Chapter 126: Collision! Verlaine appears! Cadres...
Because Cadre A often insulted and beat his subordinates, and his special ability - the abnormality of the Jewel King was really disgusting, his death did not cause much dissatisfaction among his subordinates.
And after the leader, who learned of Cadre A's special ability, showed the other cadres that Cadre A was dead, and that this time he had to thank the assassination king Weilun for his performance, it would not cause any unnecessary sensation.
In just one day, the players and the other cadres completed tasks such as consolidating Cadre A's power, taking over Cadre A's property, and dispersing the crowds in places where Paul Verlaine might appear.
By the way, the robot Adam provided great assistance in collecting the assets of Cadre A.
The potential of NPCs is indeed endless. Players who have always allowed NPCs to grow freely suddenly have the idea of exploiting them.
"Your idea is wrong, Chiyo-sama," Adam, still wearing his blue suit, said calmly, "This kind of behavior of exploiting labor is unacceptable."
"I'm just saying that." The player who had successfully disrupted Adam's program three hours ago and now held Adam's supreme command authority played with the birch branch he had constructed and chuckled. "The treatment provided by the Port Mafia is already top-notch in Japan."
"Speaking of which, Adam," the player asked, "when do you think Verlaine will choose to launch his surprise attack? Will he fall for it?"
The man whose terrifying extent was personally confirmed by Rimbaud, Oda Sakunosuke, Adam and others.
Will Verlaine, who is good at surprise attacks and assassinations, fall into the trap set for him by the port mafia?
"According to my guess, there's a 50/50 chance that Assassination King Paul Verlaine will fall into a trap set by the Port Mafia, and a 50/50 chance that he'll choose a surprise attack," Adam said. "Has Master Chiyo already decided on the location for the decisive battle with Verlaine?"
"Ah... If we're looking for a place with easy-to-disperse crowds and nothing but ruins, then that's the only place." The player glanced at the sky. "I've already scattered the Sheep members across Japan, so finding them all will be a hassle. Verlaine, who's already exposed himself and eager to take Chuuya Nakahara with him, won't be able to wait that long."
"He wouldn't do something so far away as to go to great lengths."
"Then, if Wei Erlane wants to sever all ties with Princess Xiaoye, he absolutely cannot avoid the Port Mafia, and as its leader, I personally invited her to join the Port Mafia in public."
"I'll be waiting there for Paul Verlaine to arrive," said the player who had pushed his condition to its current peak.
"Let's go, my short-term partner, Adam."

A garbage dump on Leibo Street.
This is a place that people who grew up in Leibo Street are reluctant to step into. There are corpses piled up randomly and rats running around. The weather in this place is always foggy, making it impossible to see the light of the future.
"I didn't expect to set foot in this place again..." Dazai Osamu stepped on the garbage that already showed signs of corruption, looking at the abandoned container that was so familiar in front of him. His iris-colored eyes were dark, even darker than the sky shrouded in thick fog.
Ever since Kamijou Chiyo usurped the throne and became the new leader of the Port Mafia, Dazai Osamu has never lived here again.
The noisy black-haired girl pulled the boy in front of her who insisted on living in the garbage dump and said disapprovingly, "A person of great wealth should not sit in the hall. Now our status is different. How can the Great Teacher continue to live in the garbage dump like me?"
So, the leader lady, who was quite willful in some ways, ignored the wailing and unyielding spirit of her poor bandaged subordinate, and packed up all his things and stuffed them into the staff dormitory built by the leader himself in the port building - the residence she chose was even only a few rooms away from the leader's!
It’s not that Dazai Osamu didn’t think about running away again, but the leader lady simply filled his staff dormitory with all kinds of canned crab meat. Not only were there those bought outside, but there were also super delicious canned crab meat made by the leader lady herself with special ingredients!
Moreover, the leader lady also said that as long as Dazai Osamu lived obediently in this dormitory which was almost entirely made of canned crab meat, his delicious canned food would be continuously delivered from afar, and new crab meat dishes would appear every now and then.
Dazai Osamu, who tasted countless delicacies but always thought the food cooked by the leader was more delicious: "..."
For the sake of delicious crab meat, he reluctantly stayed a little longer.
"After all, it's the first time someone is visiting. Should we clean up first?" Sitting on the round chair in the container, Dazai Osamu, who had withdrawn from his past memories, looked quietly at the place in front of him which could barely be called his previous residence, and said with some distress.
But he soon changed his mind.
"Forget it, this place will be spotless anyway. It doesn't matter whether it is cleaned or not—" The black-haired bandaged boy shook the phone in his hand and made the above decision happily.
"Is this the place Dazai was talking about? There are quite few people here. If it's this place, will it be full of garbage when the fighting starts?" A familiar voice sounded outside the door. The leader lady's still distorted observation point made Dazai Osamu, who was originally trying his best to figure out Verlaine's route of action, couldn't help but reveal a genuine smile.
"This machine thinks that this place is rarely visited by people, which can reduce casualties caused by fighting." The robot took over the leader's question and answered it familiarly.
"Just be patient for a while, Chiyo." This was the voice of Verlaine's partner Rimbaud. It seemed that he had already reunited with the leader lady.
