The footsteps were getting closer.
However, when Kieran and Lawless saw who it was, they were stunned on the spot.
Although the man had changed out of his black robe into a black windbreaker and a round hat, the moment Kieran and Lawless saw him, they were sure that he was Broker.
"What the hell are you doing, Broker?"
Lawless asked bluntly as he looked at Broker who had changed into a new outfit.
Compared to the Broker in their memories, the current Broker gave them a weird feeling.
It was like a fox with chicken feathers on it, claiming to be a hen.
"Of course I'm here to lead the way.
At the same time, reminisce about the glory days of Old Strea Street! "
Broker said.
Kieran frowned hard at Broker's words.
Anyone could say that they were reminiscing about Old Strea Street.
Only Broker, who had relied on that incident to make his fortune and build up Laurence Street, made Kieran feel extremely awkward when he said that.
As for leading the way?
Kieran snorted disdainfully.
He was sure that Broker had an ulterior motive.
One needed to know that they were not going on a field trip, they were going to a nest of killer players.
Danger was almost certain.
There was only one reason why a cunning merchant like Broker would take such a risk: benefits!
This kind of behavior would bring great benefits to the other party!
Kieran was very sure of it.
Only then would Broker give up on communicating through PM and sending someone else to lead the way, both of which were much safer.
"What kind of task would require Broker's presence in order to complete? On top of that, he would be able to reap great benefits? "
Kieran wondered in his heart.
At the same time, he was also communicating with Lawless through PM.
Lawless agreed with Kieran's point of view.
However, similar to Kieran, Lawless had no idea what kind of benefits Broker was seeking for himself to take such a risk.
Kieran and Lawless were talking privately behind Kieran.
Broker was walking in front, as if he did not notice anything.
He did not stop talking.
"The assassination attempt I encountered earlier really left me with a lingering fear!"
"That's why I want to personally see what happens to those fellows. At the very least, I'll only be able to feel at ease when they're killed."
"Otherwise, I won't even be able to eat."
Said Broker.
Kieran and Lawless pouted when they heard Kieran's words.
The two of them were not three-year-old children. They would not believe such an excuse at all.
Since he still had lingering fears, he still dared to take the risk with them.
Since both of them hadn't gone through life and death with each other, it further proved that Broker had other motives.
At the same time, it also showed that the other party was quite confident.
Lawless: Careful, something's not right with this guy!
2567: Okay.
…
Lawless reminded Kieran again through a private message.
Both of them were even more vigilant as they followed Broker to a spacious place.
Looking at the fallen streetlights, the broken benches and the dried up fountain, Kieran could tell that this place used to be a public square or something similar.
However, after the players left, this place was like the other places in Old Strea Street, abandoned.
"There it is!"
Broker stood at the entrance, pointing at an independent six-storey building on the other side of the abandoned square.
"Where's Coll?"
Lawless asked again in order to be sure.
"At least that's what I've heard!
This way please! "
Broker said as he gestured for Kieran to go ahead.
"Not going to follow anymore?"
Lawless snorted coldly.
"I'm just a guide. Since we're about to reach our destination, I'll just watch from the side.
Oh right … "
"I hope both of you can come back safely!"
Broker said with a smile before retreating into the shadows beside him, almost blending into one with the shadows.
That kind of Transcendence level [Undercover] made Kieran squint his eyes.
However, what caught Kieran's attention was Broker's blessing at the end.
That blessing made Kieran feel extremely uncomfortable.
He could feel that Broker's last words seemed to be for both of them, but in fact, it was for him alone.
Although it was just a hunch without any proof, Kieran, who had been through a lot of dangerous situations, trusted his instincts.
On top of that, Broker who stopped at that particular moment gave Kieran a feeling that he was being watched.
Broker's leading seemed to be waiting for Kieran and Lawless to arrive at the six-storey building with his own eyes.
"There's something wrong there!"
Kieran thought unconsciously.
However, before Kieran could think further, a man appeared on top of the six-storey building further away.
The man's face was blurred out by the system, so Kieran couldn't see his face clearly.
All he could see was that the man was tall and buff, his skin tanned and his bare arms were muscular. His palms were wide and strong, and his knuckles were thick and strong.
When the man picked up the scrawny Coll, he only used his left index finger and thumb.
It was as if he was carrying a little chick.
The man obviously saw Kieran and Lawless. His empty right hand was raised to his neck, his thumb slowly moving over it.
Then, before Kieran and Lawless could react, he threw Coll down from the roof.
Bang!
Amidst the heavy falling noise, the clear noise of flesh and bone being crushed was heard.
Under the tremendous impact, Coll's body on the ground was instantly distorted.
Blood dyed the ground red in an instant.
"Coll!"
Lawless, who couldn't save Coll in time, shouted loudly in rage.
He was like a ferocious tiger coming down the mountain, dashing towards Coll.
Kieran wanted to raise his hand to stop Lawless, but it was too late.
"Shit!"
Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
When he saw Coll being thrown down from the roof, Kieran already knew what the man was trying to do.
He wanted to anger Lawless!
In fact, let alone Lawless who was Coll's best friend.
Even though Kieran had only met Coll once, he felt angry.
However, Kieran forced himself to calm down.
One of them had been blinded by rage, and if the other lost his cool, they would both be dead meat.
Kieran gripped the handle of the [Arrogant Word] box tightly and chased after Lawless.
His eyes were sizing up his surroundings.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
He didn't want to miss even the slightest bit of abnormality.
However, with his full concentration, Kieran didn't even notice how Lawless had disappeared.
A moment ago, Lawless was still in his sight.
The next moment, he was nowhere to be seen.
It was as if he didn't exist at all.
Kieran was stunned.
Right at that moment, a sharp air-breaking sound came from behind him.
