Chapter 320 Mud Monster Gang
The larger the city, the larger the drainage system will naturally be.
While the sewers of most cities harbor filth in a literal sense, they also harbor filth in another sense.
For example, some less legal transactions.
These gray or even black industries must not be placed on the street. The wide and complex sewers have become excellent hiding places.
At first, it might just be a few people getting together, but it gradually developed into a gang, conducting business such as hallucinogens, smuggling, and black casinos.
Although the official is also investigating, there are so many involved and the complexity of the sewers that most of the time they can't be seen, as long as it doesn't go too far.
These gangs are also quite knowledgeable. If you don’t go underground, I won’t go up there either.
When the Demonic Kingdom of Subia occupied Kaimen City, these gang members stayed honest for a few months. Although they didn't care who was ruling, it would be bad if the new officials took office and they were burned.
Until recently, when the situation seemed to have stabilized a lot, various gangs began to conduct tentative activities, and the Mud Monster Gang was one of them.
Mud monsters are monsters with very different upper and lower limits. The weak ones can be easily destroyed by ordinary people with sticks, while the strong ones can even make dragons stumble.
There is no deep reason for calling them the Mud Monster Gang, it's more like a self-mockery. After all, these people, like the Mud Monsters, can only live hiding in the sewers.
Originally, the gang issue had nothing to do with Aldai and the others, but since it involved the plan to attack the open city, they had to take a trip.
The Mud Monster Gang is a new gang that has only appeared in the past ten years. The location is not difficult to find. It is relatively close to the surface of the sewer.
Passing through a long pipeline, the place has been abandoned due to the diversion of the waterway, and is relatively dry.
Continue walking forward and reach the other end of the pipe. You can see a huge abandoned reservoir. There has been an obvious collapse on the edge of the pond, but the lit torches indicate that there are traces of someone haunting this place.
Almost at the same time that everyone walked into the reservoir, rows of figures holding crossbows appeared on the left and right sides.
The terrain is very unfavorable for those who come in, and it is tantamount to being looked down upon.
However, the opponent did not intend to start a direct war. In the darkness of the cave formed by the collapse of the reservoir, there was a sound of footsteps.
Someone clapped his hands gently and walked slowly into the light: "Melanie, my dear, is there any good thing in bringing so many people to me?"
He is a gray-skinned tiefling, with scarlet pupils shining in the dark. He is dressed more like a cowherd in a shop, with an exaggerated gorgeousness.
"Stop talking nonsense, you captured my man!"
The other party just asked knowingly, and chuckled upon hearing this: "Your person? She owes me money, and I have all the IOUs. If she doesn't pay back, I will naturally have to make up for the loss."
"Don't think I don't know your tricks, how many innocent girls have been sold by your gang!"
"But I'm sorry, you are not a public official now and cannot call the guards to arrest me."
Melanie squinted her eyes. Although her vampire eyes did not have the magic power of her ancestors, they were still frightening.
"I just want the person to come back intact today."
"Oh, are you so heartless? I think we should sit down and have a chat."
The way he looked around made Melanie feel something was wrong, and she said in a deep voice:
"Dray, what do you want?".
"Since you want to trade, no problem, I like trading."
Delai clasped his palms together, rubbed his hands, and said like a businessman: "That halfling owes me a thousand gold coins. For your sake, I won't ask for interest."
"Okay, but I need to see the person first." Now Dray was a little surprised. He said one thousand gold coins because he knew Melanie couldn't afford such a lot of money.
But if he goes back on the deal he just made, no one from the nearby gangs will be willing to deal with the Mud Monster Gang.
So Derai clapped his hands, and immediately someone appeared above the reservoir carrying a female halfling almost like a little chicken.
She was wearing a black and white maid outfit. Since the halfling was only half a person tall, she looked more like a legal lolita wearing a maid outfit and cosplaying.
The man seemed uninjured, but was in a coma and was trapped by a hemp rope.
“You’ve seen it man, where is my money?”
Melanie didn't mention the money at all, but instead said:
"As you know, she is the maid in the castle."
"You think I'm going to back down?"
Derai sneered: "I'm not afraid even if I get in front of the Lord of the City. The law doesn't stipulate that debt collection is not allowed. Oh yes, the laws of Subia Demon Kingdom should be enforced now."
By bringing this up in front of former government officials, DeLay was sincerely trying to irritate Melanie.
Melanie was indeed about to have an attack, but at this time Reina stopped her.
"You're still the same. Every conversation makes you want to punch you in the face."
Lena took off her hood, revealing her true face.
Dray's eyes immediately widened when he saw this, and then the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Oh! Isn't this Rena, my dear, we haven't seen each other in ten years!"
"I remember I broke your nose last time we met, but it seems you're recovering well."
"That's all over now. I found someone to fix it for me, and the bridge of my nose became straighter."
His tone made it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and his eyes were rolling in his eyes, as if he was sizing up Reina, or planning where to strike.
"My dear, look at you, you are so beautiful. I heard that you went to Qihang City to develop. I thought you would come back with scars all over your body, at least a few fingers missing."
"The gangs in Qihang City are much more honest than you."
"Oh, of course, I'm a bad man."
Dray took out a small notebook and wrote down something, and then said: "For the sake of my old friend, 1,500 gold coins, even one coin less will not be enough."
As expected, he was still angry. Reina had robbed his smuggling business, and that batch of goods was worth about five hundred gold coins. This time, she planned to get them back together.
"Impossible, I won't pay a penny. You have two choices, either let him go, or let me beat him up and then let him go."
"Rena, my dear Reina, you also understand the rules of our industry. If anyone can ask for anyone they want, how will our brothers make ends meet in the future? I would rather roast that little halfling and eat it. It will be given to you in good condition.”
"Halflings don't actually taste good when cooked."
Before Reina could speak, Renya, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly interrupted:
"Halfling meat is relatively tender and will age easily if roasted for a while. I prefer low-temperature aging to retain the tender and juicy texture. However, you need to remove their feet before eating. These guys don't like to wear shoes. There is thick dead skin and hair, which affects the appetite too much.”
Listening to this, it feels like she has eaten it before...
