Last Totem Novel - Chapter 388
Chapter 388 Dark Battle
Just as Lilith was plotting how to seduce the captain, three groups of people were whispering in different positions in the bar.
The first group of people, who wore newer clothes and better fabrics, sat in the best seats on the front stage of the bar, discussing in a low voice in a noisy environment.
“Chief, what exactly did the person we’re looking for do? Is it related to the loss of the Wilderness Knights and Thunderhammer?” A tall, handsome blonde man asked.
“Don’t ask too much. We just need to find that person and catch him back.” A middle-aged man with brown and red hair said.
“Is it confidential?” The blonde man asked.
“Don’t ask anymore, it’s top secret!” The brown-haired man frowned and said in a deep voice.
“This” The blonde man picked up the sketch and said, “Apart from the cemetery, there are probably not many people in the world who don’t recognize this face.”
‘”I repeat, this man is not a Wilderness Knight, he just looks like him. If you continue to struggle with this issue, not only will your future be dim, even the director and I will be implicated, understand?” The big brown-haired man said with a dark face, “I can only tell you that it was signed by Sherry Cristina.”
“Hiss” The blonde man took a deep breath and didn’t dare to ask any further. Shirley Christina was Eva Green’s assistant, and he had to pretend not to know about this aspect of the problem even if he knew about it.
After a long moment of silence, the brown-haired man took the lead in breaking the solemn atmosphere and said, “Alright, alright, forget about those useless things. Think about what to do next.”
“Director” The blonde man raised his head, his face ashen as he stammered, “After this matter is over … will we … be …”
Halfway through his words, the brown-haired man waved his hand and interrupted him. Then, he sighed deeply and said, “Even if I do, I have to take this matter seriously. Otherwise, our family …”
The golden-haired man’s entire body immediately withered. No wonder they were all implanted with “satellite positioning trackers” before they set off. It turned out that they were not protecting them, but monitoring them. They were affiliated with the Silver Knights Alliance’s spy organization, Blade of Backlight. Behind the Silver Knights Alliance was the eleven nobles of the world. Even though they knew that after this operation, they were likely to be frozen until the end of their lives, they still had to carry out their mission seriously. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
At the same time, the second group sat on the right side of the stage. They wore a variety of clothes and spoke with a Far Eastern accent. About a dozen people, In the middle was an extremely outstanding looking girl. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was sweet and cold, charming and indifferent. This kind of contradictory temperament filled her with an indescribable temptation and dangerous aura. She was like a human beauty with sharp blades all over her body. It was both unimaginable and made people feel hairy from the bottom of their hearts.
There was a trace of viciousness in the purity, and a trace of cold killing intent hidden in the sweetness.
Evil Charm seemed to be the only word that could describe her.
The others at the table were extremely respectful towards this girl. A single glance or small gesture from her could stop them from breathing, and they didn’t even dare to breathe a single mouthful of air.
“Zhang Ping.” The girl shouted expressionlessly.
“Yes.”
“Turn around and look at the waitress on the right side of the bar, wearing a black maid’s dress and a white apron. Turn around and don’t arouse her suspicions.” She spoke evenly and ordered in a steady voice.
“Yes.” He turned his head casually, glanced at the corner of his eyes, and then turned around and said, “Yes, he looks good. He’s about fifteen or sixteen years old.”
“She’s a spy on one side. You’re responsible for monitoring her.” The girl instructed.
“Yes.” The man named Zhang Ping nodded slightly and replied.
“Sun Fei.” The girl shouted again.
“Yes.”
‘”Take a look at the third table by the south side wall. There is a skinny man about 1.9 meters tall. He is about 30 years old. He and the waitress are partners. Don’t turn around to look at him. He is more alert than the waitress. Don’t appear in his line of sight when following him. Just follow him with a scent.” Then, the girl explained, “They are all unfamiliar faces. They haven’t appeared here since this month. I saw them communicate twice just now. There must be something wrong here.”
“Yes.” The man named Sun Fei nodded in agreement.
“Li Min.” The girl called out another name.
“Yes.”
“What are the movements of those people?” The girl asked.
“They send people everywhere to ask questions every day, but they don’t seem to have any experience. They’re like a swarm of headless flies flying everywhere.” The man named Li Min replied.
“Keep an eye on him, and then …” The girl’s gaze swept across his face. He was immediately shocked, as if he had been bitten by something, and his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
“Don’t underestimate anyone.” The girl withdrew her gaze and said calmly. Her voice was emotionless, like a pool of deep water.
