At 2:30 in the afternoon, the civil servants in Monitor Lizard City go to work.

Like all countries, civil servants under parliamentary monarchies are among the most leisurely and most stable earners.

They go to work at nine in the morning, leave at five in the afternoon, and have a two-and-a-half-hour lunch break at noon.

However, in the detention center of the Monitor Lizard City Police Department today, not a single civil servant dared to take a lunch break. After hearing the news that the Prime Minister would come in the afternoon, some people didn't even eat lunch, their uniforms were meticulously arranged, and they stood upright on both sides of the aisle.

Just as the bell rang for work in the afternoon, the Prime Minister's car drove to the gate of the detention center. Looking back and forth, I saw the director with a sore neck in three steps and rushed forward in two steps, rushing to open the door for the Prime Minister before the driver.

A few minutes later, surrounded by prison guards, Chen Xing came to the cell where Ricardo was imprisoned.

This is a single room with very few things and very clean. Ricardo was sitting in a folding chair, dressed handsomely in pure white generals and military uniforms. At this moment, he turned his face up, looking at the sky outside the upper iron window. The expression is leisurely and indifferent, it seems that it is not in the prison, but in the back garden of the home.

"Bang!"

The prison guard opened the iron door of the cell, and Chen Xing walked in. The other party didn't respond, maintaining a cold and handsome sitting posture, motionless.

Chen Xing stood there and observed for a while, he didn't intend to waste too much time, he said directly, "Have you thought about it?"

Ricardo turned his head slowly, glanced at him, and moved his thin lips, "Think about it."

"Your answer is." Chen Xing snatched a chair from the prison guard, put it on the opposite side, and sat down.

"I heard that you repaired the cemetery for her." Ricardo replied nonchalantly.

"Your news is quite well-informed!" While speaking, Chen Xing glanced left and right subconsciously.

Just like when the earth entered the detention center to confiscate his mobile phone, Ricardo was deprived of his black watch before he came in, and he was unable to communicate with the outside world by normal means.

It's just a simple sentence, but it has many meanings.

The news can get into the ears of the other party, which means that the prison guards have his people.

Only a very few people know what he told Lao K to do. This means that the whole city has each other's eyeliner.

Or, the other party has some special, unknown investigative methods.

"Don't forget, I am an eagle owl, and what eagle owls are good at" Ricardo's pair of ice eyes flickered slightly, "that is to observe in secret, looking for opportunities"

"You should find a better place for her," Chen Xing said.

"Find a better place?" Ricardo sneered, "Under the eyes of your women, send a commoner girl to the royal cemetery, and then wait for them to be in a bad mood, and come to dig the grave and whip the corpse. ?"

"It's not as exaggerated as you think." Chen Xing said, "They are still rational."

But in fact, when he said this sentence, he didn't have any confidence in his heart. Women are jealous, even at the king level.

Ricardo sighed, "Everyone has already left, is there any point in doing this again? The better place, the lesser place, is just a place to bury bones."

"It's better than doing nothing," Chen Xing said.

"Do you think that by doing this, your sins will be alleviated?" Ricardo mocked.

"I'm not here to grind my lips with you today," Chen Xing reminded.

"Okay, I'll answer you now." Ricardo turned his head, looked at him deeply, and said, "The reconciliation you hope will never be possible."

"However, as a courtier, as a soldier, I will do my duty."

"If you're just worried, will the holiday between us affect the country, I can answer you, no."

"Compared to the glory of the family, my personal emotions are nothing at all."

"You don't need to doubt a family member's sense of responsibility to his family."

"If this answer is satisfactory to you, please let me return to my post. Falcons can't be without eyes." Having said this, Ricardo nodded slightly, expressing his surrender.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Chen Xing's face. The meaning of the other party is very clear, that is, the public and private are clear. In public affairs, in public affairs, in private affairs, water and fire are incompatible.

But this is almost the best result. The grudge between him and the other party is not to be put down as soon as it can be put down. In fact, let him reconcile with the other party, he himself is not willing.

The hatred for stealing his wife and the hatred for killing his father are inseparable, and they are the same to everyone.

But he still wanted to try harder, he would rather give the army to the man in front of him than to Lexi Maris.

Because Lacey is crazy. He had no doubt that the other party would be pregnant with his child and assassinate him with a big belly, as long as the opportunity was right.

"You don't plan to compete with the Fox of Qingqiu?" Chen Xing threw the bait.

