Chapter XVII. Changes

Following J. Perelman, Qin Ran walked into Hook Alley.

A colourful alley to the north of a huge city, made up entirely of gravel roads and low-rise houses, looks a bit like a fairy tale town, but far less bustling than those fairy tale towns, on the contrary, a touch of slaughter pervades the surroundings.

Qin Ran felt more than one glance.

No malice, but full of vigilance.

Based on his gaze and breath, Qin Ran could tell that there were at least about 40 or so secret sentinels in Hu Ke Alley.

Based on the information he had received about the Freedom Alliance, this should be about all the peripheral members of the Freedom Alliance.

And, in contrast to the fears of the full members, the peripheral members of the Freedom Alliance still have confidence in their organization.

It's a given!

A group of rabbits will be shocked when they see a lion.

As for the lion?

The rabbits never understood the powerlessness and fear of the lion when faced with the muzzle of the gun.

Although they will also face the muzzle.

But......

After the bang, does it make any difference?

Nope.

A bullet not only made the sharp teeth useless, but also made the dexterous speed come to naught.

It's just that the former understands the horror, and the latter is still ignorant.

Qin Ran shook his head silently.

It was hard for him to imagine what it would be like for these peripheral members to discover the facts.

Maybe it's going to fall apart, right?

"No!"

"Not perhaps, but definitely!"

"If I were that guy, I'd definitely come and make a head-on raid to make these outer members of the Freedom Alliance understand what the reality is!"

Qin Ran thought about it, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

He discovers that the 'hunter' who hides in the shadows knows more about the Freedom Alliance than he thought.

Similarly, the rumored Amelia is even more 'incompetent' than the rumored one.

"Boss Amelia is also forced to do so."

"That 'hunter' is elusive, and if you don't deploy it in a big way, it's useless."

J. Perelman seemed to sense Qin Ran's thoughts, and immediately explained it for the leader of his organization.

Qin Ran nodded noncommittally.

He will not deny the claims of J. Perelman.

Because, it's a fact.

But it will not change the evaluation of Amelia.

Because, too, it is true.

And this evaluation, when I met Amelia, was confirmed again.

In the opponent's room, Amelia wore a knight's armor, which was shiny and strong, and looked like a good rank, just like the long sword on the opponent's waist and the cloak behind him.

"Hello, Your Excellency 2567."

"I'm sorry, but the Liberty League is in an extremely dangerous situation right now, and I can't go directly to the Harvest Tavern, but J. Perelman can represent me with carte blanche on my behalf."

"The promises he made were as valid as mine."

"Again, if you don't mind, I'd like to tell you the whole story."

The other party welcomed Qin Ran very warmly.

The words are also high-sounding, if these words were said in Hook's alley, instead of in the other party's room, Qin Ran would still approve of it, but after changing places, what Qin Ran saw was...... Get cold feet!

That's right!

It's timidity!

It's not just the other official members of the Freedom Alliance who are timid, but even the titular boss of the Freedom Alliance in front of him is also timid.

Just look at the other party's appearance in his room fully armed.

On one side of the room, there was a weapon and armor stand, and according to the wear marks on it, the weapons and armor on the opponent's body should have been left there for a long time, not worn on the body.

Undoubtedly, the mysterious 'hunter' made the other party feel terrified, even in his own room, he needed weapons and armor to be at ease.

As for the dark sentinels in Hook's alley that seem to be watching around?

Fear......

Protection means more than surveillance.

"Hmm."

Qin Ran, who understood this for a moment, responded to the other party lightly.

Qin Ran looked down on such a coward.

Mimosa, you say?

Mimosas are naturally different.

At least, Mimosa knows that he is timid and can't lead any organization or team, and he keeps to himself in the huge city, even if he enters the dungeon world, he will give the leadership to the right person as much as possible, but he won't be like the guy in front of him, who is obviously cowardly, and he has to come out to point fingers.

Qin Ran couldn't imagine how such a person could get to the next level.

Is it completely dependent on the support of the team?

Qin Ran secretly guessed.

While Qin Ran was guessing, Amelia, who saw Qin Ran's response, began to tell, which was no different from what J. Perelman said before.

Except that the language is a little more embellished and 'highlights some personal leadership', there is no difference in essence.

"It was I who miscalculated the strength of that bastard and caused Gary to suffer an accident, if I were given another chance, I would ......"

"Can I go and see where that Gary was attacked?"

Qin Ran interrupted the other party's assumptions and asked directly.

"Of course!"

"J. Perelman will take you there."

Amelia nodded immediately, and, again, handed over the task to J. Perelman.

Obviously, the other party had no intention of leaving his room.

Qin Ran had already expected this.

J. Perelman was a little embarrassed.

"Boss Emilia wasn't like that before."

"It's just that so much has happened lately that has made him a little different......"

"People always change, don't they?"

J. Perelman wanted to explain to Qin Ran, so that Qin Ran could understand that Amelia was essentially good, but after the explanation, even J. Perelman couldn't say anything anymore.

He ended the explanation almost with his own words.

However, Qin Ran seemed to be interested.

"You said that was not the case with Emilia in the past?"

Qin Ran asked.

"Hmm."

"The previous Emilian boss was not like this, he was not only brave and fearless, but also warm and kind, and had no pretensions."

"The reason why I chose to join the Freedom Alliance was because I was helped by Boss Amelia in the first place."

"In fact, most of the people in the organization are like that."

"......"

"It's been different lately."

"Especially after the appearance of the 'Hunter', Boss Emilia seems to have changed as a person, not only timid, sensitive, but also pretentious."

"A lot of friends are saying that this is the nature of Boss Emilia."

"Gary had quarreled with Boss Emilia before, and in the end, they broke up."

J. Perelman shook his head as he spoke.

"Oh?"

"Quarrel?"

Qin Ran looked at J. Perelman with interest.

"No, it won't!"

"Although Emilia Boss has changed a little, some bottom lines will not change!"

J. Perelman, who obviously guessed what Qin Ran wanted to ask, immediately waved his hand, and, staggering the topic, he pointed to the street in front of him and said, "This is where Gary was killed. ”

Qin Ran didn't ask any more.

His gaze swept in the direction of the other's fingers.

Eyes narrowed.
