64: Captured Weihe

"Moreover, today in the mine, a Space Mage suddenly appeared. Based on my perception, he should be a Saint Archmage-level mage. To think he is actually Wei He's subordinate; this Wei He is definitely not simple!" Bartli continued.

"What? That long-lost space magic, and he's already reached the Saint Archmage level? Then... then what about my brother?" The beautiful woman's tears began to flow. Her pitiful appearance made Bartli feel a surge of heat.

"He'll be fine. Looking at that Special Envoy's demeanor, he'll likely just make him suffer a bit. Ah! Be good, don't worry. I'll spend some money to get him out in a few days, alright?" As Bartli spoke, he carried the beautiful woman into the bedroom.

Outside the Lords Mansion in Laiseluo City, a group of masked men in black hid in the darkness, observing the surroundings.

"How is it? Have you scouted everything clearly?" Man in Black A asked in a low voice.

"I've seen it clearly. There are no servants or maids in the manor, only a few strange-looking people wandering around!" Man in Black B said.

"Good. Be careful when we go in later. Once we finish this job, we can go back and enjoy wealth and glory! Heh! Heh! Heh! Heh!" Man in Black A said with a look of longing.

"Yes!" The group leaped lightly over the wall and arrived at the front courtyard of the Lords Mansion. As a result, everyone was shocked into silence by the scene before them.

"That's not right. When we were scouting this morning, this place was very open. In just one day, when was a wall built?" Man in Black B could hardly believe his eyes.

"Forget it. Since we're already here, climb over it!" Man in Black A ordered.

The group immediately climbed over again, only to find themselves in a narrow passage. Everyone was bewildered and could only slowly continue forward.

Wei He watched all this from the base screen. He had discovered this group of assassins scouting earlier that morning. So, he spent the afternoon using red alert walls to build a maze in the front courtyard.

The group of men in black wound through the narrow passages. Because it was dark and they were inside a maze, they soon became separated.

After Man in Black B got lost, being alone in the maze caused his mental state to break down. He tried to climb over a wall to get out, but as soon as he did, he saw a tree at the end of the passage.

"Why is there a tree here?" While Man in Black B was wondering, the tree suddenly flashed with fire. His entire body was set ablaze, and the flames quickly consumed him.

"Ah! Help!" The assassins in the passage became terrified upon hearing the tragic scream. At the same time, the tree at the end of the passage revealed its true form; it was actually a Phantom Tank.

"Boss, that sounded like Second Brother. Second Brother has been killed!" Man in Black C said fearfully.

"As assassins, there will always be a day like this. Hurry out and kill the target to avenge Second Brother!" Man in Black A encouraged the others.

"En! I'll listen to Big Brother!" Man in Black C followed the boss to a corner of the passage, where a person glowing green all over stood.

Man in Black A clearly felt that this person's energy was extremely powerful. Just as he was about to tell his brothers to retreat, Man in Black C rushed forward, shouting, "Avenge Second Brother!"

The person glowing green shouldered a cannon that was also emitting green light. A green ray shot out from the muzzle and hit Man in Black C. With a scream, Man in Black C's entire body turned into a pool of green pus on the ground.

All this happened in the blink of an eye. Looking at the scene before him, even though Man in Black A had killed many people, he was broken out in a cold sweat. He tried to climb over the wall to escape.

However, waiting for him on the other side was a multifunctional infantry vehicle carrying a Chrono Legionnaire. Under the cover of night, Man in Black A failed to notice it in time. When he was hit by the Eraser Ray, he felt a fluctuation of spatial energy. Unfortunately, it was too late; a moment later, he vanished from the spot.

The others in the maze were being slaughtered by Huang Yichen. Their deaths were extremely miserable, with severed limbs and blood everywhere.

"Hmph, just a bunch of low-lifes. Daring to come out as assassins when they've only reached the Control Level!" Huang Yichen said with a look of disdain.

When everything in the maze had settled, one fish that escaped the net luckily avoided all the ambushes. He successfully left the maze and ran toward Wei He's room.

A golden blade was pressed against Wei He's neck. Above the blade was an arm; this man in black was also a Metal-element ability user.

"Come with me, or I'll separate your head from your body!" the man in black said in a threatening tone.

"Fine! I'll go with you!" Wei He said with a calm face.

Inside Carlos's residence in Laiseluo City, the lights in the study were still on. No servants were allowed near the study.

In the study, Carlos's eyes revealed a feverish longing, and this longing was about to be realized.

"Hahahaha, Wei He, we meet again. You didn't expect this, did you? Even though you could defeat hundreds of thousands of Magic Empire soldiers, you still fell into my hands! Hahahaha!" Carlos looked at Wei He almost frantically.

The candlelight flickered in the breeze. The dim light shone on Wei He's face, revealing a look of bewilderment as he weakly asked, "You don't have some kind of special fetish, do you?"

"Lord Carlos, the mission is complete. It's time to pay the balance. We lost dozens of brothers this time, so you have to pay more! Heh! Heh! Heh!" the man in black beside him said excitedly.

"Oh, you've worked hard this time. The balance is ready, mm!" Carlos said with a smile, pointing to several large chests in the corner.

"Hahahaha, thank you, Lord. Lord, if there's any more work like this in the future, please look for me again. I'll definitely do a beautiful job!" The man in black's eyes lit up as he opened the treasure chests, which were full of Energy Crystals and gold.

"Enough. Take the money and get out! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!" Carlos said with a face full of impatience.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm leaving now! Quick, move them out!" The man in black directed his accomplices who were waiting at Carlos's residence.

A group of people drove a horse-drawn carriage with over ten large chests filled with treasures toward the Lingshu Kingdom.

"Wei He, don't you have anything to say?" Carlos, now looking relaxed and smug, slowly sat at his desk and spoke triumphantly.

"I have nothing to say. Why do you keep trying to kill me? I already told you, I didn't kill Charlie. What evidence do you have to prove I killed Charlie?" Wei He's face showed a helpless expression as he questioned.

"Don't quibble anymore! You occupied Riquan City, causing everyone in Riquan City to perish. At that time, besides you, who else could have killed him?" When Carlos heard Wei He mention Charlie, his eyes immediately turned fierce, and he spoke angrily.

"Sigh, don't forget, you were the one who killed the people of Riquan City, not me. Moreover, my people were indeed pursuing Charlie at that time, but I really didn't kill him. A guy dressed all in black killed the people I sent to pursue him. Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Wei He wasn't lying. When Charlie was rescued by Jack, he had wiped out the Red Alert Troops Wei He had sent.

"You mean Charlie is still alive?" Carlos stared at Wei He and asked half-doubtingly.

"Uh, I wouldn't know about that. After all, the people I sent are all dead. The Constables who came back only knew how to run for their lives; they were so scared they didn't even dare to look back!" Wei He said with a serious face.
