That's it.

And now, the opportunity has come.

When Texas woke up in the morning and saw the letter on her desk, her first reaction was not fear, but "it's finally here."

The time to formally face my past has finally arrived.

She read the letter.

The source of the letter was unknown. Texas speculated that it might be "Zaro," or perhaps a family in Syracuse that still had lingering feelings... In the letter, they said that a "wolf hunter" had recently appeared in Syracuse.

The "wolf hunter," wearing a red hood and cape, armed with a musket and a sickle, now roams the land of Syracuse. According to reports, a family has already been killed by this wolf hunter...

It is said that on that day, the entire family was massacred by wolf hunters and no one survived.

The wolf hunter seemed to be looking for something and kept killing for it.

The remaining families of Syracuse were filled with fear. They searched for the wolf hunter, hoping to eliminate him, but all their efforts were unsuccessful. No one knew when the wolf hunter would reappear.

Therefore, they made a decision: Syracuse now extended an invitation to all the families that had been related to Syracuse in the past. Now, most of the Syracuse families gathered together to discuss how to defeat the wolf hunter together.

And Texas, naturally, was also invited.

After reading the letter, Texas couldn't help but frown.

How did they know they were in the city?

Is this a trap... or something else?

However, perhaps the wolf hunter story is true... However, these families may also be using this opportunity to completely eliminate the Texas family. Of course, it is also possible that Zarrow wants to bring me back as a "henchman" to at least play a role in this incident...

Texas kept guessing in his mind, and finally, he let out a sigh and rang the bell at the door.

Then, the door opened and a purple-haired woman stood in front of Texas, with her head lowered and eyes closed, waiting for the order from her big boss.

"Go, call the rest of the people..."

Texas said calmly:

"Call most of the people. We are going to Syracuse."

The purple-haired woman didn't look up, but lowered her head even lower and said forcefully, "Yes!"

In the thumb, orders do not need to be questioned and cannot be questioned.

After the purple-haired woman left, Texas also breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the mansion.

Whether it's a trap or not...

She would go there.

Now, she has enough strength to cut off her past.

Texas thought secretly in his heart, and then walked out step by step.

........................

On the other side, in Lin Yi's cabin, his consciousness swept across Thumb's territory. After confirming that Thumb had moved out, he withdrew his consciousness.

Everything is going as planned.

He was so sure of this in his heart.

In fact, he was the one who sent the letter.

Although this statement was factual, Syracuse currently lacked the ability to directly contact the Thumb's boss... If Zaro had come, he would probably have chosen to meet Texas directly in the middle of the night...

Then take a few bullets specially customized for your thumb.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi smiled. He whistled and a cheerful look appeared on his face.

"Come on, then, come on..."

He smiled, whistled, and said to himself:

"Let me see this Syracuse performance..."

"How interesting it would be."

Chapter 149:145 Little Red Riding Hood Mercenary, Big and Potentially Bad Wolf and Syracuse

The rain in Syracuse never seems to stop.

When a man with black curly hair wearing a Victorian-style bowler hat walked into a cafe in Syracuse in the drizzling rain, people's eyes were not focused on him.

But this man seemed to be waiting for something. He just sat there, tapping the table with his fingers, waiting without saying a word... as if he was waiting for something to arrive.

About half an hour later, the person he was waiting for arrived—this time causing a bit of a commotion. It was a member of a mafia family. It was a member of the Rossetti family, a man of considerable status.

For a moment, the people in the cafe thought a fight was about to break out and fled in all directions. The black-haired man—Xiu—looked around with those eyes that always seemed a little tired, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"It seems your reputation here is quite formidable."

Xio said this to the Rossetti family member in front of him. The Rossetti family member gave a forced smile, and then said in a tone that was almost joking and flattering:

"But I'm afraid I'm still no match for you. After all, here, you can be said to be the messenger of destruction."

Xio smiled:

"So, judging from what you said, you don't welcome me?"

"How could that be... After all, as for the news about the 'Wolf Hunter', I have to rely entirely on you."

The Rossetti family member forced a smile on his face—his expression was clearly uneasiness. Meanwhile, Xio slowly exhaled, turned around, and casually said:

"Then... I will bring you the hunter's words as always... Based on the traces I've discovered in Syracuse these days, I unfortunately have to inform you that the wolf hunter's next target is most likely your family."

"That is, the Rossetti family."

Xio said as he snapped his fingers, completely ignoring the Rossetti family members who were sweating profusely in front of him.

"Can you discuss this with it..."

"She was acting on her own terms. I was merely translating her movements, that's all."

Hugh stood up and said this calmly. At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at the Rossetti family members, then said:

"However, you are not without options... As I suggested earlier. You can choose to seek refuge with us. We at T Company will provide you with a place to survive and survive the attacks of the werewolves."

"Of course, you will need to pay a price during that period. But please believe me, your normal life will not be restricted by this."

Xio shrugged as he spoke. The Rossetti family member lowered his head and could only say:

"We...we will consider it. We will give you an answer before the wolf hunters arrive..."

