"Stop him! Stop him now!"
Viscount Harrington's exasperated voice came.
A tall and burly figure appeared directly in front of Chen Lun.
Through the thick scarf and wide-brimmed hat, Chen Lun could only see a pair of cold, dark eyes. Immediately, the tall bodyguard raised his hand and punched.
The air in the area in front seemed to be compressed, and a circle of steam gushed out from the man's elbow. With a hissing sound, the iron fist flew fiercely towards Chen Lun's face.
"interesting."
Chen Lun smiled.
BANG!!
He gently raised one hand and easily caught the iron fist in his palm.
The air currents spread out, and the entire iron room shook for a moment.
"Well!"
When Viscount Harrington saw this scene, an expression of horror appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but let out a strange cry from his throat.
Click!
Crunch——!
Chen Lun squeezed the bodyguard's fist hard, leaving several fingerprints, and then pressed down, breaking his entire forearm in reverse. Then, he raised his leg and kicked the bodyguard in the chest. The latter flew backwards and hit the wall heavily, making a huge dent with a clang.
Chen Lun lowered his eyes and took a look at the broken arm torn off from the bodyguard. Some thick black liquid like motor oil spurted out from the broken end, and countless precise gears and circuits were exposed to his sight.
"It turns out that the Iron Doll is right next to Viscount Harrington... but it's too weak."
A hint of doubt appeared on Chen Lun's face.
The next second, the other leaders of the Black Knife Brotherhood in the room surrounded them with serious expressions, and the "bodyguard" whose arm was torn off also broke free from the wall and returned to the battle.
Viscount Harrington took the opportunity to run out the door.
Woo!!
The bodyguard punched again.
Its wide-brimmed hat fell off during the fight, revealing a shiny metal head with several large rivets embedded in its forehead and temples, making it look extremely ferocious. Its eyes were made of glass, dark and shiny, giving people a cold and terrifying feeling.
Chen Lun arrived first, holding the silver cane and hitting the bodyguard's wrist with it, breaking it with a bang, and then threw several cards at the enemies of the Black Knife Brotherhood.
The sound of hissing continued incessantly, and the card knives this time were even more powerful than before. These low-sequence transcendents had no time to dodge, and were shot through the neck, waist and abdomen by the cards, and some even had their limbs cut off directly.
For a moment, there were wailing and screaming one after another, and they all lost their fighting ability and fell to the ground.
Bang! !
Chen Lun picked up the silver cane and stabbed it straight through the tall bodyguard's chest. Black oil gushed out of the wound, and its struggling movements gradually became slower, like a rusty gear.
A few sparks flew out from his neck and shoulders, and then he became stiff and motionless.
Chen Lun threw out a few more cards with an expressionless face, finishing off the seriously injured Black Knife Brotherhood members on the ground one by one and killing them.
After the kill prompts popped up one after another, he placed his palms on the bodyguard .
[Extraordinary Things - Craftsman Dolls]
Item description: A creature produced by [B-level Monster - Hope Workshop]. It is mostly made of composite metals. It has great strength and amazing defense. It is a rare good helper.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
"It turns out that the iron puppet is called the craftsman puppet, and it is not the weird thing itself, but something created by the weird thing..."
He thought for a moment, put the "lifeless" puppet in front of him into the Blood Poetry Ring, then turned around and chased after Viscount Harrington.
Since the Viscount brought the puppet with him as a bodyguard, he must know where the real opportunity, [B-level monster - Hope Workshop], is.
"The basic attributes of this puppet are completely comparable to those of a Sequence 9 Beyonder, and even surpass them. Moreover, with its iron body, even if two or three [Butchers] besiege it, I'm afraid they won't be able to take it down in a short time..."
Chen Lun was thinking as he hurried on his way.
"I have found an important clue by accident..."
He walked back along the corridor and glanced casually inside as he passed by the window. The restaurant area on the first floor was already in chaos. The gentlemen and ladies who came to attend the auction were running for their lives without any manners, crowding and pushing each other.
