Chapter 345 I Am Not a Person Who Pays Attention to Money!

"Yes, that's right...eh?"

After responding subconsciously, as if a dark wind was blowing across his neck, the black figure's body trembled for an instant, and then the figure did not turn around, but instead moved forward instead of retreating. He took a step forward, bending his right arm to hold an undetectable blade like light. Whip and cut back.

The reaction at this moment was not unpleasant, but unfortunately, as soon as he threw his arm out halfway, the joint was grabbed, preventing him from making any progress. The shadow didn't panic, because it was just a feint, and his left elbow and right foot were silently striking back.

Bang, bang... there were two muffled sounds, and the man in black felt a chill in his heart, because his two hidden attacks were unloaded by Roujin from behind in no particular order, and were immediately locked tightly.

"Haha, lie down, you..." A rather joking voice sounded behind his ears. woman? Surprise flashed through the heart of the man in black, and then he felt pain in his left leg, which was the only support, and he fell forward involuntarily.

It’s over…

Although there were only a few close encounters, and the process only lasted for a breath, the man in black knew in his heart that the outcome was decided. His instant counterattack can be called fast and sharp. If it were normal, even if the situation could not be reversed, escaping would not be a big problem. But the woman behind him was really terrifying. Not only did she react no slower than him, but she also fully understood his intentions. So, it was no wonder that he felt like he was about to die...

The bang was still soft and not loud, but until the man in black was completely pinned to the ground with his face down, there was no chance of escape.

His eyes blurred, and the black scarf on his face was taken off.

"Tsk, tsk, as expected...Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here?"

Although he was surprised by the tone of the woman behind him saying, "Sure enough," the man in black felt happy when he saw that he was not killed immediately, and his mind was spinning, "I have something to say, something to say... I, my name is Arthur, I'm just a guy You little thief wants to come in and steal something."

"Arthur..." There was a slight silence behind him, and then he said, "Oh? Is this really the case? No, you are lying to me!"

There is a door! The man in black felt certain, and then cried in a more plaintive tone, "I'm wronged, I've already been like this, how can I dare to lie to you... I heard that there are a few rich people living here, and they want to come in and steal some things to supplement themselves. Household expenses. Unfortunately, I am an old man and a young man, so I have no choice but to embark on this road of no return!"

"That's it... Well, then I'll believe you for now. Have you found the seal?"

"Not yet... eh?" After saying this, the man in black suddenly broke out in sweat. Damn, he was hit. "Not yet... I didn't hear clearly. You, what did you just say?"

After finishing the stammering remedy, the man in black waited anxiously for the reaction behind him. Unexpectedly, bang, I was hit on the back of my head, and the pressure behind my back was relieved. The same playful but no longer pleasant female voice sounded, "You are still a thief with your intelligence? The future is worrying, why don't you go back and get some sleep... Tsk tsk, still. Using my name is really... embarrassing to me!"

"Huh? W-what do you mean..." The man in black turned around and looked at the curvaceous woman in front of him inexplicably. His face was full of astonishment, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, "Wait, your name... I'll wipe it, Tang En !”

"Well, he's not that stupid, so he can still be saved." Shrugging, Tang En leaned over and stretched out his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Haha, long time no see, Jack."

…

That's right, the unlucky thief who came in in the middle of the night and was beaten was none other than Jack, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After the two of them digested the information that this coincidence couldn't be more coincidental, they looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, Tang, Tang, you are like this... Haha, woman? I'm laughing so hard... Oops, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore..."

"Laughing at me? Don't even think about your previous situation... Haha, do you know that when you were pressed by the table, I almost fell off the beam with laughter, haha..."

Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, they quickly closed the distance with each other using mocking words.

After a moment, the two of them finally stopped laughing, and Tang En waved his hand: "No more... Well, by the way, why are you here stealing things?"

Whether you are a thief, an assassin, a mercenary, etc., it is a common rule that you cannot betray your employer's information. However, based on the relationship between the two of them, Jack naturally wouldn't care about this and said without hesitation: "Didn't I just receive a mission? The reward is good and it's a big job. Hey, it's not what I said. If that thing is not important, hurry up." Give it to me, my friends, and I can give you 30%, it’s interesting enough.”

Of course this was a joke. Tang En chuckled and shook his head, not answering the question. After confirming that Jack was not with those men in black, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "Haha, you are quite courageous. Don't you know that Powers is here?"

"Oh, of course I know." Even though he had not seen each other for a long time, Jack was still excited when he heard this and his body trembled, "I just arrived in Shanxi City ten days ago, and I wanted to leave after learning this. . But then I heard that Powis went to a neighboring city to investigate the case, and I happened to be a little tight on money, so naturally I had to do something first."

