Chapter 438: Shed, Raid

The interior space of the shed was much more spacious than it looked from the outside. There was no light, and only a few wisps of dim light seeping down from the cracks in the walls barely illuminated the environment inside the house.

Dust floated, and the damp air was filled with a decaying smell that made people can't help but frown.

The wooden door was pushed open and quickly closed. The man with broken eyebrows and a gloomy face walked into the room, his gaze subconsciously sweeping toward the direction of the storage room first.

Through the iron window embedded in the surface of the room door, one could vaguely see a weak figure tied with hemp rope, lying motionless on the floor of the storage room.

The velvet dress no longer had the gorgeous and clean appearance of the past, stained with a lot of dust and mud, but the overall clothing was still quite neat, with no traces of being torn or violated.

A large dose of sleeping potion was enough to keep this Baron's daughter named "Aili," who grew up in a greenhouse, in a coma from last night until now.

Otherwise, they really might not be able to ensure that the other party would not suffer fatal or serious injuries, and let this tulip that grew up in a greenhouse be quiet and obedient throughout the process.

To be honest, for a noble lady with such fair skin to fall into the hands of gang members like them for more than ten hours, and still be able to wear that dress so decently, to some extent, it could be called a miracle.

Of course, it was not because the members of the Great Shark Gang had any outstanding quality, or had any pity for this poor and unlucky noble lady.

The reason for this was still on her father, who was a Baron and a special approval officer.

"Cleaned up?"

A low and thick voice came from the deepest part of the room.

The leader of the Great Shark Gang, "Great Shark" Lailuo, sat on a wine barrel and asked the man with broken eyebrows who had just walked into the room.

He was tall and sturdy, with a square face, and a double-edged giant axe with an axe face larger than an ordinary person's torso leaning against his feet.

As a lv5 professional warrior, the excellent physical fitness and the comprehensiveness given by the basic profession allowed this man to make a name for himself as an adventurer many years ago, and now he has become the leader of a gang-type organization.

"Basically." The gloomy man nodded slowly, his eyebrows cut off by scars looming under the shadow.

He was the second-in-command of the Great Shark Gang, "Bati," a lv4 rogue, and he was originally a teammate of Lailuo in the same adventurer team, and later joined the organization created by the other party.

"But that knife is not on him."

"It was probably snatched by someone else when he was showing off. It doesn't matter, as long as the person is dead." Gang leader Lailuo expressed a quite casual attitude toward the missing scalpel.

After all, if it was really some rare item, he couldn't have given the knife to "Blood-Nosed Rat" Jieli as a token.

Without the golden finger of the attribute panel, the scalpel from another world was just a trophy they accidentally fished up during the voyage. Even if the shape was strange and novel, after actual inspection, its material structure, which was too focused on sharpness but extremely poor in toughness and had no practical value, destined it to only be sold as a collectible for specific groups of people.

For Lailuo, the original owner of the scalpel, compared to the current situation, if the thing was lost, it was lost. As long as the witness during the transfer, that stupid little hoodlum who didn't know his own strength and wanted to join their gang, was dead, that was enough.

It was just that the conditions were limited this morning, and dealing with the corpse and so on was troublesome and time-consuming, otherwise he would have slaughtered that little rat on the spot and wouldn't have left it until now.

Bati didn't answer, took the hot water handed over by a little brother beside him, touched his lips to confirm there was no problem, and only then sipped it slowly.

Accompanying darkness and shadows, focusing on agility and dexterity, with excellent stealth ability...

【Rogue】 because of its own professional characteristics, in many situations outside of adventure, can be linked to "assassin" and "killer."

Bati was naturally no exception.

Since he broke away from the original adventurer team with Lailuo and founded the Great Shark Gang, the blood stained on his dagger only remained 20% from monsters, and the vast majority of the rest were all kinds of adventurers, town residents, and hostile forces.

Like the little hoodlum Jieli just now, he had killed so many that he was almost numb, and naturally, he couldn't have any extra thoughts.

