Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 743 Lanqi is targeted by his mother-in-law
Ursula and Elsa looked anxiously at the mafia leader and Professor Landry who were almost in conflict in the dark alley.

Fortunately, they didn't intend to fight each other.

"Meow... The imperial power is unparalleled, the empire's faith meow."

The cat boss read Lanqi's lines to give himself courage. In fact, he wanted to go back into Lanqi's shadow, but he had to protect the two little girls now, so he certainly couldn't be cowardly.

After all, it is one level higher than the mafia leader Patton!
But from what Patton said, he didn't mean to be aggressive.

At present, this guy named Patton is quite easy to talk to. He did not misunderstand them just because of the corpses of mafia gangs on the ground and started to attack them directly without any disagreement.

Considering the time limit for Tata to attack, it is definitely not cost-effective to fight with Barton, a former seventh-level war assassin of the Imperial Army. At least Elsa and Ursula will be in great danger.

It seems that Lanqi's final trump card is still this king cat.

"Mr. Barton, I caught this vampire. I'm sorry I can't give it to you."

Lanci replied politely.

His previous fight with Viscount Carmel had been quite restrained, and he tried to block out as much noise as possible.

The only time that there might have been a strong fluctuation of magic was when Talia broke Viscount Carmel's mechanism and forcibly captured him in order to prevent him from using his power to escape.

Unexpectedly, the mafia leader Barton Hall still noticed them.

"How can you give him to me?"

Patton didn't plan to rob, but asked Lanqi.

But his attitude is clear.

In the worst case scenario today, even if he has to force a purchase, he must keep this vampire and will never let anyone take this vampire out of his port area.

"This really can't be traded, but can you tell me, Mr. Barton, what do you want it for?"

Lanqi felt that Patton was not someone who could not communicate.

At least he is much easier to communicate with than Nikolai the Red Falcon, who is also an imperial soldier.

Nicholas the Red Falcon would negotiate with the other party with a skeptical attitude first, while Patton would hold an attitude of believing first. Of course, it might also be because he had taken action against the vampires, which made Patton roughly convinced that he was not an accomplice of the vampires.

"..."

Mafia leader Patton fell silent.

"Mr. Patton, if we fight here, it will undoubtedly be a lose-lose situation, so I hope that no matter what, we can solve the problem through communication instead of using force. Although we have just met, we can take our time to trust each other. If you are not willing to trust me, I can trust you first."

Lanci said sincerely.

Viscount Carmel was not only the first vampire he captured in the Kreming Empire, possessing irreplaceable intelligence value, but more importantly, this vampire had a seven-digit killing record.

Lanqi wants to transform this vampire and give it to Hyperion. Hyperion will definitely be happy.

"Are you sure Hyperion will like this gift?"

Talia felt that although she didn't quite understand human merits, she certainly wouldn't want a fully automatic merit-printing machine. She was not sure whether this machine added merits or deducted merits.

When she slept with Hyperion in the past, Talia always heard Hyperion talking in her sleep, "Goddess, please don't deduct my merits anymore...", "Lanqi, please be frugal...", "Wow, I really don't have any merits left...", which made Talia feel very sad.

As a devout believer in the goddess of fate, Hyperion firmly believes that merit and luck are related, because when she was a child, whenever she did bad things, her luck would become particularly bad, and whenever she did good things, her luck would get better.

Kotalia felt that it was very likely that Duke Migaia had someone artificially controlled Hyperion's "luck" when Hyperion was a child.

If Hyperion thought that this was deducting merit, she might cry, because she was not superstitious, she truly believed like a child.

"No problem, dual-blood clan. I have to catch one more to replicate the fully automatic merit machine at the Shadow World Sanctuary Villain Dinner."

Lanqi answered Talia confidently.

"If she cries, I will definitely beat you up."

Talia kind of agreed to the project.

