Unplugged. It took a lot of effort, but I finally pulled it off. Ed succeeded, and he succeeded in pulling out a large tooth from the miserable and bloody inner part of Pafrenza, which was almost about to be destroyed. Epic feats. Now there are not half of the teeth left in Pafrensa's mouth.

He was covering his mouth with one hand, rolling back and forth on the bed in pain. On the worst day of his life, he was on the verge of a tortured breakdown. But in fact, Ed feels that this level may not be very enough, and the spiritual will of this kind of person with dark beliefs is often outrageously tough in some aspects, more than the belt of a security officer.

Ed was going to tug at the belt again to see where its limits were, and if he could really surprise him. But he soon realized that he was wrong.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Ed held the maggot-writhing Baflorenza and raised his hand to his mouth, ready to give him another super layman's unpretentious tooth extraction, Paflorenza stared at him and screamed.

"Don't, don't come again! I say! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!! ”

“……”

Ed took his hand back again.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation." He said, his voice dry, his eyes fixed on Paflorenza's bloody, rosy lips, "Actually, it's okay for you to talk about it later." ”

"No, no, no, no, I'll say it now, I'll say it now!" Pafrensa's body shrunk almost backwards against the headboard of the bed, like a little girl running away from a rapist, looking at Ed in horror, gasping violently, "I told you what that came to me for—because Abu ...... Alpha Buhoda Gold Coins! ”

"Calm down, Mr. Pafrensa." Looking at Pafrensa, who was a little incoherent, Ed put his hands on his laps and said softly to him, "Be more detailed, tell me everything related to the whole thing." But try to be as fast as possible. I haven't eaten lunch yet and I'm hungry right now. ”

“……”

Ed is indeed hungry now, but judging from the performance of the tooth extraction just now, some basic strength is still there. Pafrenza swallowed the bloody saliva, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. He did seem to have calmed himself down a little, or his nerves had been tense for too long, and he was already a little nervous, and it was time to relax.

"What you want to know is actually very simple, not complicated at all." Pafrenza touched the sweat on her face—or rather the cold water, which she couldn't tell anyway—and said slowly, "The...... Rabid dog tithe, she came to me because of the matter of the Alpha Buhoda gold coin, because of the matter of Alpha Bunhoda and the two inconsequential button people at the bottom of the organization. ”

"Tails and Holly."

"Yes, that's them." Pafrenza glanced at Ed, and there was something strange in the depths of his eyes.

Ed nodded in thought. Button man, soldier, these are all names for the most basic members of the gang, and it is clear that the couple Tails and Holly are one of the low-level beings affiliated with A.R.X. Generally speaking, a top-level gangster organization of the level of A.R.X, similar button man cannon fodder is often countless, as many as there are.

"I've recently been in charge of an Alpha Buhoda gold coin business in the organization, and I can't tell you who the deal is with I'm sorry, it's against the rules of the organization - but I can tell you that the business is basically over, and it's time to deliver the money and get the money. Tails and Holly were supposed to take the goods to a designated location the night before, but they didn't. As soon as I got the news, I sent someone to deal with the matter, and the result was that the news I got was ...... They died, and it was as if they had killed each other after taking too many drugs and going crazy, and the goods were gone. ”

"You're going to put something so valuable in the hands of two buttonmen?" Ed raised an eyebrow.

"It's called the brain, detective - how many people do you think think the same as you? No one would think that the goods in the hands of two ordinary button men would be very valuable, and in fact, even they themselves did not know what they were responsible for. They were only ordered to deliver their packages to the designated place at the specified time. ”

"And then something happened."

"There are always surprises in business, and there is nothing to be particularly surprised about." Pafrenza snorted, "It would be nice to put everything wrong back in the way after that." ”

"How do you do that?"

"We haven't done anything yet." "We found out all the people involved in that incident—Tails and Holly, who are dead, and their daughter, Susan, is said to have gone with one of their nurses. Then another detective got involved and released all the second group of men I had sent......"

Pafrenza paused as she said this, blinked, and looked up at Ed. Ed gave him a friendly smile.

