"A month ago, Joyce Best was living in Rose Manor, just outside the city, which was private territory, and the guards were so good at gunnery that my men couldn't sneak in."

"After that, I tried to buy the servants in the manor to deliver the message, but I didn't expect them to be so loyal to Bester that they weren't moved at all."

Hearing this, Joyce smiled, most of the servants in the manor were children who had been adopted by his father, William, and it was not easy to buy them.

"On May 24th, Joyce Best returned to Byam, and the surveillance work officially began."

It's pretty professional...... Joyce sneered inwardly, and found Eric's tone become depressed.

"However, the people I sent out to monitor, Amy was accidentally caught by the police, and two disappeared inexplicably, with heavy losses, but the results were almost zero."

"Luckily, Chloe only asked briefly twice and then didn't come."

Eric turned to schadenfreude and said:

"And I've heard that Ove's people are also dead, hahaha, they deserve it."

Wait, why can't I keep up with his train of thought, who is Ove...... Joyce thought so and asked.

Eric gritted his teeth and said:

"Ove is the leader of the gang who robs me of business, the owner behind the baywood bar, a particularly capable brute who never talks about politeness, bastard."

Joyce's doubts were not solved, so he continued to ask:

"This Ove, what does it have to do with Joyce?"

"The barbarian didn't know why, and he also sent someone to track down Joyce Best, who was also secretly wiped out."

Eric's explanation was really unexpected by Joyce, no, it should be said: there was a windfall!

How many people have I offended! Why are you spying on me! Gan!

It's almost time to make a table of mahjong...... Joyston was tired and had to ask for Ove's details.

Thirty years old, tall, never trimmed a messy beard, good at fighting, greedy for alcohol and lust, recently adopted a woman from the Red Theater, living at 54 Xiangshu Avenue......

Sure enough, the enemy knows you best...... After Eric's in-depth introduction, Joyce's mind quickly formed a complete image of Ove.

Sounds like a low-order Extraordinaire of the Warrior Path, but who is he under his orders to spy on me? Wouldn't it be Chloe...... Joyce's mind kept turning, and he asked on a whim:

"Do you know Ianna?"

Eric shook his head: "Haven't heard of it. ”

Joyce had already had the answer to his question, and had received additional clues, and the gain was enough, and finally asked, just in case:

"What else can you tell me about Joyce Best?"

Eric thought about it seriously, but still shook his head: "No." ”

Okay, Joyce cocked Erlang's legs and said contemptuously:

"Then tell me about yourself, what bad things has a qualified gang boss done?"

Eric seemed to be interested, and even his expression was much more vivid, including instigating the former gang leaders to kill each other, cutting out the tongues of the enemy's entire family with his own hands, raping and killing women, and abducting and selling children......

A demon disguised as a gentleman, a typical psychopath...... Joyce listened coldly, suppressed his anger, and finally followed him out of the room.

"I'll go out with this lady, you don't have to follow."

Eric gave a word to the bodyguard outside the door, and led Joyce out of the bar, and after two corners, found the carriage parked in its place.

Sophia was doubting her life, when she suddenly saw a strange man enter the carriage, and Leng Buding was startled, and before she could ask, she saw the baron in women's clothes also follow.

The carriage starts.

"Who is he?"

Sophia blinked her eyes and asked Joyce.

The latter quickly understood, ordered: "Introduce yourself." ”

"My name is Eric, and it's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful young lady."

Eric said as he put his hand to his chest and bowed.

Even though he behaved like a gentleman, it did not prevent Sophia from showing an extremely shocked expression and blurted out:

"Eric! The boss of the Gentlemen's Gang! How did you end up here? ”

"It's down there, as for why I'm here, it's naturally the master's order." Eric admits with a blank face.

Master! Who is his master? Sophia turned her gaze to Monsieur Baron, who pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, then closed her eyes without any desire to answer.

Sophia was full of doubts with nowhere to answer, and she didn't want to look at the child trafficking gangster, so she turned her head to one side, and finally learned Joyce's half-closed eyes.

The carriage moved smoothly and reached its destination in Sophia's ordeal.

In a strange house, very quiet nearby, Sophia asked:

"What is this place?"

"This is my home, beautiful young lady, a safe house known only to me and my master."

Eric opened the door with the key and made a gesture to enter.

Noticing the gaze cast by the maid lady, Joyce nodded calmly:

"It's okay, let's go inside."

In the interval between Eric's orders to pour the wine, Sophia finally couldn't help but speak, and a series of questions kept popping up from the cherry mouth:

"Why are we here? When did you become his master? He's a big badass! What the hell is going on? ”

Joyce's hands were empty, and he motioned to Miss Maid to calm down:

"It's a complicated matter, and I'll explain it to you later."

"Answer me a question first, have you ever seen a murder?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, remembering the night she was rescued ten years ago, when Mr. William led his soldiers to exterminate the gangsters, and the smoke of iron and fire soaked the soles of her shoes......

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"That's good." Joyce was a little surprised, but continued to say calmly:

"Don't scream for a while."

Scream? Why? Sophia didn't understand what Mr. Baron meant.

Joyce didn't explain, because Eric came over with a bottle of red wine and, like a waiter, poured two goblets and placed them on the table.

Joyce smiled at this and said to Erik, "Thank you." ”

"Can you turn around?"

Eric had no objection, and behind him, Joyce pulled the revolver from his waist, aimed it at the back of his head, and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang", blood and brains oozed out, and Eric fell to the ground.

Joyce, on the other hand, raised the red wine without the slightest wave, and drank it down.

Sophia covered her mouth with her hands, and sure enough, she didn't scream, looked at the corpse, and then at Monsieur Baron, and her thoughts only turned into one sentence:

"Why?"

"This is the cruelty of the extraordinary world."

Joyce put away the revolver, as if to say to the maid, and as if to say to herself:

"Madness and danger are never inevitable when you step into this world."

"We fight against enemies in the open, with enemies hiding in the shadows, and even against ourselves."

"He's damned." Sophia whispered.

"What?" Joyce asked in amazement.

Sophia stared at Eric's corpse and said loudly:

"He's damned."

"I want to be extraordinary, just to make these people disappear and make the world beautiful and good."

What an innocent dream that can never be realized...... Joyce sighed inwardly and poured herself another glass of wine:

"I hope you can keep that passion alive."

"Cheers."