"Just put your heart at ease, Tata," said Xiu Baobao. Back then, in the Lichtens Castle in the shadow world, she activated the button of the fully automatic merit machine with great ritual sense under the watchful eyes of the clergy. She couldn't hold back at that time."

Lanqi's biggest regret is that he cannot bring the fully automatic merit machine out from the shadow world. Now the opportunity to restore the glory of the merit machine in the real world is right in front of him. He must consider whether this is his only chance in this life, because vampires in this era of the real world are too difficult to find.

He and Talia argued in their minds for a while, and Barton finally made a move.

"No comment, but I promise that if you hand him over to the Empire, he will soon disappear, and then you will never have peace."

He shook his head, looked at Lanqi and said in a deep voice.

After hearing what Mafia leader Barton said, Ursula and Elsa looked at each other in confusion.

Although Barton spoke in riddles, they unexpectedly understood what he meant.

Handing Viscount Carmel over to the military of the Cretan Empire is no different from letting Viscount Carmel go. Presumably, someone with great power will complete a perfect operation overnight and completely erase the accident involving Viscount Carmel. The next step is to find a way to silence the Landry siblings.

Just like the way Ursula's brother, Marquis Ryan, handled things, the power organ of this empire seemed to have been secretly controlled by an unknown force. Those guys could turn white into black and black into white. The citizens of the empire had no room to resist in their hands.

"You also know that the empire is now infiltrated by the vampires?"

Lanci asked Mafia leader Patton.

"...?"

Barton was visibly stunned.

He remembered that Professor Landry should be an iron-blooded lackey of the Empire, so how could he know so much about the real situation of the Empire?

Ursula and Elsa were confused listening in the back.

Has the Kremlin Empire really been infiltrated by the vampires?

What a horror story.

What do these two know?
"Landry, regardless of what you know, leaving the vampire in the Mafia's territory and letting me deal with him is the safest option. As long as you take him out, there will be great dangers even on the way back to Saint Clement's Monastery."

Barton warned the young professor with black hair and blue eyes with an unchanged expression.

He believed that intelligent people could understand good intentions and bad intentions.

The vampires are not only capable of reconnaissance, but also divination. If you are not careful you will be targeted by them. The Mafia's territory is a rare shielded area with interference from ancient magic devices, so even divination magic cannot easily interfere.

There are only two types of people who have a clear understanding of the current internal situation of the Kreming Empire: either the enemies of the blood clan or the people controlled by the blood clan.

Although we cannot rule out the possibility that "the vampires send their followers to use a trick to deceive the mafia leader by sacrificing a viscount", Landry is the only one who is unlikely to be a follower of the vampires, because his research on "biological transformation", "magic fission" and "sustainable energy" will undoubtedly make the vampires the biggest victims.

Once it really reaches the substantive stage, some imperial people will probably fully support him, while some imperial people will also try their best to stop him.

"Then, Mr. Barton, I will leave this Vampire Viscount with your Mafia, but I will only keep it with you. I will be responsible for its research and you are not allowed to interfere. I will share the final results with you. We will discuss the specific cooperation later. If you can give this promise, I will hand over the Vampire Viscount to you."

Lanci offered a solution.

Replace sincerity with sincerity.

Talia could tell that Patton was not lying, which meant that Patton was a real person and could do business with him.

"..." Barton pondered for a long time.

"I can't make the decision. Regarding cooperation, only my boss can decide how to cooperate with you and whether to cooperate."

he replied.

He is very cautious about transactions and will not easily agree to anything or make promises to others.

"Then can you take me to see the boss you mentioned?"

Ranch asked.

It turns out that there is a mysterious boss behind the Brierda Mafia.

If you want to form an alliance, you may have to have a detailed discussion with the real boss of the Brildae Mafia.

"If you are going to meet my boss, I can tell you responsibly that you should be prepared to be killed. If the talks fail, she will rob you if necessary, and she may even consider enslaving you."

Barton glanced at Professor Landry and the two students behind him and answered.

It doesn't look like he's joking.

Barton Hall was surprisingly decent.

