Ring Ring Ring!
Ring Ring Ring!
The phone rang again after Kieran hung up.
Kieran picked up the phone.
"How dare you …"
Pak!
Before his voice even subsided, Kieran hung up the phone again.
Ring Ring Ring!
Ring Ring Ring!
Kieran picked up the phone again.
"Do you know …"
Pak!
The phone was hung up again.
Ring Ring Ring!
Ring Ring Ring!
When the phone rang again and Kieran picked it up, he could clearly hear the heavy and hurried breathing from the other end of the line. However, this time around, the person's voice sounded doubtful and sounded very polite.
"May I ask if this is the Glutton Emperor's place?"
"No."
Kieran answered and hung up again.
Then …
The phone was unplugged.
This was 17th Randletine Street, not 13th Wallway Street. This was the residence of the Freezer, so how could it be his?
The corner of Emma Eddie's eyes twitched as he watched this scene.
"Are you playing an after-dinner game?"
Emma Eddie asked.
"Game?
"No."
I just don't want to be led by the nose. "
Kieran shook his head seriously.
Emma Eddie instantly rubbed her swollen temples.
She couldn't understand what the man before her was trying to do.
He wasn't just cold, he didn't play by the rules and was petty!
It was really …
Unknowingly, Emma Eddie felt sorry for the man on the phone.
Huu!
The young girl from the streets took a deep breath and said in a formal tone, "But you should at least listen to what he has to say, right? What if he has some clues?
Trust me, there won't be any.
If he can do something like this, he must have a corresponding plan.
"No matter how stupid he is, he won't easily give us useful information. On the contrary, he'll say something like 'I've set up bombs in other places. If you don't want them to explode, you'll have to give me something, something, something.'"
These so-called conditions are also useless, they will only disrupt our vision to get the real information and clues. "
Kieran said with certainty.
"But we don't have any information or clues!"
Emma Eddie was working hard.
"That's just because you didn't see it."
"Everything that passes by must leave a trace."
"As long as you use your unique vision to discover it, you will definitely be able to discover something."
As Kieran spoke, he turned to the Freezer who was standing with his hands by his side and ordered, "Ferris, I need books related to the Pope from six hundred years ago, especially some unique or secret copies. I'm willing to pay a high price for them."
"Understood, my lord."
The Freezer bowed and walked out.
"Odork, I'll leave the defense and patrol to you for now."
Kieran said to Bloodman.
"Yes, my lord."
The bloody man bowed and followed the Freezer outside.
The two of them were loyal to Kieran, so they didn't need to ask Kieran why. All they needed to know was that it was Kieran's order and they had to do their best.
After that, Kieran looked at Emma Eddie.
"I don't keep idle people here."
Kieran said.
Emma Eddie understood what Kieran meant, so she quickly said, "I can help Odork patrol the area — what happened just now was just an accident, I was careless. I can also help you verify whether the unique and secret copies that you are buying are real or not. You don't want to spend a lot of money on a bunch of fakes, right?"
Emma Eddie tried to explain how she had been held hostage and to highlight her value.
As for helping the Freezer?
Emma Eddie was well aware of her own limitations.
Given the identity of the Freezer, he must have a better grasp of the secret trading location than her, he didn't need her so-called 'help' at all.
Besides, compared to the cold Freezer, Ferris, Bloodman Odork was easier to deal with.
At the same time, Emma Eddie was quite confident in her appraisal skills.
No doubt, Emma Eddie's words moved Kieran, who didn't want to suffer losses for no reason and waste his time.
"I can give you a chance, but remember, this is your only chance."
Kieran then headed to the study room.
Emma Eddie stuck her tongue out at Kieran's back, bade farewell to Willis and left the room.
As for Willis?
As a guest, no one would force the other to do anything. Moreover, Willis looked like his wife had died, so he couldn't do anything.
Kieran walked into the study room and a thought popped up in his mind.
Canberlanor appeared in the study room.
Canberlanor couldn't hold back his joy when he saw the study room filled with books. However, he didn't forget his most important task.
"My lord, are these the books about Mordin's sculptures that you mentioned before?"
Canberlanor asked after a bow.
