"Everyone... do you have any ideas?"

"It can only be 'wolf', right?"

Xio glanced at Da'at beside him and said casually. Carly looked into the distance, not saying anything, but unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Well... no matter how you look at it, it's just going to be a big, possibly bad wolf."

Then, Da'at exhaled lightly and spoke seriously. Texas remained silent, frowning.

It turned out to be in the Saluzzo family... But, was it the Wolf Lord who replaced the Saluzzo family?

But why is this happening…and what exactly caused this surge in aggression among the Saluzzo family?

"Miss Texas, have you ever heard of marking territory?"

Then, still nonchalant, Hugh spoke, a faint smile playing on the corner of his mouth. Texas suddenly raised his head and looked at Hugh.

But Xio just smiled, and then said softly:

"Anyway...it's time for the main event to begin."

Then, Xio turned around and looked thoughtfully at Da'at and Carly.

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

Soon, time slowly came to the next day...

The battle is about to begin.

When Carly woke up from her sleep, it was six o'clock in the morning. She subconsciously walked out the door and went to Da'at's room to see how Da'at was sleeping.

However, when she arrived at Da'at's room, her face froze.

Da'at...is not in the room.

She disappeared

Chapter 163:159 Little Red Riding Hood Mercenaries Appear, Carly's Fury, and the Battle Begins

Da'at...why wasn't he in the room?

At that moment, Carly felt a surge in her heart, not sure whether to call it worry or fear.

She almost subconsciously took two steps forward and opened the quilt, but then she was faced with a more concrete reality—

—Da'at is not in the room.

She immediately rushed out of the room, hoping that Da'at had simply woken up early and was therefore not in the room...that was all.

But, obviously, that hope was dashed.

Carly walked all over the Thumb's base, but couldn't find Da'at. At that moment, her steps slowly stopped, and an inexplicable anger rose in her mind.

Da'at's figure disappeared. When he walked around the corner of the corridor, Xio and Carly passed by each other. Then, Carly grabbed Xio's shoulders without any hesitation and pressed him against the wall, staring into Xio's eyes.

Xio frowned slightly, but then, still looking at Carly calmly, he spoke softly:

"what happened?"

"...Da'at, disappeared."

Carly's voice was a little hoarse as she spoke. At that moment, a rather fascinating look seemed to flash across Quinn's eyes... at least that's what she saw. Then, Quinn gently raised his hand, brushing away Carly's hand that was still on his shoulder. He then paced around with a frown on his face.

"...I saw Da'at go out last night. Hasn't he come back yet?"

Then, Xio raised his head, looked at Carly, and asked with a frown.

"...You saw her last night?"

A fierce look seemed to grow in Carly's eyes. After Da'at left, the city's fierceness and bloodiness, belonging to the Crimson Mist, would be fully unleashed.

"Don't be so anxious... If Da'at has disappeared, the situation might be quite serious... I'll send someone to investigate immediately. Please wait for me for a moment."

"how long it takes?"

"Half an hour."

Xio answered without turning his head, threw a communicator to Carly, and then immediately left the corridor. Carly looked at Xio's departing back and felt very annoyed for a moment.

She couldn't help but pull out a cigarette from her waist and light it up. This was the first time she had taken out a cigarette since arriving on the land of Terra.

"...Da'at, you must be alright..."

Then, looking at the smoke ring rising slightly in the air, Carly murmured softly.

Then, she took out the Mimic EGO from the dimensional bag, threw the dimensional bag to the ground, and walked straight out of Thumb's base.

In the still dim light of Syracuse, a drizzle of rain fell, as if to cleanse the bloodstains from the earth.

The red figure then carried the sword on his shoulder and walked straight out of the street.

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

At the same time, Xio did not immediately go to the T company staff to arrange the work, but walked directly to the door of Texas's room. He knocked on the door of Texas's room without pausing for a moment.

Then, without waiting for Texas to speak, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in, causing Texas to look at Hugh with a slightly surprised expression.

To be honest... after knowing Xio for such a long time, this was the first time Texas saw Xio look so anxious.

"Hurry... Now, start fighting with the Bellone family immediately. It's time to prepare to provoke a conflict and close the net."

After walking in, Xio spoke very quickly.

"……Did something happen?"

Texas raised his head sensitively and asked.

"...If we were any later, it would probably be too late...the matter would have become far more serious than we originally anticipated."

Xio let out a breath and said so. However, Texas noticed that Xio had a smile on his face when he said this.

A kind of... creepy smile, as if looking forward to something that has not happened.

"How big of a commotion is it?"

"The whole of Syracuse was washed in a bloody rain. Do you think it was a big deal?"

Texas shuddered subconsciously when she heard Xio's words. She knew that was definitely not something a wolf hunter would do... For a wolf hunter, it probably couldn't do that much.

Xio looked at Texas and smiled brightly. "I admit it was a good show... but unfortunately, for T Company, the profit it made wasn't enough."

It's also not in the city's best interest. That would draw too much attention...

Xio thought secretly in his heart at the same time.

