10. Resentment and anger
The tall, thin man's name is Nathan.
Although he had already prepared to kill everyone present, he did not expect to be in this situation.
He thought that as long as he pretended to be a detective and used both soft and hard tactics, the other party would obediently call Jimmy out. By then, they would have plenty of ways to get what they wanted from his head.
Now it's just a twist on the process.
Ogden, a fat middle-aged man, is indeed a good swordsman. If an ordinary person were knocked out by him like this, he would be paralyzed even if he did not die.
But his companion Peter is not an ordinary person. Even if a large-caliber rifle is pressed against his chest, he will only take two steps back.
That little girl has an extraordinary status and can possess magic items, but as long as she does it cleanly, someone will naturally bear the wrath of the nobles on their behalf.
Unexpectedly, the mayor really failed to deal with them. The hunter he introduced to them for the first time was indeed quite capable and could tell that they were up to no good.
However, in the final analysis, he is just a mortal, and it is impossible for him to imagine that they exist beyond human beings.
Hevin pressed his chest and looked at Nathan in disbelief:
"Am I going to die? Ah..."
Nathan smiled proudly and said:
"The consequences of meddling in other people's business is to ruin your own life. Well, now it's time to clean up the scene. The murderer actually took advantage of the Ogden family of four and hunter Hevin to kill them while they were reporting on the party. The responsible detective was unfortunate
I arrived a little late. Then again, why did it take Peter so long?"
"Uh-huh, ah-ah." Hewen was still covering his chest and making various exaggerated expressions.
Nathan's smile gradually disappeared. He had already realized that it was impossible for ordinary people to be fine after being shot in the heart for so long.
"Are you kidding me?" Nathan said angrily.
"That's right." The witcher let go of his hand, took out the revolver from his arms, and a small metal ball fell out of his arms.
Nathan suddenly put away his anger and said with a smile:
"We are members of the White Lion Club. Maybe you and I can reach an agreement?"
It was Hewen's turn to be surprised. He had also heard about the illustrious reputation of the White Lion Club. It was said that elites from all walks of life and dignitaries in the kingdom were members of the White Lion Club. However, the White Lion Club was extremely mysterious and no one knew about them.
How members are selected, and no one knows why those people join the White Lion Club.
Some people say that the president of the White Lion Club has a mysterious power, which is why he has attracted so many people to join him.
In order to show friendship, Nathan took the initiative to take off his disguise.
The color of the skin all over his body was slowly fading away, and the elastic surface became cold and hard. The air instantly dropped several degrees, breaking the Nelly family's perception.
Nathan's entire body turned light blue, his skin was like a combination of ice and rock, and blue flames flashed in his eye sockets.
Hewen said doubtfully:
"I don't remember the frost giant subspecies having the ability to camouflage."
Nathan was stunned and said:
"Frost giant, what is that? I am the noble blue blood."
Hevin did not continue to talk nonsense, but aimed his revolver at Nathan.
Although Nathan was very confident in himself, his usual caution still made him jump to the side.
The bullet grazed his left arm, leaving a bloody mark.
Nathan looked around. Since Hevin was difficult to deal with, he would pick someone who was easy to attack.
This is the advantage of being a bad guy. You can use any despicable means and no one will find it strange.
Nathan glanced at Rebecca and Nelly and said, without concealing the threat in his tone:
"Hewen, do you want to continue fighting with me? If this continues, it is very likely that these two ladies will be hurt.
"And he will come back without my companions. Although the old man is more troublesome than I thought, Peter is a monster that even I am not willing to confront head-on."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of blue magical light erupted from the ground, and the arcane energy formed a semicircle wrapping the ground, surrounding Nelly, Rebecca and Jimmy.
Then, the light disappeared, and the three people surrounded disappeared.
Hewen said calmly:
"You can't cause fatal harm to anyone present at all, and this gun of mine is engraved with ancient incantations. As long as a bullet hits you, your soul will be devoured. You just felt it, that kind of
Fatal feeling."
When Nathan heard Hevin's words, he had to admit that what he said did make some sense. If the fight continued, he should be the one who died, but...
"If you are so confident, why do you still talk to me so much? In fact, you are not sure you can beat me."
"I just don't want to waste the time of rescuing Ogden. It's unlikely that you and your companions will reveal their identities in public. And what about you? Do you really want to risk your life just to kill an ordinary middle-aged man?
"As long as you let him let Ogden go now, I won't hunt you down immediately."
There was a bit of struggle in Nathan's eyes, and then he sneered and said:
"Very good, you won, but next time, you will regret your kindness today. We will not underestimate you next time."
After saying that, Nathan left the house.
After confirming their retreat, Hevin couldn't stop coughing and coughed up a pool of dark blood.
Ha La quickly ran over and looked at Hewen with worry and sadness:
"What’s wrong with you?"
Hewen wiped the corners of his mouth:
"It's okay, follow me now, let's go find Ogden together."
after an hour.
Hevin and Halla returned home, and the few people who had just disappeared were also here.
Nellie was comforting her grief-stricken mother at this time, while little Jimmy beside her had her lips tightly closed and said nothing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't find Ogden. I told the people in the town that he was missing and they are organizing a patrol."
Jimmy raised his head and stared at Hewen. At this time, his eyes no longer had the adoration and admiration of the past:
"Why don't you keep looking?"
Hala responded angrily:
"Hevin was injured, and he tried his best to find it."
Hevin waved his hand to interrupt Ha La and explained:
"If I continue to look for it, I will continue to look for it. I plan to try other methods."
Jimmy continued to stare at Hevin's face:
"Why did you stop me? Why didn't you save my father? If you had done nothing, maybe no one would have been hurt."
Nelly retorted:
"Not just Hewen, we will not let people of unknown origin put you in danger."
Hewen said
"I know who they are better than you. They will open your skull and see what secrets are hidden inside."
Jimmy said calmly:
"I was the one who died. Why did you let my father die for me? You are not a hero at all."
"That's enough!" Nellie shouted angrily, and she pushed Jimmy away. "It wasn't Hevin who hurt his father, it was those bad guys who hurt his father."
Jimmy suddenly realized that he didn't recognize the current Nelly. The sister who used to only gossip with her best friends all day now had eyes like a ferocious lion.
"Don't, give it to me, take your grievances out on those who won't hurt you, don't act like a coward." Nelly said word by word.
The girl showed her two canine teeth, and the look she looked at her brother no longer had the usual doting look in her eyes.
