Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 23 Arrangements
"Someone come..."
Before he could even utter a single sound, his mouth was covered by someone!
The officer immediately began to struggle.
A cold voice sounded in his ears: "If I were you, calm down and talk to me properly."
"If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead by now. Don't count on your guards. You know how slow their reactions are. I can kill you... a hundred times before you call them over."
"Now, can I release your mouth?"
Marvin asked jokingly.
The pot-bellied official nodded in a cold sweat.
Snapped!
Marvin knocked out a pure white gem that he had secretly taken out of his pocket. The gem fell to the ground, making a tinkling sound.
"Don't be too smart," Marvin warned. "This is your last chance."
"sit down!"
The official's legs went limp and he sat down on the chair.
Marvin picked up the gem and threw it into his pocket. This is a protective gem produced by the Silver Church, which can stimulate the inner divine light and protect oneself. This official is not a fool, but Marvin's brain is faster.
"Double Blade Mask... is it you?!"
The officer saw Marvin's attire and was immediately surprised: "What do you want to do?"
"Let me discuss a business with you."
Ma Wen sat opposite him as steady as a rock, seemingly not afraid at all that the other party might have any tricks up his sleeve.
In fact, during the brief contact just now, he had checked and found that the official had no other unusual items on his body except this gem.
"What business?" the official's face turned grim.
Snapped!
A small bag was thrown on the table, and inside it were more than a dozen gems. The official calmly took it, opened it, and said calmly, "This little money is nothing to me."
Marvin nodded: "Mr. Milo is a senior official in the city hall, so he naturally doesn't care about this little money."
"But what about this?"
After saying that, he gently placed a cute doll on the right side of the jewelry bag.
Milo's face suddenly became extremely gloomy!
"What have you done to Jenny!"
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
His emotions seem to be out of control!
That doll was the birthday gift he gave to his beloved little daughter, but now it appeared in the hands of the Double-Sword Mask!
The other party’s attitude is very clear, this is kidnapping!
My daughter is in their hands!
"Damn, are those guards all bastards?"
"And that personal bodyguard swore that he had the strength of the peak of the second level and could definitely protect Jenny!"
Milo was about to roar in his heart. If it weren't for the remaining rationality suppressing him, he would have almost fought to the death with the masked guy in front of him!
…
Silence for a minute.
"Calm down?" Marvin said calmly, "So we can continue talking about business?"
"This is kidnapping and threatening, not negotiating business at all," Milo said coldly.
"It doesn't matter. Mr. Milo must have done similar things himself."
Marvin stared into the other person's eyes, and sure enough, the latter showed a strange look.
Being able to work in this position for so many years, how could he not have a few shady deals? He has a stake in one-third of the slave trade in Hetan City! As for kidnapping and murder, it is simply commonplace.
But he didn't expect that someone would set his sights on him.
In fact, it was not the fault of the useless second-level professional he hired, but the two phantom assassins under Marvin were too powerful. They directly captured the opponent and took the little girl away.
Marvin didn't plan to do anything to the little girl, he just wanted to use her as a bargaining chip.
It seems that Milo still values this little daughter very much.
"Well, how much do you want?"
"I heard you're a hired killer? How much is the other party offering? I'll pay double. Give Jenny back to me now."
Milo said quickly.
"Miss Jenny will come home safe and sound."
"The premise is that you can do this."
Marvin gently handed an envelope to the other party.
"I don't want to cause any trouble tonight. If things go well, Miss Jenny will go home tomorrow."
"By the way, since you don't want this bag of jewels, forget it."
After saying that, Marvin took back the bag of jewelry and turned to go out.
A servant walked in from outside in amazement and asked, "Master, that man..."
Milo suppressed his anger: "He is my friend."
After saying this, he waved his hand to send the servant away, opened the letter, and after reading it, his expression changed from gloomy to bright.
Before sunset, in Fortune Plaza, a few scattered people wandered in the shadows.
“They are all new faces.”
A tall knight whispered, "Be careful, nothing can go wrong in the rich area."
The rest of the followers nodded.
The knight is wearing the [Silver Light], which is the identity mark of the special second-level professional [Silver Knight]. As the leader of the patrol team, his sense of smell is very sharp.
There must be something wrong with those dozen or so ordinary-looking civilians gathering here.
The wealthy area is his jurisdiction and he does not allow any problems to occur.
Who knew that at this moment, the sound of ticking horse hooves came from afar.
"Master Fury! A personal order from Master Milo!"
It was a light cavalryman, carrying a warrant from the most powerful man in City Hall.
Fury took the warrant and his face changed drastically: "Is this true?"
The light knight did not answer him, but said stiffly: "This is what Lord Milo meant."
Fury gritted his teeth and actually began to gather all his subordinates to rush to the dock area.
Fury's warrant said that traces of evil cult activities were found in the dock area!
He personally ordered all patrol teams to concentrate on searching the dock area.
We must find out those evil cultists tonight, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!
Compared with the evil cultists, those guys who looked like gang members were nothing. Even if something went wrong, Lord Milo would take care of it.
The patrol roared away.
Some young men at the edge of Fortune Plaza suddenly showed surprised expressions.
"Andre, they actually left the patrol area."
"How is this going?"
They gathered around a particularly tall man, somewhat curiously.
These faces are very young, but they have excellent qualifications. They are the good seedlings personally selected by Anna from the farmers in the White River Valley.
A total of 20 guards supported the daily patrol mission in the White River Valley. However, when faced with hundreds of jackals, they were still unable to resist and could only cover the retreat of the residents under Anna's orders.
"I don't know either. Maybe it was arranged by Miss Anna." Andre scratched his head. "We just need to follow Miss Anna's lead."
"I heard that the Lord was attacked... Who is against us?" A thin boy interrupted, "This is my first time in River Beach City. It's so big. If it weren't for Sander leading me, I might have gotten lost."
"No matter who is behind this attack on our Lord, I will strike back fiercely."
Just at this moment, a pleasant voice sounded behind them.
"what about you?"
Half- elf Anna stepped out from the shadows, her eyes sharp.
Twenty members of the guard team stood up immediately and whispered, "We are willing to follow the footsteps of our Lord and Miss Anna!"
Anna nodded with satisfaction. The loyalty of these guys is beyond doubt. They were all trained in their own territories and have a strong sense of belonging to the White River Valley.
"The Lord has planned everything. He has a way to take back the territory."
Anna said calmly: "But before that, we must take revenge first. After my investigation in River Beach City during this period of time, I found that someone was behind the accidental death of the old lord!"
"What!?"
Andre almost jumped out!
These members of the guard team have a very good relationship with the old lord, and Andre himself is an orphan adopted by the old lord, like his adopted son!
They simply couldn't believe that the kind old lord was murdered!
"Who is it?" the young men from the security team asked impatiently.
At this moment, a hoarse voice came from an alley not far away:
"Miller from the wealthy area."
Everyone looked in the direction the voice came from and saw a shadow standing in the alley.
"Double-blade mask!?" Andre said in horror.
"Tonight, I will lead you to kill the guy who murdered his brother." Marvin said indifferently under the mask:
"Don't worry, your lord has paid you enough. I am on your side."
