Chapter 12: Black Auction: Invasion
Deep in the villa, in the corridor leading to a room that was strictly guarded by elite members of the mafia that housed a large number of collectibles that were about to appear at auction, several members of the "Rubacher" who were directly affiliated with Garcia had fallen to the ground, breathing steadily, with calm expressions, looking very normal, the only anomaly was that they all fell into a deep coma and fell to the ground. There was not even a trace of a fight in the hallway.
It's unscientific...... Because the combat effectiveness of these elite members can be said to be extraordinary. Even an average tough investigator or officer of a garrison may not be 100% sure that they will be able to take them down in a one-on-one battle. If you want to subdue these people with a single face, you can imagine how difficult it is.
Of course, this is for masters in the general sense. For this time, for the intruder lurking in the shadows, this narrow space has become a suitable stage for him.
The bright light was suddenly obscured by the black shadow of slaughter. The only two remaining mafia members remembered Garcia's warning before leaving, but they still didn't have time to react, and suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground with convulsions. The Black Shadow didn't even look at his defeated men, his footsteps moved at an alarming speed, but without making a sound, he headed straight for the warehouse.
By the time Hyliga and Lloyd arrived, several of the mafia had been wiped outβtheir sleeping bodies lying in the corridor. The entire cloister is not even contaminated with excess dust, and it is still clean.
"Paralyzing toxins, not life-threatening." Hyliga and Vaji each crouched down in front of a corpse to examine it for a while, and finally came to the same conclusion, "The other party is very strong, and his style is not very reckless, killing all the guards...... Combined with the current situation, it is already obvious who the prisoner is. β
"Hmm...... Black Moon...... The one who can do this kind of thing is really him...... "Silver". Ellie's face was solemn, "It's a problem......
"Let's go......" Lloyd's face was also unpleasant, but he didn't mean to sit still, "Everyone, please help me-"
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ-
"My name is Silver...... Where the moonlight shines, you can come and go freely. The tiny poisonous needle in his hand was precisely inserted into the neck of a mafia to make him sleep, and looking at the remaining mafiosi who were carrying goods, he put down his task and looked at himself as if he were facing a great enemy, "Silver" declared unconcernedly, "If you don't want to be swallowed by this darkness...... Just leave on your own. β
"What the hell is ......" such a unilateral declaration, of course, people who have never seen the stunts of the supreme master do not believe it. Almost instantly, they formed a formation, trying to rush up and grab the Black Moon's helper.
It's a pity that their movements, in front of the centuries-old "silver", are almost as boring as slow motion. The figure under the moonlight was like a dream, like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirrorβalmost at the same time, all the mafias felt that the vital parts of their bodies had been smashed indifferently, and in an instant they lost consciousness and fainted.
"It's too weak...... How can there be no problems with this level of people guarding it? Silver looked at the motionless "corpses" all over the ground in a helpless tone, and in addition to contempt, there was also a joke about the intruder who had just broken down the door, "Do you say it?" β
"Silver" ......" Lloyd looked at the mafia members who had fallen to the ground with a complicated expression, "you ......"
"Strange assassination...... But do you avoid indiscriminate killing...... That's good too. Levi whispered, "Still, there seems to be some improvement in the technology." β
"Huh...... Should I say honored? Thanks to a master like you. "Silver" was not unconvinced or dissatisfied with Levy's condescending instructions, "Sure enough...... Cao, that guy is worried about you for no reason...... Any friend who accompanies you to this auction has the strength to approach the realm of "reason"? β
"I ...... I'm still practicing. LΓ©vy gave an unprecedented hint of appreciation, "Although there is not much difference in the essence of the purpose...... But I'm not a warrior on the right path...... It's the same with you. β
"It turns out that this ...... of Mr. Heliga Friend, is there such a strong one? Ellie looked at the silver-haired young man, who was also wearing a mask and looked unfathomable, in astonishment, and exclaimed in surprise. She had thought that this must be a master, but she didn't expect it to be such a strong existence-the realm of "reason", looking at the entire Cross Bell, only the "Wind Sword Saint" could reach this level.
"If it were just them, I could have acted more like no one...... However, since you two are also here. Silver's gaze swept over Levi and Helriga, "Then there is no way...... It just so happened that there was the second half of the auction in the room over there, and according to the information from the "Black Moon", it seemed that there was something interesting hidden...... Check it out for yourself. β
"That's what he told me...... And it hinted at something with me crazy. Heiliga smiled, "If it's true...... 'Rubacher' is a bit dangerous this time." β
"yes...... And so it is. As he said this, the figure of "Silver" gradually melted into the darkness and slowly disappeared into nothingness. Lloyd and Ellie hurried up, but they couldn't touch each other's entities.
"Is this the mysterious killer of the legendary Oriental Street, the "silver" that has been passed down for hundreds of years...... It's really powerful. Vaji looked at the place where the other had left with interest, and there was no awe in his tone.
"Indeed...... No, why don't you seem to care about what just happened? Lloyd was halfway through his sentence when he realized that the people around him didn't seem to be nervousβand it was needless to say that Heliga was the man who accompanied him as a master who did not hesitate to be jealous of even "Silver" in his words; And although Waji is just a gangster in the old city on the surface, in fact, his background and identity are not simple, but he has no clues to find out now.
"Silver's not a priority, is it?" Heliga patted Lloyd on the shoulder, "Anyway, despite all the problems, he's actually a professional killer hired by Black Moon after all...... His attitude, in fact, only represents the "Black Moon". "Black Moon" clearly wants to sabotage the auction this time, so that Speaker Harutman will lose face in front of the guests, and thus blame Marconi in charge of security, and use this method to suppress "Rubacher" - but this will definitely not reach the level of the Speaker's anger and desire to make "Rubacher" completely finished...... After all, "Rubacher" is still one of his best fighters in the current situation. β
ββ¦β¦ yes......" Lloyd quickly calmed down after Helliga said this, "so is it the 'bomb' at the auction site that Silver is talking about that is the key to all this?" β
"Hmm...... Although it cannot be ruled out that this is a cover-up, it is necessary to investigate. Heliga nodded, watching with satisfaction as Lloyd quickly calmed down, "Without further ado, let's go quickly." There were five of us...... In the limited time, it should still be possible to find a lot of useful information. β
