190 Not even worthy of licking my feet!
However, Duane had very little information about the mastermind behind the scenes. After several days of investigation, all he knew was that the person was a man in his twenties. This was deduced from the conversations he continuously listened to between Alvin and the mastermind on the surveillance recordings. Besides that, he knew nothing about the person.
Nevertheless, Duane didn’t give up. He knew that after Alvin’s death, the mastermind would continue to search for people like Alvin to do their bidding. So in recent days, he had been wandering around the city, trying to find people who seemed suspicious. However, most of the people he encountered were either zombies or ordinary individuals without any supernatural abilities.
After looking at some paper maps, Duane decided to go to a community called QS. Yesterday, an ordinary person had told him that a rat clan called the Murder God Gang had risen in the QS community. Overnight, they had practically taken over half of the city and killed many of their opponents.
This made Duane sense something abnormal, so he decided to investigate the Murder God Gang today. After studying the streets near the QS community, Duane prepared to leave the base.
“Captain, how about I go with you this time? I’m so bored here by myself. Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back. After all, I’m a Level 4 esper!” Shirley stood up quickly as she saw Duane preparing to leave. While speaking, she picked up her dagger, leaving no room for Duane to say anything.
Seeing this, Duane smiled helplessly. He knew that this girl had been feeling bored all alone at the base for the past few days and had wanted to go out for some fresh air. After considering it for a moment, he thought that it wouldn’t hurt to take her along on this opportunity.
It would also help alleviate the suppressed emotions they both had been feeling these past couple of days. So Duane nodded at Shirley, and the two of them headed towards the QS community.
Along the way, they encountered several scattered zombies, all of which Shirley dispatched with a single slash of her dagger.
Soon, they arrived on a street near the QS community. Shirley was about to walk into the community when Duane pulled her back.
“Don’t move, there are people at the entrance,” Duane whispered. Shirley quickly crouched down and looked towards the community entrance. Indeed, two individuals were standing there, each holding a large machete. They appeared to be the gatekeepers.
“Captain, I can handle those two weaklings!” Shirley didn’t even consider them a threat, drawing her dagger and preparing to charge over.
“Don’t alert them!” Duane once again stopped Shirley.
“We’re here today to gather information. If we alert them, it won’t be good.” From the ordinary person, Duane had learned that the two leaders of the Murder God Gang were quite powerful; otherwise, they wouldn’t have subdued all the rat clans in the city overnight. Even some espers had died at their hands.
The purpose of Duane visit today was to see if there was any connection between the members of the Murder God Gang and the mastermind behind the scenes. If they were to alert them, not only would they not obtain any information, but they might also put themselves in danger. At that moment, one of the individuals at the entrance yawned and said something to the other person before walking to the nearby duty room and lying down, apparently falling asleep.
“Shirley, go and fetch that guy over there without alarming the other one,” Duane said to Shirley as he looked at the remaining person.
Shirley nodded and stood up, walking confidently towards the gatekeeper. The man took a cigarette from his pocket and just lit it, holding it in his mouth. As he looked up, he saw Shirley striding towards him. Although Shirley had recently come of age, her figure had already developed beyond the ordinary.
Combined with Shirley’s lively and charming aura, the man couldn’t help but stare. Before he could say anything, Shirley approached him gently and said, “Big brother, my feet are hurting. Could you take me home? It’s not far ahead.”
As Shirley showed a pained expression, she looked at the man with a pitiful gaze. This caused Duane, who had been observing from a distance, to involuntarily twitch at the corner of his mouth. However, the man instantly succumbed to temptation!
“Don’t worry, little sister. Big brother loves helping others! Why don’t you come inside with me first, and I’ll take a good look at your ankle?” The man stared at Shirley with a lecherous smile, his gaze fixed on the two bulging buns that couldn’t be concealed by her clothes, eagerly rubbing his hands together. He never expected such a fortunate encounter today; he thought he should make the most of this opportunity and indulge himself.
“You’re so kind, big brother! But you’re not even worthy of licking my feet!” Shirley stared at the man with disdain, her tone suddenly becoming ice-cold.
The man was taken aback and then felt Shirley’s knee strike his abdomen. His vision darkened, and he fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes again, he found his hands and feet bound, and Shirley and Duane standing before him.
“You little bitch! How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?” the man said angrily, looking at Shirley.
“Smack!” Duane raised his hand and slapped the man’s face hard. “Watch your mouth!” Duane’s slap was forceful, and the man saw stars in front of his eyes. .𝘯𝘵
“Tell me about the situation with your boss, or else…” Duane drew a chin-high dagger from his waist, its cold blade gleaming.
“You’re dreaming! I advise you to release me quickly. Otherwise, when my boss finds out, you’ll all die! You’ve provoked the Murder God Gang, and no one can escape!” The man, relying on Eamonn and Augu’s power, began to become reckless.
Duane shook his head and glanced at him disdainfully. “you refuse to answer, you’ll have to taste the penalty.” In the next moment, Duane plunged the dagger into the man’s thigh, and blood immediately flowed out. The man grimaced in pain, his face turning pale.
“Will you talk now?” Duane raised the dagger again and asked.
“Big brother, big brother! I’ll talk, please don’t stab me anymore!” The man immediately surrendered, losing his previous arrogance. He then revealed what little information he knew about Eamonn and Augustus. As a low-ranking member, he wasn’t aware of much known by the two bosses. He only knew that they hadn’t awakened their esper abilities before and somehow became Level 6 espers.
“Level 6 espers?” Duane was surprised. He didn’t expect these two guys to have such a high esper level, surpassing even him. He immediately speculated that they must have received assistance from the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for them to become espers so quickly.With these thoughts, Duane furrowed his brow.
