The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

Although Benjamin had successfully rescued Vicky this time, there was no smile on his face. After all, Aron and Anna had been taken over by Elder Lawrence during this operation.

Elder Lawrence was, in fact, more dangerous than the other elders of the Night Blades. He had completely lost his sanity. His soul was pieced together from the grievances of various werewolves and dark forces.

Not to mention, Elder Lawrence seemed to have formed an alliance with Sophia. While Sophia\'s behavior had not been overtly insane, collaborating with Elder Lawrence indicated that she had also completely lost her rationality.

After a long pause, Irving struggled to speak.

"I don\'t think I need to reiterate our current situation. We must rescue Aron and Anna, who are under Elder Lawrence\'s control, as soon as possible. As for Sophia\'s current condition, I\'m not very clear on that. I don\'t know if she\'s being controlled by some kind of spell. Therefore, I will be heading to Starling City again to meet with Jony.

Jony probably hasn\'t revealed all the secrets of his family to me yet. Once I inform him about Sophia\'s situation, he should share all the secrets with me. In the meantime, all you need to do is ensure your own safety. Please make sure not to get into another dangerously precarious situation. I can\'t bear to see another one of you fall under the enemy\'s control."

Irving\'s plan was actually quite reasonable.

After Irving finished speaking, Benjamin turned his gaze directly toward Nick.

"I think you shouldn\'t return to the Angel Guild headquarters. With Aron and Anna already under Elder Lawrence\'s control, going back to the Angel Guild will only isolate you. It would be better for you to stay here with us at Ocean Group. By staying here, we can look out for each other, and we can also strengthen the defenses at the headquarters."

Nick thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I\'ll stay here. However, you need to accompany me to the Angel Guild headquarters first. The other members of the Angel Guild don\'t yet know what\'s happening. I must inform them so they don\'t fall into a state of panic."

Nick\'s reasoning was sound, so Benjamin readily agreed.

"You two must take Vicky with you when you go to the Angel Guild," Irving added at the end. He was very concerned that Vicky might encounter danger again. So, he decided it would be best for the three of them to stick together at all times.

After making arrangements for the upcoming actions, Irving chose to leave. He believed that in the coming period, he needed to focus his mind on finding a solution to the power of the blood moon. Although Aron and Anna were under Elder Lawrence\'s control and Sophia was acting in alliance with him, Irving felt that the key issue was not Elder Lawrence himself, but rather the power of the blood moon.

After all, Elder Lawrence was also acting to seize that power. Only by uncovering the deepest secrets of the blood moon\'s power could he hope to resolve the current crisis.

After Irving left, Benjamin, Nick, and Vicky set off for the Angel Guild headquarters.

That afternoon, Irving arrived once again at the Green family\'s secret base on the outskirts of Starling City. This time, he no longer needed to greet the members guarding the entrance, as they were mostly familiar with him by now. Irving smoothly entered the interior of the secret base.

At this moment, Jony was gazing up at the sky. Following Jony\'s line of sight, Irving saw the orange sun slowly sinking below the horizon.

"You came to see me this time because your mission failed, didn\'t you?" Jony asked, still not looking at Irving. He simply stared into the distance as twilight approached.

Irving responded in a similarly calm tone. "You\'re correct; my mission did indeed fail. I managed to rescue Vicky, but my other two companions are under Elder Lawrence\'s control. Their situation is uncertain at this point. Moreover, Sophia, who has already transformed into a werewolf, is cooperating with Elder Lawrence. I don\'t understand why Sophia would ally with him.

I suspect her actions are closely tied to the power of the blood moon. Although you shared many secrets about the blood moon\'s power last time we spoke, I feel there are still things you haven\'t told me."

At this point, Jony slowly turned his gaze toward Irving. "What else do you want to know? I\'ve already told you that my family possesses werewolf bloodlines. Why do you think I\'m hiding more secrets?"

Jony\'s tone was slightly unfriendly as he spoke. At that moment, Jony harbored a certain hostility toward Irving.

