Noxus Glory

Chapter 94 Grey Wolf Franky

puff!

In the dimly lit alley, crimson-gold flames of Nanli leaped from Huo Jixing's fingertips, like fireflies, precisely striking each cold corpse.

In an instant!

A crimson-gold flame ignited.

The bright, dense sunlight, like the light of a candle, burned away the filth that filled the slums.

Huo Jixing quietly admired the fiery scene before him, and softly remarked, "Hmm, what a beautiful sight, don't you think?"

Under the crimson glow of the fire.

Mickey swallowed hard, his fear growing stronger, almost suppressing the sharp, bone-crushing pain emanating from his shoulder.

"A superhuman!"

He looked at the handsome man in front of him in horror, a sense of despair pressing down on his heart. He deeply regretted that he had listened to Luo Er's words today and come to investigate the matter of Moore's widow.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he shut his mouth tightly and dared not speak.

The flames burned out.

The sewage mixed with blood evaporated completely, revealing the gray-blue path.

"Now, nobody knows that so many people have died." Huo Jixing turned his head, smiling, and looked at Mickey.

"Um?"

He frowned slightly as he looked at Mickey, who had stopped struggling and speaking.

Mickey, who was just talking to someone, now kept his mouth tightly shut, his expression filled with despair and an aura of death.

Even as he clenched his fists, crushing his acromion and scapula, Mickey endured the excruciating pain and remained silent.

"Things are getting more and more interesting!"

Huo Jixing's gaze grew increasingly cold as he released his right hand, letting Mickey fall to the ground.

Then, he crouched down and stared into Mickey's lifeless eyes.

"Let me think, who makes you so afraid?"

Huo Jixing slowly drew his long sword from his waist and slashed it across Mickey's face. Seeing the trembling eyes, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Is it the Gray Wolf Gang, or the person behind them?"

He used his long knife to cut off Mickey's thick robe, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Mickey's mouth.

Perhaps influenced by his past life, Huo Jixing initially disliked torture.

But after the baptism of the Second Battle of Freljord, he felt that the existence of torture had some justification.

During the earlier wars, Eric and his men were in charge of torturing prisoners, but this was the first time he had done it himself.

"Remember, if you agree to speak, just nod!"

Huo Jixing used his long sword to cut open the last remaining robe on Mickey's body, exposing his pale, oily skin to the cold wind, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

puff!

The sharp blade cut into the skin, severing a piece of pale flesh.

But before the blood could flow out, a crimson-gold flame rose up, instantly scorching the flesh and sealing the wound.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Instantly, Mickey's eyes bulged, and tears streamed down his face.

His left hand, which was still relatively intact, pounded the ground desperately, his knuckles gradually turning white.

puff!puff!puff!

Huo Jixing glanced at Mickey's miserable state, raised an eyebrow, and continued to use the long knife to cut open his skin, slicing off pieces of flesh.

In a dimly lit environment.

The crimson flames flickered, then died out, repeating the cycle endlessly.

It wasn't until after a cup of tea had been brewed that Huo Jixing saw Mickey nodding repeatedly as if he had lost his mind, his eyes filled with pleading, that he stopped wielding his long sword.

puff!

Huo Jixing stood in the alley, gazing at the Nanli Fire burning before him.

In the dim environment, a streak of crimson-gold flame quickly incinerated the corpses on the ground, leaving no trace.

"Tsk, this is my first time handling something like this, and I seem to be quite adept at it," Huo Jixing chuckled to himself.

However, after the torture, he finally obtained some useful information.

According to Mickey's dying confession, the sudden rise of the Grey Wolf Gang was indeed related to the Imperial Pension.

Within the area Mickey was in charge of, three families received Imperial pensions.

Moore's family was one of them.

As for the specific reasons and the people behind it, Mickey didn't know much.

His orders were to embezzle the pension funds by taking advantage of the fact that no one had inherited the property.

