Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

He was not planning to take action against Lady Sicily, but if Lady Sicily took action, he would have a suitable way to let Carly take action against the Saluzzo and Bellone families... and, in this way, allow T Company to gain more benefits in the upcoming conflict.

At this moment, Da'at and Carly were walking in the food street of Syracuse.

Syracuse's cuisine is quite authentic. Pasta is especially famous here. Da'at was always walking around, looking around, and occasionally calling out to Carly with a hint of surprise. Carly followed Da'at, walking slowly, and occasionally receiving a portion of food from Da'at.

After swallowing the food, Carly couldn't help but think, how wonderful it would be if days like this could just move forward as easily as now...

She had dreamed of the peaceful daily life in her original city countless times...

Just as Carly was thinking about this, a sense of intuition suddenly came to her mind, so Carly frowned, stopped abruptly, and looked around with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Carly...? What happened?"

Then, Da'at turned around and looked at Carly, who looked strange, and asked with some concern.

"…There's been a minor problem. Da'at, come behind me."

Carly said in a deep voice:

"We... seem to be surrounded."

Hearing this, Da'at covered his mouth in surprise, then raised his foot and began to walk towards Kali. However, at that moment, an arrow pierced the ground in front of Da'at, leaving a tiny bloody mark on his face... For a moment, the surroundings of the market suddenly froze, and then people began to flee. Among the crowd, an assassin emerged.

"Do not move……"

Then, the leader spoke in a hoarse voice, and at the same time, he put the arrow in his hand on Da'at's neck and looked in the direction of Kali.

"Otherwise we will..."

Then, just as he was holding Da'at's neck and speaking to Carly, wanting to make a threatening statement... a scarlet broadsword suddenly flew across the sky and smashed his head without any warning. Blood instantly burst out. Da'at looked at the blood exploding around him in a daze, and took a steady step to the left to avoid the blood that was about to splash on him.

But it was this movement that spurred the remaining assassins into action, immediately attempting to stop Da'at's actions... But at this moment, Kali's sinister voice rang out:

"...Did I allow you to move?"

Pulling out the mimicry, Carly turned to the assassins and spoke in a calm tone that was slightly frightening.

Chapter 161:157 Blood mist filled the air, corpses were everywhere; the thumb began to unify the blocks

Until that moment, these people still didn't understand what they had assassinated.

For them, there is only one thing they need to care about...

How many drops of sand are left in the countdown of their lives?

And soon, Crimson Mist and her EGO will give them the answer—

——Less than five seconds.

In an instant, EGO appeared, and a blood-red coat was draped over the crimson mist. Then, Carly raised the mimicry, and the blood-red aura grew out of the mimicry.

The next moment, Carly slipped and the mimicry in her hand flashed away. The next moment, several headless corpses that were not left intact fell to the ground.

Blood mist filled the air and corpses lay everywhere.

At this time, two seconds have passed.

The only remaining assassin on the field finally realized that something was wrong. Then, just as someone was about to escape, the sharp knife had already pierced her heart from behind.

She turned her head with difficulty, only to see the single scarlet eye and the cold black helmet outside...

Carly shook her mimicry, flashed again, and killed the remaining people with a few slashes.

Facing the corpses of these people, Carly let out a long breath and slowly put away the mimicry in her hand. The form displayed by EGO was slowly dispelled. Facing their corpses, Carly murmured softly:

"So... who gave you the courage to do this?"

Then she shook her head. The dead can't talk.

"Carly...were you scared just now?"

At some point, Da'at walked up to Carly, gently touched her bloody cheek, and asked softly. Carly was stunned for a moment, subconsciously shrinking her face back, and said:

"Don't touch it, it's dirty..."

"Oh, it's okay. Besides, you haven't answered my question yet."

Da'at smiled, then waved her hand and spoke calmly, as if she wasn't the one who had just been assassinated...

“…Yes, there are some.”

