The Hounds were extremely fast.
Their ferocity was undeniable.
Especially under the leadership of the Elite Hound, the strength of this team of hounds was a notch higher.
The three Hounds jumped on the 'Messenger' who was hiding at the corner of the street and started to tear him apart. Blood and flesh splattered all over.
"Save … Ugh!"
The moment the 'Messenger' wanted to speak, one of the Hounds bit his throat and tore it apart. The 'Messenger's' throat was completely torn but he didn't fall.
The 'Messenger' who suffered a fatal blow to a common man clutched his throat and turned around, trying to run away.
Only then did he suddenly realize that the two hounds had blocked his path of retreat.
What made him feel even more despair was that an even bigger hound had appeared behind him.
This bigger Hound didn't growl like the other Hounds.
It didn't even make a sound.
But the more it behaved, the more terrified the 'Messenger' became.
A dog that bites doesn't bark.
The 'Messenger' knew this very well.
If it was a vicious dog, then it would be … killing and eating people!
"Let me go!
I'll tell you … "
Unfortunately, the Elite Hound didn't give the 'Messenger' the chance.
With a single order, all five Hounds jumped on the 'Messenger'.
The heavily injured 'Messenger' was bitten into pieces two minutes later.
The Elite Hound showed a sense of mockery when it saw the enemy's body being torn into pieces.
It wasn't the first time it saw a lousy trick like poisoning an envelope.
But it was the first time it saw an idiot who dared to do such a thing after knowing his master kept a bunch of Hounds.
Didn't the Hound know they were sensitive to poison?
The Elite Hound brought the rest of the Hounds back to Kieran's side with light and quick steps.
"Go wash it at the back door, don't bring the blood back to the restaurant."
Kieran gave the order and kicked the venom-filled letter into the sewers beside the building.
The Elite Hound brought the five Hounds to the back door.
The back door was an open space. Originally, it was used by the hotel to park the car, and the water pipe on the side was also for the convenience of car washing. Now, the open space had become a place for stray cats and dogs to bask in the sun.
The water pipe and the pool below became the bathing pool for the dogs and stray cats and dogs.
The stray cats and dogs that were basking in the sun, except for the few that had just joined, fled quickly after the evil dogs appeared. The rest just looked at the evil dogs with slight vigilance.
When he saw the Elite Hound sitting beside the water pipe and using its paw to open the faucet, his vigilance slowly dissipated.
As the water flowed, the dogs gathered around in an orderly manner and washed themselves.
It was obvious that this was not the first time the Hounds had come here to wash.
Other than the initial chaos, he had gotten used to it as time went by.
After washing up, the dogs shook their fur and returned to their respective posts.
The Elite Hound turned off the tap, opened the kitchen door, and went into the dining room. It rubbed Starbeck in a flattering manner before curling up beside Kieran's feet.
"A bunch of greedy fellows."
"Don't worry."
Kieran said to Starbeck.
Starbeck nodded.
Starbeck had seen too many greedy fellows in his life.
Therefore, Starbeck didn't even care what happened to these people, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, pots and pans were soon heard.
Kieran squinted his eyes and looked outside the door.
Song Shi Family's car appeared at the alley entrance, and when the young lady of Song Shi Family got off the car, she smelled blood.
The chauffeur vigilantly went over to check the place before he came back and reported to the young lady.
"Small fry, you guys deal with them."
The young lady of Song Shi Family waved her hand without being concerned.
As for why these small fry had their eyes on Kieran?
The young lady of Song Shi Family knew what was going on.
It was because these bastards knew Kieran had gotten his hands on the spoils of war that Ring City was going to use as bait.
A dozen or so good magic tools were nothing to a big family.
But to these bastards, it was worth the risk.
Unfortunately …
These bastards obviously picked the wrong opponent.
Trying to deal with Royan?
Song Shi shook her head and walked into the restaurant.
"Can I order now?"
Song Shi asked without hesitation.
"It's not opening hours yet."
Kieran replied.
"Can't you make an exception?
Why don't I help you find those bastards and you can ask Roye to cook something nice for me? "
Song Shi suggested.
"Nothing much."
Kieran shook his head.
