Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 224: One Million per Head
The streetlight flickered again, and the spy disappeared into the shadows.
The streets were unusually deserted, with only the cool sea breeze blowing the newspapers discarded during the day onto the ground.
"Ms. Qingkong, why did you choose to assassinate Yunxing tonight? The guards around him are too strong, and if we can't kill him with one strike, he will soon get support from all sides.
I think the best time to assassinate him is when he leaves Nutao City and heads to the Imperial Capital. If we ambush him halfway, even if we can't kill him right away, we can still surround him and kill him."
Grover held the cane in both hands and presented his previously formulated plan for assassinating Meteor.
It's just that tomorrow, Iscolan, Ibel, and Mrs. Michel will push for the reform of the Nutao City Council. When Qingkong's name appears in the upper council, her identity will definitely be questionable.
Therefore, Qingkong decided to carry out the "assassination" tonight to eliminate the last remaining hidden danger in Nutao City.
Since you don't want to live together, there is no need for you to exist.
Clear Sky closed the window and replied to Grover, "What you think of is what Meteorite can think of. The success rate of an ambush when he leaves Raging Waves City is high, but the prerequisite is that we can ambush him.
By land, by air, or even by sea... there are so many ways that meteorites can confuse us. Can you guarantee that your insider can accurately grasp the whereabouts of meteorites?"
Qingkong's question made Grover nod involuntarily.
Only after dealing with Meteorite can you realize how cunning he is. There are too many uncertainties in ambushes on the road, but more spies can be mobilized in the City of Raging Waves to keep an eye on Meteorite.
"The repeated defeats against Meteorite have made it impossible for me to think normally. Fortunately, Miss Qingkong has considered everything. I believe that with Miss Qingkong's strength, even in the City of Raging Waves, she can easily kill Meteorite, which is heavily protected.
Tonight I have mobilized all the people who are still loyal to me. They will do their best to contain the Imperial spies, and the Central City Public Security Bureau will assist...
Tomorrow the city will be back in our hands."
"It's not us... I'm not interested in who owns the Raging Wave City. I just want to kill someone who deserves to be killed."
Grover laughed, "This must be why Miss Clear Sky is so powerful."
…
It was already three o'clock in the morning when Luke came out of the Sisisse Palace. Everyone looked very tired and wanted to return to the Cape area as soon as possible to rest.
Four motorcycles led the way, followed by the Chief Inspector of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Nutao City, who was escorting the convoy. The roar of the steam engine broke the silence of the street, and the convoy moved quickly.
In the Chief Inspector's car, Luke dozed off in the back seat. Pisco drove, and Shelley sat in the passenger seat, alertly observing the situation on both sides of the road.
Pisco yawned, and in order to keep himself awake, he chatted with Shelley: "Big sister, tomorrow I will follow the Chief Inspector to the Imperial Capital. This is my first time there. I heard that the Imperial Capital is full of nobles, and nobles can execute civilians at will. I'm afraid I won't survive more than three days."
"What is there to be afraid of? We are secret agents of the Empire. Most nobles avoid us when they see us. What's more, we are following the Chief Inspector of Meteoric Star, the eldest princess... In short, in the Imperial Capital, we can only offend His Majesty. Other princes and ministers don't have to give them face."
After Shelley's reminder, Pisco thought of his identity as chief inspector and his back immediately straightened.
"Big Sister is right! Our Chief Inspector has been working so hard in Nutao City, just to help Her Royal Highness the Princess sit on the throne. When Her Royal Highness ascends the throne and becomes His Majesty, the Chief Inspector will be the Prince of the Empire.
If we follow the Chief Inspector from the beginning, we will surely all be ennobled in due time."
Hearing Pisco's fantasy, Shelley couldn't help but laugh and said, "First think about how to live to be a noble. Even the road from Raging Waves City to the Imperial Capital is not easy to walk on. Open your eyes wide...
parking!"
Hearing Shelley's warning, Pisco slammed on the brakes. The well-trained imperial spies stopped the car at the same time, then quickly got out of the car to set up a security zone.
Luke was jolted awake by the sudden stop and asked, "What happened?"
Shelley looked at the quiet street and replied, "I just felt uneasy, and now it's even stronger. Chief Inspector, I didn't see any patrol officers along the way... Chief Caesar knew that you were going to the Cicero Palace for a meeting, so he should have stepped up patrols in the central city.
