Chapter 2552 Dirt
"Are you from Viper?!"

Ji Xiaoge took a breath of cold air. Although his wings did not rise again, he subconsciously took a half step back, took out a sesame cake from his bag, and assumed a defensive posture.

"Ok?"

The hooded man, who couldn't help laughing after seeing Shaobing, suddenly lowered his head to look at his companions, and asked the white-haired girl whose whole body was tense at this moment: "What's wrong, Ying?"

"That thing..."

The girl, who already had her hands on the blade of the gun at her waist, narrowed her eyes and said in a serious tone, "I instinctively feel that there is some danger. Although I can't explain why, please stay away from that cake."

"Ok."

Although his fighting talent was far inferior to that of the girl, the hooded man who trusted her unconditionally nodded slightly, then coughed lightly and said to the few people who were obviously wary except Mo Tan: "I should have mentioned it just now, even the 'Twenty-member Committee' of the [Viper Chamber of Commerce] has never reached a consensus. In other words... if you are worried that I have ulterior motives or am simply the 'opposite party', then you are really worrying too much."

Yaya stared at the hooded man who was talking, and while making pleasant and intimidating growls, he said coldly: "The Wangs... have a grudge against Wang Snake, a big grudge."

Obviously, although a long time has passed, the girl still hasn't forgotten the encounter between the group and the three Vipers at the Casero Prairie. Although Darian Diesel showed up in time to save the situation and avoid the worst outcome, and the escorted slaves were also rescued safely, Yaya still kept this account in her heart and showed no signs of forgetting it.

"I have also heard about the 'hatred' that Miss Yaya mentioned."

The hooded man did not avoid looking at her, but calmly met her eyes, and said softly, "In fact, your [Paw Patrol Adventurer Team] has always been on the Chamber of Commerce's revenge list, but because of the lag in information and the fact that most of the 'Snake Heads' do not trust people from other worlds, your performance in the [Guilt Questioning Battle] has not been updated in the intelligence... Haha, in this case, you should thank me instead."

Although Ji Xiaoge did not regard the hooded man as an enemy because of Mo Tan's calm attitude, she still instinctively asked in a questioning tone: "Why?"

"Because anyone who has paid attention to the [Guilt War] will know that you are definitely not a target that ordinary operators can deal with. However, according to the information on the revenge list, Viper will at best only send some high-level assassins to eliminate you."

The hooded man did not keep the secret, but simply explained: "As a member of the organization who holds key intelligence, if I am willing to help update your intelligence and prove that this intelligence can reduce losses to a considerable extent, I will most likely receive a very generous reward."

Gu Xiaole smacked his lips and asked knowingly, "So you have no intention of reporting us yet?"

"Of course, if I wanted to harm you, Brother Mo would have been killed by Ying just as he opened the door. Even if he could escape by chance, you would have been killed by the large number of assassins who infiltrated this small hotel."

The hooded man said this with a very confident tone, and calmly argued: "So, although I have no intention of taking credit for not betraying you, this should be able to prove my innocence to a certain extent."

Ji Xiaoge exchanged glances with Yaya, then breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the hair-breaking sesame seed cake in his hand back into his bag, and said to the hooded man who had remained calm and peaceful from beginning to end: "I am willing to believe you, but I would be happier if you could provide more evidence that you are a good person."

"Good guy...haha."

Although they couldn't see the expression under the hood, they could still sense that he had just revealed a mocking smile. He just shook his head slightly and said in an extremely bright tone, "I'm sorry, I'm not here to make friends today, so I don't intend to produce any evidence that would make you happy."

Mo Tan sighed silently, patted Ji Xiaoge's hand twice, and brought the topic back to the "business" and said to the hooded man in a serious tone: "Tell us more about that [woodlouse]."

"no problem."