Those bastards were just a bunch of scattered mystics who were blinded by greed, they were even worse than common Witchcraft practitioners, they were just holding on to the "what if?"
Kieran didn't need to care about these kinds of people.
There were too many of them, they were like weeds, it was hard to track them down.
So, as long as a bunch of them came, they would be killed.
One day, all of them would be wiped out.
Kieran was very confident in the Elite Hound and the five Hounds.
"What a stingy man.
"I hate talking to men like you the most."
You are so calculative about every ounce. "
Song Shi gestured behind her as she spoke.
The chauffeur and one of the bodyguards from Song Shi Family, who had been watching the scene, moved out right away.
The chauffeur took out a box from the trunk of the car.
Following the chauffeur's steps, the rustling of the coins in the box allowed Kieran to have an accurate guess.
200 Crossing Gold Coins.
A decent profit.
Since he needed Crossing Gold Coins, exchanging ten items and equipment that he had no use for Crossing Gold Coins was the best choice for him, especially since the price wasn't low.
Based on Kieran's understanding of the prices, the items and equipment could be exchanged for 180 to 220 gold coins.
200 gold coins was the middle price.
If Kieran wanted to maximize the value of the items and equipment, he would have to spend a lot of time.
To Kieran, who was always short on time, it wasn't a good choice.
"I've seen those things before.
These are more or less … "
"Deal."
Song Shi repeated Mian Yi's words but before she could finish, Kieran interrupted her.
Song Shi was stunned.
"What did you say?
I said deal. "
Kieran repeated.
Song Shi furrowed her pretty brows.
Song Shi started to notice how stingy Kieran was.
He didn't give her food before this.
He didn't give her food during the Battle of Winter Night either.
And he didn't give her food just now.
How could this bastard be so easy to talk to?
Could it be …
Suddenly, a thought popped up in Song Shi's mind.
"Do you have some thoughts about me?"
Song Shi said loudly.
Before Kieran could react, she continued.
"I'll tell you!
"Stop your wishful thinking!"
"It's impossible for you!"
No, but if you can bring Roye along when you marry into the family, I … I can do it too! "
In the end, Song Shi's voice started to stutter and her face started to blush.
Her family had high hopes for Kieran.
His identity as the reincarnation of the God of Slaughter was very attractive to Song Shi's family and after the sharp discovery of Viktor's scheme in the Battle of Winter Night, it raised the evaluation of Kieran even higher.
If it wasn't for her parents calling the shots in the family, the so-called elders would have resorted to some means to force her to marry into the family.
However, even with her parents in front of her, Song Shi was still very concerned about her marriage.
What if her parents arranged it themselves when they were of age?
After all, she would have to spend the rest of her life together.
Otherwise, why would she go to the place where her parents met?
Wasn't it because she wanted to find a good candidate to marry into the family?
Kieran, of course, was out of the question.
Even if everyone in the family had high hopes for him, it wasn't what she wanted.
But Starbeck was a good candidate!
It was just that her family didn't have high hopes for Starbeck.
But if Kieran married into the family and brought Starbeck along, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
It would satisfy both her family's needs and her own!
The young lady of Song Shi Family was impressed by her own quick wits.
Kieran, on the other hand, looked completely dark.
"F * ck off!"
A single word was enough to tell Song Shi what Kieran's attitude was.
Huh?
Song Shi was caught off guard by the sudden reaction.
"Can't I?"
Song Shi Family's young lady looked at Kieran with teary eyes.
"F * ck off!"
Kieran said in a firm tone.
If it wasn't for the box of Crossing Coins on the table, Kieran would have taught Song Shi the meaning of the kick of death.
"Royan, you should really think about it!
Song Shi Family is much stronger and wealthier than you think, if you … "
Song Shi obviously didn't want to give up.
She wanted to continue persuading Kieran, telling him the truth and stating the stakes, but the moment the words escaped her mouth, the curtain of the kitchen was lifted up.
Starbeck walked out.
He looked calm and had a smile on his face.
However, when she saw Starbeck, Song Shi's heart skipped a beat.
"Good day, dear customer.
It's not our opening hours yet.
"Could you please come back later?"
