From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 261: Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization
The lanterns are on.

The Atler Club was lit up with blue lights.

The information provided by Chen Linian showed that the middleman named Christopher was in this club.

This club is a bit special. It is an international chain of clubs for people with special abilities.

On the surface, it is a place for leisure and entertainment for people with special abilities, but in fact, this club provides special services to people with special abilities.

Including but not limited to crystal core transactions, intelligence trading, and services to meet personal special desires.

Of course, the prerequisite for enjoying these is to have top combat power.

The moment the superpowers appear, the social structure inevitably changes.

People with special abilities are destined to obtain privileges, provided that they are powerful.

The more chaotic the place, the greater the class gap.

Daxia is already the country with the best order among all the countries in the world, but it can only maintain order so that it does not collapse.

Ordinary people living in Daxia have no idea to what extent society outside Daxia has collapsed after the abyss came.

Huntington, a political scientist of the White Eagle Federation, once mentioned in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order" that Daxia is a civilization disguised as a country.

This sentence actually contains malicious intent, but what it describes is very close to the truth.

The people of this land are tenacious, hardworking, and intelligent, and have the longest civilizational heritage of mankind.

Of the four ancient civilizations in the human world, only one remains today, and there is a reason for that.

Time has entered the abyss and it is the end of December, which is a time point with special significance.

In ten days, it will be a year since the abyss came.

During this year, the world situation has undergone tremendous changes. Some countries have declined in the invasion of the abyss, and some small countries have even completely disappeared in the fog.

There will be more and more abyss demons appearing in the fog of the future, the human world will fall into the abyss at an accelerated rate, and the living environment of humans will become increasingly harsh.

In the harsh living environment, some people choose to raise swords against the devil, while others point guns at their own kind.

This is the difference between civilization and barbarism.

……

8:16pm.

This is the time when the Atler Club begins to become lively. Many people with special abilities gather here to enjoy the bright lights and revelry and indulge themselves.

Across the street from the Atler Club, a car was parked at the curb.

Lu Heng sat in the car, looking at the club's logo.

The logo is six white illuminated letters "Atriel".

This club of superpowers became very famous in later generations. It was spread all over the world and formed a special superpower intelligence network.

15 minutes ago, Lu Heng received a message from Chen Linian, and came here with Su Muyu.

At this moment, Su Muyu was sitting in the co-pilot seat, conducting reconnaissance with his eyes closed.

Her vision was completely focused on the double-headed bird, and she began to scout the Atler Club.

Two minutes later, Su Muyu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Found it, but my Chongming bird was also found."

Because this action was extremely fierce, all the methods used were thunder-like.

So when Su Muyu was conducting reconnaissance, he directly controlled the Chongming Bird to fly into the Atler Club.

After all, this club is an international club for people with special abilities, and there are indeed top-notch people with special abilities in it.

The Chongming bird flew directly into the club to look for it. Although it was invisible, it was sure to be discovered because of the close distance.

Lu Heng didn't mind being discovered as long as his actions were fast enough.

Su Muyu said quickly: "He is in room 207. He should have received the message and has come out of the room and got on the elevator."

Lu Heng put on a mask and a hood, opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the club, while saying in the communicator: "Confirm the floor."

"The elevator went up to the 25th floor, the door opened, and the person entered invisible state. He must have been alert and wanted to escape." Su Muyu continued to report the situation.

Lu Heng sprinted, jumped high, used [Void Flash] in the air, and in a flash he arrived on the 25th floor of the Atler Club.

"Room 2501." Su Muyu continued to report the room number.

Lu Heng walked to the door of Room 2501 and was about to break it in when it suddenly opened from the inside.

There's just nothing behind the door.

He couldn't see anything in his sight, but the distance was so close that Lu Heng could even hear the other person's breathing.

Apparently, the man had gone invisible.

At such a close distance, coupled with Lu Heng's high perception, he can catch this level of invisibility even with his eyes closed.

