Chapter 19: The Chess Pieces

Light Red City, slums, in the black axe bar, a cold-faced man in casual clothes is sitting in a small corner drinking alcohol, several warblers who mustered up the courage to come up and ask for service were persuaded by the man's cold eyes, next to the table opposite him was lying a bald man with tattoos on his body, now his head is breaking a hole, red blood keeps flowing out, the two big men around the table are now sweating profusely, their eyes are panicked, the reason for their panic is very simple, Because a huge green praying mantis was sitting on their table, and his two sharp scythes were already across their necks.

The people in the bar didn't seem to see this strange scene, and they all chatted and drank as usual, and the loud clinking glasses and the screams of the barmaids and all kinds of braggadocio resounded throughout the bar, but several children standing in the corner of the bar looked at each other after seeing this scene, and then, a black-haired child in a ragged linen dress quietly went out of the back door of the bar.

In less than two minutes, five Black Axe gang members wearing black uniforms of the Black Axe Gang and several Poke Balls hanging from their waists broke down the door and came to the cold-faced man, led by a fat man with two axe tattoos tattooed on his face, unceremoniously stuck a small axe hanging from his waist on the cold-faced man's table.

"Knock~", the voice in the bar was immediately suppressed by this voice, and suddenly there was silence, and some people in the bar stretched their necks to watch the play quietly at this time, and they also whistled.

"Boy, come from out of town, this is the territory of our Black Axe Gang, you actually dare to beat our Black Axe Gang, are you tired of it?" The fat man with a fat face pointed his finger at the cold-faced man and said fiercely, the fat finger was about to poke the cold-faced man's face, but the fat man's fingers froze when they were three centimeters away from the cold-faced man's face.

The fat man saw a pair of cold and ruthless eyes, he was absolutely not mistaken, it was a look of indifference to life, this kind of look can only be possessed by a murderous executioner, and the fat man who has walked in the gray area for many years has only seen it three times, this is the fourth time, and the guys with such eyes are all people who are possessed by the killing god.

"This adult, our people are not sensible, you have a lot of them, let them go, as long as it is an adult in the future, our Black Axe Gang will definitely serve the adult with all our heart." After knowing that he had offended a killer, the fat man's originally vicious face immediately became as honest as a smiling Buddha, and he was a dog's leg, but the cold sweat on his head kept coming out, and the guy behind him also showed a look of panic after being glanced at by the cold-faced man.

"I'm waiting for someone, if you don't want to die, get out of here." The cold-faced man looked at the fat pig's face with cold eyes, with disdain in his eyes, then turned his head and continued to drink the bitter wine in the cup in his hand, and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, yes, let's get out, adults, drink slowly, I'll pay for this wine, I'll pay for it." Hearing this, the fat man nodded and said, and then glared fiercely at the two subordinates who were held hostage by the Flying Mantis.

The fat man came and went in a hurry, he didn't even need an axe, and it took less than 2 minutes before and after the incident to the end, but after the fat man left, the table around the cold-faced man immediately vacated a large area, and those who were watching the play and laughing loudly also checked out and left.

The cold-faced man continued to drink, and the guests in the bar continued to laugh, as if everything was back to normal, but a depressing atmosphere had been enveloping the entire bar, and some of the guests began to lose it and left one after another.

An hour later, a little boy with dirty hair appeared in the empty bar.

The yellow-skinned little boy didn't know why the bar, which was supposed to be bustling at noon, was so deserted, but he knew he was hungry, he clenched a few coins in his left hand, and then he mustered up the courage to go into the bar, and then put the note in his right hand on the cold-faced man's table as the mysterious man had instructed, but just as he gently placed the note on the table and wanted to turn away, a sharp sickle was caught in his small neck.

The little boy didn't scream, just looked at the murderous green mantis in front of him with a nervous expression, he gritted his teeth and tried not to tremble his body, but the fear in his heart couldn't be suppressed, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

After reading the note on the table, the cold-faced man waved his hand at the Flying Mantis, and the Flying Mantis understood and let go of the scythe on the little boy's neck, and the little boy immediately ran out of the bar like a gust of wind and disappeared into the alley.

The note read: Early morning, old place.

After the little boy left, the cold-faced man also got up and left, leaving a copper on the table before leaving.

As soon as the cold-faced man walked out of the bar, several "drunks" who were still drunk on the ground suddenly opened their bright eyes and walked out of the bar one after another.

Ten minutes later, several mutilated bodies appeared in the alleys of the slum.

