Chapter 1004: Chapter 465: Analyzing the Method to Cleanse Chaos, Old Friend Bennett (’Update Without Killing’ Leader’s Additional Chapter)_3

From this, it could be seen that the person most likely to have burned the painting was Rona.

[The painting seemed to have lost its usefulness. You looked around and noticed a letter placed on a desk nearby.]

[The letter was sealed with fire wax, and you were very familiar with the seal, which was left by the "Polar Star Association’s wax seal" you gave to Rona.]

[You opened the letter and browsed the elegant handwriting...]

[...]

[Messenger of the True God, after you feigned death and left, the High Priest of the Stars uncovered your true identity and used secret magic to communicate with the Star Gods, summoning them to act.]

[It killed the ’High Priest of the Stars’ at the first opportunity, but it was still too late to prevent the Star Gods from descending.]

[Fortunately, although the descending Star God was powerful, it still had the ability to escape and protect itself.]

[Before fleeing, it casually destroyed the entire headquarters of the Polar Star Association...]

[After escaping from the headquarters of the Polar Star Association, the Star God dared not descend into Imperial City to continue its pursuit, so it managed to save its life.]

[Perhaps frequent use of power and authority made it faintly aware of the progressively intensifying and accelerating encroachment of Chaos.]

[It waited here for a day, but when it saw no sign of you returning safely, it decided to set out to find another old friend capable of synthesizing eyeballs for you and performing transplant surgery.]

[That person was your old friend, the doctor from the transplant clinic in Sofia — Bennett.]

[Are you surprised that such a humble transplant doctor could possess such great abilities?]

[Well, since it is idle while waiting for your return, it will explain everything in the letter...]

[Compared to its mediocre talents, Bennett’s talent in synthesis and transplant skills was exceptionally outstanding. No, it should be said that Bennett is a true genius.]

[In the early days when it first arrived in Imperial City, its mediocre talents went unnoticed among the thousands of scholars, while Bennett stepped onto Imperial City’s grand stage and truly exhibited his extraordinary talent.]

[Bennett, with his outstanding talent, entered the best ’Josephka Medical College’ in Imperial City to further his studies and soon shone brightly, attracting the favor of the old dean, who took him under his wing.]

[Bennett quickly became the old dean’s most proud student, and upon learning of Rona’s dire situation, Bennett actually funded her to study those extremely expensive courses.]

[Bennett was the type who regarded money as more valuable than life itself and was inherently stingy towards everyone except for Rona, for whom he willingly paid out of pocket and even broke the medical college’s rules to take on some private jobs to fund her.]

[I must tell you that during her most difficult scholarly period, it was only through Bennett’s ’stingy’ funding that she was able to persevere.]

[She was very aware that all this was because she and Bennett had once been companions of the ’Messenger of the True God’.]

[It is hard to imagine that someone so stingy and miserly could become generous because of you.]

[Later, when the old dean of the medical college passed away, he appointed Bennett as his successor, inheriting the revered position of dean.]

[This will caused dissatisfaction among the old dean’s other students, who together forced Bennett out of the medical college...]

[Bennett used his limited savings to fund Rona while simultaneously opening a private clinic.]

[The business of the private clinic did not flourish despite Bennett’s excellent skills because the old dean’s students were unwilling to let him go unchallenged.]

[They sent people to smash his clinic and undercut his orders by offering lower prices, making it impossible for Bennett’s small private clinic to compete with the large and institutional medical college...]

[That period must have been the most destitute for both her and Bennett; she was stagnant in her academic pursuits and could not see a way forward.]

[Bennett’s private clinic also struggled to receive surgery orders due to the medical college’s targeting and had to shut down.]

[Even so, Bennett never interrupted his funding for her. Since the advanced courses at the Knowledge School were extremely costly, Bennett had to take on some disreputable surgeries on the black market that regular doctors would refuse to perform.]

[Although Bennett loved possessions, he knew he had always maintained enough respect and love for the job of a transplant doctor; if not, the old dean would not have seen the potential in him and appointed him as the next dean.]

[Seeing Bennett go against his principles to take on those disreputable surgeries, she refused Bennett’s funding.]

[It wasn’t that it wanted to give up its studies, but that by continuing to burden Bennett, it could see no hope for tomorrow...]

[Its mediocrity was an unchangeable fact; there was no need to make Bennett suffer its sorrows any longer.]

[Upon learning of its decision, Bennett, quite unusually, got angry and spoke solemnly, stating that once they had all been companions of the True God’s emissaries, destined to become celebrities across the world.]

[After the departure of the True God’s emissaries, they had come to the larger stage of Imperial Capital Saint Etienne and had become obscure, nameless pawns.]

[They all believed that, under the arrangement of the Almighty True Knowledge, they would sooner or later meet the True God’s emissaries again.]

[But if they were to give up their efforts now and truly become insignificant, nameless pawns, in what manner should they face the reunion with the True God’s emissaries in the future?]

[Bennett firmly believed that he was once a companion to the True God’s emissaries, and that he still is, and that he certainly would be in the future!]

[If you, Rona, do not think likewise, then he would, as you wish, interrupt the funding. But you should think it over and ask yourself, are you willing to become an insignificant, nameless pawn, willing to give up the opportunity to fight alongside the True God’s emissaries again?]

[...]

[Following that conversation, it made up its mind that, no matter what the future held, it should not give up at this moment.]

[That very night, it received a trace of "Omniscient Authority" in its dreams.]

[Thereafter, it became one of the most promising and celebrated scholars in the Imperial City.]

[After obtaining enough power, it eliminated those past hindrances that had obstructed them, helping Bennett reclaim his position as the dean of the medical school.]

[With its support, Bennett not only reclaimed the position of dean but also led the medical school to flourish many times more than under the old dean.]

[After everything was going smoothly, Bennett devoted himself to his studies, fully displaying his talent and even advancing the technique of eyeball transplantation to unprecedented heights...]

[Sometimes it wondered if Bennett too had received a trace of "Omniscient Authority" in his dreams, only that the authority granted was not in magic power but in related skills of eyeball transplantation.]

[Everything seemed to be developing beautifully, until... it betrayed the Knowledge School to join the Polar Star Association in pursuit of the Gods’ power.]

[Everyone knew that it was supporting Bennett. Following its defection to the Polar Star Association, Bennett too was significantly affected.]

[However, the high-ranking officials of the Polyvision School knew clearly that Bennett was not a star-chasing oathbreaker. A living, top-tier transplant doctor was much more useful than a dead star heretic.]

[The School detained Bennett, compelling him to serve the School by conducting some secret transplant experiments that could not be made public.]

[It investigated secretly and found that Bennett was still quite comfortable now, safer even than staying in the medical school, except for having no personal freedom...]

[Once everything settles down, if Bennett was willing to join the School’s laboratory, his movement restrictions could be removed...]

[...]

[Now Bennett was detained at the headquarters of the Polyvision School. Instead of just sitting here waiting for your return, it might as well go to the Polyvision School to pave the way for you.]

[After all, it didn’t know how much longer it could live. Creating more value in its limited lifetime, was that not meaningful?]

[...]

[Besides the letter, there was also a neatly folded Travel Map...]

[You have obtained the "Travel Map of the Imperial City Polyvision School Association" (map)!]
