Chapter 40 Conspiracy Massacre

  The next day, Azure suddenly received news that Purity had left the city for some unknown reason and was nowhere to be found. Although Gallo was suspicious of his intentions, unfortunately, he had already completely lost track of him.

  There's no way out of this situation, so I'd better calm down and hold back for now.

  With Gallo's help, Ikaros' wound healed quickly, and as soon as he recovered, this guy immediately ran to the training ground to practice his swordsmanship. Seeing that the other party was so enthusiastic, Gallo also stayed behind and pointed out a few weaknesses. Unexpectedly, it had already been half a month since then.

  Let Ikaros take a rest to recover, and Gallo walked around the city again, checked the traps he had set up during the day, and made sure everything was foolproof.

  Suddenly, Garo saw that the office door was half open and there was a faint light coming out. He walked over quietly to take a look and immediately burst out laughing.

  It's already so late, yet this child is still reviewing official documents. Looking at the magical lamp on the table, it seems that quite some time has passed.

  Jia Luo didn't make a sound and didn't go in. She quietly watched for a while before walking away, directly to the kitchen.

  The kitchen was empty now, but the remaining ingredients were still placed on the side. Gallo planned to make a midnight snack for Azure as a reward for the child.

  After taking a look, Galen picked up the calabaza, this fruit is similar to the pumpkin on Earth, but it's round in shape and tastes slightly better than pumpkin. Peel, chop, remove seeds, cut into small pieces, steam for a bit, then boil in water, add a small amount of sugar to the soup, and finally crack an egg white into it.

  The calabaza has a very light bitter taste, but for making midnight snacks for kids, it's always better to have something hot and sweet. First, use steaming to remove some of the bitterness, then when boiling with water, use sugar and egg whites to eliminate the rest of the bitterness. This way, only the smooth texture and sweet flavor of the calabaza are left.

  The azure blue that had been bowed in reading suddenly moved its nose, and a very comfortable sweet fragrance came over. Lifting up one's head, what was seen was Gallo holding a tray walking slowly towards him, only then did he feel his stomach was already hungry.

  "You must be tired, have something to eat." He gently placed the bowl in front of Bi Lian.

  Bì lán couldn't wait to open the lid, and the sweet fragrance became even more intense. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and hastily picked up a spoon to start eating.

  "Mmm, so fragrant, soft and sweet, it's really delicious! Sister Gala, did you make this?" She swallowed half a bowl in one breath, feeling much more comfortable in her stomach, before slowly savoring it.

  "What's wrong, little glutton? Can't these stuff your mouth?" Gallo laughed, a feeling he hadn't had in a long time.

  A person has lived for over a decade and should have learned how to cook by now. Besides alchemy experiments, Galois' greatest interest is cooking.

  After all, an experiment can take several days to complete without stopping, so it's not bad to comfort yourself with some delicious food during your free time. Moreover, the stable and heavy feel of the wok, combined with Gao Luo's cooking skills, will only continue to improve.

  I still remember the first time I cooked Chinese food, Jelamy teacher almost swallowed her own tongue, at that time her expression was exactly the same as Bick's now. Later on, I was also unlucky, Jelamy brought a bunch of Chinese cooking books from Guwu Alliance and said we had to eat three different dishes every day. Alas, thinking about it, that period of time was both bitter and happy.

  "It's delicious!" Bi Lian swept the sweet soup clean, licking her lips contentedly, and looked at Jia Luo "Sister Jia Luo, I didn't expect you to have such skills, hehe, whoever marries you in the future will be lucky."

  Jia Luo cried and laughed "Little ghost, stop making people think you're a big deal, or are you going to starve yourself from now on?"

  "Ah, yes, I'm telling the truth."

  After laughing for a while, Bi Lian finished reading the last few documents. "Right, Jia Luo sister, I received news that Pu Ji Te just came back tonight. He's been out for a day, what do you think he was doing?"

  "It's unclear, but I'm guessing this is definitely his plan. Now I have no idea what he's doing because this is almost the final battle. Two of his subordinates with aura were injured, and his losses must be severe. So I can guarantee that this time he has used some kind of poisonous scheme." Galo analyzed it for a moment, then sighed "This time, we've become passive. Alas, I don't know what to do next."

