[Player Lawless is requesting to enter the room, yes/no?]
Following a knock on the door, a notification appeared in front of Kieran.
Lawless' appearance was not out of Kieran's expectations.
Back in the Harvest Inn, after a short conversation, although Lawless doubted Kieran's guesses due to the lack of conclusive evidence, it didn't stop Lawless from following Kieran in the dark to find out the truth with his own eyes.
Kieran was well aware of Lawless stalking him.
The other party's tracking skills were very average.
Coupled with that huge backpack, it was extremely 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 whole sequence of events clearly.
Moreover, he showed a clear attitude.
They were on Kieran's side.
Or more precisely, Lawless would never stand on the side of a killer.
Therefore, Kieran gave Lawless an affirmative answer to his request.
"Yes!"
Kieran said.
At the same time, he hid the scroll to enter the Title Dungeon into his bosom.
A moment later, Lawless' tall figure appeared in Kieran's sight.
Kieran didn't 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 swept a glance at Kieran. He was no fool either, so he immediately guessed what was going on. He couldn't help but curse out loud.
"I know Xiaoji. He's also an insider player!"
"His strength is quite impressive. He is also a good person. I had thought that he had encountered an unfortunate accident in an instance dungeon. Unexpectedly … "
Speaking of this. Lawless furrowed his brows.
He quickly shook his head.
"Something's wrong!"
"Based on Xiao Ji's strength at that time, he should have been able to defeat Xiao Ji. Even if Nobian ambushed him, he wouldn't be able to do it! "
"Unless …"
Lawless raised his head and looked at Kieran.
Kieran coincidentally looked at Lawless as well.
As soon as the two of them looked at each other, they got the same answer from their gazes.
"Unless Nobian has a helper!"
"He lured me with the [Potionology] skill book, but there is no such skill book here. Plus, he seems to know me very well!"
"This is definitely not something a single person can do!"
"So, there should be an assassin organization made up of multiple players!"
"An assassin organization that hides in the dark and is unknown to normal players!"
Kieran said slowly.
"How do we find them?"
Lawless asked straightforwardly.
Obviously … 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 matter who it was!
"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 their employer! "
"Coincidentally, we 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 as he came up with an idea.
"You're on the list too!"
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 and caused a lot of damage to the other party. I've caused great losses to the other side, and the other side wants me dead! "
That's why they contacted Nobian, or Nobian's supervisor or something! "
Kieran said with a shrug.
That 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 more than enough evidence.
Losing the guild war, the death of one of his men, and losing face as a guild leader.
Any one of those would be enough reason for Broker to hire someone to kill Nobian.
"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 was not that Kieran did not want to sell them himself.
After his experience in the Harvest Inn, Kieran had to be careful. Kieran knew what he had to do.
However, he could not explain the origins of the weapons and equipment.
More precisely, Kieran did not have the confidence to convince all the veterans to believe him. Nobian had the identity of a killer.
Lawless, on the other hand, was different.
Kieran could tell that Lawless had quite the reputation among the veterans.
It was enough to convince them.
As for the killer organization finding out about it?
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 directly.
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 garage! "
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 garage at 13th Wallway Street.
After parting ways with Lawless, Kieran walked into his room and took out the title dungeon scroll while thinking 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.
