Alien world

Chapter 942 173. Gray Gloves

The city guards who broke into Xianyu Street caused chaos and almost clashed with the gang members guarding the street entrance.

Fortunately, they remembered Francois's reminder not to cause trouble and did not stop him - they couldn't have stopped him anyway.

Spencer, surrounded by his men, came to the front of the house and saw the people rushing back. He stared at Francois and asked, "Are you their leader?"

"I am."

Spencer waved his hand, asking the people around him to step away, and said in a playful tone: "You people from Liberty City are really brave. You actually came to Xinger City to recruit."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Francois said calmly.

"You don't know?" Spencer slowly circled around Francois, "You suddenly appeared in Xing'er City and did these things..."

"I am just a noble passing through."

"Bullshit!" Spencer suddenly shouted, and the city guards who followed him raised their weapons.

The gang members realized what was happening later and confronted them nervously.

Spencer went back to Francois and said, "You are not from Liberty City, why are you giving money and food to these civilians?"

Francois was speechless. Exposing himself was actually because of a "good deed"?
He calmly glanced at the city guards brought by Spencer. They were not well-equipped, and their old leather armor showed signs of repair, but the gang members on his side were even worse... He should be able to control the casualties to a certain extent if he suddenly attacked, but the real trouble was that a city guard officer disappeared, which would soon attract an investigation from Xinger City.

I should have learned how to disguise myself from Dina before setting off, or at least brought a few magic scrolls of Transfiguration...

Spencer took Francois' silence as fear. At this moment, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?"

"what?"

Francois raised his eyes.

Spencer pointed his finger at his chest and said, "If you are willing to pay something, maybe I am willing to keep it a secret for you..."

"You want money?"

He was just here to blackmail us?
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Spencer shook his finger and made a clicking sound. "That's too harsh. I prefer to call it a noble's ransom for himself. Nobles have immunity from war, don't they?"

Francois gave up the idea of ​​killing the city guard here. He and Annan agreed on this point: any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

He still has some money, and although it is saved for buying supplies, catching rats should be able to keep the residents going for a while.

Francois did not doubt Spencer's integrity. After all, he could have just taken action first and searched the body later...

"Okay, I'll give you the 'ransom', but you can't stop me anymore..."

Spencer smiled a smile that looked very familiar to Francois, patted him on the shoulder, and walked towards the big house.

Francois followed him and threw his purse to him.

Spencer weighed his purse, smiled with satisfaction and walked out: "I'll come again tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Spencer turned around in surprise and said, "You don't think I can keep a secret for you for life just for fifty gold coins, do you? Look at this place, what a cozy place it is. It would be a shame if it was destroyed."

The undisguised threat made Francois's eyes turn cold.

"Don't look at me like that." Spencer didn't care at all. "I know what you're thinking, but if I were you, I would never attack a city guard who shows up at the city lord's mansion every day..."

"Fifty gold coins a day, that's pretty cheap, right?"

Spencer left with the city guards, leaving behind a group of gang members who were looking at each other.

"It's all right now, continue with your business." Francois said, looking at their receding backs.

It seemed like he had suffered a great loss, but Spencer's performance suddenly gave Francois ambition... Mobilizing the masses is useful, but it is too slow. If he could win over the officials and nobles... Freedom Blade will not be a sourceless water or a rootless tree.

……

Noor followed Spencer back to the base and finally found an opportunity to get in front of him: "Lord Spencer..."

"Why are you still here? Oh..." Spencer seemed to remember something belatedly, opened the drawer, took out a silver coin and threw it to Noor.

"You did a great job, this is for you."

Nur's smile was stiff. He had spent 1 silver coin to bribe the guard to come in!

He put on a flattering smile again and said, "Lord Spencer, you also know how expensive things are out there..."

"You're right, you deserve it." Spencer threw another silver coin.

The corners of Noor's mouth twitched as he held the two silver coins. He couldn't open his mouth to ask for more. He took the opportunity to ask, "Lord Spencer, I have wanted to follow you for a long time..."

"It depends on your performance."

Spencer yawned, and Noor said tactfully, "Then I'll go back first."

"Ah."

Spencer watched Noor walk out the door, stretched out his palm to his confidant standing outside the door, and stroked it across his throat.

The confidant understood the situation and left with Nur, who was still immersed in joy.

Spencer leaned back into his chair and threw his legs over the table.

He doesn't hate greedy people, but it would be better if those who are as greedy as himself die.

……

Francois doesn't have much time to waste.

The money he had was only enough to pay one day's ransom, and it was impossible for him to earn that much money by relying on Xianyu Street, so he simply kept only two days' worth of money and used the rest to exchange for supplies.

The reward was that he successfully controlled three streets on the third day after sneaking into Xinger City and expanded the members of the "Salted Fish Gang" to 300 people, but the price was that he had no money.

As a result, on the fourth day, Spencer sent someone to the "Salt Fish House" to deliver a letter.

[The magnanimous Spencer knows that you have no money, and he allows you to do something to compensate for the money. Don't ask why, tools don't need to ask questions, you just need to do it. ]

Include a name and address on the back of the letter.

"Does anyone know who Hermann is?"

Lame Babu didn't know either, but Little Small knew German and said that he was the captain of the city guard and was considered to be the new candidate for the city guard officer.

So it seems that Spencer sees himself as the Gray Glove, taking care of his enemies?
It's not impossible... There are few good people among the nobles of the Kingdom of Recanel, and Hermann is a businessman who secretly buys and sells human beings. There is no burden in killing him. Francois also got rid of several accomplices at the same time, for free.

Hermann's property also made Francois a small fortune, which allowed him to buy more supplies to feed the growing population.

The next day, Francois observed the result and found that Spencer certainly did not care about the death of his enemies. He just said that they were a group of wandering bandits and he caught a few scapegoats to get away with it.

The cooperation between Francois and Spencer gradually stabilized. When he had money, he bought supplies, and when he had no money, he made money by doing dirty work for Spencer.

The weather is getting colder, and the Freeblade is growing stronger day by day.

On the tenth day after Francois arrived in Star City, Spencer eliminated all his enemies.

Without prey, hunting dogs are useless...
