Chapter 591 - 591: The Silver Coin



Varin’s POV:

The temporary evidence room was a simple tent. The ‘bombs’ and other suspicious items were temporarily placed there, waiting for rounds of inspection to confirm that they were harmless before they could be moved.

However, what did not match such a strict inspection procedure was the loose security. Other than an old policeman who looked like he was about to retire, there were only ‘visitors’ in the evidence room.

“Is it okay for the security to be so loose?” 1 asked quietly.

Lily lowered her voice as well. “The werewolf grandmaster cast anti-theft magic on the evidence. Nothing on this street is safer than it. Besides, no one was willing to take the initiative to guard the evidence room. They all hated the thing in the box. You’ll know when you see it.”

There was an ordinary-looking cardboard box on the table and traces of a delivery slip that had not been torn clean on the side. Next to it was a watch lying on a white cloth. It was made of brass and looked a little old, but that was all. There was nothing special about it.

“I was locked up in the dance studio. There were still a lot of these express delivery boxes piled up there. Some of them hadn’t even been opened.”

Lily sneered and said expressionlessly, “It was just a random delivery box and a watch. It’s such a simple toy that made us feel like we’re facing a great enemy. Did you know? I even felt the traces of the express delivery receipt on the box. This farce wouldn’t have been so difficult to end if I had been bolder.

“If I had been a little bolder, just a little. Unfortunately, I’m a coward. My legs tremble when people casually scare me, and 1 can’t think about anything.”

I gently held her arm and tried to comfort her. “It’s not your fault. In fact, you’re just a victim. Who could guarantee they would not panic even if they had a bomb in their arms? Don’t be too hard on yourself. This is all part of those bustards’ scheme. It has nothing to do with you.”

Lily smiled and opened the box.

In an instant, 1 felt an unbearable sense of dizziness. 1 smelled a foul stench as if a thousand cans of herring were in the box. However, when I felt it carefully, 1 realized that my nose didn’t react at all.

The smell seemed to go straight to my soul through my seven orifices, making me anxious and restless. 1 wanted to throw the box into the trench immediately or stay a million meters away from it.

“What the hell is this?!” My hair stood on end, and I forced myself to look into the box.

However, there was no canned herring in the box. There was only a small silver coin lying at the bottom. The silver coin was quite old, and its surface was covered with rust. One could vaguely see the patterns on the silver coin through the rust. There seemed to be… A flower?

“This is ‘dynamite’. It’s the only thing in the box.” Lily saw that I was about to faint and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Sit down and rest for a while. I’ll call the doctor.”

1 quickly stopped her. “No, no, I’m not uncomfortable. It’s just that the smell is too strong. 1 can’t get used to it at the moment.”

“Smell?” Lily frowned in confusion. “What smell?”

“Can’t you smell it? It’s the stench of this silver coin. Oh, no, I’m really going to throw up.”

1 couldn’t take it anymore, so 1 immediately rushed out of the evidence room to let the fresh air save my precarious nose and lungs. The strange thing was that this smell’s range seemed very small. Once we left the evidence room, we could not smell it.

Lily went to the side to get a cup of water for me and asked, “What happened? Does the silver coin have a smell? 1 didn’t smell anything.”

“Not at all?”

1 was a little surprised. Even the rats in the sewers couldn’t stand that disgusting smell.

Lily turned serious and pulled me to the doctor. “Maybe it’s not the silver coins; it’s you. People come and go here. If the silver coin is as smelly as you claim, it’s impossible that no one can smell them.”

1 began to doubt myself. Could I have overused my power and was feeling some aftereffects?

Craig reported to my parents about my physical condition, and we walked over. Craig stopped talking as soon as he saw someone beside me. My mother motioned for him to go ahead. When they discovered I had an olfactory illusion, they immediately took it seriously and asked to check my body.

This meant that I had to leave Parallel Street. I didn’t want to, but there were priorities. Now was not the time for me to join in the fun.

1 hoped to see Lily again today, so I asked, “Have you seen Alfred? He seems to be with Mr. Quinn. 1 heard that he has a week off. I think he will return to the manor at night. Will you go back too?”

“Maybe, 1 don’t know,” Lily said vaguely. “1 have other residences in the Silver Moon Pack, and 1 don’t think the manor welcomes me anymore.”

“How could that be? Mr. Quinn was very worried about you, and so was Alfred. They were all looking forward to your return.” 1 feared Lily would leave like this and even mentioned Heller. “And my brother… Didn’t you agree to collect candies together? If you leave, he will be very sad.”

Lily looked at me for a while, which made my heart beat faster. After a while, his shoulders dropped, and she nodded as if she was compromising..
