Chapter 1278: Two Goals
There is no doubt that as the leader of a squad of raiders, the One-Eyed Woman was no fool, otherwise she would have died in some fierce scuffle or had her throat slit by a dagger from behind.
On the contrary, she is more cautious than anyone else, always trying to keep herself out of danger as much as possible, and does not show up until she is sure she is safe.
No, in order to confirm the situation in the hotel room, she successively used a small amount of metal currency to lure the children of about seven or eight years old to come close and observe, and then described the situation in words.
After repeating it a few times, she cautiously walked through the narrow corridor on the second floor, poking out half of her head through the crack in the door to observe the situation inside.
When he noticed Luke lying on the ground, and Laphni, who was leaning against the wall and panting, he immediately gently pushed the door open and asked in an uncertain tone, "It's all done?"
"Of course!, just as I promised!" replied to Laphne, holding back her pain.
"Great! Great job, but you don't seem to be in good shape, don't you ......?"
The woman wearing the blindfold seemed to notice the accomplice's pale face and sweaty forehead, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"In order to dispel the target's vigilance, I ate poisonous food with him. If you want to kill me at this time and take the bounty for yourself, I promise you'll regret it. Laphni knew what the smile meant, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
Betrayal and deception are as common among the members of the Raider squad as they are eating and drinking.
Especially when the task has been completed and has not yet been delivered to the employer, it is often the time when infighting is most likely to occur.
Coupled with the fact that she has now lost the ability to resist due to poisoning, she will easily become the object of abandonment and sacrifice.
The only thing to be thankful for is that she has chosen betrayal first.
Thinking of this, Laphni subconsciously glanced at Luke who was lying motionless on the ground out of the corner of her eye, and a hint of playfulness flashed in her pupils.
"No, no, no, my dear friend, you seem to have misunderstood something. In fact, it's not just the boy that the employer wants this time, you're one of the targets. The woman with the blindfold grinned with sarcasm on her face.
"What?!I...... Am I a target too?"
Shocked by the relationship, Laphni seemed to forget about her physical pain and struggled to her feet.
Because this task was taken over by her own hands at the beginning, including the animal skin full of commissioned content, she never mentioned even the slightest content related to herself.
"It's incredible, isn't it? In fact, I was surprised when the mysterious employer came into contact with me later. But you should know that no one can refuse his offer. So I'm sorry, I have to take responsibility for the rest of my life. The one-eyed woman said as she pressed forward with her fists clenched.
She is absolutely confident that she can easily take down the other in hand-to-hand combat, and then deliver two priceless captives to her employer.
Once she had done that, she would be able to give up her current career as a blood-licking raider and disguise herself as a successful and wealthy businesswoman to settle down in a big city.
If you are lucky, you can find a young, handsome and capable young man as a partner, and you can enjoy a good and happy time for the rest of your life.
But if you are unlucky, you can use this wealth to buy a few young and handsome slaves, so that they can satisfy the unquenchable fire of desire in your heart.
In short, for the sake of this business, she almost buried the elite team she had built up, and even exposed herself to danger, so she was not allowed to fail no matter what.
Looking at the approaching former companions, instead of showing the slightest nervousness, Laphni couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahahaha! Funny! It's so funny! It turns out that the betrayal was doomed from the beginning! Unfortunately, the ultimate winner is not you." ”
"What do you mean?"
Just as the one-eyed woman was about to knock her unconscious, she suddenly stopped her fist in midair.
"Just like the literal meaning! Do you think I've really got him?"
With Laphni's slightly mocking tone, the big hand of vanished energy resurfaced, and held the woman wearing the blindfold tightly in the palm of her hand.
Before she could react to what was happening, Luke opened his eyes and got up from the ground, sneering, and said, "It's literal! Now, tell me, who exactly is the employer?"
"Damn! you...... You're not poisoned?"
The one-eyed woman was shocked and angry, and several times kept her gaze on Laphni's face, as if to ask why you were poisoned, and he didn't.
"Of course I'm not poisoned! It's all the same play you played in the desert, it's an art of deception. The only difference is that you didn't succeed in deceiving me, and I did. With that, Luke casually took off his coat covered with soup and walked straight to the captive.
Without any hesitation, he directly removed the black blindfold from the other party's eye, only to find that what was hidden under the blindfold was not a blind eye, but a magical object that was as dazzling as a jewel.
To be exact, a high-end magic eyeball with an alternative role.
The technology used on it is the same as the sacrificial circle under the temple.
"What's that?" asked Laphne, staring at the eerie glow of the magical eyeballs, with a look of surprise.
"A precious magic item, if nothing else, this thing is definitely worth a lot. Why, didn't you know before?" asked Luke rhetorically without looking back.
Laphnia hurriedly shook her head: "I haven't seen it! As far as I know, her blindfold has never been taken off. ”
"Ahh Ma'am, could you please explain where this thing came from? Don't try to lie or be hard-mouthed, or you'll understand that being young doesn't mean soft-hearted. ”
The words just fell!
The huge energy hand, under Luke's control, suddenly began to squeeze hard.
In the blink of an eye, the bones of the one-eyed woman made a clicking sound, followed by pain and wails that echoed through the room.
"Ahhhhh!!!!!h ”
"Excuse me, now you've lost your bargaining chips. Perhaps, I should use a little more force and squeeze your hip bone directly. You know what? If the bones here are shattered, you're probably going to spend the rest of your life in bed......
