Chapter 739 Thoughts and another chance encounter
Claire, who was secluded in the river, had no idea that his detailed location had been speculated. When night fell, Claire climbed out of the river and entered the upper floor and began routine investigation.
Compared with the huge lower middle class and the poor, although the upper area is only one-quarter of the lower area, it is quite large. Claire, who has always known that he is not Guerkate's opponent, has set his primary killing target on Philebos.
Although the other party is one of the three famous giants in the Free City, compared to Gerkate, who can defeat even Longga with the power of gems, like a monster, Filibers is always just an ordinary businessman, and he is not young anymore, except for being rich and powerful.
As long as you can find Philibos, Claire is confident that he will use the power of gems to kill Philibos with one blow, but Philibos has many secret residences in the upper area, and every time Philibos rests in different places, it is impossible to determine the exact location of Philibos. After all, Philibos, as a large slave merchant, has too many enemies on the entire continent. His selling of alien slaves made the Holy See hate him, and the selling of human slaves made the Holy See also the Holy See dislike him. Even in the Free City, there are too many people who are destroyed because of him, who want to be broken into pieces. Especially after the orc riot and the arson he created, Philibos almost completely hidden during this period.
Since they are the three giants of Free City, even those intelligence dealers with great powers rarely get their news. Now Claire has to find a way to sneak into the upper area to search for any valuable information.
It was not difficult to enter the upper area with the help of gems, but when Claire was active in the upper area, it was impossible for Claire to always use gems to cover his body. In addition, the upper area, as a wealthy class, is much higher than the lower area in terms of security patrols. At night, Claire, wearing a black cloak and a mask, could only walk and stop and avoid the guards.
As he grew deeper and deeper, Claire found that his current identity made it less and less convenient for him to walk outside. He has not yet been able to obtain a legal identity in the free city. Whether it is a slave or a criminal, he can only live in the darkness. Whenever the day comes, he can only hide in the waterway to study and sleep. He dared not come out to move quietly until night falls.
In the upper area, the world of rich people is the night of the rich, and many bustling downtown areas are all over the city. There are well-dressed nobles and rich people everywhere. People like me wearing black cloaks and masks will immediately become the target of search once they walk over. Many places cannot be approached at all. Even if they barely enter with the power of gems, their bodies cannot last long.
And without a relatively legal identity, it is difficult to do anything in a free city.
Originally, the way to trade stolen goods in exchange for money through the black street was temporarily blocked, but Claire still has some money to support for a while, but by stealing some scattered cash stored in the store can only meet the needs of food purchases at most, and the money for various intelligence is not a small amount. Now, in addition to cash, the most expensive jewelry and gold is the most. If intelligence dealers are unwilling to collect precious items such as gems, gold and other valuables as rewards, then Claire probably has to pay attention to going to the bank.
“Here is ┉┉”
On the way back after the investigation, Claire unconsciously found that he had actually walked to a familiar place, which was the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce that he had visited before.
By the flower bed, Claire looked at the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce not far away and became a little lost. After successfully stealing some things from the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce last time, Claire also collected some information about the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce before learning that this chamber of Commerce has become famous recently in Free City. At first, it completed a huge trade of 5 billion lions in an instant. Recently, it launched a high-purity therapeutic pharmacy, which was in a position to challenge the Free City Pharmacists Association.
What surprised Claire the most was that the president of the chamber of commerce was actually a boy named Lelouch Lampeluch, who was only a few years older than him.
A beautiful figure emerged in Claire's mind. The beautiful brunette girl who had never seen in her life also learned her name. Buyani Lampelluch is the sister of President Lelouch. Now there are rumors throughout the Free City that she has a beautiful face that is more beautiful than an elves.
A more beautiful face than an elf┉┉
Yes! Claire believes that a girl is indeed qualified to be described like this. When he first met her, his obsession with swearing to avenge Longga seemed to have been diluted.┉┉┉ However, it is precisely because of this that Claire hates his weakness even more. Whether it is * or spiritual.
Although he was puzzled about why a quiet girl's space ring contained hundreds of millions of Rien's wealth, Claire still felt guilty about the girl's stolen things.
In this way, Claire quietly hid himself in the darkness and stared at the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce with a blurred look. He was obviously the same age as Lelouch, but he had great wealth and power and had a beautiful sister. He even had his own castle in the twisted and hideous city of Free City. He was like a pride of heaven. The god seemed to have given him all his favor.
I was born a slave and had never seen my parents since I was a child. The only thing I had in my memory was the pain caused by endless reprimand and whipping. The whole world was a dark world without color to me. It was not until Longga appeared that I finally realized that there was still warmth in this world, but now the only warmth that comforted me was also taken away by the city without mercy.
This different life made Claire inexplicably feel jealous. Lelouch, the president of the Blade Wings Chamber of Commerce, walked in the light and enjoyed countless praises and possessed all the beautiful things in the world. He could only lie dormant in the dark and be arrested and hunted, and even could not even show his appearance.
It is enviable and makes people want to have everything he has.
Claire not only grabbed the gem hanging on his chest, but the blue gem seemed to sense what Claire thoughts were slightly resonating with.
It seems like I'm going to see which beautiful girl is like this, and I'm just taking her away and asking her to ┉┉
"Yes, I really want to get all this┉┉ but I will never forget my original intention┉┉”
Suddenly Claire opened his eyes and grabbed the gem: "┉You are seducing me, wanting me to follow the deepest inner world and abuse your power, and finally welcoming the moment of my destruction. Are you trying to break free from me?"
The resonance of the gems did not weaken but became more and more active, just like a person answered the answer "yes" to Claire's inquiry without hesitation. Claire stared at the gem in his hand with a complicated expression. This gem not only had a power that did not belong to this world, but also seemed to have an uncertain self-awareness.
"If you really want to break free from me, then help me complete my revenge, and I will abandon you forever!"
Claire looked at the gem and said to himself. The gem has powerful mysterious power, but it is always a dead object. If no one uses it, he can only stay quietly and do nothing. Although Claire can feel that the gem will always tease the darkness deep in his heart inadvertently, as long as his will is firm and untempted, it can do nothing.
Claire left without looking back, although the obsession in his heart longing to meet the beautiful girl was very strong, another obsession called revenge still prevailed. Claire was unwilling to see the girl because he felt very scared, afraid that the obsession in his heart would be wiped out by the girl's tenderness after seeing the beautiful girl.
Just as Claire had just left, a black shadow that had jumped from the sky stopped instantly. Under the cover of the night, the eyes that seemed to emit red and firmly locked Claire with ruthlessness, just like a hunter who had been searching for for a long time finally found the prey he wanted to catch the most.
There will be no mistake┉┉ There will be no mistake┉┉┉ It is the same as the situation that night!!>
Although that night just glanced at the other person inadvertently, the figure in tonight was so similar that it made the memories buried deep in my mind recall quickly!
The figure who ran past his eyes┉┉That night, he also ran through the same street late at night, wearing a black cloak, exuding an incongruous atmosphere. The only difference is that there was no rain tonight, but the scene in front of him was so familiar that it could overlap with the picture of the sun.
In an instant, the black figure immediately changed its direction. Even though the destination was less than fifty meters away in front of me, it was like a ghost living in the darkness. The black figure quickly crossed the roof and followed Claire tightly.
For the Lord of Shadowflow, today is my lucky day. The prey that was misleading because of his temporary negligence has come to my eyes again. The same mistake must not be made again. Today I will wash away this shame!
However, when he found that the other party was approaching the handover level between the upper and lower areas, Jie suddenly found that the other party paused for a moment, and in an instant the black figure disappeared out of thin air in front of him.
This is!?
