,!
A 'lady' wearing a hooded cloak walked through the streets.
Invisible ripples spread out one after another.
The chaos that should have been calmed down became even more chaotic.
Even worse.
Flames and ruins.
Wailing and screaming.
It's like a loudspeaker, amplifying the darkness in some people's hearts countless times.
Greed devours reason.
Or a single person.
Or in groups.
The simplest daily knives in their hands have become the murder weapons at this moment, used to plunder wealth and women that were impossible and unimaginable in the past.
'Miss'?
Nature is also among their hunting targets.
Three burly men covered in blood stopped the 'lady'.
"Hey, there's another good one. I'll go first this time!"
One of them shouted loudly.
Then, he rushed towards the 'lady' impatiently.
Then……
He became a sheep.
The other two accomplices were stunned and subconsciously wanted to run away, but they could not escape the fate of being turned into sheep.
In the dark night.
The white lamb is so conspicuous.
The bleating sound attracted everyone's attention.
A group of people saw three lambs and without hesitation, they raised their butcher knives. Even though the sheep cried more miserably, they did not show any mercy. They either skinned and boned them and put them into an iron pot, or directly gutted them and put them on the barbecue grill.
The fate of the three lambs was decided.
And the person who ate the lamb became even more violent.
Their eyes were red.
They become more powerful.
They also became more cruel and brutal.
"It's an incredible power. Although it's not the first time I've seen it, every time I see it, I'm surprised and in awe."
Skiffens Steinbeck emerges from the shadows.
He stood in front of the 'lady' and bowed slightly.
"Good evening, Madam."
"Good evening."
"You're late."
The 'lady's' voice was slightly cold.
"I can't help it. Who made my brother so clingy?"
"Besides, as an elder brother, you must put your younger brother to sleep before going out. This is the rule of the Steinbeck family."
“I’m a rule-follower.”
Skiffens Steinbeck said with a smile.
"Follow the rules?"
The ‘lady’ smiled in an ambiguous way, and the voice of one of ‘them’ members became even colder: “No matter how law-abiding a person is, he cannot cover up his own failure.”
"You promised to take out the 'bartender' and the 'hunter'."
"Now 'Hunter' is still alive."
Faced with the questioning, Skiffins Steinbeck sighed.
"I don't want to either."
"But we have alerted the enemy."
"After we killed the 'bartender', that guy was alarmed - at the most critical moment, he rescued the 'hunter'. Face him?"
"Neither I nor my brother can do anything about it."
Skiffens Steinbeck said this and sighed again.
And the 'lady' remained silent.
The unique divination allows her to peek into more destinies.
She saw the closeness between the 'hunters' and the 'fishermen'.
as well as……
'Hunter' is different.
Although the light on the surface was a little dim, its essence was becoming more and more powerful, just like a fireplace that had just been filled with firewood. The flames were temporarily suppressed, but then they burned vigorously.
This was something she absolutely did not want to see.
'Bartender' and 'Hunter' must die.
To deal with 'anglers'.
This opportunity was undoubtedly missed.
after?
It will be more difficult.
Thinking of this, the 'lady' looked at Skiffins Steinbeck with murderous intent in her eyes, and Skiffins Steinbeck immediately sensed this murderous intent and raised his hands immediately.
"'Ma'am' I think we can still talk."
"Is it still necessary?"
'Madam' asked back.
Special forces begin to search for Skiffens Steinbeck's 'line of life and death'.
Skiffens Steinbeck felt like a snake was crawling through his body.
Smooth and greasy.
It’s ice cold.
It's a bit disgusting, and even makes the hair on the ground stand on end.
But Skiffins Steinbeck showed no sign of anything unusual; he just continued speaking.
"Of course."
"Just like before, 'Hunter' also talked to me."
The 'lady' was stunned.
"What did you talk about?"
"I paid half of the Steinbeck family's fortune to make him our insider."
Skiffens Steinbeck laughed.
The Steinbeck heir emphasized the word 'we'.
However, the lady was concerned about the first half of the sentence.
