On the top floor of the building, a black-haired, brown-eyed man in dark clothes, who looked to be in his late twenties, looked down at the arms deal not far away.
He couldn't help but say, "He's actually looking for Maysanchez? Oh, Holy Lord of Storms, Alfred, if we had known this would happen, we might as well have done this mission ourselves. Even after deducting the various expenses, we would have earned at least 20,000 pounds! "
Beside the man was a young man in a black trench coat. He looked to be about 23 or 24 years old, with resplendent blond hair and blue eyes that resembled a lake. He was rather good-looking.
The person known as Alfred shook his head and said, "No, that would be too obvious.
"No, that would be too obvious. Maysanchez's stance has always been vague. Before figuring out his stance, rashly discussing an arms deal with him is an extremely dangerous matter. Dwayne Dantès was able to earn twenty thousand pounds because he dared to take risks."
The black-haired, brown-eyed man immediately scoffed.
"Alfred Hall, who led a few dozen men to attack an army of more than a thousand, actually said that he didn't dare take the risk!?"
Alfred shot a glance at him and said, "Pagani, this isn't the same thing.
Back then, it was because I had the confidence to wipe out their command center. And once there's no organization, a thousand scattered soldiers might not even be as powerful as a thousand pigs.
"In addition, this deal is a form of probing. It's part of establishing a 'pipeline' to establish contact. If it's done by us, who will we find the next time? What about the next time? If we continue doing this, we will eventually expose our identities. If that happens, diplomatic relations will be passive. Besides, as the deals deepen and expand, it might attract the attention of demigods from certain factions. When that happens, it will be dangerous. "
"Haha," Pagani said with a laugh. "How can a demigod be so free to pay attention to such small-scale arms deals? Every faction only has a few demigods. There are too many things waiting for them to do! "
"I know. I'm only giving an example," Alfred replied stoutly.
Pagani didn't harp on this matter as he cast his gaze at Dawn Dantès who was outside the warehouse.
"This gentleman is said to be very generous. Not long after he arrived in Baekeland, he donated shares worth more than ten thousand pounds to the Church of Evernight. Is this the initial investment you often speak of?
"Also, he seems to be working in the same charity foundation as your sister. Tsk, a man like him is very popular with girls. He's good-looking, has an outstanding temperament, is smart, has experience, and has skills. He's met countless women, but he's at the age where he should settle down. Alfreid, you have to tell Audrey that a playboy will always be a playboy, and that a bad character is a shortcoming that can never be corrected. We can't let the most dazzling jewel of Baekeland be stolen by such a guy."
Alfred turned his head and glared at Pagani.
"I don't need to worry about this. Audrey isn't a young and naive girl. Her understanding of The World is far more mature than you think. Besides, my father and mother are both in Baekeland. They have enough power to stop some bad things from happening."
At this point, Alfreid looked at the ammunition warehouse not far away and paused for a moment before continuing.
"Maysanchez actually sent Haggis. I'll go greet him."
This isn't a suitable time to meet, right … Just as Pagani was about to say something, Alfred had already turned around and walked down the stairs.
…
Klein, who had transformed into Dawn Dantès, didn't bring any servants. He held a gold-inlaid cane and stood outside the warehouse with Maysanchez's representative, Haggis. They watched as boxes of firearms were carried out and placed onto carriages.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something as he half-turned his body and cast his gaze elsewhere.
What he saw was a young man without a hat and wearing a trench coat. His blond hair was combed back diagonally, and his blue eyes resembled a lake under a clear sky. His figure was slender and well-proportioned, and every action he took exuded an indescribable sense of authority. Even though there were no soldiers around him, he exuded a sense of authority.
"Alfred!" Haggis also noticed this gentleman as he shouted in pleasant surprise.
Alfred … Miss Justice's second brother … This feeling is very similar to the Arbiter pathway … Klein raised his right hand, took off his top hat, and pressed it to his chest as a form of greeting.
After Alfred Hall greeted Haggis, he turned to look at Dawn Dantès.
"Your character is widely praised in Baekeland. Even I, who is in East Balam, have heard of it."
Character? The character of an arms dealer? Klein lampooned as he chuckled.
"I only did what I thought I should do."
Alfred nodded.
"I believe there's no need for me to introduce myself, right? Haggis should've mentioned me to you. "
"Yes, Colonel Hall." Klein replied with a smile, "I only found out after coming here that Miss Audrey has an older brother in the Southern Continent. He's serving in the army and has made many contributions."
Alfreid swept his gaze across Dawn Dantès's face and changed the topic.
"I originally thought you would seize the opportunity to work at the Rouen Charity Bursary Foundation. I didn't expect you to actually choose to come to the Southern Continent."
Klein maintained his smile.
"For an outsider, it is difficult to truly enter the circle with donations, charity, banquets, and dancing.