Many people fell to the ground and were trampled by those behind them.
Screaming, howling in pain and shouting in anger.
One after another.
The fire started, the host had already run away, some blue vests were trying to put out the fire, totally ignoring the women locked in the cages. If no one cared about them, they would probably be burned or choked to death.
Chen Lun teleported and appeared in front of those men in blue vests.
They were startled at first, then looked up at the newcomer, their expressions filled with awe.
"Boss Duhalu, I'm sorry... I didn't know it would turn out like this. It's all because of that madman. He set the fire on purpose..."
"Shut up!"
Chen Lun used [Ultimate Beauty] to transform himself into a skinny man and shouted angrily.
"Don't worry about this. First move the goods off the ship and place them at the dock... These are all our property!"
"Okay...Okay, Boss."
The men in blue vests immediately nodded in response and went to move the iron cage.
"But the guests are crowded in the passage, and we can't get out for the time being..."
A man in a blue vest hesitated.
At this time, several gunshots were heard, along with continuous screams.
Chen Lun glanced behind him and saw that some gentlemen had completely disregarded their image in order to save their lives. They had quarrels due to pushing and shoving, and directly pulled out their guns and started shooting.
"Whoever dares to block the road will be shot directly."
Chen Lun said coldly.
"Yes, yes! We got it, Boss!"
The men in blue vests were sweating profusely.
For some reason, they felt that the boss at this moment was even more frightening.
Chen Lun turned and left, returned to the corridor, then used the "Air Walk" technique to fly directly out of the freighter, searching across the sea for the whereabouts of Viscount Harrington on the shore.
Dozens or even hundreds of Blue Sail Gang members had already gathered at the dock when they noticed the chaos. In the gangway area, seven or eight gentlemen and ladies were lying on the ground, most of them killed by stray bullets, and a few survived with serious injuries, but were also dying.
Chen Lun had no sympathy for these guys. He just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
He soon spotted Viscount Harrington, but frowned.
'Dead?'
Chen Lun saw the middle-aged man fall down at the dock, not far from the freighter. There was an inconspicuous dent on the back of his head, with blood and brain matter flowing out.
"Killed by a stray bullet in the chaos... How ironic."
He shook his head and landed beside Viscount Harrington's body.
The upper-class people who participated in the treasure hunt fled like refugees. The men in blue vests tried to maintain order but were shot inexplicably. There was chaos all around and no one noticed that the boss behind the treasure hunt was dead.
Chen Lun was just about to use the [Moonlight on Palm] on his left glove to summon the soul of Viscount Harrington and ask him about the [Hope Workshop].
As a result, at this moment, three black shadows rushed out from the shadows and appeared in front of Chen Lun.
"Duhalu, what happened?"
Two men and one woman showed up, and the leading man frowned and asked.
Chen Lun, with a skinny face, slowly raised his head and looked at the three people, with a mist in his eyes.
"The high-ranking assassins of the Black Blade Brotherhood... three Black Blades?"
A polite smile appeared on his face.
"You came just in time."
"Um?"
The faces of the three black knife killers suddenly changed. They sensed an unusual danger emanating from the man in front of them.
"He's not Duhalu!"
"Retreat first..."
The three black knife killers shuddered all over, and their bodies stiffened as if by reflex.
The "Duhalu" in front of them appeared behind them at some point , almost sticking to the back of their heads, and calmly said two words:
"It's too late."
…
…
…
Peacock City Shelter.
The branch here is just an inconspicuous two-story apartment.
"Team Leader! Urgent information!"
An investigator strode to the desk with a letter in his hand and handed it to a middle-aged man. There were also several other men and women present, all of whom were deputy team leaders of the shelter.
Before the investigators arrived, they seemed to be having a meeting and their faces looked serious.
"What's the hurry?"
The man sitting in the leather office chair asked with a frown.
