"Are you sure it's this bookstore?"
Francis looked at the store not far away.
This bookstore was the same as the investigation report. There was no sign, no decorations, nothing special.
The first impression it gave people was that it was ordinary and poor.
But the bookstore next door that was not open looked refreshing. Even in the central district, it was a very "upper-class" decor.
The two were next to each other, and the contrast was very obvious.
Although Francis did not have much business sense, he could not help but have the thought that "this bookstore purposely chose to be next to this bookstore to increase their business."
Thinking about it, perhaps his actions today would cause this bookstore to lose some of its competitive advantage?
Then I'm sorry.
Francis curled up the corner of his mouth and revealed a somewhat evil smile.
Another burly knight replied in a deep voice, "Yes, that's right. The investigation is very clear. Selena was talking about this bookstore."
"But this is the only bookstore around here. It is very suspicious that a bookstore that has been operating in this remote place for so many years has not closed down. Also, the incident that happened a few months ago was not far from here."
The burly knight hesitated for a moment before saying, "Should we wait for a while? Young Master Todd said that we should wait for his orders before deciding whether or not we should act …"
Francis waved his hand and snorted coldly, "It's already so late and he still hasn't notified us. Can't you see what Master Todd wants? Too inexperienced! "
"Oh …"
The burly knight scratched his head and was still worried, "But Melissa's strength has increased by leaps and bounds recently. Even Captain Robert praised her. Will Master Todd not be a match for her? What if … "
What if he was knocked out or tied up and lost his ability to move? What if he could not send them a message?
Francis curled his lips and looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, "Master Todd has the 'Shield of Protection' on him. That is a transcendent item that his grandfather gave him to save his life. All attacks below the Destruction grade will be ineffective. Do you think Melissa can reach the Destruction grade?"
"Quinn, you're all brawn and no brains!"
"Oh …"
The burly knight named Ryan suddenly understood and laughed foolishly. "So that's how it is. As expected of Young Master Todd, to be able to possess an extraordinary item of this level, I'm so envious."
Francis said in disdain, "Forget it. This is talent. You can't be jealous."
"If you have the time to worry, why don't you hurry up and finish the quest? Maybe Young Master Todd will be happy and reward you with a Transcendent item."
He waved his hand behind him and led his men to the bookstore.
In Francis's eyes, this mission was as simple as an outing.
According to the information, this bookstore only had a young owner and a young female assistant who came to seek shelter some time ago. They were all ordinary people.
Therefore, things became extraordinarily simple.
All he had to do was walk in, knock the person out, and tamper with their memories with ecstasy. Then, he would search the bookstore for contraband.
Of course, even if they didn't … they had already prepared a backup plan.
Francis walked calmly toward the bookstore in high spirits.
"Let's go. Follow me. This mission will be a piece of cake …"
Halfway through his words, his expression suddenly froze and he froze on the spot.
Francis saw the old and broken door of the bookstore, which had obviously been patched with planks, being pushed open, and several people came out.
The leader was an old man in an old gentleman's suit. He had mottled hair and cold dark green snake eyes. He was holding a cracked gargoyle sculpture in his hand.
He first said a few words toward the bookstore and then shook his head. His attitude was very respectful and humble.
Then, he closed the door and took a few steps back. He looked at Francis and the others with a cold smile in his eyes.
"One, two, three … Six Abnormal Levels and two Panic Levels. What a good snack. It seems that Mr. Lin has even prepared the trial to test your strength."
His last sentence was naturally directed at the other four who had already attended Teacher Lin's class and had greatly improved their understanding of the world.
Following closely behind him was Wyvern Garland and Codename Three.
Coming from the Blood Feast, they were obviously not easy to deal with. Even Snow, the noble lady, was also a player who was keen on watching the Underground Colosseum and pursued excitement.
At this moment, they all looked at each other as if they were looking at prey. Cold light flashed, like a pack of wolves circling around.
It was like a group of evil forces had appeared.
This was … Mr. Lin's mission. They had to complete it!
In contrast, Francis and the others who had been aggressive just now seemed to have suddenly become victims.
This time, not only was Francis stunned, but the people behind him also reacted. Wasn't this f * cking Wang Erde?!!!
The group of people widened their eyes. Their pupils shrank and their hearts beat wildly. Fear quickly spread in their hearts. At this moment, their rationality collapsed and vanished.
How could it be Wang Erde?!
Why would Wang Erde appear here in such an ordinary bookstore?!
What were they doing now? What should they be doing?
Were they dreaming?!
The "Black-Scaled Faceless Man" Frank Wang Erde, the Annihilation Level Dark Wizard, the direct cause of Yue Sefu's retirement, had appeared in front of them just like that.
There was not the slightest bit of defense, nor was there the slightest bit of concern.
Such a super criminal who was wanted by both the Truth Society and the Miyie Tower had walked out of an ordinary bookstore just like that.
At the same time, the four people behind him were all Terror Level. Such a lineup was enough to wipe out an entire area.
"Retreat, retreat! Retreat quickly! It's a trap! "
Francis was scared out of his wits. He didn't even have time to think about what was going on. He just wanted to run away quickly.
The others didn't even need his order. They had already turned around.
This was an Annihilation Level. Even if they worked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat him!
Even if they had to report to their superiors, they had to be alive!
However, as soon as they turned around, they saw a huge dog-shaped creature floating in the middle of the road. The pale and ferocious skeleton opened its mouth, revealing the pulsing flesh, teeth, and eyeballs within.
Francis' face turned pale, and he revealed a bleak smile.
This was indeed a perfect explanation … He was afraid that he would lose his life here.

"Damn it, where did those people come from?!"
Ke Laode's face suddenly changed. He stood up from the roof and looked at the Miyie Tower knights who were walking toward the bookstore without disguising themselves at all.
"They seem to be from the Combat Department … Oswald's faction."
The person next to him said in a low voice, "We didn't inform them about this operation. They came here on their own."
"They came here on their own?!"
Ke Laode felt that this was ridiculous. His face turned pale. Wang Erde had been alerted in advance. Their ambush had failed because of these idiots acting on their own?!
"Find out their background and the reason they came here this time. No … wait."
Ke Laode suddenly froze and thought of another possibility.
"Could it be … that Mr. Lin arranged this on purpose to avoid disputes between customers?"