If anyone secretly inquires about this matter, deal with them immediately. The Gray Wolf Gang will handle the situation properly after it's over.

"Grey Wolf Franky!" Hojixing whispered.

The Grey Wolf Franky he mentioned was the leader of the Grey Wolf Gang.

He is quite strong, and I've heard he's a high-level warrior who once escaped from being pursued by the Blade of Conquest.

He was also one of the key figures in the rise of the Grey Wolf Gang.

He holds most of the power in the Grey Wolf Gang, including matters related to compensation and connections with the people behind the Grey Wolf Gang.

Then Huo Jixing remembered that Mickey had mentioned Rol, who was a sentry placed in the slums by the Grey Wolf Gang, specifically to keep an eye on the pension issue.

But he didn't see Rol during the recent killings.

"Looks like we've alerted them. The Grey Wolf Gang will know Mickey and the others are missing by tomorrow at the latest."

Huo Jixing glanced at the unusually quiet houses around him, then turned and left.

Although the recent physical abuse and torture had caused quite a commotion, no one dared to come out in the dim light of the slum.

Everyone hid in their houses, trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.

In the deepest part of the slum, the dark night descends.

De Witt stood solemnly outside the room of Korda and Mur's widow, holding a sharp blade, not daring to relax his guard for a moment.

"Who?"

Upon seeing a figure approaching, DeWitt immediately spoke up.

"It's me!"

As Huo Jixing approached, he saw that DeWitt was unharmed and Korda was still unconscious, as well as the dilapidated room with dim yellow lights on, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Decad"

When DeWitt saw Hojixing return, he wanted to ask her something, but he didn't know how to start.

"Go inside and take them back to camp."

Seeing DeWitt's appearance, Huo Jixing seemed to understand something, then pointed to the dilapidated room and spoke softly.

He then carried the unconscious Korda on his back.

Now that we've already alerted them, we can't stay here to avoid getting into trouble.

Wait a moment.

DeWitt led the bewildered widow of Moore out, and with words of comfort, they followed Hoji Star away from this lowest-class slum.

Outside the capital of Noxus, at a hill camp.

After passing the guard at the gate.

Huo Jixing first carried Korda to the gray pharmacy so that the doctor could treat Korda's injuries.

Immediately afterwards, he arranged accommodation for Moore's widow and instructed DeWitt to stay and take care of her.

Thanks to his current status and position, everything is proceeding smoothly.

After everything was settled, Huo Jixing walked back to his residence along the narrow street.

Push open the door.

He saw Heiny, the sword boy, leaning against a wooden chair in the hall, nodding frequently.

Under the bright yellow light, the young swordsman heard footsteps, opened his tired eyes, and saw Huo Jixing's figure.

He immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly ran into the restaurant to bring out the food.

"Where are Korda and DeWitt? Haven't they come back?" Heine asked, looking at Hojixing who was eating dinner in front of her.

"They just happened to have a mission to carry out and needed to be away for a few days."

Huo Jixing wanted to speak frankly, but when he saw Haini's clear eyes and remembered her recent personality changes, he ultimately chose to lie.

After the war stonemason Oakes was killed, Heiny began to become somewhat silent.

It makes sense, considering that during the second campaign in Freljord, the deaths of two people who had been taking care of him were particularly devastating for him.

If the events of today were told truthfully, Korda would be injured and in a coma, and the widow of Moore would have her pension stolen.

So, will Heine be completely disappointed with Noxus right now?

"Has something happened?" Heine seemed to sense that Huo Jixing was hiding something, and asked with pursed lips.

"With me here, what could possibly happen!"

Huo Jixing looked at the gaze that Haini was casting, chuckled softly, and ruffled his hair.

"You can stay home and take care of sharpening and oiling my longsword."

"By the way, tell the messenger at the camp tomorrow that if Wilson returns to the camp, please let us know."

Huo Jixing had just finished speaking when he thought about it carefully for a while before speaking again.

"I told the messenger that something important was going on."
