Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 213 Investors

"Then listen carefully," Adele closed the cover of the notebook, stretched out a hand to hold one of the men's chin, and lifted his face up. "From today on, I am the new leader of the Esco family. You guys should remember my face and explain it clearly to the guys under you. Do you understand?"

Seeing the gangsters nodding one after another, Adele smiled with satisfaction, then she resolved the dream, went to the counter, took the black leather diary, and sat on a chair waiting for the gangsters to wake up.

The more Adele flipped through the notebook, the more she was surprised by the power of the Esco family. Although their management of most of their businesses tended to be chaotic and disorderly, and the upper level's control over the lower level was not so absolute, the scope of control of this abnormal management method was abnormally large.

The projects run by the Esco family even include education. There are two gang schools in Porto Indo, which are specifically used to enroll children whose parents are gang members to receive education and teach them that the gang business is the correct values. There is even a set of teaching materials written by the gang members themselves.

However, before the first batch of students graduated, the local snake of the Esco family was overthrown by the powerful outsider, the Tarot Club. Today was the day when the Esco family called a meeting of all the leaders because of the defeat last night. The damage caused by Frank's plants was devastating.

……

On the other side, on the train to Constantine, Lolota, wearing a black formal suit of a night watchman, pulled a small stool and stood guard outside the private box of the Earl of Eastchester's house.

Not long after, Britten, wearing a tuxedo and carrying a violin bag, came over from the other end of the train and said to Lorota in a serious tone, "The rear carriage has been confirmed. There is no problem. The train will start in five minutes."

"To be honest, I don't think you have recovered to the point where you can accept normal tasks." Lolota said worriedly as she looked at the bandage vaguely showing on Britton's cuffs.

"So I'm applying to take on this protection mission and go to the Jianhai area to recuperate."

Britton smiled, looking a little tired. "If you must say, your injury hasn't healed yet, right?"

Luo Luota remained silent, but subconsciously reached out and pressed her side abdomen, and felt a slight burning pain from the wound that had not yet healed.

In the disaster that Backlund had just experienced, Britton and Lolota, as elite Nighthawks, were ambushed by four demon sub-bodies while evacuating the people. They were seriously injured before they wiped out all the enemies.

Even though these sub-demons didn't perform well against Sister Vesper, since they can be called demons, they must be at least Sequence 6, with the powerful abilities of danger premonition and demonization. In a skirmish, it takes at least a team of Nighthawks to kill a demon. If it weren't for the Level 2 seal that Britton carried with him, it would be another matter whether the two could survive.

Neither the Psychic nor the Requiem Master were Extraordinary Beings known for their physical strength. Even though the previous paths of the Corpse Collector and the Bard had been strengthened in this regard, more than twenty days had only allowed them to regain their ability to move.

"The Nighthawks are a little short-handed now," Britton sighed. "In the recent disaster, we lost at least twenty outstanding teammates, which is close to one-tenth of the Nighthawks' manpower in Backlund. Excluding those guarding the Chanis Gate whose injuries have not yet healed, if it weren't for the Blood Clan Beyonders of the Church of the Mother Earth taking over some of the work, we would really be too busy to handle it."

"May the goddess bless them."

Luo Luota was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand and tapped his chest four times.

"Praise the goddess." Britton immediately returned the greeting. Lolota turned around, opened the door and walked into the box. Britton sat down in her seat.

"Miss Hall, the train is leaving soon. We estimate that we will arrive in Constance in a day."

Lolota walked into the box and saluted to the noble girl in a black whalebone dress sitting in front of the window.

She looked a little different from the last time I saw her as a bodyguard for Earl Hall's New Year's party. She seemed more haggard?

Luo Luota thought with some uncertainty.

"Okay, thank you for your help." The other party nodded slightly and continued to look out the window.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Luo Luota bowed again, walked to the other side of the carriage, found a seat at the door and sat down.

However, at the moment when Lolota turned to leave, something like a snake crawled out from her shadow and docilely coiled at Miss Hall's feet. As soon as the girl in the black dress stretched out her hand, the snake made of shadow climbed up her arm along her white fingers and lowered its head in front of her.

Then, Miss Hall opened her mouth and bit the black shadow snake, tearing its skin and flesh. The black shadow splashed everywhere like blood, fell on the table illuminated by the sun, and disappeared like ice and snow melting.

Although Miss Hall ate very elegantly, and her appearance was not diminished by her haggard state, it was this strange behavior performed in an elegant posture that was the most evil and terrifying.

In less than ten seconds, Miss Hall swallowed the snake made of shadow clean, making her delicate face like a porcelain doll have a bit more color and no longer look pale like a living person.

Then she whispered slowly, as if she had received some kind of message.

"Adele Searcy has already taken initial control of the gang group in Port Indor, and Royce Hampton has been shocked. In addition, he said that if his superiors ask, he will reveal your information."

After saying this in a mechanical tone, Miss Hall's expression returned to normal.

"It's all as expected. It's okay." Miss Hall exhaled lightly and a tired smile appeared on her face.

Although the Esco family grew very rapidly with the support of the Psychological Alchemy Society, in fact, their growth was inseparable from the tacit approval of the Church of the God of War. Frank was powerful enough to directly wipe out all the core members of the gang with those bacteria, but couldn't Royce Hampton do it?

Not to mention that there are less than a hundred low- and mid-sequence wild Beyonders. Considering Sister Vespe's performance, even if those low-sequence Beyonders were multiplied tenfold, they would not be a match for the Demigod-level Archbishop of the Church of the God of War.

"Those guys are really pathetic. They actually dared to gather together to fight against the official Beyonders, and even thought that ordinary people could rebel against the Beyonders of the church... In fact, the Church of the God of War just felt that it might cause a backlash if they, the initiators of the war, were to rebuild the post-war order themselves, so they just asked them to help as volunteers first."
