Mang Hou
Chapter 192 Alibi
Suren dressed and walked out of his room.
As soon as he appeared in the corridor, he noticed eyes watching him.
There was no hostility, only vigilance.
"Very strong, probably Reina's dark guards..."
Suren sensed that there was no one else besides this gaze.
He showed no unusual reaction and walked straight to the door next door, knocking on it.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?"
"Miss Reina, it's me, Zoro."
After a while, the door opened.
Reina, who had changed into a home dress, opened the door. Seeing it was Suren, she smiled and said, "It's Mr. Zoro. Are you here to see my aunt? She's taking a bath."
"Yes. I suddenly remembered something urgent I needed to talk to her about..."
Suren nodded gently at Reina, but his eyes glanced into the room. He paused and then said, "Can I come in and wait for her?"
Although Reina felt it was impolite to let a strange man into her room late at night, she agreed when she heard it was "urgent": "Please come in."
As the door closed, the staring gaze outside disappeared.
......
Suren went in but didn't wait on the sofa.
Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, he looked over and called out, "Sister Qiantiao, when will you be done? I need to talk to you."
It was as if she had just finished washing. As Suren entered, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped abruptly.
At this moment, "Qiantiao" in a bathrobe also walked out of the bathroom.
She looked at Suren and asked lazily, "What's wrong, Suren?"
Her expression was completely normal.
Looking at her lazy expression, Suren even wondered if he was overthinking.
However, looking again at her chest covered tightly by the bathrobe, he felt something was wrong.
The gambling-addicted woman wouldn't be so guarded against him.
Especially the way she tied the belt... it wasn't Qiantiao's habit at all!
"Well... there is something..."
Seeing this, Suren was still talking, but his hand didn't hesitate at all and suddenly drew his gun.
He pointed the gun at "Qiantiao's" head. As long as she made any move, her head would be blown off.
The smile on his face instantly turned into a cold killing intent, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
At the same time, his left hand made a grasping motion, and an invisible living corpse wielding a scythe appeared beside him.
He was confident.
Suren thought that this "Qiantiao" would try to argue, but unexpectedly, she just glanced at him and raised an eyebrow, "Oh... I've been found out."
Reina in the room was about to say something when Suren suddenly raised his gun, but suddenly her whole body lost consciousness and collapsed on the soft carpet.
Suren's eyes caught this scene, and he was shocked.
He was horrified to find that he hadn't seen how the woman opposite him had made her move!
A deadly crisis instantly hit his heart, and he didn't even have the thought of pulling the trigger.
It was as if the other party had suddenly become flawless. Even with the scythe and gun in hand, any attack would certainly miss.
He had experienced this feeling once before.
That was when he was with Mr. Hei and his group, besieging that fifth-order.
The sense of suppression that only top professionals could give.
This woman...
Was strong!
Very strong!
"Qiantiao" remained calm, completely ignoring the threat of the scythe and gun, and walked straight to the sofa, casually inviting Suren, "Sit."
From beginning to end, he didn't feel any hostility.
Suddenly, Suren eliminated some thoughts from his mind, and his tense nerves relaxed. He put away the gun and the living corpse.
He glanced at the woman on the sofa, sighed slightly, and tentatively asked, "Mr. Jing?" (Mirror)
Even if she wasn't, she must be a member of the Jing organization.
"Qiantiao" looked at Suren and smiled noncommittally, "How did you guess?"
Hearing this tone, Suren's expression was a little complicated.
He never expected that the one impersonating Qiantiao was actually the leader of the Jing organization.
Mr. Jing...
Mirror?
So, her ability was mirror imitation?
Although he didn't know if "Mr. Jing" was male or female, judging from her demeanor, unless she was a cross-dresser, she was probably a woman.
Suren: "I saw some differences between you and Qiantiao's habits..."
"Is that so..."
Hearing this explanation, Mr. Jing's lips curved into a meaningful arc.
Suren asked again, "What brings you here?"
He used honorifics because he was almost certain that this Mr. Jing was not young.
After all, she was the teacher whom Mr. Hei referred to with respect!
He was also curious about what Mr. Jing was doing here, and where the real Qiantiao had gone.