"Although I don't care about those false names, my ranking has always been higher than Lin Yuanzheng." Ricardo said calmly.

"So you don't dare to confront him head-on?" Chen Xing used the aggressive method. Although for a guy with a good head, agitation can't make them lose their cool, but it can also be regarded as a means of humiliation. No matter how smart people are, for the sake of the family's glory, they have to take over.

This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

"You want to promote me to be the chief commander, just like Bai Ye Fenghua?" Ricardo asked in surprise. People with high IQ and EQ often only need a little bit of information to guess the other party's intentions.

"Aren't you afraid, I will take revenge on you after I take power?" Ricardo leaned forward and looked into the other's eyes.

Chen Xing sneered, "Didn't you say that you attach great importance to your family?"

"Unless you and your family have the ability to fight against the Supreme, and still" he stretched out two fingers, "double!"

Ricardo disagreed, "Can you guarantee that they will always be on your side?"

Chen Xing narrowed his eyes and said **** for tat, "This point, you don't need to worry about it."

"That's fine, I understand." Ricardo retracted his contemptuous expression and nodded, "I accept your arrangement."

"Someone!" Chen Xing shouted, and the director who was guarding outside immediately rushed in with two prison guards.

The three of them stared at Ricardo, as if they would pounce on him at any time and overwhelm each other on the ground.

"Untie the shackles to the commander!"

The director and the two prison guards were stunned for a while, before they came to their senses, and hurried out to find the keys, and then untied the Grappnier shackles on Ricardo's body.

After a while, Chen Xing and Ricardo were now at the gate of the detention center.

"Before you make an official announcement, we have one more thing to do." Ricardo said suddenly.

Chen Xing frowned, expressing his limited patience.

"Didn't you ask me last time, what's the name of that gang?" Ricardo said.

Chen Xing raised his brows, "Have you changed your mind?"

"Maybe we are indeed not qualified to judge anyone." Ricardo looked up at the sky, his eyes were a little red, as if to prevent tears from flowing, "but as you said"

"Better than doing nothing at all."

Chen Xing's eyes narrowed, and he made a gesture of invitation, "Eagle owl, lead the way!"

When he thought of the way that stupid woman was deceived and bullied, an uncontrollable anger emerged in his heart, his eyes shot coldly, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

Half an hour later, the two followed the directions of the satellite navigation map to the city center of Monitor Lizard, an old commercial building at the end of Commercial Street.

This is the base of the underground gang "Takigawa-gumi". The Takigawa Group was originally a loose organization composed of a group of Japanese wandering warriors. It mainly made gray income. It made a living by selling intelligence, issuing loan sharks and slightly illegal underground transactions. Later, it gradually absorbed members and developed into a sojourn in the Red Dragon Principality. Civil forces in the grey area.

A few young people smoking cigarettes squatted at the door. The outfits are similar, with a shaved head, shiny leather shoes, and a designer suit with a fancy shirt. His eyes were fierce and unruly, and he looked at the pedestrians around him, whistling when he met a woman who was a little good-looking, and at a glance, he knew that he was not a serious person.

Pedestrians met them and avoided them, so as not to get involved with this group of hooligans.

Seeing Chen Xing and the two coming, one of the hooligans stood up and blocked their way.

"What do you want to do?" The other party twisted his neck and asked fiercely.

"I want to see your boss." A low and peaceful voice came from under the white dance mask.

The hooligan folded his arms and shook one foot, "Are you looking for our team leader Takigawa?" He looked up and down at Chen Xing, who was wearing a mask, and raised his brows, "Is there an appointment?"

"In the entire Dragon Saliva River, there is no one who needs me to make an appointment to meet." Chen Xing said lightly.

Faced with such an arrogant answer, the hooligan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, listen to all of you, what he's talking about!"

Several other hooligans also laughed loudly.

"Who does he think he is, and whoever he wants to see!" "Does he think he is the prime minister when he wears a mask?" "Hahaha, as if he is the prime minister, I am the king!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me." Chen Xing turned his head and glanced back, and Ricardo walked forward knowingly, facing several hooligans, "You should know him."

Looking at the tall and straight figure of the other party, the face with sword eyebrows and stars, the hooligans were stunned at first, and they looked at them carefully for a few seconds, and then they were terrified, and they rolled back a few steps.

"He is, he is Lee, Lee!"