Skiffens Steinbeck gave half of the Steinbeck family fortune?
If that's the case, it's enough to bribe the 'Hunter'.
Subconsciously, the 'lady' began to divine.
Divination result: Skiffins Steinbeck did lose half of his fortune.
The coldness disappeared.
The 'lady's' voice also became pleasant.
"Why?"
"Because, in my opinion, half of the Steinbeck family's fortune is nothing compared to you."
"If it weren't for the fact that the remaining half of my property had to be given to my brother, I would be willing to use all of it to help you."
Skiffins Steinbeck spoke with an earnest tone and passion in his eyes, just like a little boy in his first love. He took a step forward, wanting to get closer to the 'lady', but was afraid of scaring the 'lady', so he stopped in what he thought was a gentlemanly manner.
This look made the 'lady' look disdainful.
But it also made her happy.
Even though she knew it was false.
It's the effect of the 'love potion'.
But this didn't stop her from enjoying the feeling.
She divined again.
Skiffens Steinbeck did give half of his fortune to Goethe Wein.
Confirmed.
Things went better than she had imagined.
Then she sprinkled more love powder.
"I appreciate everything you do for me."
"But I have to leave now."
"'Hunter' has become our ally... I think I should help him."
Having said these words, the 'lady' hurried away.
Skiffins Steinbeck watched him go.
His eyes were full of love and reluctance.
When the other person is about to disappear, he bows slightly to see him off.
It was not until two minutes later that Skiffins Steinbeck turned and left.
In the shadows, 'the lady' watched the scene.
Oh.
She chuckled and returned to 'their' temporary station.
Here, the 'Lord' was in the lead, with the 'Lumberjack', 'Pharmacist' and 'Farmer' standing on one side, all four of them staring at the 'Hunter' who had returned earlier.
"'Hunter' are you sure about what you said?"
The 'pharmacist' asked again.
"Sure."
George VI nodded affirmatively.
The palms hidden under the sleeves of his robe were slightly sweaty.
He came according to Skiffens Steinbeck's words, but "they" were not easy to deal with. Even if what he said was true, it still made people extremely suspicious.
Or rather, because it is true.
Only then will you doubt.
They did not believe that Skiffins Steinbeck, a guy who had only escaped from them by luck, had such strength.
"Anyway, the 'lady' will call back with accurate information."
"We just need to wait."
The rough voice of the lumberjack sounded.
The 'pharmacist' hesitated and chose to wait.
He undoubtedly wanted more.
But don't be too impatient.
As for the 'farmer' who seems to have a good relationship with the 'hunter'?
As I said, they seem to have a very good relationship.
The 'farmer' said nothing.
He just looked at the 'Lord', as if he was following his lead.
The temporary base became quiet again.
George VI breathed a sigh of relief.
No problem!
As long as 'the lady' brought back the message.
It will prove that what he said is true.
He, 'Hunter', did not lie.
And at this moment, the 'Lord' suddenly spoke.
"'Hunter', what do you think of the current situation?"
I stood and watched.
Finally, just watch.
Don't involve me.
Now I just want to go back to Tesin.
George VI was secretly complaining in his heart, but on the surface he looked a little serious. He said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good. The 'gentleman' is more cunning than I thought."
"And 'Wolf'..."
“Very strong!”
The 'hunter' and the 'wolf' are not good in 'their' relationship.
One could even say they are enemies.
The two sides reached a truce due to the rules.
But the battle between agents has never stopped.
"What about 'snake'?"
The 'Lord' continued to ask.
This kind of incoherent question made the people present pay more attention.
The 'woodcutter', 'pharmacist', and 'farmer' are not fools.
The 'Lord' who suddenly asked these questions must have a purpose.
What is the purpose?
They don't know.
George VI was no fool.
He knew it as well.
However, he also didn't know what the 'Lord' wanted to do.
I can only tell the truth.
"Snake has always been hiding in the dark. I don't know much about him, but I always feel that the big contrast between the Gentleman and the Snake this time may be related to the Snake."
George VI said honestly.
