Chapter 289 The Viscount’s Revenge
Peacock City.
A noble manor in the central area.
Viscount Harrington was strolling along the garden path. The lawns on both sides were kept very clean by gardeners. They were green, neat and beautiful.
Many busy servants stopped what they were doing and bowed to him after seeing the Viscount.
"Well, I know about this."
Viscount Harrington said calmly without looking back.
"Go and inform the housekeeper and the head maid that when Trier comes back, don't let her go out again."
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
Several bodyguards who followed closely behind him nodded in response, then turned and left.
They did not ask the Viscount how to deal with the young magician named Jack. Since the Viscount made no arrangements, there was no need for them to worry about it.
But judging from the Viscount's character, he probably wouldn't make that guy feel better.
Viscount Harrington continued walking forward, reaching deep into the backyard of the manor. He used the key to open an iron door and entered a small forest.
Beside him, there was only one bodyguard who followed him step by step.
This man was tall and burly, wearing a crisp black suit and a wide-brimmed hat, with his entire face hidden in a thick scarf. Even his hands were covered by leather gloves, leaving no trace of skin exposed.
He looked like he was suffering from some kind of skin disease, and his whole body was covered tightly.
Viscount Harrington and the tall bodyguard walked through the woods and walked to a two-story wooden house.
The wooden house looks a bit old, the exterior walls are dark brown, and the eaves are covered with various fungi and moss. In fact, the wooden house has always existed in this small forest as long as Viscount Harrington can remember. It seems to be left by his ancestors. He even often played here when he was a child.
Viscount Harrington pushed open the door of the wooden house and went straight to the second floor.
At this time, there were several figures sitting on old wooden chairs, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"What urgent matter do you have to come to my manor?"
Viscount Harrington frowned slightly and looked at the figures in the dim environment.
He didn't sit down, just stood at the top of the stairs.
The tall bodyguard was by his side, never leaving.
"Viscount Harrington, there is no other way... The next 'treasure hunt' is about to begin, but the 'treasure' in our hands is still a little short. We can't just make up for it, otherwise you and I The reputation that I have worked so hard to build will plummet. ”
said a figure sitting on a chair.
"The job of arresting people has always been the responsibility of the Lanfan Gang under you... Are they all raising a bunch of waste? Every time the goods are not enough!"
Viscount Harrington said coldly.
"Calm down, Viscount, since we are all doing business together, then if there is a problem, we must solve it together, what do you think?"
The figure smiled.
Viscount Harrington was silent for a few seconds and then asked:
"How long until the next auction?"
"Five days."
"Now the public security station in Peacock City has become alert, and has even alerted the upper-level shelter... It is difficult for me to collect enough goods in such a short time."
"We believe you can do it, Viscount. After all, in this Peacock City, who has as much power and status as you?"
The figure chuckled.
Viscount Harrington dismissed such an insincere compliment and just said categorically:
"I will find a way to make up for the missing goods, but I want to get 20% more of the proceeds from this auction... In addition, you can do me a small favor."
"Oh, 20% is too much, 10% at most."
Figures bargain.
"One and a half percent, no less."
said the viscount.
The figure pondered for a moment, then smiled again:
"Okay, okay, let's each take a step back... Then Viscount, what do you want us to help you with?"
"Help me teach a young man a lesson."
Viscount Harrington said coldly.
"Oh, Viscount, we don't need to take action in this kind of thing, right? Your bodyguards are completely capable, or can you spend a little money and let those idle guys on the street help you?"
The figure seemed a little surprised, thinking that Viscount Harrington was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"That young man is not an ordinary person. I suspect he is an extraordinary person."
Viscount Harrington said solemnly.
"My daughter Tracy has been very close to him recently. In order to avoid some family secrets and our affairs from being exposed, you'd better take action as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's really troublesome... I will let the people from the Lanfan Gang take action, and then send two brothers to hide in it. Regardless of whether that guy is a transcendent or not, he will definitely spend the rest of his life in a sanatorium."

evening.
After Chen Lun put Miss Tracy on the carriage, he returned to the winery.
It was not far from the winery, so he planned to walk back and observe the environment near the winery.
Walking along an upward path, the buildings on both sides gradually grew taller, and the light of the setting sun was blocked, making the whole street look a little dim.
At this time, Chen Lun suddenly felt something and turned around and walked into an alley.
After a few breaths, the faceless waiter from the Murder Club emerged from the spirit world.
"Good day, Mr. Qiao Ke."
"It's almost dark."
Chen Lun made a joke.
"Good night, Mr. Qiao Ke."
The faceless waiter held a tray in his hand and a clean white towel on his arm, and said respectfully.
Chen Lun shrugged, smiled and shook his head.
I secretly thought, are all the messengers from the spirit world so humorless?
"Who wrote to me?"
he asked bluntly.
