The dark carriage stopped at 17 Langtonding Street.
Dresden, who was waiting in the room, looked at this carriage that was extraordinary just by looking at it. When he saw Kieran walking down from the carriage, he smiled in relief.
He has always been very glad that he and Qin Ran have become friends.
At first, it was like this.
Even more so after what happened yesterday.
Moreover, his friend is not only powerful, but also seems to have a very unique charm, constantly attracting people with special talents.
Just like the coachman and carriage that disappeared in place.
And Catwoman.
Thinking of Catwoman wanting to get close to Qin Ran from time to time, the corners of Dresden's mouth could not help but curl up.
You know, Catwoman is known for being proud in the League of Legends, even he has a hard time assigning her to move her.
Of course, he didn't like the so-called assignment either.
In the eyes of Dresden, everyone is the same, equal, there is no so-called assignment, only mutual cooperation.
And this is also the purpose of his appearance at No. 17 Langtonding Street at this moment.
After all, cooperation also needs to be paid.
"Morning, 2567."
Dresden said with a smile.
"morning."
Qin Ran nodded and sat on the sofa chair at the main seat, looking at the kraft paper bag on the coffee table and the box under the coffee table.
"This is the deed for two shops in the center of the Smallville block."
"Although they are not very useful now, as long as half a year, the prosperity there will definitely surprise everyone."
"Please don't say no, you deserve it."
"In fact, compared to what you did in 2567, these two shops are really nothing. I should have given more, but the reconstruction of the Smallville block needs too much money, so I can only give These, and the rest, I will compensate you in other ways."
Dresden said sincerely with apology, and then took the box under the coffee table to the coffee table.
This suitcase is not big, a standard 24-inch suitcase, but after touching the coffee table, the sound from it is very heavy.
Dresden didn't hold back and opened the suitcase directly.
Inside are three boxes made of solid wood, one big and two small, the big one is at the bottom and the small one is at the top, all locked with locks.
"I heard that in 2567 you were looking for secret books and orphan books from the Pope's time, so I asked someone to collect them."
"Here's the key."
"Don't worry, they are not all of them, I will try to collect more."
Dresden said so.
Qin Ran did not refuse.
Compared with those two shops, he valued these three antique books more. After receiving the key from Dresden, Kieran checked it out.
Seeing that Qin Ran accepted the reward without hesitation, Dresden couldn't help laughing.
He admired Qin Ran for a person who didn't hide his thoughts.
It's not like some people, who obviously want something, but want to go around pretending to be nice.
After a few minutes, Qin Ran finished checking the three books.
no problem.
The paper is full of age, but the content on it is quite different from the current text, but this will not hinder Qin Ran.
After he packed the kraft paper bag containing the title deed and the three boxes into the suitcase, he handed them over to Emma Eddy
Emma Eddy pushed the box into the study, and when Emma Eddy disappeared behind the door of the study, Kieran spoke.
"Did you investigate what happened yesterday?"
Qin Ran asked.
Kieran did not hide anything about what happened yesterday.
Kieran informed Dresden of Plimpton City, the torturer, the 'Dark Gold', and the so-called devil.
Because, Qin Ran is very clear that these things cannot be concealed.
As long as Dresden starts to investigate, the other party will know this soon.
Instead of causing a gap because of this, it is better to make it clear directly.
"I sent all my men, but..."
"no idea!"
"I can be sure that the super criminals who attacked Aikend City are just other people's pawns, but I can't be sure who the hidden chess players are."
Dresden said solemnly.
After hearing these news from Qin Ran's mouth, the 'Fist of Justice' was really shocked. For the city of Plimpton, this 'Fist of Justice' has a fear that ordinary people don't have, let alone what should have been done. A torturer lost to history.
As for the 'dark gold' and the so-called devils, they are more and more troublesome for 'Fist of Justice'.
He always felt as if he was going to be thrown back to the time of the Pope six years ago.
Because only in that era, these words were prevalent.
"As soon as possible."
"We don't have much time."
"The city of Aikend has become the target of public criticism."
Qin Ran was not surprised.
Although the League of Legends is extremely powerful and possesses excellent intelligence, it is not possible to obtain all the information overnight.
It takes time.
But it just so happened that 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 already contacted 'Juanjuan' to incorporate his security company into the defense force, and 'Juanjuan' is familiar with training security guards. Personnel, on the existing basis, a considerable number of people can be added to the defense queue in just one week."
"Also, I have proposed to the mayor to rearrange the defense of Aikend City."
"The police department, the fire department, etc. will all enter our defense system."
"The mayor has already agreed."
Speaking of the good news, Dresden couldn't help laughing.
The chat afterwards became more relaxed, and after about fifteen minutes, Dresden got up and left.
As the leader of the League of Legends, Dresden is busy at this time. Not only the superheroes need him to contact, but also the armed forces belonging to ordinary people need him to unite.
Thinking about the attitude of the middle-aged police chief, Kieran knew that this was not an easy matter.
Because, that is the attitude of most ordinary people in power.
Deer, hunted for their antler.
How can superheroes be an exception
Their unique abilities have already made them need to bear jealousy, exclusion, and even all kinds of dark thoughts when they are different.
Therefore, many times, heroes have become criminals.
Not born bad.
only…
Forced to do so.
Dresden has encountered these things, he still sticks to the bottom line, and he hopes that other superheroes can do the same, so he can't let himself stop.
He must move on.
He has to do his best.
The door was closed.
The car in Dresden disappeared into the rain. Kieran took the hot tea from Emma Eddie, took a sip, and looked at Galan.
"My lord, everything is normal."
"There are no watchers around you."
"Nor any follower."
Galan stepped out of the shadows.