"Go to the neighboring city to investigate the case, there is such a thing..." Tang En frowned, and then thought of Powers and Bernie in disguise, and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder, that's how it is..."

"Who are you...there are assassins!"

Before Tang En could finish his murmur, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside, followed by non-stop noise.

"Where is it? Turn on the light, turn on the light!"

"If you want to leave, just die... Haha, feel good... Uh, there's another one here, he jumped off the building, hurry up and block him..."

"How are you nobles? Come and have a look..."

"..."

Feeling the vibrations on the floor of the house and the panic outside, Tang En and Jack looked at each other in astonishment.

"Do you have any accomplices?"

"How is that possible? I always work alone."

With his mind spinning, Tang En took something out of his arms and handed it over, asking, "If you succeed, where will the transaction be?"

"A tavern in Xicheng District... what is it, a seal? Uh, Tang En, I was joking before."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go, I'll go there with you." Tang En took Jack a few steps quickly and opened the back window.

The back garden is brightly lit, as bright as day. Although there was some chaos, many cavalry could be seen constantly shuttled among them, but it may be because the invaders did not escape here, so there was no fighting scene.

"How did you get in in the first place? Let's go back the way we came."

"The route map given by the employer. Now... I don't know if that route will work. Let's give it a try and let's go!" He patted the window and jumped down just as the patrolling cavalry passed by below.

Tang En looked back at the situation in the room, no longer hesitated, turned over and closed the window, his figure falling rapidly.

Along the way, they rushed out of the hotel with almost no pause. Of course, this does not mean that the cavalry's defense is bad. With such a result, it can only be said that Jack's road map is very reliable, or that the employer is not simple...

At the same time, it may be that the number and strength of the intruders were very weak, and the chaos in the hotel was gradually subsided.

…

…

Xicheng District, a tavern on a remote street with a dim sign.

The tavern naturally does business at night, but at this hour, the people still here are basically homeless, or drunkards who have forgotten where their home is. Their fate is basically to be carried out by the waiters and thrown on the street. After all, the people in the tavern need to rest too.

"Ah..." The waiter leaning against the counter opened his mouth and yawned widely. He opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the hall, and then dozed listlessly again.

Naturally, this is because there are still guests. But he had no intention of driving them away. You must know that these people were very generous, and the tips alone were enough for him to earn for more than ten days. For such a sponsor, he naturally wished they could stay longer.

At this moment, bang, two trap doors of the tavern were pushed open.

The napping waiter subconsciously raised his head and saw a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion walking into the tavern and looking around casually.

He braced himself and went forward, "Sir, what do you need?"

"Dark rum, the strongest kind. Remember, don't mix it with water."

"Don't worry, sir, two silver coins, thank you."

"Charge it to my account!"

The sallow-faced middle-aged man and the waiter turned their heads at the same time. There were only three people sitting at a table in the empty hall, two strong men with expressionless faces and a thin middle-aged man in gray. It was the middle-aged man in gray who was speaking. He was holding a wine glass and pointing at the seat opposite, greeting him from a distance with a smile.

"Mr. Jack, please sit down."

The waiter stepped back after hearing this. Jack glanced here, frowned, and finally walked over and sat down, saying stiffly: "I don't seem to recognize you."

The name Jack is really common. It is estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Bran continent who call him this name. So Jack never cared about revealing his name unless there were special occasions. As for the realistic disguise on his face, it was naturally the same one Tang En gave him before.

The middle-aged man in gray didn't pay attention to Jack's tone, but still smiled and said: "That's true, but we have a common friend, Harper."

Jack suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp as daggers, and then calmed down: "He is just an employer, not a friend."

"When we make a deal, we will naturally become friends, just like you and me." Pointing to each other, the middle-aged man in gray put down his wine glass, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Since Mr. Jack can come here, he must Is the mission completed as well?”

After a pause, the waiter brought the dark rum over and left immediately.

Jack raised his eyebrows: "So what."

"Very good, he deserves to be a top thief." The middle-aged man in gray looked happy, stroking his palms in praise, then took out a dark red wooden box from his arms and pushed it to the middle of the table, "This is the reward, one thousand gold."

Jack's pupils shrank and he licked his lips involuntarily. Then his expression suddenly changed and he looked away: "What does this mean?"

The middle-aged man in gray frowned: "Huh? Mr. Jack is not joking... Of course this is a deal."

"Trade?" Jack shook his head and tried not to let his eyes contact the dark mahogany box below. "Sorry, I only trade with my employer."

Opening his mouth slightly, he was a little dazed. The middle-aged man in gray looked both sides and spread his hands, as if it was difficult to understand: "You are a thief, and this is the reward. Leave the things and take the reward. Isn't this a good deal? Is it done?”

"Sorry! I'm not a money-conscious person, I'm a traditional and rule-abiding person!"
