Kieran was standing at an unknown street corner.
The streets of the big city were too complicated, it was impossible for Kieran to memorize them all since he was used to risking his life in the dungeon world.
In fact, even some players who liked to take notes would have a hard time memorizing tens of thousands of streets.
Especially when the city was still expanding.
Leaning on the wall of the street corner, Kieran was looking at the building not far away.
Fire Raven was combing its feathers on his shoulder.
Through Fire Raven's sight, Kieran was certain Black Robe had entered the 19-story building ten minutes ago.
And this building could be said to be heavily guarded.
Starting from the outer perimeter, there were three open sentries and five hidden sentries.
All of them occupied the best spots, allowing them to have a clear view of the building and its surroundings.
If the outside was like this, what would the inside of the building be like?
Kieran was even more vigilant than before.
Unlike in the dungeon world where he could roughly guess the abilities of the natives, inside the big city, facing the players who shuttled through different dungeon worlds, it was hard for Kieran to guess what kind of strange abilities he would run into.
Just like that Black Robe.
Kieran never thought a man could turn into a worm.
Of course, at the moment, Kieran was more concerned about Black Robe's pretentious act.
Through Fire Raven's surveillance, Kieran was sure Black Robe lured him here.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped multiple times along the way.
"You lured me here so that I can fight Broker's men?"
Kieran guessed.
Black Robe Rayerwent and Broker's mutually beneficial relationship didn't need to be verified anymore.
Black Robe's words were enough to explain everything.
However, there was one thing that exceeded the expectations of the Ten Great Supernovas, and that was … the result!
The result was obviously different from what Black Robe expected. That was why Black Robe brought Kieran here.
Black Robe wanted to take revenge on Broker.
He pushed his failure to others and comforted himself by saying it wasn't his fault, it was others that caused his failure.
Although this method was despised by others, it had a great psychological effect.
Black Robe, on the other hand, was not just like that. Faced with the fact that his organization was almost completely wiped out, he looked at his collaborator who was completely unscathed.
No one would feel good about it.
The jealousy in Black Robe's heart was obvious.
However …
Would Broker not be prepared for this?
Kieran, who had fought with that unscrupulous merchant more than once and knew what kind of person he was, was deeply suspicious.
"Hmm?"
Kieran, who was deep in thought, suddenly froze.
The sentries scattered around the building began to retreat.
The strange behavior made Kieran have a bad guess.
"Could it be …"
Kieran subconsciously looked back at the building.
Boom!
Just as Kieran turned around, the building burst into flames. The glass shattered under the shockwave, and flames pierced through the windows and shot up into the sky.
Then!
The entire building collapsed.
Kakroom!
The collapsed building brought up countless dust particles. Kieran quickly retreated a thousand meters back. Standing in the shadow that wasn't affected by the dust particles, Kieran squinted his eyes.
He had thought of many ways that Broker would deal with Black Robe, but he never thought that Broker would directly kill him.
Based on Kieran's speculations, the cooperation between the two of them must be built on the foundation of a contract.
The content of the contract could be roughly guessed as well.
It was nothing more than not hurting each other.
But now, Broker had killed Black Robe right away.
"Broker has a way to violate the contract?"
Kieran's heart skipped a beat.
Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the most reasonable explanation.
Then, Kieran instinctively thought of the big scene from last time, similar to this time, there weren't any cyber law enforcers.
"Not just the way to violate the contract, even the cyber law enforcers have the ability to influence the outcome?"
Kieran's brows were locked together when he came up with such a conclusion.
For Kieran who had become Broker's enemy, it wasn't any good news.
Kieran didn't want a bunch of cyber law enforcers to appear during the critical moment of his battle with Broker.
Souuu!
The air-breaking sound of clothes fluttering sounded.
Blacksmith slowly landed from the night sky.
"Here!"
Blacksmith glanced over the collapsed building further away and passed [Reverse Scar] to Kieran.
Kieran didn't know whether it was Kieran's illusion or not.
Kieran felt that Blacksmith was a little cold at that moment.
At the next moment, Kieran's feeling was verified.
Blacksmith wanted to leave after she passed him the [Reverse Scar].
"Wait!"
Kieran stopped her. When she turned around, Kieran pointed at the [Armor of Excellence] and [Crow's Black Feather] on him.
"I need someone to repair my equipment!
And the embedding of [Dark Nether Stone]! "
Kieran said.
"Follow me!"
Blacksmith took in a deep breath as if she had made up her mind to make up her mind.
"Of course, I have a small problem here that I need to rush for!"
Kieran briefly explained the curse dispeller.
"You need someone to guard the door …"
"Lawless will be more than willing!"
Blacksmith said as she walked towards the train station without stopping.
Her steps weren't big but they were extremely fast.
It was as if she was running away from Kieran.
Kieran raised a puzzled brow as he stood there.
"What happened?"
Kieran quickly chased after Blacksmith after recalling the incident and didn't find anything noteworthy.
…
99 Emma Street.
Kieran saw Lawless outside the small garden.
Not just Lawless, Hanses, Coll, Raven, and Ramont were there as well.
A few of them were either sitting or standing.
When they saw Kieran and Blacksmith, they greeted them one after another.
"Hey, 2567!"
Hanses, Coll, and Ramont greeted Kieran loudly.
As usual, Galen remained silent and taciturn.
As for Lawless, he was at a loss of what to do, which was rare.
"You don't have much time."
Blacksmith said before greeting the others. She turned around and went back into her room. The others looked at each other before standing up and walking around the street.
They knew very well that Kieran and Lawless had something to talk about.
Just like the question they had before.
Kieran looked at Lawless. His face was covered but his eyes didn't lie.
Kieran was sure Lawless was in a difficult situation.
He didn't mind enjoying the feeling of being in a difficult situation.
"Alright, alright!"
"I admit that I was deceived. I never thought the curse dispeller would be one of Black Robe's men. His loner personality was also a disguise, and I, who was once stimulated and loved to help loners, stepped right into the trap that he set up …"
Under Kieran's ruminating gaze, Lawless couldn't hold it anymore and opened his mouth.
His talkative nature was on full display at that moment.
Lawless didn't stop talking for a whole three minutes. When he was done, he took out a cigar and tossed it to Kieran. He lit one himself and sat down against the wall. He took a deep puff and spat it out.
