"Where is this place?"
Carrying his backpack, Seiber looked up at the mansion before him. The three-story building stood majestically in the middle of the street filled with skyscrapers. He couldn't help but take off his glasses and look at the large'M 'sign above the mansion. He then turned to Remi, who reluctantly shifted his gaze away from Yuriko. He answered casually, "Yes, Yuriko, you're right."
"This is one of the Milton family's strongholds, one of the earliest mafia families in Las Vegas. They control one-fifth of the city's underground gambling dens. What's wrong? Does your friend work here? That's a pretty good job. "
Saber didn't say anything. He picked up his phone again and confirmed that Selena's signal was coming from here. Tony's custom-made phone had many functions, and a bright red light was flashing on the screen.
He winked at Yuriko, took out a silver visor, and put it on his face as he spoke to Remi.
"You should just find a place and wait for us."
The second half of his sentence became low and muffled. "From what I know about Selena, it's unlikely that she would work in a place like this. So, we're left with the worst option. My friend, you still have to make a living here, so don't get yourself involved."
Remy was stunned when he saw Yuriko take out a strange spider mask from her backpack and put it on her face. Saber opened his backpack and took out a wooden box, then tossed the rest of the items to Remy.
"Hey, wait. I'm friends with the second son of the Milton family. I can —"
Bang!
Saber didn't give Remy any time to speak. He turned around and kicked the luxurious mahogany door with his left leg, creating a hole big enough for one person to pass through. He didn't even look back as he rushed in with his scabbard. Yuriko followed closely behind. In less than two seconds, gunshots rang out, followed by a few screams.
Remy, who was standing at the door, covered his face with his left hand. He looked around and was about to sneak away when he saw a surveillance camera on the other side of the street. He sighed, slung his backpack on his back, and helplessly went through the broken door.
Ah, having a few impulsive friends is really troublesome. Now that I've been dragged into this, I can't run away.
Remy looked around and saw that the ground was littered with unconscious people. Saber didn't kill them. Fortunately, that guy still had some sense.
"Left, go down. Don't get entangled with them."
A group of well-trained gangsters might be able to take on an equal number of police officers, but they couldn't handle two superhumans. When they realized that bullets were useless against Saber and Yuriko, their morale dropped to the lowest point. Yuriko picked up two decorative wooden sticks and smashed her way through. Saber followed behind her, using the light in his hand as a navigation device. Soon, they arrived at the basement of the mansion.
The heavy iron door was right in front of him. Yuriko stepped forward and slashed the lock with the five slender silver blades in her left hand. She pushed the door open and saw Selena, who was chained up in the cell. The girl's body was covered with bruises. It was obvious that she had been tortured. Several burly men were holding guns in their hands. It seemed that they were ready to kill the intruder when they were unprepared. However, when they saw the ten claws that popped out of Yuriko's hands, they cowered.
"Wait! Don't do it! Do you want money? Or revenge? Explain yourself! I don't remember the Milton family messing with you! "
Saber walked into the cell. The moment he saw the whip marks on Selena's body, the red light in his eyes under the mask jumped, and even his voice became much colder.
"Kill them!"
He put the alloy blade behind him, and Yuriko rushed into the group of stubborn guys. With just a wave of her hand, a head full of panic flew up. Blood spilled on the surrounding walls and the ground. Screams and pleas for mercy kept ringing in her ears. But for Yuriko, these were meaningless. She had experienced too many such things during the period when she was manipulated by Stryker.
If there was any difference between then and now, it was probably that killing in a sober state seemed to be more vivid.
"Swoosh!"
The silver blade flashed, and the chain wrapped around Selena's arm was blown off. The girl was also held in Saber's arms. This movement woke her up. When she saw the familiar twisted ghost face, she subconsciously hugged Saber's body and buried her head in his chest, just like that night three years ago, when Saber took her to race through the rain of bullets in Gotham.
He was not a good person … but at least he could make people feel safe.
"Okay, okay …"
Saber didn't even look at the guys who were killed by Yuriko. He patted Selena's bloody shoulder. "It's all in the past … Don't be afraid, it's all in the past."
"Did you find your friend? I can actually help … "
Remy poked his head out, and the slaughterhouse-like prison made him stop mid-sentence. He saw Yuriko, who was meticulously treating Selina's wounds with gauze, and the figure standing in the middle of the cell with a sword. Remy sensed that something was wrong, and he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, we can go eat … Damn it, look at the things you guys have made. I can't eat anything now."
"Lead the way to the other bases of Milton."
Saber suddenly asked. Remi froze for a moment and waved his hand anxiously.
"Don't joke around. Are you going to fight one-fifth of the city alone?!"
Remi suddenly remembered that this guy in front of him had brought Logan along, and the two of them had taken out a military base head-on. He rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"You're not really going to fight them alone, are you? Listen to me, Saber. I know you're angry that your friend was abused by them, but against such opponents, we need to think long term! "
Saber gestured for Yuriko to carry Selena. He strode to Remi's side, his red eyes staring at the latter, and the latter could not help but take a step back.
"I've wiped out the twelve gangs of Gotham. What's a mere Milton?"
