"Is this it?" Ellie stopped the car in front of an office building and asked.
Worm nodded, pointed to the office building not far away with his chin and said: "They are on the top floor, where you can just see the George Wharf."
As he spoke, he moved his gaze to a thrift store on the street, "That's also their outpost."
Then, Worm moved the rearview mirror until a fast food restaurant appeared on the mirror and said, "That one, too."
The corner of Ellie's mouth curled up slightly, "It seems that you are well prepared. This parking point is just right for seeing their three sentinel points. If it weren't for the rope hanging around your neck, I would have suspected that you were someone sent from the opposite side.
Already."
Worm subconsciously touched his neck, but there was nothing on it. He whispered: "I know how to get in from the back door of that office building. But, but you are too..."
Seeing his sibilant expression, Ellie said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"You are too dazzling. I think you will attract unnecessary attention as soon as you get out of the car. So, my opinion is, do you have any magic that can change your appearance. At least, you know, not so dazzling.
Bright."
Ellie let out a long sigh, took out her wand and cast a simple transformation spell on herself. Her clothes and hair changed to varying degrees. Her original light blond hair turned into brown curly hair, and her formal clothes also changed.
It became baggy jeans and an oversized T-shirt.
Then she cast a spell on her sunglasses, and the sunglasses turned into a pair of old-fashioned full-frame glasses. After putting on the glasses, the eldest lady looked at herself in the rearview mirror and felt that she was not very satisfied.
So she messed up her hair with both hands, and took out cosmetics from her pocket to put on heavy makeup. With red lips, thick foundation, and seemingly cheap eyeshadow, she looked like the capable and elegant woman before.
He disappeared and was replaced by a street girl.
Finally, Ellie took out a piece of chewing gum and stuffed it into her mouth, and then asked Worm: "How is it? Is it okay?"
She even changed her pronunciation of RP and adopted a rural accent from Liverpool to match her identity.
"I...I don't know what to say." Seeing a beauty transformed into this, Worm couldn't believe it, but thinking of what happened before, he felt relieved.
"There should be an evaluation, right?"
"Very good, I mean," Worm said with a smile on his face, "What you need to worry about now is that some blind bastard will come and ask for the price."
This joke did not amuse Ellie. She glanced at Worm again with a cold look, which frightened the latter and quickly added: "Of course, I will definitely keep those bastards out, they will not get close to you at all."
.”
"Ah, that's great. It seems I have a knight today instead of a criminal. It's really gratifying. I hope you will keep your word, Mr. Knight."
After saying this, Ellie opened the car door and walked out. She chewed the gum in her mouth hard, leaned against the car door, and looked at the pedestrians coming and going with provocative eyes.
Worm looked at the men who were drinking at the used merchandise store. After they got off the car, those men turned their attention here.
"If anyone comes over later, leave it all to me." He whispered to the eldest lady, and then he wanted to light one out of habit, but when he reached for his pocket, he realized that his cigarette had been confiscated by the police.
Three men stood up and walked towards them. A gentleman sitting outside the fast food restaurant put down his newspaper and walked towards them.
The gentleman stood in front of Worm, blew out the smoke from his mouth and said, "Mr. Knight, what are you doing here?"
Worm patted his pocket and replied: "Come and buy a pack of cigarettes, Simon."
"Really?" The man named Simon took out the cigarette case and handed it over, "Smoke mine. I'm afraid you won't be able to buy cigarettes before I finish asking."
"Damn it, Simon. When did we become so ignorant?" Worm turned his head and looked behind him as he spoke.
Two of the three men stood in front of Ellie, looking at the street girl carefully with their narrow eyes.
"Hey, don't fucking stare at my woman. Otherwise I'll dig out your eyeballs!" Worm warned fiercely.
"Be polite, gentlemen." Simon gestured to the two men, "Seeing outsiders? You can't say that, Nate. The news about you entering the bureau has spread, we must be careful."
