Chapter 942 173. Gray Gloves
The city guards who broke into Xianyu Street caused a chaos and almost clashed with the gang members guarding the street.
Fortunately, they remembered Francois's reminder not to cause trouble and did not stop him - even they couldn't stop him.
Spencer, surrounded by his men, came to the front of the big house and saw the people hurried back, staring at Francois: "Are you their leader?"
"I am. .”
Spencer waved his hand and told the people around him to move away, with a playful tone: "You Liberty City people are so brave, you actually went to Star City to recruit"
"I don't know what you are talking about." Francois looked calm.
“You don’t know?” Spencer slowly walked around Francois, “You suddenly appeared in Star City and did these things...”
“I Just a passing noble."
"Fart!" Spencer suddenly yelled, and the city guards who followed him raised their weapons.
The gang members realized it later and nervously confronted them.
Spencer walked back to Francois: "Why would you give money and food to these civilians if you are not from Free City!"
Francois was speechless. right. Was it because of a "good deed" that he was exposed?
He calmly glanced at the city guards brought by Spencer. Their equipment was not well-equipped, and their old leather armor showed signs of repair, but the gang members on his side were even worse... His sudden attack should be able to control the casualties within a certain range, but the real trouble is the disappearance of a city guard officer, which will soon lead to an investigation by Xing'er City.
You should learn how to disguise yourself from Dina before setting off, even if you bring a few magic scrolls of transformation...
Francois's silence was regarded as fear by Spencer. At this time, he suddenly lowered his voice: "You don't want your identity to be exposed..."
"What?"
Francois raised his eyes.
Spencer gestured with his fingers on his chest: "If you are willing to pay something, maybe I am willing to keep your secret..."
"You want money?"
Is he just here for blackmail?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Spencer shook his finger and made a tsk sound. "It's too ugly to say that. I prefer to call it, a ransom payment given by a noble to himself. Nobles have immunity from war. , isn’t it?”
Francois gave up the idea of killing the city guard here. He and Annan agreed on this point: problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
He still has some money. Although it is reserved for buying supplies, the residents should be able to survive for a while by catching rats.
Francois does not doubt Spencer's integrity. After all, he could have done it first and then searched the body...
"Okay, I'll give you the 'ransom fee', but you can't stop me anymore..."
Spencer showed a smile that looked very familiar to Francois and patted him on the shoulder. , took the initiative to walk towards the big house.
Francois followed, took out his money bag and threw it to him.
Spencer weighed his money bag and walked out with a satisfied smile: "I will come again tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Spencer looked back in surprise: "You don't think that for fifty gold coins you want me to keep your secret for the rest of your life, do you? Look at this place, what a warm place it is, it would be a pity if it was destroyed."
< br>The undisguised threat made Francois's eyes turn cold.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Spencer didn’t care at all, “I know what you are thinking, but if I were you, I would never take action against a city guard officer who appears in the city lord’s mansion every day… …”
“Fifty gold coins a day is already very cheap, right?”
Spencer left with the city guards, leaving a place where you look for help. Public.
"It's okay, continue with your business." Francois said, looking at their retreating figures.
It seemed that he had suffered a big loss, but Spencer's performance made Francois suddenly feel ambitious... Mobilizing the masses is certainly useful, but it is too slow. If officials and nobles can be won over... The blade of freedom will not be water without a source or a tree without roots.
......
Nur followed Spencer back to the station and finally found a chance to get in front of him: "Sir Spencer..."
"Why are you still here? Oh..." Spencer seemed to remember something afterward, opened the drawer, took out a silver coin and threw it to Noor.
"You did a good job, this is for you."
Nur smiled stiffly, and it cost him 1 silver coin to bribe the doorman to come in!
He regained his flattering smile and said: "Sir Spencer, you also know how expensive things are outside..."
"You are right, you deserve this. "Spencer tossed another silver coin.
Nour's mouth twitched as he held two silver coins. He couldn't open his mouth to ask for more, so he had to take the opportunity to ask: "Sir Spencer, I have wanted to follow you for a long time..."
"It depends on your performance. "
Spencer yawned, and Noor said wisely: "Then I'll go back first."
Spencer looked. He led Noor out, stretched out his palm to the cronies standing outside the door, and crossed it in front of his throat.
The knowing henchman followed Noor away who was still immersed in joy.
Spencer sat back in his chair and rested his legs on the table.
He doesn't hate greedy people, but guys who are as greedy as himself would be better off dead.
……
Francois didn’t have much time to waste.
The money in his hand was only enough to pay the ransom for one day, and it was impossible to earn this money by relying on Xianyu Street. He simply kept only two days' money and used the rest to exchange for supplies.
The reward was that he successfully controlled three streets on the third day after sneaking into Xing'er City and expanded the "Salted Fish Gang" members to 300 people. The price was that he ran out of money.
On the fourth day, Spencer sent someone to the "Salted Fish House" to deliver a letter.
[The magnanimous Spencer knows that you have no money, and he allows you to do one thing to compensate for the money. Don’t ask why, tools don’t ask questions, you just need to do it. 】
Attach a name and address to the back of the letter.
"Who knows who Herman is?"
Lame Babu doesn't know either. Instead, Little Small knows about Herman, saying that he is the captain of the city guard and is favored to be the city guard officer. New candidate.
So it seems that Spencer used himself as a Gray Glove to deal with his enemies?
It's not impossible... There are not many good people among the nobles of the Kingdom of Ruikan, and Herman is a businessman who secretly buys and sells people. There is no burden to kill him. Francois also easily solved a few Accomplice, free.
Hermann's property also allowed Francois to make a small fortune and buy more supplies to support an increasing population.
On the second day, Francois observed that Spencer certainly would not care about the death of his enemy. He only said that he was a group of wandering bandits who had caught a few scapegoats.
The cooperation between Francois and Spencer gradually stabilized. When he had money, he would buy supplies, and when he had no money, he would make money by doing dirty work for Spencer.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Free Blade is getting stronger day by day.
On the tenth day when Francois came to Star City, Spencer killed all his enemies.
When the prey is gone, the hunting dogs are useless...