"It was at the East District Port. A major accident occurred on the 'Sea Treasure Hunter'. Twelve high-ranking dignitaries were killed and more than sixty were injured... It seems that someone attacked the auction site, which led to this incident."
"What?!"
Team leader Amos looked shocked and cried out in surprise.
"What force did this?! How will the Black Knife Brotherhood react?"
"Team leader, we don't know which force is responsible for this yet, but... the Black Blade Brotherhood has been almost wiped out..."
The investigator said in a dry voice.
“?!”
The team leader immediately stood up, and the other deputy team leaders also stood up immediately.
They looked shocked and looked at each other.
The Black Knife Brotherhood has three Black Knife assassins in Peacock City, all of whom are mid-sequence transcendents. This is the information recorded by the shelter... and precisely because of this, the shelter ca n't do anything about them, allowing these guys to conspire with Viscount Harrington to engage in human trafficking.
Even without the constraints of the History and Ritual Association, it would be difficult for the shelter to bring them to justice. Now, the news that the Black Knife Brotherhood was almost destroyed made these team leaders and deputy team leaders inexplicably excited.
As for the casualties of those upper-class people, they did not care much, and even felt that these people deserved to die.
"Those bastards are finally dead. What great news!"
A female deputy team leader laughed loudly.
"I've been tolerating them for so long! I haven't even had the mood to eat or sleep during this time!"
"What we need to worry about now is what purpose this strange supernatural force that suddenly appeared has... The Madman School has always remained neutral. They were indifferent every time we asked for help, so it is most likely not them. As for the History and Ritual Association, it is even less likely that they will take action. They would rather see us make a fool of ourselves."
Team leader Amos said in a deep voice.
"Team leader, after investigation and interrogation, it seems that there were no large numbers of strangers attacking the freighter at the time of the incident... Only traces of an intruder and items left behind by this person were found at the scene."
The investigator said, pointing to the envelope in the team leader's hand.
Amos and the other deputy team leaders held their breath.
What does this mean?
One person overthrew the Black Knife Brotherhood and ruined the auction? !
What a joke!
When Amos opened the envelope and saw a small stack of blood-stained playing cards inside, his expression suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something.
He quickly stuffed the cards back into the envelope.
"Hughley, Melken, and Susan... the three of you will lead your teams to confirm the situation, and then send someone to notify the police station to wipe out the Lanfan Gang, and by the way, settle the abducted women."
Amos instructed the others.
The deputy team leaders all agreed, bowed, and left in a hurry.
They all had happy smiles on their faces, and the haze that had been shrouding them for some time was swept away. They only wanted to kill all the remnants of the Black Knife Brotherhood in Peacock City as soon as possible.
When Amos was the only one left in the room.
He slowly sat down on the chair, took out the playing cards from the envelope again, and looked at them carefully one by one.
"Could it be him? The wild supernatural being named 'Jackspeight'..."
In fact, the shelter already knew the news on the second day after the circus moved into Peacock City, but Amos had never contacted this "famous" Mr. Jack.
Amos took out another secret letter from the secret compartment under the cabinet and read it again.
This was sent by his immediate superior, a senior official at the Royal City Shelter Headquarters. The content of the letter basically asked him to keep an eye on a man named "Jackspeight" and report his actions during this period truthfully.
Recently.
The "conservatives" and "radicals" inside the shelter were arguing fiercely, and this person was a major trigger.
Since Rudolf Teka's identity was exposed, Mona's experience has won the sympathy of many conservative leaders. Although she lost her "teacher" as a backer, her personality, talent and ideas have gained the appreciation of more bigwigs.
Mona has become a rising star within the shelter and has even been transferred back to the headquarters in the royal city.
With her recommendation, Jack's name gradually came into the attention of the top leaders and appeared on the list of candidates for the Imperial Inquisition.
However, this list has not yet been implemented due to the strong opposition from the "radicals".
"If he really did it, then he is indeed a strong man worth winning over... I need to organize this information and report it."
A smile appeared on Amos's face.
