Chapter 105 The Money-Giving Hermit, Chen Kong [Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets]

In the real world, there are 13 stations.

'Wow! When did prison become so reassuring? He's got maximum boyfriend potential!'

'Something's not right, absolutely not right. Is this really the same insecure and cowardly prison guard I know? How did he suddenly become so reliable?'

They say girls change a lot as they grow up, but I feel like boys change a lot too!

Amidst the explosive barrage of comments from the anime audience.

Chen Kong led Vivian and Bertrand to the kitchen of the Rusty Nail Bar.

"Let me introduce myself, Your Excellency, the noble Silver Knight of the Upper City."

"After all, if I'm not mistaken, it's not something particularly important."

"A bald eagle like you, which only appears in clear skies, would never suddenly come to our smog-filled, muddy hellish city."

Although no star energy fluctuations could be sensed from Chen Kong.

But he was completely at ease when facing those gang members with guns.

It still made her feel quite threatened by Chen Kong.

This shows that Chen Kong has the confidence to be fearless of his opponent.

Although Vivian is not yet clear about the source of Chen Kong's confidence.

But she trusted her intuition.

And so, in response to Chen Kong's question.

She ultimately chose to be partially honest, saying what she could say.

"The church has lost something very important, and according to our investigation, it should now be hidden in the Rusty Iron Zone."

"What does this have to do with the guy next to you?"

Hearing Chen Kong mention himself.

Bertrand, who already vaguely understood what had happened, immediately spoke up: "I know, I know, because I recently helped a group of people smuggle themselves from the Upper City to the Rusty Iron District."

"But I swear I really didn't know they stole anything from the church!"

"If I had known, I would definitely have..."

"Stop it, stop it."

Bertrand was not allowed to continue his nonsense.

Chen Kong immediately lowered his head and began to think, as if he was weighing something.

A moment later, he looked up at Vivian, frowned, and said, "Miss Knight, if what you say is true, then this matter is a bit difficult to handle."

"How to say?"

In response to Vivian's curious question.

Chen Kong explained, "If what you're looking for is in District 12, where our Rusty Nail Bar is located, then this is easy to handle."

"The problem is that what you're looking for isn't here."

Are other areas dangerous?

This was my first time visiting the Lower City area.

Therefore, Vivian was unaware of the situation here.

"It's not about whether it's dangerous or not, but rather that the situation will become very complicated and difficult to explain."

"Never mind, let the guy next to you do it."

"After all, he should realize by now that you are his lifeline."

"So I guess no matter what you ask him, he'll tell you the truth, so I won't have to say anything more."

Vivian turned to look at Bertrand.

The other party was nodding frantically.

This implies that he is absolutely open and honest in speaking his mind.

Soon, with Bertrand's explanation...

Vivian finally understood why Chen Kong said that if what she was looking for wasn't in District 12.

Things will become very complicated.

First, the entire Rust Iron Zone is divided into 12 zones.

The Rusty Nail Bar is located in District 12, which is recognized as the safest area in the entire Rusty Iron District.

No one would easily commit a crime here.

Keep everything simple.

Therefore, if the item is in zone 12.

Vivian only needs to offer Old Jack, the owner of the Rusty Nail Bar, a suitable price.

Finding the items for her was just a matter of a word from Old Jack; it wasn't a big deal.

But what if the item isn't in Zone 12?

That would be a very serious matter.

Because the Rusty District is currently experiencing an unprecedented war. The Gray Rat Gang, the Blood Skull, and the Brotherhood of Steel—the three major gangs of Rusty Hell.

They are currently locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle for control of the Rust Iron District.

If Vivian were to appear at this moment.

Then she can forget about finding people or things.

Whether she can live to see tomorrow is unknown.

Because it was to eliminate the other gangs.

The three major gangs, now bloodthirsty and ruthless, will stop at nothing to kill each other.

Leave Vivian here permanently, then find a way to frame other gangs.

Thus, by using the upper district, they could kill someone else's victim.

Don't doubt it, the three major gangs right now are absolutely capable of doing something like this.

Looking at Vivian's solemn face, Chen Kong took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator next to him and said with a smile, "Miss Knight, if I were you, I would leave here first."

"Then, once the situation down here has stabilized, we'll bring the rest of the team to search together."

"No."

Vivian refused very firmly.

This made Chen Kong very curious.

"why?"

After thinking for a moment, Vivian said, "The church must find the item within a month, or things will get chaotic."

"Is this so"

Although Chen Kong didn't know what Vivian was talking about.

But the fact that a Silver Knight like Vivian could personally intervene shows that this thing is definitely very important.

And it's so important that it could affect the stability of the city.

After all, it was in the Gear Church in the Upper City, Cloud City.

The Silver Knight is the highest-ranking person after the Bishop, the Saintess, and the Gold Knight Commander.

This is a position that only a second-level Star Envoy can hold.

Chen Kong, the Son of the Stars, knew all too well what a Level Two Star Envoy meant.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Chen Kong suddenly spoke up and said, "Could you tell me more specifically what you are looking for?"

Vivian shook her head, indicating that she couldn't tell anyone outside the church about this.

Even the Star Envoy Association branch in the Steam City is the same.

"I can't speak, and I can't leave."

"Miss Knight, you don't actually think that just because you're wearing a nice uniform, you can walk around the Rusty Iron District like you own the place, do you?"

"You should know that, as far as I know, there are more than you can count on one hand the number of people in the Rusty Iron Zone who could pose a threat to you."

"So if you don't want to die here and be dismantled into parts by some disgusting guys and sold to the black markets of the Steam City, I advise you to go up there as soon as possible."

"After all, no one knows better than me just how dark this 'hell' really is."

Before Vivian could reply, Bertrand, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go, Your Excellency Silver Knight, as long as you take me with you."

"Then I will tell you everything you want to ask."

“I can even expose the black market strongholds in the Rusty Iron District that I know of, and help you take down these rat dens in the Upper City, thus redeeming myself.”

"Heh, you're pretty quick-witted."

Looking at Bertrand, who had an extremely strong will to survive.

Chen Kong immediately laughed.

But this is normal.

In the Rust Iron District, anyone who wasn't quick-witted had long been taken advantage of, their bones sold off as spare parts, and no one knows where they ended up.

And in Bertrand's hopeful gaze.

Vivian, however, looked at Chen Kong unexpectedly.

"Can you help me?"

"Ok?"

Chen Kong glanced at her unexpectedly.

He seemed surprised that she would ask such a question.

After some thought, Chen Kong frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult. After all, what you've said is rather vague, and I have a feeling that there's a considerable danger involved."

So, are you refusing?

Chen Kong shook his head and said seriously, "No, what I mean is you have to pay more."

Vivian: "."
