".call."

Lucard was silent for a while, then said in a much calmer tone:

"You are all after money. You can use the traps to trap fish, but you must retain my rights to profit. Otherwise, I will never give it to you."

"Even if you are disgraced and your family is separated, how many years should you be locked up?" Christi thought to herself, who gave you the confidence to make such a request?

"Correct!"

"." Christie patted his ears, wondering if he had heard it wrong. After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, I agree to your request."

In order to realize the Queen's plan, the Fatui do need huge funds, which is why they try their best to use various means to make money.

This time, Northland Bank learned from the Tarn Fishing Tackle Factory about the reason for the loan that they had developed a special fishing net that could actively lure fish schools.

The top management of Northland Bank judged that this fishing gear had great potential, but as a formal foreign bank, they could not do anything blatant, so it was their debt handlers' turn to take action.

But Christie didn't expect that the old guy would suddenly become so tough.

But what's the use of agreeing to you? By then you will be dead, so go to the Kingdom of God and ask your Lord Barbatos for dividends.

Christie showed a sinister smile under the black mask.

"Really?" Lucard looked a little surprised. This devil actually agreed.

"Of course." Christie took two steps forward and patted his shoulder. Finally, she glanced at him sideways. "But you have to be quick. We don't want to wait any longer. Humph."

Christie ignored the poor guy Lucard and walked out of the alley without looking back.

At this moment, a bright light came from the left. Christi narrowed his eyes and quickly grabbed the wrist with his right hand. In his hand was a sharp dagger. In the dark night, it was extremely cold.

"Innocent!"

Christi snatched the dagger with a twist of her hand and threw Lugal, who was attacking from behind, against the wall.

"Sitting in the position of sales manager, you haven't exercised in how many years. You're even worse than a slime, too slow." Christi's words were full of coldness. "Some things are better known in your heart. You don't have to overestimate your own abilities!"

He took out a hunter's sacrificial knife with a strange structure from behind, and Christi continued, "You have to understand that although you are important, you are not necessary!"

".cough.cough."

The strong impact on his back made Lucard cough continuously, and the hand he used to cover his face was stained by the blood foam.

Looking at the alloy blade of the sacrificial knife that was approaching step by step, Lucard seemed to reflect his wife and children, the old friend he had deceived, and his own hard-working first half of life.

In the end, everything was just a fantasy.

He had thought from the beginning that if they couldn't come to an agreement, they would all be doomed, but he didn't expect that he would be so miserable.

Standing on the rooftop above the alley, Li Qiuzhi looked at the situation that had inexplicably turned into its current state. He felt that things had gotten out of hand and he couldn't let them cause any loss of life.

Chapter 38 Combat

Under the hood, the black debt collector's mask concealed Christi's calm expression, and the sacrificial knife in his hand emitted a cold light.

He didn't really want to kill the ungrateful thing in front of him. After all, it took so long to plan this thing, and it would be a waste to kill him and start over again.

A proper scare is very necessary.

Christi raised the sacrificial knife in his hand. Its design was more suitable for attacking from behind, but now he wanted to let this old man see the sharpness of his sacrificial knife, otherwise he would have to think so much!

When really facing life and death, Lucard's eyes still flashed a trace of regret. Was his previous action a bit reckless?

"Wait"

Before he could finish his words, he saw a sharp blade coming towards him from top to bottom. For a moment, Lucard was stunned.

The corners of Christi's mouth rose under the mask. He was pleased by Lukar's fear.

Just now.

A lightly spinning steel arrow silently entered his field of vision. Before Christi could react, he felt the sacrificial knife in his hand bounced out of his hand by a huge force.

After spinning twice in the air, the alloy blade pierced into the wall next to it, and the steel arrow was halfway embedded in the stone floor.

"Armor-piercing arrow!" Christie's pupils shrank, and she looked up at the roof where the arrow came from, "Who is it?!"

A man holding a bow and arrow was standing on the roof, but his face could not be seen clearly in the dark night.

"Plain Clothes Knight. You can't escape, just surrender."

This person is naturally Li Qiuzhi. In order not to make a wasted trip, he has to save the person.