The latter smiled happily, and then quickly explained: "From what I know, in addition to wanting to obtain an identity that will allow him to rapidly develop his power, I'm afraid he has already made preparations to wipe out the Destroyer Mercenary Group in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Ji Xiaoge, Yaya and Gu Xiaole were all stunned, while Mo Tan's face darkened: "Is it really so?"

"I guess when the Woodlice decided to kill the puppets through the hands of the Destroyer Mercenaries, it didn't want to let the Highlanders, who would definitely notice that something was wrong, live."

"Wang."

Yaya wrinkled his nose and said seriously, "The Bad Wolves are very good! Even if Lar Wolves are gone, Bill Wolves and the others are still very powerful!"

"I admit that. After all, as the fastest growing mercenary group in Anka Market over the years, the Highlanders themselves are indeed quite powerful. Given time, it may not be a problem for them to move to a higher level."

The hooded man first affirmed Yaya's words, then changed the subject and said seriously: "But the problem is that [Sowlet] obviously has no intention of giving them a chance to 'give time'. Not only that, I suspect that when he was making the arrangements, he even took Largo's existence into consideration... and as far as I know, the hardworking leader does not seem to have come back here."

After these words came out, the faces of several members of the Paw Patrol turned ugly. Although Samurai Shodown had no reaction to the name Largo, after Mortan sighed silently, he still whispered to the hooded man: "Go to hell."

"But then again—"

Although he didn't know what happened in Savage Highland, the hooded man guessed something based on their reactions. He immediately added after Mo Tan and the others spoke, "Although the Mercenary Guild is not strict in terms of system, it is not that easy to fool. Considering that there are almost no epic-level professionals among the aliens, they must not have any epic-level professionals when they registered the Unicorn Mercenary Group."

Fangya narrowed his eyes and asked, "So? ... Woof."

"so……"

Gu Xiaole stretched out his hand and rubbed Yaya's head, raised an eyebrow at the hooded man and said, "Is there no way that the Three-legged Cat Mercenary Group can 'directly' send out epic-level warriors?"

"No, [Sootle Bug] can probably directly mobilize epic professionals, as long as they don't go through the [Unicorn Mercenary Group]'s channel. As a first-class deacon, he has both the resources and the authority to do so."

The hooded man shook his head, and then, out of some inexplicable desire to compete, he began to rub the white hair of the girl in front of him, and said dimly: "But... if the one who took the initiative was not [Woodlouse], but someone standing on the opposite side of him, the situation might be different."

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Mo Tan's eyes, but he did not make any guesses. Instead, he asked directly, "Please tell me in detail."

"You're the boss, it's okay if you don't have to be so polite."

The other party chuckled and then explained carefully: "According to my investigation, there are four people in charge of the Viper Chamber of Commerce in Anka Market, namely [Black Wolf], [Puppet], [Wildfire] and the [Woodworm] we just mentioned. Among them, [Woodworm] is the latest to come to Anka and has the smallest power. The 'Ms. Moth' behind him is the new snake head and does not have many channels to input resources into Anka. In addition, the power of the other three has long been deeply rooted. We can understand that... if [Woodworm] wants to do something big, he must not only obtain the permission of the other three, but also lose face and borrow power from them."

Mo Tan followed his thoughts and asked, "That is to say, even though that [Sowlet] was able to defeat the new generation of forces left by the King of Destruction in Anka Market head-on with the Unicorn Mercenaries replaced by their own people, if they wanted to start a big war, such as attacking Largo, who is already a little famous, they can't do it just like that?"

"That's what I mean. This is the Ankh Market after all. Although it's not as 'rigorous' as the Free City, epic professionals with unknown origins still need to be investigated. So just because the other three nails have this power doesn't mean that the newcomer [Sowlet] can also have it." The hooded man was very responsible in providing ideas for the Paw Patrol, and then he took out two parchment scrolls from his bag and threw them to Mo Tan: "Open it and take a look."