Lu Heng raised his hand and grabbed the other person's neck, pushed him into the room, and pressed him against the wall with a "bang".

The invisible man was hit hard and uttered a muffled groan. His figure gradually emerged from the invisible state and his appearance was finally seen clearly.

This is a white male in his forties, with brown hair and blue eyes. He has had tanning treatment, so his skin color is darker.

He was pinched by the neck and pressed against the wall. He grabbed Lu Heng's wrists with both hands and struggled hard.

He was holding a handbag in his hand, which fell to the ground with a "thump".

He flipped his right palm and pulled out a Browning pistol.

Lu Heng took it, put it on his head, and turned on the safety.

"Don't! Who are you? We have never seen you before." The white man found that resistance was futile and quickly tried to communicate.

"Christopher?" Lu Heng said his name.

"I... I'm Christopher Sanchez... I'm a citizen of the Lionheart Empire. I know the Lionheart Empire's ambassador in Daxia. You'd better not hurt me." He immediately revealed his identity and stated that he had a relationship with the ambassador.

"Don't even mention that you know the ambassador. Even if you are the ambassador, I dare to make a hole in your forehead." Lu Heng's eyes flashed with a murderous look.

Christopher Sanchez was not very scared: "Don't blame me for not warning you. If you hurt me, the consequences will be serious. You will definitely be sent to the arbitration court."

Lu Heng sneered, and without further ado, he loaded the gun, pulled the trigger, and shot him in the thigh.

boom!
Ah!
Christopher Sanchez let out a shrill scream, beads of sweat the size of beans overflowed from his forehead, and finally an expression of panic appeared on his face.

Lu Heng stared into his eyes and asked, "Where else do you need me to make a hole in you?"

"No...no more. I'll cooperate with whatever I want. I'll cooperate with everything." Christopher Sanchez found that the Daxia man in front of him was completely different from those he had seen before.

Many Daxia people he met in the past did not dare to offend him because of his foreign status.

However, the Daxia man in front of him was willing to shoot as soon as he was told to.

If he wasn't still worth questioning, the bullet just now might have been shot in the head.

"Do you know Jin Shibiao from the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company?" Lu Heng began to ask.

"I don't know who you are talking about." Christopher Sanchez immediately denied it.

Lu Heng put the muzzle of the gun against his arm and pulled the trigger.

boom!
Hey!
Christopher Sanchez screamed even more miserably and quickly changed his tone: "I know him. I'll tell you everything. Don't shoot anymore."

He had been shot twice and blood was gushing out of his wounds.

The Da Xia man in front of him was more cruel than any other Da Xia man he had ever seen.

He quickly begged for mercy: "I'll tell you whatever you ask, as long as you don't kill me."

Lu Heng did not respond to his request and continued to ask: "Who instructed you to attack the Quencher?"

Christopher Sanchez's expression turned ugly. He had actually guessed why the Daxia people in front of him came, but this matter involved too many things.

He hesitated for two seconds, and Lu Heng put the muzzle of the gun against his shoulder.

"Don't shoot, I said, it's...ah!"

boom!
The third bullet pierced his shoulder blade, and his face was distorted with pain.

Even a person with special abilities could not withstand this kind of gunshot wound, and the shooting position was getting closer and closer to the torso.

He was finally scared and didn't dare to hesitate: "It's the Knights of the Round Table. What you want to ask is the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization. I am just a middleman. The person who contacted me is a leader of the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization.

"I was only responsible for finding an agent in Daxia to carry out the task of threatening the Tempering Master. I was not involved in other matters."

Lu Heng then asked, "Who killed the Tempering Master?"

Christopher Sanchez shook his head vigorously: "This is not my responsibility. I am only responsible for finding agents in Daxia. My only responsibility is to threaten the Tempering Masters and force them to go to the Lionheart Empire and work for them."

