Chapter 292 - 124: The Important Sword Must Be Arranged (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
The vast underground passage was quiet.
Only the faint sounds of flowing water and wind could be heard.
Seven Brown watched the man who was bandaging her wounds with trembling
eyes.
They had only met twice before.
But he had saved her life three times now.
They weren’t exactly familiar with each other but they couldn’t be considered strangers either.
And yet, there was little conversation between them.
Suddenly, she spoke, “Abel claims his Breathing Method is some form of golden breathing. But according to the old men in the gang, it originates from a high-quality fragment of a centuries-old secret skill. I am not an Air Skill Master, so I didn’t pay much heed to it. I’ll ask around when we get back, I’m positive I can get more information for you.”
Hearing this, Leonard Churchill, who was currently bandaging, laughed,
“Great.”
He then added, “But, we might need to move first.”
Though they had killed the pursuer, they weren’t sure if their previous actions had alerted someone else.
Given the current situation, the appearance of anyone would pose a great risk. Seven Brown’s expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she said, “I think I might be able to walk now.”
Leonard Churchill looked at her and knew she must be pushing herself.
But without further ado, he helped her down from the cross.
No adverse reaction.
It seemed the problem was completely related to the scorpion.
Both of them sighed in relief.
Seven Brown had a splint around her leg, standing up was quite a struggle. Churchill guessed her intention to return on foot, “Do you want to go back?”
“Yes.”
Seven Brown didn’t hide anything and nodded earnestly, “This incident will have great repercussions. If I don’t show myself, a lot of people could die tonight.”
Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised to hear this.
The gang had attempted to kill Seven Brown as a strike against Lord Nine Brown, the leader of the Flood Gang.
The ambush was successful, and now Seven Brown had disappeared. If she didn’t show up, a major clash between the two gangs was inevitable.
The main problem was, it seemed a third party was manipulating events behind the scenes.
If both gangs really came to blows, it would just play right into their hands.
So, she had to come forward.
Seven Brown tried to walk but it was very difficult. Despite this, she never thought about asking for help.
After all, she was the Elder Miss of the Flood Gang, she had never been weak to the point of needing support from others.
As she pondered on how to leave, Churchill said, “Fine. Let me take you out.” He had saved her life. Now he needed her to make good on her offer concerning the Breathing Method.
But leaving her to go alone in her condition, she might get killed off by any enemy encountered along the way.
Best to see things through to the end.
With that, he picked Seven Brown up as easily as he would a sack of sand.
Just like he did when they were on their way there.
Seven Brown, who was suddenly lifted up, appeared flustered, “I…” Before she could finish her sentence of refusal, Leonard Churchill was already carrying her out of the crater.
“You…”
Seeing that he didn’t intend on letting her speak, Seven Brown didn’t say anything else either.
She wasn’t overly sentimental.
Leonard Churchill didn’t hesitate even for a moment, he sprinted all the way with her.
Knowing she was injured, he made sure her shoulders felt no impact while he ran.
That was how he quickly left the Underground Space with her.
In no time, both of them arrived at the elevated bridge where they were ambushed earlier.
At this moment, all kinds of modified motorcycles and armored vehicles covered the bridge.
Hundreds of members of Flood Gang, dressed in all kinds of peculiar outfits, were searching for something everywhere.
They had inspected the scene and recreated the battle events.
-Damn it! It was a trap set by the Brotherhood. They robbed the Commercial
Fleet to capture Elder Miss!”
“This mark is from Abel’s Tiger Cannon Fist. Brothers, sound the horn. We’re snuffing the Brotherhood tonight!”
“Damn them!”
“Search everyone. The enemy may not be far away.”
Leonard Churchill and Zoe Brown watched from a distance, confirming these were members of Flood Gang.
Among them were several Second Tier figures, displaying strong auras. Given the circumstances, if she had appeared any later, the city might have been at war.
Time was of the essence, Seven Brown was ready to step forward. Knowing that Leonard Churchill was a fugitive and didn’t want to reveal himself, she told him, “Wait for me here. I just need to explain a few things.” Leonard Churchill had originally planned not to get involved since he believed that the gangsters in Sinless City wouldn’t remain calm after the day’s events. Since he had brought her all the way here, he decided to involve himself, “You deal with the situation first. I’ll come find you in a day or two.” The information about the Breathing Method could wait for a day.
Upon hearing this, Seven Brown wasn’t pleased and said seriously, “I, Seven Brown, always repay kindness and revenge on my enemies! You saved me, I have to repay this favor. Wait for me.”
As she spoke, she radiated a strong gangster vibe.
Churchill found this amusing.
Seven Brown’s character contrasted greatly between situations.
Although she seemed like a regular girl moments ago, now she appeared to be regaining her intimidating gangster princess demeanor.
He didn’t have a specific destination anyway, so waiting was fine with him.
Thus, he carried Seven Brown to the main road.
And with that, the gang leader’s daughter limped her way toward the crowd. Leonard Churchill, on the other hand, hid himself in the dark.
He watched with interest the members of the Flood Gang.
If he had guessed correctly, the Flood Gang wouldn’t be calm either.
As Seven Brown came out, the crowd of Flood Gang members widened their eyes in disbelief.
After confirming it was her, the crowd immediately became noisy.
“Elder Miss is there!”
“Brother Seven, are you hurt? Damn it, did the Brotherhood do this to you, we’ll take revenge for you!”
