I like crossing the most

Chapter 486 Going to a brothel together is the beginning of a friendship between men

Lin was happy to take Clem to see the world.

After all, they are the guards of Her Royal Highness the Princess. If they have never seen blood or fought with strong men, it would be a lot of fun if their legs went weak and they couldn't move when they met a powerful enemy.

By then, not to mention protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess, he might even become a burden... although it's more likely that he'll shout out his heartfelt thanks and then explode.

And it is time to reap the fruits of training. The Sword of Fool that can reach the strong has been taught to the other party, and he is looking forward to seeing what he can achieve.

Perhaps Her Royal Highness the Princess also had this in mind, believing that Lin could protect him, and therefore allowed Clem to come over without permission.

Clem behind him had a determined and determined look on his face, but he didn't know that everything was arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and poor Tom was being played around by her.

When the young guard behind Lin's stand-in observed a moment of silence, he seemed a little nervous and flustered, but more eager to try.

He knew that he was about to step into danger.

In the past, Her Royal Highness the Princess would never allow herself to do this, and therefore had never encountered any danger. But she was about to fight a strong man, and that was the symbol of power and danger - Eight Fingers.

Can you win by yourself?
Will it be a hindrance?

What if expectations are not met?

Climb followed Lin unconsciously, his mind already occupied by these questions.

He knew that the only thing he could trust was the sword in his hand, because he was a fool without talent. Then he gripped the sword tightly and his body gradually tensed up.

However, this phenomenon did not last long. He soon realized how strange it was that he was on the street with a cold face and a tense body ready to go, and then he slowly relaxed his body.

But because of this, Clem soon discovered a strange problem.

"Master Lin, are we just the two of us?"

The enemy is Eight Fingers, the most powerful dark organization that controls most of the underground forces in the kingdom. Even if they want to destroy an insignificant brothel controlled by Eight Fingers, they have to gather people and stay vigilant.

But they had already come to the main street. If they turned into the alley and walked a little further they would be able to see the brothel. There were only two of them who could destroy the brothel.

Lin teased, "Are you scared?"

"No, I just thought it would be better to be prepared. Besides, since there are only two of us, it's inevitable that other criminals will get away, so..."

Although Clem was not very smart, he had learned what it meant to catch everything in one fell swoop after being influenced by the princess.

"Don't worry, my companions are right here, right?"

Snapped--

Lin snapped his fingers crisply.

Then, as if the pause button had been pressed, time stopped. No, that's not right! It wasn't time that stopped, but this space that stopped!
Whether it was the civilians walking back and forth on the street, the stall owners who were shouting their wares just now, the customers fighting for half-price vegetables, or the children playing on the street - all the young and old people, women and children on the street suddenly stopped at this moment.

Everyone was looking at them... no, to be exact, Lin.

The corners of his mouth were raised, his eyes curved upwards, it was clearly a smile but it made people feel creepy, fanatical worship gathered among the crowd and continued to be poured into the high priest beside him.

At this moment, Climb understood that these people were all Axis believers!
"…Although what I said is offensive, how should I put it… it's a bit disgusting."

"That's really offensive."

"Sorry, I'm rude."

The young guard felt physically uncomfortable. If he hadn’t known the character of the priest next to him, he would have suspected that the other party had used magic such as mind control. However, when he thought of the unique fanaticism and cohesion of the Axis believers, Climb was immediately relieved.

"So don't be afraid. Even if someone wants to escape, we can keep them."

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

No one wanted to run into the Axis cultists, especially those who were known for their paranoia. If they targeted someone, they would chase them to the ends of the earth. Even Climb couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the enemy.

"And, it's not just the two of us, there's also a friend."

"friend?"

Climb was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Before I could ask, I saw a well-dressed and elegant gentleman walking towards me from another exit of the alley.

Lin greeted him with a smile.

"Good evening, Mr. Sebastian."

"Good evening, Mr. Lin."

"What are you doing here?"

"walk."

"Walking? Here? I have to admit, your sense of direction isn't very good to be here."