Moreover, as a young man with normal values, he cannot remain indifferent to such bullying of the weak as far as he can.

"Plain Clothes Knight?"

Christi pulled out his sacrificial knife from the wall. He didn't understand for a moment what the "plainclothes knight" had to do with the Knight of Favonius. What made him angry was that there was a crack on the blade.

"Hmph. Playing tricks!" Christie snorted coldly.

When it comes to dealing with these guys with bows and arrows, there is no one who is easier than their debt collectors who specialize in stealth assassination.

As long as he succeeds in getting close to us, it will be no different from dealing with an unarmed weakling.

While thinking, Christi went directly into stealth mode, becoming even more invisible in the night. His stealth time was limited, so he held the sacrificial knife in his hand and used the walls on both sides of the alley to approach the man on the roof as fast as a bird.

Looking at the debt handler Li Qiuzhi who suddenly disappeared without a trace, he also understood that he had entered a stealth state, which should be regarded as an extraordinary ability different from the "Eye of God".

Although elemental power is the dominant force in the continent of Teyvat, there are other powers as well, such as Albedo's alchemy and Mona's astrology.

Even simple sword skills can have extraordinary power if they are practiced to the top level. After all, the big sister Beidou who was far away in Liyue used her martial arts to kill the giant sea monster "Haishan" after obtaining the Eye of God.

Since it has been passed down by word of mouth among the people of Liyue and has become a legend, it is likely that "Haishan" is not just a group of slime hillbillies.

Therefore, Li Qiuzhi was very interested in the debt handler's powerful "stealth" skills, as he was also in need of these powerful skills.

There are many ways to break the "stealth" of debt handlers.

The first is to use elemental force to radiate around, and when the debt collector is infected with a certain element, you can open the "elemental vision" to see the elemental traces on his body.

However, even among those who can master elemental power, only a few know the technique of "elemental vision".

Li Qiuzhi naturally wouldn't do that, but the debt handler's "stealth invisibility" was only visual invisibility. When his feet stepped on the ground and the wind brushed over his body, it would be no different from normal.

As someone who has learned "Hunter's Archery" to a certain level, he is good at listening to the wind and sounds and determining the position.

A steel arrow was put on the bowstring and shot. The armor-piercing arrow flew through the air and instantly nailed into the wall below. The sound of his clothes being torn seemed to indicate that he had been dodged.

"?!"

Christi looked at the armor-piercing arrow that had passed through her armpit, and a little cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her arm was almost pierced through.

He remained calm. This "plainclothes knight" was an excellent archer and he must not be careless before getting close to him.

Without stopping, he tapped the wall with his toes. The last touch was less than two seconds away. The debt handler Christie sneaked onto the roof, and the young man who called himself "plainclothes knight" was right in front of him.

But the sound of him landing on the tiles was too loud, and Li Qiuzhi shot another steel arrow at him.

"Boom."

There was a crisp sound, and Chris's mask was hit by an armor-piercing arrow and shattered in time.

The stealth time is about to end, and there is no time to go around. When the Alloy Blade Hunter attacks with his sword, the "stealth" state is automatically released.

Before Li Qiuzhi could nod his second arrow, a cold front silently cut through the air and came towards him, and the figure of the debt handler also appeared.

"Die!"

Christie sneered under the black mask. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for meddling in other people's business.

"Ah."

In Li Qiuzhi's eyes, the debt handler's attack was not very fast, just like the slime he met when he first traveled through time.

It seems that the ability of this debt handler is not very good in their organization.

Li Qiuzhi was the first to arrive. He loosened his left hand holding the Adventurer's hunting bow and raised it, grabbing Christi's wrist, preventing him from moving forward. The blade was only a hair's length away from him.

"How is it possible?!" Christie shouted through the mask in a slightly hoarse voice, but the surprise in it could not be concealed at all, "Aren't you an archer? Why?"

"Why are you so strong?"

Li Qiuzhi finished speaking for him with a smile, twisted his left hand hard, and the debt handler let out a painful cry.

"Ahhh!"

