Chapter 6 Uncle Miller

The alley at the back door of Liema Hotel.

The young thief yawned boredly and stared at him with unconscious eyes.

This task is really boring. The other party is a half-elf warrior, and it is said that the employer asked for it, but the boss's request was only to grasp her movements. What they need to do is to report the whereabouts of the female half-elf to the above on time.

"Who will go out to the streets in the middle of the night? It will be troublesome when encountering patrolmen." The thief held back his sleepiness.

The boss of the Akron gang is ambitious and no longer satisfied with the previous small-scale fights such as collecting protection fees. This time it was his attempt to enter the related black fields such as **. Everyone in the gang knows that if you mess up this mission, your head will be lost.

Hum? There is a rumor behind it?

The thief suddenly looked back alertly.

The dark alley was empty and there was no one.

"Nervous allergies?" The thief frowned and looked for a while before slowly turning his gaze.

...

"This guy has a good perception."

Marvin, who had just been frightened by the thief's movements, took a step back.

Ranger's sneaking in the city will receive a 40% weakening penalty, and the effect cannot be compared with the thief. The 24-point sneaking is a bit lower in front of the thief's perception. This is not in the wild, and Marvin has no advantage.

Fortunately, the thief's perception range was accurately estimated and he tried it.

Ma Wen thought to himself that if he had just approached impulse, the thief would definitely find his own. If he had asked him to send a signal, things would be tricky tonight.

He hid in the dark and thought about it. In the end, he piled up all the remaining 20 precious skill points on the [Stealing]. The sneaking point of 44 points is, even if he gets a 60% discount, it will be more than 26 points. He should have some hope.

After adjusting his skills, he leaned forward a little again and stretched out one foot to step on the ground.

Sure enough, this time the thief did not respond and stared at the back door of the hotel with concentration.

Everything next will be easy.

Ma Wen touched the thief in a silent cat step, and pounced on him decisively before the other party reacted.

Skilledly cover your mouth, cut your throat, and bleed.

Except for the more bloody smell in the air, there was no trace left.

This is a level 2 thief. Ma Wen hastily dealt with the body, got some materials for making traps, and 30 silver coins. These gang members are actually not rich. Their equipment is even worse than the whiteboard scimitars bought by Ma Wen himself. Most of them are used to scare ordinary people. It is difficult for real professionals to come in handy in battle.

The thief's body was dragged into the drainage ditch by Marvin. Every day, some unlucky guys who died suddenly were found in this drainage ditch. No one would care about these faces except the corpse collector.

After quietly entering from the back door of the hotel, Marvin sneaked upstairs and entered the room.

Who knew that the moment the door opened, a cold light suddenly stood on his neck.

"Sneaky guy! What exactly do you want to do?"

A female voice said coldly.

Marvin smiled bitterly and hurriedly said, "Sister Anna, it's me."

"Master Ma Wen?"

The friction flint lit a candle, and there was more light in the dark room.

Anna held the candle in her left hand and the sword in her right hand, revealing a look of surprise.

"Didn't you say you won't come back tonight? I thought you would spend the night at Silver Church."

Marvin shook his head. The church of the Silver Church does provide a place for travelers to rest, but the rent there is more expensive.

"Listen, Anna, we only have fifteen minutes." Ma Wen spoke very quickly. His eyes swept across every corner of the room, but unexpectedly found that the windows were covered tightly by curtains.

"What did you find?" he looked at Anna.

Anna hesitated for a moment and pointed her sword out the window: "The words you said before you left reminded me. I took a moment to scout and found that someone on the street outside was staring outside. Our room."

"Akron gangsters." Marvin nodded, "Two front doors and one back door."

"Master Ma Wen, why are you suddenly..." Anna looked at Ma Wen in surprise, as if she was looking at another person.

"I don't have time to explain too much." Marvin showed a determined look: "Anna, you have to believe me. I recovered from a serious illness this time and my mind became clearer. I knew what I should do. And I also got some guidance."

"Guide?" Looking at the mysterious Marvin, Anna became more and more confused.

