Volume 1 Chapter 30 Manhattan
"Yes, I heard that a commissioned mission was sent recently, and some unsuspecting adventurers came to inquire, so there will be adventurers at the door of the murderous nightclub today, and there are not too many adventurers who are usually there, most of them are staring at Miss Isa's subordinates. Manhattan said to Kane.
"Do you know anything about the mission that just been released? Kane was now confused and asked Manhattan.
"I heard that it was a named commissioned mission, and the team of adventurers entrusted to it seems to be your black thief group. As for the type of mission, it seems to be a guard mission, but the level of the entrusted mission is not high, and it's just a B-level mission, but the reward is very generous. Manhattan said to Kane.
"Where did you hear all this?" Kane asked, looking at Manhattan, a little confused.
"I heard from Sheehan's gang that yesterday they went into the murderous nightclub. "Oh, by the way, that mission has a three-day time limit, and if the date is over, the mission will become an unnamed mission, and anyone can take that task at that time, and today happens to be the third day. ”
Kane thought of what the man in the black cloak had said, "If you don't take it, I can still commission other adventure parties." Then he frowned again.
"Do you have a way to get into the Murder Club? I want to go in and take that mission. Kane asked as he looked to Manhattan next to him.
"Uh...... There is a solution, but it is not good for you. Manhattan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Just take me there. Kane didn't hesitate and said directly to Manhattan.
Manhattan walked Kane through the door of the murderous nightclub, where it was still crowded, many people waited, hoping to be in the crowd, to be glimpsed by Miss Isa, and then to get her favor, although this is tantamount to a dream, but they still choose to do it. However, the guards at the door of the murderous nightclub blocked them at the door.
"Manhattan, why are they so fanatical about pursuing your former fiancée?" Kane suddenly thought of the question.
"This ......" Kane's statement clearly touched Manhattan's heart. He wasn't in a particularly good mood and it was even worse, but he still answered Kane's question: "It's because Miss Isa's father, Count Lucius, announced something about Miss Isa's recruitment of a husband." As long as anyone can get Miss Isa's favor, he will be able to become the son-in-law of Count Lucius, and he will also be able to get knighthood and a smooth path in politics. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see the purpose of Lord Lucius, and he is openly selling his daughter. The actual purpose is a political marriage, so that he can get a powerful political ally, and the best thing is to shelter their family, no matter how bad it is, so that it will not be liquidated by their political enemies. Their Belar family also attracted a lot of political enemies because of our family's involvement. Miss Isha is his only child, and I have heard that he loves Miss Isha very much, and it seems that he has no choice but to do so in order to save the family. ”
"However, there are a lot of ignorant fellows who think that this is a good fate from God, so they are waiting for Miss Isa's favor at the door?" Kane looked at Manhattan, who nodded, "Didn't Count Lucius ask Miss Isa what she thought?" Kane asked suspiciously.
"There should be, who can say this clearly, after all, I don't have a chance to know. Manhattan said as he buried his head again.
Kane knew that it was unkind and hurtful to Manhattan, but he wanted to do it in a way that would satisfy his curiosity and make him feel a little twisted happiness. After asking these scar-revealing questions, Kane suddenly felt that he was a little perverted.
Walking through the murderous nightclub, Manhattan led Kane to a small alley, where he looked around obscenely to make sure that there was no one and walked in. The alley is not sealed, it looks like the back alley leading to this row of buildings. As soon as you enter the back alley, you will be greeted by a foul smell, and there are huge garbage bins piled up here, and it seems that the garbage is usually piled up here. The alleys are dirty, and compared to the bustling cleanliness of Front Street, this is simply a living garbage dump.
Manhattan led Kane to a vent and said, "This is it, I found this vent, and it goes straight to the inside of the murderous nightclub." ”
Kane looked at the vent covered with greasy dust, remembered the scene at the door of the murderous nightclub on Front Street, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, together?"
Manhattan nodded, not refusing. Kane lifted the wire mesh lid of the vent pipe and drilled straight inside. The passage was narrow, but the sixteen-year-old Kane was not too tall, he was not too tired to crawl in the passage, and he could even turn around and sit on his legs, and the Manhattan behind him was half a head taller than Kane, and he had to lower his head half up if he wanted to sit down, which made it very uncomfortable.
