The old drunkard Yassen Howell was very fast.
Gounières was able to keep up with him easily.
Yassen's steps were very light, and it was obvious that he was very familiar with the surrounding terrain.
As they kept moving forward, the noise gradually faded away, and the depths of the alley became darker and quieter.
In less than two minutes, the two of them were already deep in a dark alley.
"Young man, I haven't asked for your name yet."
Yassen Howell, who was walking in front, seemed to think that they were far away from the noise and that no one would notice them, so he slowed down and asked.
"Jack Sparrow."
"Nice name."
As soon as he said that …
A black shadow flashed.
Hum!
A sharp blade instantly cut through the air and slashed at Gounières. It was unbelievably sharp and fast.
However …
In the next moment, Yassen Howell, who had attacked, was fixed in the air half a meter above the ground like a statue.
He was like a floating statue.
Yes, Yassen Howell wanted to kill Gounières with a single strike the moment he jumped.
Unfortunately, he was too weak.
Transcendent Rank-2 was probably very strong among ordinary Transcendent sailors.
However, in front of Gounières, Yassen Howell might not be able to block a single Fire Arrow Spell.
Besides, on the way here, Gounières had secretly placed a few puppet strings on Yassen Howell as a precaution.
If Gounières didn't have some things to figure out, this old drunkard named Yassen Howell would have been torn apart by Gounières's level-5 spell, the puppet strings, the moment he attacked.
Looking at this "Yassen Howell" who was easily controlled by him, Gounières pondered.
"Old Qiao Mu wouldn't send me to the muzzle of his enemy."
"It seems that I've got the wrong person," Gounières said to himself.
Gounières was very vigilant when it came to finding people.
Gounières couldn't confirm Yassen Howell's identity with just a name.
After all, Gounières's name was fake. If Yassen Howell said he was Yassen Howell, he might not be so sure.
"You've got the right person. It was just a small test. You passed." Yassen Howell, who was fixed in the air, squeezed out a smile.
Gounières shrugged.
"However, the killing intent earlier, I truly felt it."
"The work you're talking about, don't tell me you're going to kill me and steal my money bag!"
"No." Yassen Howell's voice was trembling, but he still maintained a certain level of calmness.
"I said that it was just a test was just a test was just a misunderstanding." Yassen Howell's face started to twist, and a trace of fear even appeared on his face.
He could feel that the invisible thing that was controlling his body was pulling at his body. The force was so strong that he didn't have the slightest strength to resist.
He knew he had run into a tough nut. If he didn't handle it well, he might die here today.
"But that's what I think."
"So … you can die peacefully!" Gounières moved his finger.
Yassen Howell, who was fixed in the air, raised his arm and bent it unnaturally. Then, he pressed the short knife against his chin.
It was an alloy weapon forged from ordinary steel and extraordinary black iron.
This old man was so poor that this weapon was probably the most valuable weapon he had.
"No …" Yassen Howell tried his best to beg for mercy.
However, he couldn't move at all. He couldn't even make a sound.
Yassen's method was so strange that it was beyond his imagination.
"Puchi!"
The scimitar stabbed into his brain through his chin.
Drip … drip … drip …
Blood dripped from the scimitar and soon formed a small stream of blood that flowed out.
Gounières didn't want to touch such low-quality blood.
After struggling for a moment, Yassen Howell died in midair, suspended by the puppet's strings.
Gounières turned around and looked at the entrance of the alley.
He didn't know when, but at the entrance of the alley.
A man in his forties, wearing an old jacket and a sailor hat, was standing there calmly.
"If you don't want to die, I suggest you get lost. I'm not in a good mood right now," Gounières said coldly.
"You're looking for Yassen Howell?"
The man standing at the entrance of the alley didn't leave. Instead, he asked with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Are you saying you're Yassen Howell?"
The man spread his hands. "You probably won't believe me even if I say I am. May I know who introduced you?"
Gounières said softly after thinking about it.
"An old demon hunter who's been through hundreds of battles."
"Hmm … Is it Old Qiao Mu?" the man asked after thinking for a moment.
Gounières narrowed his eyes. Gounières felt like he might have met the right person.
"His full name?"
"Qiao Erick," the man replied bluntly.
"What about his disciple?"
"Are you talking about that demon hunter girl with decent talent? Hmm … I think she's called Diana or something. Her personality is very likable. As for whether it's her name or not, I don't remember clearly. "
"You can't expect me to remember the name of every person I meet!" The man spread his hands again.
"Fine!"
It was only at this time that Gu Nie more or less believed that the other party should be the main character called Yassen Howell that Old Qiao Mu wanted him to find.
"My apologies, Mr. Yassen Howell. I just met a swindler. I hope you can forgive me."
Yassen Howell looked at the dead man who seemed to have the same name as him and said softly, "It's never wrong to be careful. There are many old swindlers like him in the docks."
"If there's enough time, Old Qiao Mu should bring you to me."
"The last time we met, Old Qiao Mu said he wanted to meet me."
"I think they should be at sea dealing with the undead of the sea by now, right?"
"You know Old Qiao Mu quite well," Gounières said softly.
"Old Qiao Mu is a pitiful person." Yassen Howell shook his head.
"Back then, Old Qiao Mu hunted down a group of evil witches who were wreaking havoc everywhere and offended the evil witches organization."
"When Old Qiao Mu returned home, his wife who was five months pregnant, his seven-year-old daughter, and his five-year-old son all died at home. Their corpses had already rotted away."
"The evil witches' mocking words were written on the wall: 'Your hunt will eventually backfire on you.'"
"Ever since then, Old Qiao Mu changed. Whenever she knew where dark creatures appeared, she would impatiently rush over as soon as possible."
"This time, I heard that the undead of the sea are very fierce, and there are a lot of powerful undead."
"Even the devil leaders and devil lords have killed a few pirate groups that aren't small."
"Many demon hunters have died at the hands of those powerful undead and devils."
"I really hope he can return safely from this trip. That way, we can have a drink together again," Yassen Howell said.
Gounières's eyes twitched when he heard this.
"Can you not raise flags like that?"
