Only then did the old woman realize what had happened and let out a heart-wrenching scream. Captain Pallas grinned and reached out to strangle her neck. It was easy for him to deal with such an ordinary person even if he was seriously injured.

Just at this moment, Captain Pallas suddenly retracted his hand, and a sharp iron pen shot out from his wrist. Then Du Yuqi and the other two jumped down from the window of the house next to them with expressionless faces, forming a circle that surrounded them in the center.

When Captain Pallas saw the three people, his pupils suddenly shrank, his expression changed, and he immediately shouted sternly:

"You've come at the right time. Help me kill this rebellious criminal immediately. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

After saying that, he kicked the old woman again.

But at this time, Jet had already thrown out the net and directly pulled the old woman away one step ahead. At the same time, Du Yuqi had already rushed forward, slashed down with a sword filled with righteous indignation, and then shouted:

"We all saw clearly what you did, you bastard. You are obviously the damned traitor!"

Captain Pallas looked at Du Yuqi, his eyes almost spitting fire, and suddenly grinned:

"You bastards, I've disliked you for a long time, and now I want your lives!"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward, strode forward and slashed with his sword, but this slash was a feint. Several missiles suddenly shot out from under the wrist of his tattered armor, with a faint smoke coming out from the back. No one in the group had any intention of taking them head-on and they dodged to avoid them. Unexpectedly, after the missiles exploded, a large amount of thick smoke and a series of dazzling flashes spread out. By the time they regained their sight, the guy had already escaped and disappeared.

At this time, Du Yuqi said to the old woman seriously:

"Auntie, you have to be careful. This person is very dangerous, and he is also a strong man from the Steel Bear Knights. After doing something like this, he will probably kill us in a minute. If you have relatives now, run away quickly. We are also running for our lives now."

The old woman had already burst into tears, but she was old after all. After crying for a while while holding her husband's body, she quickly packed up some luggage and valuables and ran away. Before leaving, she thanked Du Yuqi and others profusely.

It was not until she left that Jet said to Du Yuqi in confusion:

"Master, I had clearly already locked onto that bastard, why did you stop me? Also, shouldn't we take this witness and quickly find the Steel Bear Knights to have them be on guard?"

Du Yuqi shook his head, with a strange expression on his face:

"At least for us now, it is better for Captain Pallas to be alive than dead, and the news of his betrayal should be spread as late as possible."

Jet was stunned and said:

"However, if this happens, the Steel Bear Knights will inevitably suffer a particularly severe loss of power."

Lin seemed to understand something at this time, and said to Jeter very seriously:

"The interests of the Steel Bear Knights may not necessarily be our interests."

Jet was stunned for a moment, Lin had already said:

"What we can offer to impress the Steel Bear Knights, the Zero Organization can offer ten or a hundred times more, so it is almost impossible to count on these guys to protect us in this regard. To put it bluntly, if the Zero Organization is willing to pay the price, the Steel Bear Knights might immediately turn against us and help capture us and hand us over to them for nothing."

Du Yuqi stroked the obsidian ring in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly and said:

"So, since we have no way to get closer to the Steel Bear Knights, then the other way is very simple, which is to make the relationship between the Zero Organization and the Steel Bear Knights even more distant... Well, to be precise, it should be hatred. The deeper the hatred between the two sides, the more comfortable we will be. If this hatred cannot be resolved, then it would be the best!"

Jet scratched his scalp, was at a loss for a moment, and shook his head simply, "I don't understand." Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started crunching them.

At this time, Du Yuqi was already wasting time, gritting his teeth and letting Lin disinfect the horrible wounds on his hands. He then bandaged them hastily and said to Lin:

“Isn’t it that Pallas is now going back to find the people from the Zero organization?”

Lin sneered:

"What else can such a villain do? Since he knows that a witness has been released, his ugly act of trying to survive and begging for mercy will inevitably be exposed. So of course he has to find Xiong Rishou and the others while he is still useful. He can either not do it or do it to the extreme. Once his identity as a traitor is exposed, he will not be able to sell himself even if he wants to."