"No, Mr. Qiao Ke... there is something else. Because you have been joining the Murder Club for some time and have passed the initial inspection period, the club decided to start commissioning services for you."
The faceless waiter handed the tray to Chen Lun with a thick menu on it.
"This is the latest issue of the 'Commission Menu'. If you need it, you can 'order' yourself and receive the commission... The specific content and rewards are described in detail above."
Chen Lun took the menu and opened it casually and took a few glances.
This is actually the list of commissions from the Murder Club. Without exception, they are all commissions about murder. As for the rewards, they are all kinds of extraordinary wines.
In fact, in the Murder Club, there is a "wine recycling office". If members need it, they can exchange the extraordinary wine they obtain into money, but the recycling price will be slightly lower than the market price.
‘Sell now and then, take orders online…? ’
Chen Lun chuckled lightly.
This was one of the reasons why he chose to join the Murder Club in the first place.
There are countless murder commissions for people to choose from, and the rewards are particularly generous.
The rewards mentioned here are not just commission rewards, but also corresponding task rewards. Because Chen Lun has the special characteristics of the player panel, after he accepts the commission, he will trigger the corresponding task on his own!
This is equivalent to doing one thing and getting two rewards.
‘The task library that can be selected at will is of great help to my upgrade career. ’
Chen Lun smiled.
However, on the commission menu, a small number of items have "level" requirements.
The members of the Murder Club have high and low strengths. In order to improve the efficiency of completing commissions, killer levels were created to distinguish and screen them.
It is divided into three levels: copper cup, silver cup and gold cup.
If the client has specific requirements, the corresponding killer level will be noted on the commission. If members want to receive higher rewards and more challenging commissions, they need to upgrade their killer level to obtain higher permissions.
Generally speaking, the standard for members to pass the assessment is the completion rate and number of previous commissions.
Chen Lun is now just the lowest level "Bronze Cup Killer".
"If Mr. Qiao Ke has selected it, he can write the corresponding order number on a slip of paper through the 'black box' and put it in, so that the club will take the order for you and lock it... until you complete the order or die due to the order. ”
The faceless waiter explained patiently.
"Okay, I get it."
Chen Lun nodded and put the menu in his hand into the blood poem ring.
At this time.
There was a sound of dense footsteps.
Chen Lun turned around and looked around and found that both ends of the alley were blocked by a group of people.
"That's it! Magician Jack from the City Garden Theater!"
"Go! Don't let him escape!"
The group of people said this, took out knives, daggers and iron rods, and rushed towards Chen Lun.
Chen Lun showed a strange expression.
There was mist in his eyes, and he quickly saw where these people were coming from.
‘Blue Sail Gang? Are there two assassins from the Black Knife Brotherhood hiding among them? ’
At this time, the faceless waiter turned his head and asked Chen Lun for advice:
"Mr. Qiao Ke, do you need me to help you solve your trouble?"
Chen Lun took out two gold pounds and put them on the waiter's tray with a smile.
"Thank you. I'm in a hurry to go home, so I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, he walked out of the alley with his silver cane, completely ignoring the dozen thugs rushing towards him.
This group of people smiled ferociously and had already raised the murderous weapons in their hands.
But the next second, they seemed to see something terrible, and suddenly became panicked.
"Monsters! There are monsters!"
"Ah! A faceless monster!"
The faceless waiter gracefully appeared in front of the group of people, holding the tray steadily with one hand and waving the other hand quickly, slicing their necks or piercing their hearts with ease and ease.
Blood sprayed on the old wall, and screams echoed in the alleys.
The two extraordinary men of the Black Knife Brotherhood were taken aback and tried to turn around and escape, but were soon caught up by the Faceless Waiter and dragged the two back to the alley with one hand.
There was no fierce battle. The two were nothing more than [Sequence 9-Thieves], and they soon died at the hands of the faceless waiter.
Chen Lun left without looking back.
He ignored the noises and curious passers-by approaching the alley, passing them by.
But he was thinking about who sent those thugs just now.
‘Simon family? Or Viscount Harrington? ’
These two are the most suspect.
Hoyle's two brothers were driven crazy by him, and the Simon family would definitely hate him, but only if they knew it was Chen Lun who did it.
As the daughter of Viscount Harrington, Miss Tracy has a noble status. Dating a "lowly" circus magician like herself will definitely offend her father.
As for the little people in Kewei, Chen Lun didn't think they had such energy.
‘When you are in doubt, use cards for divination. ’
Chen Lun chuckled and confirmed "Simon Family" and "Viscount Harrington" respectively.
Eventually, the latter’s “king” card emerged.
'It turns out that you, Viscount Harrington... are not only related to the Blue Sail Gang, but also to the Black Knife Brotherhood. ’
Chen Lun showed a smile.
He pulled on the brim of his hat and slowly disappeared into the street. (End of chapter)
