Chapter 1 The Hunter Prey
In a manor on the outskirts of the royal capital of the Kingdom of San Perrault, the winter sun is warm, and there are some shadows sprinkled on a few evergreen trees. Several elegant buildings in the manor are at the mercy of the manor. It was a common vacation place for aristocrats who were tired of the hectic life of the big city. An old man was sitting in a rocking chair in front of the window at this time, enjoying the rare afternoon sun, even in such a comfortable and comfortable environment. The drooping corners of his mouth still filled his face with majesty.
"Hyde master, here they are. A swift and calm figure walked in and said to the old man in the rocking chair.
"Oh, go and say hello first, tell them I'll be there soon," Hyde said lazily.
Arthur and his two retinue turned into fowls flew for almost a week to reach the first destination of the trip, but at this time they had to sit here bored and eat snacks. He casually observed the decoration in the house, but in his heart he was thinking about the people he was about to meet, Hyde Abigai, the general leader of the Southern Thieves Guild of the Kingdom of St. Perot, and the senior leader of Bloodthorn, McGee, the rebellious guild leader of St. Roll, was one of his subordinates, and Hyde should be very responsible for this matter, but looking at his attitude, it was really difficult for Arthur to understand.
Finally, after a long wait, Hyde finally walked in slowly from the next door, and said enthusiastically, "It's Arthur! ”
"Uncle Hyde, my father greets you. I'm here to ask for your help. Arthur said with a respectful salute. Without too much politeness, get straight to the point. After all, he couldn't control the whole of Saint-Rol with two retinues, which was indispensable for Hyde's help.
"This President Andrew must have already commanded! I will fully cooperate with you, Arthur will introduce to you, this is Mark, he will now be under your command, as for the rest of the people, there are already arrangements in the city, McGee, this stupid pig, will soon become your prey. I've already asked the cook to prepare dinner, so I'll have a good rest tonight and leave tomorrow. Hyde waved his hand absently.
Greeting Arthur and them, the middle-aged man who had been standing behind him since Hyde came in walked up to Arthur again, looking thirty or forty years old. Arthur's information was already in his information, a man who had competed with McGee for the presidency of St. Roll, and after his defeat, he had taken refuge under Hyde's wing. His help did make Arthur more assured, but there was only one position as guild leader.
Instead of having dinner at Hyde's manor, Arthur chose to take a carriage to St. Rolle to meet the betrayer named McGee. He had ascertained that the information in his possession Hyde also knew that the loss of a city without fear of any punishment was unimaginable in the heavily disciplined Bloodthorn, then there was only one possibility, and it was an agreed plan. But Arthur couldn't guess the exact content of the plan now, quietly closing his eyes and recovering his spirits, listening to the gurgling of the carriage as it walked across the stone path.
A voice suddenly broke the dullness in the car and said, "Master Arthur, that old man's attitude is so strange!"
"Ruo, please call President Arthur or Head, and that isn't an old man, it's President Hyde. Before Arthur could speak, another voice rang out.
"Shut up, Kim, then why don't you call me sister!": Ruoi immediately fought back.
"Ruoyi, we are in the process of the mission, the mission!" Kim emphasized.
"Shut up!" Arthur's voice blocked Ruoi, who was about to fight back. The head hurts a little, Ruo Yi and Jin are the retinue or subordinates of the Arthur faction of Bloodthorn, they are both rookies who have just graduated from the bloodstained training camp, they are obviously sisters and brothers, but they are always hyping along the way. This made Arthur wonder if they were really being trained by the "crows"? Both siblings had red hair, but their personalities were like two grades, and they were always serious and reasonable, and never got angry. And Ruo Yi is like a fire, which explodes when touched.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that both of them are quite obedient, which is also the result of training along the way. On the first night of coming out of Bloodthorn, Ruoi was so angry with Kim's attitude that he pounced on Kim, who continued to talk while dodging. Neither of them took Arthur, who was born as a nightingale, to heart, and as a result, both of them were defeated by Arthur at the same time and fell from a tree all night. It took several times to get today's effect.
They walked for an afternoon, but when Arthur and the others arrived in Saint-Rolle, it was already night, and there was no curfew in the city in the center of the kingdom. And the first thing Arthur had to do was meet the betrayer.
