Chapter 294: worth wooing

Chapter 294 Worth Winning

"Stop him! Stop him!"

Viscount Harrington's exasperated voice came.

A tall and burly figure appeared directly in front of Chen Lun.

Through the thick scarf and wide-brimmed hat, Chen Lun could only see a pair of cold and dark eyes. Immediately, the tall bodyguard raised his hand and punched him.

The air in the area in front of him seemed to be compressed, a circle of steam gushed out from the man's elbow, and with a chirping sound, the iron fist flew fiercely towards Chen Lun's face.

"interesting."

Chen Lun laughed.

Boom!

He gently raised one hand, and easily received the iron fist in his palm.

The air flow dispersed, and the entire room made of iron sheets trembled for a moment.

"Uh!"

Viscount Harrington saw this scene with a shocked expression on his face, and he couldn't help but let out a strange cry from his throat.

Kaka!

Crunch—!

Chen Lun squeezed hard, and directly rubbed the bodyguard's fist to make a few fingerprints, and then pressed down, breaking his entire forearm in reverse. Immediately afterwards, he raised his leg and kicked, hitting the bodyguard's chest. The latter flew backwards with a bang, and hit the wall heavily, making a huge dent with a bang.

Chen Lun lowered his eyes and glanced at the severed arm that was torn off from the bodyguard. Some thick black liquid, like engine oil, sprayed out from the fracture, and countless precise gears and circuits were exposed in his sight.

'It turns out that the iron puppet is beside Viscount Harrington...it's just that it's too weak. '

Chen Lun showed a trace of doubt on his face.

The next second, the other heads of the Black Knife Brotherhood in the room surrounded them with solemn expressions, and the "bodyguard" whose arm was torn off also broke free from the wall and returned to the battle.

Viscount Harrington took the opportunity to run towards the door.

Woo!

The bodyguard punched again.

Its wide-brimmed hat fell off during the fight, revealing a shiny metal head, with several large rivets inlaid on its forehead and temples, extremely hideous. The eyes are a kind of glass material, dark and shiny, giving people a feeling of indifference and terror.

Chen Lun arrived first, carrying a silver cane, and hit the bodyguard's wrist with a single blow. With a bang, he broke it abruptly, and then threw several cards at the enemies of the Black Knife Brotherhood.

Chi Chi sounded endlessly, and the card throwing knives at this time were better than before. These low-sequence transcendents couldn't dodge at all, and were shot through the neck, waist and abdomen by the cards, and even had their hands and feet cut off.

For a while, howling and screaming came and went, and they all lost their fighting power and fell to the ground.

Bang!

Chen Lun picked up the silver cane, stabbed straight through the chest of the tall bodyguard, black engine oil gushed out from the wound, and its struggling movements gradually became slower, like rusty gears.

A few sparks burst out from the neck and shoulders, and finally froze.

Chen Lun threw out a few cards again with a blank face, and made up one by one, killing the members of the Black Sword Brotherhood who were severely injured on the ground.

After the kill prompts popped up one after another, he put his palm on the bodyguard.

【Extraordinary Object - Carpenter Puppet】

Item description: The creation produced by [B-level creepy thing-Hope Workshop], the material is mostly composite metal, with great strength and amazing defense. It is a rare good helper.

Chen Lun frowned.

‘It turns out that the iron puppet’s name is a craftsman puppet, and it is not the monster itself, but something created by the monster...’

He thought for a while, put the lost "life" craftsman puppet in front of him into the blood poem ring, and then turned his head to chase after Viscount Harrington.

Since the viscount brought the craftsman puppet with him to act as a bodyguard, he must know where the real opportunity is, where [B-level creepy thing-Hope Workshop] is.

‘The basic attributes of this crafting puppet are completely comparable to the Transcendents of Sequence 9, and even surpassed, and relying on the body of steel, even if two or three [butchers] besiege it, I am afraid it will not be able to take it down for a while...’

Chen Lun was thinking while driving.

'I hit the right spot and found an important clue directly...'