A pair of cold eyes stared at the noble girl behind the storage room door, and after a long time, he slowly spat out a sentence:

"The ship for pick-up should arrive by noon today at the latest."

"You know the situation now." "Great Shark" Lailuo's tone was low and steady, but it also faintly showed some irritability, "The port side has been sealed off. It's not just the level of daily inspection. The guards of the Governor's Mansion even take out the ballast stones of every ship leaving the port to see, it's not just for show."

"Don't worry, that 'lord' said that if the situation tightens, he will give us a signal and arrange other ways to leave."

"Signal?" The broken-brow Bati sneered. He was too familiar with the other party after many years of getting along. Even if Lailuo was sitting in the position of gang leader right now, he didn't give much respect.

"Do you know how many batches of guards from the Governor's Mansion I met on the way back just now?"

"We are just rats in the sewer that can't see the light now, bo~ss~"

Bati dragged his tail, his tone full of undisguised sarcasm.

"Those noble lords sit on the sofa, drink red wine, and throw out a bone at will, which can make us howl and go to tear their opponents."

"If you bite lightly, there is no effect, the lords are not satisfied; if you bite heavily, bleed, the first one to be sent out during the liquidation is us!"

"Lailuo, don't you understand!?"

From beginning to end, Bati held an opposing attitude toward Lailuo's plan.

Adventurers and gang members are completely different.

The former only needs to be responsible for themselves, just like locusts crossing the border. No matter how bad and extreme they do things, they can just pat their butts and change to another place;

The latter is a proper force organization, needing manpower, territory, needing deep and careful operation, and also having countless entanglements.

With the scale of their Great Shark Gang's power, they should absolutely not get involved in this level of incident, let alone as the executor of kidnapping the Baron's daughter.

If there is even a slight mistake, it will be a crushing end.

"Are you afraid?"

Lailuo raised his eyes, his face shrouded in shadow, unable to see his expression, his tone still steady.

"Afraid? Lailuo, what is the point of discussing these things now?" The broken-brow Bati hung a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, but his speaking speed was getting faster and faster, "I just think, maybe we should think about our own retreat."

"The Baron lost his daughter, just like a hornet's nest that has been poked. He can become a special approval officer, not just relying on that so-called 'Baron' title."

"The Adventurer Association's commission is posted on the mission wall. In the entire Shoal Bay, I'm afraid there are hundreds of adventurers looking for us. How many of them have already obtained professional levels, guess?"

"It's been so long, where is the 'safe passage' promised by that lord? Haven't even seen a shadow, right?"

"The original promise was just to 'invite' the young lady to be a guest for a few days, to scare Baron Faluo and make him understand a bit next time he approves."

"What about now?"

"With the current situation in Shoal Bay, it has long passed the degree of 'giving a lesson'. How do you think we can exit?"

The Great Shark Gang is the "black glove" of those noble lords in the White Cliff District.

The combat power within the organization is not low, with multiple professional-level adventurers, and the professional levels of the gang leader and the second-in-command have reached lv5 and lv4 respectively, which is absolutely not bad.

But it is limited by the complex force environment within the Saltwater District, longing for development but unable to get it.

In this case, as long as those noble lords who hold power speak a little, the sharks who smell blood will gather on their own.

The specific content of the interest exchange is actually very simple.

The Great Shark Gang uses the intelligence information provided by the above to kidnap Baron Faluo's daughter. Of course, they don't hurt her, just give this special approval officer a lesson, so that he will turn a blind eye to certain approval applications in his future work.

In this way, the nobles gained benefits, and the Great Shark Gang, which was on the surface, after a period of silence, can change to any name like "Tooth Shark Gang," "Great Whale Gang," etc., and can also use the resources and relationships from the White Cliff District that they got from this incident to re-develop.

But right now, the situation has developed to this point, and it seems to be gradually getting out of control.

The shed was dead silent.

The little brothers on both sides looked at their noses and hearts, not daring to say another word. ===== CHAPTER 439 =====
