Chapter 148: Black eats black
Dorothy sat in a carriage on the dim street, analyzing and thinking about the information she got from the hotel in the distance.
'According to the intelligence, it can be analyzed that these guys are not extraordinary people from Igwinter, but came from other places. Their purpose is to follow the order of a man named 'Deer Skull' and come to this city to find his archenemy. The characteristic of this archenemy is that he is a master of 'Stone' and practices the way of 'Spirit Sculpture'.
'They gathered intelligence in this city and learned that Anna suddenly woke up from the influence of the 'Cup' poison, so they thought that Anna might be involved with the 'Stone' Beyonder, so they came to find her, and that's how they ran into me, which led to the battle just now.
'Although they hit a wall with Anna, they made a breakthrough in another investigation route. Starting with the supply of stone, they locked the target location on St. Amanda's School. Needless to say, the target, the enemy called Deer Skull, must be Aldridge.
"Heh... I didn't expect that the guy who claimed to be absolutely neutral would have enemies..."
Dorothy thought about this and had almost figured out the purpose and motives of these uninvited guests who suddenly came to Igwinter, as well as why they had accidentally attracted Anna's attention. The next step was how to deal with them.
'Reported to the Security Bureau again? No, that won't work. The guy I fought with before was a Black Rank. He and the other guy inside showed almost the same status when they talked to each other, so the other guy might also be a Black Rank.
'If I hadn't secretly made a move, this black rank would have almost wiped out Greg's team, what would happen if the two were combined! Greg's team is now seriously injured and their combat effectiveness has declined. Now even if they gather all the forces of the Igwinter Security Bureau to fight these two people, it may be difficult. Although they can win, they cannot guarantee to kill them, and they may also suffer great losses themselves.'
Dorothy thought so and she would not call the police every time something happened. The Igwinter Security Bureau was already a little overwhelmed by the power these two people possessed. Even if they could win, it would be difficult to capture and kill them.
"So, now it seems that the only thing I can do is to go find the principal."
Dorothy thought that the fact that two black ranks could act as scouts to find people proved that the organization that was hostile to Aldrich possessed a powerful strength far beyond the Red Sacrament Society. And the fact that he was targeted by such an organization was enough to prove that Aldrich himself was extraordinary.
Having made up her mind, Dorothy prepared to go find Aldridge, but she did not do so immediately because she had other things to do.
"However, before going to him, I can still make some extra money and replenish my weapons."
As she murmured this, Dorothy looked toward the east.
…
Flooded docks east of Igwynt at night.
In this illegally built smuggling dock, the evening breeze blows, and the dense bullet holes on the unfinished buildings in the warehouse area are still clearly visible, recording the battles that once took place here.
At a dilapidated wooden pier, a rusty ferry was docked, floating up and down in the water. At the edge of the pier, under the dim lights, a dozen figures were standing there, one of them was Harud.
Harud, dressed in a suit and a top hat, was smoking a cigarette surrounded by his men, waiting anxiously for the gangsters he hired to complete their mission and come back.
"It's already so late and those guys haven't arrived yet. Will it take so long for so many people to take out one little kid?"
Standing under the yellow light, Harud, who was standing between two bodyguards, said impatiently that he already had some opinions about the gangsters he hired.
"Hmph... drag it on... Just drag it on... The longer you can live, the longer you'll all be alive. Once you're all on board, no one will be able to escape..." As he thought to himself, Harud looked at the ferry floating on the water. He had already loaded explosives inside it, waiting to blow the entire ship and the people on board up into the sky.
In order to get rid of Anna, Harud and other contenders for Viscount Field's inheritance teamed up to hire a killer, preparing to hire gangsters from Igwinter to kill Anna.
Harud promised these gangsters that after the task was completed, they only needed to come to the flooded dock to get the first payment. Then, in order to avoid the police, Harud also provided them with a ferry to help them escape from Igwinter overnight through the Iron Mud River. At the destination, Harud would pay them the second payment.
In fact, Harud would not let these people live to serve as a handle for him in the future. He had already installed explosives on the boat and set up a simple mechanical timed ignition device. After the group of people got on the boat, he would start the timer. When the boat reached the middle of the river, the explosives would explode. In this way, Harud would not only be free from future troubles, but also would not have to pay the next reward.
Harold lived in the town of Crashing Rock in Igwyn County. Mining was the main industry there, and Harold operated two mines there. Due to the need for mining, he often had to deal with explosives. The explosives loaded in the ship now were obtained through his own channels, which were not easy to get in Igwyn, and were enough to blow up the ship and all the people on it.
Now, all Harud had to do was wait, wait for that group of people with blood on their hands to come to him as agreed, and then eat them up.
"Mr. Harud! They are here, but the weird thing is, there is only one?"
At this time, the sentry in the distance ran over and said to Harud. Harud was slightly stunned after hearing his words, and then said.
"Only one person came? What's going on?"
"I don't know. He said their operation seemed to have failed. The target's bodyguards were very strong, and he was the only one who escaped!"
"An unexpected enemy... How can a kid who hasn't inherited the inheritance be protected by anyone? How could so many people fail? Call him over quickly!"
Harud said angrily after listening to his men's words, and then his men walked away and brought a figure over.
It was a thin man with short clothes, sturdy limbs and dark skin. Harud recognized him. He was one of the gangsters he hired and was said to be a famous thief in the downtown area.
"What happened! Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Is that brat dead or alive now?!"
Looking at the thief who came to him, Harud said with saliva spitting, and the thief was also trembling with fear.
answer.
"I'm sorry, sir. We met a group of very powerful guys. We are no match for them at all. They all have guns! Real guns! Guns that are more powerful than those of the police! Oh... Holy Son, I have never seen so many guns in my life. All of us..."
In front of Harud, the thief was describing the situation vividly, and Harud was listening carefully. Suddenly, the thief's expression froze, and he took out a small knife from his waist. He stabbed forward with lightning speed and inserted it into Harud's throat. Harud opened his eyes wide, covered his neck, and fell down with a weird sound.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing this scene, the two bodyguards around Harud were stunned. One of them drew a sword from his waist and prepared to chop the thief.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a burst of gunfire rang out in the space, and the bodyguard who drew his sword had his head pierced by a bullet. In the last moment in front of him, he looked in the direction where the gunfire was heard, and saw that Harud, who should have fallen, stood up straight, pointing the pistol on his waist at himself indifferently, with light smoke coming out of the black hole of the gun muzzle.
Seeing his companion being killed by his boss, another bodyguard spoke in astonishment.
"Sir Harud, how could you... Wow!"
The bodyguard who was watching Harud hadn't finished speaking when he felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw a sharp blade stuck in his chest. The bearer of the sharp blade was the bodyguard who had just been shot and killed.
And as he was about to fall, he was able to stand firm under the control of some force, drew his weapon, and together with his companions who were also puppets, killed Harud's other men and his other companions.
The entire Harud team was like dominoes, being knocked down rapidly by the chain reaction of a series of killings among their companions.
Dorothy, who pushed the domino, was sitting silently in a carriage far away, watching the bloody scene through the perspective of the corpse doll.