He walked back from the corridor and glanced in casually as he passed the window. The restaurant area on the lower floor was already in chaos. .

Many people fell to the ground and were trampled by the people behind.

Screaming and screaming, howling and drinking.

One after another.

The fire ignited, the host ran away early, and some blue vests were fighting the fire, completely ignoring the women who were locked in the cage. If no one cares about them, they will probably be burned to death or choked to death.

Chen Lun teleported and appeared in front of those blue vests.

They were startled at first, then looked up at the person who came, their expressions became extremely awed.

"Boss Duharu, yes... I'm sorry, we didn't know it would turn out like this, it's all that lunatic, he set fire on purpose..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Lun used [Extreme Beauty] to transform into the appearance of a skinny man, and shouted angrily.

"Don't worry about this place, first move the goods off the ship and arrange them at the dock... These are our property!"

"Okay... okay, boss."

The blue vests immediately nodded in response, and went to carry the iron cage one after another.

"But those guests are crowded in the passage, we can't get out for the time being..."

A blue vest hesitated.

At this time, several gunshots came, as well as continuous screams.

Chen Lun glanced behind him, and saw that some gentlemen had completely disregarded their image in order to survive, and they had a quarrel because of pushing and shoving, and they directly drew their guns and started shooting.

"Whoever dares to block the way, shoot directly."

Chen Lun said coldly.

"Yes, yes! We got it, boss!"

The blue vests were dripping with cold sweat.

For some reason, they felt that the boss at this moment was even more frightening.

Chen Lun turned and left, returned to the corridor, and then performed "air walk", flew directly out of the freighter, and searched for the whereabouts of Viscount Harrington across the sea.

Dozens of hundreds of members of the Blue Sail Gang discovered the chaos at this time and had already gathered at the pier. In the gangway area, there were seven or eight gentlemen and ladies falling down, most of them were killed by stray bullets, and a few survived serious injuries, but they were dying.

Chen Lun didn't sympathize with these guys, he just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

He quickly spotted Viscount Harrington, but frowned.

'died? '

Chen Lun saw the middle-aged man fell down in the dock area, not far from the freighter, with an inconspicuous dent on the back of his head, blood and brains flowing out.

'Killed by a stray bullet in the chaos...what an irony. '

He shook his head and landed beside Viscount Harrington's body.

The upper-class people who participated in the treasure hunt fled like refugees. The blue vests tried to maintain order, but they were shot inexplicably. The surroundings were in chaos. No one noticed that the boss behind the treasure hunt was dead.

Chen Lun is about to use the glove on his left hand [Moonlight in the Palm] to summon the soul of Viscount Harrington, and ask about the [Hope Workshop].

As a result, at this moment, three groups of black shadows came from the shadows and appeared in front of Chen Lun.

"Duharu, what happened?"

Two men and a woman showed their figures, and the leading man frowned and asked.

Chen Lun looked up at the three of them slowly with the face of a skinny man, mist flashed in his eyes.

‘The high-ranking assassins of the Brotherhood of the Black Knife...three black knives? '

There was a polite smile on his face.

"You guys came just in time."

"Ok?"

The expressions of the three black-knife killers suddenly changed. They sensed an unusual danger emanating from the man in front of them.

"He's not Duharu!"

"Retreat first..."

The three black knife killers were shocked, and their bodies stiffened as a conditioned reflex.

The "Duharu" in front of them appeared behind them at some point, almost sticking to the back of their heads, and calmly said two words:

"late."

Peacock City Shelter.

The branch here is just a humble two-story apartment.

"Team leader! There is urgent information!"

An investigator held a letter, strode to the desk, and handed it to a middle-aged man. There were several other men and women present, all of whom were the deputy team leaders of the shelter.

Before the investigator came, they seemed to be having a meeting, and their faces were very solemn.

"What's the rush?"

The man sitting on the leather office chair frowned and asked.

