The night was getting darker.
Many shops in the Aden Square had already closed for the day, and the square was completely silent.
Under a big tree, several people dressed in night clothes were meeting.
"Captain, according to our investigation, the owner of this restaurant has a three-year-old daughter. She's a half-elf," one of the men in black said softly.
The square-faced leader waved his hand, and said decisively, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's capture her now."
They had been ordered to find the three-and-a-half-year-old half-elf within three days. Before they had any concrete information, they were not to let go of anyone suspicious.
"But this little girl's identity is a little special. She's the disciple of Crassus and Julian. She even won the Magic Caster Tournament a few days ago. Her strength is above the 7th-tier," the man in black said quickly.
"What? A three-year-old 7th-tier magic caster?! "The square-faced man in black opened his eyes wide.
Although the other men in black had their faces covered, the shock in their eyes could be seen.
"She defeated an 8th-tier magic caster and won the Magic Caster Tournament," the man in black said, swallowing his saliva.
The scene suddenly fell into silence.
The men in black looked at the square-faced leader.
The square-faced leader's expression was a little awkward. Fortunately, the black scarf covered most of his face.
Although he was very good at stealth, he was still only a 7th-tier knight.
It was really hard to accept that he couldn't defeat a three-year-old child.
"Also, Julian lives in the magic potion shop next door. If we make a big commotion, we may disturb him …" the man in black added.
"Captain, she dares to appear in Rodu and participate in the tournament in front of the king and everyone. There's no news of her being related to Alex. She's definitely not our target."
"Julian is the Lord of Frost, a 10th-tier ice magic caster. He's famous for his eccentric temper. If we provoke him and cause our plan to fail … I'm afraid we won't have a good ending."
"Captain, why don't we change our target?"
The men in black began to persuade their captain to calm down.
"What you said is reasonable. I also don't think she can be the target. How can Alex open a restaurant as a chef? Unless he sells braised dragon heads." The square-faced leader nodded and said, "It's not because I can't beat her that I'm not going. This is related to His Highness' plan."
All the black-clothed men nodded.
Although they were all emotionless killers.
But he was still afraid of death.
"Just this?" Meg and Irina were standing on top of a tree not far away. They looked at the men in black who were quietly retreating with strange expressions.
"It seems that your infiltration was very successful. Anyone with a normal brain wouldn't have thought that you would become a chef, and a chef with amazing culinary skills," Irina said to Meg with a smile.
"Talent is not something that I can decide." Meg sighed, his eyes looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a hint of melancholy.
"Let's go. Let's follow them and see what they want to do." Irina jumped lightly and floated to another tree about ten meters away.
Meg couldn't fly. As a player who dealt pure physical damage, he could jump more than ten meters, but he couldn't be as graceful and light as Irina. He could only fall to the tree branch and jump between the trees.
From the conversation, these guys were obviously after Amy, and they belonged to Sean.
As for why Amy was the target, the assassination on the rainy night three years ago had explained everything.
If Alex had a weakness, it wasn't Irina, who was equally strong, but his daughter, who he swore to protect with his life.
A half-elf less than four years old should be very weak and easy to control. As long as they could catch her, Alex's lifeline would be in their hands.
Their train of thought was right.
It was like this three years ago, and it was still the same now.
Amy was still Meg's biggest weakness, but this time he wouldn't let anyone hurt her.
The stealth skills of the men in black were very clever. It was obvious that Sean had spent a lot of effort to train this group of personal guards.
But skill was not worth mentioning in the face of strength.
Meg and the others followed them at a distance and stopped outside a small courtyard in the south of the city.
"Target confirmed?"
"Confirmed. A family of three, an ordinary human, a first-level elf, and a three-and-a-half-year-old half-elf. All of them are asleep."
"Kill the human and elf, and take the child away." A cold light flashed in the square-faced leader's eyes.
The three men in black jumped up and landed in the courtyard.
The sharp broken blade was unsheathed, reflecting the cold moonlight as it gently opened the door.
Just as they were about to reach out and push the wooden door open, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, rolling up the sand and fallen leaves. The men in black subconsciously raised their hands to cover their eyes.
"All of you deserve to die." An incomparably cold voice rang in their ears.
The expressions of the men in black changed, and they all gripped their weapons tightly as they looked around.
But before they could do anything, the falling leaves in the wind had already slit their throats, and they only had time to let out a low muffled sound.
"What's the situation?" The square-faced leader heard the muffled sound in the courtyard, and his face darkened. He was about to climb over the wall.
Just then, a hand appeared on his shoulder, and a low voice sounded in his ears. "They're all dead."
"Ya … Alex!" The square-faced man in black froze, and his body and mind went cold.
"How many people did Sean send to do this in Chaos City?" Meg asked coldly.
The square-faced man in black didn't dare to turn his head, but he knew that there was no way he could survive in Alex's hands. He immediately sneered, and said, "Since you're here, your daughter might already be dead. If you let me go, I can help you find her."
"What I want to know is where your nest is, and how many scumbags like you are in Chaos City now." Meg stepped on the square-faced man's foot.
Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking and the man in black's screams, the front half of his left foot had already turned into a pile of meat and bone.
Big and small drops of sweat were flowing out of the man in black's forehead, and the extreme pain almost made him faint.
"Where else?"
Meg's devilish voice sounded again.
"I … I will never …"
"Crack, crack …"
Meg broke his left hand into 18 pieces.
"Kill me … I … I'll tell you everything …" The black-robed man finally broke down, and spilled the beans about their hideout in Chaos City. As for how many people were operating in Chaos City, that was not something he could know.
"I hope you didn't make up the address, or I'll make you regret being born in this world." Meg knocked out all of his teeth with a punch, and also removed the poison hidden in his teeth. He carried him with one hand, and headed north of the city with Irina, who had cleaned up the scene.
