Cyberpunk, but urban

His deputy section chief pointed in the direction of Ye Lan and Black Cat and said to him: "No, in fact, we just acted too slowly and were left behind by the client."

Chapter 98. Dark Forest

When the two chiefs and deputy chiefs of the four southern departments of the Second Association introduced themselves to Ye Lan and Miss Zoe, the first thing they heard from Ye Lan was: "I thought you were all dead."

"Mr. Ye Lan, what do you mean by this?"

Andreas's face looked very ugly. No one would have a good face if he was mocked by his employer's guards just after meeting his employer.

"The Southern Third Section of the Fourth Association, you have been fooled around." Ye Lan said, "The entire Southern Third Section of the Fourth Association died in the checkpoint, and you have just met your client."

"I'm sorry... could you please explain it more clearly?" Deputy Section Chief Hannah stopped Andreas who wanted to say something and said to Ye Lan.

"Then tell me why you didn't wait for us at the entrance of Alley 11." Ye Lan asked back.

"This... the order we received was to guard the platform of the Warp train, but just now you suddenly gave us the order to come here." Deputy Section Chief Hannah was stunned for a moment after saying this, "Huh?! If you are taking the Warp train, why don't you go directly to D Nest... Could it be that the order we received was false?!"

She and Andreas looked at each other, and both of them looked unhappy. Ye Lan said that if they still couldn't hear that they were deceived by the third department of the fourth association, then the two chiefs and deputy chiefs of the fourth department of the southern part of the second association could go home.

"I'm sorry. It was our fault. From now on, the finishers of the Southern Four Sections of the Second Association will do their best to complete the commission and ensure that the client returns to Nest D safely."

Hannah said sincerely that no matter what they said at this time, they could not cover up their negligence. It would be better to apologize sincerely and prove themselves with practical actions.

Ye Lan didn't think about blaming them more. As Father Feng, the owner of the Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar, walked out from the kitchen with the fried chicken and drinks he ordered, he changed the subject.

Andreas and Hannah were able to meet their client, Miss Zoe, and introduce themselves, which was the first time for them and the second time for Zoe.

Ye Lan sat at the table at the deepest part of the restaurant with others, sharing the delicious fried chicken. After putting the fried chicken in his mouth, Ye Lan finally understood why the Bodhisattva Chicken chain was defeated by this privately-owned restaurant.

"As expected, I still want the fried chicken from Father Feng... This is much more delicious than the chicken from Bodhisattva Chicken that has multiple pairs of wings and legs."

Andreas drank beer and said with emotion. They, the finishers, always adjust their moods quickly. If they don't, they won't live long in the city.

Although the fried chicken is delicious, their dining table is not that practical.

Ye Lan could clearly feel the dining table shaking slightly. The black cat, relying on its small size, jumped between Miss Zoe's legs and saw a notebook under the table that was propped up on the corner.

"Mr. Ye Lan, please help me get it." The black cat patted Ye Lan's calf and said to him.

After a while, they opened the small book on the table. The first line of the catalog was [Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar - Crispy Fried Chicken Recipe].

"Dad Feng just put the recipe here to use as a table leg?" Hannah poked her head out from beside Andreas, not sure what to say to the restaurant owner.

"I'll go return it to the boss... I hope he won't leave such important things outside next time." Deputy Section Chief Hannah sighed, picked up the recipe and walked out.

Although Old Man Feng acted as if he would definitely correct his mistakes after getting the recipe back, both Hannah, who was returning the dish, and Ye Lan, who was stuffing the last piece of fried chicken into his mouth, suspected that he would turn around and stuff the recipe book back under the table to use as a cushion for the table legs.

But this is all the guests can do. No matter how much they say, it will just go in one ear and out the other to the restaurant owner, Old Man Feng.

Seeing that Father Feng would not listen, Ye Lan and the others left the Silver Phoenix Fried Chicken Bar. However, ten minutes later, the finishing staff of the Second Association's Fourth Section who participated in the commission brought an armored vehicle with the Second Association's logo painted on it.

Although their previous plan had been exposed, Andreas and Hannah believed that they could just continue along the old plan and move towards the checkpoint near Lane 4.

The closers of the Four Associations are professional killers who will not spread the information. After Ye Lan's feat of single-handedly wiping out the entire Southern Three Departments of the Four Associations, there will probably be no more closers of the Four Associations participating in this commission.

What they were driving at the moment was an armored vehicle used by the Second Association to hunt down suspects, and few gang members would choose to attack this kind of vehicle.

The facts were consistent with their judgment. They did not encounter any hostile units until the armored vehicle entered Alley 4. After the armored vehicle entered Alley 4, it became difficult to continue moving forward.

