The next day at noon, when the sun was high in the sky.
Xu Lecai walked out of the hotel, his steps were unsteady, and he felt like he had too much of that and was about to die.
Ai Li followed him out, his face was cold and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Xu Le and Ai Li waited at the door for a while. Not long after, Gu Beichen and Wang Shu also came out of the hotel.
Gu Beichen's condition was similar to Xu Le's. He felt dizzy and as if he had been sucked dry.
Wang Shu, on the other hand, was in very good condition, and the spirit of a warrior was always so full.
The four of them looked at each other and then talked for a while.
Watching from a distance, Gu Beichen poked Xu Le in the kidney. Of course, Xu Le poked back.
It felt like two gay friends were having a joke, and any man could tell what kind of joke they were playing on each other.
This process lasted for a while, but not for long.
Soon, the four of them got into the same car and drove westward.
All these scenes in the distance are captured through a telescope.
Putting away the telescope, the tall and thin driver Xiong Zemo, also known as Puppet No. 2, slowly walked towards the stairs to the rooftop.
He has already confirmed the direction of Xu Le and the others, and now all he has to do is track them.
Xu Le and his friends will probably stay around the lighthouse for a long time in the future, and this period of time is his chance.
Xiong Zemo also knew that Xu Le also wanted to kill him.
But the sad thing is that Xu Le has no way to find him at the lighthouse by his own strength.
Never possible!
…
"Okay, can you feel the presence of the voyeur?"
After getting in the car, Xu Le restrained his previous expression and looked at the two warriors, Wang Shu and Ai Li.
In terms of combat perception and danger perception, the two of them are more powerful.
Wang Shu heard Xu Le's question and shook his head slightly.
However, Ai Li nodded and said with certainty:
"On our left, on the roof of the second tallest building, there is a scent, but it's not strong."
"Such a long distance... No wonder."
Ai Li was able to confirm that Xiong Zemo had tracked them, which was a good thing, because Xu Le had originally planned to let Xiong Zemo track them.
What surprised him was that Xiong Zemo's pursuer actually had human aura.
It is undoubtedly a human puppet.
"Are we going downtown now?"
"Of course, go to the dark alleys in downtown, which are nightlife areas similar to Zion's red-light district, and lawless places, which are perfect for launching attacks on us.
This is an opportunity I created specifically for him.”
Xu Le said, looking at Gu Beichen:
"Gu Beichen, do you have any powerful forbidden formations? Any destructive or disturbing ones are fine. I'm not good at this. You studied abroad in the Red Moon Temple, so you should have some knowledge of this."
Gu Beichen had a sullen face, and unlike Xu Le's disguise, he was indeed feeling very weak when he woke up this morning.
Because the girl last night was so amazing.
The feeling of the lighthouse is just different, the quality of the upper city area of the lighthouse has an aristocratic feel.
Well, returning to the lighthouse is like returning home.
Wait, it seems like the lighthouse was originally his home.
"Ah? What did you just say?"
"You fucking..."
"No, I was thinking about an important spell, so I was distracted. Can you please say it again?"
Gu Beichen had a serious expression, and Xu Le couldn't tell for a moment whether he was lying or not.
"I said, do you have any destructive or disturbing formations?"
“This… I think I actually have it.”
During the next period of time in the car, the four of them were basically discussing the possible appearance of Xiong Zemo's puppet assassin.
In the vision of Rewi Alley and Wang Shu.
Puppet Bear No. 1 Zemo should not appear because his identity is the district chief.
The identity of district chief is very important. It represents power, resources, and connections.
Such an identity cannot be abandoned at will.
So even if an assassin was sent, they thought it should be Puppet No. 2, the driver, who would be the leader.
Xu Le did not comment on this judgment, because it is indeed possible.
But he still had some doubts in his mind.
What is the significance of what Xiong Zemo said before
…
With doubts in their hearts, the group crossed the bridge, headed to the downtown area, and came to the dark alley in Area C.
Just like the last time, Xu Le stuffed a gold bar into the iron gate of the black alley.
It’s still 20 grams, and this price is enough to get them in.
"Gold? That's interesting. Come in."
The red painted door of the black alley was opened. Wang Shu took the lead and walked down, while Ai Li stood at the end.
Even in such a busy downtown area, they still maintained the formation with warriors outside and sorcerers inside.
This has become an unintentional habit.
"Nightclub?" Ai Li looked at the flickering lights and frowned slightly.
"The nightclub is just a guide area, which contains a larger environment, trading area, snow collection area, and some entertainment facilities."