Chief Inspector, this area is extremely dangerous, we must turn around and return to Palazzo Ciccissay."
Pisco asked, "Isn't Director Caesar one of ours?"
"I don't know what happened?" Shelley turned to Luke and said, "But my Medusa bloodline gives me the ability to predict danger. We must retreat now and have the Cape District send someone to pick you up."
Luke smiled and said, "Your ability to predict is very accurate, but the danger is not necessarily directed at us. Get out of the car, there will be a good show tonight, but we are not the protagonists."
"Detective!" Shelley wanted to persuade him again, but Luke had already opened the car door and walked out.
Shelley and Pisco got out of the car immediately, standing on either side of Luke.
At this time, a black carriage drove over from the other end of the street. The bells on the horse's neck jingled, and the sound waves made everyone who heard it feel even more sleepy.
Luke walked to the front, leaning his cane on the ground and looking around.
The imperial spies on alert were all more or less dazed by the sound of the bells.
A dragon roar came from the back of Luke's right hand, and then in a ball of erupting flames, the Taotie flew up and instantly grew larger.
It landed beside Luke, and once again roared with energy. The sound waves spread along the street, and all the imperial spies affected by the mental spell recovered immediately.
The spies drew their knives and pointed them at the carriage ahead.
The carriage stopped in the middle of the road about twenty meters away from Luke.
Then a large number of figures rushed in from behind the carriage. Some thieves lurked in the shadows, causing the surrounding light to flicker as they moved.
Taotie roared again, and the dragon's might formed a fierce wind, which made the people who blocked the road retreat. However, the black horse pulling the carriage was not affected at all and stood quietly in place.
Inside the carriage, Grover said to Clear Sky, "Meteorite is very alert and actually stopped outside our ambush circle. This time we can only storm it!"
"Then let's attack with force. Before killing Meteorite, do you have anything to say to him? If you don't say it now, you will never have the chance again."
Grover estimated the strength of his side.
Qingkong persuaded the chief of the Central City Public Security Bureau, Xi Ze. Tonight, Meteorite could not get any help from the Public Security Bureau, as the Cape District was still far away. Meteorite could only rely on the escort force around him, and could not get any help in the short term.
We have concentrated all our strength on this operation, and our strength is absolutely advantageous.
And because Meteorite did not enter the pre-set ambush circle, those who re-encircled from both wings needed some time to get back in place. In order to lock the new encirclement again, Grover felt it necessary to talk to Meteorite.
See with your own eyes how this old rival died in despair at the moment of his greatest success.
"I'll talk to him and make sure he understands his death."
Grover opened the car door and floated out, with Clear Sky following behind him and jumping out.
The two walked towards Luke.
Seeing Qingkong appear with Grover, all the imperial spies became nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
Shelley stood in front of Luke, took off his blindfold, and used the Eye of Medusa to cast a mind paralysis spell at the two people who were approaching.
However, Grover possessed extremely strong mental power and was immune to this level of mental attacks; Qingkong activated the Ice Crystal Eye and also ignored the attacks from the Eye of Medusa.
Shelley pulled out his gun and pointed it at the newcomers: "Stop... Mr. Grover, Ms. Clear Sky, if you go any further, it will be seen as an attack on the Imperial Secret Service."
Grover and Clear Sky stopped moving forward and looked past Shelley to Luke.
The Taotie guarding Luke let out a low growl, and stretched out its sharp claws to easily pierce the hard stone road.
Luke extended his cane and tapped Shelley's shoulder to ask her to step aside. He then took three steps forward and said to Grover, "Mr. Speaker, it seems that you have invited a very powerful helper. No wonder there has been no news from you in recent days. You must be preparing for this ambush, right?
Make a condition... I don't think it's necessary to make the relationship so bitter."
Grover, who was confident of victory, laughed loudly. "Meteor, I admire your courage and wisdom. You have forced me to use such dishonorable means to deal with you. You have done something that countless people want to do in Raging Waves City but cannot do.
Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate with me now?
How many people in Nutao City truly follow you?
If I kill you, Isklan, Ibel, and Michel will beg me to forgive them tomorrow, and Raging Waves City will soon be restored to its original state. Your roots in this city are too shallow, and you are expanding too fast, and you are using dirty and vulgar means. "
Luke looked to both sides and saw more and more people appearing on the tops of the houses and buildings on both sides of the street. A new encirclement was taking shape.
