After reading all the disappearances, Varina and Hugh discussed a few words.

They quickly came to a consensus that Cruz on Greenfield Road was the most suitable target to continue their pursuit.

From the information available, it is likely that this Cruz was sold to the underground slave trade market by the casino side to offset the gambling money he owed.

This fate is also in line with Varina's plan.

They only need to follow up a little bit to confirm this suspicion and get the corresponding evidence.

With this evidence pointing to the underground slave market, and the fact that Varina did go to the Boiling Blood Bar, the connection between the two would be less abrupt.

And at this point, the tracing commission is over.

After all, under normal circumstances, any bounty hunter or detective would wisely choose to stop when the investigation touches that market.

Under the deliberation of Varina and Hugh, the whole line of misguided planning was completed through the disappearance of Cruz.

All that's left is execution.

The adjournment is tasked with "investigating" Varina's visit to the Boiling Blood Tavern the night before his disappearance, while Varina is tasked with investigating the Boiling Blood Tavern's casino.

After the discussion, they ended the slightly longer dinner and parted ways.

……

At ten o'clock in the evening, Varina arrived alone at the Boiling Blood Bar on Greenfield Road.

Instead of blindly going to someone for questioning, he first went through the "VIP passage" and went to the flea market in the loft of the bar again.

Unlike the nervous state of mind when he first came, this time he calmly took a turn in the market.

Judging from the pricing, there should not be any potion main materials among the items traded here, and most of the items on sale are some spiritual materials that are easy to collect and process.

I don't know if it's really not involved in the trading of potions, or if there are other trading rules.

Varina approached the cloaked man with the standard contract beside him and whispered, "Dark Brotherhood." ”

"What are you talking about?" The other party asked rhetorically with some vigilance.

After all, such a joint point is mainly for customers, but it does not have the function of connecting with the members of the organization, so there is no corresponding code.

"Ketra Law Firm." Varina whispered the second sentence.

Through these two sentences, the cloaked man was convinced of Varina's identity.

He glanced at the audience slightly, and then said, "You should know that no matter what you want to do, it's useless to look for me." ”

"I'll just ask a few questions," Varina grinned, "about the Boiling Blood Bar down there." ”

"Can you answer?"

The cloaked man replied coldly, "You can ask first." ”

Varina thought for a moment and decided to start with a simple question: "I want to know who protects the casino downstairs and which gang those thugs belong to?" ”

"The Blood Vials."

Well? I can't think of this in the territory of the Blood Vial Gang, I wonder if the death of the old viscount has any impact on this gang?

After a few thoughts, he asked:

"If I want to find a gambler who has been seized and taken away, where should I go?"

"Go to the mines, to the factories, not with me." The cloaked man sneered.

Varina under the cloak frowned, stepped forward, grabbed the back of the chair next to the cloaked man, used force in his hand, pinched one of the corners, and threatened in a cold voice: "You have one more chance to answer." ”

The cloaked man in charge of the joint in front of him was nothing more than an ordinary person, frightened by Varina's power.

He spoke again, his tone and content changing dramatically.

"They will lock the gamblers in the basement, and if they can't pay the ransom, they will be taken away, and they will definitely end up in slavery."

With the idea of giving it a try, Varina asked one last question: "Do you know where the entrance to the basement is?" ”

"It should be at the back of the casino area," replied the cloaked man, "I don't know exactly where." ”

Varina nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and turned to leave the attic.

He made his way out of the bar, avoiding the scattered pedestrians on the street and jumping onto the roof of a nearby bungalow.

Then, with his light dexterity, he silently made his way through several houses and jumped onto the roof behind the Boiling Blood Bar.

There were so many people in the tavern that it was difficult for him to get to the back of the casino through the normal passageway, so he had to try to make a detour from the roof.

The results were disappointing.

The area at the back of the tavern is a complete wall, and there is not even a single window.

Or maybe there used to be, but now it's been sealed.

Varina had no choice but to get off the roof and re-enter the bar in search of an opportunity.

Continuing deeper from the bar where the chips are exchanged, you will arrive at the casino area.

In the middle of this is a hall with several large tables offering games such as roulette, puzzles, etc., and is crowded around.

On either side of the hall are a number of separate rooms for a small number of people, usually played with cards such as Texas Hold'em.

Pretending to be a curious novice gambler, Varina weaved her way between several large tables crowded with a large number of gamblers, while scanning the open passage with a covert gaze that was forbidden to outsiders.

There are two thugs in charge of guarding, and gamblers who get closer will be warned.

"There are actually two people, it's really troublesome."

Varina observes a circle and finds a small patch of shadow to exploit.

It wasn't far from the passage, and if he was given the slightest gap, he could sneak in through the passage and hide in the shadows on the other side.

But the difficulty is that there are two guards.

If there is only one, he can also connect the guards to the items, artificially creating a gap, and there is nothing he can do about the two.

After waiting and watching for a long time, Varina couldn't wait for a good opportunity, but thought of a solution.

He ducked into the shadows through the guard's line of sight, and then moved to the best position to wait for his chance.

Soon after.

A gambler is unlucky and plans to play differently.

When he was halfway there, his head suddenly emptied, and he temporarily lost his consciousness, and his body continued to move forward in the previous direction, and soon came to the guard's warning range.

"Hey, stop, don't come!" One of the guards shouted.

However, to no avail, the gambler seemed to be sleepwalking, still continuing to get closer.

The shouting guard took two steps forward and kicked the approaching gambler out with a single kick.

The gambler came to his senses when he landed, completely unaware of how he had walked to the restricted area in a daze, and had been kicked in vain.

No one noticed that when the guard kicked someone, the other guard had an empty head and was distracted for less than a second.

In that second, Varina's body clumped together, swiftly passing through the guard's side like a ball, and into the shadows across the passage.
