If I hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have to pay to deal with those nasty guys!

"Well, let's deal with it as soon as possible, and then go back and tell the boss about this."

The expression on Lubbock's face restrained. He didn't think that the big deal Asuna mentioned would be a small matter.

After all, he is the great general of the empire!

After the other party realized his identity, instead of arresting him and bringing him to justice, he wanted to "talk business" with him and others?

Although the other party might be trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish, if the other party really wants to cooperate with them in the night raid...

"With her current status, even if she wants to target certain people within the empire, she can do it easily."

As Lubbock walked, he thought to himself, "But now she suddenly wants to cooperate with us, so the people she wants to target are naturally not those ordinary officials."

"It was inconvenient for her to do it herself, so she had to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of that person."

"Moreover, judging from the situation today, her rival is definitely quite powerful in the imperial capital..."

A name slowly emerged in Lubbock's mind.

"Although I haven't heard of any conflicts between them, it seems that this is undoubtedly a great opportunity!"

"But the premise of all this is that the masked general really wants to cooperate with us, not to arrest us."

After stepping down the last step of the stairs, the pensive look on Lubbock's face was suddenly replaced by flattery and fawning.

boom!boom!

"Open the door! Hurry up and open the door for me! Otherwise I will burn down your store!!!"

The shop door was kicked roughly twice, but it still stood firm, separating the world inside and outside.

"Hey, here it comes!"

Lubbock trotted over and opened the door for the group of "old men" outside.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

A man with a scar on his face, taking advantage of his height, asked Lubbock condescendingly.

"Yes, that's right, it's me, it's me, may I ask...what can I do for you?"

Lubbock carefully handed over a silver coin, a look of pain on his face.

Scarface's expression softened, and he skillfully put the silver coin in Lubbock's hand into his own wallet.

He put his arm around Lubbock's shoulders, patted his little head, and said:

"Tell me what that masked adult just talked to you about. Otherwise, the consequences will be something a small bookstore owner like you can't bear!"

"Ah, ah, I'll tell you everything. That lady..."

Looking at the ferocious face approaching him, Labok's body trembled suddenly, and he told the story of what had happened before in a trembling manner.

Of course, some cultural processing and polishing are inevitable in the later stage, and coupled with the superb performance of Lubbock, these people do not doubt him.

After all, the last person who dared to deceive them is now nowhere to be found.

"Hmm? They want to sell you books? You are so lucky, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

When he heard that Asuna was going to do a "big deal" with Lubbock, and then heard Lubbock say that the quality of the books in his store was not up to standard and that the adult asked him to quickly get a batch of good goods, the scarred man suddenly smiled from ear to ear.

In his opinion, the income from Lubbock's "deal" shortly afterwards had already become his own.

Hey, I didn’t expect that I could make a fortune just by taking a random task!

Since the masked general wants to buy books, he will definitely not be stingy with money, right?

"You are one of us from now on. If you have any trouble, just come to me!"

Scarface patted Lubbock's shoulder and looked at him as if he was looking at a moving mountain of gold.

"Hello, big brother..."

Lubbock quickly said ingratiatingly.

"Hey, we are all brothers, why are you being polite!"

Scarface patted Lubbock's shoulder again, and emphasized the word "brother" in his tone.

He shifted slightly, revealing his younger brother behind him.

The corner of Lubbock's mouth twitched, but he still held back his heartache and took out most of the money in his wallet with trembling hands.

"This... This is a gift from me to Big Brother and the brothers... Please, please accept it!"

"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing!"

Scarface's mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear, "Brother, I have something else to do. Let's get together again in the evening to discuss the purchase of goods!

Don't worry, brother. With me here, your deal will definitely not fail!"

57 Ubiquitous Surveillance

"Then...thank you, brother."

Rabbi tried to force a smile but his eyes kept looking at Scarface's wallet.

"Well, since there is nothing else to do, I will go back and report first, brother."

Scarface turned around, covered the purse, and waved to the brothers behind him: "Guys, let's go."

"Yes!!"

Having gotten a large sum of money for free, the younger brothers began to guess where their boss would take them to have fun tonight.

Moreover, before long, this "new brother" of his and others will do a big business with the masked general, and then he will make a lot of money again!

Moreover, only they know about this matter, so they don’t have to pay the big share to others. This is enough for them to live freely for a long time!

As for those spies who also heard about the “big business”?

Even if they reported the matter to their master, they would not dare to attack Lubbock openly.

After all, he is now the trading partner of the Masked General. If they act rashly against him, it might give Asuna a chance to attack them!