In the early hours of the morning, on the outskirts of Light Red City, in an unfinished building, a cold-faced man sat on a dusty chair and gradually looked at the cold moon outside the window.

The footsteps of "Da Da~" appeared in the unfinished building, and the cold-faced man slowly turned his head to look at the black-clothed masked man in front of him by the moonlight.

The two looked at each other for a minute, then each threw an ordinary stone from their hands that was half missing, and the two stones accurately overlapped in the air, and then flew back into their hands.

"Why do you want to contact me at this time, the limelight has been very tight lately, and I have a great chance of being exposed, if you don't give me an explanation, I won't be done with you." The man in the black mask said disapprovingly in a hoarse voice.

"Not over? What kind of thing are you, you can come and come, without the resources we give you, you can grow so fast? Just do things for us honestly. The cold-faced man said with a gloomy face.

"What if I say no?" The man in the black mask counted coldly.

Suddenly, a sharp scythe fell from the sky, wanting to split the black-clothed masked man in half, but a large cloud of black sludge suddenly emerged behind the black-clothed masked man, directly forming an umbrella to block the turquoise scythe attacking on his head, and then a sludge big hand stretched out from the sludge to pinch the flying mantis on the top of his head, but the sturdy flying mantis immediately avoided the attack of the sludge big hand with a flap of the wings behind his back, and then returned to the cold-faced man's side.

"The plan is ahead of schedule, I have to use your chess piece, hand over all the information you have gathered, everything you want is here." The cold-faced man looked at the black-clothed masked man in front of him with a solemn face and said.

"Oh, is it? What does that have to do with me, now that my danger has increased, of course, the reward should be increased a little bit, double, I want double the reward. The man in the black mask said coldly.

"Double! Aren't you afraid of dying? You have to remember that you are not the only chess piece, I can change the trading partner at any time. The murderous aura on the cold-faced man's body surged, and his eyes were cold.

"Hmph, whatever you want, the deal is terminated." For the murderous aura of the cold-faced man, the man in the black mask didn't hear it, and turned around and left directly.

"Wait a minute, leave the things behind before you can go, Geng, kill him." Seeing that Gu Nan was so tough, the cold-faced man finally couldn't help the killing intent in his heart and immediately made a move, but, after a minute, Geng Ghost did not appear.

"Hehehe, do you mean this guy, Appa Monster, give it back to him." The black-clothed masked man smiled slightly, and then said to the darkness above his head, and then a Geng ghost who had lost his ability to fight fell from the top of his head, and the purple gas that made up his left hand seemed to have been bitten off by something, and a large piece was missing.

Immediately after, the sound of "hiss" sounded, and a large purple snake emerged from the darkness with its majestic snake head, staring greedily at the cold-faced man in front of him.

"I really can't imagine that in just a few years, you can grow to this point, it's really blinding, but if you only have such a little strength, you still have to die." The cold-faced man didn't look at the seriously injured Geng ghost on the ground, but stared at the black-clothed masked man, and then took out a golden Poké Ball from the necklace around his neck.

"You'd better not let him out, tell you that Caesar is nearby, and if you don't want to die, you'd better obediently meet my request." Seeing the cold-faced man take out the golden poke ball, the masked man's pupils suddenly shrank, and then said slowly.

"Hand over the things and spare you from dying."

"What do I want?"

The two of them said at the same time, and then they both stared at each other tightly, the air around them seemed to freeze, and both of them exuded an amazing murderous aura, and they were about to pull out their swords.

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence.

"Really second brother, are you in there? Master Caesar has asked us to assemble. A Rocket soldier appeared at the door of the unfinished building and said loudly.

"Hmph, there's only one copy, don't forget it." When the cold-faced man heard the voice, he instantly reined in the murderous aura on his body, and then took out a small package from his body and handed it to the black-clothed masked man.

Without hesitation, the man in the black mask also instantly restrained his murderous aura, and after taking the small package, he opened it and took a slight look, then took out a small black notebook from his body and threw it to the cold-faced man.

"It's all drawn in detail, the structure map and firepower distribution location of the base of the Light Red City Rocket Team, if it can't be breached, it's a problem of your alliance, give you a piece of advice, in a week, Caesar will leave the base." After the black-clothed masked man threw the small notebook to the cold-faced man, he immediately turned around and walked towards the darkness in front of him

"Shinji Ryuzaki, what a disobedient pawn." The cold-faced man didn't look at whether the small book was real or not, and after keeping it close to him, he looked coldly at the darkness in front of him.