Xu Le gave a brief explanation, but Rewi Alley just curled his lips:
"You seem to be very familiar with this place."
"Ah, before I met you, I was actually a lost lamb, Gouzi, you know what I mean." Xu Le suddenly said affectionately.
Ai Li's face turned slightly red, but it was completely invisible under such lighting.
She didn't say anything, just turned her head slightly.
Gu Beichen, who was standing in front of Xu Le, couldn't help but say:
"Damn, you're so oily, even oilier than me!"
"roll."
After a bit of noise, Xu Le continued to walk forward. The welcoming bunny girl was still as charming as ever, and she greeted him enthusiastically at first.
But after making eye contact with Ai Li, the bunny girl froze subconsciously.
"Uh, let's go."
Walking quickly through the nightclub area, Xu Le arrived at the trading area he had visited before.
According to Gu Beichen, this should be the most important place in the entire black alley, and the ladies here are also the most beautiful.
In other words, if you want to find Zhou Tianming, this is undoubtedly the best choice.
As soon as we entered the trading area, a service maid came over enthusiastically.
"Do you need anything?"
"Yes, yes." Xu Le looked the other person up and down.
It was standard professional attire, with almost no exposed area on the body, but the neckline of the blazer was a bit deep, and the skirt was also a bit short.
A very attractive professional suit, the designer must be a knowledgeable guy.
"Sir, you can tell me anything you want. I will serve you well within my ability."
"Ah, I need to find Zhou Tianming. He should be here with you. I haven't contacted him for a long time, and I have lost his contact information."
Xu Le is not lying.
It has been a year since he fled to Zion, and he can't remember many things about the lighthouse, or at least his memory is vague.
He did have Zhou Tianming's contact information, but he had lost it when he ran away.
Now that he came over, he could only ask forcefully.
"Zhou Tianming? You..."
The waitress was a little confused at first, but her eyes immediately turned unfriendly.
Faced with such a combination, I suddenly had to find the boss.
Their first reaction was naturally that someone was coming to cause trouble.
Seeing the waitress take out her communicator, Ai Li instantly flashed in front of her.
Before the waitress could see clearly what Ai Li was doing, the communicator in her hand had been taken away.
"Don't shout. We don't want to cause too much trouble. We have no ill intentions, and this is certainly not some low-level gang feud.
We are from a special department and want to find Zhou Tianming to understand the situation and make some arrangements. These are official tasks, I hope you understand. "
Ai Li spoke in a very professional way. When she was in Zion, she had done this kind of thing countless times in order to help Zhang Nuoan capture the succubus.
In fact, she is more familiar with nightclubs than Xu Le.
She was familiar with what the women here worried about and were afraid of.
"You guys, are you really not here to cause trouble?"
"No, we won't hurt you either. Take me to see your foreman, don't worry."
"Well then..."
With the coercion of Rewi Alley and the "enthusiastic help" of the waitress, Xu Le and his group quickly found the foreman here.
Sister Sha.
"Sister Sha, these people..."
"Okay, you go out first."
Sister Sha waved to the waitress, leaving only Xu Le and herself in the room.
This situation made Xu Le a little curious. This Sister Sha should be just an ordinary person.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Um, Mr. Xu Le, we have met once before." Sister Sha said in a low voice.
Xu Le was a person Zhou Tianming had once given special instructions to.
Unlike those ordinary ladies, those who reach Sister Sha’s position all have a delicate heart.
She must make sure to remember everything her boss tells her to do.
After the last time, she repeatedly looked at Xu Le's photos, engraved Xu Le's appearance in her mind, and reminded herself not to forget it.
Although a year had passed, when she saw Xu Le, she was still able to recognize him at a glance.
"Do you know me?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu Le, you are here to see the boss, right? Please wait a moment, I will contact you right away."
"Well, thank you very much."
The unexpected smooth progress made Xu Le feel very comfortable.
Sister Sha quickly dialed the communicator and contacted the boss, Zhou Tianming, who was deeper in the alley.
In fact, Zhou Tianming is not the boss here at all.
He is just the housekeeper here, managing the place on behalf of the real boss of Upper Town.
But so what, except for himself and a few people in high positions.
No one knows who the real boss is.
After waiting for a few minutes, Xu Le finally saw the person he wanted to see.
"Mr. Xu Le, Mr. Xu Le, it's been a long time."
"Mr. Zhou looks very healthy. It seems that your troubles have been completely resolved."
"It's solved. Of course it's solved."
