Once you step into this incomplete sequence, you may never cross into Sequence Five for the rest of your life, which is the threshold for distinguishing high-sequence Transcendents.

Only the sequences of the Seven Great Gods, and a few secret sequences and Evil God sequences, have the hope of reaching the level of a Saint or a Demigod.

As for higher sequences, they are almost legendary.

The three sequences that Sain mastered are just incomplete sequences. Lu Yan was already aware of the related information, and for Lu Yan, this incomplete sequence is worthless.

As for those low-tier magic potions and sealed objects, they are also useless to Lu Yan.

Seeing the increasingly frosty look in Lu Yan's eyes, Sain's body trembled even more fiercely.

In front of a Sequence Five bigwig, his wealth and extraordinariness meant nothing, which brought a hint of despair to Sain's eyes.

"That fool Booker, actually brought such a great figure back."

"If I get the chance, I definitely won't let that fool off!"

Thoughts flashed through his mind, suddenly Sain recalled Booker's words at the time.

According to Booker, he encountered Lu Yan in the industrial area while preparing to make an example of a small worker.

Lu Yan took out a gold pound and paid the protection fee for the small worker.

"Factory, workers, gold pounds..."

A flash of Spiritual Light suddenly occurred in Sain's mind, and he hurriedly said aloud:

"Sir! Our Black Robe Gang has extremely high prestige among the workers, and even has a significant influence throughout the entire industrial area.

If you wish to use these workers to achieve a goal, my Black Robe Gang is definitely your best aid!"

With these words, Sain immediately felt the chill in the gaze of this great figure in front of him begin to change.

Lu Yan scrutinized the werewolf in front of him, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Giving Sain an opportunity was just something Lu Yan said casually, but unexpectedly, this werewolf actually managed to perceive a bit of Lu Yan's motive, which sparked some interest in Lu Yan.

Nevertheless, Lu Yan maintained a dispassionate demeanor outwardly, and coldly questioned:

"Having extremely high prestige among the workers? What you describe seems a bit different from what I observed."

Sain silently breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and stammered:

"Sir, are you referring to the protection fee issue?

In fact, it's not only our Black Robe Gang that collects the protection fee, but all the gangs in the industrial district do. Compared to others, our Black Robe Gang's amount is considered relatively minimal.

Moreover, after collecting the protection fee, our Black Robe Gang also takes care of the surrounding area's safety, preventing other gangs from crossing into our territory to extort workers, or helping workers demand their wages. In short, we've done quite a lot."

"You must know, most of the workers in the industrial district are of serf origin, and those factories are often protected by nobles.

The factory owners, knowing the serfs are timid and ignorant, have them sign haphazard contracts, then use the nobles' names to threaten them a bit, causing the serfs not to dare demand their wages.

Several years ago, a factory owner even demanded compensation from the families of workers who died suddenly on duty, affecting the production lines.

These factory capitalists might appear gentlemanly, but they are much more ruthless than us small gangs."

Lu Yan's eyes flickered. He searched through Sain's memories mostly concerning the Extraordinary, without investigating these matters.

Yet given the current situation, Sain didn't seem bold enough to deceive him.

Lu Yan was noncommittal towards Sain's explanation, but his manner ultimately relaxed somewhat.

Seeing this, Sain immediately continued:

"You saw us, the Black Robe Gang, collect protection fees and even prepare to make an example of a small worker, so it left a bad impression on you.

But this world is just like this, in the industrial district, is there any household without major illnesses?

If everyone were to find similar excuses not to pay the protection fee, then our Black Robe Gang can't survive, it's simply a necessary means."

Lu Yan's gaze fell, and Sain seemed burdened with an overwhelming weight, his body slammed to the ground with force.

The floor paved with bluestone shattered, Sain's limbs and head deeply embedded in the ground.

That terrifying pressure seemed ready to fuse Sain's flesh with the ground.

Sain's face twisted, werewolf blood surged within him, blue veins bulged all over his body, yet before this terrifying pressure, it was completely ineffective.

"Do not attempt your sinister schemes."

Lu Yan said plainly.

Then he withdrew his gaze, the pressure on Sain dissipating.

Sain gasped heavily, a look of having narrowly escaped death appeared on his face.

Lu Yan not killing him proved Sain's guess was correct, the key issue indeed lay with those mud-legged workers.

Thinking of this, Sain felt extreme gratitude towards his choice.

He was originally a poor worker himself, and only due to accident did he enter the magical path, ultimately becoming a Seventh Rank werewolf.

Precisely because of his background, Sain's exploitation of workers was far less extreme, drawing some criticism from the gang members, yet he still maintained a stance of leaving a lifeline for the workers.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely this attempt to salvage some conscience that saved his life at this moment.

"What about the corpses of those children parked behind this building?"

Lu Yan asked again.

Long before entering the Black Robe Gang's base, Lu Yan's Divine Sense had spotted dozens of child corpses parked at the back of the base, the youngest estimated to be only three or four years old, the oldest just six or seven.

Lu Yan didn't consider himself a good person, often following one's interests, but upon seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but experience some emotional turbulence, hence leading to the direct soul search on Sain.

Upon hearing this, Sain quickly explained:

"Sir, you may have just arrived in Oranck, thus unfamiliar with certain matters of Oranck.

Those deceased children were child laborers responsible for cleaning chimneys in Oranck.

Due to the narrowness of the chimneys which adults cannot enter, only petite children are chosen for cleaning, often starting this work as early as age two."

"But this job is quite dangerous; falling from the more than ten-meter-high chimney often results in inevitable death.

Additionally, cleaning the chimney results in inhaling large amounts of coal ash, significantly shortening the lives of these child laborers, who usually don't live beyond six years.

Some of these child workers can still have their bodies claimed by relatives after death; however, another portion that was trafficked has nobody to claim them, and our Black Robe Gang voluntarily helps gather their corpses and bury them collectively.

Anyway, as long as they don't send them to the church's cemetery, it costs little over a month.

Listening to Sain's answer, Lu Yan finally showed some surprise.

He took a deep look at Sain, whose face resembled a ferocious wolf's, yet couldn't help feeling sentimental.

Clearly a werewolf, it managed to dismiss its bloodthirsty instincts, retaining a human heart.

Conversely, more humans were engaged in deeds worse than beasts during this chaotic era.

With no intention to kill Sain anymore in his heart, Lu Yan softly spoke:

"Get up!"

Sain breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly standing, the exterior of a transformed werewolf gradually dissipating, revealing a tall and strong human form.

This legendary gang leader of the industrial district measured about two meters in height, with a square face that wasn't fearsome, even somewhat resembling a knight from storybook poetry.

Having successfully escaped a calamity, Sain bowed and began:

"Thank you, Sir!"

"You should thank yourself!"

If not for Sain's real semblance of humanity, Lu Yan would have killed him without hesitation.

Sain's expression turned serious, humbly inquiring:

"Sir, if there are any orders, just say the word, the entire Black Robe Gang will try its utmost to help you complete the task!"

"It's not any big matter."

Lu Yan waved his hand, exhibiting a casual demeanor.

Seeing this, Sain relaxed, yet heard Lu Yan continue:

"I am preparing to establish a Church, are you interested in joining?"