"Anyway, hurry up."

Finally, after leaving these words, Xio walked out the door again. Texas let out a long breath, sat down, and after a moment of contemplation, picked up the communicator on the table.

Then, she calmly gave the order to start the battle to the thumb commanders in the communicator.

At the same time, after leaving the room, Xio also picked up the communicator. He first contacted the Bellone family, notifying them to start the operation, and then hurried to the temporary base of T Company. When he arrived there, he sent a communication to Carly.

"...Hey, Carly, we found the person."

"where?"

The sound of dripping rain came from Carly's side, and then Carly's urgent and somewhat impatient voice sounded.

"Found it at the Saluzzo family's place... Judging from Da'at's previous tracks, he should have gone there."

Xio spoke calmly, and then he heard the sound of Carly sheathing a knife, followed by the sound of the blade scratching the ground.

"…What were you doing just now?"

"I was looking for Da'at and asked a few passersby on the street."

Carly replied coldly, then left a final word: "Don't bother me anymore... If I find out your information is wrong, I will come back immediately, put a knife to your neck, and wait for you to give me the correct information."

After saying that, Carly immediately hung up the call. Quinn threw the communicator aside, lying back on the bench with a bright smile on his face.

"……so good."

Then, he whispered softly, raising his hands as if hugging something.

"Then let me take a good look at how brilliant this scene can be, right?"

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

On the other side, after Thumb officially announced the war with the Bellone family, Texas paced in Thumb's base. After a moment, he sighed and walked out of Thumb's base.

As the boss of Thumb... Since Thumb's current development is not the best, I still need to go out and take a look at the situation...

Thinking of this, she walked out of the door. But at that moment, a musket bullet suddenly hit her. Texas' pupils suddenly contracted, and then she stepped back, barely avoiding the bullet.

Then, she suddenly raised her head, only to see a red hood flash past her, and the next moment, the sickle was already in front of her.

"Found... another wolf."

Then, the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary looked at Texas in front of him and whispered so.

Chapter 164:160 The Crimson Mist rushes to the battlefield, and a large and potentially bad wolf appears

"Found another wolf..."

The Little Red Riding Hood mercenary lowered his body, swung his sickle, and said this to Texas. At that moment, Texas felt a sense of urgency as if her hair was exploding. She retreated without hesitation, dodging the fatal blow at the cost of a bleeding wound on her neck.

How come... you suddenly appear here?

Could it be that...Xiu had already anticipated this scene? !

Thinking of what Xio had said to him, that he was also a target of the Little Red Riding Hood mercenaries, a somewhat horrified thought flashed through Texas' mind for a moment.

However... despite this, there seem to be some unexpected discoveries.

Is the other party communicable?

After dodging the fatal blow, such thoughts flashed through Texas' mind...but it only lasted for a moment.

Then she raised her head, looked at the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary in front of her, let out a long sigh, and thought of a countermeasure in her mind.

What should I do—how should I survive?

Before the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary raised his musket, Texas's brain was working rapidly, and he thought of perhaps the only way to help him escape danger -

——We can't defeat them by force, and Xio has already left. So, there is only one way to escape...

"Wait a minute!"

Covering the blood on his neck with his hands, Texas lowered his body, gasped for breath, raised one hand, and shouted loudly:

"...I know, I know where the wolf is... I know where the wolf you're looking for, the big, possibly bad wolf, is!"

After shouting this, Texas noticed that the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary's body paused noticeably. From this, Texas was certain of one thing.

My own idea...right.

The other party responded to this sentence, which means that I am not the other party’s primary target, but a partner who can cooperate with me...!

Thinking of this, Texas gradually calmed her voice. She took a deep breath and then slowly said:

"Listen to me, I know the location of that wolf... I can take you to find it. Moreover, I can help you kill it. Are you willing to trust me? Are you willing to give a wolf like me a chance?"

Texas gritted her teeth, raised her hand, and looked at the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary. Then, she saw the red aura surrounding the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary gradually dimmed until it dissipated. Finally, she stood up straight, leaned against the door, and slightly closed her eyes, which were shining under her hood.

"……lead the way."

Finally, the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary left this brief message. Texas then let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat uncertain as he walked ahead of the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary.

"I know that guy is in the Saluzzo family... over there in the distance."

As they walked, she pointed the way to the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary. However, the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary just stared at Texas. Texas knew that if he took a wrong step, he would be killed.

So, she took a deep breath and racked her brains to think about how to let the Little Red Riding Hood mercenaries find the wolf...or rather, how to lure the wolf out.

And it was at this time that Texas received a call from Hugh.

She quickly answered the call, and then Xio's words came from the phone:

"...Little Red Riding Hood mercenaries, are they on your side?"

"Yes, it is indeed here with me. How did you know?"

Texas glanced at the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary and then said so.

"It's okay... You must have promised her that you would take her to find the wolf. Now you're worried about how to find it, right?"

Hugh said lightly, and Texas felt that Hugh seemed to smile on the other end of the phone. Then, Hugh's voice continued:
