95. Forced to hold hostage(1/2)

Fisher looked at the bounty hunters coming and going in the distance, and then focused on the muskets in their hands. There were at least a hundred of them there. A head-on conflict could easily increase the risk, and the gangsters who managed the black market were...

The gangsters at the foot of the Imperial City cannot be underestimated.

The battle between the two men above them had reached its climax. Even the bed board and the wooden board shook lightly and made a soft sound. Jasmine's ears cocked up a little, but she didn't look up after thinking of Fisher's instructions. She only relied on the sound in her mind.

Imagine what that would be like.

Are they... fighting?

Jasmine thought this way, and at the same time, the curiosity in her heart made her feel itchy like a cat tickling her. She wanted to see but didn't dare to see because of Fisher's words, so she had to concentrate on listening with her ears, and then used her imagination to make up for her vision.

When she didn't speak, Fisher didn't know what she was thinking. After thinking for a while, Fisher came up with a countermeasure. He turned his head slightly and was about to whisper a few words to Jasmine when he suddenly caught a glimpse of her two long

His ears drooped to the side of his face.

After a second of silence, he stretched out two fingers to pinch one of her soft ears, lifted it up, and then moved closer to her to say something.

"Chi..."

Jasmine's face turned slightly red and she made a sound like a small animal. Just when Fisher was about to let go of her ears, who knew that she took the initiative to move her head closer to him, as if to signal Fisher to speak.

Like children in a nursery whispering to each other, Fisher lowered his head and spoke softly, arranging the next plan, and then handed his cane to Jasmine.

After listening to Fisher's words, she hugged Fisher's cane tightly and nodded, as if "Leave it to me."

The rescue operation officially begins.

...

...

Wearing a hat and walking lightly, Anna crossed her arms and followed the gang leader in front of her into the artificially dug cave.

In the first half of the cave, there are many hunters resting on both sides. There are also gangsters guarding here, checking whether there are any uninvited guests. The real black market still has to go a long way inside.

As soon as Anna entered the cave, the bounty hunters and gangsters next to her were immediately grabbed by the lady who walked into the small space and couldn't move away.

Her skin was like cream, and her face was astonishingly beautiful, as alluring as an angel sent by the Mother Goddess to earth.

Many men swallowed their saliva. If sight could eat people, Anna didn't know how many times she had been eaten by those men.

As mentioned before, most bounty hunters are desperadoes with human lives on their backs. Of course, there are many who are forced to join this industry due to livelihood, but soon they will be dyed by this profession like a big dye vat.

Got to be pitch black.

Most of the real money made by bounty hunters is related to human life. For money, they can kill entire families who have no hatred against them, and exchange their dead heads for bounties.

If it weren't for the group of men behind Anna, they might have been planning to follow this lady and drag her to a deserted place to enjoy her.

Anna seemed to be completely used to the eager gazes of those men. Ignoring those disgusting and sticky gazes, she carried her small bag and walked neither fast nor slow.

Under the protection of her entourage, she quickly arrived at the real entrance of the black market, where tasks were assigned and bounties were collected.

Inside was an empty hall. It was late at night, but the firelight all around was still bright. There were voices everywhere, and it was also filled with the smell of men's sweat, blood, and alcohol.

Anna felt a little uncomfortable, so she gently covered her nose. Soon, a middle-aged man with a smile came up in front of them. The man was neatly dressed and was far from the traditional gangster image. He even had

Two carefully maintained mustaches stick out from his lips.

He walked up to Anna, looked at Anna with a smile and stretched out a hand.

"Good evening, Ms. Anna, I am Little John from the Vulture Party, and I am solely responsible for your order. I am very happy to meet such a beautiful lady like you on such a night."

Anna glanced at him, but didn't extend her hand to shake his hand. She just covered her mouth and nose, as if she didn't want to breathe the air here.

"I'm here to pick up the 'goods'. Where are they?"

Little John was not annoyed at all after being rejected. Instead, he naturally pointed his outstretched finger at his subordinates behind him and ordered rather dissatisfiedly,

"How are you doing this? Ms. Anna didn't arrange a separate room when she came. What's it like for the distinguished guest to stand here? Go and make arrangements! By the way, bring the 'goods' and the guys who completed the order."

His men responded repeatedly, and then ran deeper into the cave.

Anna glanced at Little John, but saw that his angry expression suddenly turned into an apologetic smile. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and led the way in a certain direction.

"I'm really sorry that you came suddenly and we were not prepared in advance... Please come over here. One of the 'cargoes' has been arrested, and the other two are injured and are still running away, but they shouldn't be able to go far... Actually, you

There is no need to come in such a hurry, he still has two companions who have not been caught, it is not too late to wait for them to catch them all before coming here."

"No need, let me see."

Little John chuckled in a low voice and stopped responding. He just led Anna to the door of a certain room in the cave.

After arriving at the place, he took out the key and opened the door, revealing a spacious room and a humanoid creature hanging in the middle by a chain.

The figure has a human-like face, but the hair is all dark red. There is a lobster-like carapace behind it. One hand is a plier, the other is a webbed human palm, and there is a hand behind it.