A few hooligans were pale and incoherent. The person wearing the white prom mask is not necessarily the powerful Prime Minister, but the face in front of him is a real man. Even if you look around the world, it is a well-known existence.

One of the four major military geniuses in the red earth continent, the eagle owl on the shoulder of the dragon, Ricardo!

In a blink of an eye, in the Takigawa team leader's office on the top floor, the door was knocked open with a "bang", and two subordinates rushed in.

"Team leader, it's not good!"

Due to the panic, one of his subordinates knocked over the shelf on which the tea set was placed, and the teapots, bowls and various bottles and jars fell to the ground.

The leader of the Takigawa team, just as the prime-aged Kuroda stood up abruptly and was about to reprimand the two incompetent subordinates when he saw two straight figures walking in.

His pupils shrank involuntarily, focusing on Ricardo's face, and then on to the white ball mask.

Goichi Kuroda just turned seventy-five years old this year. For a strong man who entered the sanctuary before the age of fifty, seventy-five is the prime of life, and the cell activity is similar to that of an ordinary man in his thirties and forties. almost.

For the evolutionary, he can still maintain his peak state and fight for another fifty years.

"leader, leader"

The two subordinates wanted to say something, but they were so frightened that their hearts were broken, and they swallowed the second half.

"You're Goichi Kuroda from the Takigawa Group?"

The man in the white ball mask looked over and asked in a flat tone.

There was no change in the expression on Kuroda Goichi's face, not even the slightest surprise. However, the hands that naturally fell behind the desk clenched their fists tightly, with blue veins on the surface, panicking to the extreme.

More than half a year ago, a woman named Su Xuefei committed suicide and went on TV. He didn't care about it at first, but then, a little leader nicknamed "Poison Dragon" and his younger brother who was often with him disappeared at the same time.

This matter caught his attention, and then he asked his subordinates to investigate, and it turned out that these two people actually cheated and blackmailed the canary named Su Xuefei in private, behind the back of the organization.

Look further down. The more he checked, the more alarmed he became. This woman is actually involved with the two big men of Monitor Lizard City at the same time. One Ricardo is amazing enough, and that Chen Xing is even more powerful and powerful.

He was terrified at the time. Offending one of these two people is more serious than exile in the Black Death Continent. Offending two at the same time, the consequences are unimaginable.

Even if the two subordinates did it behind his back, as the team leader, he was ineffective in management. This crime is enough for him to die a hundred times. Besides, Chen Xing was born in a wandering mercenary, so he would not tell him the law or reason at all.

So he immediately abandoned his family business and hid in New Edo.

But half a year later, the city was calm, as if nothing had happened.

So driven by luck, he returned to Monitor Lizard City, gathered his men, and resumed his old business.

It turned out that, before two months passed, the other party came to the door.

"I want to ask, are there any members of your team called 'Dulong' and 'Tigger'?"

Chen Xing was asking a question when there was a sudden shock above his head, the ceiling was torn apart, and a giant creature descended from the sky and landed between the two of them and Goichi Kuroda.

"Quack, quack!"

The giant creature was on all fours, with its mouth occupying most of its head, capable of swallowing a car in one bite.

Looking at it, it turned out to be a giant toad, lying on the ground, its cheeks bulging and making a dull thunderous snoring.

In the next second, the toad inhaled violently, objects in the office flew horizontally, and its body expanded several times at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an inflated balloon. When the expansion reached the limit, a sharp sound suddenly sounded.

I saw one after another khaki plume of smoke spewing out from the blowhole on the back of the toad, and the surroundings were instantly enveloped in smoke.

"Be careful, it's poisonous!"

Ricardo held a pair of hands, supporting a spherical psionic shield. Chen Xing teleported to the bottom of the floor, avoiding the poisonous smoke.

In the chaos, the giant toad jumped up with a "quack" and jumped to the top of the opposite building with its host on its back.

The weight of several tons smashed a large number of guardrails and ventilation equipment at once.

"Want to run?" Chen Xing looked at the big toad jumping on the roof through the window, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The tactical satellite overhead can make the opponent invisible.

Both of them had the means to track, so they were not in a hurry to chase, but returned to the street in a leisurely manner, requisitioned a sports car, and chased in the direction where Team Leader Takikawa fled.

About an hour later, an industrial area on the outskirts of Monitor Lizard City. A middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the old factory area. He looked in a hurry, looked around while walking, made sure no one was following him, and plunged into the factory.