Marvin casually said: "When I was in a coma, I dreamed of a lot of things. I dreamed of a person who claimed to be my teacher. In the dream, he taught me a lot of things. And just now, I followed his guidance to do some necessary steps, you see."

After saying that, he showed the sika deer badge.

"Ranker Badge? Master Ma Wen, why did you suddenly become a Ranger? How did you do this?"

Anna was completely shocked. You should know that ordinary people need years of training to become a professional, but Young Master Ma Wen has never undergone combat training. Isn't this Ranger badge fake?

Or did he meet another liar?

Compared to Marvin's transformation and becoming a qualified ranger, Anna is more willing to believe in the latter.

Looking at Anna's eyes, Marvin knew that she didn't believe in her. He said in a deep voice: "Leave the unimportant things in the house and take away the important things. By the way, leave a letter to the owner of the Liema Hotel and ask her to help manage our belongings. We will come back to pick them up in the future."

"Now, I need your help."

Marvin's tone was unquestionable. Anna took a deep breath and sweared in her heart that if Marvin really met a liar, she would definitely tear the guy who deceived her young master into pieces!

At this moment, she just nodded obediently and prepared to deal with various situations - she was trained as a qualified bodyguard and a competent internal affairs housekeeper since she was a child. She was the greatest helper of the owner of the White Valley land. When Marvin made a choice, she would only support her.

The two quickly packed up and quietly left the back door.

...

In the quiet alley, Ma Wen whispered: "The secret whistle of the Akron gangsters confirms that they are safe every twenty minutes. They use the method of croaking partridges. I observed it before, and about three croaking partridges mean safety. Unfortunately, we don't know how to speak partridges, so our time is very limited."

"I don't understand what you mean yet." Anna asked softly: "You said there is a secret whistle on the back door? Where is he?"

Ma Wen coughed: "In the ditch behind."

Anna was silent, but a tide was stirred in her heart. She couldn't understand Young Master Ma Wen any more. A kind person actually took the initiative to kill someone.

However, she was not completely unable to understand Marvin's change.

A wise man once said that human potential is infinite. When a person falls into a desperate situation, it is very likely that some transformations will occur - good or bad - no matter what, people will change to survive better.

Over the past few days, the White River Valley and Young Master Ma Wen have suffered too much. It is far beyond the reach of the 14-year-old boy. It is not completely impossible for the kind Young Master Ma Wen to become decisive and cold.

But she was a little worried, worried that Marvin would go to another extreme from now on.

In any case, since the secret whistle behind was killed by Marvin, it won't take long before the two enemies in the front door will discover this.

So Marvin kept saying that they didn’t have much time.

"I'll kill them." Anna showed a trace of murderous aura. Just in the room, Marvin explained to her that she had been intercepted by Akron gang members. She only escaped the crisis with the guidance of the teacher in her dream and returned to the hotel.

This shocked Anna and was both angry.

Anyone who dares to attack Mr. Ma Wen will never let him go.

"No, no, Anna, if I just wanted to kill them, I wouldn't have come to you for help."

Marvin said calmly: "We have to leave at least one living mouth."

"Living?" Anna frowned.

"Because I have to know who wants to kill me. It is impossible for the Akron gang to attack me for no reason. Someone must be instructed behind them."

Ma Wen whispered: "In my impression, there are no enemies in the riverbank city."

"No!" Anna suddenly remembered something, and an incredible look appeared on her face, and then she turned into a strong anger.

"What's wrong? Anna?" asked Marvin.

"Young Master, I think I may know who was secretly attacking you."

Anna gritted her teeth and said, "I have been working at your uncle Miller's house these days. I have accidentally heard that he is very close to the Akron gangster!"

"Diaphis, the leader of the Akron gang, personally entered your uncle's mansion a few days ago and took away a lot of jewelry! This was something that the chef A Tao saw with his own eyes. She later told me as rumor. I didn't care much at that time!"

"Now I think about it, it is very likely that your Uncle Miller who attacks you behind the scenes!!"
