All-Professional Master of Darkness
Chapter 257 Gossip
Fade and the others left in despair, without even saying a harsh word.
Boya and others are not surprised either. After all, Master Haierbu can prove that Yizuer is definitely not a target that ordinary professionals can kill together. Who dares not to believe Lord Helb, one of the only two heirs to the title.
But Lan Wu felt that this matter seemed not that simple.
Fade and others made a lot of noise. In addition, Boya's residence is only three streets away from the market. Human beings are born with a curiosity factor in their genes. So there is never a shortage of melon-eating people in the world. There was such a big commotion here, and he believed it had spread to most of the demon fortress.
Calculating carefully, it has been almost a week since Helb returned to the Demon Fortress. No matter how busy things are, I have already made an appointment with him to wait in the Demon Fortress, and it is impossible to go out suddenly again. How could he not hear about such a small or big thing happening in the Demonic Fortress as if he was living in seclusion?
Lan Wu suppressed this little doubt in his heart and did not discuss it with Boya and others. After all, he is one of the only two heirs to the title in the Demon Fortress, so he might be really busy, discussing the mutation of Yi Zuer with Archangel Tyrell.
The incident seemed to have just passed. But the melon-eating masses did not let this matter go by just like that. Over the years, with the improvement of generations of senior professionals, although the Demon Fortress has no fixed laws, it has spontaneously formed many unspoken rules. Among them, taking the spoils that everyone worked together to steal is second only to malicious murder and taking wealth.
Although the people who eat melons have not experienced it personally, everyone is not stupid. Just from the dejected silence of Fade and others, we knew that this incident was just a farce... No, it was a serious incident.
blackmail.
This is also a big crime in the Fortress of Demons. Leaving aside the fact that outside the fortress, no one wants to be blackmailed. Putting yourself in their shoes, no one wants to be forced to hand over the equipment and gold coins they exchanged for their lives for nothing. For a time, everyone in the Demon Fortress was furious, looking for Fade and others who had come to blackmail Lan Wu. However, Fade and others obviously realized that they had found the wrong target for blackmail and had already fled. They were just waiting for time to calm down the storm before returning to the Demon Fortress.
But they underestimated the perseverance of the people who eat melons. No one who can survive in the demon fortress till now is good at it. Of course, Boya may have to be excluded. If someone is blackmailed by a group of fraudsters today, it may be their turn tomorrow. What is intolerable is unbearable. If you don't understand this matter, how can you safely experience the adventure in the Demonic Fortress? It may even breed a group of villains who work together to blackmail others. The relatively peaceful atmosphere of the Demonic Fortress in the past is bound to be fatally affected.
The anger of the people eating melons naturally inevitably reached the ears of Lan Wu and others. Boya is sad. The first people to be criticized by others were his best friends Fa De and others who grew up playing together but eventually parted ways due to different ideas.
In this regard, Lan Wu didn't know how to persuade him, so he had no choice but to keep silent about the incident and recuperate. After half a week of recuperation, the injury recovered smoothly and he was able to simply pick up knives and forks. It's just that I haven't been able to use my strength yet. While he was resting and recovering, he felt more and more weird.
Half a week had passed since the incident, but Helb still seemed to be missing, with no trace of anyone at all. Even the melon-eating crowds that swept through most of the Demonic Fortress were unable to find him. Even the other successor to the title seemed to have disappeared at the same time, failing to step forward to lead the Demonic Fortress in clearing out the internal filth.
Gradually, the direction of public opinion in the Demon Fortress gradually changed. The former relatives and friends of Fade and others did not dare to stand up and speak for them before, for fear that they would be labeled as one of the fraudsters by the angry melon-eaters. Now that a few days have passed and no confirmation has come from Helb, these people immediately became active, publicly clearing the ground for Fade and others.
For a time, rumors began to spread.
How can the melon-eating masses be willing to give up? After all, it is a matter of self-interest. How can we rest assured if we do not forcibly suppress this unhealthy trend? Maybe it will be his turn to be the next victim. As a result, the demon fortress became chaotic. The two sides argued endlessly, and the situation gradually became unclear.
Knowing that there were others washing the floor for Fade and others, Lan Wu shook his head and smiled bitterly. His most powerful witness is Helb. But this old guy didn’t know where he was, so he didn’t stand up to prove it. Apart from this powerful witness, there is no evidence to prove that Yizuer and his servants were not killed by Fade and others and his cooperation.
Days passed, and neither Helb nor Jamela, another successor to the title, appeared in public view. As a result, the scrubbers of Fade and others were greatly invigorated, and they spared no effort to clamor for Fade and others to be secretly threatened by Lan Wu. They had to choose to swallow their anger and forcibly gain momentum for Fade and others.
As the saying goes, a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.
As time passed, most people had forgotten the scene when Fade and others came to blackmail Lan Wu. Misled by these public opinions, some people chose to wait and see, while others changed their stance and began to support the land-washing party and protest against Fa De and others. In less than a week, the situation took a turn for the worse, with only less than a quarter of the number of supporters who firmly believed in blackmail by Fad and others.
The reversal of public opinion once again pushed Lan Wu into the limelight. Every day, many land-washing parties come to harass the house, and all kinds of obscene words are thrown at Lan Wu, who is resting and recovering inside, and even affects Boya and others.
"I'll go out and tell them clearly!" Boya looked indignant.
"It's useless." Weina rolled her eyelids, curled up on the sofa and spat bubbles: "They have all been completely misled, believing that what those despicable guys in France and Germany said is the truth. Are you going out to argue with them? Unless You can split their heads open to see if there are any brains inside."
"But let them slander Lan Wu like this?" Boya regretted it very much. Lan Wu should not have chosen to remind those despicable guys in the first place. Damn this dirty and despicable guy.
"Don't worry about me." Lan Wu smiled casually and carefully moved his almost healed arms. This change in public opinion has been seen many times before on Earth. The people who eat melons are the people who eat melons, and it is normal to have an unsteady stance. Once irrefutable evidence emerges, public opinion will be one-sided again. He was already used to it, so how could he bother himself over such a trivial matter.
"My hands will be healed in two days. Then I'll go talk to Master Haierbu." Lan Wu moved his somewhat stiff shoulders and said with a smile, "If he still refuses to show up, then I'll leave the group of demons. The fort is ready.”
"How is that possible!" Boya was indignant and denied it flatly.
Lan Wu shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying a word. This incident was not a big deal to him. Since so many people in the Demon Fortress choose to believe in Fa De and others, let them go. At worst, we can buy a batch of equipment and return to Rogge Camp. After all, the portal to Harrogath is controlled by the Archangel Tyrael. If you can't find Tyrell, then you can't go to Harrogath.
With a bang, the door was suddenly knocked open. Lan Wu and others were taken aback, and when they looked back, it was Taylor who rushed in like a storm.
"It's bad, Master Helb came forward. He denied that he had ever seen us."
