48 Lady Revenge
When the Royal Cops stormed the Candid Inn, the owner, Glenn Gillis, was cleaning as usual. His store is not large, and he can hire one less person. And for himself, being idle is also idle, it is better to wipe the table and sweep the floor. Seeing the royal policemen rushing in, Glenn Gillis stopped what he was doing and looked at the leading officer.
"Hey, you, are you the owner of this shop?"
The leader was on his toes, and the Royal Policemen standing behind him had serious expressions, some of them carrying steam backpacks, and the steam rifles in their hands were emitting curling steam from the decompression holes.
Although he didn't know who he had offended, Glenn Gillis knew that these people were not something he and his backer Lawson could fight against. The Royal Police are not responsible for policing, and their actions are often directed by the royal family and are directed against criminals who are desperate or trying to subvert the state. Glenn Gillis thought that he hadn't done that badly enough, so he generously admitted it.
"It's me, I'm Glenn Gillis."
"Okay, come with us."
The leader waved his hand, and two men rushed up behind him, taking Glenn Gillis away. The rest of the police rushed up and began to search the small inn.

Hopping into the police wagons and turning around the streets of Roseville, Glenn Gillis could barely tell that he had entered a neighborhood in Uptown. Then, he was hooded, shoved, shoved, walked past a building, and was pressed to his knees.
"Do you remember me?"
A woman's voice came from a high place in front of her, and Glenn Gillis wanted to scold when she heard this, she was hooded, and just by her voice, who could remember who you were?
"Raviel Deedi, the girl who was robbed shortly after she came out of your shop."
The other man spoke, and Glen Gillis could tell it was the leader of the Royal Police. His heart chuckled, and he remembered the aristocratic little girl from the Qiao family. If this voice is really her, it can only be said that the city wall Haubridge is probably in serious trouble.
"I remember, a very sweet little girl."
"Is that what you can say?"
Someone kicked Glenn Gillis to the ground, and someone hit Glenn Gillis with a baton several times, with a lot of force.
"Call your Excellency!"
"Yes, sir."
Glenn Gillis was lying on the floor, hating Haubridge, this stupid big man didn't ask about the background first, it's okay now, how can he get out?
"Tell me, who was the man you were talking to that day and why?"
This time it was Miss Lavielle Dee Dee who was questioned, and Glenn Gillis was sure that this girl was definitely a big deal.
"My lord, I don't know either, that person seemed to have come in to ask for directions, and just happened to meet the adult coming down the stairs, the adult is so radiant, we both looked at it a few more times, and there is nothing else."
Glenn Gillis knew what these people were for, and he didn't like Demian Haubridge, but the underground society has its own rules. Even if these people are strong, as long as Hawubridge doesn't die, he can make up for it from himself. When the time comes, Glenn Gillis doesn't even want to think about the fate of a whistleblower.
"You're lying."
The woman's voice was cold, but still sweet. Glenn Gillis struggled to remember her face, but only the phrase "meal".
"Hit."
The leader of the Royal Police said only a word, and countless batons fell on Glenn Gillis. All that remained was the sound of heavy batons hitting flesh and Glenn Gillis's moans. After a while, the leader shouted to stop.
"Honest man, since you are called an honest man, I will not hide it from you. Whoever organized the robbery that day was, he was dead. I'm not kidding, it's the kind of death that is 'dead' in the real sense, completely, breathlessly. The adults have a good impression of you, at least they have solved the problem of staying overnight and eating for the adults, as long as you answer the adults' questions well, we will not only not hold you responsible, but will also give you some compensation. Whether you want to compensate or be killed by us, you choose. β
Glenn Gillis collapsed to the ground, most of the baton just now was blocked by him with the thickness of his own flesh, although it hurt, but there was no serious injury. He had very little contact with the Royal Police and did not know the truth of the leader's words. However, from what he knew about the city walls of Demian Haubridge, the man's background did not seem to be very tough.