A huge shrimp tail curled up slightly.

His whole body was entangled with iron chains and he was injured. A little green blood dripped down the iron chains. He was now completely unconscious. It was the lobster-type demi-human that Fisher and the others wanted to rescue.

Lingjiu.

Beside the room, several men with fierce looks, holding cigarettes in their mouths and holding muskets were staring at Anna and his party who entered the room. They were the hunters who captured the demi-human at that time.

"Ding Ding, this is the ocean demi-human captured by the hunters. This is also the first time I have seen demi-humans on the bottom of the sea... We thought at the time that these ocean demi-humans were more ferocious than the dragon people in the southern continent. Next

During the mission, we specially found some hunters with strong hands-on skills, but fortunately they are just better at running away, hehe..."

"Do you want to pay the price for this one first and take it away, or do you want to wait until everyone is here and then pay together?"

Facing Little John's questioning words, Anna gestured to the men behind her, and a box was carried in front of everyone.

"One hundred and seventy thousand, I'm going to take this guy away now."

One hundred and fifty thousand is the price of this lobster demi-human, and the remaining twenty million is the publishing commission for the black market. Once the mission is successful, the black market will extract an equal amount of fees from the buyer and seller based on the unit price. Anna will pay an additional twenty thousand.

Ten thousand, and the bounty hunter will get twenty thousand less.

Little John took the box and took a look at the Nali gold coins filled with it. Then he closed the box with satisfaction and clapped his hands to the men behind him, signaling them to put down the demi-human.

"The Pink Pavilion is really spending a lot of money. Nario with 170,000 yuan can be so generous, and it's just for a single demi-human... Can I ask the reason? If Ms. Anna is willing to share some information, I

Fifty thousand Nario will be returned."

Anna directed her men to take away the lobster demihuman, and at the same time warned with a cold face,

"This is our business, don't meddle."

"I just want to make a little more money, but if you don't tell us, we won't ask. After all, we have already made enough from this order... Please note that we are not responsible for the goods once they are sold. The streets of Shetou are very long. Shengna

It’s not safe in Li, so please take good care of your goods.”

Anna glanced at the smiling Little John, and then directed the people in the Pink Hall to take the demi-human away.

Little John behind him smiled, waved to Anna who was leaving, and said,

"Go slowly, Ms. Anna! There are still two people outside who haven't been caught yet. We will catch them as soon as possible."

Anna followed the people from the Pink Pavilion out of the cave without replying to Little John. It was quite quiet outside the cave. Only by leaning on the street could one see the smoking gangsters, staring at every corner of the street with unkind expressions.

Near the end of Snakehead Street, there are not many people in the area controlled by gangs. Further forward, there are idle gangsters and drug addicts.

Anna ordered her men to throw the lobster demi-human in the carriage, and set up a protective magic to prevent the demi-human from being kidnapped or waking up and struggling to escape.

After confirming that there was no problem, Anna also held her skirt and got into the car, and said to the driver in front of her,

"Go back to the Pink Pavilion."

"yes."

As the carriage began to move slowly, Anna sat alone in the carriage, looking at the unconscious demi-human, her beautiful face expressionless, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Time passed slowly, and the carriage kept swaying because of the uneven ground on Shetou Street.

Just when the quiet driving time was about to end and the carriage was about to arrive at the entrance of Shetou Street, the driver in front seemed to have seen something and suddenly let out a shout,

"Get out of here!"

Anna frowned, and in the next moment, the entire carriage suddenly stopped, and the inertia moved Anna forward. Fortunately, she stretched out her hand to hold against the inside of the carriage in advance, so she did not fall down.

The horses roared because of the sudden pull on the reins. Anna's face was slightly cold. She opened the curtains of the carriage and looked outside. She saw a man in a cloak standing in the middle of the road, looking straight at the person in the middle of the road.

carriage.

Jasmine, who was wearing a cloak, slowly raised her hand, and in her hand she saw a cane covered by the cloak. As the cane was raised, Anna caught a glimpse of the illusory rays hidden in the darkness.

The threads are linear in sequence, and the spinner on the cane begins to bloom from the cane in her hand, linking to the street lights and buildings on both sides of the street.

Anna hadn't yet figured out what she was going to do with the Spinner, but she soon knew.

"Boom!"

Jasmine took a deep breath, frantically absorbing the surrounding gas like a vortex. A second later, when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with flowing black water.

She suddenly grabbed the cane in her hand and pulled. A huge force was transmitted along the spinner, tearing the street lamp and the wall of the building behind her into pieces, and then flew away from the ground or the building body in the direction of the carriage.

.

There were countless street lights behind the spinner, and the stones were dragged towards her direction by the small figure. The shocking scene was not only horrifying to the passers-by and people in the Pink Pavilion, but even those hiding in the dark.

Fisher, who was here, never thought that Jasmine was so strong.

He took a closer look and saw that the proud softness in front of the body covered by the cloak had shrunk again, indicating that Jasmine had entered a fighting state.
