Stepping into the alley, Wen Xiangjie saw the crime scene.
Several masked individuals were forcefully stuffing someone into a sack, attempting to abduct him.
Hearing Wen Xiangjie’s footsteps, the masked figures turned their heads to look at her; one of them, who had been slacking off in the corner, waving his two hands in the air as if working, had his only exposed eye glint with excited light.
“Oh, quite lively, isn’t it? Buying skewers and getting a dinner show?” Wen Xiangjie said with her arms crossed, looking amused.
One masked person asked with a grave expression, “The new Tower Master of Gladiator Tower, Wen Xiangjie?”
“Didi Ride-Snatch Organization?” Wen Xiangjie retorted.
The masked person’s mouth, hidden beneath the scarf, twitched.
Their organization’s name was clearly Night, alright?
Although they indeed did the work of helping to snatch cards, being called that made him feel the humiliation of having his fig leaf forcibly ripped away.
According to Wang Zhizhen, this organization called Night took on jobs to snatch cards; they would, based on the client’s needs, use various methods to trick the target into a safe zone like the shopping street, then forcibly kidnap him and take him to a dangerous zone like the Gladiator Tower, where they would initiate a forced battle to snatch his cards.
This line of thinking, as expected of an illegal organization.
The reason they could guarantee the successful completion of every order was that the leader of the Night organization possessed a legendary card.
And this leader of the Night organization had never revealed his true face; no one knew his real identity.
Watching the confrontation between Wen Xiangjie and the leader of the Night organization, Wang Zhizhen was both excited and nervous.
Based on her tracking of the Night organization, to obtain the legendary card in the Night organization leader’s hand, she needed to figure out what card the Night organization leader had been desperately seeking for so long.
Then, she also had to find a way to obtain this card before the Night organization leader, use this card as a bargaining chip to gamble with the Night organization leader, and at the same time, defeat the Night organization leader who possessed a legendary card, only then could she obtain this legendary card.
It could be said that the difficulty of obtaining the legendary card from this Night organization side quest was extremely high; in fact, many players who entered the game dungeon in previous sessions didn’t even find clues to this side quest.
Wang Zhizhen originally wanted to clarify what card the Night organization leader wanted, and then discuss with the goddess how to act.
Unexpectedly, the goddess said that this was enough, and then brazenly stormed into the Night organization’s card-snatching scene.
As expected of the goddess; although she didn’t know how the goddess would manage to snatch the legendary card from the Night organization leader, she believed Wen Xiangjie was not reckless and surely had her own methods.
“Our Night organization and Gladiator Tower have always kept to ourselves; may I ask why Tower Master Wen is here?” The Night organization leader glanced at the continuously struggling sack behind him.
“Could this person be Tower Master Wen’s friend? If so, our Night organization is willing to release him immediately and apologize to your friend.”
“Not at all, as I said, I was just passing by to buy skewers, heard some noise in the alley, so I came to take a look, that’s all, please continue.” Wen Xiangjie smiled slightly.
“Since you were just passing by, and now you’ve seen what we’re doing, may you please leave?” The Night organization leader asked warily.
Regarding Wen Xiangjie, the new Tower Master of Gladiator Tower, their Night organization had naturally collected relevant information about her.
Wen Xiangjie possesses a legendary combat card; after defeating the former Tower Master of Gladiator Tower, she took a legendary card from the former Tower Master of Gladiator Tower, which means Wen Xiangjie has two legendary combat cards, which the Night organization cannot afford to offend, which is why the Night organization leader was so polite to Wen Xiangjie.
“Didn’t I say I need a dinner show when I eat skewers? A live-action version is certainly more interesting than a staged one.”
No sooner had Wen Xiangjie finished speaking than the voice of the skewer stall owner came from outside the alley.
“Boss Wen? Your skewers are ready!”
Hearing the skewer stall owner’s call, Wen Xiangjie happily turned and left to get her skewers.
Seeing Wen Xiangjie leave, a subordinate quickly asked, “Leader, what should we do now?”
The Night organization leader’s expression shifted for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said, “Proceed as planned.”
If the person in this sack was Wen Xiangjie’s friend, letting him go would be fine, considering it as doing Wen Xiangjie a favor.
But if they simply backed down from today’s business because they encountered Wen Xiangjie and feared her, their Night organization’s reputation would be ruined once word got out.
Fortunately, he also held a legendary card; as long as he quickly completed today’s order, even if Wen Xiangjie wanted to snatch the legendary card from his hand, she couldn’t do so due to the rules of forced duels.
He turned his head and looked sinisterly at the few newcomers who had just joined the Night organization.
He didn’t believe Wen Xiangjie’s explanation; someone must have leaked the whereabouts of their plan to Wen Xiangjie.
“Night One and Night Two, take the person to our base in the Gladiator Tower area. Night Three, keep an eye on these newcomers here. After this operation, check all the communicators they handed over.”
“Yes,” Night One, Night Two, and Night Three responded in unison.
During every operation, all participating members of the Night organization had to hand over their communicators in advance; otherwise, Wang Zhizhen could inform Wen Xiangjie at any time, and it would be even safer to notify the goddess to act once they reached the Gladiator Tower area.
As Night One and Night Two dragged the sack out, they smelled a strong aroma of grilled skewers.
Immediately followed by familiar footsteps, Wen Xiangjie, carrying a bag of skewers in her left hand, was happily eating a skewer in her right hand.
“What stage are we at? I didn’t miss any exciting plot, did I?” Wen Xiangjie asked, swallowing the meat from her skewer.
The Night organization leader did not respond to Wen Xiangjie, instead leading Night One and Night Two, dragging the sack, towards the Gladiator Tower area.
The strong aroma of grilled skewers consistently followed them from behind.
This was the first time Wen Xiangjie had not used a map to switch areas.
She brazenly followed the Night organization members, taking a hidden path, and arrived at the edge of the Gladiator Tower area.
From the moment he stepped onto the edge of the Gladiator Tower area, the Night organization leader’s tension heightened.
He would occasionally scan Wen Xiangjie, who had been following them, with wary eyes.
Especially when Wen Xiangjie finished her last skewer, took out a napkin to wipe her mouth, and then threw both the skewer stick and the napkin into the trash can, his vigilance instantly reached its peak.