Do you want to say it? Glenn Gillis was silent, but he knew that time was running out for him. If he drags on like this, it is estimated that the other party will not just beat himself.
"It's a pity, but I actually have a good impression of you."
The adult, who had used Raviel Deede's pseudonym, spoke again, softly with a slight trill, but the content made Glenn Gillis a little nervous.
"Alright then, come on, unload his right hand!"
"My lord! I say!!!!! β
For some reason, Glenn Gillis was extremely confident at this moment that the adult he couldn't see and the leader of the Royal Police would definitely do what he said. He called off the impending doom and confessed to the other party's suspect.
"My lord, that's one of Haubridge's men on the wall, Matt Worthington," said Glenn Gillis, gasping, "and he came that day to inquire about your whereabouts. They were looking for a girl who was running around in a maid's suit and was very rich. My lord stayed at our hotel that day, and I didn't want to say it, so I lied to him and said no. But at that time, the adult just went down the stairs and was seen by her, and I couldn't help it, after all, the ability of the small one is limited, and it is not easy to protect the store. β
"Who's the city wall Haubridge?" , the leader of the Royal Police shouted sharply.
"He is a leader in East, and he has a lot of gamblers under him, and he runs two casinos. Now working as a security captain at the Earl of Ross Hotel, he is very fat and has a lot of strength. β
"Count Rose? Which Count of Ross? β
"Qiu Ann Ross, I heard that the nobleman moved from the east."
There was silence in the room, and Glenn Gillis heard the rustling of writing. After a while, the leader asked him the same questions again and again, and then sent him back to his store, and before leaving, he threw him two tickets for one hundred dollars.
"This is for you, keep it, if we can't find Haubridge or he runs away, we'll kill you."
ββββββββββ
Javier Rigby, the front desk of the Count Ross Hotel, still remembers the little maid. has a mysterious background and a wealthy net worth, and he is also very good-looking. However, in the trajectory of his life, if he can meet such a girl, it is estimated that he will never see such a girl again.
"Little Javier, come here."
Haeubridge, the captain of the hotel guard, waved at Javier Rigby not far away, and Rigby put down his work and ran over. This uncle is said to have a lot of energy in the underground society, and he has a small front desk, so he doesn't dare to offend.
"No, this is for you, two hundred crowns, take it to your daughter-in-law."
Haubridge threw over two 100 crowns with a smile on his face, "Uncle, I recently made a windfall, and I have your share in it." β
"Me?"
Javier Rigby was a little confused, he never dared to get involved in the things of this uncle, and where did the benefits come from. He looked at the two hundred-crown-winning bills in his hand, a little excited and a little hesitant. Even in Rossville, two hundred crowns is a lot of money, and you can even buy a small apartment on the outskirts of West.
"It's you, don't ask so much, just take it", Haubridge smiled, and asked instead, "Uncle's business is coming in quickly, how is it, are you interested in coming over to help?" β
"That, I'm timid, thank you, uncle, I'm leaving."
Javier Rigby wanted to ask where the money came from, but as soon as he heard that Haubridge was trying to solicit him, he turned around and left. Where the money comes from is just a gossip, but if you really follow Haubridge, you probably won't live long.
And just as Javier Rigby had just taken a few steps, a group of vicious royal policemen burst into the hotel and knocked Haubrich down without saying a word. Rigby stood there and watched as the royal policemen put Haubridge's hood on his head, beat him with batons, and carried him away. No one in the hotel said a word the whole time.
"Little brother, tell your boss, the Royal Police handle the case, and he can change to a hotel guard captain."
I don't know who walked up to Javier Rigby and said a word, turned to leave. Rigby was stunned for two seconds, then reached out and clenched the two hundred crowns in his pocket.
In the future, I guess I won't be able to see this Uncle Haubridge.

Luna Brewster lifted her skirt and cautiously descended the steps. The fat man's moaning not far away was intermittent, making her a little irritable. After a few quick steps, he walked past the dirt and blood on the ground, and stood in front of Haubridge, who was already about a mess of rotten flesh, suspended in the air.