Irving could certainly hear the underlying tone in Jony\'s words, so he responded in a gentler manner.

"The information you provided earlier was indeed very valuable. However, I believe the secrets surrounding Sophia go beyond just that. Sophia was originally skilled in frost magic. Even after transforming into a werewolf, she should still be able to use some frost spells. Yet, during the battle, I didn\'t see her employ any frost magic.

Is it possible that Sophia has been completely controlled by the power of the blood moon? Or is she under Elder Lawrence\'s dark influence? What are your thoughts on this situation?"

Upon hearing Irving\'s questions, Jony let out a sigh.

"Stop pursuing this further. I\'ve already told you that Sophia\'s current situation is beyond your ability to save. Since the blood moon has been born, werewolves will undoubtedly be affected by its power."

After saying this, Jony walked deeper into the secret base.

Irving, of course, was not one to give up easily, so he quickly followed after him.

"So you\'re just going to give up? You\'re not even going to try to rescue your own daughter?"

"My daughter is indeed very important to me, but she also possesses werewolf blood. Since the power of the blood moon has activated her werewolf side, then let her exist as a werewolf."

After finishing his statement, Jony made his way into the innermost room of the base. He slammed the door shut behind him.

It was clear that he had no intention of continuing the discussion with Irving.

Irving looked at the heavy door and couldn\'t help but let out a sigh.

"It seems the situation is worse than I thought. Jony is not only withholding a lot of information, but he may also have already collaborated with Elder Lawrence."

Irving\'s speculation was that this was the worst-case scenario. Deep down, however, he still couldn\'t bring himself to believe that Jony would team up with Elder Lawrence, given how brutally the Night Blades had targeted him in the past.

Nevertheless, Irving realized that there was no way for him to gather more intelligence here. So, he could only place his hopes on heading to the old headquarters of the Angel Guild.

Irving recalled that he had previously found clues related to the power of the blood moon at the old headquarters of the Angel Guild. Although he had encountered a force he couldn\'t counter last time, he believed that returning might yield additional clues. With that decision made, he immediately headed to the old headquarters of the Angel Guild.

When he arrived, he noticed that there were no soldiers guarding the area anymore. It seemed that after the last incident, the soldiers had been withdrawn from around the old headquarters. Without any obstruction, Irving entered the building.

He followed his memories to the innermost library of the Angel Guild\'s old headquarters. Upon reaching the exact spot where he had last stood, Irving suddenly heard a very ethereal voice.

"Why have you come here again? Haven\'t you learned from your last experience? I warned you that if you returned, I would eliminate you on the spot."

The ethereal voice didn\'t frighten Irving; instead, it brought him a sense of relief and even excitement. He felt that this voice could provide him with valuable assistance.

"I didn\'t come here to disturb you; I simply hope to receive your help. If you can provide me with information related to the blood moon, I will leave immediately."

This time, Irving had not prepared for battle. He knew he was no match for the entity. Instead, he chose to appeal to it with sincerity.

"Why would I provide you with such information? What benefit would it bring me? Don\'t you know that my purpose is to await the arrival of the Dark Overlord?"

Although the ethereal voice rejected Irving\'s proposal, it was clear that it was willing to continue the conversation. Irving keenly seized this opportunity.

"I know you are waiting for the arrival of the Dark Overlord, but from what I understand, that process will take a long time. In the meantime, you will be influenced by other forces. If you share information about the blood moon\'s power, I can help you weaken it."

Irving\'s intent behind this statement was to test the entity\'s willingness to cooperate. He had no knowledge of the relationship between the entity and the power of the blood moon. After he presented his proposal, the ethereal voice fell silent.

It was evident that the entity was contemplating whether Irving\'s proposal would be beneficial to it. During this period of silence, Irving refrained from speaking, not wanting to provoke it.

After about ten minutes, the ethereal voice emerged once more.

"What method do you have to weaken the power of the blood moon? The blood moon cannot be destroyed or sealed, and you are far too weak."