Alfred hummed in acknowledgment.
"Very rational."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he asked Haggis,
"What happened in Cookawa recently? It seems very serious. "
Hodges forced a smile onto his face.
"I'm not sure. At that time, we were all hiding under the general's residence. I only heard that there was a thunderstorm in the Resurrection Square area."
"Thunderstorm?" Alfreid's gaze turned to Dawn Dantès once again.
Klein nodded and said, "Indeed.
The hotel I stayed in wasn't too far from Resurrection Square. I saw lightning continuously strike there. All of this happened during the day. "
Alfreid's gaze shifted to Haggis.
"What was the scene like at the end?"
"Most of the place had collapsed. There were traces of lightning strikes everywhere." Haggis didn't hide anything.
Alfreid nodded slightly and pointed to the side. He said to Haggis and Dawn Dantès, "I still have some matters to attend to.
We'll talk again when we have the chance in the future. "
"See you next time," Klein replied with a top hat. It was as though he was at a social gathering and not outside an arms warehouse.
Just as he watched Alfreid Hall leave, his body moved slightly as his head suddenly turned to the side.
…
In a primitive forest that was filled with trees in East and West Balam, a figure with a bent back slowly appeared.
His face was meaty and his skin was brown. His clothes were loose, and he had a rapier by his waist. He held a silver mask in his hand.
After looking around, the figure slowly straightened his body. He was none other than Admiral Hell Ludwell who had previously entered the Underworld.
However, at that moment, his eyes were burning with two blood-red flames. He looked completely different from before.
"So hungry …" Ludwell opened his mouth and let out a sigh that seemed to come from his chest.
He then cast his gaze in a particular direction and muttered to himself, "Over there is the owner of this marionette.
"The owner of this marionette is there. Fate has allowed them to meet again.
"He has an item from the Hunter pathway on him. It's perfect for me to replenish him."
Before he could finish his sentence, a bloody mouth suddenly split open on Ludwell's left cheek as it opened and closed.
It opened and closed, saying, "Medici, we first need to resolve the problem of existence! After this marionette completely loses contact with its owner, it's equivalent to him truly dying. The remnant spirit will soon return to the Underworld, unable to maintain its body. And without the support of the Underworld in his body, we will inevitably weaken until we dissipate! "
"Yes, the most important thing now is to find another Gatekeeper." A mouth appeared on Ludwell's right cheek.
Red Angel Medici immediately chuckled.
"Sauron, Einhorn, were the two of you women in the past? You have thrown the status of an angel into the toilet! That fellow was able to resist 0-08's arrangements a few times, which means that he's definitely not simple. How can we let go of this opportunity to lock onto him? Once this marionette completely perishes, it won't be that easy anymore!
"Besides, the Hunter pathway item on him can effectively increase the amount of time we can exist. It won't be too late to find a new Gatekeeper after we finish him off."
The bloody gash on Ludwell's left cheek immediately scoffed.
"Medici, have you sacrificed your brain to the True Creator? That fellow has clearly advanced. In our present state, it's not difficult to defeat a Bizarro Sorcerer, but it's nearly impossible to kill him! "
Medici wasn't angry as he chuckled.
"It's not like there's no way to resolve this. As long as you let me chant the Lord's honorific name, helpers will immediately come. They might even bring their own Gatekeepers."
The mouth on Ludwell's right cheek immediately opened and closed.
"Sauron, let's join forces to resist him and find the Gatekeeper."
"Alright," Ludwell's left cheek replied without any hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Red Angel Medici laughed out loud.
"The two of you were indeed fooled! My plan has succeeded. I'm certain that the two of you were women in the past! "
Ludwell's left and right cheeks growled.
"Shut up!"
"Hmph, we've been fused together for two thousand years. How can we not know your tricks? There's no need to struggle! "
As he spoke, the colors around Admiral Hell Ludwell instantly thickened as they stacked together.
He had already entered the spirit world and began traversing it.
…
Outside the arms warehouse, Klein finally retracted his gaze. The sense of danger had vanished.
At that moment, he felt a baffling sense of trepidation, but he was unable to produce the corresponding scene in his mind.
What's going on? Klein silently muttered to himself. Without waiting any further, he threw the suitcase in his hand to the officer who was in charge of the handover. Then, he said to Haggis, "Whatever happens next is up to you. You can give me the rest."
He was referring to a heavy chest filled with gold bars and coins.
Haggis had planned on having a drink with Dawn Dantès after the handover was completed to celebrate the success of the matter and discuss possible future deals. He never expected him to be in such a rush to leave.
"Alright, it's on that carriage," he said as he pointed.
Alfreid, who had already walked a distance away, also looked back in surprise. He didn't understand why Dwayne Dantès was suddenly not following the predetermined procedure.
