Chapter 10 Tracking
In the lower city of Igwynt, far away from the prosperous areas, in the dirty and messy alleys where countless lower-class people in the city live, two figures in ordinary clothes and masks are lurking at the entrance of a dark alley. They are secretly observing the situation in the alley through the corner of the wall.
There, they saw the target they had been following all the way. A little girl in a black cloak stood deep in the alley, holding up a box as if inviting. In front of her was a tall, thin man dressed in an elegant gentleman's outfit with a pale face.
"As expected... that little girl was instructed to hold a secret meeting. The person who instructed her wanted to sell the club's items without revealing her identity!"
Peeping at the scene in front of them, the two men thought to themselves and sneered in their hearts at the same time.
"Hmph, you are cautious, but you are still too naive. You don't understand the influence of the club, Igwent. How could the club members not participate in the gathering at Gray Hill? Now I have caught you by the tail..."
As they thought so in their hearts, the two men's lips curled up slightly. They continued to peek, only to see the little girl holding the box speak again.
"First of all! The subsequent payment you promised!"
When the little girl finished speaking, the pale gentleman smiled, then touched the girl's head lovingly, took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to the girl, then took the box.
"Thank you, kind sir! May the Virgin Mary bless you!"
After excitedly taking the banknotes, the girl excitedly bowed deeply to the gentleman in front of her. After giving her sincere blessings, she ran away happily. Then the gentleman holding the box walked away in another direction without saying a word.
Seeing this, the two hiding men looked at each other and then hurriedly followed.
Continuing to hide all the way, the two men continued to follow the gentleman holding the box. At this time, they all had a clear goal, which was to track down the mysterious man who dared to sell the society's items, find his hiding place, try to find out the information and report it to the society, then wait for the society to take action, capture the target, torture the other party about the source of the items in his hand, and finally pay a heavy price.
Those who provide key information will also be able to accumulate merits and receive generous rewards from the society.
Just like that, under the temptation of Xun, the two men continued to follow the gentleman in front of them, but what they didn't realize was that at this time there was a pair of eyes above them overlooking the earth.
The gentleman holding the cane walked slowly and leisurely, his steps neither hurried nor slow, as if he was taking a leisurely walk after dinner. Sometimes he stopped with his cane to look up, and sometimes he gave alms to the beggars around him. Although he was in a dirty and messy alley, his behavior was still graceful.
Like a true gentleman.
However, the gentleman's leisurely attitude also made the two men who followed behind him feel anxious, and they hoped that the target they were tracking would run to the base immediately.
Although the gentleman's steps were slow, he still moved forward. Gradually, he walked out of the alley and came to the normal busy street. The pursuer behind him also followed all the way because they could track him better on this street.
After tracking for a while, the two men discovered that the gentleman in front of them had actually come to the riverside square, where many citizens of all kinds were taking a walk and enjoying the cool river breeze. It was a rare day when the upstream factories were not in operation, and there was no pungent industrial exhaust gas in the river breeze.
Among the citizens walking, the two men were better hidden. They approached the gentleman they were tracking in the crowd. At this time, they found that the gentleman was standing by the guardrail on the river bank, staring at the river with ferries coming and going in front of him, motionless.
"This guy... still wants to enjoy the river view here?"
Seeing this scene, the pursuers hidden in the crowd couldn't help but think anxiously in their hearts. Just as they were thinking about how long the other party would waste here, the gentleman suddenly came to his senses.
Turning around, Edric looked at the crowd in front of him, a smile forming on his lips.
Then, he took off his hat with his left hand and placed it in front of his chest, held the cane in his left hand and put it behind his back, leaned forward and bowed, performing a standard gentleman's salute to the crowd and to the pursuer who had been hiding among them.
Then, Edric stood up straight, still smiling, and spread his arms, then leaned back and fell into the river behind him.
Seeing this scene, the two pursuers were shocked, then rushed out of the crowd and hurried to the river bank to look down. However, they could only see the rushing river water rushing forward, without any human figure.
Seeing this, the two men looked at each other, and then both felt that something was wrong.
"We must report this to the society immediately..."
After nodding to each other, the two men set off immediately, ignoring the citizens around them who had also witnessed the scene and were screaming, and blended into the crowd again.
The two men walked very quickly through the downtown area. After walking two blocks, they turned into an alley together. After walking forward all the way, they stopped in front of a mahogany door with steps.
Afterwards, the two men began to knock on the door in an orderly manner, and then said a few secret codes. Finally, the door opened and they all entered together.
However, on the rooftop opposite the wooden door, a pitch-black crow was standing on the railing at the edge of the rooftop, silently looking down and recording the scene that had just been sent.
It never left the man's head from beginning to end, and the man's actions were always in his eyes.
On the busy street not far away, on the upper floor of a cafe, a white-haired girl who had just sat down, wearing a white top and a gray skirt, was simply dressed. She took the coffee brought by the waiter and said thank you gently.
After adding eight pieces of sugar to the hot coffee in front of her, Dorothy took out a spoon and slowly stirred it in the cup. After the sugar was completely absorbed into the coffee, she picked up the steaming coffee, blew gently on it, then took a sip carefully, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.
Then, she put the coffee back on the table, and after recalling the information that her distant eyes had glimpsed, she murmured softly.
"Elmwood West Lane... No. 22?
"I found you guys..."
Dorothy showed the slightest smile. She knew that this anti-tracking operation was over. It was a fruitful day for her.
