"Wood, you are not a common embezzler, are you? You actually brought me out to eat such good food. Are you sure you have money to pay the bill later?"
Ma Yin took a bite of high-end snacks with a look of satisfaction on her face, but soon she felt confused again.
There is no so-called salary for the killers who attack at night. After all, the Revolutionary Army themselves are extremely poor. Usually, even food is obtained by hunting with red eyes.
When accepting employment from civilians in the imperial capital, the fees charged are nominal to maintain the organization's daily necessary expenses.
And the only big income usually comes from ransacking the homes of rich businessmen and their families like before.
However, these confiscated assets are usually brought back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters by Najiexitan to equip the Revolutionary Army with more sophisticated equipment.
Referring to the fact that Wood and Leonai used to cheat Tazmi out of her money to drink, it can be seen that the members of Night Raid are basically so-called poor people.
But now Wood has the ability to take Ma Yin to eat such high-end snacks. The only thing Ma Yin can think of is that Wood was embezzled during the house search.
"What are you thinking about? I am a super VIP in this store, so I don't have to pay for food at all!
If you beep again, I won’t bring you here next time. If it’s Chitong, she should also like the snacks here.”
Hearing what Wood said, Ma Yin suddenly raised her face with an unhappy look, then protected the cake in front of her and said, "Chitong likes to eat meat, not these desserts."
"Mr. Wood, I haven't seen you for a while. This beautiful lady is the daughter of that nobleman."
While Wood was chatting with Ma Yin, a middle-aged man in a suit slowly walked up to the two of them and took the initiative to chat.
When she saw a stranger approaching, Ma Yin instinctively showed a look of caution, and her behavior became more ladylike.
"Arthur, you don't need to waste your efforts. This pink-cut and black lolita is my friend. She is not a noble lady, but a poor guy like me."
This time we came here to eat and drink for free, so you don’t have to expect me to pay you back.”
Hearing what Wood said, Ma Yin first looked angry, and then couldn't help feeling uneasy. She really didn't expect that Wood would dare to take her into such a high-end snack shop without money, and do so in front of others.
In person, he said he wouldn't pay the bill.
What surprised Ma Yin even more was that after hearing what Wood said, the middle-aged man who looked like an old gentleman not only did not get angry, but instead looked at Ma Yin with a smile and nodded: "That's really rude.
, I didn’t expect Mr. Wood to have such a beautiful and touching friend.
I am the owner of this pastry shop. I would like to ask if this lady’s pastries are to your liking. Do you want to try some other pastries?”
Hearing what the old gentleman said, Ma Yin was even more surprised. Wood had already stated that they were going to have a meal, but the other party was not angry, but instead became more enthusiastic and polite to her?
Seemingly seeing the confused expression on Ma Yin's face, the old gentleman also took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Wood is the benefactor of our family.
My wife and daughter were both saved by Mr. Wood, and the reason why this store can run so well is because Mr. Wood often brings customers here to patronize.
Those customers are all extraordinary, and because of Mr. Wood, they have become regular customers here, so our business is so prosperous.
"It's just that I really didn't expect that a person as bohemian and unrestrained as Mr. Wood...such a dashing person could actually have a real friend, and she is such a beautiful lady."
Arthur was talking as if a conversation had been opened, but just before he exposed some of Wood's dark history, he was suddenly interrupted by Wood.
Wood turned his head and looked at Ma Yin again, and found that this girl was blown away by the other person's words of "beautiful lady". She obviously didn't hear what Arthur just said, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Arthur, you guy, come here!"
Old Arthur was still quite curious about Ma Yin. After all, this was the first time that Wood had brought a real friend to his store.
In the past, he and his wife wanted to marry their daughter to Wood more than once, but they were rejected.
Looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him at this moment, Arthur was curious about what was so special about her that she could win Wood's favor.
Old Arthur, who had not yet achieved his goal, was already pulled aside by Wood, in order to prevent his majestic image from collapsing in the "Night Raid".
"What the hell are you doing, let me explain to you first, Ma Yin is just an ordinary friend of mine, not the kind of relationship you imagined.
And your daughter Xivier is obviously so beautiful, why are you focusing on me? You clearly know who I am, and there is no benefit in getting involved with me."
In order to prevent old Arthur from regarding Ma Yin as his daughter's imaginary love rival, Wood could only take the initiative to explain.
"Mr. Wood, I have no choice. Please understand the difficulties of a father. Ever since Xivier was rescued by you, now I miss you every day. My wife and I are also very troubled..."
"Stop, stop, stop, let's stop this matter for now. I will find an opportunity to help you unlock Sivir. The main purpose of coming here this time is to gather information."
The strongest general in the empire, Esdeath, has returned to the imperial capital, right? Do you know what she has done recently?"
Seeing the old Arthur looking like he was about to pour out his bitterness to him, Wood quickly reached out to interrupt him, and told him the purpose of his visit this time.
If Leonai's source of intelligence comes from the mixed lower class groups, then Wood's source of intelligence comes from the aristocratic group of the upper class.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A mixed bag of gangsters and gangsters wander around every corner of the city, so naturally you can hear some gossip.
And those nobles who are mixed in the upper class naturally know more during their daily banquets and exchanges.
There are many ladies and noble girls who usually come and go in Old Arthur's pastry shop. As soon as the cakes are eaten and the black tea is poured, women's talent for gossip naturally comes out. And Old Arthur, who is waiting on the side, can sometimes listen.
Learn a lot of things that others don’t know.
When leaving the pastry shop, Ma Yin also packed several high-end pastries, saying that she would take them back to the base for others to try.
She has never experienced such a happy time. She can eat all the delicious pastries without spending a penny and can even take them away.
