Chapter 19: Encounter (2-in-1)
The loud noise in the warehouse area came from none other than the sound of a head-on clash between the likes of Lubacher, the mafia and Lloyd, who were angrily searching for the intruders.
After discovering that the way of action on his side had been seen through by the other party, Lloyd immediately decided that he could not delay like this any longer. To do this, he consults with two of the team's best fighters, Randy and the mysterious masked man Levy. Although the two are not on the same level, they come to the same conclusion - Garcia must be defeated head-on in order to break up the mafia's united defense.
Although Levi was able to retreat from the hands of an opponent like Lubacher who was not enough to see at all, even he, facing the well-equipped light machine gun team commanded by Garcia himself, should not be able to protect the three women behind him who had no ability to protect themselves in the chaotic battle. What's more, Levy's own sword skills are not for protection...... It's for the sake of killing. Therefore, a place with a large open area and wide streets like a wealthy area cannot be stayed. Although this is a rich area, there is no guarantee that Lubacher will not rush to do something out of the ordinary this time - after all, in their eyes, Speaker Harutman is basically omnipotent.
When the intruder could no longer be felt in the streets of the wealthy district, Garcia sneered, waved his hand, and led his men straight to the warehouse district, where the sneaky figures of mafia members shuttled through the narrow gaps of tall warehouse rooms. And Garcia himself had no scruples, with a hideous face, and walked towards Lloyd and others who were like a great enemy.
"Hmph...... It's no wonder that I think the occasional figures at this auction are familiar...... It's you police kids. I'm glad you got an invitation to this auction. ”
"It doesn't seem like there's a rule that the police can't participate, right?" Lloyd's expression was surprisingly calm, strange, and it was clear that there was a high probability that there would be a bloody battle next.
"yes...... The principle of the auction is "no one who comes...... As long as your invitation is genuine, it doesn't matter. Garcia's face began to darken, "But...... If you join forces with the Black Moon to make a commotion and smash us and the Speaker's field...... That's a different story. ”
"How did you get involved with the Black Moon?" Lloyd was surprised, "Silver has nothing to do with us at all...... Just ask the men you fainted and you'll know. Rather, it was we who noticed the anomaly and drove him away, the intruder. ”
"Huh, huh?" The honest explanation didn't make Garcia change her mind. Although his gaze is no longer as sinister as before, it is still full of murderous energy, "It doesn't matter now...... The point is you guys, let me, the President, let the Speaker lose face in front of those guests! This account must be counted on your heads no matter what. As he spoke, his muscles tensed, and Garcia was already in a fighting state.
"It seems...... Even if we surrender, you won't agree. Lloyd motioned for Kia to duck behind.
"It's rare to have the feeling of 'hunting', how can you not enjoy the sorrow of your prey?" At this moment, Garcia completely revealed his fierceness and belligerence as a hunter, "Don't worry, for someone's sake, the little life will be reserved for you, and after breaking one or two arms, I will let you go back." ”
"You really know how to say it...... I just don't know how to do it. "The few people who had never been on the battlefield were almost breathless by Garcia's murderous aura that was so thick that it was almost substantial. However, just as Randy was about to say something, Levi imperceptibly took a step forward, just in the way of Randy, "Killing Bear...... It's been a long time since I've had a serious fight with a well-known opponent. ”
The other side is very strong - with Lloyd and the others, it is difficult to fight against. Not to mention that there is a group of mafia members who are eyeing the other side, holding light machine guns and various weapons, playing cover. Although the red-haired, named Randy guy seems to have some strength, he may not be able to win Garcia in the current situation.
Such a place ...... It's for myself. Levi felt that his blood-eating nerve, which had been sleeping for a long time, was beginning to wake up. Although he has let go of the pain of the past, the shocking scars in the process can still be turned into his spiritual appetite at this moment. Even Levi, who had tried to move towards the so-called "right path" as Shura, was still alive in the depths of his heart.
And just now, Garcia's words, and the tense atmosphere on the scene, finally made the Shura, who had been sleeping for a long time, begin to wake up - when Levi's body was wrapped in the floating silver fighting qi, even Garcia had to pay attention to this man who had been silent just now.
Unlike Lloyd and others - this man wears a mask. I think he is also a character who does not want people to see his true face. But for some reason, he was operating with the police...... And—it seems, very strong.
Reluctant to admit it, Garcia had to say that a similar oppressive force was the last time he had seen it...... Or Luke Clauser...... The body of this "Chasseur King".
In other words...... The thin young man in front of him wearing a mask ...... Have the ability to fight at the same level as the regimental commander?
How is this possible. At the same time as his heart was shocked, Garcia's aggressive blood was also aroused.
"Hah...... It's a great vindictive. Facing Levi, who was now surprised by the support department and others beside him, Garcia not only had no fear, but also showed a hint of an aggressive smile: "What is the origin, report your name." ”
"It's just a shadow that still lingers on the path of Shura......" Lévi whispered, not knowing whether he was lamenting his own experience or answering Garcia's words—the next moment, Lévi had appeared behind Garcia.
"So fast...... "Leap forward" took a deft step back like a giant bear, a blow so swift that Lloyd couldn't see it at all and was dodged by Garcia. He exclaimed "yes" and slammed his palm back into Levy's throat. With Garcia's skills, it would have been hard to dodge such a close-range blow - but for some reason, just before his fingers touched Levy, his movements and rhythm suddenly slowed down eerily a beat. Taking advantage of this stagnation, Levi easily regained his distance and dodged Garcia's attack.
......At the same time, the mafia members who had been on standby just now did not hesitate to shoot Levi - without Garcia's order, much to Garcia's surprise. However, he is not unable to understand the feelings of his subordinates...... The atmosphere just now was really changing rapidly, and the fierce battle swayed their thoughts.
