Thank you to Geng Yaoyue, Triplet, ZBBHHBBD, Fat Du Du, Big Brother Xiang, Tao Tao CD, Counterattack Old Demon, and other brothers for their monthly tickets! These past few days, I've been busy with the Old Master's birthday celebration. Fortunately, I haven't missed the update. Today, I'll return to work. Do your best ~]
Almost at the same time he heard the voice, the face of a confused woman flashed through Allen's mind. He said to Trisley, "It's that woman named Lu Qi."
Surprise flashed through Trisley's eyes. She had a "deep impression" of the woman she had bumped into in the bar that day. Trisley whispered, "How did she find this place?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure that this woman isn't simple." Allen gestured for Belmond to open the door. Not only did Lu Qi knock on the door, she also asked if you were inside. This meant that not only did she know that there was someone in the warehouse, she also knew the identities of Allen and the others. Although this was just a simple sentence, to be able to accurately find Allen and the others at this time was enough to show that Lu Qi was not as simple as a confused thief.
"Sure enough, no one in Mokedan is simple." Allen whispered.
The door opened, and it was indeed Lu Qi standing outside. She flashed in and said to Allen and the others, "Come with me!"
Of course, Allen wouldn't leave with her so inexplicably, so Lu Qi could only say, "Since you want to avoid the battle, then follow me. Right now, Gulant has lost about five hundred Shadow Army soldiers waiting for you on 41st Street, while Jia Ya and Kratt are outflanking from behind. If you crash into the next block, there will be no room for manoeuvre. "
Allen whispered, "How do you know we're going to avoid the battle?"
"Nonsense, with the strength this sister displayed in the bar that day, if you wanted to, you didn't have to come all the way here from 34th Street. The Black Cat and Nether Lion guilds are probably not enough to fill your stomachs. Since you chose to escape rather than fight to the end, you obviously don't want to cause any more trouble. I can even guess that the big trouble is Lord Violent Demon Bali, can't I? "
"You're not confused at all."
Lu Qi shrugged. "I'll explain the details later. My people are helping you lure the black cat away. If we don't leave now, it will be really troublesome. "
Allen nodded. "Please lead the way."
"Follow me."
After leaving the warehouse, Lu Qi brought them into another room. The people in the house seemed to treat them as if they were transparent, letting them pass through the house. The people inside did what they were supposed to do. Only a few kids looked at them curiously, but they were picked up and carried away by the adults. Lu Qi was very familiar with the environment of the slums. Not long after, she brought them to a sewer. She opened the shaft and went in first. Allen followed her, and a moment later, they arrived at the sewers of Mokedan.
This underground world was surprisingly spacious. There were clean walkways on both sides, and in the middle was a three-meter-wide canal that flowed continuously. No one knew where it led to. Lu Qi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "We're basically safe here. They definitely didn't expect you to go into the sewers. Even if we want to, this place is more accessible than the top. Unless you send all of Moke Dan's troops here, don't even think about blocking us. "
"Is that so? In that case, could Miss Lu Qi explain who exactly you are and why you helped us? Don't tell me it's because of the incident at the bar. That was something you purposely arranged to get close to us, right? "Allen said with a smile.
Lu Qi sized him up and said, "Lord Allen is really calm. Your ability to maintain your composure has already surpassed many important people. If Gulant was here, he would want to beat me up and ask me about it. "
Allen laughed at this magic of flattery. Lu Qi didn't continue to play dumb. She made a "follow me" gesture and said as they walked, "Let me formally introduce myself. I'm the president of the Pitch Black Ball, Lu Qi. I'm in an alliance with your Black Heart Guild, so when I heard that Lord Allen came to Mokedan, I couldn't help but go and meet you.
"In fact, Gulant has invited our guild to participate in this operation against you. But because of our relationship with the Black Heart, and also because I know that Lord Allen isn't easy to deal with, I didn't want to get involved. "
They turned a corner, and Allen said, "It's already very kind of your guild not to participate, but President Lu Qi still helped us. Aren't you afraid that you won't have a foothold in Mokedan?"
Lu Qi's confused look disappeared, and her eyes shone as she said, "So you see, I don't dare to help you openly. I still have to make sure that my people don't give the game away, because I don't want others to know that our Black Ball is involved in this."
"Alright then. What does President Lu Qi want in return?" Allen didn't believe that there would be such a good thing as a free lunch, so he asked directly.
