A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 764 The Claw of the Owl Court
"The obvious reason is that the maid's hands and feet are not clean..."

The thin woman in the white skirt said with a light smile: "But in fact, it was the maid who really thought she was so important, and dared to wear the tiger skin of the Prince family outside to make a profit for herself!"

"……Oh?"

The man in the white mask frowned: "Is it just dismissal after making such a serious mistake?"

The skinny woman in the white dress shook her head, and said lightly: "It's not important, what's important is that it can be seen from this incident that the Prince family doesn't really care about that maid, or even that she wears a plain dress outside. The mistake made by the tiger skin of the Lince family."

"……yes?"

The corner of the white masked man's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a trace of disapproval in his eyes.

To be honest, he really didn't think there was any necessary connection between the two.

But since this group of people think so, he doesn't want to refute...

So, the white-masked man obediently kept his mouth shut.

The skinny woman in white skirt gave him a deep look, then scanned the meeting room and said: "If this is the case, then the verdict stands, and the court will use its sharp claws to show Mr. Prince our strength, but there is one thing Remember, never hurt Mr. Prince's life, he is the key for us to get out of Gotham and develop power in other cities!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Members of Congress expressed their approval and raised their hands.

The thin woman in the white dress nodded, and immediately announced the end of the meeting.

Twelve congressmen, including the man in the white mask, left the meeting room one after another. After rounding the corner of the corridor, they took off their masks, showing fake smiling faces, and left through the various exits of the Wayne Building as if nothing had happened.

Apart from the woman in the white skirt who did not leave, the man in the white mask was the last to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced at the woman in the white dress in the meeting room through the reflection of the glass at the door, and found that she had actually called out two men from the shadows in the corner of the meeting room!

The two men were wearing black suits and black half-face masks that looked like owls. The exposed lower half of their faces were extremely stern, and their eyes were as dead and cold as a thousand-year-old glacier, which made people tremble.

But the most trembling thing is not their stern faces, but their dead-like silent temperament.

During the hour of the meeting, the two black-masked men stood silently in the shadows, and none of the members attending the meeting could detect their presence.

"Is this the claw of the court of owls?"

The man in the white mask couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

"Beware of the Court of Owls, who are always watching your travels.

A peek into Gotham City from the shadows, hidden in a low-walled attic.

He is with him in the house, and in the bed and in the bed.

Don't mention his name, the sharp claws will come to find you. "

This is a horror nursery rhyme circulating on the streets of Gotham City, in which the minion of the court named 'Claw' appeared at the same time as the owl court.

Most of these sharp claws are orphans adopted by the court, and only a few of them are favored by the owl court because of their unique skills and talents.

But whether it is adopted from a young age or joined halfway, it must be trained and brainwashed by the court.

No one knows what the training method of the court is, but every time a candidate for Claw becomes Claw, he will become a cold-blooded killer who is completely loyal to the court, becoming the strongest armed force and assassination force in the hands of the court.

The man in the white mask narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the reflection of the glass, he quietly looked at these two sharp claws that only existed in urban legends.

But at this moment, the two silent claws actually raised their heads, looked coldly at the glass of the door, and met the eyes of the man in the white mask through the reflection of light.

The thin woman in the white dress turned cold, and followed the sharp claws to look at the back of the man in the white mask.

"Young MP, do you have anything else to report to me?"

"No, it's just that I was frightened by these two brothers..."

The man in the white mask shook his head, and then he couldn't help asking in disbelief: "Ma'am, since when did they stand there? Why didn't I notice it at all?"

nonsense!How can the claw be the most powerful force in the court if you can detect it?

The woman in the white skirt sneered in her heart, but still said with a light smile on her face: "This is not something you should care about, young congressman... Also, they are not your dear friends, but the sharp claws of the court." , I think your elders should have told you about the claws?"

"of course."

"If you want to borrow the power of the Talon, you can bring it up at the next Dark Council. This is your right as a member of the court, but if you just want to see the Talon, you have seen it now... ..."