  Just as Rugal had expected, Go was planning to go all out. After all, time wasn't on his side. Fortunately, KOS and Tsuifeng's internal injuries had basically healed, and they had recovered their combat strength.

  "Father, you're back." Pre said as he went out to welcome his father back home.

  "It went very smoothly, everything was as expected, they agreed, and we will start tomorrow."

  "Uh-huh. Although it's a bit cruel, great things don't bother with trivial matters, can't take care of that many things. Alright, Father, I'll go arrange for someone to come."

  Chui Fengdao took his last breath for the moment, and all the injuries inside his body had fully recovered. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door outside, "Mr. Wind, Earl wants to see you."

  "Alright, I know." After the person outside the door left, Chui Feng Jian got out of bed, jumped up and retrieved a box from the rooftop before jumping back down.

  Open the box, a bright red long knife appeared in front of him, similar to the short knife he used before, just different in length.

  Gently stroking the blade, "Sigh, I didn't think it would come down to using you in the end. Hopefully, you won't let me down."

  Arriving at the hall, others had already arrived, even the giant bear was there. Prey looked around at everyone "Alright, this is the final battle, I hope you all go all out, if you win, you can happily take a large pile of money back to enjoy, if you lose... heh, no need for me to say more."

  The giant bear touched his severed wrist. "My three brothers and I have survived a lifetime of bloodshed, money is no longer important. My second brother is dead, I'm disabled, and we can't mix in this line anymore. But this vendetta must be avenged."

  "Alright, I'll arrange it, estimated action is in two days, we'll do it like this..."

  The next day, the castle lord's office.

  "What did you just say?!" Azure exclaimed in shock, finding it hard to believe that such a situation would actually occur.

  A gang of thieves that had been quiet for several months has started to be active again. Although Galo killed many people last time, this time three gangs seem to have merged and their methods have become extremely cruel. Just received news that they slaughtered nearly thirty people in two small villages near the city within one day, looting everything.

  "How detestable! They're asking for death!" Azure's anger flared up, and Gallo placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

  "Calm down, Azure, didn't you notice anything?"

  Azure took a deep breath and thought carefully, "Garo sister, you mean..."

  "That's right, it was probably arranged by Pujitai. You know, the thieves' gang here was originally in contact with him, and the city guards were established to prevent them. Now that they have taken such a big action, someone must have informed and reported, so this time's action is absolutely done at Pujitai's request."

  "It turns out that Pujie knew about our manpower shortage all along and wants to break us down in batches... If so, we've really fallen into his trap."

  "If we go, our forces will be scattered and it's absolutely not a wise choice. If we don't go, they'll continue on their own and the people won't be happy either. How about we let those Imperial Guards go instead?" The Imperial Guards that Bì Lán was referring to were that team of over three hundred people.

  Ka Luo shook his head. "No, it's not suitable. In this situation, they would be in great danger too. After all, the opponent is three evil gangs. If they fail, it would be unforgivable to them."

  "What's going to happen now?" Bi Lian anxiously asked.

  "...I'll go." After some thought, Gallo made this decision: "If I go, the safety will be very high and I will come back as soon as possible. This is the best way to prevent any accidents. You let Ikalo recruit some Imperial Guards to protect us, plus Mr. Hutt is here, so we don't have to worry too much about safety."

  Azure thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, Galo sister, you have to be careful."

  He stroked Bi Lian's blue hair "Little girl, what are you worried about? Alright, I'll go."

  According to Galo's arrangement, Beryl had Ikaros mobilize fifty people to guard the vicinity of the City Lord's mansion.

  "Father, I've received the news. That Garo has left." Prey immediately informed Pujit as soon as he received the message from his subordinate. "This is the best opportunity. What do you think we should do? I suggest letting Grandfather take care of that Garo, so we can be at ease. Moreover, a two-pronged approach would be good. Let me lead the team to the City Lord's mansion. As long as we successfully assassinate Beryl, it won't matter even if that person returns."

  "Alright, it's settled then. I'll go get your grandfather to come out, and you immediately bring the others over. Although it's a bit different from our original plan, it still works in our favor."