Nest D is different from other nests. It is occupied by a very large forest. The back alleys under the jurisdiction of Company D are naturally also shrouded in this forest.

"Get off the car, we have to walk the rest of the way." Andreas said to his subordinates who were the finishers in the headphones, and then the armored vehicles were driven back by the drivers who stayed in the cars.

The remaining members of the Second Association surrounded Zoe and Black Cat in the middle, forming a dense defensive formation. Andreas and Hannah led the team one after the other, and only Ye Lan and Luna who followed them didn't know where to stand, and for a moment they even felt a little redundant.

"Once we arrive at D's Nest, your commission will be completed, right?" Ye Lan asked Andreas.

"Yes, our commission will be completed once we reach D's Nest." Andreas replied, but what he didn't say was that walking all the way from here to D's Nest was the most difficult part of the entire commission.

Once Miss Zoe enters the D Nest, as the first heir to a high position in D Company, she will receive professional protection from D Company's combat employees, and her collateral relatives in the family will no longer have the opportunity to attack her.

Therefore, this section of the road became their last chance.

As if they couldn't wait any longer, when the checkpoints and armored vehicles were no longer in sight, countless gang members came out from their hidden hiding places in the dark forest.

In a flash, Ye Lan and his group were surrounded by the gang in Lane 4 and the Fixer Office.

Chapter 99. Bream Preview? UFI Association Personality

"We will be your shield, your guard..." Andreas whispered the oath of the Second Association and led the way into the siege of the gang members in Alley 4.

Behind him, the Second Association's finishing men who were protecting Miss Zoe in the middle were also attacked by a large number of back alley gang members.

"Everyone listen up, breakout formation!"

Under Hannah's command, the defensive formation was adjusted into a spearhead formation for breaking through, and the two female finishers lifted Zoe up on the left and right.

The tail members of the Second Association, armed with German two-handed swords, followed Andreas in the front, showing no fear of the swords of the enemies around them.

They used the heavy blades of their German two-handed swords and the armor plates on their bodies to deflect the gang members who were trying to tear at the formation. Unless they tried to attack Zoe who was inside the formation, the second association's tailmen would not launch an active attack on the enemy.

All tactical actions are carried out around protecting important targets and quickly breaking through the siege. Even if a teammate is pulled out of the formation, the finishing people of the Second Association can only adjust their positions indifferently to seal the gap caused by him leaving the formation.

What they did was correct. The number of enemies far exceeded what they could handle. If they chose to rescue teammates who had left the formation, they would only be entangled by more enemies and eventually be killed by more and more enemies.

However, Ye Lan was unhappy that the finishing staff of the Second Association's Southern Four Sections could accept this tactic of sacrificing a small number of teammates to allow important personnel to break through quickly.

Whether it was the fact that there was no place for him and Luna in this plan, or the idea that some people had to be sacrificed, these were both annoying things in Ye Lan's opinion.

The black cat in boots held in Zoe's arms looked even uglier than Ye Lan at this moment. Although it was just a cat's face, Ye Lan could still see that its face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

Although I don't know what this abnormality is thinking at this moment, judging from its posture as it gradually transforms into a human form, it is probably very angry.

As for Ye Lan, he was also overwhelmed by a kind of crazy anger.

A scarlet and tattered cloak appeared on his body, and countless blood-stained old bandages bound his limbs tightly. The steel that only existed in fantasy was forged into a foldable short sickle, and the short gun filled with gunpowder was loaded with bullets that were strong enough to penetrate the wolf.

The smell of the forest mixed with the smell of blood spurting from the wounded on both sides, just like the forest in the fairy tale where ferocious monster wolves lived.

Ye Lan indulged this anger and fermented it. After a moment, he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth. Scarlet steam escaped from Ye Lan's mouth, and the cleaners and gang members who surrounded him were soaked in cold sweat in an instant.

"The hunt has begun..."

The cloak concealed Ye Lan's face. He threw the short sickle away from its folded state, raised the short gun filled with gunpowder, and released his anger towards the enemies who were still standing there, not daring to move forward.

Sparks exploded from the gun barrel, and countless bullets flew out randomly, forming a cone shape and turning everything in front of Ye Lan into a sieve.

A gang member behind Ye Lan, who finally couldn't stand the inexplicable fear, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Luna. Although his empty brain couldn't figure out why he was so afraid of Ye Lan who had turned into a monster, he could think that the little girl next to Ye Lan must be his weakness.

However, his idea was good. When he actually tried to attack Luna beside Ye Lan, he found that he saw his calf for some reason.

From the perspective of others, he had just made a move to sprint when Ye Lan swung the short sickle in his direction.

