This time, the specter remained silent for a long while and didn't reply until Clayton reminded it."You could perhaps be a writer. Just talk about your experiences. It might be very popular."


"Or you might get a warning from the authorities," Clayton told it.


Such a straightforward deal made him quite happy, but some of the things he most needed to know probably couldn't be answered by the specter. It was something that had happened in the south of Dorn.


Clayton wanted to know if his parents and elder brother were werewolves like him.


"Is that all you have to ask?"


Compared to him, the specter still seemed to have more to say.


There were quite a few secrets in this world that could bring wealth, but there weren't many secrets that would make people feel intrigued.


Clayton's payment made it feel that it was worth it, and it wanted more.


"I have one more question. I saw that the Grail Society used the secret art of the Blood of Desire to create monsters in this city. Is there anyone in this city who has both the ability and the willingness to kill or expel the members of the Grail Society? Will the Elder Council be willing to take action?" Clayton asked it.


This wasn't really a secret, nor was it valuable intelligence.


But the specter still happily answered him because it believed that Clayton would provide more interesting secrets in the future.


"I'm afraid there isn't such a perfect existence in this city. Because they haven't violated our laws, nor have they gone out of their way to announce our existence to the public......."


Clayton furrowed his brows and interrupted the other angrily: "Isn't it illegal to turn people into that state?"


He hadn't gone out early. At this moment, the sun was just about to set. The light inside the house started to dim, especially in the corridor area. The glass smeared with impurities and scratches was almost opaque. He needed to exert more effort to see the specter's body clearly and distinguish its expression.


He heard the other laugh: "Dear Bello, there are no restrictions on mind control and physical transformation in the legal provisions."


"That's because... that's the law for ordinary people." Clayton didn't know what to say.


Indeed, the law didn't cover this.


"You're right, Bello. That's the clause that only ordinary people need to abide by. There's no such thing as law among the supernaturals. It's like no one would set a net to catch themselves."Clayton felt absurd and empty: "Then what do you use to resolve conflicts between groups?""The same way as resolving conflicts between individuals," the specter said.


"Do you mean a duel?"


"Yes."
