The sun shone on the misty streets.
Zi
The mist that was about to disperse was giving off a thick dampness.
It made the people walking on the streets feel even more uncomfortable.
It was especially so for the patrolmen and bounty hunters who had been searching for a whole night. The dew and mist had already soaked their clothes. It was cold and sticky, making them very uncomfortable.
They had not slept for the whole night, so they were highly concentrated. Most of them were tired and sleepy, but even so, they kept their eyes wide open, searching for any suspicious people.
When they found nothing the whole night, they knew that this was the most important moment.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find any traces of Kieran and Larry.
Even with Larry, Kieran still relied on his - Level Intuition to avoid danger and seek benefits. Whenever the patrolmen and bounty hunters made a move, Kieran would notice them and easily avoid them.
Riley had also played a significant role in this.
As an information broker, Larry was familiar with all the streets and alleys of the city, like a living map.
Of course, Larry's role was far more than that.
The secret information in Larry's head saved Kieran a lot of time.
If not for Larry, Kieran would never have thought that the underground king of the city would live in a barber shop.
His profession to the public was that of a barber.
The barber shop in front of them was a small shop facing the street. There was a door and a window that allowed people to enter and exit the shop.
There were some advertisements pasted on the window.
It looked exactly the same as the cobbler's shop and the general store.
There was nothing special about the barber and the owner of the shop.
He was a middle-aged man who was a little chubby, not tall, and had a kind face.
When Kieran and Larry walked in, the man was shaving the customers and greeting them with a smile.
"Do you two need a haircut?
Or a shave? "
His smile and greeting made him look like a real barber. If it wasn't for the dozens of knife-like gazes that were scanning him from the moment he entered the shop, he would not have believed him. Kieran almost believed him.
Kieran could already imagine what would happen if someone tried to lay a hand on the seemingly kind barber shop owner.
He would probably be beaten into a sieve in an instant.
Maybe even. Kieran guessed that the cobbler's shop and the general store were all owned by the barber shop owner.
Even the customers who frequented the shop had similar identities.
As for the barber shop?
Kieran heard at least five breathing sounds behind the wall and behind the curtain of the washroom.
And. On top of that, there was a buff man on the chair.
The man's face was smeared with white foam and his eyes seemed to be closed, enjoying the hairdresser's service. Kieran was sure that if anything happened, the man would jump up and block the hairdresser behind him.
Very safe!
It looked like an ordinary street shop, but it was the enemy's headquarters.
"F * ck, f * ck, we need help!"
Larry said nervously, as per their agreement.
Larry said nervously, as per his promise with Kieran. If Kieran had not been standing beside him, Larry would have crawled on the floor in front of the GG.
Just like what Larry had said, he had always been subservient to those who were stronger than him.
In Larry's eyes, boss G was unparalleled power.
"Excuse me, sir, what did you say?"
"I don't understand!"
The barber looked confused.
"Boss G, I know you have your rules …"
"Since you know my rules, what gave you the courage to come here?"
Larry wanted to say something. But he was interrupted by the barber … No, boss G.
A moment ago, he had been kind and friendly, but the next moment, he had become ferocious and scary. His face was still the same, but his aura had changed drastically.
His eyes, which should have been smiling, had turned cold.
He had become indifferent to others.
He had looked down on everything.
The knife that was used to shave the customer seemed to be bleeding.
It started with a few drops of blood, and then it turned into a tide of blood.
Larry was instantly drowned by the tide. He staggered back in fear. If it wasn't for Kieran's support, he would have fallen to the ground.
Even so, his face was pale, and he was panting heavily.
Kieran glanced over the battlelog that had appeared in his vision.
He couldn't help but look at the boss G in astonishment.
He had never thought that the boss could create such an effect with just his aura.
However, Kieran's astonishment was fleeting.
After all, compared to the aura from the bronze coffin, the boss G's aura might be surprising, but it was nothing to worry about.
It was like looking at the ripples on the surface of a lake after witnessing the raging waves.
The difference was obvious.
Kieran looked at Larry, who was still in a state of shock. He took a step forward and shielded Larry behind him. According to their original plan, Kieran should have waited for Larry to explain his intentions before stepping forward and using the chips in his hand to gain the upper hand. However, the boss G's sudden burst of aura had messed up their plan.
Kieran looked at the boss G's indifferent and condescending eyes. He had reason to believe that this was the effect that the boss G had wanted.
The boss was used to being domineering, so he would not give up the upper hand.
Besides, the boss G seemed to have them under his thumb.
"Since you've come here to ask for my help, you must have some chips in your hands.
I like to do anything that can make Sphendix suffer. "
"Hand over your bargaining chips. If I'm satisfied and you offer your loyalty, I'll let you live."
The boss G's words were filled with charity, confirming Kieran's suspicions.
This was not what Kieran wanted.
Kieran shook his head.
"We want to work together!
Not to enslave you! "
Kieran said calmly.
Kieran knew very well what the old man was talking about by "surviving".
"Work together?
What right do you have? With the chips in your hands?
Or the fact that you took care of Sphendix's men? Or that you really thought you could kill Kailuark the Executioner? "
The boss G looked at Kieran and laughed out loud.
His expression was one of amusement.
It was as if what Kieran had done was worthless in his eyes.
"You know what we're worth, boss G!
"My bargaining chips are far more than you can imagine!"
Kieran's tone was as calm as ever.
The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Since he could not get any more information, Kieran decided to stick to one point: chips.
It was as if Boss G knew what they were here for.
Since he had chosen to meet them, he must have taken the chips seriously. He was not as indifferent as he seemed.
"Oh, then you'll have to show me what you have!
Don't you dare tell me that Sphendix has anything to do with the wild beasts eating people. I already know about it!
"Furthermore, to a certain extent, Lerner is also one of my people!"
The boss G spat out word by word.
His attitude was getting more and more aggressive. He raised his hand and waved.
All the men who had been lying in ambush walked out and pointed their guns at Kieran and Larry.
Their gazes were as sharp as knives, and they were getting colder and colder.
The burly man who was pretending to be a guest stood next to the loser.
Kieran's face did not change, but his heart was shocked.
It was not because of the sudden change in the situation.
He had known about these men from the start.
What shocked Kieran was the boss G's words.
Based on the information left behind by Leonard in the newspaper, Kieran had come up with a hypothesis. The wild beasts eating people had something to do with the item in Leonard's hand, and the item had been taken back by Sphendix Corporation. Based on that, Kieran deduced that the wild beasts eating people had something to do with Sphendix Corporation.
Based on his initial thoughts, Kieran wanted to use this hypothetical relationship to gain her trust and make her believe that he knew more than she did.
However, it was not going to work now.
The boss had found out about this out of his expectations.
"The enemy must have planted someone in Sphendix, and this person must have access to the upper echelons of Sphendix Corporation!"
That's the only way to find out about this extremely secretive thing! "
Kieran immediately thought of that.
It could not have been Leonard though.
As for the fact that Leonard was one of Sphendix's men?
Kieran did not believe it at all.
That was just a verbal attack, and it was more of a 'trick'.
However, seeing through the boss' intentions would not help Kieran at all.
He had fallen into a difficult situation because of the accident.
What should he do?
Kieran's mind was spinning rapidly.
