Chapter 58 Announcement! ~Ask for a monthly ticket~)
Angcheng, a hotel.
In the luxurious suite, Lawrence, who had changed his appearance again and had stolen someone else's identity, was shaking a red wine glass.
The carefree Lawrence didn't notice the slightest bit of nervousness.
Even if this is Edemon, the home of the ‘Night Owl Court’.
For Edmond, he wants to kill quickly. After all, this is the meaning of the third game.
As for the ‘Night Owl Court’?
He has some other ideas.
So, he started the first round of testing.
He issued a reward in the underground world.
He believed that no matter what the result was, those hyenas and vultures would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.
After waiting silently for about ten minutes again, Lawrence picked up a small handbag.
This handbag is made of sterling silver. It is only the size of an ordinary person's thumb and has no bell. However, there are some words engraved on the inside, but they are blurred and cannot be seen clearly.
Lawrence shook the wrist that held the bell.
Jingle bell bell!
The bell without a hammer was rang directly.
Immediately, a short but well-dressed butler appeared.
"gentlemen."
The butler bowed respectfully, and the entire etiquette process was extremely standard, just like a textbook.
"How's the situation?"
Lawrence put away the bell and asked while holding the wine glass.
"Everyone has been cleared."
“Including the ‘Shadow Stream’ assassin.”
The butler reported.
"'Night Owl Court'?"
"It is indeed stronger than imagined."
Lawrence sighed, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, a look of excitement mixed with the slightest expectation.
"Sorry, sir, please let me correct you. It was not the 'Night Owl Court' that took action, but the 'Hydra'."
The butler reminded Lawrence.
"Same."
"It's just a superior-subordinate relationship."
"Ten years ago, some very interesting things happened in the 'Night Owl Court', which made them completely invisible, and then 'Hydra' had to appear."
Lawrence said with a smile.
Then, without waiting for the butler to speak again, Lawrence asked again.
"Can you destroy the Night Owl Court?"
"I'm very sorry, sir, I'm afraid I can't do it."
The butler thought carefully for a moment before answering.
"Can you destroy Hydra?"
Lawrence continued to ask.
"Again, I'm sorry, sir, I still can't do it."
The housekeeper apologized again.
Lawrence didn't have any anger about this.
On the contrary, he took it for granted.
Moreover, the last trace of doubt in my heart was gone.
‘Hydra’!
‘Night Owl Court’!
It's true!
In fact, when he saw some secret information about the 'Temple' in exchange, he had already determined all this.
It was just that he was not reconciled to the failure in the second game with Edmund, so he tried back and forth unwillingly.
And now?
He gave up completely.
He needs to move on...
Um?!
Lawrence looked out the window alertly.
He lives in a luxurious suite in the hotel, which naturally has a terrace. The glass door of the terrace is closed at the moment, but there is a person standing on the railing of the terrace.
Wearing a black cloak and a slightly abstract midnight mask on his face.
Lawrence was stunned.
Then he laughed.
"As expected of the 'Night Owl Court' in charge of the entire Ang City. Although my use of underground channels is secretive, was it still discovered by you because of the special target?"
Lawrence said with amazement.
With the hat as a cover, there is no flaw in the expression on this fake face.
But it's also not certain that this is true.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, Lawrence at this moment is a wealthy old man.
And his real age is not even half.
Facing the sudden 'claw', Lawrence did not stand up from the chair, but still held the wine glass.
It's not that he is arrogant and powerless, but that he is frightened by the intention to kill.
He could sense that the 'claw' in front of him carried extremely terrifying killing intent.
Almost like reality!
This is the killing intent that can be possessed by someone who has killed thousands of people.
In Angcheng, there are no more than three people who can possess such murderous intent, and the most likely among them is...
"Your Excellency Siba."
"It's an honor to meet you."
“I wonder which Lord ‘Claw’ it is?”
Lawrence asked.
"'Claw' no.9."
Xiba, the president of the Angcheng Killer Guild, said in a calm voice.
He wasn't surprised in any way.
When his subordinates reported what happened in the afternoon, information about Lawrence had already appeared on his desk through special channels.
‘Zero Burial Fox’!