“…… Brought down the second group of men I had sent over, and sent them into the bureau. ”

"It's okay with me. I'm not that detective. ”

"Of course," Pafrenza nodded, "you're not." ”

"And then?"

"We decided that wherever the goods went, it must have something to do with Tails and Holly's daughter, Susan, the doctor who took care of their addiction, and the private investigator who came out of nowhere. However, the detective seems to have a relationship in the police station, so we focused our attention on Susan who escaped and the doctor who took her, and on the other hand, we think the two of them are the most suspicious. But after a little investigation, we found that the doctor and the girl Susan had disappeared, and only her two landlords, who knew nothing, were left in the doctor's rented clinic, and the police also intervened in the matter, and suddenly things became extremely troublesome. ”

"Hmm......" Ed nodded in a deep voice, and then suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth upwards as if he had thought of something very funny, "I'm afraid you never dreamed that that inconspicuous nurse doctor would be the legendary rabid dog Shiyiro, right?" ”

"Now I know."

Pafrenza lowered his head, his face unpleasant, very unsightly, as if he remembered what had just happened in this room, in this hospital, what had happened to his guards, what had happened to him. The unbearable pain in his mouth made his body tremble slightly, and his heart trembled slightly.

"She didn't know where she found out where I was, but it didn't matter. I know who she is, and I know what she can do...... She was one of those beings at the top of the food chain in the dark forest, and no one could escape her hunt if she wanted to. Her former prey couldn't be, and neither could I. Contrary to the harsh rhetoric of the past, Paflorence is now decadent like the decaying bark of a tree covered with age spots on a rocking chair in the corridor, and there is no longer a trace of sharpness, "Anyway she came and destroyed all my guards." She pressed me and asked me what the hell was going on with the gold coins. Listening to her, it seems that neither she nor the girl Susan took the gold coin, but because we thought that they took the gold coin, in order to escape our pursuit, they hid and acted first, trying to solve the root cause of this matter, solve the gold coin, so that they could get rid of the pursuit of A.R.X. - even she didn't want to be the enemy of the entire criminal organization. Individuals can never compete with a colossus as a conglomerate, unless they are too lucky, or the conglomerate machine itself is too stupid, too corrupt and incompetent, to the twilight that every organization of a similar nature does not want to face, but will one day need to face. But A.R.X is clearly not there yet, and Tithes are well aware of its horror and power. ”

Ed knew what Pafrenza meant, and knew he wasn't wrong at all. Of course, Tilo's personal ability is undoubted, but it is still dwarfed by a behemoth like A.R.X, and there is no possibility of confrontation. In fact, he didn't think that Tia would have had the idea of actually going to war with A.R.X.

But that's the problem. There is still a slight possibility that Tilo's own words will be left alone, but if he has another oil bottle by his side, it will be a different matter entirely. She had to take A.R.X's attention off herself and Susan—Susan, to be exact, or the little girl would die. That's why she wanted to figure out what the hell was going on with that damn Alphabhoda gold coin that had gone missing from Susan's parents.

Ed now finally understood, finally understood what role Tilo was playing in this matter, and finally understood why she would refuse to give Susan to herself.

On the one hand, she did not distrust him, and on the other hand, she did not trust him. She believed that what he said to her was true, but she didn't believe that he would be able to protect Susan in the hands of A.R.X. In fact, he felt that she was doing the right thing. If he looked at this matter from the same perspective on the other side, he should have made the same choice as her.

"You told her all of that?" Ed asked, looking at Baflorenza.

"I didn't want to, it's against the rules of the organization. But ......"

"I understand." Ed nodded and patted the back of Pafrensa's hand sympathetically, "But I suppose she shouldn't be satisfied with the answer she received, right?" ”

She ...... Truly. Pafrenza first glanced at Ed and clapped her hands with ghost-like eyes, then listened to Ed's words and recalled a little, "She seems to say, 'The problem has not been solved at all.'" ”

"She's right." Ed exhaled, stood up from the hospital bed with a solid gaze, stretched, and looked out the window, "There is only one solution to this problem. ”
