At this moment, Staff's surprised look was completely expected by Leo, and it was Sylvia's suggestion to actively expose the relationship between Sylvia and him, because Sylvia's joining could

Adding weight to Leo's body will make the secret organization pay more attention to him. When he shows off his skills in human body modification, this will inevitably lead to the secret organization taking the initiative to contact him earlier.

Of course, this approach is not without its drawbacks. The exposure of the relationship between the two will inevitably affect the role of Sylvia's hidden line. The collection of certain intelligence may be affected, but fortunately this negative effect can still be avoided.

Within the acceptable range, and even if Leo did not take the initiative to reveal this relationship, I believe that with the strength of the secret organization, sooner or later this relationship will be discovered, which will cause some unnecessary suspicion.

At this time, Eric, who was standing aside, looked at Staff with a puzzled expression and asked doubtfully: "Is there anything wrong with Ms. Sylvia? Your Excellency, do you know that lady?"

Eric had met Sylvia. In his eyes, Sylvia was a beautiful lady whose temperament and appearance were so outstanding that words could not describe her. Especially her noble temperament made him feel like he was facing someone.

A royal member of an ancient empire couldn't help but have the thought of bowing his head and surrendering, but he had no idea that Sylvia had another, deeper identity.

"We know each other, that lady is not an ordinary person." While answering Eric's question, Staff also reminded Eric by the way, but he didn't know that his reminder actually caused Eric to get distracted.

.

Eric had previously guessed that Sylvia might be a noblewoman with royal status because of her noble temperament, and Staff had often come into contact with powerful people with unusual status in the past, so Si

Taft's vague reminder actually made him feel that his previous guess about Sylvia's identity was correct, and it also made him feel more and more that Leo was unusual. This unusualness was not due to Leo's knowledge.

Above all, it was about Leo's identity. After all, a common man marrying a royal daughter would only be a fairy tale in a book, and it would never happen in reality.

After being surprised, Staff quickly returned to his role as the host of the banquet. Even though he was full of doubts about Leo and Sylvia, he did not ask any other questions. Instead, he led Leo and Sylvia according to his identity as the host of the banquet.

I met with other important members of the research association and introduced Leo to these people.

Although the relationship between Leo and Sylvia forced Staff to adjust his evaluation of Leo, this did not affect Leo's joining the research association, not to mention that the purpose of this banquet was to get Leo to join the research association.

The meeting was held, and the subsequent ceremony and voting process were just a formality. Everyone present also knew this. If it suddenly said that Leo could not be allowed to join the seminar, it would not only be Eric, the recommender, who would be embarrassed.

, even his reputation as the leader of the faction may be affected.

However, when introducing Leo to these seminar members, Staff was not just introducing Leo, he also vaguely introduced Leo and Sylvia to some special members.

relation.

These people obviously all know the identity of Sylvia’s underground queen, and the person they have been talking about the most recently is Sylvia, because Sylvia has more or less control over the underground intelligence organization in the Port of Cape Opia.

It has affected the interests of these people, but no matter what means they use, they can't get any information about Sylvia. They don't even know Sylvia's appearance, let alone her identity.

The reward for information about Sylvia on the market has reached an astonishing price, but no underground intelligence organization in Cape Guia Port dares to accept the reward, and even if the intelligence organizations from other places accept the reward, they cannot pay it.

They could not provide any useful intelligence information, because without exception, the people they sent to the Port of Cape Opia disappeared without a trace, as if they had disappeared into the sea.

However, now Staff clearly told them an astonishing piece of news related to Sylvia. This underground queen who had been extremely strong since her appearance actually had a husband, and this husband was a man.

A well-known scholar, and this scholar would also become their companion, which made them all a little confused for a while. They didn't recover until Staff led Leo to meet the others.

Only one person quickly recovered from his surprise after hearing Staff say that Leo was Sylvia's husband, and showed strong hostility and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that your wife is here?"

What’s going on in the city?”

Leo looked the other person up and down. Leo already knew about this person before Staff introduced him, and also obtained all the information related to this person from Sylvia.

This man's name is Barnard Eller. He is the president of the Cape Guia Port Fisheries Association and the whip of the Cape Guia People's Party. It can be said that he is one of the leaders of the local forces in Cape Guia. He secretly

He is also one of the important sponsors of the anti-powerful organization, even though he is one of the powerful people himself.

If you just look at Barnard's appearance, most people may think that he is a sailor or fisherman who runs at sea all year round, but in fact, Barnard is the world's top marine biologist, and he is also very famous.

An ocean explorer with a high reputation in academia.

The reason why he showed strong hostility towards Leo was mainly because one of the underground intelligence organizations controlled by Sylvia belonged to him, and he also had a lot of trouble with Sylvia because of this matter.

In the battle, he suffered heavy losses. Not only did he lose more than a dozen of his capable men, but even three of his extraordinary men were captured by Sylvia and brainwashed into becoming Sylvia's people. This incident did not

Not only the loss of personnel, but the greater loss was his reputation. Many people thought that he was dead because of this incident. Some hostile forces also began to make small moves, which made him very anxious recently. Targeting Hill

Via's hostility is naturally not small.

As for Leo and Sylvia paying attention to Barnard, it’s not because of how powerful Barnard is locally. In fact, let alone Barnard’s power, even the accumulation of various forces in the entire Cape West Guia.

If they are together, they will not be noticed by Leo and Sylvia. The reason why they pay attention to this person is entirely because he is one of the few forces with extraordinary beings among the various forces in Cape Cape Port.

.

