At this moment, in front of his Moshikan's hair, which was more proud than a cockfighting cock, was a group of trembling little brothers, and Kogrim could find almost all the inhuman races except the elves.

After scolding his unfavorable thug, the machete turned around and looked at Kogrim:

"My people are all good people. If you can sneak in so quietly, you should be called "Master". So, this witch hunter master, do you have any lessons to teach me?"

Kogrim stood coldly, his body at the edge of the room, moving his fingers from time to time, and he could draw out his weapons or escape at any time.

Zoertan hugged his arms between the two, looking at the machete, and looking up at Kogrim.

"I received a mission to kill you because Schappelle didn't want the riot to hurt civilians."

"Ha! The plan was known like this. Fortunately, I didn't decide to follow the warlock, otherwise we would probably turn into a torch in the square together in two days!"

"Go back and tell Shapet that I am a gangster, but not a damn villain. We have been an opponent together for so many years, and he still doesn't know me? I hope to win the rights of my fellow countrymen so that they can buy bread and wine at the same price as humans, but never threaten others with sticks to give us food!"

"A few people like us live in Novigre, and we always have to be united. Although sticks and knives are indispensable to make the tall people talk equally with us, we are indeed honest people who live a peaceful and stable life."

The machete shook his head and the tattoos on his body were also jumping: "The city is more chaotic, won't our lives be worse? A peaceful life makes me fewer and fewer thugs, but I know that when there is danger, everyone around me is a warrior. The proposal of Caleb Mange and the warlock is bullshit to me, and I have no interest in dealing with friends because of this."

"Not only me, I guess Francis doesn't want to follow Caleb Mangi. Although the nickname of the 'Beggar King' is self-proclaimed, it is also recognized by his subordinates. You may not believe it. That guy is a good person, often sheltering homeless people, and occasionally helping others with kindness and unreasonable reasons. Although this situation may only happen once a few years, it is understandable that this damn world..."

Speaking of this, one of the three underground giants of Novigri proudly raised his chest: "So we are both good people!"

…………

"Later, Zoertan used his mother's name to guarantee the machete, and I believed it." Kogrim said, "After all, the purpose of our assassination is to prevent the citizens from being disturbed by riots, right? Then I don't think there is any need to kill him."

Lane nodded, approving Kogrim's approach.

When Zoertan arrived at Novigri, he was temporarily separated from Lane, saying that he was preparing to raise a caravan to go to Sintra. Now it seems that he is preparing to cooperate with the machete to run the caravan.

In this case, the machete can barely be considered a "friend".

As for whether the staying of a gangster group like Machete will be beneficial to the citizens of Novigray, that is not the issue that Lane should consider. Is it related to him?

To take a step back, even if the political power of the gang really disappears, it is hard to say whether the result is good or bad for Novigra and Lann. After all, Novigra is not the "holy city" of Eternal Fire, but the commercial center of the north, the city of freedom.

I am really busy lately and haven't paid attention to Zoertan. Maybe I should find an opportunity to have a good chat with him...

Lann was thinking, and with a "bang", a sound of land suddenly sounded on the balcony.

Three assassins were sent tonight, and it was time to come back one after another. However, the sound made by the landing man was very dull, at least he had to be a person with the tonnage of Resso.

Among the three Snake Sects arranged, no one could make such a sound.

Several witch hunters in the house immediately became alert.

But then, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded.

This was a secret code that had been agreed upon in advance, which made everyone relax their vigilance and raised doubts.

The balcony door opened, revealing Oaks' face.

On his shoulder, he was carrying a tall and thin man, and he seemed to have been knocked out.

This was another unexpected development of Lann: "You...can't find a place to deal with the body, so you can carry it back?"

Oaks seemed to realize that his behavior was not very assassin and explained: "This is quite complicated... In short, he knew that I was going to assassinate him, and then cheated me out and said a lot of messy things to me. I didn't understand it very well, but suddenly I felt that it was better to live than to die, so I just carried it back and let him tell you that you should make your own decision."

Lane raised his eyebrows: "He knows you are going to assassinate him? Tell me in detail."

After listening to Oaks' retelling, Lane couldn't help but sigh.

"It is really not easy to establish underground forces in Novigray, a place where the king can't even reach out to the king... at least it's much better than those messy noble jazz. I don't know what the situation will be with Seret..."

Lane was waiting for the beggar king to wake up, while waiting for the last one to return at this moment.

After a while, the agreed knock sounded again on the balcony door.

As soon as Seret opened the door, he saw that the Snake Sect companions who were leaving together were already sitting in the house. He asked incredibly: "Why are you all back so quickly? Am I the last one?"

Then he saw the beggar king in the corner and was even more surprised: "Why are you carrying the body back?"

Everyone did not explain to Seret, but looked at him expectantly: "Did you kill Hawthorne?"

"Of course." Seret looked confused, "Although their gang family is in preparation for war, the garrison is quite strict, and there are many guard posts in the middle of the night. But after all, it's just the leader of the gang family, which is very easy."

Then there was ridicule and contempt on his face, looking at Kogrim and Oaks and asked, "You two didn't come back so early because of the mistake, right? Then what's going on with this corpse?"

The beggar king suddenly let out a low moan and he woke up.

…………

"Father!"

This is in a casino, where all the tables within sight were overturned, and a team of thugs knelt on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face. They were tied up by their masters because of the unfavorable protection, and they had obviously suffered a lot.

A young man with dark brown hair was lying on Hawthorne's body crying.

Seeing this, Hawthorne's deputy sighed. This young man usually faced Hawthorne's tit-for-tat and even fought many times. He thought he was a ruthless person like Hawthorne, but he didn't expect that he would still have a heart that was flesh.

The deputy was unable to see the sight of the young man's face buried in Hawthorne's clothes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

I sighed in my heart that my father and son had a deep affection, and my deputy felt more at ease. Maybe this "emotional" young man could inherit the family business and make my brothers live a little better.

Even more presumptuous...

However, now, there is still an imminent thing in front of you, and someone who can suppress other voices within the family for a short time in his identity will come forward.

"Cyprus, I know you're sad now, but don't be sad for now," said the deputy. "You need to be a man."

The young man lowered his head and replied: "I know, it's all for business..."

He was crying, but there was no tears on his face.

The deputy nodded and was very satisfied with the youth's answer: "The things have been prepared and all the people have been scattered. Now that your father is dead, we need to withdraw them quickly, otherwise we will likely be seized by our enemies..."

"Why should I withdraw it?" The young man suddenly looked up, and his eyes were flashing with the familiar light of his deputy.

That is the trait of a gangster helm, that is a cruel look.

"Aren't you going to start a riot? Are you going to cooperate with Eternal Fire? Why stop?"

"Add to order, we not only want to start a riot, but also organize a massacre and expand our territory as much as possible. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The kind of restrained behavior in the original plan is not what the Willy family should have!"

"Transfer my meaning to everyone's ears and say--this is the order of Hawthorne II!"

I originally thought that I would get up to see the updates in the early morning, but the book friends group reported that they were staying up late to chase the updates, which was very harmful.

So the update is ahead of time to the present.
