Chapter 84 Temporary Cooperation
"Stay away, kids. Stop getting closer."
Quinn stood out from behind the wall, pressed her right hand on the gun bag around her waist, looking ready to go.
Ed knew it was to protect himself: Quinn had never seen Tia before, and was not sure about his sibling relationship with Tia. In her opinion, this was a very threatening move.
"Fuck, I remember this bitch! Andro died at her hands."
Quinn's appearance caused a commotion. The man Tia called "Drake" scolded and walked out of the cover. His face was covered with a square scarf, and there was a bullet mark on his right eye, and a fierce light flashed.
"Then come on, try it. You will see him soon." Quinn sneered, not to be outdone.
“There’s one thing.”
Tia seemed to turn a blind eye to the tense situation in front of her. She picked up the one-eyed spider from the ground and threw an arc to Ed:
"We cleared the area. There were only two people, one of whom was not an extraordinary person."
Including the three people who were solved before, there were only five in total? Looking at the one-eyed spider in the air, a ray of thought flashed through Ed's mind:
In other words, the Nirvana Sect has almost no substantial combat power in the East District.
Then the Nirvana Clan is very likely to have noticed Holland's betrayal - after all, it is extremely suspicious that the members have lost contact. They have done a back-up response.
But the other party did not choose to ignite all the emperor's blood in his hands immediately, causing the underground collapse to drag the entire Yinwu City to bury. He was also sure that the other party could not transfer these emperor's blood through the harbor or airport under the eyes of the Shenji Bureau.
Therefore, the leading elder Isek must have some confidence in dragging time until dusk and successfully performing the Nirvana ritual.
Ed caught the thrown one-eyed spider and checked it out: two of the appendages were damaged and the shell was loose due to the impact of the warhead.
This is not too serious damage, and he had already made a plan for this situation: a set of spare vulnerable parts and multi-function screwdrivers were hidden in the inner bag of the coat.
"Those jars have been removed, right?" he asked.
"Absolutely. The jar was left in place, but the fuel inside was transferred."
Tia nodded, still wearing the wide golden-brown hooded cape, hiding most of her body under the fabric.
"Maybe we can reach a cooperation-"
In the other passage, Mr. Eaton slowly walked out of the shadows, apparently hearing their conversation:
"Those things are a major threat to the safety of Yinwu City. The Shenshu Bureau can release some detained woodcutters and fishermen and internal staff, or make other concessions. But the 'Emperor's Blood' must be completely recycled."
"Why do we have to cooperate with the crow?" Drake roared to Tia, his words full of reluctance.
"Because our numbers have an absolute advantage." Eaton took off the bird's beak mask and smiled, "And you don't have 'Emperor's blood' in your hands."
“Together we can maintain the peace of the city.”
Tia answered frankly. She turned around, took off her hood and mask, and bowed politely:
"Can I trust you, Mr. Eaton?"
"No. But I will keep my promise."
...
The underground world corridor is crisscrossing, with dim light, like a deep maze.
"How long will it take to go? Baby, my legs are almost broken when I walk."
Shiraya slowed down and walked to the back of the team and complained to Ed.
"Stop complaining, look at the anvil and the sea monster dragging such a big piece of iron shell without saying anything."
Ed said while using the one-eyed spider to observe the road conditions. He had just taken advantage of the time to clear the roadblocks and replaced the one-eyed spider with a new part.
Due to the strange aura of the Emperor's Blood, Quinn can use the scent trace to lock the whereabouts of the Nirvana Cult. However, it is not easy to move in the rat path. The team often has to stop and eliminate traps and landslides, or simply take a detour.
"We've almost gone for almost 4 hours, and it's already lunch time." Shiraya swallowed, "I want to eat the meat pie made by Big Fat Pig Bowdy."
"Think about it, the scorched golden pie crust is wrapped in the overflowing red-brown meat filling, and the gravy is dripping along the cut surface, and the hot aroma is everywhere..."
"Stop talking nonsense, sissy!" Tiejian cursed, "If I hear you whispering behind me, I will pull out your intestines and make it a large intestine prickly for you to eat."
Shiraya immediately closed his mouth. Drake, who was scar-eyed, came over and showed his dirty big gold teeth and sneered in a low voice:
"What, did your mom make you a sandwich before you left?"
"A friend reminds you one thing, man. If an archer can pull a 400-pound longbow, he can beat you up even if he doesn't eat, do you understand?" Shiraisha immediately retorted.
"Okay, I know we have prejudices with each other, but now is not the time to argue." Ed sighed.
"You are Lord Tia's brother?"
The only good eyes left by Scar Eye looked over, and the voice became a little lower, and he whispered.
Ed didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
"I have been disrespectful and disrespectful. I have offended me so much just now, don't take it to my heart."
"Is Tia's status high in you?" he asked in an equally faint voice.
"It's not just Gao. She is neither the fork party nor the axe party. At best, she is a marginal bounty hunter, but her grandmother trusts and loves her very much. Some people speculate that she is the biological daughter of her grandmother."
"Grandma's biological daughter, then she will become your mother." Shiraisha interrupted.
Where is this?... Ed curled his lips and laughed awkwardly. He probably never saw his grandmother himself before. The old lady has no elf bloodline:
"Maybe your grandmother intends to develop a successor with outstanding abilities?"
"Then I think it's so bad. Although she can fight and manage her subordinates, she is not cruel enough. Whether it's underworld or white, she must be cruel enough to achieve great things."
Perhaps because he knew that he would not have any interaction with the two, Drake didn't have much concern about speaking:
"By the way, what is this Nirvana ritual? It can actually burn Yinwu City to ashes."