So, Carly slowly fell silent, sighed, and said softly:

"Just now, I was worried about what would happen if something really happened to you..."

"And then there was… rage. A sudden surge of rage, rage at them for daring to do this. An… uncontrollable rage."

"worry about me?"

The smile on Da'at's face grew wider, his eyes narrowed slightly into slits, he put his hands behind his back, bent down slightly, raised his head, and spoke to Carly with that bright smile on his face.

"Uh... yes."

Carly's pupils turned away slightly, and finally, she answered honestly.

So, Da'at retracted his body, looked at the scene in front of him for a long time, exhaled, turned around and walked in the direction he came from.

"Well, let's go back. It's a shame we didn't have enough fun this time... Let's go out like this again when we get to the city, Carly?"

As they walked back, Da'at said with a smile. Carly was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed Da'at's pace.

When Carly walked to Da'at's side, she heard Da'at speak softly:

"Next time... don't worry so much about me, Carly. Although I'm happy..."

"Ahem...By the way, do you have any idea about this sudden ambush?"

Carly coughed lightly twice and changed the subject somewhat abruptly. Da'at placed a finger on her lips, biting it slightly as if thinking. Then, she lifted her finger and spoke softly:

"Hmm... I do have some guesses."

"Perhaps it's from the Saluzzo family... Right now, the wolf is most likely there... Come to think of it, the wolf should have already noticed our presence. If that's the case, it's only natural that they'd stop us from taking it in."

"In that case, perhaps he has already gained a certain status and can force the Saluzzo family to do something..."

Da'at spoke casually, but Carly's eyes gradually became sharper.

The Saluzzo family...are there still wolves?

Well, let's just wait. When there's a chance... This matter definitely won't end like this.

Carly thought secretly in her heart, and then followed Da'at closely.

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

On the other side, Xio was sitting in Thumb's base. After confirming the situation on Da'at's side, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mrs. Sicily has confirmed Carly's apparent strength and will not act rashly."

Then, Xio pondered and muttered to himself.

In fact, according to his speculation, the group of people just now were probably sent by Lady Sicily to test their strength... Xio and his group have been quite active in Syracuse recently, and with the recent incident with the Venetian family, it would be strange if the other party didn't do something.

But with the last wave, Lady Sicily should wait and see before taking any action... Then, she won't be disturbed for a while...

During this period, Xio was safe. By the time Lady Sicily was ready to stop watching and get back to work, Xio's goal had already been achieved.

By that time, both T-Corp and Lobotomy Corporation had escaped unscathed.

Things will proceed at lightning speed, and Lady Sicily will probably miss out on this event.

Xio was certain of this in his heart.

In fact, Da'at's words just now had some dirty tricks in them. Essentially, they were meant to provoke Kali's anger.

Since it's so rare for someone to hand over such a knife... then there's no reason not to use it.

Although the Sicilian lady's knife did not come back to stab herself, it was indirect stab to the Saluzzo family.

After silently mourning for a few seconds for the Saluzzo family who had been blamed for nothing, Xio lay down on the bed, watching the sky gradually getting darker, a smile on his face.

"Then... Next, let's get ready to begin."

"Before the last course arrives, we should eat some appetizers first..."

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

Time quickly came to the next day. Early the next morning, Carly came to Da'at's room and stayed with him closely, as if she was afraid that what happened yesterday would happen again.

Besides Carly's movements, the thumb's movements seemed a little bigger...

Early in the morning of that day, the first shot was fired from Thumb's side. After the shot was fired, all the people on Thumb's side came out immediately.

The conflict over the integration of surrounding gangs began from this moment on.

Chapter 162:158 The Final Battle is Approaching, Da'at's Sudden Disappearance, and Carly's Fear

From this moment on, Thumbs came out in full force. These gang members, who had been stationed in Syracuse for a day, were full of fighting spirit. Armed with firearms produced in the city's workshops, they began to conduct a large-scale integration of the surrounding areas.