He really felt that there was something wrong with the 'snake'.
There is no substantial evidence.
Just from intuition.
There are both those belonging to George VI himself and those belonging to the Hunter's body.
"oh?"
"Then are you willing to help me and them?"
The 'Lord' continued to ask.
"willing."
George VI replied immediately.
Decisive and without any hesitation.
"What he said is true."
The lady's voice suddenly sounded, and the figure in the hooded cloak walked out from the shadows: "What he just said, and what he said before, is all true."
Seeing the 'lady' appear, the 'woodcutter', 'pharmacist' and 'farmer' present suddenly realized.
This should be a double test.
'Hunter' passed.
Of course there is no problem.
The 'pharmacist' looked regretful.
He could have gotten more.
The farmer became enthusiastic again, walked up to the hunter, and whispered, "I knew you were fine."
The 'woodcutter' laughed, picked up the wine barrel beside him and drank it in big gulps.
While dealing with the 'farmer', George VI looked at the 'lady'.
Although the other person was wearing a hooded cloak, George VI could sense that the other person was looking at him.
It's not a normal look.
It's the feeling of fun and confidence.
What's going on?
George VI thought.
"We must now find the 'Gentleman' as soon as possible. This time I will act together with the 'Hunter'."
The 'lady' said this.
Naturally, no one objected except George VI.
And George VI's objection?
As long as he wanted to live, he would never really speak.
The two left the temporary base.
Once again, Sack returned to chaos.
"I know about your deal with Skiffens Steinbeck."
The 'lady' suddenly spoke, and George VI, who was relying on the instinct left by the 'hunter's' body to look for clues, was so scared that he almost jumped up.
"What are you talking about 'Ma'am'?"
George VI feigned doubt.
"What did I say?"
"Of course you do."
"Skiffins Steinbeck used half of the Steinbeck family fortune to buy you off."
'Madam' said.
Bribe me?
Shouldn't it be bribing Goethe?
Recalling the contract, George VI suddenly felt something strange in his stomach - with the help of the physical instinct left by the 'Hunter', he clearly saw that there was a ring in his stomach.
It is very similar to Goethe's ring.
when?
George VI was shocked.
This is not in the contract!
Skiffens Steinbeck didn't say that either!
He only knew that his blood bag was hung on the arrow by Skiffins Steinbeck, and took advantage of the hunter's carelessness to penetrate into the hunter's body.
Then, he was 'ripened' using some secret technique.
That's all he knows.
While George VI was thinking, the 'lady' nodded again.
“It is so.”
"Skiffins Steinbeck didn't lie to me."
"He did give you half of the Steinbeck family fortune."
"I can sense the wealth in you."
At this time, the 'lady' completely put aside her doubts.
And when she found that the 'hunter' was looking at her warily, the 'lady' immediately smiled.
"Don't worry."
"I will never lay a hand on your property."
"Likewise, you must do all you can to help me deal with the 'Angler'."
"Now--"
"Let's find the 'gentleman' quickly!"
'Madam' said.
George VI looked down for clues.
But I kept muttering in my heart.
'Angler'!
The target of the 'lords' is the 'anglers' - or to be more precise, 'they' who want to replace the 'anglers' and establish a complete hierarchical system.
Rather than the loose organization we see now.
George VI understood this very well.
When he was resurrected in the body of this 'Hunter', he knew the 'Way' and understood more.
Skiffens Steinbeck did not lie about this.
He did find a good body for him.
Because of this, he knew that if the 'Lord' wanted to make further progress on his path, he had to do this.
So, 'Lord' and 'Angler' are a battle of roads.
The Lord was forbearing before, naturally because he was not strong enough.
Now we must be completely sure.
What about 'Lady'?
What does she want?
Why does it feel more positive than 'Lord'?
What kind of benefits can the 'Lord' give her to make her so active?
George VI had some vague guesses in his heart.
This made his fingers that were fiddling with the ruins tremble slightly, and when he saw the traces hidden under the rubble, he immediately used his voice to cover up the abnormality, and he shouted -
“Found it!”