“Yes.” Li Min hurriedly nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the third group of people they were discussing was sitting in the eastern corner of the bar. There were about twenty people, led by a well-proportioned, ordinary looking young man, about twenty-five or sixteen years old.
“Old Di asked us to find Iron Eagle, but how can we find this vast sea of people?” Another young man complained.
“I suddenly feel that we are here to cause trouble for him. Perhaps it’s good that we can’t find him, but if we find him, it will be even more troublesome.” The young man in the lead suddenly sighed.
“Wildfire, what do you mean by that?” “That’s right, what exactly did we do wrong?” “We work hard every day. What are you not satisfied with?” Everyone asked in a tongue-tied manner.
“Don’t you think? Our group is like a pile of fireflies. It’s too eye-catching.” The young man called Wildfire said.
“We don’t have any professional training.” “I know how to fight. I really can’t do anything sneaky.” “You can’t blame us for this. Before I came here, I was a repairman.”
Wildfire sighed and said, “Alright, alright, I’m not blaming you. I just think we’re too weak.” He was one of Tie Zhan’er’s playmates. He usually worked as a bounty hunter in Sand City. This time, Old Di called him back to lead the team and went to the southern cemetery to inquire about Tie Zha’s whereabouts. However, after coming here, he discovered that many people were looking for Tie Zha. Moreover, they seemed to be big powers. Not only were there more people and social resources than them, they were even more professional than them. That was why he had such an idea.
Just as everyone lowered their heads to drink, Lilith came to the captain with a glass of red cherry cocktail soaked in it, shaking her little butt.
“Sir, this is for you.” She bent slightly and placed the cocktail in front of the captain, intentionally or unintentionally revealing a gulf.
“Why didn’t I?” The fat chef asked with an unhappy expression.
‘”I’m sorry, I forgot …” Lilith blushed slightly and said embarrassedly.
“Forget it, I won’t drink this sweet wine.” The fat chef shook his head and said.
“Friend, thank you.” The captain smiled and raised his glass to greet her. Then, he took a sip and sighed, “It tastes good.”
“I … I made this.” Lilith said timidly.
The captain was surprised and asked, “Really?”
‘”Mm” Lilith nodded.
“What a surprise. Can I have another cup? Oh … no … two more cups.” As he spoke, the captain took out five gold coins and put them on the plate. Seeing the captain’s movements, the fat chef lowered his head, rolled his eyes and shook his head.
“Certainly, sir.” Lilith bowed slightly, bowed, and left. As he passed Quinn, he whispered, “He took the bait.”
“Alright, I will protect you in the dark.” Quinn replied in a low voice.
When Lilith returned to the table with two cocktails, the fat chef was no longer there.
“He went back to rest.” Explained the captain, then invited her to sit down. ‘Looks like there’s no one to drink this glass of wine. May I ask if you can help me?’
“Yes.” Lilith sat down and took a sip from her glass.
The captain maintained a smile, but he only looked at her quietly without saying a word. This was his sixth trump card-letting the lady speak first gave her the illusion of initiative.
“You … are you a captain?” Lilith took another sip of the wine and gathered her courage to ask.
“Yes.” Said the captain.
“You must have been to many places, haven’t you?” Lilith asked with a yearning expression.
“Of course, we roamed the horizon, traveling across the seven seas, traveling through every corner of the world.” The captain boasted seriously.
“Then you must have been to many beautiful places.” Lilith said enviously.
“The setting sun on the sea is like golden sand falling into the water. The aurora in the snowy plains is like a waterfall hanging in the sky, a mysterious garden in the Golden Triangle, a green bamboo sea in the Far East …”
“Can you take me out of here?” Lilith suddenly asked.
“Huh?” The captain asked knowingly.
“Take me out of here to see the places you mentioned.” Lilith gritted her teeth and said resolutely.
“Dear lady, I am at your service.” The captain nodded slightly and said.
In the following time, the two of them became more and more intimate. When the bar closed, the two of them entered the guest room on the third floor. Lilith and Quinn’s plan was simple and brutal, getting drunk or knocking the captain unconscious, then bringing him back to camp in Tie Zha as a hostage to threaten his subordinates with ships for them.
However, after a few drinks in the room, the captain’s expression suddenly changed without warning. He put down his glass and said with a fierce expression, “Stop pretending and let your friend come out.”
Lilith was shocked and took a step back with her dagger tightly clenched around her waist.