Christi's right hand was in so much pain that he couldn't hold the sacrificial knife. It fell on the tiles with a clanging sound, and he fell to his knees on the ground, unable to stand steadily.

Damn it, he felt like he was fooled! Christi's heartbeat quickened, and a trace of fear flashed through his mind.

This man is not only good at archery, but also has a great physique, just like the inspector general above him. What should he do? Ask for mercy? But how can he do something that embarrasses Her Majesty?

"boom!"

Before he could think clearly, he felt a pain in the back of his head and then lost consciousness.

[Defeat powerful enemies and gain 435 experience points. 】

"Don't shout so loudly. What if you attract the Knight of Favonius on night patrol? I haven't even asked you about your stealth skills yet. You can't just hand them over like that."

Looking at the prompt for gaining experience points, Li Qiuzhi smiled and repeated what the debt handler had said to Lucard.

Looking at the person lying on the roof, he picked him up and jumped into the dark alley. There was still someone here.

A little late, I'm guilty of procrastination. (☆_☆) Thank you for collecting, reading, voting and recommending friends!

Chapter 39 Success

Li Qiuzhi brought the unconscious debt collector to Lucardo and frowned at the blood on his mouth.

"Mr. Lucard, are you okay? How do you feel?"

"Ahem. I'm fine. Thank you very much for saving me." Lucard coughed twice. Judging from his complexion, it seemed that there was nothing serious and the injury was not severe.

"Are you the Knight of Favonius?"

Lucard slowly stood up leaning against the wall. Apparently, after hearing Li Qiuzhi's self-introduction, he thought that he was the Knight of Favonius on night patrol and had discovered something unusual here and had come here to save him.

"No!" Li Qiuzhi did not put down the person in his hand. He said directly, "Your old friend Sanborn asked me to investigate you. He knew that you lied to him by falsely reporting the price of the goods."

".I see."

He is an adventurer. Lucard was silent for a moment before he sighed and said:

"I am sorry to Sanborn. I didn't expect that I would be saved tonight because of his commission. It's really unpredictable."

"There was really no other way. The Northland Bank was pressing me hard, so I had this evil idea." Lucard said as he felt his face flush and he couldn't even lift his head.

After all, deceiving friends is extremely shameful no matter where it happens.

"Forget it, you should talk to Sanborn about this.

"And I heard what you just said. Mr. Sanborn told me that if you really have difficulties, I can help you. But since you owe money to Northland Bank, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

Li Qiuzhi looked helpless. This was indeed the case. He accepted the commission just for Mora. Who would have thought that the ultimate goal of the commission was to help Lucar repay the loan? Isn't this a paradox?

Unless Sanborn is willing to pay the money, but how is that possible? The amount of loans used for research and investment cannot be small. Sanborn is just the owner of a fishing tackle store.

"No, thank you very much. It is true that the new fishing gear has just been successfully researched. If you want to mass-produce it, you need to invest a lot of money. I can only go to jail with nothing."

Although Lucard was still unwilling, he could not change this fact.

Without the organization behind Christi and the Northland Bank to mediate, he would soon be sued by the Northland Bank and would unsurprisingly be sentenced to use his property to pay off his debts and then go to jail.

"Well, before you go to jail, you should accompany me to Mr. Sanborn to explain the situation clearly. That way, my commission will be fulfilled."

Although Li Qiuzhi saved him, he did not sympathize with him. After all, he was a guy who deceived his friends, and it was hard for Sanborn to trust him so much.

".Uh, I'm going to jail soon, is it okay if I don't go?" Lucard really didn't have the face to go.

Li Qiuzhi put his hand on the hilt of the sword tied to his waist and said in a threatening tone:

"What do you think?"

"Well, well, okay then."

Lucard felt his legs go weak even as he leaned against the wall, and his voice was trembling.

Bringing Lucard to Sanborn's fishing tackle shop, Li Qiuzhi was really not interested in watching the embarrassing scene of the two old men.

He asked Sanborn to get a thick hemp rope, then found a secret place to trap the debt collector like a dumpling, and then slapped him awake.
