Chapter 771 Bloodwing Family
The seemingly off-topic content ended abruptly
For some reason, Cole suddenly felt relieved, even though his husband had repeatedly emphasized The words just now were just casual chat, but his back was soaked with cold sweat for some reason that even he himself couldn't figure out.
"So."
Mo Tan took off his hood, and then took out his mask [Baicai] from his luggage, while kneading the special texture of his face. 'As he asked casually: "How is the investigation of the matter I assigned you before?"
Cole immediately looked solemn and said without thinking: "The results have been obtained. As you expected, the Bloodwing family does have a very secret hiding place. The location is under the Dark Night Church in the Prayer Area, and according to me After investigation, it seems that the Dark Night Church had colluded with the Bloodwing family a long time ago."
"Not detailed enough."
Mo Tan yawned and corrected lazily. Said: "Compared with what you call 'collusion', the word 'cooperation' is actually more accurate. After all, there are at least three high-ranking clergy in the dark night church of a decent size who are members of the Bloodwing family."
Colon's eyes widened: "This"
"It doesn't matter, I don't intend to blame you for the failure of the investigation. After all, from the time I handed this matter over to you until now, it's just a passing process. Just one day.”
Mo Tan comforted him casually, and then chuckled: "But now that the line of the Dark Night Sect has been found, you are indeed a little careless if you missed the internal staffing. You must know that this is the city of freedom, and blood seekers are not allowed to see you." It's better to abandon this mainstream consciousness as soon as possible. Even if you really take this nonsense seriously, you can't forget that the nature of the 'Dark Night Sect' is actually not much different from the former."
Cole lowered his head respectfully: "Yes, sir."
"Well, let's continue with the report."
Mo Tan picked his nose and half-heartedly motioned for Cole to continue.
“Well, in addition to what I just mentioned, I have also conducted some relatively superficial investigations through other methods.”
While organizing his words, Cole said carefully: "As far as I know, the Bloodwing family seems to have frequent contacts with the Kevos family, which is also a family of blood seekers, in the past few months, although on the surface it is just A kind of interaction with the same family that is relatively ordinary in nature, but it can be found from many details that the Bloodwing family is only as large as its own. The Kaivos family, which is less than one-third of its own body, has absolute initiative."
Mo Tan nodded slightly: "Yes, you investigated this aspect in detail because Leisha counted me among them. Is it because of a mistress?"
Cole shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, Actually, not really, but I have spent some time in the Kevos family before. Although I usually don’t get involved in any big things, I can still see something.”
“Well, that is. Said that you immediately thought of yourself after receiving the task of 'investigating whether the Bloodwing family hides any secrets' I asked you to deal with the Kevos family that I worked for before, and I paid close attention to the night when I asked you to deal with an older female housekeeper, and you got some results."
Mo Tan smiled approvingly and blinked. Said: "Yes, quick reaction and flexible mind have always been your greatest strengths."
Cole shook his head shyly: "It's all Mr.'s credit."
"Nonsense, you were not born by me."
Mo Tan grinned noncommittally and put his hands behind his back. Said: "So, do you have anything about the thing that the Bloodwing family hides underground in the Dark Night Sect? Did you find any clues?”
“I’m sorry, sir, there is no progress in this regard.”
In fact, we have found some clues, and we were ready to enter before we got Mo Tan’s password. After an in-depth investigation, Cole did not defend himself.
Mo Tan showed an expected smile and smiled: "It's normal. You have passed within the scope of your ability, but the difficulty behind it is indeed a bit high. Even if you were not suddenly called over by me today, It’s difficult to get more information without taking risks.”
Cole hung his head in shame and did not use what Mo Tan had just said as an excuse to comfort himself.
“Don’t think about it, my time is limited, and I can’t allow you to waste it like this.”
Mo Tan snapped his fingers to bring Cole, who had subconsciously entered a state of introspection, back to his senses. , and then said leisurely: "Speaking of which, I often ask you to do some useless work during this period. For example, if I ask you to investigate a force like the Bloodwing family, which I have basically beaten, what do you think, Cole?" Cole, who had also thought about this question, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally told the truth. Shi said: "I only know that it must be meaningful for you to ask me to do this."