Song Shi instinctively stood up and nodded repeatedly at Starbeck's gentle question.
"Okay, okay."
I'll be back at night. "
Song Shi then wanted to walk out of the restaurant.
"Wait!"
Starbeck said.
"What else?"
Song Shi turned around, her body stiff.
"We are not a black market.
"Since you've accepted the money, please wait at home tonight."
We'll send someone to deliver the goods to your house. "
Starbeck smiled warmly.
Song Shi felt like a little white flower appeared in front of her eyes.
The little white flower then swayed in the wind and turned into a man-eating flower that blotted out the sky.
There was no roar.
There was no angry roar.
It just looked at you quietly.
Don't speak.
Don't move.
Or else …
I'll eat you!
Song Shi stumbled out of the door as she was still in a daze.
The moment she stepped out, the wind blew and she felt chills all over her body.
It was then that Song Shi realized her body was drenched in cold sweat without her realizing it. On top of that. Fear rose from the bottom of her heart.
What happened?
What happened?
Song Shi asked herself.
Am I afraid of Roye?
No!
No way!
Roye is so harmless!
Royan!
That's right, it must be Royan!
That damn bastard!
Not only did he occupy Roye, he even threatened me with his presence!
That bastard!
Song Shi stomped her feet angrily.
She didn't have the courage to return to the restaurant, running back to her car with her tail between her legs.
As the engine roared, the car drove away from the alleyway.
"Did … Did I scare Song Shi?"
Starbeck was stunned. He shrunk his neck and looked at Kieran in fear, his hands uncontrollably grabbing Kieran's shirt around his shoulders.
"No.
"I was the one who told her to get lost."
"Go cook."
I'm hungry. "
Kieran tapped Starbeck's hand.
"Em.
It'll be ready soon. "
Starbeck nodded with a smile and strode back to the kitchen.
Kieran wasn't surprised when he saw the curtains drawn down.
Given Starbeck's wealth, it wasn't strange for him to buy some equipment and items that exceeded the dungeon limit in the big city.
As for anger?
Anyone who ended up as a dowry would be angry, right?
That young lady of Song Shi Family really picked the wrong opponent.
Kieran didn't care that Song Shi was intimidated by Starbeck.
Between Starbeck and Song Shi, which side should he stand on?
Was there even a need to choose?
Starbeck was a million times more important than Song Shi.
Kieran knew it in his heart.
However, Kieran had his own speculations about why Song Shi Family sent this young lady to Kieran's house for business and not the more suitable butler, Mian Yi.
Song Shi wasn't an idiot.
Be it strength or intellect, she far surpassed common men.
But she was protected by her family too well.
Most of the time, she acted on her own whims.
Such a person was not suitable for business.
Quite the opposite, Mian Yi took care of everything.
Under normal circumstances, Mian Yi would be the one to handle the matter, but now it was Song Shi.
Then …
"Did the Song Shi Family find Victor's trail?"
Kieran thought in his mind.
Other than that, Kieran couldn't think of any other possibilities at the moment.
However, Kieran was a little surprised by Victor's appearance in Ai City.
Was it a coincidence?
Or?
Kieran looked up from his thoughts and snapped his fingers.
Pak!
Bloody Mary appeared right after the snap.
"At your service, my boss."
I need you to keep an eye on Song Shi Family, contact me if there's anything unusual. "
It was hard to locate Victor, who had meticulously hidden himself.
However, it wasn't hard to locate the members of Song Shi Family.
Given Bloody Mary's abilities, it was a piece of cake for it.
"Yes, boss."
Bloody Mary then vanished after saying that.
Kieran stood up from the sofa and stretched his body. The aroma from the kitchen was getting heavier.
He knew it was time for dinner.
…
Victor tightened the down jacket on his body but it was useless. The parts below his calves were soaked in the dirty water and lost all feeling.
On top of that, the coldness was spreading from the numbness.
His body was getting colder and colder, Victor knew his body wouldn't last much longer.
He might face death at any moment.
But he had no other choice.
This was the place he had to come to.
All he hoped was that the means he left outside could confuse enough people.
If he had time to get his hands on that …
The core of [Philosopher's Stone]!
