Outskirts.

At the gate of the castle where Alves once lived, he had just gotten out of the car when he saw Wilson, a spirited butler, standing at the gate, and five maids standing behind him.

Seeing Alves approaching with ease, Wilson bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Alves, welcome again." ”

Although more than a year later, Wilson recognized Alves.

Alves smiled, "Mr. Wilson, long time no see. ”

"This is my companion, his name is Haruto Mimori."

Pointing to the introduction of Mimori Haruto, Wilson bowed slightly again and said, "Mr. Mimori Haruto, hello!" I'm the housekeeper here, you can call me Wilson. ”

Mimori Haruto nodded and responded, "Hello, Mr. Wilson! ”

After that, Wilson said, "Mr. Alves, Mr. Haruto Mimori, dinner has been prepared for you, please come with me!" ”

Alves replied, "Excuse me! ”

After answering, Alves took Haruto Mimori and led by Wilson all the way to the restaurant, which was full of freshly cooked food.

After the two of them were seated, Wilson, who was standing next to Alves, said, "Mr. Alves, the master will come later." ”

Alves nodded and replied, "Okay! ”

Wilson slowly exited the dining room, leaving a few maids waiting.

After the two were full of wine and food, they lived in a room on the second floor of the castle under the guidance of the maid.

In the evening, it was past eight o'clock.

Wilson knocked on Alves' room, and then said, "Mr. Alves, the master is already on his way. ”

In the room, when Alves heard this, he got up from the couch and replied, "I'll come now." ”

Returning to the living room on the first floor, Alves sat alone on the sofa and waited after letting the maid leave.

Soon after, Alves heard movement outside the door, and as soon as he turned his head to look, Batra's figure came into view.

The moment he saw Alves, Batra hurriedly and heartily spoke: "Alves, I'm a little late!" ”

Standing up to greet him, Alves smiled slightly: "Mr. Batra, how are you doing lately!" ”

Batra nodded, then walked over to Alves and sat down on the couch in a beckoning manner.

The two chatted for a while, and then Batra pulled Wilson and the maids out of the way, and Alves sat up straight.

Batra took a sip of the coffee in his hand and said solemnly: "I'm ready to enter the game." ”

Alves said, "Thank you!" ”

After a pause, Alves then asked, "Do you have something you want me to help with?" ”

Batra nodded lightly and said, "I want to hire you into the game to complete the level as quickly as possible." ”

Alves glanced at Batra in surprise, then a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly, "I can promise you, but not now. ”

Hearing the first half of Alves's sentence, Batra was overjoyed, but the second half of the sentence made him feel stunned, and quickly asked, "Do you have anything else to do?" ”

Alves said softly: "You can say the same! However, the most important reason is because the conditions for clearing the game are not yet mature. ”

Batra didn't know why, and asked, "What kind of conditions?" ”

At the same time, Batra is also wondering, if according to Alves, doesn't that mean that they have no hope of clearing the game?

Alves shook his head, not intending to tell what he knew, but gave Batra a promise, saying, "Before the new century comes, I will enter the game, and I will bring out the items you want." ”

From Alves' point of view, he knows very well that if he wants to clear the Island of Greed, without Xiaojie's participation, the probability of success is extremely low.

Just Leiza's level, basically can't pass. Not to mention getting the No. 0 designated pocket card "Ruler's Blessing".

Behind the birth of the Island of Greed, although there is a reason why gold requires a huge amount of money, the internal environment of the Island of Greed is not difficult to find at all, and the process of playing the game is very suitable for hunters who have just left the rookie stage to experience.

Therefore, the game of Greedy Island, before Xiaojie enters the game, is basically impossible to clear.

Because this is the training place that Jin left for Xiaojie, everyone else is to accompany the prince to study.

Seeing that Alves didn't want to say it, Batra also had a consideration in his heart, and he also saw that Alves really knew a lot of information.

Batra talked with Alves for more than an hour, and then, escorted by bodyguards, left the castle.

Standing up, Alves stretched and thought to himself, "Now I'll wait for Saori and Darkel to bring someone over." ”

At this time, Saori on the flying ship, because of the sorrow in her heart, has been looking in the direction of the Sky Arena.

The Yatsuya Wine Gang, on this night, was once again attacked by the joint efforts of Carol and Clark's Gang, but under Mamiko's decision to shrink her strength, she did not lose much manpower.

Now, Mamiko is waiting.

She's waiting for news that Saori is safe.

As long as the news reaches her, then the Hachigu Wine Gang will turn into a vicious tiger that breaks free from its cage, revealing its fierce claws and fangs.

···

Wednesday, April 30, 1998, light rain.

In the morning, just after 10 o'clock.

Alves received a call from Darkel.

"Mr. Alves, we landed at the airport in the city of Riat about an hour later."

Inside the flying ship in the sky, Darkel was holding the phone he was talking to Alves, and across from him sat the expressionless Saori, with Argos and Gambier standing on either side.

"I see, I'll pick you up then."

In the silent room, hearing Alves' voice coming from the phone, Saori, who had lost her old smile, raised her head and said, "I have something to say to him." ”

Darkell nodded and said, "Mademoiselle has something to tell you." ”

Alves was slightly stunned and said, "Give her the phone." ”

After a while, Saori's voice came out of the phone.

"Alves, I want you to provide a safe place for my parents as well, what conditions do you have?"

The light in Alves' eyes flickered, and he thought for a while, but did not directly agree.

"Let's talk about this matter later!"

"Okay, let's meet and talk."

After hearing what Alves meant, Saori was not in a hurry for a while, after leaving the wings of Daigo and Mamiko, she really grew a lot.

An hour later, the flying boat landed safely at the airport in the city of Riat.