"Bad news always travels fast." Worm smiled dryly, "But haven't I come out now? My woman bailed me out."
After saying that, he glanced at Ellie again, and then whispered to Simon: "This girl is very hot, right? She loves me so much that I can't help but...ah, cough cough cough..."
The suffocating feeling from his neck made Worm cough violently. He choked on his own saliva and dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground.
Simon stood aside, frowning, fearing that he might catch something wrong.
After coughing for a while, Worm finally regained his breath. Ellie turned around and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Worm waved his hands hurriedly. He took a deep breath again, then straightened up and cast an apologetic look at Simon.
Simon took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Worm along with the lighter.
"Those policemen, damn them, they are so cruel." Worm said, pointing to his abdomen.
A man next to him spat on the ground and muttered: "May they all go to hell and receive a thousand blows."
"It seems that they have treated you badly." Simon's eyes were suspicious, "But you didn't explain anything?"
Worm understood the meaning of his words and cursed: "Fuck you, Simon. Stop talking to me in such a shady manner. If I have explained everything, how can I come here so arrogantly?"
Before the other party could speak, Worm immediately said in a deep voice: "Damn it, you don't think I'm cooperating with the police, do you?"
"I can't rule out this possibility." Simon said, a flash of alertness flashed in his eyes, "You just came out of the police station and went straight here. This is really suspicious."
"I said, come buy a pack of cigarettes. Of course, come buy some other things too."
"I'm afraid we have nothing to give you in the short term, Mr. Knight."
"All the goods have been taken away by those gangs, but I still need to eat, do you understand what I mean? Simon, I still have some downlines waiting for me to give them goods, but I can't get anything out now."
"Weren't you always dealing with gangs in the East End?"
"Damn, did you hear what I said? All the goods in the East District have been withheld. Now I have to find another source of goods to appease those customers. Those guys in the East District won't care about a failure, but those stores will. I'm a middle man
Business, do you understand what a middleman means?
"This means I have to please both parties. I received a deposit from the store. If I get all the money back, how the hell am I going to survive in this business?"
Simon was not moved by this. He inadvertently took a step back and said, "I'd say, man, you should take a break."
"Take a break? What nonsense are you talking about..."
"You are in the limelight right now, my friend, and no one will make a deal with you. Take your girl, go to the country, or to the seaside, fix yourself up, and come back when the time comes."
"For God's sake, Simon, they're going to kill me if they don't get it. Besides, those idiot police are going to freeze my assets in no time, and I won't be able to use my car, my house, anything. What am I going to do on vacation?"
"
Worm glanced at Ellie again, and continued in a low voice: "Do you think beautiful women are easy to make a living on? They are all paid for with fucking money. You have no idea how much it would cost to take her for skin care.
, almost worth my two boxes of bolivars.
"Those damn beauty shops make more money than robbing a bank. You should really talk to the person in charge and let her try it too. It's much faster than you smuggling money. Think about it, beauty shops, remember
It’s a fucking beauty store chain.”
"Okay, okay, Nate. What do you want?"
"Anything, as long as it makes money."
Simon thought for a while, threw the cigarette in his mouth aside, and then said: "I will give you a few names, you go find them. Wine, cigarettes, cigars, guns... you have everything you want."
"Hey hey hey, don't try to trick me with some small fry. You know I only do big orders, and my customers who are waiting for food have a big appetite."
"Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Knight." Simon smiled, "You are being watched by the police now. I don't want all the goods to be in your hands."
"Fuck you, Simon. I've never found you so annoying before."
"That's because before, we only talked about women, wine and poker."
"Hmph, that's right." Worm nodded, "Let me talk to Mr. Doll, he will definitely agree."
"I think..."
Before Simon finished speaking, Worm took a few steps forward and came to his side, and the man standing on the side immediately leaned over.
"Think about it carefully, Simon. What have you taken from me all these years..." Worm lowered his voice and turned to glare at the man who was trying to come forward.
Simon waved his hand to his men, indicating that it was okay.