"It's here." Lu Qi wasn't in a hurry to answer. She stopped at the bottom of another shaft and climbed up first. She then moved the cover of the well and called Allen and the others up. Returning to the surface, Allen didn't know where he was. He only knew that he and the others appeared in front of a small square. The square was next to a row of warehouses. Outside the warehouses, large land vehicles carrying goods were coming and going. The passersby saw them coming out of the shaft, but no one was surprised. They just took a few more glances.
Lu Qi said, "This is a property under our guild. Come here. Other than doing assassinations and spies, our guild also makes a legitimate living dealing in firearms and equipment. Just now, Lord Allen asked me what I wanted. It's very simple. I want Lord Allen to owe me a favor. "
"Oh?" Allen laughed. "Then I can only say that President Lu Qi is very far-sighted."
Lu Qi smiled and didn't answer.
She didn't want a substantial return, but an illusory favor. This was indeed a thought-provoking answer. Now, even Allen couldn't figure out what she was after. Allen wasn't in a hurry to find out. He thought for a while and said, "Since I owe you a favor, why don't President Lu Qi do me another favor?"
"Lord Allen wants to know who leaked your whereabouts to Gulant?"
Allen nodded.
"I'll give you news tomorrow at noon. Now, I've arranged another place for you to stay. But I think it's best if you don't stay in Mokedan for too long. "Lu Qi raised her hand after she finished speaking. A black land vehicle stopped beside them. The door slid open, and Lu Qi gestured for them to enter. She said, "My people will make arrangements. The place is very safe. There won't be any problems for at least two to three days."
"Sorry to trouble you." Allen didn't stand on ceremony with her and immediately went into the vehicle.
The land vehicle left quickly. Lu Qi walked into a warehouse, passed the goods yard, and went to an office. In the office, there was a man standing by the window facing the small square. After Lu Qi closed the door, she half-knelt in front of the man and said, "Gulant's actions disrupted my original plan. I'm very sorry. Lord Sutton, that man should be wary of me now. "
"It's okay." The man by the window said softly, "It's good to get close to him without arousing his suspicion and stay by his side. As for now, it's not bad to join as a collaborator like Maddie and the others. "
"That being said, it's not as perfect as the previous plan." Lu Qi said, "But sir, is he worth your attention?"
The man named Sutton sighed and said, "Lu Qi, do you know how long I've been in Mokedan?"
Lu Qi didn't answer.
The man answered his own question, "It's been ten years. Initially, His Majesty wanted me to monitor Mokedan, the Great Wastelands, and the Forgotten Realm. But in the past ten years, this place has been extremely peaceful. It's so peaceful that His Majesty has probably forgotten about me. I want to go back, but I can't go back just like that. If this person can open the southern door of Mokedan, then I can use his power to reappear in His Majesty's sight. "
"His Majesty will definitely be interested in a madman who dares to attack Mokedan and pry open that supreme country's gate." He chuckled. "Madman, I really can't think of a more appropriate adjective. But thanks to the appearance of this madman, this place is no longer a pool of stagnant water. "
"Lord Sutton, Mokedan is not controlled by Gulant now. The one above that fatty is now Grand Warlord Bali and three thousand Berserk Shadow Army. "Lu Qi reminded.
The man shrugged, "So what? Since this kid named Allen can get the support of the Forgotten Realm, he must not be simple. I'll take a gamble and win. Everyone will be happy. If I lose, I'll just continue to live this boring life. "
Lu Qi lowered her head, anger flashing through her eyes. For the man in front of her, it was indeed as he said. Everyone was happy to win, and it was the same if they lost. But for guilds like the Black Ball and Black Heart that followed him. If he lost, it would be equivalent to losing the foundation that he had built up over a long period of time. However, she was very familiar with this man's style of doing things. When needed, followers like them would definitely give up.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi couldn't help but remember the "favor" from Allen. That was originally a casual remark she made in order to get closer to Allen. But now, it seemed that she could use this favor to seek something for herself.
Time passed like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Bali was sitting in the big chair in his office, and the adjutant, Evangelica, was sitting between the thick legs of the Grand Warlord. Bali gently flicked his finger across the table, and his sharp fingernails easily dug up strands of wood on the table. The wooden silk slowly floated down in front of Gulant. The City Lord knelt with his head buried on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at the Grand Warlord. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
Today's operation was a complete failure.
His five hundred soldiers waited on 41st Street for a long time, but they didn't even catch a fly. Allen and the others, who had been chased to 41st Street by the Black Cat Guild and the Nether Lion Guild, suddenly disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. The Black Cat Killer launched a carpet search of the last place he encountered Allen and the others. In the end, he confirmed that they had already escaped far away.
There was a lot going on here.