"Yes, not just about Mordin's sculptures, there are also some miscellaneous books that should be of help to you.
But I hope you can focus on reading the books about Mordin's sculptures, see if you can find any hidden connections.
Ferris will send you books about the papal era, I believe those books will be of help to you as well. "
Kieran nodded.
"I'll do my best."
Canberlanor then raised his hand.
Instantly, a dozen books flew out from the shelf, opened up in mid-air and started flipping rapidly.
The pages of the books were flipping noises.
After the scene, Kieran quietly left the study room.
Kieran wasn't a person who would belittle himself, likewise, he wouldn't be arrogant.
Therefore, he knew that even with his Talent [Memory Palace], he couldn't compete with Canberlanor, who was born to read.
Moreover, after convincing Canberlanor with [Drops of Finest Cream], he gained the attribute [Intelligent Deduction].
Professional matters should be left to the professionals.
It was what Kieran always believed.
Just like following the obvious clues, he left it to his most capable subordinate.
…
"Are you sure it's this way?"
Bloody Mary leaned back in the shadows, looking at the mall before it as it asked Frost Wolf softly.
Frost Wolf nodded like a human, raised its left paw and pointed at the fourth floor of the mall.
"You can smell it from this far away?"
Bloody Mary looked at Frost Wolf in shock.
Frost Wolf looked at Bloody Mary with a disdainful gaze, then turned its head to the other side and looked at the sky.
In the sky, a dash of red flashed for a second.
Fire Raven!
Bloody Mary instantly understood what happened, it wasn't embarrassed at all, it said with a normal face, "Nicely done, leave the rest to me."
After that, Bloody Mary vanished into thin air.
A second after Bloody Mary vanished, Fire Raven landed in front of Frost Wolf like a gust of wind.
Frost Wolf was stunned by the sudden appearance of Fire Raven. It looked at Fire Raven in confusion. Based on past habits, Fire Raven should have returned to its master by now.
Gawk, Gawk!
Amidst the soft caws, Fire Raven pointed at the food court beside the mall with its wing.
Wuuu …
Frost Wolf whimpered, it instantly understood what Fire Raven meant, but because of that, it was a little hesitant.
Based on Kieran's teachings, Frost Wolf should never steal other people's food without a good reason. Even if it was stolen, it should at least leave something of equivalent value behind.
Frost Wolf whimpered to tell Fire Raven about its concern.
Gawk, Gawk!
Fire Raven cawed in slight disdain, as if it was blaming Frost Wolf for thinking it was trying to steal its food. A moment later, Fire Raven raised its claw that was locked tight and slowly opened it.
Ding!
After a clear clatter, a shiny gemstone fell in front of the Frost Wolf.
Frost Wolf was stunned when it saw the pinky sized raw gemstone that had irregular edges and wasn't cut before.
It had no idea where Fire Raven had found this raw gemstone.
Did it pick it up?
But where did it pick it up?
Was there a gemstone mine nearby?
Frost Wolf didn't ask further because … its saliva started to drip down its mouth.
One needed to know that Frost Wolf had been enduring the aroma of the food court for a long time now.
If it wasn't for its principles, it would have dashed in.
Now, since it had something of equivalent value, it could go in and have a taste of the food.
Of course, it wasn't right away.
It had to wait for the right time.
Fire Raven knew it too, so it quietly hid in the shadows in the corner with Frost Wolf, waiting patiently.
…
"Are you sure the number you gave me is the number of Glutton Emperor's house?"
Inside a room on the fourth floor of the mall, a strong middle-aged man with a gloomy voice slammed the table, causing the pencils and cups on the table to bounce.
"I'm sure.
That is the Glutton Emperor's house. "
A skinny, bespectacled young man in ordinary clothes answered very seriously.
"Is he lying to me?"
The middle-aged man dialed the number again with doubts in his mind.
However, the call couldn't be connected, which infuriated the middle-aged man.
Pak!
He smashed the phone in his hand and shouted angrily, "I've been tricked!"
"That damn bastard!
"I want him to pay the price!"
I will make him understand how stupid it is to trick Lord Harker! "
The middle-aged man wanted to activate his ability.
"Wait!"
