Chapter 548 The Rise of the Lion King: Introduction

The double doors of the Eagle Tomahawk Bar were suddenly pushed open, and a man walked out from behind the door. He returned to the street, got into his car, started the engine and drove away, but he was not on this stage tonight. The protagonist, he was behind, and as soon as the vehicle left, there was another fiery red convertible, swerving to park on the side of the road, perfectly seizing the parking space.

The flaming red car stopped and the flaming red lights were extinguished. Vito opened the door and stood out. Wearing sunglasses, he looked around at the bustling streets where night had just fallen. He walked straight into the bar.

The sound of the double doors opening was accompanied by the jingling of the bells at the door. However, the proprietress of the Eagle Tomahawk Bar had long been accustomed to the sound of opening the door again and again. It was just dark now, when the bar was gradually getting lively. There were too many Many people were coming and going, and the sound of the door opening had long since become the background sound of the night, along with the hustle and bustle of the surroundings and the clinking of wine glasses.

But when the man walked straight over, the landlady didn't notice anything. Until he leaned to the table, the landlady just asked like she did to everyone, "Would you like anything?"

"Hello, Savella, you look good tonight." "Major Almennon?" The landlady recognized him in surprise. Of course she remembered this, a handsome imperial officer. He had a close relationship with the legendary famous officer a few days ago. The arrival of the legendary political commissar Caifax Kane, who spread far and wide, left a long-lasting impression on everyone present.

And that night, there were not many people still here, and not many people recognized him, so no one in the bar noticed his arrival. Savella at the Eagle Tomahawk Bar remembered him, although he was wearing It wasn't the military uniform from that night, but Savella still remembered his face clearly.

"Hello, dear Savella, I'm glad you still remember me." He said, leaning on the bar, and the landlady nodded, "Of course, sir, how could you forget?"

She turned around and grabbed the beer that was filled into the glass from the flask behind her, and then handed it to a customer who was approaching. He left without paying any attention to Vito.

Savella leaned back and looked around behind Vito, "Are you alone? Political Commissar Caifax Kane, and your guy." "Major Duncan? They are all busy, very busy, so it's just me." Why don't you welcome me when you come tonight? ""No, how could it be? I just didn't expect you to come back so soon. I heard that the Star Empire Army is busy doing something these days."

"Indeed, it's something in the army, so you see, didn't Commissar Kane come?" Vito said with a smile, but his smile seemed even more mysterious and difficult to figure out than that night.

"Then, are you free?" Savella asked as she wiped the wine glass. She put the empty wine glass under the beer machine and reached out to hold the valve switch. Vito behind her was leaning on the bar. , crossed his hands in front of him and smiled, "Not very, I am also working, and my name is Vito, not Almennon."

After Savila was stunned for a moment, she then looked at him and was silent for a moment, then nodded and put the filled beer in front of him. The latter also took a sip, "I asked you, who am I here for?" ?”

"Why do you see me?" He was drinking wine casually, as if he just asked a question casually. Savila looked around vigilantly to make sure no one was eavesdropping or leaning over before speaking. "You used a false name, Mr. Vito. As far as I know, there are only three types of people who use false names: criminals, smugglers, and Imperial intelligence agents."

Vito smiled and put the beer glass on the table. Then he folded his hands on the table and moved closer to the table. "It seems that I don't need to introduce myself, so let's just be formal. I'll find another one." He is operating in the highlands, is a businessman, and may be smuggling weapons, do you have any impressions?"

"There are many businessmen over there, but I have an impression of the person you are talking about. His name is Valkham." "Walkham. Is that his real name?" "I don't know that, Mr. Vito, but He did use this name to buy wine from me, a ten-year-old winter wine and Dorkan spirit. "It's really interesting. I know all these wines. If you add a small amount of catalyst, they can become a powerful wine." Hallucination."

Vito looked at the beer glass and smiled. Savella was a little puzzled. She glanced at the types of wine on the shelf behind her and glanced at him with her peripheral vision, "Sir, is there anything inappropriate about this? Should I reject him? "Refuse? Why refuse? Since Mr. Valkham has paid, you should also sell him out of business ethics. However, I want to talk to Mr. Valkham. Would you mind helping me?" Can you recommend me?" "Of course, Mr. Vito, he just happened to be here tonight to place the order."

"How lucky you are. Then, let's choose a secluded place for our meeting. No one will disturb you, dear?" Vito stood up, straightened the collar of his coat, and smiled at Savella. , the latter also nodded, "Of course, sir, please come this way."

Savella took the former Major Almenon and now Mr. Vito through the inner door next to the bar, walked through the back kitchen and the warehouse where the drinks were stored, and came out from the alley on the side of the bar.

Vito glanced around the secluded alleys. It was indeed quiet and undisturbed. Only the lights on the street at the far end of the box swayed in the distance. "It is indeed a quiet place suitable for meeting. Please come in Bring him here when Mr. Valkham arrives."

"Of course, Mr. Vito, is there anything else you need my help with?" "No, but there is only one dear, are there many businessmen like this here?" Faced with Vito's question with a smile, Savi Ra hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "There are quite a few. The merchants here have been doing business with the Tau for many years, and there are many merchants like Valkham."

