“There are a lot of people pouring into our bar, owner.”
On the edge of the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, in the midnight bar in the heterospheric reserve.
Succubus Mandy, who has been promoted to the third store of Midnight Bar in Sulphur Harbor, is reporting on the current situation to his boss.
This little succubus has not changed much compared to a few years ago.
The figure is still very popular, and the dressing style is still unique.
But compared to the temperament that was always frivolous in the past, she has become much more steady now.
After all, when you become a store manager, you must have the style that your leader should have.
"I don't know who spread the news that we can help them take refuge."
"Now the hall is full of ordinary people rushing in to take refuge, and there are still queues outside."
Mandy's tail was shaking around, and she looked at the midnight dad who was sitting in the chair in front of her, without saying a word.
She said:
"I heard that other heterogeneous reserves are the same, full of humans running in and taking refuge. Do you want to drive them out? Boss."
"Turn out? No...it's too reckless."
Wearing a fur coat and a luxurious ring on his ten fingers, the outside world shook his head for the midnight dad of the East Coast's most vicious voodoo warlock.
The black voodoo warlock was playing with the chess in his hand, and he was thinking.
In recent years, he has served as the Chief Executive of the alien reserve area, and through cooperation with the government, he has made a lot of money.
Because he and Merlin are quite friendly and private relationships, after SHIELD took over Sulphur Port, midnight's business also extended to that alien city.
On the current East Coast, he has become the midnight dad of a big boss and is one of the most profound outliers in s.d.o.l.d.
But now, this cunning voodoo warlock smelled a trace of uneasiness and opportunity from the chaotic status quo.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the chess pieces in his hand. After a few seconds, he said to Mandy who was waiting for the order:
"What's the reaction from the Supreme Family?"
"The vampires are opening the door to welcome the frightened humans."
Mandy held her arms and told all the news she had found:
"Ms. Nisha, the Supreme Grand Princess, also opened the passage from the ground to the Sulphur Port, allowing those humans to enter Sulphur Port to take refuge."
"But they are not allowed to bring weapons, and anyone who wants to make trouble will be kicked out of the reserve without mercy."
"The relationship between Mr. Nisha and Merlin is very unusual."
Daddy put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and he said with a deep meaning:
"I heard that she was almost sent to Merlin's bed by her father, the eldest son of Makinos, to be his lover..."
"It's just rumor, boss."
Mandy curled her lips, and the succubus said enthusiastically:
"Although they were so concise, they said that Nisha successfully took over the Supreme Family by being a mistress for Merlin, but in fact, we all know Merlin's style."
"He wouldn't do such a thing, and he wouldn't have any physiological relationship with an alien."
"Yes, I know."
The voodoo warlock stood up, and he walked to the window of his office and looked out.
Sure enough, as Mandy said, the alien reserve area that few people pay attention to on weekdays is now full of humans rushing over to take refuge.
The clown's threat frightened the city, but the lunatic obviously didn't know enough about the city.
It is not just humans who live in this city.
"It's because I know Merlin that I wonder if the actions of the Supreme Family were instructed by Merlin..."
"Although he has been wanted, and even though he has been removed from all official titles, at least on the surface, he is no longer a high-ranking person."
"but..."
Daddy rubbed his chin at midnight, and the voodoo warlock sighed, and he said with some excitement:
"Anything related to him is so troublesome! It's hard to make a decision."
"Let them in!"
Midnight Daddy said to Mandy:
"But if you want to take refuge from us at Sulfur Port, you need tickets. You can't help but do good deeds without seeking rewards. After all, I'm a businessman."
"One person charges $1,000!"
The voodoo warlock waved to his subordinates and said:
"If you can't pay the money, let them get out and let them fend for themselves!"
"boss!"
Mandy's expression changed a little, and she lowered her voice and said:
"You may be angry if you do this..."
"Does Merlin angry?"
Daddy midnight snorted, and a playful smile appeared on his face.
He didn't say anything else, but when Mandy saw the boss' expression, the clever succubus knew what midnight was going to be about.
