Chapter 44: Aftermath
An orange taxi slowly pulled up in front of a lakeside villa. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info paid the fare, and Adeline got out of the car with grace. Someone in the villa seemed to see her approaching, and as soon as she reached the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.
The door was opened by a sturdy, dark-skinned bald man, and Adeline nodded at him and entered the living room. The bald man frowned slightly, closed the door casually, and followed in from behind.
"You smell blood!" Seeing that Adeline was about to go straight upstairs, the bald man suddenly spoke.
"Just kill a bunch of blind thugs......" Adeline stood up, leaning against the handrail of the stairs and turning her head,
"It seems that some news of our affairs has flowed outside, maybe there are traitors in the organization, maybe some people can't control their mouths. I think you need to get to the bottom of it. β
"Is it a local gangster?" The bald man crooked his neck, his brows furrowed even tighter, "You shouldn't go out alone, if I follow you, they won't dare to move." β
"Are you kidding? I am your superior, but not your prisoner, do you want to restrict my personal freedom? Adeline raised an eyebrow, her tone becoming a little unkind.
"No, I'm sorry, Miss Adeline, you know, I didn't mean that......" Swept by Adeline's cold gaze, the bald man shuddered involuntarily, and subconsciously lowered his head, "I'm afraid of your identity......"
"I have my own measure, and I don't need you to worry about it." Adeline sneered, and no longer paid attention to the somewhat embarrassed bald man, and walked upstairs on her own, and in a moment, the still cold voice came from above.
"Mind your own business, Mr. Murto. Also, my car is parked in the underground parking lot on Merder Strasse, so you can drive it back for me......"
Just as the bald head Murto rushed to the gathering place of the organization to investigate the traitors in a bit of embarrassment, the headquarters of the Black Bat Party in Nancheng District, the blue-nosed and swollen Durag was also being reprimanded by the boss.
A slap echoed in the living room, and the rest walked away in amusement, and the red-haired "Red Inu" Knight kicked the dwarf in front of him and roared:
"I gave you more than a hundred people, and I haven't been able to bring that woman back! Lao Tzu is more useful than you to raise a pig, do you know, in order to seize the opportunity of her to go out alone, how much I spent, but what about you, what have you done?! β
After a pause, Knight, who felt angry, kicked Durag again, "You dare to take the test subject out without permission, and you can't bring it back, why don't you **** just die outside!" β
"Right...... I'm sorry, boss. I was careless about the subject, but the woman ......" Durag rolled over in fear, but didn't dare to stand up, and just knelt at Knight's feet,
"I've let Eddie catch up with her, I guess I've caught it by now......"
"Caught? Should? And what about their people now? Don't tell them to bring the woman back!" Knight's anger subsided, and he walked back to his seat and sat down heavily, taking a sip from the coffee cup on the coffee table.
"I ...... I'm going to connect, I'm going to ......" Durag wiped away the blood that had spilled from the corner of his mouth, and crawled to his purse, scrambling to get his phone.
In his heart, he scolded Eddie's group for being bloody, because on the way back, he had contacted the group several times, but no one answered.
Seeing him struggling, Knight got up impatiently, snatched the phone, and dialed the number.
Ten seconds later, the phone was connected.
"Hello? Belch...... Well...... Hmmm......"
The call lasted about a minute or so, and only fragmentary sounds could be heard from Knight. After typing, he slowly closed the flap of his mobile phone, his eyes wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Uh, have they come back already?" Thinking about relieving relations with Knight, Durag asked in a flattering tone after a while.
Without an immediate answer, Knight raised his head and exhaled with a complicated expression, then threw his phone on the coffee table, looked into Durag's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Eddie...... How many people are there? β
"Well, Buck and the two of them were stuck in the middle of the road, and Eddie and they were outflanked from the side road with twenty men, and together with him there were twenty-three." Durag replied blankly.
"Twenty-three...... Twenty ...... You say they've already chased the woman? β
"yes, the last communication, they said they had blocked the woman...... There's a dead end right down Sixth Street......"
"She's alone?"
"Of course one, that nosy kid was pestered by us, and she didn't go out with a bodyguard...... Boss, is there something wrong? Realizing that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined, he stood up a little bewildered, and the next moment, Knight turned around sharply, waved his hand, and a louder slap knocked him three meters away, and Knight roared loudly in the room:
"That's right, she's alone, twenty-three of us here! You idiot stupid pig! Do you know if you have been ambushed by the enemy? This call was to the police station! Twenty-three, no more, no less, all of them died! After you caught the woman, they all died in that alleyβ"
......
At the intersection of Andu Street, all of them have been under martial law by the police at this moment, and the long blockade coil occupies a radius of tens of meters, and you can vaguely see a charred black pit in the center of the blockade area, and several forensic doctors in white coats are squatting there, carefully collecting something.
"Do you want one?" Sitting next to a police car, Shaq handed out a cigarette case to Raymond, who was walking towards him after finishing his business. Compared with the high-spirited and murderous appearance ten minutes ago, Shak now looks much more embarrassed.
The magic armor had faded, his coat was covered with black scorch marks, and the worst thing was that his flaxen-colored shawl-long hair was now more than half scorched, and his white face was all black ash as if he had just crawled out of the boiler.
Of course, Raymond in front of him is no better, if Shak hadn't discovered the clue in time and jumped into a nearby shop with him in his arms, the damn reformer might have to blow up half of his life if he finally blew himself up.
But although they avoided it in time, they were still ignited by the flames of the explosion, and both of them were disgraced.
Taking the cigarette with a calm face, lighting it and taking a deep breath, Raymond leaned against the car door next to Shack, and said in an indifferent tone:
"Of my six brothers, five were slightly injured and one was seriously injured, and the best one had to recuperate in bed for at least half a month...... So, come back to the police station with me in a moment, you have to give me an explanation about this! β
