Alien world

Chapter 1003 Chapter 234. Capturing the Free Blade
New Royal Capital, Outer City, Stinky Socks Street.

This place is destined to be a place that people love and hate. Those who come here to escape or want a place to stay can't find a cheaper and less dangerous place to live than Stinky Socks Street.

However, because it is close to the slums and there is a large influx of outside population, the security here is not much better than that of the slums.

On the bright side, chaos brings opportunities, allowing many professionals and people who try their luck to make their mark here.

At this moment, on the second floor of a residential building on Stinky Socks Street, several figures were sitting by the stove, plotting the results of the past few days.

"I have recruited three people. They are all young and strong. Their relatives died in the great migration and plague of the kingdom. They have no gratitude towards the kingdom."

"Very good. We need people who are full of hatred for the kingdom, but be careful not to let hatred cloud your mind and kill innocent people. We want to eliminate tyranny, not become tyranny."

"I recruited seven, but two of them were weak-willed and joined us just for status and to be the boss."

"We don't need people like this. If they can choose us for wealth and status, they can sell us out for wealth and status."

"I have only developed two, but they are women, and they can get close to those nobles and help us spy on information."

"No... I refuse, and you need to review your idea! We want to bring happiness to the people, not make them tools to achieve our goals!"

As the leader of these people was scolding, a middle-aged man rushed in from the door. He looked just like the common civilians on the street, with a sad face caused by life.

"No, it's bad, a group of city guards are coming outside!"

The leader, who had a scar on the corner of his eye and didn't look like a good guy, thought for a moment and said, "Don't be nervous. Maybe a murder has happened."

The middle-aged man's mouth trembled constantly: "No, they said they wanted to come in and catch the Free Blade..."

The chief frowned and moved to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw the team of tall and strong city guards who were avoided by passers-by.

The blond young man in the lead was shouting, "I am the City Guard, under the jurisdiction of Sheriff Hena, and the captain of the ninth squad under the command of Officer Bourne City Guard, Master Olme! I came to Stinky Socks Street to search for the Free Blade!"

The companions beside him felt depressed: "He is coming for us..."

At this moment, the leader saw the men beside the blond captain suddenly looked up at this side.

He suddenly lowered the curtains and retreated behind the wall, his heart beating fast.

What a keen perception...Have you been discovered?

……

Maria, who was dressed as a guard, withdrew her gaze and leaned close to Annan to whisper something.

"Ok?"

Annan looked up at the second-floor window in surprise.

Is there really a Free Blade hidden here?

But it makes sense for them to appear in a place like this...

"Remember their location, and go later... no, go now and ask them what they need, food, supplies, or weapons." Annan was worried that they would be alerted by him and run away, which would be terrible.

Freeblade and Freeblade...are different.

This is not a contradiction. The nobles led by Renato are not so much joining the Free City as making a bet - never put all your eggs in one basket.

If Liberty City wins, they will be exempted from death. On the other hand, if Liberty City loses, they will spare no effort to attack Liberty City until the person who knows the secret can never speak out.

Therefore, compared to the nobles, these poor people are the real property of Liberty City, and they are the people who will build Liberty City in the future.

"Will they be exposed if we contact them rashly?" Maria asked.

"That depends on how capable Stuhn Rat is."

After all, she was the sister of the champion mouse, so Maria was aroused by her competitive spirit and left the team and went into the alley.

Annan withdrew his gaze and continued walking through the street shouting.

"You can tell me any news you have about the Free Blade! The reward is generous, and the city guards will guarantee your safety—"

"I know!"

Not long after walking, a voice suddenly rang out on the street. The crowd of people watching the excitement dispersed, revealing a gangster with his neck shrunk and an uneasy look on his face.

"you know?"

Annan looked at him for a few times. Unfortunately, his warlock talent could not tell lies. Thinking of Maria's words about seeing the Free Blade, he deliberately threatened: "You know what the consequences are of telling us false news."

"I……"

The thug was about to retreat, but when he saw many people in the crowd were moved, he gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, many people here know about this and they can testify for me!"

Many people know... Have they been exposed?

"Where are they?" Annan said calmly.

"You come with me!"

The gangster put on an excited look and walked towards the house where Maria pointed out the abnormality.

Annan narrowed his eyes and only regained his composure after watching him walk to the side.

On the first floor of the room, the leader who had peeked into another room was slightly startled: "What's going on? We have our own people next to us?"

"No, they are from the kingdom." The middle-aged man, the owner of the house, said in a low voice.

"We also..." A member realized something: "What do you mean?"

"Those are the bastards who committed crimes under our name."

The leader murmured, watching as several city guards began knocking on the door.

bang bang bang-

After a while, the door was opened and a group of strong men with unfriendly expressions walked out.

"You are the Free Blade?"

"What do you want from me?" The leading burly man had sweat and heat dripping from his naked upper body, looking as if his interest had been disturbed.

Annan raised his eyebrows slightly. These guys were braver than he thought... Or was it because they had the support of some big shots and felt fearless?
Never mind, it doesn’t matter. I came here just for them.

Annan sneered, "I am the nemesis of Free Blade. If you run into me, you'll be like touching cotton!"

The clerk whispered, "That's wrong."

"That's right, I will wrap you tightly with cotton and then burn you to death!!!"

"He seems to hate us..."

The member hiding behind the window said to himself, "Could it be the descendant of a noble?"

The leader frowned: "I don't know why, but he always gives me a familiar feeling..."

"You seem to have very keen senses."

A frivolous female voice suddenly sounded behind them. Everyone was startled and drew their weapons, while the leader looked outside the door.

Maria walked down the stairs and said, "Don't look anymore. The guy watching at the door is fine. He didn't even notice me."

"Who are you?" The leader did not recognize Maria who had changed out of the city guard's clothes.

"Help your people."

"Sorry, we don't need help from people of unknown origin." The leader declined.

"You're so pedantic. Is that what Liberty City taught you?" Maria threw a purse and the middle-aged man caught it. "Here's a bag of gold nars. Is it righteous or evil?"

The leader's tone was still cautious, but no longer hostile: "Who are you?"

"It's just a rat man passing by."
