On the top floor of the small building, a man with black hair, brown eyes, dark clothes, and about 27 or 28 years old looked down at the arms transaction not far away for a while, and couldn't help but say:

"He's looking for Mesanyes? Oh, storm above, Alfred, if we had known this would happen, we might as well do this task ourselves. Even after deducting various expenses, we can earn at least 20,000 pounds!"

Next to the man was a young man wearing a black windbreaker, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with brilliant blond hair and blue eyes like lakes, and he looked quite good.

Hearing this, the man called Alfred shook his head and said:

"No, that would be too conspicuous. Messanyes's position has always been vague. It would be very dangerous to rashly approach him to discuss an arms deal before we figure out his attitude. Dwayne Dantes was able to earn the 20,000 pounds because he dared to take risks."

The black-haired, brown-eyed man suddenly uttered a “huh”:

"Alfred Hall, who led a few dozen men to attack an army of thousands, actually said that he didn't dare to take the risk!"

Alfred glanced at him and said:

"Pagani, this is not the same thing. That time I was sure I could destroy their headquarters, but once there is no organization, a thousand scattered soldiers may not be as powerful as a thousand pigs.

"In addition, this transaction itself is a test, part of establishing connections and laying the 'pipeline'. If we complete it, who should we turn to next time? What about the next time? If we keep doing this, our identities will be exposed. In that case, diplomacy will become passive. Moreover, as the transaction deepens and expands, it may attract the attention of demigods from certain forces, which will be dangerous at that time."

"Haha." Pagani laughed, "How can a demigod have so much free time to pay attention to such a small-scale arms deal? There are only so many demigods in each faction, and there are too many things waiting for them to do!"

"I know, I was just giving an example." Alfred responded calmly.

Pagani stopped dwelling on this matter and turned his attention to Dwayne Dantès outside the warehouse.

"This gentleman is said to be very generous. Not long after arriving in Backlund, he donated shares worth more than 10,000 pounds to the Church of Evernight. Is this the initial investment you often talk about?

"Also, he seems to work at the same charity foundation as your sister. Tsk, men like him are very popular with young girls. He's good-looking, has an outstanding temperament, is smart, experienced, and has skills. He's seen so many women, but he's at an age where he should settle down. Alfred, you must tell Audrey more often that a playboy will always be a playboy, and that bad character is a shortcoming that can never be corrected in a lifetime. We can't let Backlund's most dazzling gem be stolen by a guy like him."

Alfred turned his head and glared at Pagani:

"I don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Audrey is not a young and ignorant girl. Her understanding of the world is far more mature than you think. Besides, my father and my mother are both in Backlund and have enough ability to prevent some bad things from happening."

Having said that, Alfred looked at the munitions warehouse not far away and paused.

"The person sent by Mesanyes turned out to be Haggis. I'll go and say hello to him."

This isn't a very suitable time to meet... Just as Pagani was about to speak, Alfred turned around and walked down the stairs.

…………

Klein, who had transformed into Dwayne Dantes, did not bring any servants with him. He held a gold-studded cane and stood outside the warehouse with Haggis, the representative of Messanyes, watching boxes of munitions being carried out and put on carriages.

At this moment, he half-turned his body as if he had sensed something and looked to the other side.

What caught his eye was a young man wearing a windbreaker and without a hat. His blond hair was combed back at an angle, and his blue eyes were like a lake under a clear sky. He was tall and well-proportioned, and there was an indescribable sense of majesty in his every move. Even though there were no soldiers around him, he still exuded an air of authority.

"Alfred!" Haggis also noticed this gentleman and shouted with a little surprise.

Alfred... Miss Justice's second brother... This feeling is very similar to that of the Arbitrator path... Klein raised his right hand, took off the hat on his head, and pressed it to his chest as a salute.

After Alfred Hall greeted Haggis, he turned to look at Dwayne Dantès:

"Your character is widely praised in Backlund. Even I, who am in East Balam, have heard of it."

Character? The character of someone who sells arms? Klein muttered to himself and laughed:

“I just did what I thought I should do.”

Alfred nodded:

"I don't think I need to introduce myself? Haggis should have told you about me."

"Yes, Colonel Hall." Klein responded with a smile, "It was only after I came here that I learned that Miss Audrey had a brother who was in the southern continent, serving in the army and making many contributions."

Alfred glanced at Dwayne Dantes's face and changed the subject:

"I originally thought that you would take the opportunity to work at the 'Loen Charity Student Aid Fund', but I didn't expect that you would choose to come to the Southern Continent."

Klein maintained his smile and said:

“For an outsider, it is difficult to truly enter the original circle through donations, charity, banquets and dancing alone.”