The bespectacled young man stopped him.
"What's wrong?
Goran, are you going to plead for those people?
Don't you forget what you've been through! "
The middle-aged man said with a cold smile.
"Of course I haven't forgotten what I've been through …
That's why I agreed to work with you.
But don't you forget what you promised me when we worked together, you will listen to my orders! "
The young man emphasized.
"That's right! That's right!
"I promised you that I would listen to you!"
"But that was before I lost my temper!"
"Now!"
I've decided to do things my way because if I do things your way, I'll feel like a stupid clown! "
The middle-aged man said as he walked towards the young man.
The scrawny young man looked even more scrawny as the middle-aged man walked closer. When the young man took two steps back, his aura weakened even more.
The middle-aged man laughed out loud.
He liked this kind of situation where the strong bullied the weak.
It could bring him extraordinary pleasure.
If it wasn't for the fact that his ability was useless against ability users, he would have controlled the young man a long time ago and made him obey him.
But soon!
As long as he could complete this task, he would be rewarded by the lord and his abilities would improve further.
Controlling ability users wouldn't be a dream anymore!
Once he thought of the perfect scenario, Harker's body started to tremble.
Goran, who had retreated to the corner of the wall, looked at Huck with disgust behind his glasses.
He hated this kind of arrogant collaborator.
Although he knew Goran wasn't a qualified collaborator, he had to work with him for the sake of temporary benefits.
However, Goran didn't expect Harker to be worse than he thought.
He had to leave Alkender City as soon as possible!
Goran knew the people in the city were not to be trifled with.
Fist of Justice, Wine Barrel and the Glutton Emperor that appeared recently, especially the Glutton Emperor. The Glutton Emperor wasn't just cold and merciless in his actions, he was also clean and decisive, never sparing his enemies any breathing space. He would eliminate the roots of his enemies and was even scarier than some villains.
Goran could already imagine what would happen if the idiot in front of him detonated the bombs that he had set up beforehand.
Hunted!
Chased by the Fist of Justice, the Wine Barrel, and the Glutton Emperor!
What if he was caught?
The image that popped up in his mind made Goran's heart tremble.
"You don't have to detonate all of them, all you have to do is detonate a part of them and it will serve as a deterrent. The bastard that played you will know that you are not to be trifled with.
At the same time, we can also voice out our request. "
Although Goran had made up his mind to leave, he still tried to persuade Harker on the surface.
"Of course I know!
Do you think I'm stupid? "
Huck snorted coldly and raised his hands up high. Then, he suddenly made a high-five gesture.
Goran laughed coldly in his heart when he saw the ugly gesture.
'You are not stupid, just stupid …'
Puk!
While Goran was still laughing coldly in his heart, a palm went through Harker's chest, blood gushing out and splashing all over Goran's face.
The hot blood splashed on his face, stunning Goran.
Dumbfounded, he watched as the hand slowly withdrew, watched as that stupid collaborator fell to the ground, and watched as an ordinary-looking man smiled at him.
"Y-You …"
Goran stuttered.
There were too many questions in Goran's heart at the moment.
However, Bloody Mary didn't give Goran the chance to explain, slashing Goran with its hand and knocking him out.
Before he passed out, Goran had no idea how Bloody Mary avoided the surveillance cameras under his control. He also did not understand why Bloody Mary was fine when it touched Harker.
Despite feeling stupid about his collaborator, Goran knew how troublesome Harker's ability was.
Harker's ability didn't just install bombs in a target's body through touch, it could even use the bombs to control the target. Although it wasn't effective against a metahuman, if someone touched the target, regardless of whether the target was a metahuman or not, the person would suffer the damage from the explosion.
Bloody Mary grabbed Goran and the spoils of war on the floor, frowning when it saw Harker's rapidly swelling body.
"Self destruct after death?
What a troublesome ability. "
As it spoke, Bloody Mary kicked the exploding body out of the window.
Then —
KABOOM!
Fire blazed in the air, followed by a deafening explosion.
The sudden explosion caused the people in the mall to panic immediately. The people in the food court were even more panicked and ran out.
In the shadows, Fire Raven and Frost Wolf, who had been waiting for a while, shone.
