"How is he doing?" Daniel asked anxiously when Shadow Walker walked out of the operating room.
"It's okay. The internal organs were slightly strained and bleeding due to the displacement, but they were all repaired and not fatal." Shadow Walker (Constantine) replied: "The organs transplanted to him came from a healthy young man.
Human beings are full of vitality inside and are stronger than you think. But——"
Shadow Walker paused.
He was wearing a half-covered mask, but the scowl on his face was still vaguely visible through the mask: "So what have you done? You actually used teleportation on a patient who just had a major surgery? You wanted to kill him?"
Is it? This time he was just lucky - or he trusted you too much - so the teleportation shift was not too serious. You didn't kill him. Next time, would you dare to bet on luck like this? What if?
What should I do if a teleportation fails and he turns into a ball of meat?!"
"There won't be a next time, I promise." Daniel said, "We were...well, attacked tonight, and we did this because we had no other choice."
"Attack?" Shadow Walker actually knew what happened in the old town of Edinburg tonight, but he did not expect that it would involve Daniel and Sabo.
When Daniel said "attack", he thought it was force majeure and half of his anger was gone.
"But you are just staying at home to recuperate, why are you being targeted?"
"I don't know. I used teleportation to get in and out of Sabo's house. Maybe the spell traces left by the teleportation were too conspicuous and were noticed by the attackers. I have no idea why they came to the door. They are not reasonable at all.
When Sabo called for help, I rushed over as quickly as possible and barely escaped from those guys."
Daniel answered tactfully, and most of what he said was true, with a few lies mixed in. Since the matter involved Melissa, Daniel naturally avoided talking about the details.
"Let's just believe it for now." Shadow Walker said. He was now speaking as an "unlicensed black doctor". In order to avoid exposing his identity as a Knight of the Round Table, it was not convenient to interrogate him too deeply.
"So, what are you going to do next? You can't move the patient anymore. Let him stay here for observation for one night. If you want to stay here, you can sleep on the sofa in the underground clinic. But you can't expect it to be too long.
Comfortable."
"No, I will spend the night somewhere else. I will come back to see Sabo tomorrow." Daniel said, "Doctor, you won't tell anyone about what happened tonight, will you?"
"Why should I tell it? Although I am only an unlicensed doctor, I still have the obligation to keep the patient's confidentiality." Shadow Walker replied.
"Thanks in advance, then." Daniel nodded, forced a gold coin into Shadow Walker's hand, and quickly walked out of the Goth Cafe.
On the outskirts of Edinburgh, it was deathly quiet at night. The chaos in the old town seemed like it happened a century ago.
"Captain." The communicator in his ear sounded the voice of a female knight: "The Knights of Great Britain have completely occupied the underground base. Have you rescued the people you wanted to rescue?"
"Ah, they were rescued." Daniel replied: "You weren't troubled by people from the Knights, were you?"
"No, they were very polite to me." Shana said, "They didn't even question me. I didn't tell anyone about you, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Miss Marfa." Daniel said, "It's really a big help to be able to keep this secret."
"Just call me Shana, don't talk to anyone else." Shanalot added: "I just don't think it's necessary to talk about things that have nothing to do with me. Anyway, that's it for tonight. We are destined to see each other (Kama).
."
"Good night, Miss Shana." Daniel cut off the communication.
Can he and Sabo's whereabouts in that underground base be well concealed? There should be no records left, right? Anyway, he has deleted all the data that can be deleted from Baron Morif's terminal. His fingerprints have also been wiped.
It is very clean, leaving no traces. The "traces" left by Saab in the engine room... should not be detected.
He sighed and teleported back to his old home. There, Mason (Melissa) was waiting.
"Everything is settled tonight." He said: "I promised not to kill anyone. However, their boss, Baron Morif, was the leader of drug dealers and was the target I wanted to kill, so I dealt with him. Others
Mine is just a matter of being knocked unconscious."
"Take out the tents and sleeping bags from your luggage. Your house is so dirty, even sleeping on the sofa is dirty." Mason complained.
"It's good enough to have a place for you to hide, but you're so picky." The young Silver Knight boy was slightly displeased.
"So... Brother Sabo can't go back to his home?" Mason asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. Although the group of guys who wanted to find you were wiped out because of the intervention of the Knights of Great Britain, the area is not safe yet." Daniel said, "I will arrange another place for you to stay. Get over here first."
Let’s talk in a few days.”
Mason planned to stay at Sabo's house for a week, but several days have passed. The rest of the time is just a matter of hiding and getting through, and the matter will be over.
He then used the communicator to contact him: "Petrus, are you still there?"
