[Player Lawless requests to enter the room. Yes/No?]
After a knock on the door, the notification popped up in front of Kieran.
Lawless' appearance was not out of Kieran's expectations.
After the short conversation at the Harvest Inn, Lawless had doubted Kieran's guesses because he did not have any concrete evidence. However, that did not stop him from following Kieran in the dark and using his own eyes to find out the truth.
Kieran was well aware of Lawless's stalking.
Lawless's stalking skills were average.
Plus, that big backpack of his was very eye-catching.
Even though Lawless had purposely taken the wrong train, when Lawless had entered the narrow alleyway, Kieran had still noticed him the moment he had arrived.
When Nobian had ambushed him and Kieran had killed him, Lawless had been right beside him.
From the beginning to the end, Lawless had seen the entire sequence of events clearly.
He had even displayed a clear attitude towards the matter.
Lawless had stood on Kieran's side.
To be more precise, Lawless would never stand on the side of a killer.
Therefore, Kieran had given Lawless an affirmative answer to his request.
"Yes!"
Kieran said.
At the same time, he put the Title Dungeon Scroll into his pocket.
A moment later, Lawless's huge body appeared in Kieran's sight.
Kieran did not say anything. He just pointed at the blackboard.
The notes left behind by Nobian could better explain the truth of the matter.
"Damn it!"
Lawless took a quick glance at Kieran. He was not stupid either, so he immediately guessed what was going on. He could not help but curse.
"I know Xiao Ji. He's also an intranet player!
He's quite strong. He's also a good person. I thought he had met with some unfortunate accident in the dungeon, but … "
Speaking of which... Lawless's brows furrowed together.
He quickly shook his head.
"No way!
Considering Xiao Ji's strength at that time, even Nobian would not have been able to kill him! Even a sneak attack from Nobian wouldn't be able to succeed! "
Lawless raised his head and looked at Kieran.
Coincidentally, Kieran was looking at Lawless as well.
Coincidentally, Kieran was looking at Lawless.
As soon as the two of them looked into each other's eyes, they got the same answer from their gazes.
"Unless Nobian has a helper!"
He used the [Potionology] Skill Book to bait me, but I didn't find it here. He seemed to know me very well.
It's not something that a single person could have done.
"So, there should be an assassin organization made up of multiple players!"
"It's an assassin organization that hides in the dark and is unknown to normal players!"
Kieran said slowly.
"How do we find them?"
Lawless asked.
Less. Lawless was not intimidated by the so-called "killer organization".
It could even be said that the appearance of the Killer Organization had completely ignited Lawless' rage.
He could not tolerate people who took other people's lives for no reason!
No one.
"How do we find them?
They must have a special way of contacting each other and a secret meeting place, and we can't find them easily.
"Fortunately, we can't find them, but we can find the 'employer'!"
We also have a list of victims in our hands. All we need to do is find the players who have a grudge against them and want to kill them. "
Kieran pointed at the blackboard after coming up with an idea.
"You're on the list!"
Lawless said.
"So. I can provide you with a valuable clue! "
Between the Steam City and the Iron Chariots, who bought the rocket launcher I sold? "
Kieran said with a smile.
"You're saying?"
Lawless was surprised.
"I'm just a newbie in the underground game.
"I don't have much interaction with other players."
The only thing that could be considered a grudge is the party who bought my rocket launcher. I caused a lot of damage to the other party, so they wanted me dead.
That's why they contacted Nobian, or Nobian's supervisor, or something like that! "
Kieran said with a shrug.
This was the answer he had come up with on his way here.
Compared to the lack of evidence to suspect Broker, the Steam City and the Iron Chariots had a much more solid reason.
Losing the guild war, the death of his men, and losing face as a guild leader.
Any one of those reasons would be enough reason for Broker to hire a killer.
"Leave it to me!"
Lawless said as he turned around to leave.
"Wait!
I'll leave these to you as well!
Help me sell them and I'll give you 5%! "
Kieran called out to Lawless. He pointed at the weapons and equipment that belonged to Nobian and had been categorized as goods for sale.
It wasn't that Kieran didn't want to sell them himself.
After his experience in the Harvest Inn, Kieran knew what he had to do. Kieran knew what he had to do.
However, he couldn't explain the origins of the weapons and equipment.
More precisely, Kieran wasn't confident that he could convince all the veterans to believe him. Nobian had the identity of a killer.
But Lawless was different.
Kieran could see that Lawless had quite the reputation among the veterans.
It was enough to convince them.
As for the news leaking out and being found out by the assassin organization?
Kieran was sure that the moment Nobian died, the killer organization would know about it.
After all, when Nobian borrowed the screenshot of the [Potionology] skill book, he would have explained it to the user.
Nobian did not reply to the message for a long time.
As long as Kieran was not an idiot, he would be able to guess what had happened.
Everything would be pointed at Kieran.
What followed would be some high-ranking killers.
Kieran did not think that all the killers in the killer organization were at Nobian's level.
Rather than facing off against a high-ranking killer who was stronger than Nobian, Kieran might as well blow the matter up and buy himself more time and allies.
Judging from Lawless's rage, Kieran had reason to believe that there was no lack of such people among the lone wolves.
"Leave it to me!
Do you want me to return to 13th Wallway Street with you?
Or do you want to stay here? "
Lawless knew what Kieran wanted to do right away, but he did not reject Kieran's offer. Instead, he asked Kieran.
Lawless knew that Kieran, as the victim, was the best candidate to fight against the killer organization.
Kieran's battle with Nobian had allowed Lawless to witness Kieran's strength with his own eyes.
Kieran's strength was on par with any veteran who had completed five or six dungeons.
Even if the two of them were on good terms, Lawless would not want to lose such a powerful ally.
"I don't want to stay here!
Even though this place has all the functions of my old room, compared to a killer's lair, I still prefer my old warehouse! "
Kieran said.
Then, he and Lawless started to clean up the weapons and equipment that Nobian had left behind.
When everything was ready, Kieran and Lawless returned to the old warehouse at 13th Wallway Street.
After saying goodbye to Lawless, Kieran went back to his room. He took out the title dungeon scroll and thought about how he should level up his skills.
Although Kieran had chosen to level up his skills in order to deal with Nobian, it was not enough.
However, that was not entirely the case.