Mr. Jing said directly, "The leader of the Umbrella organization, 'Forensic' Servais Gerrard, has come in person. That guy has awakened his mental abilities and is very good at solving cases. Because of some clues, Qiantiao and the Reis family are now suspected. So, tonight we have to find a way to deal with this trouble."
"Sister Qiantiao is suspected?"
In short, Suren immediately understood.
He thought of the middle-aged man with glasses who had killed someone in the casino that day, and his expression became serious.
Although it was only suspicion, it was definitely a disaster for the Reis family.
This time, such a big thing happened, and a fifth-order professional died.
Judging from the Black Tower's attitude towards the families in the inner city, a little "suspicion" was enough to wipe out the clan.
Moreover, if Qiantiao was really exposed, it would mean that he would be exposed as well.
If this boss wasn't sitting in front of him with a calm expression, Suren knew that he would probably be planning to run away at this moment after hearing this news.
Mr. Jing picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "We'll know in a while. It's not too much trouble."
.......
Hearing Mr. Jing's tone, Suren breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, an accident happened!
He suddenly noticed that a ring on his finger began to heat up, and his face changed drastically.
This was the special code he and Shabina had left. Ordinary intelligence would be transmitted through other channels. Once this alchemical ring heated up, it meant that it was an emergency.
Suren glanced at Mr. Jing, who was calmly drinking tea, and said very quickly, "I got a message from my insider that the Umbrella organization is coming for me!"
Hearing this, Mr. Jing still took a sip of tea unhurriedly, as if she had known it long ago, and said lightly, "Yes. We were followed when we left the manor before."
Suren heard this and thought to himself, "As expected," but didn't say anything.
At this time, Reina, who was lying on the ground, also slowly opened her eyes. She seemed to have completely forgotten what happened before she fainted, and said blankly, "I... what's wrong with me?"
Suren was quick-witted and flashed over, helping her up in a gentlemanly manner, "You've probably been too tired lately and fainted just now..."
Then this Miss Reina really thought she had just fainted, "Oh, I really haven't been sleeping much lately."
She frowned and muttered, stood up, and didn't think much, politely retorting, "Thank you. You must be laughing at me."
Suren nodded, also considered a response.
After a pause, Reina looked at Suren again and asked, "By the way, Mr. Zoro, I remember you came to see my aunt, did you have something urgent?"
Hearing this, Suren looked a little strange: "This..."
There were three people in the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
He had originally suspected "fake Qiantiao" and wanted to come to cause trouble.
Now things had reversed. Although he was sure that this was a fake, it was almost the same as the real one.
Moreover, it would be fine if he didn't know who this "fake Qiantiao" was,
But now that he knew it was the leader of the Umbrella organization, he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
Unexpectedly, "Qiantiao" patted the seat next to her, "Zoro, come sit here. Help me dry my hair..."
Hearing this, Suren walked over and quickly got into character.
He had a very good attitude. If the boss dared to call him, he dared to sit.
He sat down next to "Qiantiao", and the two were as intimate as before.
After all, something seemed to be happening tonight.
It was safer to be closer to the boss.
He also guessed that this boss wanted to create an alibi for Sister Qiantiao.
.......
Suren found an excuse to get past the previous incident.
The three of them chatted for a while, and soon there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, something bad has happened!"
Hearing this, Reina immediately opened the door.
At this time, an old man dressed as a butler was holding a box in his hand and said anxiously, "Someone just sent Miss Yulia's head over."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Reina's face completely lost its color.
She looked at the **** box in the butler's hand, trembling all over, "She..."
"This old butler is a third-order professional. The Reis family really has some background."
Suren narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the old butler who was exuding aura. He also guessed that this should be the expert who had been secretly protecting Reina outside the door.
Yulia... seemed to be the blonde girl who wanted to help Reina at the banquet before?
Unexpectedly, she was killed.
The butler continued, "I heard fighting coming from the 'Blue Moon Inn' before. Miss Yulia's guards didn't last long. There should be third-order professionals among them! It may be the people from the Oliver family who took action. They are probably coming for you, Miss. I think we must leave the camp immediately..."