The man in the white mask understood the tone of the woman in the white skirt, and knew that she was tactfully driving him away, so he smiled cooperatively, turned around and left the meeting room quickly.

After the white-masked man left, the woman in the white skirt who was smiling slightly turned cold, turned her head to look at the two silent sharp claws and said coldly: "Go, follow him, and kill this fake congressman and the man behind him." Bring everyone back to the court——I want to see which force is so arrogant that it dares to attack the members of the court!"

The woman in the white dress had eyes as cold as ice, and her words were filled with icy killing intent.

The two sharp claws nodded in unison, and followed the footsteps of the white masked man expressionlessly.

Soon, the white-masked man took the elevator and left Wayne Building.

Walking on the street in front of the Wayne Building, the man in the white mask suddenly turned around and walked into the dark alley between the buildings.

Immediately afterwards, the man took off the white owl mask on his face, revealing a handsome face with black hair, black eyes, and an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

In the next second, the figure of the black-haired man suddenly disappeared into the alley.

Soon, two sharp claws walked into the alley silently, their cold eyes scanning back and forth in the alley, trying to find the figure of the man or some hidden door.

"Are you looking for me?"

A slightly smiling voice suddenly sounded from behind the two sharp claws.

The figures of the two sharp claws froze slightly, then suddenly turned around without warning, waving the metal dagger that fell from the sleeves expressionlessly, one quickly stabbing the heart of the person behind him from left to right, the other From bottom to top, he stabbed fiercely at the throat of the person behind him.

"Shhhh-"

Two piercing sounds sounded almost at the same time, and they were about to pierce the heart and neck of the person behind him.

At this moment, the black-haired man whose life was on the surface suddenly grinned, and two slender and white palms suddenly appeared on the path of the metal dagger, and they directly held the sharp blade tightly with their palms .

The pupils of the two sharp claws shrank suddenly, and they stabbed forward vigorously and found that it was ineffective, so they released the dagger without hesitation, turned around and pulled out the serrated blade from his waist, and slashed at the black-haired man's waist and temples from left to right.

The black-haired man chuckled, threw away the two sharp daggers in his hand, turned around and kicked in a roundabout way.

In an instant, the expensive black shiny leather shoe came first, passed through the gap between the jagged blade and the waving arm, and slammed heavily on the head of the sharp claw on the left.

"Bam—"

With a loud noise, the body of the sharp claw on the left instantly flew to one side.

Without stopping, the black-haired man sideways avoided the blade of the sharp claw on the right, kicked his back heavily with his right foot, and pressed his whole body against the wall of the alley.

"It's really interesting. No wonder that guy chose to settle in this city. It's only been three days, and even I'm about to fall in love with this city..."

The man in black, or rather Lucifer, smiled and looked at the killer in a black suit who was still struggling with his feet against the wall in front of him.

In the next second, Lucifer raised his right arm abruptly, and precisely pinched the neck of another flying claw.

Lucifer turned his head with a smile, looked into the cold eyes of his sharp claws and said, "Gentlemen, stalking is not done by gentlemen. Can't you see the huge gap between yourself and me?"

"..."

The two sharp claws remained silent, just struggling constantly, trying to resist Lucifer's restraint.

Lucifer sighed, shook his head helplessly, and then a black light flashed in his palm, the man in black suit who was still alive and kicking just now lost all life in an instant.

"Plop! Plop!"

The two bodies collapsed limply to the ground.

Lucifer tidied up his suit, then cut a dark red slit casually, and summoned two trembling little ghosts that looked like mud from hell.

"It's these two people. You go in, absorb their memory fragments, replace their identities, and then return to the court pretending that you didn't find anything, and wait for my next order."

"Before I get my order, you have to completely pretend to be them, do whatever they would have done in life, go to any place they went back to in life, understand?"

"Ming...understand!"

"Very good, any questions now?"

"..." The two mud-shaped little ghosts looked at each other, and one of them asked in a low voice tremblingly, "Sa...Master Satan, what is a court?"

"Well..." Lucifer smiled slightly, "You will know when you absorb their memories!"