This is the other party's name.
The fox represents cunning.
Zero represents the other party's zero failure.
Burial means that being an enemy is just a funeral procession.
In any record, the opponent is an opponent that cannot be underestimated.
So, after announcing his name, Siba walked down from the terrace, opened the door and walked towards the other party.
It wasn't very fast, but phantoms appeared in Lawrence's eyes one after another.
This is a technique of a certain assassin school. Lawrence has seen it more than once, but this is the first time for him to be as skilled as Siba.
pity……
It's not like he was unprepared.
The short, well-dressed butler just stood in front of Xiba.
"I'm sorry, I can't sit back and watch what you do to Mr.
With these words, knives and forks flew towards Xiba.
The phantoms disappeared in the shooting of knives and forks.
However, Siba still appeared when Lawrence became stronger and stabbed Lawrence with a dagger.
Whoosh!
The sharp sound that broke through the air obviously left no room for error.
Lawrence kept smiling and raised his hand to block the dagger.
His hands were not empty, but he was wearing gloves, a black glove with a simple style.
The rapid dagger suddenly stopped.
It just stopped in front of the gloves.
Xiba's narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he pulled back.
The butler wielding the knife rushed forward again.
Bang bang bang!
Seeing his butler temporarily blocking Siba, Lawrence smiled and clapped his hands. In the applause, he said: "As expected of Sir Claw, I thought you would be fooled."
"Thank you for your visit, I will leave temporarily now."
"It's far from time for us to officially meet."
"The time...has not yet come."
Lawrence said as he walked along the corner of the hall and walked straight to the terrace.
He was going to leave directly from here instead of taking the elevator.
However, the moment he stood on the terrace——
Woo!
With a scalp-numbing sound, a car rushed towards the terrace.
No!
Not rushing!
Instead, it seemed as if it was thrown up by a catapult, thrown up, and hit from below.
Boom!
The terrace was directly smashed.
But Lawrence was not evacuated to the room. On the contrary, when he noticed that the car was coming, he rushed directly to the side of the terrace, where was the terrace of the next room.
Lawrence, who had gone through quite rigorous training, grabbed the balcony railing and stood up.
Then, he saw another ‘Claw’ on the ground.
"Can you throw a car to a height of ten stories like a trebuchet... Can Dybala, the president of the Angcheng Bounty Hunters Association?"
"As expected of the 'Night Owl Court'!"
Almost subconsciously, Lawrence guessed the identity of the other party.
It's not difficult.
When he came to Angcheng, he had already started investigating these.
It was very easy to meet the target in my memory.
Then, Lawrence started jumping again.
Because another car hit me.
After several attempts, Lawrence came to the 'accidental retreat' passage that had been prepared long ago - a drainage pipe.
He grabbed the drain pipe and didn't go down.
But... upward!
The entire hotel only has ten floors.
He chose a luxurious suite so he could get closer to the tenth floor.
The rooftop was his final choice.
However, when he jumped to the top of the building, he was completely stunned.
Another 'Claw' wearing a cloak and a mask stood there.
More importantly, at the opponent's feet were paragliders that had just been dismantled.
“Which Lord ‘Claw’ are you?”
"I am truly lucky to be able to dispatch three 'Claws' sirs."
"but……"
"Can we make a deal?"
Lawrence said.
By this time, he was still calm and composed.
This calmness comes from the necklace he wears.
The necklace itself has no special features other than being strong, and the rabbit's foot pendant is even more rough and even a little dirty, as if it was picked up from the trash after being burned by smoke and fire.
It looks ugly, but it has great effects.
It can bring luck.
Although once lost, there will be extremely serious consequences, but as long as you wear it, you will be fine.
So, he made a sturdy collar.
"trade?"
"ha."
“Is there something ‘abnormal’ about you that sealed the deal?”
Io Kate laughed.
Then, he looked at Lawrence carefully.
Even though he was just looking at it, Lawrence felt his heart tremble.
"Hat, gloves, windbreaker, bells?"
"Hmm...and the necklace."
"There are some weird 'abnormalities' in the pocket."
"You are really fully armed!"
Io Kate smiled.