Before he could finish speaking, the butler suddenly seemed to have noticed something, "Someone is coming!"
With a shout, the whole person disappeared from the spot.
Immediately, the old butler's angry shout came from outside the inn: "Humph! This is the Reis family's property. Who are you!"
.......
Suren also heard the movement outside. It seemed that many people were coming.
Sending a head over was naturally to make "Qiantiao" take the initiative to fight back and expose herself.
As soon as a third-order master came, she couldn't hide it.
Suren also understood why Mr. Jing was here tonight.
In addition to protecting Reina, the more important thing was to use this third-order old man to block for a while.
Suren and the other two quickly went downstairs and watched the old man confront the people from the Umbrella organization.
The leader was the middle-aged man with glasses.
This person was naturally the leader of the Umbrella organization, "Forensic" Servais Gerrard!
This guy's linen suit was now covered in blood, and his face was still filled with a horrifyingly morbid enjoyment, as if he had just enjoyed a **** feast.
Suren saw a hint of uncontrollable violence in this guy's eyes.
He glanced at the group of windbreaker-clad people in the shadows who were on full alert and found that several fourth-order professionals had come!
As soon as "Qiantiao" appeared, she unreservedly released her alchemical armor.
This clanging sound seemed to be a conditioned reflex, and immediately made the other side nervous.
The middle-aged man with glasses changed his face like a mask and a black-and-white [Clown Mask] with a very creepy smile appeared!
As soon as this mask was on his face, "Forensic" Servais's temperament changed drastically, and the violence was instantly suppressed.
He was as cold as a non-human.
"This clown mask seems to be a very powerful cursed object..."
Suren didn't dare to appraise it. He also drew his gun, playing the role of the bounty hunter Zoro.
Although he didn't look at the person next to him, he was also curious in his heart how this "Mr. Jing" could perfectly simulate even Qiantiao's alchemical armor?
Moreover, her aura wasn't particularly strong, about the level of a second-order.
The two sides didn't waste any words and started fighting directly.
.......
Those people from the Umbrella organization didn't reveal their identities, probably thinking that if there was a misunderstanding, they could pass off this incident as a bandit attack.
After all, it was just a guess.
Moreover, the Umbrella organization wasn't the Black Tower. As a law enforcement department, they needed some normal reasons to attack a top family in the inner city.
The guards Reina brought were not weak. In addition to the third-order old man, there were also two second-orders in the inn.
They didn't fall behind for a while against that group of windbreaker-clad people.
Because... none of those fourth-orders took action!
"As expected, it's just a suspicion. Are they here to test?"
Suren muttered in his heart.
His character was a gunman and didn't need to engage in close combat. He just needed to hide beside Reina and fire a few cold shots.
In the battle group, the third-order butler was entangled by "Forensic" Servais, who was wearing a clown mask.
In the battlefield, Qiantiao was the focus of attention.
Fortunately, her four arms were swinging so tightly that they were impenetrable, and her swordsmanship was not bad, so she didn't...
Suren's eyes glanced over, and he was amazed again that this "Qiantiao" couldn't be more real.
The style of swordsmanship was exactly the same as the real Qiantiao!
But after all, she was outnumbered. "Qiantiao" was at a disadvantage under the heavy care of several second-order professionals.
The people from the Umbrella organization were only suspicious, and now seeing Qiantiao fighting with all her might, only at the level of the second-order, they couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
In this situation, there was no need to disguise her strength at all.
They wanted to increase their efforts to test her further,
But unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a huge commotion in Stormwind Manor.
"Rumble~"
"Rumble~"
"..."
The fluctuations of this violent spell were exaggeratedly terrifying and couldn't be emitted by a third-order professional at all...
Someone was attacking Princess Theresa's residence!
From a distance, they saw several hooded figures rushing to attack, and the phantom of the "Rakshasa Woman" behind one of the hooded figures was so eye-catching!
"Not good! We've been tricked!"
Hearing this commotion, everyone from the Umbrella organization and those fourth-orders hiding in the dark changed their expressions.
How could they not understand that the enemy had taken advantage of the weak defenses and attacked the princess?
They didn't care about this place and instantly disappeared from the battlefield.