"That's what I said. Never mind. It doesn't matter if it's a little dirty. At worst, I can just wash myself up and take a hot spring bath..." The confident leader was already thinking about what she would do next to relax. Was there any hidden tricks?
Dazai Osamu's expression was unpredictable - in any case, everything was ready, just waiting for the man named Paul Verlaine to appear.
——————
The night is as dark as ink, which is the best time for murder, arson, assassination and surprise attack.
I don't know if it was because of confidence in his own abilities or other considerations, but after waiting for six hours, and even after Adam was sent by the players to find Chuuya, who didn't know what Dazai Osamu had assigned him to do, there was still no sign of Paul Verlaine.
"Why haven't you come yet? We've almost finished our meal—" the player said with a bulging mouth, holding the bowl and eating one fish ball at a time.
"Don't relax too much, Chiyo."
Unable to withstand the little leader's enthusiasm, Rambo gracefully ate the last bite of his food and said, "An assassin's best skill is waiting. Although Paul's title of Assassination King didn't come from this reason, it doesn't mean he's not good at it."
After saying that, Rimbaud quietly disappeared into the golden cube he had summoned.
"But Princess Xiaoye..." The player turned his head and looked at the teacher who was eating happily.
"Hmm, you're talking about the little dwarf..." Dazai Osamu put down his bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Don't worry, Chiyo-chan, the black little slug has important things to do now. You've also sent Adam, the robot that we've squeezed out of all its knowledge about Paul Verlaine, away. Now..."
Feeling the little leader pulling him away decisively, Dazai Osamu said softly, "Now, we just need to defeat the dragon--"
Punctually, the assassin king Paul Verlaine makes his grand appearance!
The blond, blue-eyed, and elegant man opened the simple door of the container with a strength that was beyond his appearance, brushed past Dazai Osamu's body, and kicked the door into the wall.
"It seems I've come to the wrong place. My dear brother is not here..."
Verlaine wiped his hands gracefully and said, "Who gave me the false information, then?"
"Hmm, who could it be?" The player, who had a full health bar, a full stomach, and a full item bar, holding the golden sword with the highest stats at present, equipped with the title of "Incredible Person" with +5 all attributes, wearing a "positive status bracelet" on his left hand whose ability has not yet been triggered, and a functional bracelet with +10 defense ability on his right hand, and had already saved the game, made a sword flower and asked with a smile.
"Of course... it's me in front of you!" As he said that, the player, whose speed reached 60+5 with the blessing of the title, attacked Paul Verlaine like a sword released from a bow!
at the same time--
Nakahara Chuuya, who had been waiting for most of the day at the place where the battle with Paul Verlaine was said to have taken place but no one showed up, saw a figure in the distance.
"Why are you here, Adam?" Nakahara Chuuya frowned and looked at the calm young man in the blue suit. "Where are the leaders?"
Adam: "Chiyo-sama said that it would be a long time before the war with Verlaine started, and asked me to come to you, Mr. Chuuya."
"What do you mean it's still a long time before the war with Verlaine starts?" Nakahara Chuuya raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wasn't this where the war with Verlaine started?"
"The battle took place at an abandoned garbage dump somewhere in Leibo Street, Mr. Chuuya." Adam looked at Chuuya Nakahara's belated expression and continued, "Chiyo-sama said they were going to have hot pot. She said robots can't eat, and it would be painful to watch them enjoy the food. So, she asked me to come find Mr. Chuuya and give him the things in my hand."
After handing the thin paper to Chuuya Nakahara, Adam added in a very professional manner, "Don't worry, Mr. Chuuya, this machine is very professional. This is just a short mission as a postman, and I can naturally complete it successfully."
After reading the paper, Nakahara Chuuya: "..."
“Dazai Osamu!” The land centered on Nakahara Chuuya was instantly twisted by the angry gravity. “This damn mackerel!”
"I'm going to dry him into mackerel someday!!!"
Adam was confused and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Chuuya?"
"No... nothing." Remembering that there was a robot beside him, Nakahara Chuuya suppressed his anger, but his words were still mixed with anger towards a certain bluefin mullet.
"This isn't the place where the final battle with Verlaine took place. The real place was the garbage dump on Radium Street you just mentioned."
Nakahara Chuuya clenched the paper in his hand and continued, "Besides, if we rush over now, it's too late. The leader and Rimbaud have already started fighting with Verlaine."
"We couldn't be of much help in the past."
"So what are you going to do now, Mr. Chuuya?" Adam, whose ultimate goal was to protect Chuuya Nakahara, asked the orange-haired boy who was now far away from the battle area.
Thinking of the address given by that damn bluefin tuna of Dazai Osamu, Nakahara Chuuya stood in place, clenched the paper, and after coming to his senses, he hurriedly and carefully unfolded it.
"We have other things to do," Nakahara Chuuya said, "and this is what the leader expects me to do."
Don't worry about Weilun's presence. As your leader, I'm incredibly powerful! Go find traces of your existence, Princess Koye. I'll definitely protect you—Kamigami Chiyoru (ゝω)
That's true, but isn't it a bit too much to ask me to leave the battle zone without knowing it? I am also your subordinate!
No matter what, it’s all the mackerel’s fault!
"You'd better not lie, Dazai." Nakahara Chuuya took Adam into the car and whispered while holding the paper with the address written on it.
