A strange world

Chapter 942 Chapter 173. Gray Gloves

The city guards who broke into Xianyu Street caused a chaos and almost clashed with the gang members guarding the street.

Fortunately, they remembered Francois's warning not to cause trouble and didn't stop him - they couldn't have stopped him.

Spencer, who was surrounded by his men, came to the front of the big house and saw the people hurried back, staring at Francois: "Are you their leader?"

"I am."

Spencer waved his hand to tell the people around him to move away, and said in a playful tone: "You Liberty City people are so brave, you actually went to Star City to recruit"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Francois looked calm.

"You don't know?" Spencer slowly circled Francois, "You suddenly appeared in Star City and did these things..."

"I'm just a nobleman passing by."

"Fart!" Spencer suddenly shouted angrily, and the city guards who followed him raised their weapons.

The gang members realized it later and nervously confronted them.

Spencer circled back to Francois: "Why would you give money and food to these civilians if you are not from Free City!"

Francois was speechless. Was it because of a "good deed" that he was exposed?

He calmly glanced at the city guards brought by Spencer. Their equipment was not well-equipped, and their old leather armor showed signs of repair. But the gang members on his side were even worse... He should be able to take action suddenly. The casualties were controlled within a certain range, but the real trouble was the disappearance of a city guard officer, which would soon lead to an investigation by Xing'er City.

Before setting off, you should learn how to disguise yourself from Dina, even if you bring a few magic scrolls of transformation...

Francois' silence was regarded as fear by Spencer. At this time, he suddenly lowered his voice: "You don't want your identity to be exposed..."

"What?"

Francois raised his eyes.

Spencer gestured with his fingers on his chest: "If you are willing to pay something, maybe I am willing to keep your secret..."

"You want money?"

Is he just here for blackmail?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Spencer shook his finger and made a tsk sound. "That's too ugly to say. I prefer to call it, a ransom payment given by a noble to himself. Nobles have immunity from war, don't they?"

Francois gave up the idea of ​​killing the city guard here. He and Annan agreed on this point: problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

He still has some money, although it is reserved for buying supplies, but he should be able to keep the residents alive for a while by catching rats.

Francois did not doubt Spencer's integrity. After all, he could have done it first and then searched the body...

"Okay, I'll give you the ransom fee, but you can't stop me anymore..."

Spencer showed a smile that seemed very familiar to Francois, patted him on the shoulder, and took the initiative to walk towards the big house.

Francois followed, took out his money bag and threw it to him.

Spencer weighed his money bag and walked out with a satisfied smile: "I will come again tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Spencer turned around in pretending to be surprised: "You don't think that for fifty gold coins you want me to keep your secret for the rest of your life, do you? Look at this place, what a cozy place it is, it would be a pity if it was destroyed."

The undisguised threat made Francois's eyes turn cold.

"Don't look at me like that." Spencer didn't care at all. "I know what you are thinking, but if I were you, I would never take action against a city guard who shows up in the city lord's mansion every day..."

"Fifty gold coins a day is already very cheap, right?"

Spencer left with the city guards, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other.

"It's okay, continue with your business." Francois said, looking at their retreating figures.

It seemed like he had suffered a big loss, but Spencer's performance gave Francois a sudden ambition...

Mobilizing the masses is useful, but it is too slow. If officials and nobles can be won over... the blade of freedom will not be water without a source or a tree without roots.

…

Nuer followed Spencer back to the station and finally found a chance to get in front of him: "Sir Spencer..."

"Why are you still here? Oh..." Spencer seemed to remember something afterward, opened the drawer, took out a silver coin and threw it to Noor.

"You did a good job and this is for you."

Noor's smile was stiff. It cost him 1 silver coin to bribe the doorman to come in!

He smiled again and said: "Sir Spencer, you also know how expensive things are outside..."

"You're right, you deserve this." Spencer tossed another silver coin.

The corners of Nuer's mouth twitched as he held two silver coins. He couldn't open his mouth to ask for more, so he had to take the opportunity to ask: "Sir Spencer, I have wanted to follow you for a long time..."

"It depends on your performance."

Spencer yawned, and Noor said wisely: "Then I'll go back first."

"Um."

Spencer watched Noor go out, stretched out his palm to the cronies standing outside the door, and crossed it in front of his throat.

The knowing henchman followed Noor away who was still immersed in joy.

Spencer sat back in his chair and rested his legs on the table.

He doesn't hate greedy people, but it's better for guys who are as greedy as him to die.

…

Francois didn't have much time to waste.

The money in his hand was only enough to pay the ransom for one day, and it was impossible to earn this money by relying on Xianyu Street. He simply kept only two days' money and used the rest to exchange for supplies.

The reward was that he successfully controlled three streets on the third day of sneaking into Xing'er City, and expanded the members of the "Salted Fish Gang" to 300 people, but the price was that he had no money.

As a result, on the fourth day, Spencer sent someone to the "Salted Fish House" to deliver a letter.

[The magnanimous Spencer knew that you had no money, and he allowed you to do something to compensate for the money. Don't ask why, tools don't need to ask questions, you just need to do it. ]

A name and address were attached to the back of the letter.

"Who knows who German is?"

Lame Babu didn't know, but Little Smo knew German, saying that he was the captain of the city guard and was favored as a new candidate for the city guard.

So it seems that Spencer regarded himself as a gray glove to solve his enemies?

It's not impossible... There are few good nobles in the Kingdom of Recaner, and German is a businessman who secretly buys and sells people. There is no burden to kill him, and Francois also solved several accomplices for free.

German's property also made Francois a small fortune, buying more supplies to feed more and more people.

On the second day, Francois observed the result. Of course, Spencer would not care about the death of his enemies. He just said that they were a group of wandering bandits and caught a few scapegoats.

The cooperation between Francois and Spencer gradually stabilized. When he had money, he bought supplies. When he had no money, he made money by doing dirty work for Spencer.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the Free Blade was getting stronger day by day.

On the tenth day after Francois came to Xinger City, Spencer solved all his enemies.

Without prey, the hunting dog was useless...