Just like that, they walked out of the door without spending a penny, taking food and food. The boss even delivered it to the door in person, saying that they were welcome to come next time.
"Wood, I heard Arthur say before, do you often bring customers to this store? Do you have many friends? And they are all rich?"
After eating and drinking, Ma Yin threw all the packaged pastries into Wood's hands, and then skipped ahead.
However, while walking suddenly, Ma Yin suddenly thought of what old Arthur said before, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
When he heard Ma Yin's question, Wood was instantly stuck. Did he have many friends? Obviously he didn't. Counting his night raid companions, there were less than ten in total.
As for the guests that Old Arthur mentioned, most of them are actually noble girls and ladies from the imperial capital.
Lubbock knew that Wood was an expert at flirting with girls. He not only had good looks, but also had a perfect aristocratic etiquette and flirting skills. Ordinary women were no match for him.
Usually when flirting with girls, Wood would take her to Old Arthur's shop to spend money.
Because they are all aristocratic girls, they are not short of money, so they are quite heroic every time they make a move. Naturally, old Arthur makes a lot of money from this. In addition, because his craftsmanship is really good, he will soon have a lot of money.
Good reputation.
“Old Arthur, despite his serious appearance, he’s actually just a talkative guy.
He comes into contact with a lot of noble ladies and rich ladies every day, so you can't be fooled into being confused by a few compliments from him."
"But he doesn't look like that kind of person..." Ma Yin has also been a killer for a while, and firmly believes that she still has a good eye for seeing people.
"The information Old Arthur just gave is not enough. Next we are going to other stores. One sells clothes and the other sells jewelry. Do you want to go with us?"
Seeing that Ma Yin still wanted to ask questions, Wood quickly said such words again and blocked Ma Yin's mouth.
"Clothes! And jewelry..., ahem, we are partners. Since we are going to collect intelligence, we naturally have to act together."
Facts have proved that no woman can resist desserts, beautiful clothes and jewelry, even the tsundere.
After visiting the famous jewelry stores and clothing stores in the imperial capital, Wood was already packed with a lot of things, and Ma Yin, who looked satisfied, had obviously forgotten all the previous problems.
.
Needless to say, these accessories and beautiful clothes are free of charge. As for the reason, it is similar to the pastry shop of old Arthur.
Because Wood often brings a lot of traffic to these stores, in order to please Wood, these stores not only provided Wood with a lot of information, but also saw that Wood brought serious friends to the door for the first time, so they naturally showed all kinds of attentiveness.
Ma Yin has never experienced a life like today. She doesn't have to spend a penny, but she can enjoy supreme VIP treatment everywhere.澖
In the evening, Wood and Tazmi met in front of a better hotel, but when they saw Wood who was as tired as a dead dog, carrying large and small bags in his hands, and the bags were piled up to cover his head, Tazmi
Zimi and Leonai were also stunned.
"Are you sure you went to get information and didn't go on a date behind our backs?"
Hearing what Leonai said, Ma Yin's face suddenly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then she furtively glanced at Wood beside her and retorted: "We are all working very seriously today.
Okay, if you don’t believe me, just ask Wood.”
Hearing what Ma Yin said, Wood wanted to complain. In addition to tasting delicious food, Ma Yin was constantly changing and trying on clothes, and selecting various accessories. He really couldn't tell that Ma Yin was working seriously.
He was the only one who worked tirelessly to find out the information. Ma Yin, who looked satisfied when he was done, would throw the large and small bags he had packed directly at Wood, letting him act as the bag carrier...
"Really? Then tell me, what useful information have you obtained?
Let's compete to see who has collected more useful information today."
Ma Yin's harsh words obviously aroused Leonet's dissatisfaction and competitiveness.
Faced with Leonai's questioning, Ma Yin suddenly felt a sense of loss. She admitted that she was a little selfless because she was having so much fun today, and even forgot about her work.
"Wood, please tell Leonai and the others how much intelligence we have collected today."
The girl threw a big pot and Wood was a little caught off guard. However, considering that Hill was injured a few days ago, Ma Yin had been in a depressed state. It only improved after today's shopping. Wood also showed a face.
He smiled bitterly and said: "We are indeed working today, and we have also obtained some useful information..."
Next, Wood and the others booked a room in the imperial capital and sorted out the information they had collected.
And Leonai and Tazmi were also shocked to find that Wood and Mayin really went to collect intelligence today, because compared to the intelligence they collected, the intelligence obtained by Wood and the others was obviously more comprehensive and consistent.
specific.
There is even information that Esdeath proposed to the young emperor that she "wanted to get married" as a reward.
This kind of information is obviously not something that can be obtained by gangsters in the market, at least if there is someone in the palace.
Seeing Leonai and Tazmi with shocked expressions, Ma Yin suddenly became frightened again. At this moment, she was looking at the two of them with her arms folded and proudly said: "Humph, don't think that we are all enjoying today.
We are also working hard.”
Looking at the arrogant girl who was calm but had an arrogant attitude, Tazmi put on an apologetic expression.
But only Leonai, who is more familiar with Ma Yin, knows that if it is really what Ma Yin said, the other party will not look so unreasonable from the beginning.
Obviously, almost all of this information was collected by Wood alone, and Ma Yin probably went along to enjoy it.
Of course, as a companion of an organization, Leonai would not say much. After all, people like Ma Yin and Tazmi were like younger brothers and sisters in Leonai's eyes.
Ma Yin was able to get out of the predicament of Hill's injury, and she was also quite happy.
"Although we understand some information about this organization called 'The Hunters', it is only one-sided. It would be great if we could know their specific strength and even information about their Teigu."
Through the combination of the intelligence collected by Wood and Leonai, they knew quite a bit about the list of members of the "Hunters", but the intelligence and strength of many of them were unknown.
