Claire, who was living in seclusion in the river, had no idea that her detailed location had been speculated, and when night fell, Claire climbed out of the river again and entered the upper area to begin routine reconnaissance.

Compared to the large lower middle class and the poor, the upper district is only a quarter of the area of the lower class, but it is also quite large, and Claire, who has always known that she is no match for Gelkate, has targeted Philips as the primary target.

Although the other party is one of the famous triumvirates in the free city, compared to Gelkate, who is like a monster and can even defeat Longa with the help of gem power, Philips has always been just an ordinary businessman, and he is not too young to be a middle-aged old man in addition to being rich and powerful.

As long as she can find Philipus, Claire is confident that she will kill Phillips with the power of the gem, but Philipus has several secret mansions in the upper districts, and each time Philips rests in different places, it is impossible to determine the exact location of Philipus. After all, as a big slave trader, Philip has too many enemies on the entire continent, he sells foreign slaves to make the Holy Capital hate him, and the sale of human slaves makes the Holy See not treat him, even in the free city, there are too many people who want to break their bodies because of him, especially after the orc riot and the arson case he created, Phillips was almost completely hidden from outsiders during this time.

Since he is one of the three giants of the Free City, even the powerful intelligence dealers in the Black Street rarely get their hands on him, and now Claire has to find a way to infiltrate the upper districts to search for any valuable information.

It is not difficult for Claire to enter the upper area with the help of gems, but Claire cannot always cover her body with gems when she is active in the upper area, and the upper district, as a wealthy class, is much higher than the lower district in terms of security patrols, and Claire, who wears a black cloak and a mask at night, can only stop and avoid guards all the way.

As she gets deeper and deeper into the upper zone, Claire finds that her current identity makes it less and less convenient for her to walk outside. So far, he has not been able to obtain a legal identity in the free city, whether he is a slave or a criminal, he can only live in the shadows, whenever the day comes, he can only hide in the waterways to study and sleep, and do not dare to come out and move quietly until nightfall.

In the upper districts, the night is the world of the rich, and many bustling downtown areas can be described as cities that never sleep, and everywhere are well-dressed aristocrats and rich people. A person like himself, wearing a black cloak and a mask, will immediately become the target of a search as soon as he walks by. There are many places that I can't get close to at all, and even if I can barely get in with the help of the power of the gem, my body can't last long.

And without a relatively legal identity, it is difficult to do anything in a free city.

Originally, the way to sell stolen goods in exchange for money through the black street was temporarily blocked, but Claire still has some money in her hands to support for a period of time, but only by stealing some scattered cash stored in the store can only meet the needs of food purchases at most, and the money in exchange for various intelligence is not a small amount, and now the most in addition to cash is all kinds of precious jewelry and gold, if the intelligence dealer is not willing to collect gems, gold and other valuables as payment, then Claire may only have to pay attention to the bank.

"Here it is┉┉"

On the way back after exploring. Before she knew it, Claire found herself walking to a familiar place, which was the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce that she had come to take care of once before.

At the side of the flower bed, Claire looked at the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce not far away, and after successfully stealing some things from the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce last time, Claire also collected some information about the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce before learning that this Chamber of Commerce has recently become famous in the Free City, and when it first came to the Free City, it instantly completed a huge trade of five billion liens, and recently launched a high-purity healing potion and a posture of competing with the Free City Pharmacists Association.

What surprised Claire the most was that the president of the Chamber of Commerce was actually a teenager named Lelouch Lampeluki, who was only a few years older than herself.

Claire involuntarily had a beautiful image in her mind, and the beautiful brunette girl she had never seen in her life also learned her name. Buyani Lampeluki is the younger sister of President Lelouch, and it is now rumored throughout the Free City that she has a stunningly beautiful face that is more beautiful than the elves.

A face that is more beautiful than a fairy┉┉

Yes, Claire believes that a young girl is indeed worthy of being described as such. When I saw her for the first time, my obsession with vowing to avenge Longa seemed to be diluted┉┉However, because of this, Claire hated her weakness even more, both physically and mentally.