“Grover, although you brought a lot of people today, the one you can really rely on is Miss Clear Sky.
Miss Clear Sky, I know you are paid to do this. I can give you what Grover can give you, and even more.
You name a price! "
Seeing that Luke wanted to bribe Qingkong, Grover laughed out loud: "Meteor, you underestimate Miss Qingkong. She is now the first candidate for the next dean of Oulu College. Only the safety of Oulu College can impress Miss Qingkong.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too shrewd, trying to use the remains of the Magic Botanical Garden of Oulu College to frame me. But... Miss Qingkong now knows that you did everything, and that you joined the Abyss Temple and obtained the Black Eclipse Spirit from them.
Even if I let you go today, Miss Qingkong will not let you go..."
"Ms. Qingkong, I will give you 10 million Reichsmarks."
Luke makes an offer to Clear Sky.
This made Grover laugh again: "Is this how desperate you look? So pitiful, so disappointing! I thought you would face the dead end generously like a warrior, but I didn't expect you to struggle like a clown..."
Grover's words stopped abruptly at this moment, and he heard Qingkong's answer sounding beside him.
"Ten million is too much... one million is enough for tea money."
"make a deal!"
What’s going on!
Grover realized that something was wrong and tried to cast a spell to escape, but a hand pressed his head to the ground.
Then the extremely cold air enveloped his entire body, and a terrifying energy that he had never felt before suddenly erupted beside him. He could not move his body, and could only use the corner of his eyes to look at the source of this terrifying energy.
It's a clear sky!
Is she... so powerful?
Why did she want to kill me!
At this time, Qingkong pressed Grover's head and pinned him to the ground. The level was pushed to the maximum, and the extremely cold air poured into his brain, freezing his mental power.
Time went back and pulled Grover so that he could not do anything. He held the Canggu Panyan machete high in his right hand. As he fell, holy light burst out from his right arm and gathered on the blade.
The knife fell with a sudden movement.
Just like killing a chicken, Grover's neck was cut off with one knife.
The whole process is completed in the blink of an eye.
When no one knew what was happening, they felt a flash of light, and then Qingkong stood there with a knife in one hand and a head in the other. Grover was left with only a small body lying at Qingkong's feet, with blood flowing through the cracks in the stone road.
What happened?
How could Grover die? And he was killed by his ally Miss Clear Sky.
Died in an extremely insulting way.
The street was extremely quiet. Even Taotie was so frightened by the power that Qingkong had just released that he dared not make any sound.
Clear Sky grabbed Grover's head as if nothing had happened and said to Luke, "Grover's brain has very high research value... It belongs to me, and you can do with his body as you please."
Luke replied in a dramatic way, "Thank you, Miss Clear Sky. Someone will deliver your one million Reichsmarks to you tomorrow."
Qingkong froze Grover's head and threw it into the space backpack.
"That's good. Do you still need me to help you clean up the people here? I can give you a cheaper price."
Everyone who came with Grover was terrified.
The elf Qingkong killed Grover for one million imperial marks. If Inspector Meteorite agreed to give him another million, Qingkong would kill all of his men.
Meteorite said: "These people followed Grover to assassinate the Empire's senior spies. They have committed treason and should be sentenced to death. But if we hire Miss Qingkong to help us eliminate them, it will show that the Fury City Secret Intelligence Bureau is too incompetent.
We can handle these criminals. It's afternoon at Oulu College now, and Miss Qingkong should still have classes, so I won't waste your time."
"Since the Chief Inspector is so stingy, I will take my leave. I look forward to working with you next time..." After saying that, Qingkong opened the portal and entered the subspace where the Oulu College was located.
Clear sky leaves.
Luke took out his Greedy Red Dragon Spear and fired a bright firework into the sky. Then, in all directions of the city, magic fireworks of different colors rose into the sky, lighting up the night sky with brilliant colors.
At this time, the Central City Security Bureau and the Xixi Palace surrounded the people who came with Grover from the outside.
Taotie rushed forward, pushed Luke and threw him onto its back, then spread its wings and flew into the air.
Luke danced with fire from his gun and shouted to the imperial spies below: "Destroy the rebels, and leave no one alive!"