"Take off his hood."
This was the first time Luna had spoken since they captured Haubridge. The surrounding Royal Police took off Haubridge's hood, revealing a distorted face. The face looked at Luna carefully and sighed appointatively.
"Name your accomplices, and then we'll kill you."
Luna's voice was cold, like a rock in the wind, without temperature.
"Huh", Ha Ubridge spat out bloody phlegm, "Lao Tzu robbed you, you are a big man, you want to kill Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu confessed." But if you want Lao Tzu to betray your brother, fuck you will kill Lao Tzu sooner or later! What I regret the most is that I didn't you in the first placeβ"
"Bang Bangβ"
Two crisp lashes interrupted Haubridge's foul language, and two new lash marks appeared on his back, superimposed on the other wounds that were already bloody and fleshy, making them even more miserable.
"If you don't say it, we will kill you too, and then kill everyone who has a relationship with you. Your parents, your wife, your children, your brothers, your men, your women, all the people you know. β
Luna was a little upset with Haubridge's words, and her voice became even colder as she remembered the shame and despair of the day when she had been hooded and someone had touched her hand underneath her.
"You don't have to say that you're a tough guy, but someone will. The people behind me are the Royal Police, and they don't need evidence to handle the case, and they don't need to go through the courts, and if they die, they are dead. You must be dead, your brothers, you didn't provoke me, if you did, you could still live. Can you figure this out? β
Royal Police Sergeant Frass Navry, who was standing on the sidelines, looked at the little girl and listened to what she said, a little surprised in his heart. With what he knew about the lady, it was clear that she should not have such a cold heart and calm emotions. Now this girl who is as calm as usual in the face of bloody scenes, and can still extract confessions in a clear manner, makes Navlai wonder, what has happened to her at the age of only seventeen in that high mage tower?
"What's the matter if you're going to die anyway?"
"Anyway, we know who you are, and even if you don't tell us, we can find those people and kill them. Then, kill everyone you have a relationship with. If you can't figure it out, I can do it for you again. β
Luna's voice was unusually calm, and her eyes were staring directly at the hanging Haubridge, without any discomfort. Haubridge looked at the little girl who could easily kill herself a few days ago, and fell silent. It took a long time for him to raise his head and squeeze out a bloody smile.
"I said, my lord, I'll say it all."
Luna looked at Haubridge's face, a look of disgust for the first time. She turned to Navrei, "Over to you." β
Navre waved his hand and stepped forward with the recorder. Since this person's mouth has been pried open, the others are not far from death.
Leaving the interrogation room, Luna walked up two floors with a strained face, finally leaving the Royal Police's underground cage. She stood at the door of the side door of the humble building, looking at the towering Sanction Mage Tower in the distance, and with a whoop, she threw up.
ββββββββββ
Back at the Mage Tower, Luna meets Brooklyn, who is waiting for her.
"Solved?" Her tutor's voice was faint, and her face was a little tired. Luna's runaway caused her a lot of trouble, and she had only just cleaned up.
"Yes."
"Are you still running?"
Luna shook her head. Brooklyn whispered, got up and hugged Luna gently, "Freedom is a nice thing, but we're not qualified to enjoy it now. Our era is over, so we need to accept this reality and make ourselves happy. You're only seventeen, and you have endless possibilities in life, you know? β
"But I don't want to be that person's goods and be clearly priced."
"I don't want to, but he's the emperor, and he owns the whole country."
Luna was silent, and Brooklyn gently hugged her, her body shaking slightly. After a moment, Luna spoke softly.
"Who is it?"
Although the question had no beginning or end, Brooklyn understood.
"Commander of the 6th Army Corps in the Western Theater, Commander, Major General Joe McFawry."
"I don't know him."
"You'll know him."
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two ladies hugged each other tightly, like a silent tombstone.
