This is a Miracle

“We want to see your boss.”

“The boss is not here.”

The gatekeeper was just a small punk. He was crossing his legs and leaning on a broken shack, not even looking at the two of them.

“Beating and killing people for revenge,” Issafeiya said the secret code.

“Give him the money.”

“Take it.”

Bai Luo resolutely threw out a small bag of money, the punk clasped it, then opened it and took a look,

“I’m a bit clumsy, I hope that the two guests can forgive me. Please follow me.”

The punks who guard the entrance to the stronghold don’t necessarily require amazing combat power, but they must be very alert.

There are many such strongholds throughout the slum. There are some differences between a regular visitor and a newcomer.

If Bai Luo didn’t pay but chose to beat the guard, it means that he is here to make trouble and that he doesn’t care about the strength of the Viper Gang at all.

The Viper gang doesn’t dare to accept such a guest.

However, if the other party follows the rules and gives money. On one hand, it is an additional source of income for the gang, and on the other hand, it’s a test of the other party’s character.

Knowing how to advance and retreat, being able to bend and stretch.

These are the qualities that the Viper gang demand from their friends.

Following the punk, the two rode their horses to a hidden stronghold.

Bai Luo asked Shirley to stay outside with Radish, while he took off a bag hanging on the side of Radish, which contained money to buy a boat.

Of course, they brought Lilith with them. With this fairy, Bai Luo has absolute confidence.

In this way, under the leadership of the punk, Bai Luo and Issafeiya walked into a relatively hidden underground tavern.

“Isn’t this Ms. Faya, long time no see.”

The head of the Viper Gang was a burly, bald middle-aged man. His upper body was bare, revealing his bulging muscles and the delicate snake tattoo. Bai Luo noticed that the snake had nine heads.

“Are you bringing us business this time or are you here to accept business?”

Rhude put his feet on the table, which was a large round table that could be used for banquets

“Our deal can’t even be called a business.”

Faya is the alias of Issafeiya outside. The elder sister didn’t seem to care about Rhude’s taunting,

“You haven’t paid me for our last business.”

“So you’re here to collect debts?”

Rhude’s face turned gloomy, the surrounding thugs slightly moved forward, but Bai Luo quickly raised his hand,

“No, we are here to do business.”

Rhude looked at Bai Luo, he noticed that Issafeiya retreated upon hearing Bai Luo’s words.

“Oh, you’re the boss.”

Rhude was a little curious. He couldn’t figure out Bai Luo’s identity, but he knew a little about Faya’s accomplishments. A man who could be recognized by her is definitely not ordinary.

In fact, Issafeiya rarely reveals her true power as an Ardennes. The power she normally displays might not even be 5% of her true strength.

Otherwise, how dare Rhude be so arrogant.

“My name is Raja, I’m a businessman, but my business has been recently declining in the Iron Eagle, hence I intend to buy a few boats and sail into the sea to look for opportunities.”

“Sail into the sea…”

Rhude immediately noticed the loopholes in this young man’s rhetoric, “Then why don’t you take a cruise ship?”

“You are in the ‘field’, why do you inquire about this?”

“It’s okay, I won’t inquire. As long as you have money”

As soon as Rhude’s voice sounded, Issafeiya threw out a pouch, which slid across the table and stopped in front of Rhude.

Rhude grabbed and weighed it casually, followed by a change in his expression,

“You…”

This pouch is packed with gold coins, at least forty or fifty coins, more than enough to buy a few boats.

Bai Luo’s requirements are not high. Three boats, each with a carrying capacity of 30 people.

It doesn’t matter if the internal space is small, they can squeeze with each other. The Ardennes aren’t pampered people, they all grew through untold hardships. Even the physically weak Schuster can withstand hardship.

After reaching the overseas islands, the Ardennes will usher in a better tomorrow.

“Smuggling, right?”

Rhude directly stated the purpose of Bai Luo and Issafeiya.

He closed the pouch, then crossed his legs and started casually and repeatedly throwing the pouch up.

“Do you still work as an informant for the nobles?”

“No, no, I have nothing to do with them. Furthermore, you smuggling whatever is also not my business.”

“Then about the ship…”

“Sure!”

“But…”

Rhude’s tone suddenly changed, “You have to pay more!”

Bai Luo frowned. Lilith who was laying on his shoulders, invisible, felt her master’s displeasure. Her black dress started fluttering without any wind.

Creatures like fairies aren’t just synonymous with beauty and dreams. In some fairy tales, they are more terrifying than devils. Their curses are terrifying enough to frighten brave men to death.

“Okay!”

Bai Luo is not short of money, nor does he need it. If the problem can be solved with money, then it isn’t a problem.

“Boom!”

Issafeiya got Bai Luo’s signal, and quickly put a box on the table. After opening it, a very familiar fragrance wafted throughout the room.

“Black pepper!”

Rhude hurriedly stood up, looking at the contents of the box in shock.