He is testing Merlin's bottom line!
No, no, it's not accurate enough to say this.
It should be said that midnight is testing the troublesome Merlin's control over the status quo.
Now there are rumors in the alien circles in New York, and some people swear that Merlin is dead.
Some people also said that they saw Merlin vomiting blood by several superhumans and locked up again.
Some people also say that all of this is actually directed and acted by Merlin, just to attract those restless aliens and then take the opportunity to catch them all in one go.
Well, the last statement is the most marketable.
After all, the scene of the mothership clearing out the city crime in the sky, and all the aliens have seen it.
Those who survived were also scolding the raven for being shameless and cruel, but they were also grateful that they suppressed their inner restlessness and did not join the so-called "revenge carnival".
This is indeed a trap set by Merlin.
Ah, darkness is above, damn raven!
Why didn't he die?
With him on one day, the aliens on the East Coast will never stand out!
But among these rumors flying all over the sky, big bosses like Midnight Dad still maintain their rationality.
They did not act rashly, and as the group of aliens with the deepest cooperation with the official, they knew about the suspension of s.d.o.l.d.
This proves that something happened to Merlin and his dog-legged men, and the spaceship in the air was not arranged by Merlin.
But the most important question is whether Merlin still has the ability to turn the tide again...
If he has, then continuing to stay dormant is the best choice.
But if Merlin has lost power and can never make a comeback, or even escape the end of death, then...
Maybe they should think carefully about the alien world in North America that will inevitably rebound after losing Merlin's suppression...
In the post-Merlin era, how should they get along with themselves.
"Go and do things!"
Daddy waved his finger and signaled that Mandy could go and issue orders.
But he did not receive a reply.
The voodoo warlock turned around in surprise and saw Mandy standing there.
A hint of fear appeared on the little succubus's beautiful face.
Around her snow-white neck, a cold sacred silver sleeve sword was being set up there.
With just a light stroke, Mandy will die tragically on the spot.
Three guys with extremely restrained auras and wearing strange white robes were standing behind Mandy in silence.
Under the extremely low hood, my brother Midnight could feel a slight gaze of scrutiny.
"Bang"
Victoria, the high-level assassin who pressed his sleeve sword against Mandy's neck nodded.
Behind her, a companion waved his hand and smashed something at Midnight's father's feet.
That's a head...
One of them was wiped clean of blood, but there was still a terrified head on his face.
A head belonging to the devil.
Midnight's father narrowed his eyes, he knew this guy.
This guy is named Barsazo, and he is the executive of the alien reserve in Harlem. Just like him, he is also a foreign leader who has a deep cooperation with s.d.o.l.d.
"Mr. Barsazo took advantage of the chaos to make money. He asked the humans who entered the Harlem Reservation to sign a soul contract with it in order to restrain their souls..."
"This is a bad behavior that violates the rules set by Lord Raven..."
Victoria said to the midnight dad in front of her in a hoarse and cold voice:
"After the order of the Raven, we have given Mr. Barsazo the punishment he deserves!"
"Midnight, you just said that you should charge tickets for ordinary people who enter the reserved area under your management? 1,000 US dollars to buy a life, right?"
Midnight's face was calm, questioned by Victoria.
But looking at the head under his feet, his fist that was placed behind him clenched tightly at this moment.
Obviously...
This is the response.
Response from Raven.
A cowardly anger rose in his heart at midnight, but it was quickly suppressed by this cunning voodoo warlock.
He took a deep breath and a slightly flattering smile appeared on his face.
He waved his hand and said to the three assassins in front of him:
"How could it be?"
"I just saw that the atmosphere was too tense, so I just made a joke with Mandy."
Daddy said calmly at midnight:
"Where is me, I am a law-abiding businessman. How could I make such a heartless decision..."
"Mandy, why don't you open the passage and send the scared poor people to Sulphur Port."
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to give them a glass of water and a piece of bread each and tell them it's safe. Let them thank the raven for their kindness."
Midnight whispers:
"Rare protects them again..."