For the surrounding gangs, this blow was basically devastating.

You mean, we are just some ordinary gangs in Syracuse, and we have to face guys like the Thumb Soldiers, who are equipped with advanced firearms and have extremely high physical fitness?

Are you kidding me?

But unfortunately, this was no joke. On this day, Thumb Soldiers rushed into the countless surrounding gangs that had not yet surrendered to Thumb, and used extremely violent means to forcibly incorporate these gangs.

Some of them didn't respond promptly enough, some didn't understand thumbs well enough and therefore ignored them, and some simply looked down on thumbs...

However, no matter which type it is, it doesn't matter to the thumb.

Thumbs don't care who you are; they're just responsible for integrating the surrounding neighborhoods. If you were integrated midway, it just means you're unlucky.

For an entire day, Thumb worked like a mad dog, frantically integrating the surrounding gangs. In just one day, at least twenty surrounding gangs surrendered to Thumb and became affiliated gangs... In an instant, the area under Thumb's control expanded by at least two times.

For Texas, this is of course due to the deal with Hugh.

It was not difficult for Thumb to complete such a deal. As for the gangs that surrendered, they were not important to Thumb either.

It cannot be transformed into effective combat power. Even if they are used as cannon fodder in tomorrow's war, even the thumb may not look down on these people.

In other words, it really is the type where one more of them doesn't make a difference, and one less of them doesn't make a difference...

So, in this case, it's Hugh's turn to come on stage.

As for these gang members who didn't care about Thumbs, T Company almost accepted them all with a smile.

Every gang was taken to a place of time-sucking by T Company. During their stay, they were promised things like free food and lodging... but they had no idea what was waiting for them.

However, T Company did not care about their ideas. They just kept accepting members from surrounding gangs.

Although a gang does not have as many people as a family can provide, but when added up, it is not a small amount!

So, just like that, T Company had a great time that day.

The number of people being transported to T Company's time extraction site has almost doubled... According to Xio's estimate, it won't be long before at least 22 people will be continuously producing time for T Company, each person generating hours of time per day. For the time being, this is more than enough for T Company.

At dusk that day, the thumb stopped expanding, not because it could not eat any more, but because if it expanded any further, it would reach the territory of the Saluzzo family.

For such large items, it is better to leave them for tomorrow to deal with formally.

Meanwhile, Company T had already finished their appetizer. Next up was the long-awaited main course...

Texas still hadn't forgotten her deal with T Company. They had a second agreement: tomorrow morning, Thumb would officially launch a war against the Bellone family... Afterward, Thumb would be responsible for luring out Zaro, while T Company would handle Zaro's destruction.

At the same time, T Company also promised that the Saluzzo family would be involved in this incident...

So the thumb stopped moving temporarily and began to wait for the next day.

As for the wolf hunter, he hadn't made any significant movements during the entire day of the thumb expansion. There had been no reports of sightings. Texas was a little worried about this, but seeing Hugh's calm demeanor, he gradually felt relieved.

It’s not a big problem. There’s still the deal with Xio…if something really goes wrong, T Company will take the blame.

So Texas began to wait quietly for the next day.

At the same time, news finally came from Lappland - news about abnormalities in the Saluzzo family.

According to Lappland herself, she left the Saluzzo family immediately after understanding the situation. She was currently hiding in Syracuse and preparing to head to the city. Upon learning this, Texas temporarily put Lappland aside and began to sort out the intelligence Lappland had sent her.

The more he sorted, the more Texas frowned.

According to the information sent by Lappland... the recent abnormalities in the Saluzzo family seem to be related to the "Wolf Lord".

However, it wasn't that the original Wolf Lord had suddenly gone mad or something... Based on the skeptical tone in the newspaper Lappland sent, Texas read out this speculation:

Lappland suspected that the Wolf Lord in the Saluzzo family had been replaced.

When Texas read this, he raised his head and looked at Xio and his group, who he had called over, and asked softly:
