Dean McKenzie was nipped by the little mare and brought all the way back to Spring City.

After returning to Spring City, the little mare expertly delivered Ennis Hawkins to the Medical Center of the Professional Alliance.

Then, Dean McKenzie saw the entire medical center buzz with activity as Hawkins arrived.

The head of the Medical Center personally handled the treatment.

At the same time, all the staff and patients in the Medical Center also surrounded Hawkins when they learned he had been admitted.

Dean could tell that these people genuinely cared about Hawkins; they held him in awe.

They would gather around but wouldn’t dare to get too close, for fear of disturbing the doctor’s treatment.

As such, those who had accompanied Hawkins turned their attention to Dean, and he was soon surrounded.

They all began to question him about Hawkins’ condition.

He had never faced a situation like this before, and being questioned made his head spin.

Most regrettably, the things they were asking, Dean couldn’t just blurt out.

After all, he couldn’t go around declaring he had killed Breanna Holt to save Hawkins, could he?

Could he?

Thus, Dean could only answer vaguely.

However, many of the people in the Medical Center were elites of the Professional Alliance, with several from the Law Enforcement Team. They could quickly tell that Dean’s evasive answers were hiding something.

As a result, their questioning gradually began to resemble an interrogation.

It wasn’t until Anson Harris and others returned that Dean was finally off the hook.

Dean was led out of the medical center by Anson Harris.

Along the way, Anson Harris asked: “We found Breanna Holt’s body on the way back. She was killed by a penetrating wound to the eye. Did you do it?”

Startled, Dean hesitated before eventually nodding.

“When I came out of the Trial of the Demon Box, I saw her attacking Hawkins, so I intervened.

I didn’t expect to kill her in one hit…”

“You don’t have to worry; we have evidence that she was one of the instigators of this incident. Far from committing a crime, you’ve done a service by killing her. Once Hawkins wakes up, we can expedite your commendation!”

Anson Harris’s words greatly reassured Dean.

Simultaneously, Dean couldn’t resist asking, “How is Hawkins doing?”

“You don’t have to worry about him, the problem with Hawkins isn’t significant.

His level suddenly soared from level 80 to too, and the drastic rise enhanced his body enormously.

But at the same time, he seems to have cast a big spell, and his body is in an extremely weak state.

He fell into a coma because his body is severely drained.

As long as enough energy is replenished, he will wake up!”

“Oh good, good!”

This news immensely relieved Dean.

Anson Harris then arranged temporary accommodation for Dean.

“This matter may not be over yet, so stay here for a few days.

Meals will be delivered to you, and you don’t have to worry about safety. This is the highest-level safe house in Spring City and is considered the safest place in the whole city.

Rest well, and if there is anything you need, you can contact the staff here, they will help you resolve your issues. I have to go, I have some matters to attend to!”

“Take care!”

Dean bid farewell to Anson Harris and then entered the residence Anson Harris had arranged for him.

Surprisingly, the accommodation Anson Harris arranged was quite spacious.

The place was around one to two hundred square meters, arranged into a two-bedroom, one-living room layout.

There was no kitchen.

Furthermore, the two rooms were not both bedrooms; one was a bedroom, the other was a private training room.

When Dean entered the bedroom, his system notifications refreshed automatically.

[You have entered [Professional Alliance D-Class Safe House – Bedroom], you have triggered the Bedroom’s BUFF!]

[Bedroom BUFF: While in the bedroom, sleep quality is improved by fifty percent, recovery effect is increased by fifty percent!]

Seeing the system notification in front of him, Dean’s eyes lit up.

A room with attributes? This was his first time coming across such a thing.

Dean hurriedly checked the other room.

[You have entered [Professional Alliance D-Class Safe House – Training Room], you have triggered the Training Room BUFF!]

[Training Room BUFF: While in the training room, concentration is improved by fifty percent, insight is increased by fifty percent]

As the system notification refreshed, Dean distinctly felt a significant difference in his state of mind and body as compared to usual.

He felt energetic and lively.

Dean believed that if he practiced his skills in this state, his proficiency would skyrocket.

“This house is pretty good!

If only I could have a house like this!”

As soon as Dean said this, he couldn’t help but slap himself.

“No, no, I have to stay clear-headed, I can’t let myself feel envious.

It took me great effort to transmigrate once, I can’t be envying home-owners and end up becoming a mortgage slave again!”

Although, he said this, Dean couldn’t help but take a walk around the entire house.

The more he looked around, the more satisfactory the house became to him.

He grew more and more envious.

This house, from the interior design to the attribute buffs, everything struck a chord with Dean.

Even the price seemed reasonable to Dean.

For a two-hundred-square-meter house like this, all it cost was around 200 Gold Coins.

Who wouldn’t love a luxurious house with attributes like this for just twenty million?

However, once Dean saw the monthly property management and energy fees of 10 gold, he suddenly lost interest.

Finally, his attention shifted from the house to other matters.

As soon as Dean opened the Gate of Bone, he returned to the Land of Bone.

The moment he returned to the Land of Bone, he saw Doggy Two directing a large group of skeletons, moving the massive Bone Throne from the third wave.

Two to three hundred skeletons were crowded there, straining hard, but didn’t manage to move the Bone Throne very far.

“Doggy Two, what are you doing?”

Dean McKenzie asked curiously.

Upon hearing Dean’s voice, Doggy Two shivered, his Pupil Fire flickered, and his skull subconsciously turned to the side, appearing somewhat guilty.

Anthony, on the other hand, appeared almost immediately beside Dean, frantically waving his skeleton hands, as if snitching on Doggy Two.

Dean watched for a long time but couldn’t understand, mainly because Anthony’s actions were too fast.

Desperate, Anthony pointed at the giant Bone Throne and then at Doggy Two’s smaller one. He was almost ready to speak.

Only then did Dean understand.

“Doggy Two wants to merge the two Bone Thrones together?”

“Clack clack”

Anthony’s skull nodded furiously, the Pupil Fire showing relief, ‘finally, my daft owner gets it.’

Over there, Doggy Two was looking up at the sky, occasionally sneaking glances at Dean. Upon making eye contact, he quickly looked away, like a child caught doing mischief.

Rather than blaming Doggy Two, Dean offered a suggestion: “If you can’t move this big one, why can’t you move that smaller one over here?”

Upon hearing this, Doggy Two’s skeleton shook, its Pupil Fire suddenly brightening when it turned to look at Dean.

Filled with the shock of ‘I had never considered this.’

Then came the boundless admiration for Dean.

At this moment, Doggy Two believed Dean to be the smartest skeleton in the world.

Then, Doggy Two carefully lifted its beloved mini Bone Throne.

Despite being a mini Bone Throne, Doggy Two still had to struggle to lift it.

It was swaying and looked like it was struggling.

But Doggy Two didn’t want other skeletons to help. It seemed not to like other skeletons touching its throne, so it carried it alone.

Meanwhile, at Dean’s side.

Although he guessed that placing the two thrones together might cause some unexpected changes, Dean didn’t urge Doggy Two.

If it wanted to do it itself, then let it do.

Dean took this opportunity to take inventory of his loot.

He hadn’t yet opened the loot dropped by the Netherworld Skeleton Knight earlier.

Dean began by opening these loot points first.

[You have opened 5 loot points! ]

[You have obtained 50 Gold Coins]

[You have obtained the items [Skeleton Knight Template] and [Netherworld Skeleton Knight Summoning Order]]

[You have received the [Skeleton Horse Seed]]

[You have obtained the Skill Book for the Second-Level Skill [Bone Resistance]]

Skill Effect: Able to repel approaching enemies and inflict heavy damage on them.

Looking at the properties of these four items, Dean’s eyes lit up.

All four were valuable: one could summon a Level 3 combatant, two could create a skeleton knight, and the last was a skill specifically for Dean.

Not only could Dean learn it, but this skill could also make up for the lack in his combat system. Once learned, Dean would no longer fear close-quarters combat.

The only issue was that the skill was for Level 2, and Dean was currently only Level 35!

“The issue isn’t significant; I’m not far from reaching Level 2 myself, and I will be able to learn the skill soon.

First things first, let’s get my talent level up!”

As he spoke, Dean took out the Talent Stone.

Once Dean got the Talent Stone, an upgrade option appeared in his Attribute tab.

With a light tap, the system notification refreshed.

[Your Talent Rank has increased, now at 3!]

[You have received an additional Talent Grant Quota, currently remaining: 2!]

Dean quickly opened his Talent Stats.

Looking at this attribute, Dean couldn’t help but complain: “This attribute is as plain and straightforward as always!

Is it going to cost them to write an extra word?

Why can’t they give more detailed explanations?”