Although they have ministers above them, if Asuna really wants to take action against them, given the ministers' temperaments, they may not necessarily help them.

At that time, if you get yourself involved just because of a deal that seems to be nothing in their eyes, it will definitely not be worth it.

The spies who also understood this knew that they had no chance of getting the money, so naturally they would not do anything unnecessary.

Sometimes, if people are blinded by money, the price they need to pay in the future will be far more than the money can compare.

"Brother, walk slowly!"

Lubbock cried out in tears.

The scarred man just waved his hand with his back to him, then took out his purse which had become very full and tossed it up happily.

The sound of the coins colliding with each other seemed to be the most beautiful thing at that time. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly terrifying smile.

Even the scar on his face became distorted under that smile.

"Boss, boss, do you want tonight..."

A younger brother next to him also showed a lewd smile, and his tone contained a meaning that everyone understood.

"Hey, you useless guys, sooner or later you will be drained by women!"

Scarface slapped the guy on the head in annoyance, "How can you find a good woman with this little money?!"

He shook the money bag in his hand, his expression changed from the previous smile, his face became serious, and he said: "This little money is at most enough for the brothers to eat well!"

"If you want to really find a woman, it depends on whether that guy can make the deal!"

He stuffed the purse into his arms and continued: "Those big shots are afraid of getting into trouble, but I am not!"

Even if the other party really comes to his door, he can just find a younger brother to take the blame. Scarface has used this method countless times.

Moreover, he also maintained contact with certain people in the Imperial Capital Prison and the Imperial Capital Guard. The younger brothers he handed over would be released after being imprisoned for two or three days at most.

And how many of those big shots would care about these small-time thugs who are not presentable?

"Big brother is right, big brother is right!"

"That's right, it's absolutely right to follow Big Brother!"

His younger brothers immediately echoed and expressed themselves.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to go find those 'big shots' to report the situation. You guys can go back first."

Scarface waved his hand and spoke to his subordinates with an impatient look.

"Yes!"

They all responded, and then walked around the imperial capital arm in arm.

"These guys..."

Scarface cursed with a smile, then glanced around and walked quickly towards a restaurant on the street.

My Lords, this is what happened..."

He walked upstairs and entered a private room. He bent his originally straight waist, put on a smirk on his face, and reported to the people in the room the news he had received.

……

……

"This is the private money I saved with great difficulty..."

In the bookstore, Lubbock slumped in a chair, looking like he had lost all hope in life.

Even though they carry out night raids to "rob the rich and help the poor" every day, they have too few people and run away after the assassinations every day, so they don't have much time to collect their "activity funds".

The money in Labock's hands was what he had saved with great difficulty, and it was not the operating funds for Night Raid to maintain this stronghold.

It is precisely because of this that he feels so distressed.

But fortunately, those guys will use my money to drink tonight. When the time comes, I just need to "get" my money back before they pay.

However, I am not sure whether I can go to the appointment tonight.

After all, he would be "talking business" with the masked general tomorrow, so he must "decorate" his bookstore well.

"Let's go back and tell the boss about this first."

After patting the crowdfunding group number ④五六壹二79④0 and patting his own cheek, Labock stood up, changed his clothes, fixed his emerald green hair, put on a wig, and then quietly walked out from the back door.

On the other side, when Asuna entered the streets of the imperial capital again and joined the crowd, the spies following her also played their respective roles.

Just like before, they occupied every corner of the street, pretending to be ordinary passers-by, monitoring Asuna's every move.

"Although I'm not very hungry, I still want to go eat something."

Asuna looked at a restaurant on the street, smelled the fragrance coming from it, touched her stomach, turned around and walked towards the restaurant.

One of the waiters immediately put his hands behind his back, made a gesture, and then walked over to greet him.

"Hello……"

With a professional smile on his face, he took Asuna to a seat by the window on the second floor.

The next surveillance mission will be carried out by them.

……

……

Somewhere deep in the mountains north of the imperial capital.

"You mean, that masked man wants to cooperate with us at Night Raid?"

In the conference room, Najeshitan crossed her hands and clasped them in a pyramid shape, resting her chin on her hands, digesting the news that Lubbock brought from the imperial capital.

Yesterday Leone went to get some information and almost didn’t come back.

And today, one of their bases in the imperial capital was discovered. Although the other party did not arrest anyone immediately and even asked for cooperation, Najeshitan did not dare to gamble with the safety of all the members of the night raid.

58 The Dilemma of Najeshitan

"Go and call everyone over." Najeshitan raised her head and said to Lubbock.