Alfred said, “Hmm.”

"Very sensible."

After a few more pleasantries, he asked Haggis:

"What happened in Kukwa City some time ago? It seems to be serious."

Haggis smiled and said:

"I don't know. We all hid under the general's mansion at the time. I only heard later that there was a thunderstorm in the Resurrection Square area."

"Thunderstorm?" Alfred turned his gaze to Dwayne Dantès again.

Klein nodded and said:

"Indeed, the hotel I stayed in was not too far from Resurrection Square, and I saw lightning strike there continuously. All of this happened during the day."

Alfred's gaze shifted to Haggis again:

“What did the final scene look like?”

"Most of the place collapsed and shattered, and there were traces of lightning strikes everywhere." Haggis did not hide anything.

Alfred nodded slightly, pointed to the side, and said to Haggis and Dwayne Dantès:

"I still have some things to do. We can talk about it when we have a chance to meet again."

“See you next time,” Klein responded in his hat, as if he were in a social setting, not outside an arms depot.

He was about to watch Alfred Hall leave when his body moved slightly and his head suddenly tilted to the other side.

…………

In the primitive jungle that can be found everywhere in East and West Balam, a figure with a bent back slowly emerged.

He had a fleshy face, brown skin, loose clothes, a rapier on his waist, and a silver-white mask in his hand.

After looking around, the figure slowly stood up, and it was none other than the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell who had entered the underworld before.

However, at this moment, there were two balls of blood-red flames burning in his eye sockets, which was completely different from before.

"I'm so hungry..." Ludville opened his mouth and let out a sigh that seemed to come from his chest.

He then cast his gaze in a certain direction and said to himself:

“The owner of this secret doll is there, and fate has brought them together again.

"He has an item from the 'Hunter' path, which can be used as a supplement."

Before he finished speaking, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared on Ludwell's left cheek, opening and closing as he spoke:

"Medici, the first thing we need to solve is the problem of existence! After this secret doll completely lost contact with its master, it was truly dead. The remaining soul will soon return to the underworld and will no longer be able to maintain its body. Without the support of the underworld in his body, we will inevitably begin to weaken until we dissipate!"

"Yes, the most important thing right now is to find another 'gatekeeper'." A mouth also appeared on Ludwell's right cheek.

The "Red Angel" Medici suddenly snorted:

"Sauron, Einhorn, were you two women in the past? You have thrown the status of angels into the toilet! That guy was able to resist the arrangements of '008' several times, which shows that he is definitely not a simple person. How can we let him go when we have this opportunity to lock him? Once this secret doll is completely gone, it will not be so easy anymore!

"Besides, the 'Hunter' path items on him can effectively extend our existence time. It won't be too late to find a new 'Gatekeeper' after we deal with him."

The bloody crack on Ludwell's left cheek immediately sneered:

"Medici, have you sacrificed your brain to the 'True Creator'? That guy has obviously been promoted. With our current state, it is not difficult to defeat a 'Weird Mage', but it is almost impossible to kill him!"

Medici was not angry, but laughed softly:

"It's not that there is no solution. As long as you let me chant the name of the Lord, help will come immediately, and maybe even a 'gatekeeper'."

The mouth on Ludwell's right face opened and closed immediately:

"Sauron, let's unite against him and go find the 'Gatekeeper'."

"Okay." Ludwell's left mouth responded without hesitation.

Seeing this, the "Red Angel" Medici laughed and said:

"You two have really been fooled! My plan has succeeded. I am sure you two were women in the past!"

Ludwell growled from his mouths on both sides:

"Shut up!"

"Humph, we have been together for two thousand years, and you still don't know your tricks? There's no need to struggle!"

As he spoke, the colors around Admiral of Hell Ludwell suddenly darkened and layered together.

He had entered the spirit world and began to travel.

…………

Outside the arms warehouse, Klein finally withdrew his gaze. The sense of danger had disappeared.

At that moment just now, he was inexplicably frightened, but he could not present the corresponding image in his mind.

"What's going on?" Klein muttered to himself without waiting. He threw the suitcase in his hand to the officer who was handing it over, and then said to Haggis beside him, "The rest is up to you. You can give me the balance."

He was referring to a heavy chest filled with gold bars and coins.

Haggis had originally planned to have a drink with Dwayne Dantes after the transaction was completed to celebrate the success and discuss possible future transactions, but he didn't expect the other party to be in such a hurry to leave.

"Okay, right there in that carriage." He pointed.

Alfred, who had walked a distance away, looked back in surprise, not understanding why Dwayne Dantès suddenly did not follow the planned procedure.