"Haha, that's true. It's because of my poor sense of direction that I ended up here twice. It's really a headache."

Despite saying this, the old gentleman remained calm and stroked his beard. Obviously, the facts were different from what he said.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask who this gentleman is..."

"my friend."

Sebastian nodded and said, "I see. Nice to meet you. My name is Sebastian, and I'm a butler."

"I'm Clem, a guard."

In response to the gentle and elegant old butler's greeting, the young guard also hurriedly introduced himself.

"Okay, that's enough introductions."

While Lin interrupted, he said, "We are gathered here, there should be something more important, right?"

"Haha, you're right."

"Yes."

This shows that the three have the same goal.

"The store is behind this door. According to the assassin, there seems to be an entrance in the building over there as well." Sebastian said casually.

It seems that he has just been assassinated.

"By the way, this is my first time in a brothel. How should I knock on the door?"

"Well... I'm sorry, I've never been to a brothel either."

"Me too."

Going to a brothel together was the beginning of the men's friendship, but the friendship between the three ended before it even began.

"no way."

Sebastian took a step forward and approached the metal door, which looked quite heavy. Climb would never be able to push the door open, but it seemed like thin paper in front of Sebastian.

"By the way, I will try my best to capture them, but if they resist, I will kill them without mercy, is that ok?"

The old butler’s gentle smile sent a chill down Climb’s spine.

The other party's response was correct, and there was nothing wrong with it. If he were in the same situation, he would do the same thing. But even so, a sense of fear still ran through his spine, because Sebastian's expression was like he had a split personality - exactly the same as the Axis cultists outside.

He is a kind and gentle gentleman and a calm and insightful warrior. Tolerance and ruthlessness exist at the same time in his heart, to the point of being extreme.

Climb had a feeling that if he sent Sebastian in like this, he would kill everyone inside.

"It's ok."

Lin said: "While ensuring your own safety, it is inevitable to take a few lives. Just try to avoid meaningless killing. In addition, if you encounter someone who is suspected to be an Eight Finger cadre, please spare his life... No, even if you don't spare his life, at least ensure the integrity of his body."

Capturing important figures for questioning can reduce the number of future victims, and at the same time it can also help find Eight Fingers' lair, saving a lot of effort.

"I see."

Sebastian nodded and smiled gently, "I'm not a murderer. I'm not here to massacre people. Don't worry."

"Okay, let's get started."

They chose to split their forces into three groups.

Sebastian's mission was to sabotage and create chaos, Lin's mission was to rescue the victims inside and search for the suspected Eight-Finger cadre, and Climb was assigned to another exit to intercept the escapees, which was a safer mission.

Even so, there was still a chance that he would run into strong people who would flee upon hearing the name of Axis. Hopefully, his luck wouldn’t be that bad.

The three of them separated.

Facing the iron door again, Sebastian grasped the door handle and turned it, but stopped halfway. Since this was an underground business, the door was of course locked.

"I'm not good at unlocking, but... I have no choice but to use my method to unlock it."

The old butler muttered to himself in some trouble, and then he lowered his waist, put away his right hand to make a knife-hand gesture, and put his left hand in front of him. The posture was perfect, his torso was as stable as Mount Tai, and he was as calm as a thousand-year-old tree.

"call!"

What happened next was an unbelievable sight. The arm was inserted into the iron door, and it was the hinge. No, not only that, the arm kept sinking into the door with a low sound. The hinge wailed and said goodbye to the wall.

Sebastian pushed open the door that had lost its resistance.

"W-what...?"

As soon as you enter the door, there is a passage with a half-covered door at the opposite end. A big bearded man stands in front of it, with his eyes wide open and a look of idiocy on his face.

This is of course.

No one could have imagined that someone could dismantle the heavy iron door of the folding fan with bare hands. Even the six-armed master Jie Luo couldn't do it!
"Hey! What's wrong!"

"What happened!"

There was a shout from behind the man.

"The door was rusty, so I used a little force and managed to open it. I suggest you oil the hinges."

Sebastian gave the man considerate advice and closed the door, no, to be more precise, he leaned the door against the door frame.