The entire Old Continent has very strict control over extraordinary people. Basically, as long as extraordinary people are discovered, they will either be eliminated by the church's heretic hunting team, or they will join the church and become a knight of original sin, and can maintain the identity of extraordinary people and wander outside the church.

There are very few people, and Barnard has three such extraordinary men.

In addition, during the fight with Barnard, Sylvia also discovered that although some of Barnard's men did not have extraordinary power, the power they possessed was already different from ordinary people. After all, no matter how ordinary people can,

It is impossible to smash a solid carriage with your body even if you exercise, so Sylvia guessed that these people must have undergone some kind of body modification. For this reason, she specially captured a living person for Leo to study.

However, the results of Leo's research are not what Sylvia thought. These people have not undergone transformation surgery, but their bodies are indeed different from ordinary people. The reason may be related to certain drugs that stimulate bone and muscle growth.

It's related, but this method has huge flaws. People who take the drug will be greatly affected in terms of intelligence and lifespan. In other words, these people are stupid short-lived ghosts.

Although the cause of these people's physical abnormalities is not the transformation surgery that Leo and Sylvia want to see, their physical conditions can also be classified as transformation. Contacting Barnard is also from the Mystery and Human Body Research Society

members, they have every reason to believe that Barnard should be one of the official members of that secret organization.

So Sylvia has arranged some spies around Barnard to monitor Barnard's every move. Even at this party, Leo knew about Barnard in advance before Eric came to inform him.

would be present, so Leo had already been mentally prepared for Barnard's hostility.

"If I remember correctly, Mr. Barnard should be a well-known marine biologist, right?" Faced with the question, Leo acted very calmly and did not answer, but asked instead.

Barnard said coldly: "Do you have any objections to this?"

Leo smiled and said: "Since you are a well-known marine biologist, you should know that the rules of nature are survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and the winner takes all."

Barnard's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We won't know who the winner is until the last moment?"

After saying that, he had no intention of continuing to attend the banquet. He said hello to Staff and walked out of the banquet hall directly.

In this gathering, Leo was naturally the focus of everyone. Even the smallest movement would attract the attention of everyone in the hall, not to mention the conflict with a big shot like Barnard. Many people were interested in Sylvia.

People who don't understand think that the conflict between Leo and Barnard is like an egg hitting a stone, and they will definitely suffer a loss. Only those who know the situation will know that the outcome of the two is unknown, and these people are also considering whether it is possible for both parties to fight against each other.

Get some benefits out of the conflict.

In response to Barnard's violent reaction, Staff humbled Leo as his master, and also asked if he needed to come forward to make peace, showing that he was unwilling to see the relationship between Leo and Barnard.

Contradictory, in fact, he had already anticipated this situation when he decided to reveal Leo's identity to Barnard. This is also what he hopes to see, because in this way, the organizational factions Leo can choose in the future will be

One missing person is also the most threatening to his faction.

Although Staff's little thoughts were well hidden, how could they escape Leo's eyes, and Leo was willing to cooperate with this, because from the very beginning when he decided to submit an article to Staff's magazine, Leo

He chose to use Staff as a springboard to contact the secret organization. Now that Staff is actively wooing him, he will naturally not refuse.

After Barnard's episode, Staff also accelerated his introduction to Leo to everyone present. Soon they walked around in front of everyone in the hall, and then Staff walked to the center of the hall and signaled

Everyone fell silent.

Staff then introduced loudly: "I believe you all have understood the purpose of this gathering in advance. Our research association will recruit a new member. He has master-level anatomy skills and his understanding of human body structure is as good as anyone else's."

The authoritative Mr. Leo Dodd."

There was a burst of applause in the hall immediately. No matter what these people were thinking, they would not be stingy with some applause at this time.

When the applause started, Leo walked to the middle of the hall, stood next to Staff, and nodded to everyone around him.

Staff went on to say: "We are not those politicians in the parliament. We don't need to make a false speech before voting. I believe everyone present has witnessed Mr. Leo's anatomy performance at the college.

, you should already have an understanding of Mr. Leo's ability and knowledge. You can vote with your own ideas now to decide whether the research association should accept a rare talent like Mr. Leo." After saying that, he turned to Lei again.

Ou asked: "Mr. Leo, do you have anything else to say?"

Leo said calmly: "There's nothing more to say. I just hope it can end as soon as possible. After all, the time it takes to attend such a party is enough for me to complete two dissection experiments. I don't like to waste time on this kind of party."

In meaningless communication.”

Although Leo's words were a bit unpleasant, they were unexpectedly recognized by many scholars present. Their inner thoughts were actually similar to Leo's, so they also had some inexplicable affection for Leo, and even belonged to the same group as Barnard.

There are also some scholars in the faction who are ready to change their minds about causing trouble and vote for Leo.

At Staff's signal, the voting began in an orderly manner. This was not the first time for everyone to vote like this. They all skillfully took their votes from the waiters and walked into the hall.

In a small room, they put their tickets into a locked iron box in the room.

Not long after, everyone had cast their votes. Staff asked the servant to take out the iron box, and then counted the votes in front of everyone.

Perhaps due to routine procedures, Leo's votes soon exceeded half. Staff also signaled the end of the vote and congratulated Leo on joining the Mystery and Human Body Research Society, and everyone else also stepped forward to congratulate him.

Leo said hello, but only a few people left early without saying hello.

After Leo chatted with others for a few words, Staff signaled that others could move freely, and he took Leo to his study room. It seemed that he planned to introduce the Mystery and Human Body Research Society to Leo.