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"That's what I thought. Let's go. We've stayed here too long. We should reunite with Xi now. Otherwise, she will be worried."

Ten minutes later, the two parties reunited. After seeing Du Yuqi covered in blood with his hands hanging limply, Xi didn't say anything on the surface, but his brows slightly frowned. Then, after checking Du Yuqi's arms, he found two wooden boards to make a splint for Du Yuqi for treatment, and tied his arms tightly. He selectively ignored Du Yuqi's protests.

This time when they came to the Royal Bank, Du Yuqi's plan in advance was that the three of them would be in the open, while Xi, who was both agile and explosive, would support them in the dark. Among all the people, she was the only one who could achieve such a combination of strength and agility, while hiding herself perfectly and serving as the most reliable backing.

Unexpectedly, Yangzi, who seemed very utilitarian, actually offered to help this time, which really surprised Du Yuqi. In Du Yuqi's view, the motive for what she did before was actually very simple, which was to make the power of Du Yuqi and his group stronger.

People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. The more powerful Du Yuqi and his group become, the easier it will be for the low-key Yangzi to hide in the shadows, and the greater his chances of successfully escaping and clearing himself. So Du Yuqi actually rejected Yangzi's request in disguise, because he felt that this woman might be a helpful aid after she got involved...but he also had to worry about being sold out by her one day, and opening his eyes to see the clown's weirdly smiling face in the morning sun.

However, Du Yuqi didn't realize until she returned that she had still underestimated Yangzi, underestimated her determination to seize opportunities, underestimated her ambition, and underestimated her ability...

The place where they were temporarily living was found by Yangzi's informant, Miss Waterly. This place was a very good choice for the hiders. There were three red four-story brick and stone buildings on a high hillside, from which one could have a clear view of the surroundings. The three alleys led to different places respectively.

Next to it is a crowded market, and behind it is a river called Dilas flowing by. At any time, you can see a dozen sheepshead wide-bottomed boats carrying cargo with broad triangular sails moored at the dock.

The surface of the small building is inlaid with local reddish-brown horse dung stones for decoration - this is also the most common way for the middle class in Cantwin to decorate their houses - there are obvious local linear grooves on the surface of the house, sculptures with iris patterns on the four corners of the roof, and a fence carved into the shape of a gourd.

The shady side of the small building is covered with plants similar to ivy, as if a green wall is surrounding the building. There are also small white flowers dotted on it, and a light fragrance can be smelled when you enter the house.

According to convention, in order to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop due to the enemy already lying in wait in the house, the four people would not go back together. Because Du Yuqi's arms were injured, Lin and Jet went back first. Du Yuqi and Xi stayed in the market, waiting for them to confirm safety before entering the house.

At this moment, Du Yuqi's mind was a little distracted. His heart was not on Lin and Jet, probably because he was injured, so Xi was standing close to him so he could lend a helping hand in the first time when encountering an emergency. Therefore, he could faintly smell the faint lotus fragrance emanating from her body. From Du Yuqi's perspective, he could just see the lines of Xi's cheeks, as if there was a layer of delicate skin with a faint watery glow, and earlobes as white as jade.

For some reason, this scene suddenly made Du Yuqi's teenage impulse and desire boil up. This is the power of boys aged 18 or 19. During adolescence, their hormones seem to be filled in every gram of blood. The smile of the opposite sex, even a pair of tight jeans, can ignite the fuse in their body at any time. Moreover, Xi had seen Du Yuqi naked. More importantly, Xi's attitude towards Du Yuqi was obviously different.

So at this moment Du Yuqi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he felt a very dry feeling deep in his throat. He couldn't help but indulge his desires and kissed Xi Jie's white and crystal earlobe. There are several very sensitive parts on a girl's body, and the earlobe is often ranked third or even second.

Of course, Xi also noticed that something seemed a little strange about Du Yuqi. After realizing this guy's ill intentions, he became instinctively angry and gave Du Yuqi a cold look.