He put his left hand on Remi's shoulder. "You have to pay the price for what you've done. I don't care what grudges Selena and Milton have, but they hurt my friend, and I have the responsibility to stand up for them! Which side are you on? Me? Or Milton? "
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Remi Leber looked at Saber in disbelief. When he realized that Saber was not joking, he grabbed his hair and screamed.
"Damn it! I'm definitely on your side. I don't have any relationship with Milton! "
But the next moment, he pulled down the brim of his hat and stared at Saber. "But your attitude pisses me off, Saber Hawk!"
Saber pointed at Selena. "She's my friend. She helped me."
He then pointed at Remi's chest. "You're also my friend. You helped me too … If you were the one lying here, I would do the same for you. Saber Hawk's friendship is worth a lot!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Remi slapped Saber's finger away unhappily and snorted. "Then I'm really flattered."
Then, he looked at Selena, and his gaze became as gentle as water. "Tsk tsk, look at this little beauty. Who would have the heart to whip her? Let's go. I'll take you there … I hope you won't cause me any more trouble. "
When Saber and Remi returned to the hotel, it was already midnight. The two of them reeked of blood. In order not to cause panic, they climbed into the living room through the window. Then, they saw Selena lying on the sofa, watching TV, wrapped in a blanket, and Yuriko eating supper beside her.
Miss Godly Thief was covered with bandages all over her body, which made her look like a small mummy. Even her face was covered with bandages, which made her look very funny. Both of her arms were covered with dripping syringes, which made her look like a critically ill patient. But to be honest, her real wound was not on those scary looking whip marks, but the place where she had been stabbed by a dagger. Yuriko had invited a doctor to treat her, but Miss Godly Thief was not the kind of person who could lie in bed peacefully, so she ended up like this.
"Yo! Saber, you're back. Who's that handsome guy beside you? Aren't you going to introduce him to me? "
It was a weak greeting, but there was a trace of happiness in her voice. Miss Godly Thief's eyes twinkled like stars. She shouted like a child, "Did you go to avenge me? How many did you kill? "
Saber shook his head and ignored her clamor. He turned around and walked into the bathroom. Remi Leber was more gentlemanly. He sat on the sofa, gathered his emotions, and then waved his hands exaggeratedly.
"Six hours, seven bases, a total of more than 300 people … Okay, we didn't kill anyone. We just 'punished' them a little. But I bet the orthopedic doctors in Las Vegas are doing very well these days. Old Milton was so scared that he almost peed his pants. I was wondering if I should let the poor old man go, but in the end, I still got my left hand broken. And this."
He fished out a few things from his pocket and took out a black box that still had a trace of blood on it. He placed it in front of Selena. The moment she saw the box, Selena's smile disappeared. It was because of this thing that she suffered such an unexpected disaster.
"Saber got it back for you. This thing belongs to you from now on."
As he spoke, Saber, who had taken a quick shower, walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe. He sat beside Selena without hesitation, reached out his hand, and knocked the girl's head hard.
"Next time, if you like something, just buy it back. It's just an external object. You don't have to work so hard."
Miss Prodigy's hands were infusion, and she could only shake her head to avoid Saber's heavy blows. She screamed, "You … Don't touch me! Damn it, it hurts! "
"Now you know it hurts?"
Saber pulled her ear and said loudly, "You're not a child anymore. Have you ever thought about how sad Catherine would be if something happened to you today?"
"Of course I have!"
Selena screamed and shook her head to break free from Saber's hand. She was like a cat that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. However, after a moment, she lowered her head and said awkwardly, "This was just an accident … Don't forget that I'm the master who helped you unlock Batman's lock! Next time, I won't let you save me … Oh yeah, speaking of which, you didn't come here just to save me, right? "
Saber shrugged. Selena's personality was very similar to Catherine's. The girl was only 19 years old this year, and she was still a child. He did not feel any pressure when interacting with these young people. In fact, among the girls around him, except for the mature Plum, the other girls gave him the same feeling as Catherine. He leaned on the sofa and stretched. While playing with Selena's long hair, he said casually.
"Of course I'm here to save a certain 'Master Thief'. I'm also here to find a bar called 'Out of Bounds'. You've been here for almost four months. Have you heard of it?"
"Out of Bounds? What kind of name is that?"
Selena curled her lips in disdain. Saber did not take it to heart. He did not expect to get any useful information from this reckless girl. However, accidents always happened inadvertently. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, Selena, who closed her eyes and frowned, suddenly screamed.
"Oh yeah! 'Out of Bounds' bar, right? I know it! I've seen it before! But it's not in Las Vegas … It's too far from here. "
She tilted her head and looked at Saber in a cute way. "It's next to the Texas desert road. I saw it once when I traveled there two months ago. It's so remote that it's almost beyond the boundaries of human civilization. Why are you looking for it?"
"Really?"
Saber, who had stood up, suddenly sat back down on the sofa. When he saw Selena nodding seriously, he laughed and scratched the girl's nose. Just like in Gotham, Selena's face turned red again. She kicked Saber's calf.
"Hey, don't think that you can bribe me with a stupid gem. I'm the only one who knows about that place. If you want me to bring you there … you have to show me your sincerity! Wahahaha, I like this kind of exchange! Also, don't try to get physical with me, you rude guy. "
