Chapter 1585 Testing

The dark carriage stopped at No. 17 Lanton Street.

Dresden, who was waiting in the room, looked at this carriage in surprise, which made him feel extraordinary whenever he saw it. When he saw Kieran stepping out of the carriage, he smiled with relief.

He has always been glad that he and Kieran have become friends.

In the beginning, that was it.

Even more so after what happened yesterday.

Moreover, his friend is not only powerful, he also seems to have some extremely unique charm, constantly attracting people with special talents.

Just like the driver and carriage that disappeared from the same place.

And Catwoman.

When he thought of Catwoman wanting to get close to Kieran from time to time, Dresden couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

You know, Catwoman is famous for her pride in the League of Legends. Even he has a hard time targeting her opponents.

Of course, he doesn't like so-called assignments either.

In the eyes of Dresden, everyone is the same, they are all equal, there is no so-called assignment, there is only mutual cooperation.

And this is also the purpose of his appearance at No. 17 Lanton Street at this moment.

After all, cooperation also requires payment.

"Morning, 2567."

Dresden said with a smile.

"morning."

Kieran nodded and sat on the sofa chair in the main seat, looking at the brown paper bag placed on the coffee table and the box under the coffee table.

"These are the title deeds to two shops in the heart of Smallville."

"Although they are of little use now, in just half a year, the prosperity there will surely surprise everyone."

"Please don't take no for an answer, you deserve it."

"In fact, compared to what you did 2567, these two stores are really nothing. I should have given more, but the reconstruction of the Smallville neighborhood requires too much money, so I can only give These, and the rest, I will compensate you in other ways."

Dresden said apologetically and sincerely, and then took the box under the coffee table to the coffee table.

This box is not big, a standard 24-inch suitcase, but when it comes into contact with the coffee table, the sound coming from it is very heavy.

Dresden didn't show off and opened the suitcase.

Inside are three boxes made of solid wood, one large and two small. The big one is at the bottom and the small one is at the top. They are all locked with locks.

"I heard that 2567 you were looking for secret books and unique books from the papal period, so I sent someone to collect them."

"Here's the key."

"Don't worry, they are not all, I will try to collect more."

Dresden said.

Kieran didn't refuse.

Compared with the two shops, he valued these three antique books more. After taking the keys from Dresden's hand, Kieran started to inspect them.

And seeing that Kieran accepted the reward without hesitation, Dresden couldn't help but laugh.

He admired people like Qin Ran who didn't hide his thoughts.

It's not like some people who clearly want something serious but pretend to be polite and go around.

After about a few minutes, Kieran finished checking the three books.

no problem.

The paper has a sense of age, but the content on it is somewhat different from the current text. However, this does not hinder Qin Ran.

After he put the brown paper bag containing the land deed and the three boxes into his suitcase, he handed it to Emma Eddie.

Emma Eddie pushed the box into the study. When Emma Eddie's figure disappeared behind the study door, Kieran spoke.

"Have you investigated clearly what happened yesterday?"

Qin Ran asked.

Qin Ran didn't hide anything about yesterday's events.

Kieran informed Dresden of the city of Plimpton, the torturers, the ‘dark gold’, and the so-called devil.

Because, Kieran knew very well that these things could not be concealed.

As long as Dresden starts investigating, the other party will soon know this.

Rather than causing a gap when the time comes, it would be better to make it clear directly.

"I sent all my men, but..."

"no idea!"

"I am certain that the super criminals who attacked Aikender City are just other people's pawns, but I am not sure who the hidden chess players are."

Dresden said with a solemn expression.

After hearing this news from Qin Ran, the 'Fist of Justice' was really shocked. For the city of Plimpton, this 'Fist of Justice' had a fear that ordinary people did not have, not to mention that he should have The torturer disappeared into history.

As for the 'dark gold' and the so-called devil, they are becoming more and more troublesome for the 'Fist of Justice'.

He always felt as if he was being thrown back to the papal period 600 years ago.

Because only in that era were these words prevalent.

"As soon as possible."

