"Uh..." The corner of Morin's mouth twitched. He had vaguely suspected it before, but now that Catrina had confirmed it, he was sure.
Western culture is very open; this is not an exaggeration.
For someone her age to still be a virgin, she would either have to be unattractive or come from a very privileged background. They are rare, to say the least.
This is why Morin, despite being a seasoned player, hadn't immediately recognized that Catrina was a virgin... his circle of acquaintances rarely provided him with such opportunities.
Catrina's guess was not without merit. Morin really didn't want to be burdened. A one-night stand is not the same as a first time.
The former is a mutual need, while the latter... what if she fell deeply in love? Wouldn't that ruin her life? That would be a huge hassle! While he didn't want to deal with that kind of trouble, Morin also felt a moral obligation.
"You're not wrong," Morin said, raising his glass. "For me, you would be a big problem."
"Then I'm honored." Catrina clinked glasses with Morin and drank it all down.
The next day, in Bradley's office.
"What did you do!" Bradley asked furiously. Having assessed the difference in their physical abilities, he didn't dare to grab Morin's collar and instead stood a meter away, shouting.
"I didn't do anything," Morin said, shrugging.
"I don't believe you!" Bradley scoffed. "You both got out of the same car!"
"So what? Do I look like the kind of person who takes advantage of someone in a vulnerable state?" Morin said, waving his hand.
"Last night your daughter got drunk, and I was the one who took her back to her place!"
"And then what?" Bradley pressed.
"I have to say, compared to a hotel, the bed at Catrina's place is much more comfortable," Morin said with a sigh.
"What the f*ck?" Bradley was stunned. How can you be so shameless?
Even if the deed is done, shouldn't you at least show some respect to me, your future father-in-law?
Wait! This kid is a moocher! He's probably trying to get a free pass!
Bradley's eyes narrowed as he stared at Morin, about to speak.
Catrina, who had been watching, finally couldn't take it anymore.
She came over, pulled Bradley away, and explained everything.
Having annoyed Bradley all night, Catrina's own bit of resentment had almost completely disappeared. Besides, Morin was right; nothing had happened between them last night.
"Alright, let's get back to business." Once Bradley had heard Catrina's explanation and his attitude had changed from furious to skeptical, Morin waved a hand.
"What's the status of us joining the Eye of Providence?"
"Hmph!" Bradley snorted, but he still answered Morin's question seriously. He knew what was more important.
Besides, Bradley thought to himself, even though Morin was a bit of a jerk, he wasn't a terrible match for his adopted daughter. Bradley's concern was that his daughter wouldn't be able to keep Morin around and would get hurt, which is why he had been so against it.
If Morin had been a well-behaved boy, Bradley might have even tried to push Catrina toward him!
"Regarding the Eye of Providence, I called a few of my old friends yesterday," Bradley said. "After using my connections, they all agreed to issue invitations to you. As long as you pass the subsequent trials, you can join the Eye of Providence and gain access to magic."
"What's the price for learning magic?" Morin asked curiously. "Don't tell me you can just learn magic for free just by joining the Eye of Providence."
"Of course not. Do you think the Eye of Providence is a charity?" Bradley said, shaking his head.
"You need contribution points to exchange for the corresponding magic. Contribution points can be earned by paying money or completing tasks."
"Money?" Catrina, who was listening, asked in surprise. "Why?"
"It's normal. Maintaining an organization requires a lot of money, especially a large magic organization that has existed for so long. For example, there are many old-timers who might not know how to earn money. What if they run out of living expenses and are tempted to abuse magic to make a living? Besides living expenses, there are also equipment costs, material costs, housing costs... all of this costs money. Even the Eye of Providence can't operate without money. So, using money to exchange for contribution points is one of the most suitable methods, but I'm guessing... the exchange rate is quite high."
"You're right," Bradley said, looking at Morin in surprise. What Morin had said was pretty much exactly how the Eye of Providence operated!
"The exchange rate is about one dollar for one contribution point, and the most basic magic texts cost hundreds or thousands of contribution points."
"Then... if that's the case, wouldn't many magicians be unable to learn all the magic in their lifetime?" Catrina asked, confused.
"There's a saying: 'A jack of all trades is a master of none.' That's exactly the case here. Most magicians can only learn a few types of magic in their lifetime. And they can only specialize in a few," Morin said.
"Too much is a bad thing."
"Morin is right," Bradley said, nodding. "And there's another point. Money isn't the only way to earn contribution points. You can also get them by completing tasks, which is the fastest way to earn contribution points... but it also comes with a certain amount of danger."
"With danger comes opportunity. If you want to get more, you have to give more..." Morin nodded and changed the subject. "So, what are our trial tasks?"
"There are many, you can choose which one you want," Bradley said, walking over to his desk.
He pulled a long, thin box from a secret compartment, opened it, and took out a parchment scroll. He unrolled it in front of Morin and Catrina. "You can take a look yourselves."
"Let me see." Morin took the parchment. The parchment was not very big, and there wasn't much information on it, just a list of names.
The strange thing was that Morin found that by tapping on the names, he could see some information about the people and what they had done, as well as the requirements of the task.
"They're all wealthy people who have committed illegal financial crimes?" Morin asked after tapping on a few names.