"Yeah?"
Kieran who was holding the teacup gently placed the teacup on the coffee table.
The reaction speed of the other party was a little slower than he imagined.
No!
It should be that the other party chose another way.
A more stealthy and safe way.
Coincidentally, he is extremely easy to be targeted by this method now.
Qin Ran was not worried about this.
On the contrary, he wished that the other party would do this.
However, out of habitual caution, Kieran felt that a layer of insurance needed to be added.
Snapped!
Qin Ran snapped his fingers.
"Boss, at your service."
The high-level evil spirit appeared next to Qin Ran in response, and there was no need for Qin Ran to order anything more. The high-level evil spirit already knew what Qin Ran wanted to do.
"I will do my best."
As the upper evil spirit spoke, it disappeared in place.
…
Fries seemed unaware of the chill brought by the heavy rain.
Holding an umbrella with a long black handle, he pushed open the door of the cafe.
In the sound of welcome, he refused the hot towel offered by the waiter, and walked towards the corner.
As the famous "Freezer" in Eikend, in Fries' view, this kind of cold air is just like a child's play house, which is completely unsatisfactory.
If it wasn't for taking care of those who would trade with him, Fries would simply choose a more open place instead of the warm cafe in front of him.
Although the cafe in front of me has soft lighting, moving music, and enough mellow coffee, compared with the safety of the open space, the former can be completely discarded.
Comfort makes it easy to let your guard down.
And vigilance is about life.
There’s nothing wrong with giving up comfort to gain vigilance for this.
At least, that's how Fries sees it.
The premise is that there is no order from Qin Ran.
Fries, who obtained Qin Ran's "obtaining more secret books and unique books from the Pope's period", is completely on the starting point at this moment.
He would still remain vigilant, but he had the premise of fulfilling Kieran's orders first.
Therefore, he began to consider the feelings of those with whom he traded.
At least, in Fries' view, the immediate environment has the effect of increasing the success rate of transactions.
In fact, it is
"Hello, Your Excellency."
"Did you post the message?"
A middle-aged man looked around after entering the cafe. After seeing Fries, he immediately walked over. The other person was wiping, feeling the warmth of the hot towel, and couldn't help smiling at Fries.
"It's great to have this kind of service in this weather."
"I have a single copy from the Pope's time."
"It's a bit incomplete, but it can roughly guarantee about 70% of the content."
"Need an inspection?"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he took out a book wrapped in an oilcloth from his arms.
Frith took the oilcloth package without saying a word.
The middle-aged man did not refuse.
The reason why he dared to go to the appointment alone, and was outspoken, was not only confident in himself, but also because the person in front of him had a pretty good reputation.
Never break a deal, never lie to others.
Of course, the premise is that you have not violated the transaction.
otherwise…
There are not one or two missing persons in Eikend.
"Um."
After careful inspection, Fries took out the checkbook and wrote a six-digit price, which was the price he gave when he released the news.
There will be fluctuations due to the completeness and preciousness of the books, but not much.
The middle-aged man took the check, looked at the numbers on it and showed a satisfied smile.
"By the way, I have another message about a similar book, and it will be given 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 made an offer, he waited for Frith to counter-offer.
However, to the other party's surprise, Fries had no intention of bargaining at all, and directly signed another check and handed it to the other party.
After obtaining the gold from 'Mr. Evil Spirit', Fries never engaged in so-called bargaining again.
In his opinion, this kind of thing is a waste of time.
Snapped!
The middle-aged man flipped the check lightly, and after carefully packing the check, he immediately picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote down a phone number.
"A very pleasant transaction."
"Hope we see you next time."
The middle-aged man walked out as he spoke.
However, the moment the other party pushed open the door of the cafe.
boom!
There was a shot.
The middle-aged man's head just exploded.
Under the impact of the bullets, the headless corpse staggered and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
"Killed!"
After screaming one after another, the people in the cafe began to rush towards the back door one after another.
The shooter did not stop him.
The other party allowed these people to leave, and walked towards Ferris with a gun in hand.
Snapped.
The pistol was thrown on the table by the other party. The other party pulled out the chair and sat in. His legs naturally rested on the table.
"I heard that you are looking for a secret copy, an isolated copy from the time of the Pope?"
The other party asked in a frivolous voice.
However, it was precisely because of such a frivolous voice that the chill surrounding Frith's fingertips dissipated.
"You have?"
Frith asked.
"certainly!"
"We found a tomb of a great nobleman in the suburbs before, and we wanted to get rid of the contents, but a guy passing by kept spreading our news, making it difficult for us to move forward."
"so… "
"We chose to kill him."
"This is a warning!"
"Warning those who are staring at us, be careful, don't mess with us!"
The other party said murderously.
But in Frith's eyes, he was stern and bluffing, but what did it matter to him
He just came to fulfill Kieran's order.
As for others
Frith was indifferent.
"What about things?"
Frith asked directly.
"In a hidden place."
"Do you dare to come with me?"
It seemed that 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 stood up and walked towards the door.
"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 the other.
No one paid attention to the middle-aged man who fell to the ground.
The dead are the safest.
But the moment the two left, the corpse on the ground started to move.
The shattered head and the brains flying around seemed to have memories, and began to squirm towards the fallen torso.
After only ten seconds, the middle-aged man returned to his original state.
The opponent who had come back from the dead patted the dust on his body from falling to the ground, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Baited."
The other party whispered to himself, and then snorted contemptuously.
"One bullet to kill me?"
"Innocent!"
"I am immortal."
The other party was about to step away after speaking, but just as he lifted his leg, the other party heard a voice behind him.
"oh?"
"immortal?"
"What a coincidence!"