"We don't have much time."

"And Aikande City has become the target of public criticism."

Kieran was not surprised.

Although the League of Legends is extremely powerful and has excellent intelligence, it is not possible to obtain all the information overnight.

This takes time.

But coincidentally, what they lack most now is time.

Undoubtedly, Dresden knew the meaning of Qin Ran's words. After a slight pause, he said: "I have contacted 'Juji' to incorporate his security company into the defense force. Moreover, 'Juji' is familiar with training security personnel." Based on the existing personnel, a considerable number of people can join the defense queue in just one week."

"Also, I have proposed to the mayor to rearrange the defense of Aikender City."

"Police stations, fire stations, etc. will all be integrated into our defense system."

"The mayor has also agreed."

Speaking of this good news, Dresden couldn't help laughing.

The subsequent chat became more relaxed, and after about fifteen minutes, Dresden got up and left.

As the leader of the League of Legends, Dresden is very busy at this time. Not only the superheroes need him to contact them, but also the armed forces belonging to ordinary people need him to unite.

Thinking about the attitude of the middle-aged police chief, Qin Ran knew that this was not a simple matter.

Because that is the attitude of most ordinary people in power.

Deer, hunted for their antlers.

How can superheroes be an exception?

Their unique abilities have long required them to endure jealousy, rejection, and even all kinds of dark thoughts when they are different.

Therefore, many times, heroes also become criminals.

Not inherently bad.

only……

Forced.

Dresden has encountered these things, but he still sticks to the bottom line. He also hopes that other superheroes can do the same, so he cannot let himself stop.

He must move on.

He must try his best.

The door is closed.

The car Dresden was riding in disappeared in the rain. Kieran took the hot tea handed over by Emma Eddie, took a sip, and looked at Galan.

"Sir, everything is normal."

"There are no watchers around you."

"There's no one following."

Galan stepped out of the shadows.

"Yeah?"

Kieran, who was holding the teacup, gently placed the teacup on the coffee table.

The other party's reaction speed was a little slower than he expected.

No!

It should be that the other party chose another way.

A more hidden and safer way.

It just so happened that he was now extremely vulnerable to being targeted in this way.

Qin Ran was not worried about this.

On the contrary, he wished the other party would do this.

However, out of habitual caution, Kieran thought that he needed to add a layer of insurance.

Snapped!

Kieran snapped his fingers.

"Boss, at your service."

The superior evil spirit appeared next to Qin Ran in response. No further instructions from Kieran were needed. The superior evil spirit already knew what Qin Ran wanted to do.

"I'll do my best."

The superior evil spirit said that and disappeared from the spot.

…

Fries seemed to be unaware of the chill brought by the heavy rain.

He held an umbrella with a long black handle and pushed open the door of the cafe.

In the welcome voice, he refused the hot towel handed by the waiter and walked to the corner.

As the well-known 'Freezer' in Aikende City, this kind of cold air seemed to Frith like a child playing house, completely unsatisfactory.

If it weren't for taking care of those who would trade with him, Fries would simply choose a more empty place instead of the warm cafe in front of him.

Although the lights of the cafe in front of me are soft, the music is moving, and the coffee is mellow enough, compared with the safety of the open space, the former is completely disposable.

Comfort makes it easy for people to relax their vigilance.

And vigilance is a matter of life.

There is nothing wrong with giving up comfort to gain vigilance for this purpose.

At least, that's how it seems to Frith.

The premise is that there is no order from Kieran.

Friss, who had obtained Qin Ran's "obtain more secret books and unique books from the papal period", was now completely at this starting point.

He would still remain vigilant, but he would prioritize completing Kieran's orders.

So he began to consider the feelings of those with whom he was dealing.

At least, according to Frith, the current environment has the effect of improving the success rate of transactions.

In fact, this is also true——

"Hello, Your Excellency."

"Did you post the information?"

A middle-aged man looked around after entering the cafe. When he saw Frith, he immediately came over. He was wiping the place, feeling the warmth of the hot towel, and couldn't help but smile at Frith.