"Oh, oh, I'll go now!"
Mandy stretched out two fingers and pushed the cold sacred silver sleeve sword outward.
She touched her neck and quickly left the boss's office.
The little succubus was also shocked.
She secretly glanced at the three assassins who appeared silently, and she couldn't help but think of it.
"It seems that Merlin is still in control of the situation..."
"But this is the first time these white-clothed assassins have seen. After the s.d.o.l.d. stop, does he still have his subordinates? Damn, how many people did that guy drive?"
"Well, fortunately I've always been obedient... This fire can't burn on my head."
Mandy shook her tail and she whistled proudly.
Since Merlin is still alive, it proves that her peaceful life will not be broken.
With her personal relationship with Merlin, she can continue to enjoy life freely without worrying about her sudden unemployment, and then go through the bad life of being displaced when she was a child.
Ah, peace, awesome.
But in the office, the atmosphere is still stagnant.
Take Barçazzo's head from the ground and put it on the table at midnight.
He stroked the chess in his hand, and he looked at the three assassins.
He whispered:
"Is Merlin okay? I heard that he is in trouble. Does he need help? As a good friend in private, if he needs help, I will definitely not refuse."
"Yeah?"
Victoria put away her sword and under her hood, her green snake eyes stared at midnight.
After a moment, she said:
"But Raven doesn't need your help, do your own thing, Mr. Midnight."
"Remember..."
The senior assassin said in a low voice:
"Raw, everywhere!"
After saying that, Victoria turned around and pushed open the office door, and left.
The two assassins around her took a step back and disappeared like magic.
In the office where only one person was left, with a gloomy face at midnight, he looked at the devil's head on the table.
He whispered:
"Barsazo, Barsazo, my dear friend, tell me, is Merlin really confident or full of confidence in disguise?"
"boom"
A faint blast sounded over the sky, just like an answer.
He raised his head at midnight, and in his eyes blessed by Voodoo, he saw a ball of fire lit up above the clouds.
What seemed to be wrong with the insight that suppressed the city's mothership.
“…”
Midnight's fists clenched.
After a while, he shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and threw the chess piece emitting faint light in his hand into the trash can.
He looked at the head of the devil in front of him, and there were still terrifying eyes left. He swept his head to the ground in annoyance, and he said:
"Okay, okay."
"It seems that he is really in control of the situation, so wait a little longer."
——————————
"Have you cheated?"
Outside the alien reserve, Victoria sat in a car, and Layla, who was driving, looked at the crowded and noisy midnight bar in front of her, and she asked softly:
"The voodoo warlock didn't feel suspicious, right?"
"It shouldn't be."
Victoria raised her head and looked at the flames storming in the clouds above her head, she said:
"This explosion is also at the right time. This should stabilize these unwilling guys, but don't expect to deceive them for too long..."
"Once the Raven Master's battle is unfavorable, or...failure, then these guys will definitely jump out as soon as possible."
"They don't know that s.d.o.l.d. has been transferred to Raccoon City, nor do they know that SHIELD is in big trouble..."
"But sooner or later they will know that the wizards of the Magic France Society were transferred to Raccoon City to set up barriers. Once the aliens are out of control, it will be difficult for us to suppress them alone."
"Then kill them!"
Layla said to her companions while starting the car:
"The last command given to us by the master is to stabilize the alien leaders on the East Coast no matter what, and not let them break the rules and return to the barbarity..."
"This is our final trial, and we are going to complete it to prove that the Brotherhood no longer needs help and continues to perform its ancient duties."
"We want to prove that we will not disappoint those who have expectations of us!"
"This does not conflict with the mission of the Assassin Brotherhood. No one wants to see the turmoil in the alien world... We want to solve this crisis in the way of assassin!"
"From now on selecting the successors of these restless alien leaders, after everything is ready..."
A fierce light flashed in Layla's eyes and she stepped on the accelerator.
Amid the engine's roar, she said coldly:
"Kill them all before they start to cause trouble!"
Chapter completed!