"It seems that your plan is very successful, boss." Petrus replied: "That place is really exploding now. A large group of British knights rushed in to arrest and rescue people."
"Yes." Daniel said without emotion: "I have a proposal, Petrus. But before I make this proposal, I have to ask you a question. You work for Baron Morive and know what he is doing.
Dirty work?"
"Well... my previous direct boss was not Morif. As for who it was, I can't comment. But it doesn't matter anymore. They fired me anyway. I know more or less about the dirty things Morif did.
Some. But I'm just an information dealer. I don't want to ask what the big shots above are doing. Knowing too much will put my life at risk."
"So you allowed them to kidnap people and trade slaves?" Daniel deliberately did not mention the drug trafficking of Morif and his gang, but asked a leading question.
"What? But..."
"There are children and women inside. Didn't you say that your industry has a bottom line and you won't attack children and women?" Daniel continued to induce.
"I have said this before. But I didn't know that they would be so bad as to kidnap children and women... Normally, shouldn't adult male orcs be kidnapped in the Dawn Region... And there is no ban on human trafficking in Great Britain, right?
...Whether the source is legal or not is another matter."
(This guy talks all over the place but doesn’t know anything.)
(Or maybe his acting skills are so good that he can pretend not to know everything so naturally.)
"Forget it." Daniel did not continue the cross-examination: "Let's talk about my proposal. Since you have been fired, do you want to come work for me?"
"I'm working for you, boss."
"Don't talk politely to me. I'm not talking about your job in the Knights of Great Britain, but your [own job]." Daniel snorted: "You just need to continue to be responsible for providing intelligence as usual. But it's changed. A master, you don’t provide information to them, but provide information to me. How much do they pay you every month?"
"...Seven silver coins." Petrus was silent for a moment before replying. He was obviously inflating his own worth and weighing how much he could raise it without going too far.
"I'll pay you two gold coins every month." Daniel said straightforwardly, not wanting to bargain with Petrus.
Petrus fell into silence again for a while. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the price or doubting whether Daniel could afford it.
"Let me explain first, I even have enough money to pay you for the rest of your life directly. But I don't trust you yet, so I'd better choose monthly payment." Daniel added: "I won't treat you badly, but you also Don't try to betray me. If you find out how Baron Morive died tragically, you will know that the same thing can happen to you."
"You are so rich, boss." The black iron knight Petrus said doubtfully: "Is it really so profitable to eat black people and eat black people?"
"What does it mean to be a gangster? Be careful what you say." Daniel said angrily: "I just diverted the ill-gotten wealth they earned into a legitimate way."
"I understand. Just treat it like this." Petrus added: "But in business, please don't expect me to have the same intelligence network I had before. After I break away from them, I can use the intelligence network It will be restricted. You spend two gold coins every month to hire me, and you have to hire me for at least three years. Just don’t tell me that you suffered a loss later."
"It's okay, just do what you can. You can even prepare a formal contract and write down the terms. We will sign the contract under the witness of a notary."
"A word is settled."
"Then," Daniel subconsciously touched his chin, "I'll give you an initial job first. Saab's home is no longer habitable. Help us find a safe place to stay."
"Oh, it turns out this is the picture -" Petrus seemed to suddenly understand something, and said in a long tone: "As for being so open-minded, boss. You have already paid me once, and our cooperative relationship is not over yet. , I had no intention of reporting you - either before or after the incident. I still believe in professional ethics and cannot ruin my reputation."
"That's ridiculous. Anyway, find me a safe hiding spot."
"Okay." Petrus said, "I know several absolutely safe hiding spots. Let's meet in front of the gate in the south of the city, and then I'll take you there."
"Okay. See you later." Daniel cut off the communication. He still couldn't completely believe Petrus. He even thought what Petrus said about professional ethics was ridiculous. But he knew that people like Petrus were obsessed with money. Yes, he will be driven by the power of money. As long as Petrus is given enough employment money, this guy will settle down - at least, within these few days.
After a few days, send away Moses, the god of plague, and life will naturally return to peace.
"I'm going to see if the hiding place provided by my men is reliable. You stay here and don't move around." Daniel ordered Mason. Before Mason could answer, he teleported away. Of course, Daniel could teleport to the city.
Being at the door doesn't mean that Petrus can arrive instantly. He can only wait here.
At the same time, in a certain hospital in Edinburgh.
Petrus walked away from the window and approached a hospital bed. A little girl was sleeping soundly on the bed and was receiving an intravenous drip. Due to the effect of the drug, she slept soundly.
"I will come to visit you again, Sophia." The uncle carefully placed a gold coin under the little girl's pillow and hid it without disturbing the little girl: "Just wait a little longer. You will be saved soon."