"It's great to have a service like this in this weather."

"I have a unique copy from the papal period."

"It's a little incomplete, but it can still guarantee about 70% of the content."

"Do I need to inspect the goods?"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a book wrapped in oilcloth from his arms.

Frith took the oilcloth parcel without saying a word.

The middle-aged man did not refuse.

The reason why he dared to go to the appointment alone and speak frankly was not only because he was confident in himself, but also because the person in front of him had a pretty good reputation.

Never break a deal, never deceive others.

Of course, that's assuming you didn't break the deal.

otherwise……

There are not just one or two missing persons in Aikande City.

"Um."

After careful inspection, Frith took out his checkbook and wrote a six-digit number—the price he gave when he announced the news.

It will fluctuate somewhat depending on the completeness and rarity of the books, but not much.

The middle-aged man took the check and looked at the numbers on it with a satisfied smile.

"By the way, I also have news about similar books, which I will give to you for free."

"A group of guys discovered an ancient tomb in the suburbs not long ago. It should be the tomb of a great nobleman. There are many precious things in it, and books are also essential."

"Do you need their contact information?"

"Of course, this is not free."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"How many?"

Frith asked simply.

"10000."

After the middle-aged man quoted a price, he waited for Frith to counter-offer.

However, to the other party's surprise, Frith had no intention of bargaining and directly signed another check and handed it to the other party.

After obtaining the gold from ‘Mr. Evil Spirit’, Frith never engaged in so-called bargaining again.

In his opinion, this kind of thing is a waste of time.

Snapped!

The middle-aged man flicked the check gently and carefully packed it away. He immediately picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down a phone number.

"What a pleasant deal."

"Hopefully we'll see you next time."

The middle-aged man walked out as he spoke.

However, the moment the other party opened the door of the cafe.

boom!

There was a gunshot.

The middle-aged man's head exploded like this.

The headless corpse staggered to the ground under the impact of the bullets.

"Ahhh!"

"Killed!"

People in the cafe started to rush towards the back door after screaming.

The shooter did not stop.

The other party allowed these people to leave and walked towards Fries with the gun in hand.

Snapped.

The pistol was thrown on the table by the other party. The other party pulled out a chair and sat in, his legs naturally resting on the table.

"I heard that you are looking for secret books and unique books from the papal period?"

The other party asked in a flirtatious voice.

However, it was precisely because of such a frivolous voice that the cold air surrounding Fries' fingertips dissipated.

"You have?"

Frith asked.

"certainly!"

"We previously discovered the tomb of a big nobleman in the suburbs. We wanted to sell the contents, but a guy passing by kept spreading our news, making it difficult for us."

"so……"

"We chose to kill him."

"This is a warning!"

"Warning to those who are targeting us, be careful and don't mess with us!"

The other party said murderously.

But in Frith's eyes, he was fierce and arrogant, but what did it have to do with him?

He was just here to fulfill Kieran's orders.

As for the rest?

Frith was indifferent.

"Where's the stuff?"

Frith asked directly.

"In a secluded place."

"Do you dare to come with me?"

Seemingly because he didn't see the fear on Frith's face, the other party was a little unwilling and immediately asked provocatively.

"lead the way."

Frith said as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"I hope you'll be this calm for a while."

The other party looked at Frith's back and did not hide his voice at all.

The two left the cafe one after another.

No one paid attention to the middle-aged man who fell to the ground.

The dead are the safest.

But the next moment the two left, the bodies on the ground began to move.

The broken head and the brains flying around seemed to have memories, and they began to squirm towards the fallen torso.

After just ten seconds, the middle-aged man returned to his original state.

The resurrected opponent patted the dust on his body from falling to the ground, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Took the bait."

The other party whispered to himself, and then snorted contemptuously.

"Kill me with one bullet?"

"Innocent!"

"I am immortal."

The other party said that he was about to leave, but as soon as he raised his legs, the other party heard a sudden sound behind him.

"oh?"

"immortal?"

"What a coincidence!"
