Chapter 28 Shadows

"Sir, the preparations have been basically completed, so I'm waiting for the scheduled time." In the basement with a faint light, Kari bowed and reported to Alessandra, wearing a black robe standing next to the altar.

"Carry, you're doing a great job." Alessandra praised in a husky voice.

"No, the villain just did a little insignificant work, and everything depends on the wise leadership of the adults." Kari stood there, without a look of self-pride on his face, and was not allowed to be taken away by the other party's praise, and still maintained his usual steady and calmness.

"I will remember your credit. When this matter is over, I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward." Alessandra stood there, her light blue eyes flashing in the dark for a moment, and said quietly: "Okay, go down."

"Yes." Kari didn't notice anything wrong. After bowing respectfully as usual, he left the basement from the secret passage.

"Come out." Alessandra's hoarse voice echoed in the wide basement, "Why do you want me to treat you?"

Facing the altar, Sandra turned around and looked at the empty place behind her, as if she was talking to the air.

Suddenly, a low and crisp sound rang in the air, like a sound of soap bubbles floating on the water suddenly burst. A gentleman in a dark blue suit appeared in place, looking at the face in front of him that could make the child cry, his face full of frivolity and smile, without any fear.

"Hal, if I remember correctly, these are the eight times you have been uninvited." Arisandra said, and combined with his night owl-like voice, it looked even more shrill and gloomy.

"So." Hall just smiled indifferently, and even lowered his head and sniffed the red rose on his chest, not caring the other person's words to heart.

"Maybe I should teach you what politeness means." Alejandra's light blue eyes seemed to have scarlet blood renderings, as if countless struggling and wailing souls were floating in that sea of ​​blood.

"This is not very good." Hall looked at Alexandra and smiled embarrassedly, "It would be bad if I'm embarrassed to break you."

There was a shy smile on his face, but the words he said were sharp.

A heavy atmosphere spread between the two, as if there was an invisible pressure increasing. The empty and closed underground forces were whistling for no reason, just like the sound of big waves surging from the subtle points.

But in the end, Alessandra just smiled, and the heavy atmosphere between the two disappeared without a trace.

"Tell me, what's wrong with me?" He turned around again and looked at the mysterious altar.

"It's nothing, I just tell you that no matter how selfish you are, it's best to do the Speaker's affairs well, otherwise you will know the consequences." Hall seemed to not care about the other party's rude behavior, but his expression was rarely rigorous and solemn.

"You don't need to say more about this matter, I have my own sense of responsibility." Alessandra just replied lightly. No one could understand what he was thinking.

"That's all, I'd like to do it myself." Hall just glanced at the other party deeply, and then disappeared from the spot with a crisp sound.

Arisandra looked at the altar in front of her, built with bones and blood, and looked leisurely and couldn't see clearly what she thought under the face like a ghost.

"It's soon, it's soon..." Amid the destruction of several light balls on the altar, Alejandra murmured to himself.

...

At the south gate of Gria City, in the queue waiting for inspection, two young men with arrogant expressions stood out in the long line of the city gate.

"Molia, what's the situation? The executive department of Gria City asked for help from the headquarters of the Imperial Executive Department, but there was nothing." One of the tall men in the two of them opened their lips slightly, and a voice came straight into the ears of their companions, but none of the others around him noticed it.

"John, I said not to use messaging techniques like this anymore. What if there is a leak of information?" Another man pretended to look around, his lips slightly moved and transmitted silently, but the suppressed anger in his words could be heard in the words.

OK OK OK I won’t say it, okay, the man named John muttered in his heart, but did not refute the words of his partner.

...

At the same time, in the East City of Gria, the place with dirt and sin hidden, is a small courtyard.

"How is it going to be recently?" asked a well-dressed middle-aged gentleman sitting on the sofa. His clothes were gorgeous and noble, and should not appear in this place as dirty as a sewer, but at the most gorgeous dance party.

"Sorry, we have no news. Recently, the empire's inspection efforts have been increasing. Many of our actions are difficult to carry out and we cannot investigate at all. The current form is extremely unclear. It is not clear whether it is because of the previous incident or because they have other plans." Benson Ireland bowed and said, one of the giants in the underground world of Gria City, opposite the middle-aged gentleman.

"Okay, last time someone was shopping in the black market, you didn't report to the top." The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa roared in a low voice in his anger. "This time, you need to investigate the news but there is no result. What's the use of you? You can't do a little bit of small things."

"Please give me another chance, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." Seeing the man in front of him angry, Benson was so scared that he lay on the ground, and kowtowed with a trembling body and begged.

"No need, don't continue to investigate this matter." It seems that the middle-aged gentleman who was still full of anger just now has calmed down. "Since you can't get any news, it's not a good thing for you to know too much."

"Thank you for your understanding." Benson's body, which had been trembling, also stabilized a lot. It seemed that he understood that the other party did not intend to punish him, his voice calmed a lot.

"You have collected news during this period. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately." The middle-aged man glanced at Benson for the last time and said slowly.

"Yes." Benson, who was lying on the ground, dared not lift up, but just leaned his body lower to show his understanding. Although the other party's tone was plain, he, who knew the other party's nature, did not dare to regard the other party's words as an irrelevant joke.

"Okay, do it well. If it's so useless next time, it's not that easy." The middle-aged man lifted up the golden wooden stick beside him, then put on a certainly wide top hat, and walked out without looking at it.

Benson kept listening to the footsteps gradually fading away until no sound came, and then he collapsed on the ground, his back was covered with slippery cold sweat, and his face was filled with joy for the death to survive.

Daniel, who walked out of an extremely remote corner, had already changed his outfit, wearing the most common work trousers in Dongcheng District, and the gorgeous top hat and exquisite walking stick.

His steps were in a hurry and his shrine was poor, just like the most ordinary working people living in Dongcheng District, running around for their daily livelihood.

Benson, a idiot, had someone collected spell casting materials on the black market but found it. There was no news about this incident. It was really a waste. If it weren't for the recent severe situation and the fear of rash personnel changes would attract the attention of the Imperial Execution Department, this idiot would have replaced it and accepted the organization's punishment.

Daniel's expression remained unchanged, but he cursed in a low voice.

After walking out of the East City District quickly, Daniel came to a safe house he set up at the edge of the East City District. He changed the work clothes he had worn before, changed into the suit stored in the storage equipment, changed into the clothes and looked at himself carefully in front of the mirror, and after confirming that there were no omissions.

Walking on the streets of the West End, the guy who was originally playing with the wind and rain in the shadows became Daniel, one of the rich businessmen in Gria City, the most kind philanthropist.