Even though there was a space in the middle that was far longer than the short sickle, the gang member's head still fell sleekly to the ground, leaving his body like a fountain, spraying all the blood in his chest onto the surrounding ground and his companions.

“Ha, ha ...

A crazy laugh came out from Ye Lan's mouth full of sharp teeth. What he was wearing at the moment was not the normal Little Red Riding Hood mercenary's ego equipment [Scarlet Scar].

Instead, Ye Lan took the initiative to put it into a state of erosion, a special posture that seemed to be twisted.

The pistol in his hand seemed to be filled with endless gunpowder, and bullets burning with red flames were poured into the forest like rain.

This dark and silent forest was as if a violent storm had struck. Under the terrible firepower of the pistol in Ye Lan's hand, the area where they were located turned into a clearing in the forest with a mixture of flesh and blood and fallen trees.

"Damn it, if we don't kill him first, none of us will survive!"

This is a shout from one gang member to his fellow gang members.

"I won't do this job anymore. If the commission fails, then so be it!"

This was the cry of a man who was the only one left in the entire firm who could still finish the job.

"Wow... so strong! With this strength, Mr. Ye Lan will become the new color-level finisher sooner or later!"

This was the exclamation from one of the finishers in charge of protecting Zoe from the Southern Four Sections of the Second Association.

Then, these sounds were drowned out by Ye Lan's new round of gunfire.

"What promises did you get from those insects?"

The black cat transformed into a human form in anger and grabbed a finisher whose entire left arm and left shoulder were torn apart by the bullet shot by Ye Lan, and questioned him in a breathtakingly majestic voice.

At that moment, both Ye Lan, who had just gotten rid of his ego armor, and Luna, who was huddled beside him, saw a hint of gold on the humanoid black cat, like a circle of golden mane.

The cleaner, who was in a trance due to his serious injuries, told the black cat in boots everything he knew, just asking it to give him a quick death.

After hearing what the scum of Zoe's family promised them, under whose witness the contract was signed, and to whom the commission was submitted, Black Cat angrily drew the rapier from his waist and stabbed it fiercely into the skull of every living enemy.

"How dare they, how dare they?!"

The Black Cat angrily used the corpses of these people to vent his anger, dismantling their remains until no trace of their original shapes could be seen.

Ye Lan curiously leaned over to ask, and saw it turned its head and said to him: "You are a bunch of damned insects. How dare you replace my master and waste her precious property! How dare you hand over the precious treasures that I have carefully collected and can compete with the wealth of a king of a country!!"

Chapter 100. This book has 100 chapters!!!

"Well, the commission ends here. Please sign here." Hannah held the power of attorney and pointed to the signature on the paper and said to Miss Zoe.

At this time, two hours had passed since they entered the forest around Alley 4. After the black cat in boots angrily pierced the head of the last person who was entrusted to attack them, they arrived at the checkpoint of Nest D without any hindrance.

Under Andreas's command, the finishers of the Southern Four Sections of the Second Association organized themselves, regrouped, and prepared to return to their association's headquarters. Deputy Section Chief Hannah was finishing up some paperwork with Miss Zoe regarding the commission to protect important people.

After venting its anger, the black cat in boots turned back into its cat form and lay lazily at Ye Lan's feet.

"Brother Ye Lan, are you ready to leave too?" asked Black Cat.

Ye Lan nodded and said to it, "Yeah, don't you have combat personnel from Company D to take care of security? Anyway, you don't need me anymore, so I'll just take Luna with me to take care of my own business."

"Personal matters... If you need any help, come to me. My friendship is the reward you asked for yourself, don't forget it."

"You should first help your master to gain the position he deserves in the family." Ye Lan said in return.

He roughly guessed the management requirements of this abnormality. The special ability of this cat in boots should be to allow the owner chosen by it to obtain a high enough position regardless of all obstacles.

Any obstacles that arise in this process will be solved by help that appears as if by coincidence, just like how Ye Lan was hired by the black cat on a whim.

And if someone wants to destroy the target it has set for its master, it will show its fighting appearance in rage.

However... Ye Lan recalled the golden mane he saw in the forest. Perhaps the human-shaped posture was not the true appearance of the black cat.

During the time he was talking to Black Cat, the finishing staff from the Fourth Section of the Southern Section of the Second Association all left the checkpoint after they finished the troublesome paperwork with Deputy Section Chief Hannah.

Miss Zoe, who had finished the paperwork, came over and said to Ye Lan, "Mr. Ye Lan, thank you for your help. We all know that if it weren't for your protection along the way, even the finalists of the fourth department of the second association might have died in the forest... No, I should have died by the knife of the finalists of the fourth association before that."