"For example, smuggling weapons?" "That's right. If you want to ask why no one called the police, the answer is simple. The people in the Ministry of Justice know how much they have collected as "donations" and the patrol officers will not care about it at all. Even if they report it, , is destined to disappear, and may even cause trouble." "Well, I understand, do you know the names of several similar police officers?" "Of course, Mr. Vito, I can write them down for you if you need them. "That would be great."

Savella nodded to Vito, who also nodded to the door on one side, indicating that she could leave. Savella smiled at him, took out a pack of cigarettes from her arms and placed it on the trash can nearby. , "These are some I saved, maybe they can help you pass the time."

Savila returned to the bar, and Vito leaned against the wall and looked at the pack of cigarettes. He picked it up and smiled, "When was the last time you smoked? Humph, Helen is nagging me again. "

As Vito spoke, he took out a cigarette for himself. He raised his finger and a flash of lightning popped out to light the cigarette. He started smoking, leaning in the shadow of the box, and puffed out wisps of green smoke under the faint light of the cigarette butt.

After a while, a man appeared. He and Savella appeared on the street behind the bar, looking around, "Where are the goods you mentioned? You said they are all here."

Savila did not answer him, but nodded to the cigarette butt in the dark, then turned around and left silently. The man looked at her doubtfully, "Mr. Valkham."

He was startled and turned around to see the cigarette butt flashing in the darkness. Vito walked out of the darkness and threw the finished cigarette on the ground. Mars jumped a few times on the ground, "I have something to ask you." Let’s talk, I hope you won’t refuse.”

"Who are you?" "Ah, I forgot about this link, let's skip it." Vito said, pulled out the laser gun from his waist, pointed it at Valkham's waist and fired. After one shot, he screamed and blood gushed out from his waist, soaking his clothes. Mr. Valkham gasped and leaned against the wall on the side.

"Damn you!" Valkham yelled, tossed his clothes, and pulled out a pistol from his arms, but before he could fire, Vito shot him down.

"The pistol of the Tau? Very good. It seems that Mr. Pierce didn't let me find the wrong person." Vito picked up the pistol and smiled, while Valkham held his stomach, gritted his teeth, and kept talking from behind his teeth. He exhaled painful air, "Who the hell are you?! How do you know Pierce?!"

"My name is not important, and yours is not important, Mr. Pierce. We have more important issues to talk about." Vito said, putting the Tau pistol on his waist, and walked to Valkham He looked at the gunshot wound and nodded, "Your lungs have been punctured and you will die in three minutes. During this period, you cannot go to any medical place or a place that can provide appropriate help. But it just so happens that I have it.”

Vito said, holding a healing blood pump in his hand, which is a powerful healing agent that is usually used by soldiers or people engaged in similar work. It is very effective in treating gunshot wounds and the damage caused by them.

"I can give it to you, maybe not, it depends on whether you are sincere and willing to answer the next questions." "Damn you! What on earth are you going to ask?!" "Very well, let's get started, Who gave you this weapon? And who gave you the reward for assassinating Commissar Kane?”

Valkham fell silent, but soon exhaled in pain due to the tearing feeling in his abdomen. Vito stood in front of him with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, "Tell me, Mr. Valkham, do you have faith?" God?" "What the hell does this matter to you?" "Because you are going to see him soon."

Vito said, and Valkum looked at the healing blood pump in silence. He cursed in a low voice and leaned on the wall, "I got it from the Tau settlement." "You mean, it was the Tau who asked you to Selling weapons to their sympathizers and ordering them to carry out operations to assassinate Commissar Kane? "No, it has nothing to do with the Tau."

Valkham was interrupted by pain as he spoke. He choked and leaned against the trash can on the side. His face was no longer pale. Vito in front of him looked at his face with his head raised slightly, " Shall we continue? Mr. Valkham."

"Who the hell are you? Law Enforcement Officer? I know your Captain Diggins, you're in trouble!" "Sorry, I don't know Captain Diggins, but I'm glad you let me know him, Now, continue?"

Vito weighed the healing blood pump in his hand, and Valkham cursed, "No, it's not a Tau. The person who gave me the things was a human, another trader. I don't know him, and he didn't say anything about himself." He didn’t even ask for my name, but he was very generous, never ambiguous about his delivery, and the quality was also excellent.”

"Very good, yes I know, a human being?" Vito held his chin thoughtfully, Valkham raised his head, his face was pale, he gritted his teeth and screamed despite the severe pain, "It was also he who asked me Those idiots were hired to assassinate Kane. I was only responsible for sending messages to him. That’s all I know! Have you finished asking?”

Vito smiled, "Very good, thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Valkum." He threw the therapeutic blood pump to Valkum, who caught it and quickly hit his abdomen. Valkum took a breath and his face finally calmed down.

Vito walked to his side, pressed his shoulders, and smiled at him, "But if I were you, I wouldn't think about making this money. Have a good night, Mr. Valkum."

"You bastard." Valkum cursed in a low voice, watching Vito walk to the end of the alley. He activated the headset as he walked, "Judge Alice, go find Captain Diggins and ask him to come sit down. Also, Judge Amberley, send someone to follow Mr. Valkum. The fish has taken the bait."