"Facing the famous 'Night Owl Court', of course I have to be fully prepared."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare come to Angcheng to discuss this deal with you."
"But even so, I can't escape the eyes of the 'Night Owl Court'."
"What an amazing 'Night Owl Court'."
Lawrence was not stingy with his praise.
"trade?"
"I want to hear what the deal is."
Io Kate asked with great interest.
“I want to join the ‘Night Owl Court’!”
Lawrence said simply.
Such an answer did not even occur to Io Kate, the head of the Kate family. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Lawrence with sharper eyes.
It seemed that at this moment, he recognized this former A-class personnel who was wanted by the ‘shelter’ again.
"What can you give?"
After a while, Io Kate asked.
He didn't ask why.
Because, he roughly guessed something.
On the contrary, he was more interested in what Lawrence could do to impress them.
You know, the current ‘Night Owl Court’ is completely useless.
If the conditions were good, he would accept Lawrence's contribution.
Of course, it was only Lawrence who paid for it.
Not Lawrence.
You say cheating?
Sorry, the ‘Night Owl Court’ has always been so cold and ruthless towards its enemies.
"Everything abnormal about me."
"Also, I know the whereabouts of the 'Fountain of Youth'!"
"Of course, if these are not enough, I will give the 'Night Owl Court' a planet!"
"The 'planet' that is completely within Ang City."
Lawrence said seriously.
Then, he quietly stared at the expression of 'Sharp Claw' in front of him.
But unfortunately, the mask blocked most of his expressions.
The only remaining eyes?
Not enough for him to see anything.
Eyes are the windows to the soul, but sunglasses can also be deceiving.
"What a moving bargaining chip."
"It's a pity that the 'Fountain of Youth' is not in Angcheng."
"It's a pity that the planet is still gestating."
Io Kate sighed.
There was a real sigh on his face behind the mask. As the patriarch of the Kate family, Io Kate knew far more than Lawrence imagined.
"You actually know that?"
"The 'Night Owl Court' is not closed."
"No!"
"This is not something that can be explained by occlusion or not. It is a matter of channels. People who can have these channels in Ang City... Are you from the Kate family?"
Lawrence asked.
Then, he continued talking to himself.
"The Kate family is the oldest family in Ang City. If anyone is related to the 'Night Owl Court', it must be the Kate family!"
"However, Mr. Monty Kate's age does not match."
"Then only Io Kate is left."
"You should have used secret techniques to disguise your figure, and now you have restored your original appearance when you reappeared in the 'Night Owl Court'."
"Am I right?"
Lawrence smiled at Io Kate.
Io Kate nodded without objecting.
call!
Lawrence let out a long breath, as if his hanging heart was completely relieved.
"Thank you for admitting it so readily."
"I have also prepared several sets of rhetoric to tell you something."
"It's no longer necessary. It's great."
Lawrence smiled again.
However, this time, it was full of pride.
He looked at Io Kate in front of him, and the 'abnormality' in his pocket made him say a few more words involuntarily -
"In order to prove to the 'Temple' that Ang City is filthy, it must be completely wiped off the map. Do you know how much I paid? Not only did I take the risk to go deep alone, but I also had to get up close and personal with you."
Dealing with Claw really made me feel like I was on the verge of death."
"But I made it!"
"It'll be great if it succeeds!"
"As for what I just said, are you still going to post a reward on the black market and wait for it after that?"
"idiot!"
"Of course it's to lure you out!"
Lawrence's tone couldn't help but become arrogant and arrogant.
He pointed at the horizon, a group of small black dots that appeared in the night, and smiled evilly.
"Watch it!"
"Watching Aung City fall into the sea of fire, watching 'Night Owl' being burned to ashes in the sea of fire!"
With a ferocious smile, Lawrence's eyes widened and turned crazily red.
Io Kate was unusually calm.
The leader of the Kate family nodded almost indifferently.
"Well, I understand."
"We lied to you too."
"It's really difficult to perform with you who is so naive."
The old man nodded and sighed.
The affected Lawrence, in an arrogant state, looked at the patriarch of the Kate family as if he were a fool. Then, under Lawrence's gaze, the old man raised his right hand.