Although it was night, the city was still lit up to show Arthur, a newcomer, his prosperity, and in this prosperity, the most dazzling was this McGee's home. The mansion was exaggerated, which seemed exaggerated to a thief leader, but it wasn't surprising considering that Mr. McGee had been operating the place for more than a decade. Arthur sat in the car and asked Joe to inform him of his arrival, and sat quietly in the car and waited, as he expected.
Arriving at the Alliance Hyde made Arthur wait for a long time, but the rebel hurried out to meet Arthur. This comparison made Arthur want to laugh a little.
McGee was fat, and wearing a plastic dress made him look even fatter, and years of luxury had worn away his vigor back then, and now he was out of breath when he took a few more steps. Just now, when he heard that Bloodthorn's envoy had come to visit him, he jumped out of bed almost as fast as he did back then, and his heart was full of fear at that time, so to speak, when he chose to betray Bloodthorn, he was full of fear, and he knew what kind of organization Bloodthorn was.
But when he walked out the door to greet the demon in his heart and got out of the car, he breathed a sigh of relief: it was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.
Arthur asked Kim and Joe to wait in the carriage, they wanted to refuse, after all, their most important task was to protect Arthur, but seeing the look in Arthur's deep blue eyes when he looked back at them when he got out of the carriage, they decided to wait here, it was the light of the beast hunting.
No one would dare to assassinate an envoy of the Bloodthorn Society, even if he was just a child.
McGee led Arthur into the parlor, and Arthur was amazed by the luxury along the way, this little man could have lived much more extravagantly than Andrew's father, the tall house, the flashy carvings, and all kinds of vassal elegance artwork, all of which made Arthur understand the taste of the pig in front of him.
When she arrived in the living room, a woman was lazily leaning on the sofa looking at a book, her long black hair was naturally curled, and her slender legs stretched out from the red nightdress were enough to make any man's heart move.
"Go back to the room," McGee yelled. This woman is one of his pride, such a stunner is not something that ordinary people can get, in addition to power, there is luck. Looking at Arthur as if he were glued to a woman's gaze. McGee was both smug and disdainful, but those emotions turned into complete happiness as he listened to Arthur say a few words.
He was completely relaxed, unbuttoned it with a big grin, and even unceremoniously put his feet on the table in front of him. Even the tone of speech is no longer so respectful and polite.
Because Arthur actually persuaded him to return to Bloodthorn, when Arthur was slightly nervous about the disadvantages of betrayal, and seriously "guessed" that the brotherhood who had plotted against McGee was uneasy, McGee couldn't help but laugh at the other party's childishness.
Betrayal is always a point of no return.
"The Brotherhood is not kind? That's better than Old Man Hyde's heart."
Childish, naïve, that's all he thinks at this time. But McGee resisted the urge to laugh, and said with a bitter face that his betrayal was all out of necessity, and that Hyde had no choice but to let Mark, who had a grudge against him, take his place, and proudly said that he had been in this position longer than Arthur! As long as the Bloodthorn Headquarters recognized his position in St. Roll, he would consider returning to the Brotherhood.
Then he watched Arthur listen to him, muttering about Hyde's no, and hopefully saying that he would persuade Bloodthorn to accede to his request. McGee's psychology is simply overjoyed, in fact, he is ready to flee, with the wealth he has accumulated over the years, it should not be a problem to find a quiet position in the Brotherhood, in that case, Bloodthorn will not easily move him to start a war with the Brotherhood. But he really couldn't let go of his "inheritance" over the years, so he decided to stay and observe Bloodthorn's attitude, and he was now deeply glad for his decision.
Arthur's purpose in coming here was not to talk about this traitor, but to stabilize him, and if he escaped it would be troublesome, so he came to visit this traitor in order to be less troublesome. How could he not feel the change in this guy's attitude, if he made him feel any threat today, maybe tomorrow he would disappear. Although the city can still be obtained, it lacks this most important "color head".
Whether it's Hyde's pre-deity or McGee's pro-dew, Arthur can guess why, but he doesn't really care, because what he's after is not the same as these people.
And tonight, he met one of the goals he was pursuing. The beautiful woman, who was as lazy as a Persian cat, just made him want to try something, and as for the pig, it was already in his oven. After killing him, Arthur will also get everything from him, including her.
And everything else is just a bonus to the game.
It was late at night, and Joe and Kim stood by the car door waiting for Arthur to arrive, Arthur was in a happy mood, he had been in this world for so long, and he could finally realize something freely.
It's very simple, something called yu wang.