Such humiliating words would have angered anyone else. However, the man was completely confused. He stared blankly at the old butler who walked in front of him and stammered, "Uh... Welcome...?"

People who work in such places should have been accustomed to violence, but the scene happening before their eyes was far beyond the common sense they had accumulated so far.

Ignoring his companions’ questions behind his back, the man smiled flatteringly at Sebastian.

Because his survival instinct told him that pleasing someone was the best option. No, maybe he was just trying to deceive himself into thinking that the other person was a guest's butler, which was why he reacted like that.

The bearded man's cheeks were twitching as he tried hard to put on a smile, which really didn't look good.

Sebastian smiled, a kind and gentle smile. However, the emotion hidden in his eyes was not kind at all, but more like the strange brilliance of a sharp sword that bewitches people.

"Can you please make way?"

boom!
Sickening noises were heard all around.

A fully armed, strong adult male weighing at least 85 kilograms was spinning in midair as if jokingly, flying to the side at a speed that could not be discerned by the naked eye. The man's body hit the wall next to him, making a loud noise like water exploding. It was like a giant's fist hitting the house, and the whole house shook violently.

“…Not good. I should have attacked from a position further inside. It could have been a good protection. Forget it. There seems to be someone else inside anyway. I just need to be careful next time.”

The old butler told himself to relax a little.

He walked past the corpse, went inside, opened the door wide, walked into the room, and looked around the room gracefully. It was more like strolling in an empty house than invading the enemy camp.

There are two people in the room.

They stared in amazement as they watched a wall of blood-red flowers bloom on the wall behind Sebastian. The room was filled with the sour smell of cheap liquor, which instantly blended with the peculiar smell of blood and internal organs, creating a nauseating taste.

Sebastian looked at the floor, but the stairs leading to the basement seemed to be hidden so cleverly that he couldn't find it. But it didn't matter, if he couldn't find it himself, he could just ask someone who knew.

"Excuse me, I have something I want to ask you."

"what!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, one of the men let out a hoarse scream. It seemed that he had lost the will to fight and had no choice but to accept the challenge.

This made the old butler feel relieved.

The trembling man clung to the wall, trying to get as far away from Sebastian as possible. Sebastian looked at the man's cowardly look without emotion, only a smile on his lips. The man became even more frightened, a foul smell spread in the room, and then his eyes rolled up and he fell to the ground, the extreme tension made him lose consciousness.

The other man looked at him with envy.

Sebastian frowned, looked at the remaining man and said, "I just said I wanted to ask you something. Actually, I want to go to the basement. Can you please tell me how to get down?"

"This this……"

Sebastian saw fear in the eyes of a man who dared not betray the organization. Like the assassins, this man seemed to be afraid of being purged by the organization, which was probably equivalent to death in their eyes.

To say or not to say?
When the man hesitated, the old housekeeper gave him some thoughtful advice: "There are two mouths here, and I don't have to ask you."

Cut off his hesitation in an instant.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on the man's forehead, his back trembled, and he pointed to the corner and shouted: "There, there! There is a hidden door!"

"There?"

Looking closely, there was indeed a gap in the floor, separating it from the floor next to it.

"I see. Thank you. Then you are of no use."

"Please, please... don't kill me."

"No."

The room froze at the answer without hesitation, and the man's eyes widened. That's the expression humans would make when they refused to accept words they didn't want to believe.

"Someone told me that we only need to keep the cadres who are suspected to be Eight Fingers. So, are you a cadre of Eight Fingers?"

“No, don’t… don’t…”

"Unfortunately, it seems not."

A gust of wind swept past the man's head, and his body rolled to the ground like a broken string. A beat later, a large amount of blood flowed out from the man's headless neck and covered the floor, making the already dirty floor even dirtier.

Sebastian was careful not to stain his shoes with dirty liquid, and walked to the other man who rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, and kicked him down. With the sound of a dead tree breaking, the man's body convulsed, and after a few times, he was motionless.

This is an old butler who is decisive and ruthless.