Issafeiya casually grabbed a handful and clattered it on the table, almost causing Rhude’s eyes to pop out from their socket.

“This…”

One of them rolled in front of Rhude. The burly bald man carefully picked it up and sniffed it, “This intoxicating fragrance… It’s definitely black pepper and top-grade!”

As the boss of the Viper Gang, Rhude’s quality of life is naturally not bad. Spices and the like aren’t very rare to him.

However, such a large box full of black pepper is a first! It should be around 5 kg, worth 200 small gold coins at least.

“Ha ha ha ha!!”

Rhude laughed loudly and said, “Little Four, take these two to the shipyard.”

Looking at the ecstatic Rhude, Bai Luo’s eyes became sharper and colder. He whispered in disappointment, “I order you to vanish.”

“Huh?! What’s going on?”

The black pepper in Rhude’s hand suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated. It wasn’t just it, all the black pepper inside the box and scattered across the table turned into smoke and dissipated.

If it was the second-generation black pepper or food that had already been eaten, Bai Luo can’t just make it disappear. However, the black pepper that is in front of him is not within this range. It had just recently been poured out by the sacred pouch.

“What just happened? You! What have you done?”

In the face of this sudden change and such an unbelievable occurrence, Rhude could no longer keep his composure. He looked at the two in disbelief,

“Who are you guys? And how did you do this?”

“You are too greedy!”

As soon as Bai Luo’s voice sounded, Issafeiya had already moved. Her speed was astonishingly fast. In just a fraction of a second, her silver-white knight sword had been brandished a dozen times.

“Puft! Puft! Put!.”

The sound of falling to the ground sounded almost at the same time. Rhude watched with wide eyes as his subordinates fell into the ground clutching their slashed throats, twitching and struggling on the ground, releasing sickening gurgling sounds,

“Cough, Argh…”

“How could you be so fast?!”

Issafeiya’s superhuman strength surpassed Rhude’s imagination. He never thought that Faya, seemingly just an ordinary mercenary, would have such terrifying power.

“Ahh!”

Rhude wanted to run, but soon realized that an invisible force was enveloping him, 

“Huh?!”

The bald man slowly rose into the air. He constantly waved his limbs around, but couldn’t move an inch from his place.

Lilith, who was sitting on Bai Luo’s shoulders, snapped her fingers.

“Cluck!”

“Ahhhhh!!!”

Rhude’s heart-wrenching screams sounded in the next moment. His hands and feet were folded in reverse, tearing his flesh and shattering his bones.

‘What the hell is going on?’

‘How could such a thing happen!’

The sudden disappearance of the black pepper, and fairy magic, undoubtedly shattered Rhude’s worldview.

“Don’t worry, there’s a sound-blocking barrier around us. Your subordinates won’t be able to hear your screams.”

Bai Luo said as he looked coldly at Rhude. He slowly drew his sword.

“You are too greedy. Since you know that we are going to smuggle, then you should take us to the ship port, not some bullshit shipyard!!”

“I, I, I was wrong, don’t kill me, I’ll give you the ship you want! No matter how big or how many you want, I’ll give it to you!”

“Spare me, please spare me!”

Rhude’s wailing didn’t provoke the slightest ripple in Bai Luo’s heart. He raised his sword and ruthlessly chopped the man’s head.

In fact, according to the old man’s plan, they were never going to buy a ship from the beginning.

In fact, their plan, from the beginning to the end, was based on only one word – Rob!

However, if that’s the case, why didn’t they go directly to the port, but come looking for the Viper gang?

It’s simple, there are some human problems involved.

If the Ardennes directly rob the Viper Gang’s boat, then with this gang’s people still there, they will encounter some problems. Rhude is a very vengeful man. He will definitely look for ways to retaliate.

For example, chasing them, informing the nobles, putting bounties on their heads. Anyway, they will definitely never give up on getting revenge from the Ardennes.

Hence Bai Luo came up with a simple solution – kill him.

With Rhude dead, the Viper Gang had lost their leader. Their main goal in the next period would be to choose a new leader. The loss of a few ships is a small matter compared to this. 

In the same way, other people and forces wouldn’t work hard to find the boat of a force like the Viper Gang.

This is not a legal society. There’s no force within the city like the police. There are only the guards responsible for withholding the nobles’ interests.

There are no benefits in hunting the Ardennes that have robbed a ship, and would anyone do a job with no benefits?

So what if their ship had been stolen, no one but the Viper Gang had suffered.

In addition, there is some animosity between uncle Saros, Issafeiya, and the Viper Gang. Since they can complete their goal and get revenge by the way, then why not do it?

“Let’s go.”

Bai Luo and Issafeiya left without looking back, their figures disappearing in the aisle, thanks to Lilith’s invisibility spell.

The members of the Viper Gang waiting outside the room didn’t even know that the two had left.

Of course, they also wouldn’t know that Rhude and the thugs in the room have died. They will only think that Rhude and the others have somewhat disappeared and that their whereabouts are unknown.
