Perhaps moved by Punirollo's gentleness, or perhaps a natural affection for her beautiful sister, Tesra gradually stopped crying and looked at the two in front of her with some curiosity.

"Don't you remember me? A few years ago you and your grandfather went to Fort Saint-Aph, the capital of the province of Gonser, and I pinched your little face. Punirolo was half-crouched on the ground, gently brushing Tesla's tousled short hair.

Tesra tilted his head, as if recalling the scene Punirolo had just described, and after a while, he timidly asked, "Are you Mistress Punirolo?"

Punirolo smiled and nodded. The big sister of the gang is still quite gentle with children, Israde thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, after Tesra got Puniroro's affirmative answer, she immediately hugged Puniroro's neck and cried: "Woo woo Puniro, grandpa he, grandpa he's dead!"

"What?" Punirolo's face changed, and Israel could feel the powerful murderous aura that burst out of her body in an instant, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Tesla, who was just a child, didn't feel as strongly as Israde, at most he would only feel cold around him, but he was not in the mood to care about it anymore, and still hugged Puniroro and cried.

Punirolo picked up Tesla, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a suppressed voice, "What happened to Taka, can you talk to me about it?"

Tesra nodded, sobbing as he began his story.

It turned out that one night a few months ago, Taka had come to the council chamber of the Midnight Branch on a routine basis to gather his men to inquire about the recent situation in Boomer City. Because Tesra kept clamoring to follow, Taka had to take him to the council chamber with him, and fearing that Tesra would affect the progress of the meeting, let him go to the back room to play by himself.

But unusually, Taka waited for an hour without any of his men showing up in the council chamber, and just as Taka was getting impatient to call Tesra home with him, the door to the chamber was pushed open.

Walking in was a middle-aged man with a gray face and sunken eyes, followed by a man in a black cloak who couldn't see his face clearly. Taka frowned and said complainingly, "Anthony, why are you the only one here? Also, who is the person behind you? You know you can't just bring people into the council chamber of the organization, right?"

Ignoring Taka's accusations, Anthony walked over to Taka's side, pulled out a chair and sat down, while the man next to him sat on the other side of Taka. Taka smelled a faint fishy stench on the man's body, and moved his body in disgust, at which point Anthony spoke, "Lord Taka, it was I who told the rest of the gang that you canceled the meeting today and let them not use it. ”

Taka slapped the table angrily: "Nonsense, what right do you have to tamper with my orders at will?"

Anthony didn't care about Taka's anger, but said to himself: "I have something important to tell you, this friend I brought needs something, we want to ask for your help, you are the highest status person in Boomer City, so we came directly to ask you." ”

"I won't help you with any request, Anthony, and you're going to be punished for what you did today. Taka was still furious, and Tesla, who was in the room, walked softly to the door of the room, quietly observing what was happening outside.

"Please catch one for us every day, this friend of mine needs to drink blood, drink a lot of blood, the more he drinks, the stronger he becomes, when he is strong enough we will go to Fort Saint-Aeu, we will go to kill Michael, Punirollo is gone, just kill Michael, midnight, midnight will be ours!" Anthony became more and more agitated the more he spoke, and even rushed forward and grabbed Taka by the collar.

Taka looked at Anthony, who seemed to be a little deranged, in horror, and said, "You, you're going to betray the Order? What are you talking about? Don't you want to live?"

Still immersed in his fantasies, and babbling about his crazy plans, Taka turned his head to look to the side, only to find that the hat of the stranger's cloak had been lifted by the wind blowing in from the window, revealing the face of a rat with fine black hair.

Tarka bounced out of his chair in fright, and turned around to escape with Tesra in the room, but as soon as he turned around, the monster grabbed him by the neck from behind and lifted him into the air.

"Old Taka, are you listening to what I just said?" Anthony walked in front of Tarka and leaned his face closer to Tarka as his features twisted, "Will you grant my request? ”

Taka wanted to pretend to say yes, and then take Tesra out of here first. But when he was about to nod, the monster behind him spoke, and his voice was sharp and piercing like a blade cutting the ground: "Anthony, he won't promise you, I smell loyalty in this man's blood, I like it very much, can I eat him first?"

Anthony spread his hands in frustration and said, "In that case, there is no way, he is yours, Dracula." ”

What happened next was something that Tesla, who was hiding behind the door and peeking in, never wanted to remember again, and he saw his grandfather's skin quickly shrink and turn purple, and his throat made a "gurgling" sound, and his eyes gradually drifted. In the final moments, Taka looks at the room where Tesra is hiding, and Tesla's frightened face is imprinted in his eyes, which he can no longer see, and he mouths the last words of his life - "Run".

Trembling, Tesra ran away from behind the door, jumped through the open window onto a large tree outside, slid down the tree, and fled the place without looking back.

After saying this, Tesra cried even more fiercely, and said slurredly: "I couldn't save grandpa, I just ran away, I'm a coward." ”

Punirolo patted Tesra on the back and coaxed, "You're not a coward, your survival is Old Taka's last wish, and it's really brave for you to escape those two demons in that situation." ”

Perhaps it had been crying for too long, and it wasn't long before Tesra fell asleep from exhaustion in Puniro's arms, and Punirolo made a silent gesture to Israde and carried him back to the Baiths' tavern.

By this time, the others had already woken up, and were eating the breakfast that Israel had bought earlier, and several rats in the cage in the corner had died. Everyone was stunned when they saw Puni Luo Luo coming in with the child in his arms, this warm picture really didn't match the murderous aura on Puni Luoluo's face at this time.

Punirolo gently placed the sleeping Tesra in his arms on the mattress he had slept on the night before, covered him with the quilt, and then returned to the table and sat down, telling everyone what had happened to Taka.

"There's a good chance the monster who helped Anthony kill Taka is a demon!" said Sylavia.

"Boomer's spate of disappearances may also have something to do with these two men. Xuan continued to analyze.

Israel thought for a moment and said, "But why is the black tax raised? I don't think it's like Anthony and that monster Dracula would have done." ”

"Indeed, if Anthony really wants to find prey for Dracula, it would be good to just let his men kidnap a few civilians, and raising black taxes would be superfluous. Simmons nodded.

"Moreover, there is a clear rule inside Midnight that it is absolutely not allowed to shoot at civilians, and I think that a large part of the gang may not cooperate with Anthony. "He was looking for Old Taka because Old Taka was the most powerful person in Boomer, so who will be the most powerful person in the city when Old Taka dies?"

"I guess it's the turn of the official body. Earl said.

"That's the lord of Boomer, the Knight Rupert. Punirolo narrowed her eyes, and those who knew her well would know that this was her most dangerous move.