He saw that Lu Heng's gun was about to move again, and quickly added: "I am not responsible for the murder, but I know it was the Knights of the Round Table. The Knights of the Round Table are the power behind the scenes you are looking for. I have told you everything I know. Please, let me go."

……

at the same time.

The street downstairs.

Su Muyu sat in the car ready to pick up the people, observing the movements around him.

At this moment.

Two superpower bodyguards, one black and one white, walked out of the Atler Club and knocked on the car door. Since Christopher Sanchez received the news and wanted to escape, the Atler Club naturally got the news as well.

Another special feature of the Atler Club is that it provides shelter to certain people with special abilities.

Of course, on the surface, the Atler Club will not violate local laws, but it can do a lot of things on the edge of the law.

The two psychic bodyguards knocked on Su Muyu's car window and put their right hands on the holsters at their waists.

"Miss, please lower the window and explain your intentions."

Su Muyu glanced at the two of them, lowered the car window halfway, and said, "Go away!"

The white mutant who was knocking on the car window suddenly jumped up, reached into the car, and tried to grab Su Muyu's hair.

He was very experienced in dealing with women. Even if they were hiding in a car, he could just grab them by their hair and drag them out.

But this time he chose the wrong target.

As soon as he put his hand into the car, a circle of dark thorns suddenly appeared on the window and bound his palms.

The barbs from the dark thorns dug into his wrists.

His blood and energy began to drain at a rate of 273 points per minute. This was the damage effect of the dark thorn trap, 3 times the mental damage per minute.

Given the level of this white mutant bodyguard, his life would be in danger in half a minute at most.

"Ah! What is this? Ah!" He struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the more serious the wound became.

Seeing this, the other black man turned and left.

The white man panicked and yelled, "What are you doing? Come and help me!"

The black man had just taken two steps when he ran head-on into a giant bird and was knocked to the ground.

After Su Muyu taught the two men a lesson, he sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away to avoid any more trouble.

……

At this moment.

Five cars from the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau drove over.

Su Muyu said in the communicator: "The Iron Blood people are here, is your side finished?"

Lu Heng had asked all the information he needed to ask, but there was no evidence.

This Christopher Sanchez is just a middleman who is responsible for finding an agent in Daxia.

The mastermind behind him is the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization of the Lionheart Empire.

It is impossible for the people who contacted him to leave any evidence for him, so it is basically impossible to get direct evidence from this person to prove that the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization killed the Great Xia Tempering Master.

If Lu Heng really wanted to find evidence, he wouldn't be able to find it on Christopher Sanchez.

Even Tiexue had no evidence to arrest Jin Shibiao of the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company.

Therefore, Lu Heng had no intention of asking for evidence from the beginning.

The Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau is responsible for finding evidence.

All Lu Heng needs to do is know who his opponent is.

The Knights of the Round Table are a very famous mercenary organization in later generations and can be said to be the strongest mercenaries in the Lionheart Empire.

Among the most famous world-class mercenary organizations in the Abyss Age, the Knights of the Round Table ranked above the Onimusha.

Onimusha is the strongest mercenary organization in Fuso, while the Knights of the Round Table belong to the Lionheart Empire.

Moreover, the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization has a great background. It is a mercenary organization controlled by the Planta family of the Lionheart Empire.

The Planta family is one of the level 33 families of the ASE All-Seeing Eye Alliance.

This family controls an enormous amount of wealth, and can be said to be rich enough to rival a country.

For the level 33 families in the ASE All-Seeing Eye Alliance, even if the country is destroyed, these families will not perish.

The family's origins can be traced back to the Plantanit dynasty in the 11th century and has a long heritage.

It is hard to imagine how profound the foundation of this family can be, as it has been passed down for ten centuries and has gone through a thousand years of historical changes and is still able to continue.

in fact.

Lu Heng had thought from the beginning that there must be a powerful force behind the attack on the Tempering Master, but he did not expect it to be the Knights of the Round Table, the strongest mercenary organization in the Lionheart Empire.