"Don't fire! Don't fire without my orders! Garcia shouted a little annoyed, but not annoyed. After he shouted, his subordinates, who were originally a little commotionous, slowly quieted down.
And Lévy - naturally also unscathed. Although you don't have the "Rock Eater" with you, you can use a standard sword to unleash the power of ordinary combat skills. A cloud of silver fighting qi turned into a storm and roared by, shattering all the bullets that came at it. After the remnants of the wind, Levi disappeared once again - this time, his target was Garcia's back!
"Hmph......" Garcia sneered at the corner of his mouth - as a chasesser, seeing and listening is a compulsory course. After the abrupt attack just now, Levy's movements were already within his prediction. He let out a heart-palpitating war cry, like an angry bear, and with the wrench in his hand, he firmly grasped the bayonet sword in Levi's hand!
"Drink!" However, something unexpected happened to him again - in the face of this dead end, the other party actually used brute force to pull the long sword out of his clenched hands, and then slashed down from the side with an even more astonishing speed and angle!
"This is too ......" Garcia smacked his tongue, his hunch just now came true - the male young man in front of him was really on the same level as the "Hunter King" - this explosive power, reaction speed, and target selection that was still accurate even when attacking quickly was really terrifying. He didn't dare to slack off, and almost awkwardly dodged Levi's attack.
"Oh? Did the old chasseur's combat instincts work? Levi withdrew his sword, with a hint of imperceptible regret on his face, "I originally thought that after I deliberately showed weakness just now to let you relax your vigilance, I could hit you hard with a sword and make you lose your ability to fight......"
"That sword just now, if I hadn't dodged, would have left a deep scar directly on my arm and chest......" Garcia's complicated tone, "enough to make people lose their combat effectiveness......"
"Yes...... For "his' sake", I don't want to kill you. Levi spread his hands, "Now that you have enough awareness of the difference in strength between each other...... Why don't we take a step back from here? ”
"In that case, how am I going to explain it to the Speaker?" Garcia snapped. We can't help you if you're amazing, but can't we get rid of those rookie cops? "Even with you on board, it's a fact that they can't cross the water from here back to Crossbell...... You can't deny that. ”
"I ......"
Lévy was about to say something, but was interrupted by a somewhat childish voice. He looked over with some surprise and found that it was actually Kia, a little girl who had just been hiding far away with Ellie and Theo at the behest of Lloyd, and ran out of the hiding place while the other two girls were not looking. Facing the vicious mafia and the murderous Garcia at this moment, Qi Ya had no intention of being afraid at all, but took Lloyd's hand suspiciously, and asked in an almost coquettish tone: "Lloyd~Lloyd~ Who are they?" Why are you holding on to Lloyd......"
"Kia!" Lloyd felt his heart almost being lifted out of his throat, "How did you get out!" How dangerous ...... Hurry back and ......."
"Huh?" Such a commotion, apparently, also attracted the attention of Garcia. At this moment, he suddenly realized that in the other party's escape lineup just now, in addition to the strange masked man, there was also a little girl who appeared out of nowhere, "What's going on with this girl......
“…… You have the audacity to ask. Of the others, Waji's mind was the fastest. He looked at the panicked Lloyd and the still noisy Kia, and then at the confused Garcia over there, and sneered.
“…… Oh, yes. Randy's eyes rolled, and he also realized what Waji wanted to do, and immediately came over to help, "This kid is one of the 'goods' you put in the auction doll box...... You should be able to understand what I say, right? ”
"This ...... How is it possible, those boxes are filled with new dolls from Rozanbeck's workshop......" Garcia first aggravated his doubts, and then suddenly understood something, and his face immediately became complicated.
Although it is unlikely that no matter how you think about it...... But if it's true – when the suitcase containing the child is opened on the main booth of the auction, the huge power that "Rubacher" has worked so hard to manage for all these years will collapse overnight.
Public buying and selling of human beings at auctions, such a serious violation of the bottom line of the law, will not allow anyone to succeed in sheltering.
Just when Garcia was suffering from such a tangle, the unexpected surprise finally came. With a melodious roar, the blue-and-white wolf, who was disguised as a police dog in the support section, jumped down and looked around with cold eyes—and on the calm water by the lake, a guide speedboat that could carry six people was already clearly visible.
"Chief Sergei! And Zet! Theo and Ellie shouted in surprise. They had never expected reinforcements to arrive - if Levy's presence had given the two of them a hint of comfort, the moment they saw the section chief and Zeit, that comfort almost turned into a cry.
"Sergei Ro......" Obviously, when dealing with the middle-aged uncle in front of him with heavy bags under his eyes and as if he couldn't lift his energy, Garcia couldn't treat the other party as an ordinary police kid.
"I heard that too, and you must know what that means." Sergei still looked unfazed, as if his subordinates had just come to travel and had never experienced any danger, "I'll talk to you later...... You can take care of your situation. ”
"Hmm......" Garcia stood completely in place at this moment, and the anger and murderous aura just now had been dissipated without a trace.
"The one over there...... Hmm, I don't know what to call ......"
"Lawrence."
"Oh...... Mr. Lawrence. Sergei raised his head slightly this time, "I'll take the time to thank you in the future...... Thank you for helping them. ”
"It doesn't matter...... I just did what people told me to do. Levi said that this would have been true. Although it felt good to be trusted and thanked, Lévy still didn't want to have much to do with them.
Seeing this, Sergei didn't say much. With his movements, the speedboat swerved neatly and sailed in the moonlight towards the brightly lit Crossbell.