Soon after, Kane saw a glimmer of light through the vents in front of him, and in front of him was the wire mesh cover that covered the vents. Kane could see a room from the iron mesh. The room wasn't very big, and there was a table in the center, but there were very few papers on the table, and it was impossible to count them on one hand, and there were no more than ten. However, it was neatly arranged, and it was clear that the owner of this room paid considerable attention to the documents on the table.
Just as Kane was about to open the vent lid, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. It was the girl named Isha who walked in. Kane immediately moved back a little to prevent being discovered by this fighter who had heard that it was a fifth-order fighter. Unexpectedly, the butt was attached to Manhattan's face, and just as Manhattan was about to speak, Kane quickly turned his head and blocked Manhattan's mouth with his hand, Manhattan looked up at Kane suspiciously, but unexpectedly hit his head directly on the top of the ventilation duct.
"Bang" was crisp and loud, like the sound of wood hitting an iron pipe.
Kane immediately pinched Manhattan's nose and made a silent gesture. Don't let him breathe, to the point where Isha is there, there is a slight movement that a fifth-order fighter can quickly detect.
Hearing the voice, Isha quickly looked towards the ventilation duct above the room. Glancing closely, Kane glanced through the wire mesh just enough to see Isha in the room, but from Isa's point of view, he couldn't see inside the ventilation ducts.
Isa pulled the stool at the table and placed him underneath the vent, apparently preparing to go up and open the vent. Fortunately, the girl's figure is not particularly slender, and her toe eyes are still a little worse than the vents. Isa, who was standing still, stretched out her hand, and at this time, Kane looked at the slender jade arm, her pupils were about to shrink to the size of a pinhole, and her heart was also beating a drum, and she didn't dare to gasp.
Suddenly, there was another movement in the room, as if something had been knocked over, and then the jade hand that had been placed in front of the ventilation duct was retracted. Isa's voice came from inside the room, "Katisi, is that you?"
"Meow—"
A Ragdoll appeared next to the table, and Kane watched as Isha got off the stool and touched it. Then he took the stool back, wiped it with the handkerchief on the table, and sat down at the table with the Ragdoll in his arms.
From Kane's point of view, the magnificent scene in front of Isha was unobstructed. Kane only then let go of the hand that was pinching Manhattan's nose. At this time, Manhattan opened his mouth wide and inhaled slowly, for fear that something would go wrong. It wasn't until Kane turned his head and nodded at Manhattan that Manhattan took a complete breath.
"I'm curious, how did you know that this ventilation duct could lead to Isha's room. Kane said to Manhattan in a snort.
"I looked for it. I tried the ventilation ducts one by one. Manhattan echoed Kane's words.
"It's a crazy move. Kane said with a small chuckle.
"The ventilation duct we came in, the one next to it, you should have seen when you came, that pipe leads to a woman's bathroom, and sometimes you can see a woman taking a bath, and she's not in good shape. Manhattan nodded at Kane.
Kane heard it and thought about it carefully, and it was true that when he climbed into this ventilation duct, there was another one next to him. Kane looked blankly at Manhattan and said, "I'll have time to take a look..."
"Did you ever get your heart set when you met Miss Isa?" Kane's whimsical thoughts made Manhattan a little unpredictable.
"Seriously, as my former fiancée, when I see her, as long as she is a normal man, it is impossible not to be impressed, isn't it?" Kane followed his gaze to look at the magnificent scenery below, and nodded in agreement. "The first time I saw her was when I had just wandered to the Ruhr, and I hadn't been in the Ruhr for too long, and on the day she was elected deputy mayor, I saw the beautiful angelic face, and I regretted it so much, and I was obsessed with her for a long time after that. ”
"So you're going to climb the ventilation ducts?" said Kane, joking with Manhattan.
"Is there a better way to see her? You know she must hate our family. I want to see her, if it's in front of her? I guess she's going to kill me. His father was the one who could become the chief consul and overseer. Because of our family's involvement, his father can only be a ruling minister now. Manhattan was a little angry, and his tone of voice was a little agitated, and it was clear that Kane's words had angered him a bit.
Kane immediately said humble, and then said something to calm Manhattan's mood: "Hey, man, I'm just kidding you, shouldn't we calm down now?" With that, Kane gestured to the room behind the ventilation ducts.
Soon Manhattan fell silent, opened his mouth a few times, wanted to say something, but finally held back.
