The funds used to select the current mayor of You Kexin were basically all secretly supported by the gangs. The first thing the mayor did after he took office was to promote his trusted subordinates in the police station.
This method was more or less instructed by the ten elders.
This was also the main reason why the gang members could do whatever they wanted in You Kexin City.
Even if they caused a huge ruckus, there were many ways to cover up this matter. They could even beautify the gang members' crazy pursuit and push all the blame to the vicious criminals.
That night was not a peaceful one. Even though many citizens' lives and properties were harmed, under the influence of money, it did not cause much of a stir.
On the contrary, the photos and videos on the internet caused a group of night owls to have a heated discussion.
The common point in their discussion was that they did not care who the corpse was. They only cared about what the gangs did.
In the unfinished building, the candlelight flickered.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the outside and extinguished the two candles not far from the entrance.
"Is the Lunar Beast strong?" Finks asked.
"Not very strong," Feitan said.
"Very weak," Red Bamboo said.
"I forgot," Little Drop said.
"Just so-so," Flying Hair said.
In response to Finks's question, the four members who had fought with the Lunar Beast gave their own answers.
"Then would Franklin and the Swordsmen have been killed by the Lunar Beast?" Finks asked again.
Other than the new members of the exploration team, the old members who were familiar with the abilities of Franklin and the Swordsmen did not think that the Lunar Beast had the ability to kill them.
Even if the Lunar Beast was selected from the top ten strongest gang members in the world …
"If they're not strong enough, it's not impossible. Moreover, the bodies are in the hands of the mafia, and the mafia has clearly declared that they killed Franklin and Chivalrous Knight." Flying Hair curled his lips.
What Flying Hair said was the truth. Therefore, there was no point in dwelling on this question.
In terms of the mission, they lost two members and did not get a single auction item.
This was the most unsuccessful mission since the establishment of the exploration team.
Regardless of whether Franklin and the Swordsmen were killed by the Lunar Beasts or not, it was definitely related to the Mafia. All he had to do was to avenge them.
The death of Franklin and the Swordsmen did not cause much of a stir in the exploration team. However, the old members of the exploration team wanted to take revenge for them.
Not willing to waste any more time on this question, Finks looked at Culolo and changed the topic to another suspicious point. He said, "The fact that the gang moved the auction item ahead of time means that the gang knew about our actions beforehand."
As he spoke, Finks looked at the surrounding members and said coldly, "Then how did they get the news? Did one of us leak the secret? Or perhaps … "
Feitan looked up and continued, "Woking, Nobunaga, and Machi?"
Finks nodded and said calmly, "Yes, I'm leaning towards the latter."
After hearing the conversation between Feitan and Finks, the old members' expressions slowly became serious. The new members did not know the three names that Feitan mentioned, so they were confused.
Unconsciously, all the members looked at Culolo who was sitting on the rock.
Facing everyone's gaze, Culolo's expression was calm.
From a personal point of view, he did not think that Machi and the other two would do that. However, the first thing that came to his mind was Law's figure.
There was too little information to draw a useful conclusion.
If the Swordsmen were here, he could be responsible for collecting information, or Machi's intuition …
Culolo, who was deep in thought, did not immediately respond to the members present.
After a while, he calmly said, "The mafia knew about our plan in advance, this is an undeniable fact. However, the mafia's response is very abnormal."
"If they received information in advance, they would know that a top bandit group would be coming, then the security would be tighter. However, the guests who attended the auction did not know, and they did not bring any weapons."
"With the mafia's way of doing things, since they threw out the bait, it would not be strange for them to fill the auction with bombs. Moreover, the lunar beasts were not guarding the building, and the timing of their appearance was too slow."
"Therefore, my conclusion is that the mafia knew that someone would attack the underground auction, but they did not know that the people who would come were us."
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone provided the mafia with inaccurate information. However, would the provider be Machi or any of us?"
"What kind of reason and attitude would the mafia's higher-ups have to be willing to believe the information provided by an outsider? And what benefits would the person who leaked the information get from the mafia? "
"It's pointless to dwell on these."
"There is only one thing we need to do next."
"That is to find the auction items that have been moved, then take them all, and kill everyone!"
Ku Luoluo's calm tone was tinged with a rare trace of cold killing intent.
Hearing Culolo's words, the members of the exploration team could not help but release a killing intent.
The exploration team thought that the lunar beasts would all come out, so they did not investigate the cause of Franklin and the Swordsmen's deaths.
After all, there were ten lunar beasts. Excluding the four that Feitan and the others killed, there was a high possibility that Franklin and the Swordsmen each faced three lunar beasts.
From the perspective of the exploration team, this was not a problem. However, in reality, there were only four lunar beasts that appeared.
This was because the mastermind behind the underground auction was actually hoping for a fluke. Although Owl used its spatial ability to move all the auction items a few hours in advance, they did not let him leave immediately.
Although they did not know who the attacker was, they only strengthened their security, but all the lunar beasts were stationed near the Semetari Building.
In the mastermind's plan, if the security was able to eliminate the potential danger, then they could order Owl to move all the auction items back and let the underground auction continue.
If it did not work, they could make the next step after knowing the attacker's identity and strength.
However, the security forces set up in the underground auction house were destroyed in a short period of time.
Knowing the attacker's strength, in order to ensure the safety of the auction items, more than half of the lunar beasts escorted Owl to a safe place, while the other half went to delay the attacker.
However, the lunar beasts that transported the auction items did not expect the attacker to be so strong. When they returned, the lunar beasts that were responsible for blocking and delaying the attacker were all killed.
What surprised them even more was that two of the attackers were killed by an unknown person.
The gang did not reveal this, and through the spider symbol on the corpse, they knew the attacker's identity was a notorious top bandit group.
Therefore, after confirming the identity of the enemy, the underground auction would still be held as scheduled. However, this time, the gang would set up a stronger security, strong enough to resist or even eliminate the exploration team.
The ten old men immediately threw a lot of money. First, they commissioned a famous killer who mainly beat up the enemy's family, and then increased the reward for the exploration team.
Whether it was the gang or the exploration team, both sides did not really realize the existence of a third party. The former thought that the enemy of the enemy was a friend, so they did not thoroughly investigate. The latter was completely unaware.
Even if the figure of Law inexplicably appeared in Culolo's mind, in the absence of persuasion, he would not easily come to a conclusion.
If he had Machi's intuition to assist him, then the result would be different.
When dawn was about to break, in the Vegeta Hotel.
Kurapika sat on the sofa in the room and did not sleep all night.
He personally killed a member of the exploration team, but he did not feel the slightest joy.
At six o 'clock in the morning, Law woke up and found that Kurapika was still sitting on the sofa. He could not help but raise his eyebrows.
"Go to sleep."
