Chapter 591: A Cup Before Killing
A dull thunder sounded, and the rain was ticking down, and soon it was connected into a line, and it fell with a clatter.
Pedestrians on the road gradually quickened their pace, and more often found a nearby store to shelter from the rain temporarily, bringing valuable foot traffic to the store that had not had many customers all night.
At this time, outside McMie's restaurant, on a big tree in the square, Birtley, dressed in black, still maintained a motionless posture, letting the rain hit him, his eyes were still firmly fixed on McMie's restaurant.
The rain had wet the floor-to-ceiling crystal, and his location was just a blind spot in sight, so he couldn't see the inside of the restaurant clearly.
After a moment's hesitation, he slid slowly down against the tree, bent over and slowly moving through the bushes, the sound of the rain hitting the leaves muffled his subtle sounds.
The proximity to McMie's restaurant made his heart tense a little, the first time he had felt this way since he had been tasked with spying on Louie.
"Why did Louie come to the door alone after everyone had left? Really just want to buy a box of mooncakes for your child? Or is there an ulterior secret with this man? Or...... Does it have something to do with that incident three years ago? Thinking of this, Biltley's breathing became a little rapid.
He had followed Louis for more than nine months, and he had a thorough understanding of his habits and personality, and his behavior today seemed to be a little abnormal, which made him have more associations.
He didn't know much about the details of the incident three years ago, but he knew Alex's identity, and what kind of reward he could get if he was found and killed, which was a status and money that he would never have achieved in his life, which was what the leader of the cheetah told him before he left.
Of course, if you bring the news back, you can also get an extremely generous reward, but this reward is a bit insignificant compared to killing Alex.
Moreover, in this world, there are not many people who want to kill Alex and become famous in one fell swoop.
This once stood at the top level of the Nolan Continent and the first knight of the Los Empire, even if it has been completely abolished, killing him is still enough to become a deed that will go down in history.
Biltley is also one of them, with his qualifications, it is difficult to break through the fifth level in this life, even in the cheetah, he can only be regarded as a middle and lower strength, destined to become an obscure shadow for the rest of his life, performing boring tasks such as supervising Louis day after day.
He walked out of the slums in the west of the city of Los Angeles, and had seen many dirty and dirty things, and knew how difficult it was to endure the long nights when he could only rely on the muddy rain to feed his hunger, so he climbed up by any means, joined the army, stabbed his comrades in the back, and then monopolized the military exploits, and did the same, that is, he wanted to one day become the area that symbolized the powerful class of the Los Empire living in the east of the city.
However, later he gradually discovered that if he wanted to do this, he couldn't do it without strength and identity, and with his qualifications and his background in the slums, it was impossible to live in that place in his life.
Alex, who enlisted in the army at about the same time as him, was awarded the Imperial Badge three years later and was rewarded by His Majesty the King with a large mansion located in the center of the eastern part of the city.
"Heaven is always so unfair, some people are originally descendants of big families, but they still have extraordinary talents, they can be favored by beauties, and they are loved by everyone, such guys, it's really damn ......" Biltley touched the short knife on his waist and grinned to himself, and a flash of lightning flashed, reflecting his cold and distorted face.
……
Black Hawk and his party were hiding under the canopy outside the blacksmith shop, looking like a group of ordinary people hiding from the rain.
"Captain, we have already asked separately, the owner of this restaurant is named McGonagall, and the guests call him Boss Mai, and he may have a single name Mai, surnamed Ge, and that half-elf girl is his daughter, named Amy. No one knows where he came from, only that the restaurant opened about a month and a half ago, and after it opened, the business quickly became extremely hot, and he was widely regarded as a talented chef by customers. The thin man stepped forward and whispered in Nelson's ear.
"McGonagall? McGonagall ......" Nelson's brow furrowed deeply, the name giving him a familiar feeling, and suddenly, a light flashed through his mind, causing his heart to beat uncontrollably.
Alex's name is widely spread on the Nolan continent, but not many people know that it is actually just his surname, this big family that once had a glorious history on the Nolan continent, and has defended the empire's frontier for hundreds of years.
Then Alex was born more than ten years ago, and he made many miraculous achievements on the southwest border of the Los Empire, and he gradually became famous on the Nolan Continent, and then slay demons and dragons, Alex's name gradually became famous on the Nolan Continent, and he also recognized others calling him so.
However, few people know that his real name is actually McGonagall Alex.
Nelson knew that before he left Lotus, he had carefully read all the materials related to Alex and had memorized most of them.
This is a habit of his, and it is also the basic quality of a qualified Black Hawk player.
A three-and-a-half-year-old half-elf girl, a father and daughter of unknown origin, and the same name, such a coincidence is difficult to appear in the same person.
Even though there are many inexplicable contradictions in the owner of this restaurant, the information he has obtained now is enough for him to give it a go, if the boss who makes the mooncakes so delicious is really Alex, then he will rise to the top and become the guest of honor of the second prince.
If this guy wasn't Alex, they just killed a restaurant owner by mistake, and they had many ways to get out of the city of chaos without leaving any evidence against Black Hawk.
"Prepare to do it, kill the restaurant owner, then capture that half-elf girl alive, and once you succeed, immediately separate and leave the city of chaos." Nelson muttered.
"Captain, is he really Alex?" The thin man looked at Nelson in disbelief, and said with some puzzlement: "But, how could Alex become a chef?" Running a restaurant in the City of Chaos? ”
The expressions of the other team members were similar, especially after tasting the delicious mooncakes, it was even more difficult to associate this man who made delicious food with Alex, who had once slain dragons.
"This is an order, you just need to carry it out, now in the City of Chaos, I am the Supreme Commander of Black Hawk." Nelson's expression became serious, and he raised his hand lightly and said, "Disperse, surround the restaurant, and start acting after the people inside leave." ”
"Yes." The others looked grim and nodded at the same time.
……
"I'm sorry, it looks like I've caused you trouble with my arrival." In the dining room, Louis looked at McGonagall who had come downstairs again, and said apologetically.
"It's okay, anyway, you're not good at hiding your whereabouts, and you're even less aware of tracking." McGonagall shook her head with a smile, put the large wine barrel she was carrying on the table, patted the barrel and looked at Louie and said with a smile, "Have a drink first?" ”
"Is this a question to be asked before killing?" Louis also had a smile on his face, and walked towards McGonagall with a limp.