"How much benefit have you taken from me over the years, eh? The clothes on your perky wife, and your two sons studying in prestigious schools. Damn it, if it weren't for me, Simon, relying on your little bad money every month
, can you afford it?
"If I die, how will you support your family, huh? Can you find another person like me? I don't think you can find someone, at least not as generous as me, who can let you live such a comfortable life.
"
The corner of Simon's mouth twitched, and everyone could see that he was furious. The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Simon lowered his head and asked: "What do you want?"
"I told you, I want to see Mr. Doll. I know he is here, in the office building opposite, right? My request is very simple. I need you to be accommodating so that I can go up and see you.
head."
"No, no, no, don't reject me just yet. Think about it carefully, you are just taking me up to meet him. If this thing comes to pass, you can still continue to get the benefits. If this thing doesn't come to pass, it will not affect you.
You are too much.
"This is your chassis. I don't have any weapons with me. Are you still worried that I will do something outrageous?"
Simon lowered his head and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Wait here, I'll go ask for instructions." After that, he greeted a subordinate next to him and walked to the office building together.
When they walked away, Ellie asked aloud: "So, what is the situation now?"
Worm looked at the two men who were left watching them and said, "Don't worry, honey. They will take us to meet the important person. I will convince him to give us the goods we need."
Ellie chewed gum, turned around and rolled her eyes at the two men guarding her, "Is it necessary to be so nervous?"
"Ignore them, honey. Come on, let's go get something to drink."
After Worm finished speaking, he left the car and walked towards the restaurant. Ellie followed closely behind him. The two men saw them going to the restaurant, but they didn't continue to follow them.
"Is this what you call going through the back door? Find a man?"
"Why do some words always taste bad when you say them?" Worm looked helpless, "It will succeed. If it doesn't succeed, don't we still have a lot of friends?"
Ellie asked the front desk for a caramel milkshake, and then found a seat to sit down. "In addition to the customers, this restaurant should be owned by them, right?"
"Hmm. Try to be more casual. I need to get them to let down their guard."
"Let me guess, when we go in later, we will face a bunch of people. So what are you going to ask me to do? Cast a magic to knock them all down?"
"Keep your voice down, ma'am." Worm reminded, "If you can do that, it will save a lot of trouble. If not, I will make a proposal to them and ask them to take me to see the goods. Then our friends will continue to follow
Come on. Anyway, there are trackers placed on the soles of my shoes.”
Ellie frowned and whispered: "I want to remind you, sir. We are not here to investigate ordinary smuggling."
"I know, I know. But everything needs to be done step by step. Even if we go directly to George Wharf, we can't find anything. You need evidence to make an arrest, and I'm creating opportunities for you.
"Mr. Doll. This guy is responsible for all the smuggling activities of the Old Record Gang. As long as you can catch him. Even if you catch some of his important men, you can ask a lot of things. Waiting and waiting to eliminate a smuggling operation will not affect
Old record gang. You know what I mean?
"To put it simply, even if we catch them smuggling people, the real big fish will not come to the scene in person. They will sit in the office, drink champagne, look at the sea outside the window, and make plans on the map. But they won't
Implement it yourself.
"Of course, cracking down on a smuggling operation will make the top brass of the Old Record Gang furious, but at most it will only break a few glasses or break a few pieces of furniture. The end result is that they will intensify their losses from those poor people.
Earn it back."
"You want to lose the big fish."
"That's right. My ultimate goal is not Mr. Doll or any other Mr. I want to make the entire old record gang disappear."
"But you don't have good enough fishing gear."
"If it was before, I really didn't have one." Worm showed a smile, "But now, I do."
"Don't be too optimistic, sir." The eldest lady understood that Worm was interested in her ability and wanted to destroy the entire Old Record Gang in one fell swoop, but what he didn't know was that the Old Record Gang was not a simple fish.
"Maybe we are the fish." Ellie murmured as she looked at Simon who was walking towards this direction.
