Chapter Seventy-Seven: Autumn Goes, Winter Solstice
While the students of Hogg House were still immersed in the joy of the school festival, in the shadows, the undercurrent was quietly surging.
Central City, a street corner.
A man with a scar on his face stood behind another man, trembling and afraid to speak.
There was silence all around, and no one could hear the conversation between the two of them.
"Are you sure, Jill? Maybe you're wrong. β
"Boss, boss, I can see it very clearly! It's definitely her, there's no mistake!" said Jill firmly, "black hair, red eyes, good looks, thin build, like to drink...... It must be her, yes!"
"Oh, is it really her......" The man called the boss lowered his head and paced back and forth in place, "Lord Wild Waves asked us to help him find someone, but unexpectedly, we really found him." We're really lucky. β
"Boss Chad, who is that woman, why does Lord Wild Waves have to look for her?" Jill asked curiously, "Not only our Black Flame Gang, but all the gangs in Central City have received the task-whoever can find that black-haired and red-eyed foreigner will be rewarded by Lord Wild Waves...... Could it be that the strange woman is the wife of Lord Ragnar, or is it ......?"
"! what do you know?" Chad frowned, "It's not just the gangs in Central City, if I'm not mistaken, all the gangs in Godland have received his instructions!"
"God-given land...... How is it possible!"
"Even the small village on the edge of the Everfree Forest has some small gang looking for news of the woman, and they must have received orders from Lord Ragnar...... Otherwise, I can't think of any other possibility. β
"Oh my God, who is Lord Wild Waves, and he paid such a big price to find a strange woman......"
"......" Chad fell into deep thought.
He cares more about the identity of that woman than about the wild waves.
With black hair and red eyes, he couldn't guess where the woman came from, let alone her name and identity.
Obviously, the mighty abilities of the wild waves do not come from one person, and behind the wild waves, there is definitely a terrifyingly large organization.
In this way, their purpose is even more thought-provoking......
The so-called "looking for someone", in Chad's view, is more like a hunt and kill order! The reason why Wild Tao wants to find the whereabouts of that woman must be to kill her!
That's what Chad really worries!
If that woman is really the enemy of the wild waves, a threat that the huge organization must be eliminated, then, will their Black Flame Gang be implicated?
Kill somebody to do away with a witness...... If it were Chad instead, he would definitely destroy the Black Flame Gang who had too many secrets, not to mention, it would not be difficult for the organization behind the wild waves to destroy the Black Flame Gang.
What should I do? Should I tell him?
Chad couldn't make up his mind......
He also has countless younger brothers who follow him to eat, and if he stumbles, he is likely to fall into the abyss from which he will never recover.
However, if they manage to find the woman for the wild waves, they will get a good income.
The man who called himself Wild Waves, Shenlong, saw the head and the end, and it was his existence that allowed the Black Flame Gang to ascend to the sky in one step, growing from a second-rate gang to one of the largest gangs in Central City.
Countless magic scrolls, many of which are extremely rare, exist in the dark arts...... Relying on these powerful magic scrolls, the power of the Black Flame Gang has been greatly expanded.
It can be seen from this that the organization behind the wild waves has such terrifying strength, and the remuneration they get for doing things for them is definitely not something that can be described by the words "a lot of income".
What should I do? Do you want to tell the Wild Waves about the woman's whereabouts?
Actually, that woman is also an old friend of theirs.
In the shopping street that Jill is in charge of, they often see the woman. She was a great drinker, and always liked to walk alone through the dark alleys with a barrel of spirits in her arms in the middle of the night when no one was around, and sometimes she carried a drunken little girl on her shoulder.
Jill knew her more than once, so that night, Jill was able to recognize the monster in the darkness at a glance.
The monster left an indelible mark on Jill's fragile heart......
On several occasions he tried to make a windfall on the womanβa delicate little girl like this would make a fortune if she sold it to a slave trader.
However, after giving the arms of the four younger brothers, the legs of the six younger brothers, and his handsome appearance, Jill understood a truth.
That woman is a monster, a devil, don't provoke her!
That's right, the scar on Jill's face is the mark of the devil...... It was that woman who taught Jill what it means to be repentant, and it was that woman who gave Jill a new name.
Scar Jill......
"Boss?" Seeing that Chad was silent, Jill was a little weak-hearted and whispered tentatively.
"Don't worry, Jill, your benefits are indispensable. When I tell the Wild Waves of the woman's whereabouts, he will definitely have a share of the reward he gave us to the Black Flame Gang. β
"Okay, okay!"
"...... Jill "
"Boss, what else do you command?"
"Lately, I've always felt like something big is going to happen. You guys, don't mess with me anymore!"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Hmph, some time ago, have you forgotten what happened in the Silver Pine Forest? Our brother was killed inexplicably, and the murderer hasn't been found yet?"
"This ......"
"Hmph, at least don't let them die in vain! Let the brethren be careful, especially you!"
"Understood, understood......"
"Don't tell anyone else about this, or you know......"
"Understood!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
"What sound?"
"Boss, it's the Hogg House students who are setting off fireworks. β
"Oh. Chad replied lightly.
In mid-air, a huge fireworks burst into a dazzling light that illuminated the countless dim alleys of Central City, but in the blink of an eye, the light disappeared and could never be recovered.
There was a deafening explosion, and the fireworks display entered its final stage.
The treetops on the side of the street have long since lost a leaf, and the dead branches on the ground have also been cut by the autumn wind.
Late at night, passers-by who had not yet returned home unconsciously rolled up their collars to let the warmth hug their trembling bodies.
If only those cool winds could stop...... That's what they thought.
At this time, the wind really stopped.
The gods responded to the call, and drops of crystalline, transparent liquid fell from the sky, shattering the viscous air and gradually finding its meaning in the process of flying at high speeds.
"It's snowing?"
A small piece of snow fluttered and fell to the ground, melting into an inconspicuous puddle of water.
But it doesn't matter, there are thousands of people who will do the unfinished mission for it.
Countless small silver-white snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the cold earth at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and they announced to the world with a weak but firm voice.
The lazy autumn has passed, and the hard winter that needs to be warmed up to survive is coming.