Mo Tan took the scroll casually, glanced at the item description, and handed one of them to Ji Xiaoge. Then, he and Ji Xiaoge unfolded the parchment in their hands at the same time.

What caught the eye were two thumbnail maps with Anka Market as the center, with markings on the suburbs and remote areas respectively.

"This is……"

Mo Tan's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he turned his head sharply to look at Ji Xiaoge: "Where?"

"Pfft."

The winged girl was touched by her online boyfriend's rare confusion. She laughed subconsciously and coughed lightly. With her excellent sense of direction, she answered in seconds: "One is somewhere in the east of the Goblin Wilderness, and the other is near the border between Ankh Market and the permafrost in the north. They are not too far from here."

"Thank you."

Mo Tan smiled at Ji Xiaoge, successfully making this high-attack, low-defense pigeon blush and lower its head, then turned to the hooded man and asked, "What are there in these two places?"

"There are things that people like you absolutely cannot accept or agree with."

The other party replied calmly, and his tone suddenly became serious and indifferent: "I would like to advise you that if you are not fully aware, please do not set foot in these two places. As for the [Wrecker Mercenary Group], you can also try to persuade them to move their base to other places. Although the [Woodworms] have already set their sights on them, even if it does not involve a direct fight, the 'performance' of forcing that mercenary group away is enough for them to prove themselves, so they will probably not pursue them relentlessly."

After saying this, he even deliberately glanced at Ji Xiaoge and Yaya, but the former was hanging his head because his cheeks were a little hot, while the latter did not react to the gaze of this "outsider".

But Mo Tan immediately understood the other party's implication and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for the reminder. I understand."

"I said, don't be so polite."

The hooded man shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "As for the headquarters of the Unicorn Mercenaries, that is, the location of the Woodlice gang, you should be able to find it easily. I was too lazy to ask about it."

Mo Tan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Well, my mission is almost complete. As for what to do next, it depends on what kind of result you want to seek."

The hooded man bowed to everyone, and after a second of silence, he raised his head for the first time to look at Mo Tan level. He stared at the latter with his cloudy and cold eyes that were looming in the shadows, and said in a deep voice: "Finally, let me say one more thing. This moment is the best opportunity for you to turn back. In my opinion, for you...ha, the 'good people' mentioned by Ms. Ye Ge, the right answer is to stay away from those filth that will have a strong impact on your outlook on life and is deeply rooted in the darkness. There are many beautiful things in this world, and there is no need to make yourself unhappy."

Mo Tan smiled noncommittally and nodded, "Very good advice."

"And there's—"

The hooded man turned and walked towards the door. After holding the door handle, he paused for a moment and said without looking back: "If there is still a chance for cooperation, I can give you a small discount."

After that, the hooded man, who never revealed his name or even his appearance to anyone, left with the white-haired girl named Ying.

"Tsk, tsk."

After a moment, Gu Xiaole smacked his lips and sighed after confirming that the other party's breath had completely disappeared, "So does he want us to continue investigating or just give up? Chinese is so hard to understand."

"He suggested that we give up, but he also felt that we would probably pursue the matter further."

Mo Tan smiled and explained, "This isn't an idol drama. If you know a little bit about how to read people's expressions, you can tell that we probably won't back down just because of his two words. But..."

Ji Xiaoge noticed Mo Tan's gaze and frowned slightly, snorting, "But what? Are you trying to persuade me to stay out of it?"

"Um……"

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose and looked away guiltily: "To be precise, it's you and Yaya."

"Ha! Then you can happily punish evildoers with Sister Xiaole, right? You really have ulterior motives!"

"I certainly can't mean that."

"Hehe, Sister Xiaole, please help me say a few words to this bad guy!"

"Ahem, Mo-chan..."

"Sister Xiaole, I didn't..."

"I also think it would be better to let Xiaoge and Yaya look after the house while we go together to punish the evildoers."

"what?"

"Eh?!"

"Wang!?"