This is a fortress-like warehouse transformed from an old factory building. It looks dilapidated on the outside, but it is covered with reinforced iron plates. It is completely transformed according to the standard of a military fortress.

The man entered the factory building and was immediately greeted by several heavily armed mercenaries.

"Leader!"

"Pack up and prepare to retreat!" Kuroda immediately ordered the retreat without delaying for half a second.

"Quick, we only have ten minutes, don't bring anything except valuables and dry food for a few days!"

Not to mention that there are more than 200 fully armed mercenaries here, even if he is given a thousand times more manpower, he has only one way to escape.

Fighting with the Great Demon King Chen Xing, he didn't even dare to think like that in a dream.

However, in less than three minutes, when the people in the refit warehouse were running back and forth and urgently packing up, the ground suddenly shook.

The vibrations were very rhythmic, one after another, as if an army was coming.

Everyone stopped and looked at each other, bewildered. Someone climbed up the iron shelf, looked out through the small window, and fell on the shelf in fright.

I saw the darkness outside, countless little green monsters wearing helmets holding wrenches and iron rods, manipulating various steam machines, like a tide, surrounded by three layers inside and outside.

Seeing such a scene, even the mercenaries armed to the teeth lost their fighting spirit and dared not even fire a gun.

Because it doesn't make sense at all, even if they shoot all the bullets in their bodies and warehouses, they can't do much damage to this army of tens of thousands of green monsters.

What's more, the steam goblin is the symbol of the double-faced demon **** Chen Xing. Only when his head was hit by a truck would he dare to challenge this man in Longxiaohe.

"The vicious dog of the Takigawa group, there is no cowardice!"

Kuroda just roared, summoned a giant toad, stood on its big head, jumped onto the roof of the warehouse, and faced the dense army of steam goblins.

"Secret technique, Great Fire Dragon!"

The giant toad inhaled sharply, and spewed a giant pillar of fire towards the approaching goblin army.

Wherever the pillar of fire went, it devastated and burned the goblins, turning them into scorched corpses with smoke all over the place in the blink of an eye.

However, the scope of the fire pillar is always limited, like a bamboo pole hitting an ant colony. Although it is powerful and smashes corpses all over the place, it is only a drop in the bucket. The gap caused by the attack is quickly closed, and the corpses of the companions are quickly drowned in the ants who are advancing one after another. among the group.

The fire-breathing lasted for dozens of seconds. When the giant toad tried to inhale again and burst into flames, several azure-blue streamers flew out from the army, ripped through the air, and slammed into the giant toad.

In the dazzling blue light, the giant toad let out a painful scream. On the attacked side, the huge body leaned off the ground and was almost knocked over.

It was followed by a rain of flintlock and cannonballs that made the entire roof look like fireworks.

The giant toad's fire-breathing attack was interrupted continuously, and he didn't even have a chance to inhale.

Seeing the situation at a glance, Kuroda was one-sided, and he was sure to lose. He pulled out the samurai sword from his waist and shouted at the two people in front of the army.

"Long live Takigawa!"

Takigawa, a remote place name in Xiaodongchuan, the hometown of the Han people, is the hometown of Japanese warriors.

Since there is only death, then die dignifiedly on the battlefield. This is the last salutation of the Japanese samurai.

Chen Xing stretched out his hand and smashed the tomahawk with an iron chain on the ground. A silver light flashed on Ricardo's hand beside him, and a gorgeous stabbing sword with a gauntlet appeared in his hand. The body swayed, swept like the wind, and stabbed at the opponent.

One person charged to the death, and the two attacked from left and right. With a crisp sound, a sharp blade flew into the sky.

Kuroda Gang held the half-half of the samurai sword in both hands, knelt down on his knees weakly, and said sullenly, "Kill me!"

Although he already had the consciousness of death, the other party put away his weapon.

"Give you a chance to live."

A dull voice came from above, and Goichi Kuroda raised his head in disbelief.

"Hand over half of your fortune."

"Then"

Chen Xing turned around, "The rest of your life will be spent in endless pursuit and fear until one day"

"You caught those two people."

"Remember!" He turned his head, his eyes were like a demon crawling out of hell, staring into the other's eyes, and saying word by word, "I want to live!"

When the army retreated, two figures disappeared at the door of the factory, and Kuroda, who gradually recovered, realized that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment, he clearly knew that if he couldn't get those two damn, wise guys back, he would live in **** all his life. Even if he hid in the ends of the earth, he would still spend every day in fear. die.