"Well, I think you don't understand it at all."
Mo Tan twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Cole with some disgust: "Next time you are confused, just say you are confused, don't look for opportunities to Praise me, it's disgusting."
Cole nodded obediently: "Okay sir, I am indeed confused. Damn it."
"It doesn't matter, you will know later."
Mo Tan casually changed the topic, then weighed his hands and made a handsome face. [Hundred States], chuckled and asked: "Raphael Bloodwing, have you heard of this name?"
Cole shook his head.
"Well, it's normal that you didn't investigate. After all, although he has a high status within the Bloodwing family, he is not the type who likes to show off."
Mo Tan Covering his face with various expressions, he turned into a handsome, feminine, and pale-skinned (face only) young man in a blink of an eye: "I'll just tell you a brief story."
Raphael Bloodwing is one hundred and seventy years old this year. If you throw away the blood seeker blood, he looks like a completely human man. His mother is an ordinary human who has passed away long ago, and his father is the second in command of the Bloodwing family, who is the current Michael Bloodwing, the younger brother of the patriarch Lionel Marquis Bloodwing, is not a pure blood seeker, and his strength is limited to the level of a first-time high-ranking earl, but Raphael's status in the family is indeed a bit high. Not even low.
There is no other reason. This guy’s brain is really good.
As for how easy it is, let's put it this way. As early as nearly a hundred years ago, the Bloodwing family was just a blood-seeking family slightly larger than the Kevos family. Although they could barely make it in the Free City, They have built a den with an area of less than 500 square meters. However, compared with the locals who are also in the middle class, the Bloodwing family can only be regarded as the bottom in terms of strength, financial resources and influence. In difficult times, even He couldn't even afford good blood, and even if he could afford to hire servants, it was only because those applicants coveted blood seeker blood.
Although the head of the family, Lionel Bloodwing Marquis, is a strong man at the peak of the epic level and has the unique talent bonus of a blood seeker, he is still nothing in the Free City where masters abound. No, if you accidentally offend some big shot, your ashes will be raised in a matter of minutes.
All in all, the situation of the Bloodwing family nearly a hundred years ago was actually very bad. Even the overall strength of the Bloodwing family was not as good as theirs, the Kaivos family, who was also a member of the Bloodseeker group but had a wide range of connections.
Until more than eighty years ago, Raphael Bloodwing, who had always kept a distance from his family, returned to the family after his mother passed away, and after talking for a whole dinner with the current patriarch He was secretly appointed as the family consultant, responsible for all external affairs of the Bloodwing family, and his authority was even higher than that of his father, Michael Bloodwing!
And Raphael did not disappoint the contemporary Bloodwing Marquis who trusted him. In the first hundred years of his life, he managed almost all the middle and low-level jobs in the Free City. Having accumulated a large number of contacts, he only used In less than twenty years, the Bloodwing family has reached a cooperative relationship with the Dark Night Sect, the Thieves Guild, and a large number of small and medium-sized underground forces. Not only has it truly integrated into the city, but it has also developed smoothly. Its comprehensive strength He quickly rose from the bottom to the third-rate level.
What is the concept of third-rate forces in the Free City?
Leave aside those complicated matters and just talk about strength and financial resources. There are probably a dozen or twenty epic-level strong men who dominate the field, and the average annual gray/black income reaches about seven digits in gold coins. If you can't achieve this level, you will never be regarded as third-rate by others.
The Bloodwing Family did it!
In other words, Raphael Bloodwing, who worked hard after his mother passed away and wanted to win a future for himself, did it, despite countless ups and downs in the process, and despite the fact that the Bloodwing family has experienced at least Three underground wars that could lead to the destruction of the family, but perhaps because of his filial piety that he has never left his mother for nearly a hundred years and did not start developing his career until the old man passed away, God was moved by this handsome, rich and smart careerist. He actually helped the Bloodwing family!
Then he died.