"You're right," Bradley said, nodding. "The Eye of Providence's actions are not involved in politics. We only target wealthy people who have already committed crimes and don't have a political background."
"You bully the weak and fear the strong, huh?" Morin said, teasing him.
"And you think you have the guts to provoke them?" Bradley rolled his eyes.
"If it were really necessary..." Morin chuckled, seeing Bradley's expression change instantly. He didn't bother to explain.
He didn't need Bradley's approval. "Alright, let's stick with these rich guys. Let me think, which one should I choose..."
Finally, Morin settled on a very familiar name, and the name automatically disappeared from the parchment.
"This one," Morin said, a smile on his lips. "Arthur Tressler."
Arthur Tressler's insurance group had a huge amount of money in its accounts!
In Now You See Me, the Four Horsemen, including Daniel, were led by the Hulk... ah, no, by Rhodes, a fake member of the Eye of Providence.
They took action against a wealthy man, using magic to steal his money and distribute it to the audience.
That wealthy man was Arthur Tressler. The Eye of Providence actually knew about this, but they felt that these people had the qualifications to join and were doing what the Eye of Providence wanted to do anyway, so they didn't expose Rhodes.
Later, the Eye of Providence gave them another test, allowing the Four Horsemen and Rhodes to officially join, and the framed Bradley was also cleared.
But that's the plot of Now You See Me 2.
Now, by taking on this task, Morin wanted to take out this boss before Rhodes could cause trouble.
If the main plot boss was gone, what would Rhodes do? How would the protagonists develop afterward? It would be interesting, he thought.
Most importantly, the danger level of this world wasn't very high, and Morin now had the ability to leave this world.
So, even if he subverted, changed, or even completely removed the main plot, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
At least, for Morin, it wouldn't have a big impact.
As for Rhodes and the Four Horsemen, including Daniel... what problem can't be solved with a little communication?
At that time, Morin would compensate them accordingly, for example, by giving them the qualifications to join the Eye of Providence.
The prerequisite was that Morin himself had to be able to join. Of course, Morin never doubted that.
Even if they didn't let him in, he would force his way in!
After completing his tenth performance, Morin's magician profession had leveled up again.
?Magician - Senior (100/10000)

In short, Morin now had the capital to play around, the kind where he could do whatever he wanted in this world!
"Arthur..." Bradley frowned. "He's a very cunning man. His legal team is very powerful. If you choose him as your target, you need to be careful."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Morin said, waving his hand. "Heh, if I want to, I have a hundred ways to make him pay up!"
"That confident?" Bradley was a bit skeptical. "His legal team has helped him win several lawsuits that were basically impossible to win, preventing the insured from getting their compensation!"
"In that case, why don't we just find a more powerful legal team?" Morin said, shrugging.
"What do you mean 'we just find a more powerful legal team'?" Catrina asked curiously. "Is a team like that easy to find?"
"It takes a thief to catch a thief... but before that, I need to join a department and use its power," Morin said, stroking his chin.
"What department?" Catrina asked, wanting to know more.
"That department, I think you must know," Morin said with a smile. "Its full name is the Internal Revenue Service, and its abbreviation is..."
"IRS!"
"What?" x2
Morin's idea was very simple.
His IRS Agent profession wasn't there for show; it had real effects!
With the skill Advanced Tax Law Master and his experience working at the IRS in a previous life, Morin knew that very few companies had no tax issues whatsoever.
This was especially true for a group like Arthur's, which started by scamming a large number of policyholders out of their insurance money.
To say their taxes had no irregularities would be like saying there's no magic in this world!
Morin was familiar with all sorts of tax evasion methods. He also knew exactly how to create fake accounts to avoid paying taxes.
As long as Morin got his hands on the Arthur Insurance Group's ledgers, he was 100% sure he could find something wrong.
At that point, all he had to do was cooperate with the IRS and make a few small adjustments... and he would definitely get the money!
Morin wasn't an IRS agent now, but he could be! With the skill Advanced Tax Law Master and some magic, like hypnosis, to help him along, would Morin be afraid of not being able to join the IRS and become a member?
Now that his Magician profession was at the senior level, it didn't matter which profession he leveled up first. He could choose whichever one he wanted!
Morin made a few minor adjustments to his plans regarding his system and explained them to Bradley and Catrina.
"Are you saying that you once taught yourself all the knowledge an IRS agent needs to know, but you fell in love with magic before you could get your certification, and now you plan to get your certification, apply for a job as an IRS agent, and then go after Arthur?" Bradley was shocked.
This plan was far too complex and the returns didn't seem to match the effort!
"Don't worry," Morin said with a smile. "I know what I'm doing. Besides... the benefits of becoming an IRS member aren't just limited to this. I can easily deal with any other rich person who has assets in the US!"
In short, Morin wanted to use his two professions in tandem to get experience points, regardless of which profession they went to. It was a win-win situation!
"It sounds like it could work..." Catrina thought for a while and asked, "So, how are you going to ensure that the IRS agrees to a deal like this with you?"
Morin looked at Catrina with a smile. "That's where you come in."
"What do you mean?" Catrina was surprised and then realized what he meant. "No, my ability is only to read minds. I don't have the ability to control or hypnotize people, so..."
"I will teach you new magic," Morin interrupted. "The magic of charming people."
