Chapter 36: Colin Corick (Page 1/1)

In this way, after a moment of hesitation, he followed Evans's steps and gradually went deeper into the dark alley, the black market in Hyena Street seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the three people who visited this gangster neighborhood tonight from the angle of the opposite direction, but Evans and the others, who were the guides, did not take this opportunity to play any tricks as Thea had feared at first.

Probably out of loyalty to the gang leader, or because of his appearance, Urs, who is not easy to mess with, has been present, Evans has been relatively honest all the way, except for the occasional attempt to get some news from Alice's mouth in the lord's castle, he did not make any out-of-line actions, and after a while, he deliberately spared a few more laps in the small alley of the block to avoid being followed, and then led everyone to a dead end in the dark alley and knocked on the door of a wooden house in the shadows, Call out a few other members of the Korrick gang on duty from the alley behind the door.

The underground auction hall of Hyena Street is used for large and expensive transactions, but is in fact separate from the black market area, thus using the logical trap of common sense to mislead most of the interested do-gooders into revealing the real location of the venue to the few people in the know who are interested in it.

The few people who know about this are all local wealthy merchants or nobles under the Earls of Northland, and the prerequisite for obtaining this information is that in addition to having a status that can be valued by Colin Colik, they must also have a considerable amount of black market transactions with the Korrick gang in advance, so as to ensure that they and the gang's interests are more and more tightly linked, and they cannot easily wash their hands and go ashore, and they dare not betray rashly.

Unless there is a special circumstance - that is, the person who wants to get this information is suddenly Kevin Stun, the Earl of the Northlands himself.

Or, the people around him who he greatly valued or trusted, such as Scambed, who was the governor of the Northlands.

For example, the old priest of McCaron, who at least nominally represents the religious forces of the Northland and the authority of the Cathedral of St. Antonios.

For example, the only remaining close relative of the Paladin Lord, the de jure heir to the title of lord—

That is, Alice.

Kevin's clerical religious background has both advantages and disadvantages for his lordship, sometimes facilitating him in the political situation, sometimes making it difficult for him to deal with gray sensitive areas, limiting many of his otherwise dexterous methods of dealing with them, and even casting accusations against political enemies lurking in the shadows, which is why he has always needed capable slave knights like Urs to work for him in the past in his reign.

After knocking on the door of the dark alley, Evans glanced back at the three people he had brought all the way here, invited them into the house with a fake smile, and continued along a long corridor in the house, finally leading them to the underground venue hidden beneath the surface of Hyena Street.

The underground auction hall controlled by the Korick gang is about the size of a castle hall, and the structure of the hall is designed in the shape of a semicircle with a stepped depression from the edge of the arc to the center of the bottom, and the bottom is located in the emcee's booth, which is connected to the backstage by a curtain, and the rest of the area is divided into seating areas for invitees by aisles.

Alice, Urs, and Thea walked into the venue through a small door at the edge of the arc, first standing on the edge of the first floor of the venue, looking down on the entire venue, and judging from the voices of the people they heard, several groups of tonight's visitors had been seated one after another, and then Evans told them that the location of everyone should be in the VIP box on the second floor of the venue.

Evans briefly explained the arrangements of the venue to the crowd, called the nearby staff to receive everyone to the box room on the second floor, and then left alone on the grounds that he needed to report to the leader.

He quickly walked away from the sight of the three of them in the dimly lit auction room, and found a staircase leading from the backstage room to the leader's box behind the stall at the bottom of the first floor of the venue, and soon took out a key he had with him, opened the door to the box, and returned to the helm of the Korrick gang.

The man named Colin Korrick—

"Evans, has the work I given you done well?"

Colin sat in a plush wooden chair with a padded backrest with his back to the door of the chief's box, and when he heard the sound of the key opening the door, he glanced at half of his eyes and turned his head to see Evans step in from the door of the room, waiting for an answer.

As the head of the Korrick gang and the de facto ruler of Hyena Street, this man who usually never appears in front of his clients names the gang after his surname, which is said to be a form of remembrance because he was once a declining aristocrat.

He was dressed in a high-necked coat to protect him from the cold, and on either side of his chair stood two other personal guards, except for Evans, with a fierce face that quite matched some street rumors, with golden curls and beards on either side of his face like the sideburns of a lion clustered around his head, and two blue eyes that were shining in the sockets under his eyebrows, and from any angle he looked at him, it seemed that two natural evil spirits were coming towards him.

Evans cautiously brought the doorknob into the room, his eyes swept over the other two personal guards beside Colin, and then immediately saluted his leader, "Alice Stun and the two servants she brought are here. In accordance with your instructions, I arranged for someone to take them to the box on the second floor that you had designated. ”

"What about the layout of the venue? I mean the 'that aspect' arrangement, you should understand. Colin turned his head in satisfaction, his fingers raised and tapped twice on the armrest of his seat.

"The brothers are in place. Tonight's plans have been leaked, and Kevin's sister won't be able to escape the cage we've designed for her if you wish. Evans approached knowingly, the smirk on his lips full of imperative confidence, "It's just ......"

"Go on."

"Excuse me, my master. Kevin was really reluctant to work with us in the past, and secretly hostile to us, but did we really need to tear his face with him all of a sudden? You know, Alice Stun is the heir to his current title anyway......"

Evans watched Colin's face very carefully, and was sure that his leader showed no signs of displeasure, so he organized his words to convey his concerns.

Colin glanced at him sideways, and the curvature of his mouth curled into a contemptuous sneer: "Don't worry. The informants have bought the latest information, and I have my own sense of proportion in dealing with this matter, not to mention that since she dared to break into the wolf's den so rashly, she must have been ready to learn a lesson and pay the price, right? ”

"You compare yourself to a wolf, master."

"Oh, aren't you, Evans? Tell me, who is your insatiable desire, like a bottomless pit, targeted tonight? Ugly words ahead, Alice Stun is useful to me, whether she lives or dies, and you better not think about it. ”

"Rest assured, my master, she's too young to be of interest to the fact that her baby's face, which is as cold as a doll's, doesn't interest me." Evans shook his head wisely, and then added in suspense, "It's not ......."

"But what?"

"There is a half-beast lady among the two servants that little Nizi brought tonight, I like it very much, hehe......"

When the words fell, he greedily stuck out his tongue and licked his lips with a malicious smile.