Even though he has now fallen into the status of a mafia boss, his military temperament has not changed.

For him, the safest solution was undoubtedly to kill the Landry siblings and Ursula to prevent anyone from knowing that Viscount Carmel was in his hands.

Barton Hall also had no such intention on principle.

But his boss is obviously different.

Elsa and Ursula both felt a little scared. It was not until this moment that they realized more clearly that they were actually in the territory of the notorious Brillda Mafia.

It was definitely impossible for the two of them to go back to the Monastery of Saint Clement alone at night. Elsa had encountered the vampires before because she was left alone. Today, she must follow Landry to go back and forth to be the safest. If Landry wanted to meet the boss of the mafia leader, then of course they would have to follow him.

"The boss won't let too many people see her. She'll probably only let you go to see her, and your two students will just have to wait outside. I can only try my best to ensure their safety, but if the boss wants to do something to them, I can't fight her."

Patton explained.

He still didn't recommend Landry to meet with the boss.

"We will not hold back."

Ursula seemed to have seen what Elsa was thinking and said to the professor.

"…Let me meet your boss, Mr. Patton."

Lanci thought for a moment and gave his answer to Mafia leader Patton.

The combat power gap in the siege of Blood Moon City is too large, and he cannot miss any high-combat power target that may be a possible ally.

"Lanqi, once we get to the core building of the Mafia, that will be the enemy's home turf. If there is an opponent stronger than Patton, I may not be able to gain an advantage even if I go all out!"

Talia reminded him panickingly.

Fighting the enemy in a trap filled with prohibitions and barriers is no different from fighting against city defense facilities.

"It seems that the other party is also an enemy of the vampires, so we must not miss the opportunity to establish an alliance. Even if the boss of the mafia is not a good person, we have to take a gamble and negotiate."

Lanqi told Talia,
"Don't worry, if you are in danger, I will protect you."

He assured Talia.

"Who protects whom?"

Talia's thoughts grew quieter.

She never thought she would need a border boy to protect her.

But she didn't say anything else, which meant she agreed.

"I'll contact her."

Barton looked at Landry helplessly and took out the ultra-long-distance communication program.

He has made his point clear.

If Landry still insists, he won't delay any further.

"Boss, someone wants to see you and discuss a deal with you."

Barton dialed the communication magic and preached to the translucent card that was glowing purple.

He always remained cautious when it came to communication magic, as any communication magic that was already popular today had the possibility of information being stolen.

"Who?"

An indistinct female voice came from the translucent card.

"The professor."

Patton answered simply and clearly.

"Bring him here."

The boss responded and hung up the call.

In the dark night, the alley was still as bottomless as ever, but Patton had already turned sideways and signaled with his eyes that Landry and the others should follow him and head towards the core area of ​​the Brillda Mafia.

……

the other side.

In the heart of the mafia, there is a secret palace hundreds of meters underground in the Hegang Building.

This underground space seems to be separated from the outside world by a world of its own. The six silver-white anti-magic steel walls seem to be able to swallow up most of the light and echoes. The mechanical dome appears extremely heavy under the sparse lights. There is only silence and coldness like the deep sea.

Several giant bars of anti-magic steel extended upward, supporting the underground palace, flashing with pure white light. Every flicker of light would slightly illuminate the area filled with test benches and magical instruments.

Looking through the gap in the forbidden magic steel, there, in the center stood a figure, like a statue covered in frost and snow, with books piled up beside her.

The figure in the mechanical ice cave hung up the communication.

The ramparts were covered with frost, similar to the thin ice covering her skin, but it would soon be evaporated by the blood-red scars on her body.

She has short silver hair with slightly curled ends that just reach her chin, looking casual and fresh.

But her brown-red eyes were already filled with crazy and murderous joy.

"I didn't expect this lackey of the Empire would come to my door on his own accord..."

She picked up a lancet from the operating table and held it tightly in her hand.

"Let me dig into your brain and let me control you."
