Chapter 194: The Metamorphosis of a Perverted Gentleman
A few days later, Croix also arrived at the port of Hanboto, where he found the shadow in a suite in the most luxurious hotel in the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Don't you usually sleep in a tree, or in a big wooden box?" Croixie sat down in a chair behind the mahogany guest table in the suite, jokingly asking the shadow sitting across from her.
"Because a few days ago, something big happened here. Shadow placed his hands on the table in front of him, his fingers clasped together.
"Are you talking about your Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, the matter of the missing personnel?" Croqin also placed his hand on the table like a shadow.
"Exactly. Until now, no one has been seen alive, no body has been seen, and no clues have been found. Shadow replied.
"Aren't there any witnesses on the dock? Croix asked further.
"Nope. Even the man on duty at the nearby dock disappeared that night. The whereabouts of the bodyguards on the dock leased by the Chamber of Commerce are still unknown, leaving no clues, and it is obviously not an ordinary dry land. After a few days of investigation, I found out that a person who called himself a weirdo was very suspicious. Shadow analyzed with a solemn gaze.
"Who's the weirdo?" - Shadow. Didn't you just say that you didn't find any clues?" asked Croqin suspiciously.
"Definitely. I found no evidence that the weirdo had anything to do with it. He was one of the guys I met with Noyachenko when we were shopping in Galia. At that time, I spotted the blackbird that had stopped pulling the cart and led us into the encirclement of Sue and Merdok, and rushed towards it, only to be stopped by the strange man.
At that time, I guessed that this person was probably related to people from Memphis. My gut tells me that the people and weirdos of Memphis are likely responsible for this disappearance. Because they have the ability. The shadow further analyzed.
"Do you know what kind of person the weirdo is?" asked Croce with interest.
"This is the information I have investigated through the intelligence network of the Chamber of Commerce in the past few days.
Born in the slums, the weirdo grew up in violence. His mother was a prostitute. My father was a gangster who was well-known in the local area. His previous name wasn't Weirdo either. When he was 12 years old, his father sold him to a local underworld syndicate as a younger brother, and showed an amazing talent for crime, especially good at killing.
Then, ten years earlier, he had already become a well-known bounty hunter in Africa. According to the unspoken rules of the industry, the so-called bounty hunters are nothing more than killers under the banner of punishing rape and eliminating evil. As long as they give enough money, they can kill anyone for you.
The weirdo guy is doing this kind of business that specializes in collecting money and killing people, and because of his excellent performance, he has never lacked business to do. After his fortune, he bought a mansion in Duanferta, married a noble lady, and had a son.
Until one day, the strange man found out that whenever he was away for a long time, a young man would sneak into his home. The weirdo dealt with it in a killer way—quietly watching what happened. Not long after, his wife hired the young man to be his housekeeper.
It turned out that the young man was actually the old lover of the strange man's wife, and because of his poor family, he suffered strong opposition from the family of the strange man's wife, so he did not marry the wife of the strange man. As for the weirdo - even if he is rich, his social status is just a killer.
According to the purpose of his hasty marriage: he married the only daughter of a baron, and after the old baron died, he could naturally inherit the position of baron. Unexpectedly, because he often went out and didn't return, his wife cheated on the housekeeper at home.
As a result, he caught the housekeeper and his wife in bed and forced him to find out that his son did not seem to be his own. So the weirdo went berserk that night, and used the killer method to mercilessly abuse and execute his wife, son, housekeeper and all the servants, and after burying and disposing of the body, he immediately resold the mansion at a low price.
Since then, he has changed his name to Strange Man, and he has studied various killing techniques and has taken pleasure in killing people. After some time, the newly moved residents found the body of the strange man buried in the backyard of the mansion.
When the elven king at that time, Clauvence, learned of this and personally ordered a strict investigation. But the strange man carried the heads of the top ten wanted criminals to the royal city of Klein and met with Clovence.
At the same time, he used threats and inducements to silence the mouths of all the relatives of the deceased. As a result, after much deliberation, Clauvence announced a pardon for all his crimes. At that time, this was a big news that caused a sensation in the whole of Africa.
A few years ago, he was hired by Duke White and set off for the continent of Semitic. It was only recently that the intelligence officers of the Chamber learned that he had returned to Africa. Shadow gives Croce a detailed description of Croce's past.
"This weirdo is really ruthless, and he's strong enough to be perverted. Croix couldn't help but sigh.
"So, I think it's very likely that the weirdos were involved and even carried out the disappearance. Now, I will stay in this hotel with the staff of the Chamber of Commerce to ensure their personal safety. Shadow answered.
"And what do we do next?" asked Croce urgently.
"The weird guy has a perverse personality, and no one can predict what he will do next. Therefore, I must remain here for the time being, serving as the interim head of the Chamber of Commerce until a new head is sent to take over. The Shadow's eyes were still so shocked.
"But wasn't it Memphis's men who did this?" Croix still had questions.
"Of course, it's also very likely. Most likely, Memphis hired the Weirdo, or Memphis and the Weirdo joined forces. The tone of the shadow remained unchanged.
"Well, it means that the situation is urgent. I must travel to the Promised Realm as soon as possible. Leave. Croce stood up anxiously, turned and walked towards the door.
"Please wait. Do you know why I'm telling you this?" Shadow stood up and blocked Croqin's path.
"Why?" asked Croix, standing still.
"The people of Memphis have been against us all the way. If this strange man is on their side, it will be dangerous for you to go to the Promised Realm alone. So we must not go it alone. The new head of the Chamber of Commerce is also about to arrive. With unquestionable eyes, the shadow looked into Crocy's eyes in warning.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Croix nodded in agreement.
"Mr. One Hundred and One. "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. There was a crisp and orderly knock on the door, and it came into the suite where Croqin and Shadow were.
"Please come in!" Shadow stepped forward and opened the door. A waiter in a black dress and bow tie walked in.
"What's the matter?" asked the waiter.
"I'm sorry. Excuse me. Downstairs in the hall came a gentleman who claimed to be Lord Robt and wanted to meet you, Mr. One Hundred and One. The waiter replied respectfully.
"It seems that the new head of the Chamber of Commerce has arrived. Walk. Let's go downstairs together to meet him. Shadow commanded Croce.
"Okay. Croix agreed.
"It's your tip. Take us to Lord Robt. Shadow placed a few copper coins in the waiter's hand.
"Thank you, sir. After taking the copper coin, the waiter straightened his body and led Croqin and Shadow to the staircase and began to descend the stairs.
"Mr. One Hundred and One. To be able to see you again. I am deeply honored. Shadow and Croix followed the waiter, standing on the staircase, not yet going downstairs. A middle-aged man's voice came up.
"Your Excellency. I've been looking forward to seeing you there. Hearing this, Shadow quickened his pace and walked down the stairs first. Croce and the waiter followed him closely behind and also walked downstairs.