No wonder this group of people are so arrogant, it turns out they have such powerful support behind them.

In fact, the reason why the Mitsui Group of Fuso dared to take action many times in the territory of Daxia was because they had the powerful combat force of the Onimusha mercenary organization.

If Iron Blood investigated this case and traced it back to Christopher Sanchez, the case would have ended like this.

Because Iron Blood has no way of tracking down the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization, which is the armed force of the Lionheart Empire.

This involves issues between countries and is completely different in nature.

Therefore, if Iron Blood is left to handle this matter, they can only cut off the hand of the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization that is reaching into Daxia, and they will have no way to deal with the number one mercenary organization in the Lionheart Empire.

Just because Tiexue can’t do anything to the Knights of the Round Table doesn’t mean Lu Heng can’t do anything.

After Chen Linian led his men to the 25th floor, Lu Heng let go of Christopher Sanchez, flashed back to the ground, reunited with Su Muyu, and drove away.

……

In the corridor on the 25th floor of the Atler Club.

Chen Linian led his men to the door of Room 2501, saw the miserable condition of the white man inside, and waved his hand to order his men to arrest him.

He walked to the window and looked at the street below.

On the street, there was a car driving away from the block where the club was located.

He recognized it; it was the car Lu Heng was driving.

He watched the car disappear at the end of the street without any intention of chasing it.

If Lu Heng had not taken action personally, the case would not have been able to be further investigated by the Golden Leopard Mercenary Organization.

Investigating cases is sometimes so troublesome.

He knew exactly who he was investigating, but he just couldn't find any evidence.

In comparison, Lu Heng's way of doing things was much more straightforward. He would just beat the person up directly, then slowly interrogate him, and if he couldn't get any information out of him, he would beat him to death.

If it were in peacetime, he would think this practice was too cruel.

But in the age of the abyss, such people are needed.

When the enemy is unreasonable, if you continue to be reasonable, the two sides will no longer be equal.

Chen Linian is in the Iron-Blooded Investigation Bureau, which represents the official department of Daxia, so he must talk about evidence, and everything is aimed at finding evidence.

However, he was very grateful to Lu Heng. Only Lu Heng's thundering methods could deal with those robbers.

Christopher Sanchez was shot three times, and when he saw the iron-blooded agent, he kept saying, "I want to see the ambassador, I want to see the ambassador."

Chen Linian looked back at him and ordered, "Seal your mouth, put on the hood and take you away."

……

After returning to the Iron Blood headquarters, Chen Linian quickly obtained information from Christopher Sanchez.

Christopher Sanchez had already answered Lu Heng's questions. He had said everything he should and shouldn't say, so there was no need to continue resisting.

Therefore, Chen Linian also asked about the information about the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization.

At this point, he realized that this case was beyond the scope of his authority.

Not to mention him, even if the country wanted to deal with this matter, there would be no way to do it.

After all, the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization is the strongest mercenary force in the Lionheart Empire, and there is no way they can handle this kind of cross-border incident.

At most, we can retaliate with reciprocal sanctions.

After the interrogation, he called Lu Heng.

"You've found out all the information about the Knights of the Round Table, right?" he asked in a somewhat helpless tone.

"Asked."

"I have already reported the matter. What happens next is not something I can control." Chen Linian inexplicably envied Lu Heng at this time.

He finally understood why Lu Heng had never joined a department like Tiexue.

With this identity, you have to abide by the rules when doing things.

Lu Heng said calmly: "It's okay, I will take care of the rest."

Chen Linian was surprised when he heard Lu Heng's words and asked, "Are you still going to look for the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization?"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. The matter isn't over yet, so why not look for the creditor?" Lu Heng's answer was straightforward.

"But..." Chen Linian was worried that Lu Heng was too reckless and wanted to persuade him, but when he thought of his previous contact with Lu Heng, he took his words back.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If you need any help, just call me. I can do it as long as I can."