"Huh?" Cole, who was listening to the history of Raphael's entrepreneurship with great interest, was stunned at that time. He reacted for a long time before his eyes widened in shock: "Dead?!"
Mo Tan nodded sadly: "Well, he's dead."
"How did he die?!"
"I killed him."
"Then it's okay."
Hearing that his husband was killed, Cole immediately regained his composure. All his previous sympathy for Raphael, who died before his ambition was fulfilled, was thrown away. In the back of my head, I accepted this reality naturally.
No matter what virtues you have accumulated or what crimes you have committed, since you were killed by your husband, at least your death is not unjust.
Then he remembered a certain civilian who was casually killed by Mr. in Pato City.
【Okay, even if you are wronged, it is not aggrieved.】
Then he thought of the muse from the Thieves Guild in Black Tower City who had been cheated out of hundreds of thousands and still had to be grateful to his husband and said he couldn't mess with him.
[Well, it’s not a pity even if it’s aggrieved]
Then he remembered that a certain mechanism had been used up, but before the comeback, the entire family was directly killed, and finally died in The Violet Lord in a remote wilderness.
[Even if it’s a pity, there’s nothing you can do about it, just consider yourself unlucky. 】
Cole sighed silently, feeling that he and Xiao Ai's luck was so good that there was nothing to say. When he thought about those poor people who tried to go against Mr. or were targeted by Mr., he felt sick all over. Chills.
[And there is a second person like this, my God! 】
Suddenly he remembered what Xiao Ai had said before, that he had briefly cooperated with Mr. in the Violet Empire, and it was said that he had a series of love-hate entanglements with him, a female mage named Futaba. , it is said that the lady is also a ruthless person. Although her skills are not as good as those of the gentleman, she has also driven many opponents and teammates crazy.
【This world is so big】
Cole couldn't help but feel deeply about his own insignificance.
"Anyway, the admirable Mr. Raphael made a deal with me in the last few hours of his life. Hey, boy, listen to what others say."
Mo Tan took off the Baishou, then took out a black board with a texture similar to frosted glass, and scratched it twice, making an indescribable horrifying sound, and instantly brought Cole back to his senses as if he was in a daze. Reality.
"Uh-huh. I'm sorry, sir!"
Cole covered his ears with one hand and his heart with the other, holding back the severe pain in his brain and asked tremblingly: " What kind of deal did you make with Mr. Raphael? "
Because he and his husband had a so-called 'deal', Cole was very concerned about this aspect.
“Ah, it’s a particularly fair deal.”
Mo Tan put away the small blackboard with a smile and said leisurely: "The content I hope he will fulfill is very simple, that is, briefly tell me about the situation of the Bloodwing family, including but not limited to the major events they are preparing recently, Akari Secrets behind the scenes, the list of industries that have been carefully disguised, the future development direction, etc."
Cole blinked: "Did he promise you?"
"Of course he did. Agree~"
"Huh? Why did he die?"
"Because giving him pleasure is my obligation in that transaction."
< br>
Mo Tan showed a harmless smile, then kicked open the manhole cover next to him, tilting his head at Cole: "Are you ready to embrace the exciting nightlife?"
The latter immediately He clenched his right hand and punched his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, sir!"
"Very good, follow me."
Thirty minutes later
< br>City of Freedom, Prayer Area, Beside a Flower Bed
"The route was chosen well. Not only were there almost no witnesses to see us, but we also avoided all places along the way that might have anything to do with the Bloodwing family."
Mo Tan glanced at Cole and chuckled. : "It's just that the time was delayed a little too much. Okay, no need to apologize. I know you have tried your best."
He waved his hand to Cole, who looked anxious, and then pointed his middle finger at Spotting the large church not far away, he asked casually: "You should have roughly grasped the specific location of the secret little base of the Bloodwing family, right?"
Cole nodded slightly. , replied in a low voice: "Yes, sir."
"If you were asked to formulate an infiltration plan that applies to you and me, how long would it be the shortest time?"
"Well, if I were to do it from now on, it would probably take..."
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes, let's get started."
"Ah what?"
"Nothing, you still have five minutes."
