"Don't run! Stop right there!"
In the noisy market, a group of people chased after each other in the crowded crowd.
The one running in front was a thin old man. He looked like he had white hair, but his movements were not slow at all. He was like a fish that shuttled through the gaps of people. Three burly men were chasing after him. They looked mighty and powerful, but they were lagging behind because of the crowd.
With his familiarity with the market, the old man quickly slipped through the cracks and left the three people behind. In a few moments, he had left the market and turned into an empty alley.
"That was close!" The old man muttered to himself. Then, he leaned against the wall and panted heavily. It seemed that he was still a little exhausted.
"Over there!"
A rough voice came from behind.
He didn't need to turn around to know who it was. The old man leaned against the wall and pretended that he couldn't run. When the three people behind him saw this scene, they also slowed down their footsteps.
"Let's see where you can run to!"
The old man listened to their gradually slowing footsteps and silently spread his legs. He whistled in front of the three of them like a gust of wind and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
"Fuck!"
"If I catch him again, I definitely won't let him off!”
The three of them did not expect the old man to be so good at running. They hurriedly chased after him. However, when they turned the corner, the three of them smiled brightly.
A high wall suddenly appeared in front of them. The old man was blocked by the high wall and looked at them awkwardly.
"Run! Run again!"
After making sure that the old man could no longer escape, the three of them rubbed their palms and swaggered over.
"How dare you cheat me of my money!" The burly man said angrily.
"Big brother…Big brother, spare me! I promise I won't do it again!" The old man begged for mercy with a sad face.
The three of them shook their heads and ignored the old man's pleas. They had to vent their anger.
"As long as you let me go, I'll give you the best goods! They were all real! Really!" The old man took out a few chips and waved them around.
The three of them looked at each other and seemed to be whispering something. Just as the old man thought that the crisis was over, someone said,"We've already given you a chance. We won't do a second loss.”
"Don't, big brother!" The old man looked at them in panic, then threw a chip over and said,"You can try. They're all real. They're definitely not fake!”
Someone took the chip and loaded it into a cannon. He fired a shot at the stone in the corner of the wall and instantly shattered it.
The old man was so frightened by the sound of the cannon that he trembled and said,'Right? I said it's true!
The man nodded in satisfaction, then pointed the cannon at the old man and said,"It's true, but if we kill you, everything on you will be ours.”
The old man knelt down on the spot and kowtowed a few times. Then, he buried his head in the ground and shouted that he knew he was wrong.
Just as the man was about to fire the cannon, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand. A dagger flew out of nowhere and hit the back of his hand, causing blood to flow.
The three of them looked around and found a young girl in black tights standing on the high wall. She was holding a cold dagger in her hand.
Milo stood on the high wall and looked down at everything that was happening below. She did not expect Goslyn to have fallen to such a state.
"Who dares to provoke us!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the other two took out their weapons and fired at the wall where Milo was.
Milo leaped into the air and turned over, dodging all the attacks. Then, he landed lightly on the ground. Before the opponent opened fire again, he quickly rushed over the wall.
The three of them obviously didn't put Milo in their eyes. They were armed with guns, so why would they be afraid of a dagger? They fired another hail of bullets in Milo's direction.
The moment the bullet touched Milo, a large cloud of smoke exploded. The three of them instantly lost their target and shot at the smoke. Milo's true body was also faintly discernible in the fog like a ghost. With a cold flash, the weapons of the three fell to the ground, leaving a bloody wound on their hands.
"If you don't get lost, the dagger won't be in your hands next time!”
Milo's warning came from behind. The three of them had never seen such a powerful character before. They immediately fled in panic and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Milo walked up to Gosling. Gosling still had his head down. Although he had heard Milo's voice, he still didn't raise his head. An indescribable emotion rose in his heart. He had never thought that he would reunite with Milo in such an awkward way.
"Long time no see!" Milo said.
Yes, long time no see. Milo's voice was just like in his memory, and he would never forget it.
"They've already left. You're safe!”Milo said again.
Only then did Gosselin raise his head and stand up. His eyes avoided his gaze, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was still captured by Milo.
" It's you, Milo," Gosling said, pretending to be surprised.
When Milo heard the familiar voice, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she first joined the organization. She lived in the torture of nightmares every day, and it was Gosling's daily care that allowed her to overcome her fear.
Looking at Goslyn's down-and-out appearance, Milo could not blame him for a moment, even if he had deceived himself and everyone in the organization.
" I don't have any other intentions. I just want to ask you something," Milo said.
Goslyn's gaze returned to her and asked,"What made you come all the way to find me?”
Milo told Gosling about the series of phenomena she saw on Wei Guanqing, and then looked at Gosling expectantly, hoping to get an answer from him that would change her mind.
After a moment of silence, Goslyn said,"You should know how I left the organization, right?”
Milo nodded, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
" I did lie to everyone. There's no Oracle. It's just my own personal story. As for the person you're talking about, he should be from Tirste City, right?" Goslyn said.
Milo received Goslyn's answer. Although she had already foreseen this answer, she still inevitably fell into endless disappointment.
Milo took a deep breath, then nodded to Gosling and said,"I understand."
" I'm sorry, Milo..." Goslyn whispered.
Milo shook her head, as if she had rejected his apology. She looked up at the clear sky, as if the shackles that had been wrapped around her had been released, but she was not happy at all. Instead, she was even more disappointed.
"Then I'll be leaving. Take care."
Milo's figure disappeared around the corner, and Goslyn looked in the direction she left for a long time without looking away.
As night fell, the noise in the Ronin Market did not lessen at all.
The ancient-style restaurant facing the street was brightly lit, and the tables were filled with tourists from all major sectors. Everyone drank as much as they wanted, and while drinking, they could also enjoy the song that the singing girl was humming.
In the private room, Tucker was surrounded by a large group of girls.
Just as she was wondering why he had such a great charm, she heard a girl speak in a delicate voice.
"Hurry up and take out that good treasure for us sisters to see!”
Hearing this, the girls all started to cheer, saying that they wanted to see Tucker's treasure.
Tucker picked up the glass on the table and put it into the girl's mouth. The girl took a sip and then mouth-to-mouth sent it into Tucker's mouth.
Tucker smiled at the warm lips. He released the person in his arms and took out a small glass bottle under everyone's gaze.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the bottle in his hand. This bottle actually contained a red liquid!
"It's too beautiful!
"So beautiful!"
The girls praised in unison.
Hmph, you guys don't understand!" Tucker opened the bottle cap as he spoke. He dabbed his pinky on it and smeared it on the girl's lips, which immediately turned red.
"Me too! I want it too!" Seeing this, the girls asked for it at once.
"I'll give it to whoever makes me happy tonight. I'll give the whole bottle to her!”Tucker said generously.
When the girls heard this, they immediately started dancing and singing, all trying their best to win Tucker's favor.
"Hahaha!" Tucker's laughter echoed in the attic.