Zhou Tianming's complexion was rosy at this time, and he no longer looked sick as before. Although he was still very old, overall he was in much better spirits than the last time Xu Le saw him.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhou, Zhou Tianming, my friend at the lighthouse. He's a very nice guy. And you, Ding Ke, he once bought you canned food. Do you remember?"
Meow! ~ Ding Ke turned his head and shoved himself into Xu Le's arms.
Apart from Xu Le, she didn't bother to pay attention to anyone else here.
"Don't say that. Cat food is just a small token of my appreciation. When Mr. Xu Le returns, I will send you another carload."
Xu Le just likes Zhou Tianming's sensible face.
Although he is no longer short of money, Zhou Tianming's work is very pleasant and his words are very understanding of people's hearts.
So Xu Le didn't want to be too restrained in front of Zhou Tianming. After all, he still needed to find someone to do things.
"I came here today because I want to ask Mr. Zhou for help with something."
"Mr. Xu Le, please tell me what you want first."
He neither agreed nor refused, but just made some tentative inquiries.
Although Zhou Tianming looks very kind and feels as friendly as the old grandfather next door.
But after all, he is still the boss here, the real boss of the alley.
When the person at the top is not present, Zhou Tianming does all the dirty work.
According to the last divination and Zhou Tianming's current condition, he might even kill his son and mistress.
Such a character...
"Actually, this matter is simple to say, but it is also quite troublesome to do."
"Oh, if someone can make Mr. Xu Le feel troubled, then he must be really troublesome."
"Yeah, someone wants to kill me, so I want to use your environment to do something to prevent him from killing me."
After Xu Le clearly stated this information, Zhou Tianming raised his head slightly.
"I see. We often encounter such things as revenge killings in the underworld. I wonder who Mr. Xu Le's enemy is?"
"A person whose identity cannot be revealed, and someone you have absolutely no way of dealing with."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Hearing Xu Le say this, Zhou Tianming also started laughing.
"Mr. Xu Le, as expected... experts have their own circle of experts, and your martial arts feuds may be more advanced than our sword-fighting.
Since Mr. Xu Le has asked, it would be inappropriate for me to not agree, but I still took the liberty to ask.
If a battle breaks out, will it cause damage here?"
"Of course, but we will pay for the damage done here."
Zhou Tianming smiled:
"Mr. Xu Le, you are joking. This is a black alley. Although I believe in Mr. Xu Le's ability, the funds flowing in the black alley are definitely not something that an individual can afford.
Even a very powerful extraordinary person can’t do this, so I think…”
Xu Le waved his hand and interrupted Zhou Tianming directly.
"Don't worry, I'm not alone."
"Haha, Mr. Xu Le is still wrong. This is not a problem of just a few people..."
"I suggest you watch the news and learn about the congressman's talks, and you will naturally have the answer."
Zhou Tianming was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xu Le for a while, and then took a newspaper from his subordinate.
Warmly welcome Zion Councillor Xu Le to visit Lighthouse!
BREAKING: These could be the lowest energy prices ever.
…
After seeing the information in the newspaper, Zhou Tianming was stunned.
Xu Le is a Red Moon Warlock and a former Night's Watcher. These are things he knows.
But these things are all within a reasonable range. If Xu Le resigns, Zhou Tianming can understand. After all, capable people can go anywhere.
But how come you suddenly transformed into a member of the Zion Congress
There can be a range, and it is normal to become rich overnight.
But isn’t this span too big
Zion's most valuable scientist...
Can this kind of title be given to an ordinary extraordinary person
And... you already have such an identity, but others still want to kill you. Who are the people who want to kill you
"Mr. Xu Le, the person who wants to kill you, could it be a congressman?"
“You can rest assured about this, I have no grudges with the councillors of Beacon, and our business has just been concluded.
Everyone is waiting to make money, how could they attack me at this time? Wouldn't the relationship between Zion and the Lighthouse be completely broken? "
"If it weren't for the MP..."
"There are always some people who don't want to see the construction of the lighthouse and the Zion Bridge. You should be aware of this, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Tianming hesitated for a moment, as if he was struggling with Xu Le's value.
Although the risks of this matter are very high, the benefits of helping Xu Le are also huge.
Energy provider.
In the Dark Ages, nothing that has anything to do with light is cheap.
Energy can almost be said to be the source of light.
"I helped with this matter."
"Hahahaha, very good. Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhou first."
"Mr. Xu Le, if you have any instructions next, just tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you."
Seeing Zhou Tianming extending his hand to him, Xu Le also extended his fingers.
“First, we have to start with the venue…”
…
