Chapter 114: Arrest
The door of Yege Bar was opened and a dusty man walked in. Hungry and thirsty, he walked to the counter of the bar, sat down, and said to the bartender.
"Give me a glass of water and a sausage roll."
"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment."
Following the newcomer's words, the waiter went to prepare the food. At this time, on the other side of the bar, Greg had finished his last cigarette and his last glass of wine. After leaving the money on the counter, he stood up and left, walking towards the exit. During the walk, he passed by the new guest sitting at the bar.
Greg walked to the door of the bar, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and then went home as usual. Suddenly, a clear and loud sound came from behind him.
Greg turned his head and saw that a customer in front of the bar accidentally broke the wine glass in his hand, and the wine in the glass splashed onto another customer. The square-faced customer with stubble was cursing the other person fiercely.
"What's going on! Boy, you want to die, don't you?
"Ahaha, sorry sir, I will compensate you for getting your clothes wet. Can I pay for your meal?"
As he said this, the reckless guest asked the waiter to pay, and Greg, who witnessed this scene, turned around and prepared to leave without thinking too much.
At this moment, his expression paused and his whole body froze in place, as if he suddenly realized something.
Gregor, who was standing at the door, slowly turned his head and looked at the man who was wiping his wet clothes in front of the bar. His expression became solemn. After staring at the man's face for several seconds, he pushed the door open and walked out without saying a word.
Inside the bar, Godfrey calmed down the anger that was splashed on his body, wolfed down the food that was served, drank the water, then left his seat and walked out of the bar while thinking about what to do next.
Thinking about this, Godfrey walked to the door of the bar, opened it and walked out.
Just as Godfrey stepped out of the door, a brick that had been prepared in advance came towards him and hit him hard on the forehead. The whole brick was broken into pieces. Godfrey's head was stunned for a moment, and he fell to the side due to the force of the blow and fell to the ground.
“Ahh…ha…”
With his mouth and eyes wide open and his head a little dizzy, Godfrey looked at the direction where the brick had just hit him. Then he saw a young man in his twenties in casual clothes standing at the door of the bar. His arms were full of brick fragments and his left hand was holding a heavy steel pipe. His expression was full of indifference, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in this indifference.
"Thank you, Holy Son, for sending you to me..."
Staring at the familiar figure in front of him, Gregor murmured silently. Looking at the murderous young man in front of him, Godfrey felt something was wrong, and then he immediately stood up, turned around, and ran away from the young man.
Although he didn't know where he had offended his enemy, he was obviously not fit for fighting at this moment, so he had to run away quickly.
Looking at Godfrey who was trying hard to escape, Gregor clenched the heavy steel pipe in his hand and chased after him slowly. Being familiar with the terrain here, he knew that the person like Godfrey just escaped from would not be able to escape.
Gregor quickly caught up with Godfrey who had escaped first. At this time, he was trapped at the end of a place. The direction he fled was a dead end from the beginning.
With his back to the high wall at the end of the alley, Godfrey stared at Gregor who was gradually approaching him, panting, and spoke.
"Hey... sir, there must be some misunderstanding between us."
"There is no misunderstanding between us."
After Gregor finished speaking, he walked forward with a steel pipe and greeted Godfrey. Godfrey wanted to dodge but Gregor was much faster than him. Almost all of his attacks hit him. The heavy steel pipe kept hitting his hardened skin, making crisp and loud clanging sounds that echoed in the alley.
Facing Gregor's attack, Godfrey, who had been passively beaten, wanted to fight back but could not reach the opponent at all. With the flexibility and speed of the Shadow Clown, in a one-on-one situation, even the Hungry Clown with super physical strength could only be toyed with.
Although Godfrey, a bone mage, is of the black level, one level higher than Gregor, he has extremely strong defense but no obvious physical bonus. It is completely impossible for him to catch Gregor in close combat. Without bone tools and ghosts, he cannot be Gregor's opponent.
"At this speed, is it the Shadow Hunter? Damn it! If the bone tools were not gone, I would have chopped you to pieces long ago!"
As he was constantly beaten, Godfrey thought inwardly that for many extraordinary people of "Stone", 80% of their strength came from the equipment and structures they made, but all his equipment had been stripped away by Dorothy before.
Back in the Knight Road, Godfrey could easily play with Greg's team with the Bone Blade and the Ghost. If Dorothy hadn't intervened, it would not be a problem for him to destroy Greg's entire team alone. After all, he was a Black Earth Rank. But after losing the Ghost and the Bone Blade, he could only be beaten up by Greg unilaterally.
The skin of the black-level "stone" is hard enough to block bullets. Gregor's steel pipe naturally cannot cause any effective damage. However, Gregor also discovered that although he could not break the opponent's skin, the shock caused by the blunt weapon could still be reflected in the tissue behind the opponent's hard skin. This may have no effect on other parts, but it is different for the head.
Although Gregor's powerful blunt force blow only caused slight damage to Godfrey's scalp, the shock of the blow was still able to affect the brain tissue after being transmitted to the brain.
After many attempts, Gregor quickly found the best attack position. Facing Godfrey's head, Gregor held the stick with both hands and hit the same place many times. Amid Godfrey's begging and screaming, he knocked him to the ground and made him unconscious.
In the alley, Gregor gasped as he watched the man fall to the ground and faint again. After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, he began to search for ropes around him, preparing to tie him up and take him back to the police station.
…
At this moment, above the alley, on the roof of a house, a crow was standing there, ignoring the situation in front of it. In a cafe one kilometer away, Dorothy was silently savoring the coffee in her hand in a private room.
"Well done, Greg. Catching a Black Rank is a big deal for you."
While drinking coffee, Dorothy murmured, yes, as for her prisoner, the bone division, her approach was to let Gregor catch him and give her brother a piece of honor.
Since that guy is of no use to me, I might as well give Greg a hand. When he was on Knight Road, this bone master who controlled the bone blade caused a lot of losses to the hunter team. The Security Bureau must want to catch him.
After all, Gregor is his only relative in this world, so it is natural for him to take care of him a little.
There was a time when Dorothy followed Greg for a while in order to confirm the location of the Security Bureau. Knowing that he liked to come to this bar to drink, Dorothy used the corpse doll to place the unconscious Godfrey nearby and wake him up at the right time.
After that, Dorothy had arranged enough puppets disguised as corpses of civilians around there, preparing to secretly guide the two to meet through various tricks. For example, the guest who rashly broke the wine glass and spilled it on Godfrey was Dorothy's puppet. His purpose in doing so was to make Greg, who was about to leave, notice the existence of Godfrey, and there were many similar arrangements like this.
Dorothy was not too worried about whether Godfrey would confess any information to the Security Bureau that was unfavorable to her. When she and Vanya fought with Godfrey, they were both disguised, and Godfrey did not see anything. As for Aldridge's situation, the director of the Security Bureau must know something more or less.
Dorothy had already paid Aldridge 50 pounds for his help. If the Security Bureau had Godfrey's confession, and Aldridge asked about the origins of the two women who defeated Godfrey that day, Aldridge would say that they were helpers he had hired from outside Egwinter in a private capacity.
"I don't know...what kind of reward Greg can get this time?" Dorothy said thoughtfully while drinking coffee while looking at the street view outside the window.