Hugh shrugged again, and then, under the humble escort of the Rossetti family members, disappeared in the drizzle of Syracuse. The Rossetti family members wiped the mixture of sweat and rain from their foreheads, and then hurried away.

"Ha... Looks like it's almost time."

After leaving, Xio let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, and murmured softly.

He wasn't hiding anything. The Wolf Hunter's next target was indeed the Rossetti family.

According to his estimation, the Rossetti family would most likely seek assistance from T Company before officially facing the werewolves... As for what T Company would do, it certainly would not be to shelter the werewolves.

Rather, it was the Rossetti family that they needed to shelter.

T Company needs the Rossetti family's time.

And before the Rossetti family fell into despair...Xiu believed that they would naturally turn to the protection of T Company.

You don't need all of them, just a few of them...

The same goes for other families. With the threat from the Wolf Hunters alone, Xio is confident he can bring a large portion of the Syracuse family into T Company's timeline. Beyond that, of course, he'll need some more pressing pressure from the Wolf Hunters...

However, it can be said that Xio had already come up with a countermeasure for this.

This is why he said that the time is almost up.

"Hmm... Da'at and Carly should be here soon, so now's the time to go meet them."

Xio thought so in his heart, and then walked away. In the drizzling rain, he pressed his hat tightly on his head.

........................

"Is this Syracuse?"

Kali was holding an umbrella, and beside her was Da'at, who was holding her arm holding the umbrella. She glanced at her surroundings and let out a breath.

We've arrived outside the city...

This world is truly amazing. Besides the city, there are other places...

Her eyes casually swept around, and finally stopped at Da'at beside her. She leaned down and asked softly:

"Da'at…are we going anywhere next?"

"Hmm... I have to go meet with our competitors. We also have people from other companies helping us with the recovery of Abnormalities."

Da'at pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Xiu, the founder of T Company, is the person we are going to meet now. He approached us during this Abnormality recovery operation. It's likely that he wants to gain some benefits from this operation."

"T Company? Isn't it World Wings now?..."

After hearing Da'at's words, Carly was stunned for a moment, and then she muttered to herself.

She was indeed somewhat surprised. In this world's cities, T Corporation wasn't even the Wing of the World yet. Instead, it was the development of the laboratory—the Lobotomy Corporation—that became the Wing first...

Carly shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, she asked:

"Where is he now?"

"Yes, it's just in front."

Da'at pointed forward and said with a smile. Then, Carly looked up and saw Xio walking towards her in the rain.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Da'at, and... Miss Carly. X mentioned you to me before I came here."

Xio bowed to the two of them and said with a smile:

"Well, there's no need to beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point and talk about werewolf hunting."

"Regarding the wolf hunters...we have some requests, but we'd better listen to your needs first."

Hugh said this, bowing slightly again. Da'at then spoke in a calm voice:

"Lobotomy Corporation needs to recover two Abnormalities this time... One is what you call a 'Wolf Hunter,' internally designated Little Red Riding Hood Mercenary."

"At the same time, preliminary speculation is that the Little Red Riding Hood mercenaries' target is also currently in Syracuse, lurking, possibly within a certain family... their internal codename is the Big, Potentially Bad Wolf."

Chapter 150:146 Family War, Da'at Attacked, Crimson Mist Takes Action

After hearing these two names, Xio acted completely unsurprised, while Carly glanced at Da'at with a hint of surprise.

But she quickly smoothed her expression and put on an expressionless look.

Her duty is to protect Da'at, nothing more, no matter what happens, she must ensure Da'at's safety.

"That's what we need. Recover these two Abnormalities. So, what are your needs?"

"...This may be a little surprising. But we hope that these two Abnormalities can remain active for a little longer... T Company has some cooperation plans, and we would like to reach an agreement with the Syracuse family under this background. After the cooperation is completed, T Company will further provide Lobotomy Corporation with more products."

Xiu spread his hands and said so.

"How much time is needed?"

"It doesn't need to be too long, seven days at most, that's enough."

"...Then I can agree."

Da'at only thought about it for a moment before agreeing immediately. Carly opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. Da'at seemed to notice this and pulled Carly aside, whispering:

"X has already explained that it might take quite some time to capture these two Abnormalities... They are both difficult to recapture. Seven days is probably within the expected capture time. In that case, I don't mind doing you a favor."

After hearing this, Carly nodded in understanding.

"By the way, you should have arrived a while earlier than us, right? What's the specific situation here?"

After saying these words, Da'at turned around and asked Xio.

And Xio nodded and slowly said:

"Currently, the Rossetti family is facing the problem of being visited by wolf hunters... It is expected that the wolf hunters will appear again within two days."

"The Bellone family is currently on high alert and is maintaining strict vigilance. They are also actively communicating with all parties, hoping to jointly resolve the wolf hunter issue. Most families share the same attitude as the Bellone family."

"As for the Saluzzo family, their current attitude is quite resistant. Regarding the werewolf hunter issue, the Saluzzo family has shown a refusal to cooperate... They don't seem too eager to accept T Company's assistance, and they don't care as much about the werewolf hunter issue as the other families. Their attitude towards it is even quite casual."
