NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 13 Igor's Guess
In the dark room, Igor casually answered the phone, and a cold male voice came from the other side of the phone: "How are things going? Did you find what we wanted?"

"Not yet, the people I sent out should be back soon." Igor said carefully.

"I'll give you another five days, don't delay the business." The man on the other side of the phone hung up after leaving such a sentence.

"Bah! What are you, I'll let you experience the feeling of ordering others for another two days!" Igor cursed in a low voice, his face becoming a little gloomy.

He hired a mercenary who was good at sneaking in stealth yesterday to investigate the situation of Ross's repair shop, but he hasn't returned yet.

According to Igor's understanding, the planet's civilization is very backward, and the stealth skill possessed by Joel's mercenary is already a kind of extraordinary power. Generally speaking, few people on this planet should be able to deal with him.

But the fact is that Joel has disappeared, and there has been no news since last night.

The task he gave to Joel was very simple, just to sneak into the Ross repair shop to find out the situation, and there was no need to alarm anyone.

It stands to reason that this kind of task is a piece of cake for a person with the ability to hide, but Joel has not returned yet. There are only two possibilities for this situation.

One is that Joel ran away with half of the commission after accepting his commission, and the other is that he was killed on the way to the mission.

The possibility of the former is almost zero. As a mercenary, money is what Igor gives him as a deposit. Most of the commission will be paid after he completes the task. Joel obviously has no intention of giving up this large commission reason.

And doing so will only damage his reputation, and the number of people who will hire him will definitely decrease in the future. This is tantamount to cutting off his own fortune. As long as Joel is not stupid, he will never do this.

However, when he thought that Joel, who possessed invisibility, was killed, Igor felt a little suspicious again. Could it be the little girl who repaired the car yesterday?
The sudden appearance of that little girl in the Ross repair shop is very suspicious, and judging from the speed at which she repairs the car, she has a deep understanding of mechanical equipment. This is not what should happen on a small backward planet. There is only one possibility.

That is, that little girl is a student of Old Ross. If she is a student of Old Ross, then everything makes sense. With Old Ross' strength, it is not difficult to teach an excellent mechanic.

"Maybe Old Ross has come back and already knows about our existence, so he sent his students to test it out?" Igor touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

If that was the case, then he would have to take action himself. If he had never dared to have such an idea before, the old Ross is no longer the same person as before.

Although this is within the territory of the Ansu Empire, it is just a border planet. As long as there is no major turmoil, the empire doesn't bother to take care of it.

This is why the Dawn Alliance can survive here so far. Most of the people in the Dawn Alliance are the original rulers on this planet. After being conquered by the imperial army here, they secretly formed an alliance to resist the rule of the empire.

But the empire didn't take them seriously at all, and even conquering this planet was only incidental. After discovering that the civilization of this planet was backward and the resources were poor, the empire just turned a blind eye to everything here.

……

An Mio didn't know that the person who asked her to repair the car had an unusual background, and she didn't expect that she had already been regarded as a student of Old Ross.

She's now at Sophia's place, and she comes right after working hours.

The door of Sophia's house was closed tightly, and Mio knocked several times, but no one responded.

Are you not at home?An Mio looked at the closed door a little strangely, where would Sophia go at this time?

It seems that she came at the wrong time. She didn't know when Sophia would come back, and she didn't plan to wait here any longer, so she could only come back tomorrow.

Just when An Mio turned around to leave, there were some strange voices from the door behind her.

It was a loud sound like steel colliding together, and there was a harsh friction sound, accompanied by some kind of strange growl.

An Mio was startled, although she didn't know what happened inside, but she knew it was not a good thing from the sound.

Sophia must not have any accidents. She is a key part of the mission and will help her stay in the Ross repair shop in the future. If Sophia can speak for her, then her chances of staying in the repair shop will be much greater.

Thinking of this, An Mio immediately turned back and walked towards the door, but unfortunately she pushed hard but could not open it, and the door was locked from the inside.

It may be that An Mio's sound of pushing the door startled the people inside, but the yard fell silent.

"Sister Sophia? Are you in there?" An Mio saw this and shouted inside.

But she didn't expect Sophia to answer her, after all, the situation inside was unknown.

It is still very easy for An Mio to remove a door lock, but some necessary tools are missing now. After all, An Mio does not have the space skills to carry things with her.

After searching and searching, I only have a mechanical knife on my body, so I can only make do with it.

An Mio's material for making the mechanical knife is much more precious than the material of this door lock. In theory, as long as she is strong enough, she can use the knife to cut the door lock.

An Mio's strength has increased a lot since she reached the second level, but she still doesn't know if she can cut the door lock.

An Mio pushed the blade in along the gap of the gate, but she didn't go in too much. She was afraid that someone inside would stop her actions.

Sure enough, just as An Mio's blade entered the crack of the door, there were suddenly chaotic sounds in the quiet courtyard.

Because it is very close to the door, An Mio listened carefully this time, the sound inside seemed to be the sound of iron locks shaking and hitting, like a prisoner in prison struggling in the yard dragging a long chain, the deep roar seemed to be mad the beast.

Anger, doubt, unwillingness, whether it was an illusion, An Mio read these complex emotions from this voice.

The doubts in An Mio's heart became more intense. Before, she thought that something happened to Sophia, but after hearing this voice, she doubted her own judgment again.

But what the real situation is, just go in and take a look, and it will be clear.

Putting aside the doubts in his heart and ignoring the voice inside the door, An Mio concentrated his strength and swiped downwards. The blade slashed down on the door lock along the crack of the door. When the two collided, sparks were born immediately. The knife suddenly became hot, and after a brief obstacle, the blade fell, and Mio heard the sound of something falling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the door slowly opened in front of her, and the scene presented in front of An Mio made her freeze in place.

It was true that something happened to Sophia, but this situation was something An Mio never thought of.

　I habitually say a word, I don’t ask for recommendations for collection, so be it
