Leonard Churchill confirmed that it was this guy!

Because Enlightenment accurately indicated a targeted exemption from the spell: “You exempted a mental spell ‘True Word Skill’ hypnosis.”

Impressive, he could hypnotize people just by talking.

Who the hell is this guy?

Most likely he’s not from the brotherhood.

Contained in Churchill’s swiftly turning thoughts, he casually showed his betting ticket and answered without skip, “Oh, I bet on Rex Smith. The odds are much higher. How about you, brother?”

“I also bet on Rex Smith.”

However, the man with the mustache seemed to think his hypnosis had worked, so he bluntly asked again: “Where are you from?”

Enlightenment kept appearing.

Every sentence of this man was enhanced with True Word Skill, it was impossible to lie to him under normal circumstances.

Churchill already knew that the man was probing him, “Oh, I’m a hunter from Sinless City.”

Saying that he also boldly draped an arm over the guy’s shoulder, acting very chummy: “Where are you from brother? You look like you’re from Upper City?” He was also very curious about who this guy was.

As an excellent magician, Churchill was well-versed in the tricks commonly used by thieves.

In Sinless City, if nothing else, there was no shortage of thieves.

Even if he was exposed, as a local from Sinless City, knowing a few thieving skills wouldn’t be surprising, right?

He had to assume since the guy was using hypnosis for his investigation, he probably had something to hide.

He wouldn’t react violently just because he put an arm around his shoulder, right?

Speaking, Churchill’s hands deftly roamed up and down.

Aw, these pecs…seem a bit exaggerated.

The outer clothes seem normal, but the inner lining was a bit too high-end, wasn’t it?

He initially wanted to feel around the guy to see if there was anything special about him to confirm his background.

But something didn’t seem quite right.

Seeing this overly familiar guy with his arm around his shoulder, the little mustached man hadn’t discovered the ulterior motive in that skillful maneuver, but disdain flashed in his eyes.

No one had ever dared to offend her like this before!

Hearing the answer that she didn’t want to hear, she spat out coldly, “Let go!”

‘You exempted a mental spell ‘Command Compliance’.’

Leonard Churchill inwardly smirked.

Oh, can’t stand it, can you?

Churchill immediately judged that this was a woman disguised as a man.

Not a professional secret agent, but a good actor without any real-life experience in the lower levels of society, arrogant enough to think she’s very smart…

Could it be a lady from a noble family out incognito?

Her disguise wasn’t perfect, but she had this bizarre spell that hypnotized people just by talking, which made it hard to catch her out.

Churchill didn’t understand her intentions.

But he knew what this “Directive Skill” meant and pretended to be oblivious, releasing his arm.

The little mustached woman who seemed uninterested just left without another word.

Churchill didn’t know what she was looking for, and he didn’t dare to follow her.

If she was a noble lady in disguise, most likely she had bodyguards watching her from the shadows.

As long as she didn’t come for him, Churchill didn’t worry too much.

It seemed unlikely to encounter ‘Boxing King’ Abel in the Gladiator Arena tonight.

But seeing one of his disciples in action was also rewarding.

So Churchill just continued to watch the match.

The fight on the stage was nearing its climax. However, at this moment, a group of people who were obviously gang members surged into the betting stands from various directions.

Their expressions were panicked, and it was clear that a major incident had occurred..