Although she wondered why a quiet girl's space ring contained hundreds of millions of lien's wealth, Claire still felt guilty about the girl's things she stole from.

In this way, Claire quietly hid herself in the darkness and stared at the hall of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce with a confused gaze, obviously she was the same age as Lelouch, but he was high up, had great wealth and power, had a beautiful sister, and even had his own castle in the twisted and hideous city of Free City. Like the pride of the sky, the gods seemed to have bestowed all their favors on him alone.

And he was born a slave, he didn't even see his parents since he was a child, and the only thing he had in his memory was the pain caused by endless reprimands and whippings, and the whole world was a colorless gray world for himself, until Longa appeared and finally understood that there was still warmth in this world. But now the only warmth that comforts me has been ruthlessly taken away by the city.

Like countless nobles and merchants in the city, Lelouch walked in the light and enjoyed countless praises and owned all the good things in the world, while he could only lie dormant in the darkness to be hunted down and hunted down, and he could not even show his true appearance.

It makes people envious and wants to have everything he has.

Claire not only grabbed the gem hanging on her chest, but the blue gem seemed to sense what Claire was thinking and resonated slightly.

It's like I'm going to see which beautiful girl.,It seems to just take her away and let her ┉┉.

"Yes, I would love to have all of this┉┉But I will never forget my original intention┉┉"

Suddenly, Claire opened her eyes and grasped the gem tightly: "┉ You are seducing me, trying to make me follow the deepest desires of my heart and abuse your power, and finally usher in the moment of self-destruction, you want to break free of me, right?"

The resonance of the gem did not weaken but became more and more active, as if a person answered Claire's question without hesitation with the answer 'yes', Claire stared at the gem in her hand with a complicated expression, this gem not only has the power of not belonging to this world, but also seems to have an uncertain sense of self.

"If you really want to break free from me, then help me complete my revenge, and I will abandon you forever!!"

Claire looked at the gem and said to herself, the gem has a powerful mysterious power, but it is always a dead thing, if no one uses it, it can only stay quietly and do nothing, although Claire can feel that the gem will always inadvertently tease the dark desires in his heart, but as long as his will is firm and not tempted, then it can't do anything.

Holding the jewel Claire's head and leaving without looking back, although the obsession in her heart to see the beautiful girl was very strong, but another obsession called revenge still prevailed, Claire was reluctant to see the girl, because she felt very afraid, afraid that the revenge obsession in her heart after seeing the beautiful girl would be consumed by the girl's gentleness.

And not long after Claire left, a black shadow that jumped from the sky stopped instantly, and under the cover of the night, the pair of eyes that seemed to exude red locked on Claire with a fierce and firm lock, just like a hunter who had been looking for a long time finally found the prey he was most eager to catch.

Although they just glanced at each other inadvertently that night, the figure in tonight was so similar that the memories buried in the depths of the mind could not be suppressed and quickly recalled!

The figure that ran in front of his eyes┉┉ That night also ran through the same street in the middle of the night, the same black cloak, the same exuding an incongruous atmosphere, the only difference is that it did not rain tonight, but the scene in front of me is so familiar as if it can overlap with the picture of the sunset.

In an instant, the black figure immediately reversed its direction, even though the destination was less than fifty meters away, like a ghost dwelling in the night, the black figure quickly crossed the roof and followed Claire closely.

For the Lord of the Shadow Stream, today is his lucky day, the prey that was once misplaced because of his own negligence has come to his eyes again, the same mistake must not be made again, and today he will wash away this shame!

However, when he found that the other party was approaching the handover level between the upper and lower areas, he found that the other party paused slightly, and in an instant, the black figure disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.

This is!?

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his heart with calmness, the other party couldn't disappear out of thin air, it must have been some kind of trick, no one could hide his body in front of the Lord of the Shadow Stream!(To be continued.) )