"It's the port of the Eastern District. A major accident occurred on the "Sea Treasure Hunt". Twelve high-ranking dignitaries were killed and more than 60 dignitaries were injured... It seems that someone attacked the auction site, which led to this incident."

"what?!"

The leader of the group, Amos, looked shocked and made a sound of surprise.

"What forces did it?! How will the Black Knife Brothers react?"

"Team leader, we don't know which faction is behind the action, but... the Brotherhood of the Black Knife has almost been wiped out..."

The investigator said in a dry voice.

"?!"

The team leader stood up directly, and the other deputy team leaders also stood up abruptly.

They looked shocked and looked at each other.

The Black Knife Brotherhood has three Black Knife Killers in Peacock City, all of whom are mid-sequence Transcendents. This is the information recorded in the shelter... and because of this, the shelter has nothing to do with them, letting these guys and Harrington The viscount conspired to do some human trafficking.

Even without the constraints of the History and Ritual Association, it would be difficult for the asylum to bring them to justice. Now, the news that the Brotherhood of the Black Knife was almost wiped out made these team leaders and deputy team leaders inexplicably excited.

As for the casualties of those high-ranking people, they didn't care much, and even felt that these people deserved to die.

"It's great news that those **** are finally dead!"

A female deputy team leader laughed loudly.

"I've endured them for a long time! During this time, I'm not in the mood to eat or sleep!"

"What we need to worry about now is what is the purpose of this strange and extraordinary force that suddenly appeared... The Madman School has always remained neutral. Every time we ask for help, they are indifferent, so it is probably not them. As for the History and Ritual Association, it is even more important. Impossible to shoot, they are eager to see our jokes."

Leader Amos said in a deep voice.

"Team leader, after investigation and interrogation, it seems that there were not a large number of strangers who attacked the freighter when the incident happened... Only traces of an intruder and the items left by this person were found at the scene."

The investigator said, pointing to the envelope in the leader's hand.

Amos and the rest of the deputy team leaders were breathless.

What does it mean?

One person toppled the Black Knife Brotherhood and destroyed the auction? !

What a joke!

Amos opened the envelope and saw a small stack of blood-stained playing cards inside, his expression froze suddenly, as if he had thought of something.

He quickly stuffed the cards back into the envelope.

"Hughley, Malcolm, and Susan... The three of you led teams to confirm the situation, and then sent someone to notify the security station to suppress the Blue Sail Gang and resettle the abducted women."

Amos gave instructions to the others.

The deputy team leaders agreed one after another, saluted and left in a hurry.

They all had joyful smiles on their faces, and the haze that had shrouded this period of time was swept away. He only wanted to kill and wipe out all the remnants of the Black Knife Brotherhood in Peacock City as soon as possible.

Wait until Amos is the only one left in the room.

He slowly sat down on the chair, took out the playing cards in the envelope again, and carefully looked at them one by one.

"Could it be him? That extraordinary man named 'Jack Speight'..."

In fact, the shelter knew the news on the second day after the circus entered Peacock City, but Amos had never had any contact with this "little famous" Mr. Jack.

Amos took out a secret letter from the hidden compartment under the cabinet and read it again.

This was sent by his immediate superior, the high-level executives of Wangcheng Asylum Headquarters. The content basically told him to keep an eye on a person named "Jack Speight" and report his actions during this period of time. .

Recently.

The "conservatives" and "radicals" inside the shelter were arguing, and this person was the most important trigger.

Since Rudolf Teka's identity was exposed, Mona's experience has received sympathy from many conservative high-ranking officials. Although she lost the backing of "teacher", but with her personality, talent and philosophy, she gained the appreciation of more big shots.

Mengna has become a rising star in the shelter, and has even been transferred back to Wangcheng headquarters to work.

Under her recommendation, the name Jack gradually came into the attention of high-level officials, and appeared on the list of candidates for the Imperial Jury.

It's just that this list has not yet been implemented, and the reason is the strong opposition from the "radicals".

"If he really did it, then he is indeed a strong man worth wooing... I need to sort out this information and report it up."

Amos had a smile on his face.
