Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"A month ago, Joyce Best was living in the Rose Manor outside the city. It is a private domain. The guards' marksmanship is very accurate. My people can't sneak in."

"After that, I tried to bribe the servants in the manor to pass the message, but I didn't expect them to be very loyal to Best and would not be moved at all."

Hearing this, Joyce smiled. Most of the servants in the manor were children adopted by their father William, and it was not easy to buy them off.

"On May 24th, Joyce Best returned to Bayam, and the surveillance work officially started."

It's quite professional... Joyce laughed inwardly, finding that Eric's tone became depressed.

"However, the people I sent to monitor, Amy was accidentally caught by the police, and two others disappeared for no apparent reason. The losses were heavy, but the results were almost zero."

"Fortunately, after only asking twice briefly, Crow never came."

Eric turned to schadenfreude and said:

"And I heard that Ove's people also died, hahaha, well deserved."

Wait, why can't I keep up with his thoughts? Who is Ove... Joyce thought about it and asked.

Eric gritted his teeth and said:

"Ove is the leader of the gang who robbed me of business, the owner of the Fragrance Tree Bar. He is a very good fight, never polite, bastard."

Joyce's doubts were not resolved, so he continued to ask:

"What does this Ove have to do with Joyce?"

"That barbarian didn't know why, but he also sent someone to follow Joyce Best, who was also secretly erased."

Eric's explanation was beyond Joyce's expectations. No, it should be said: there are unexpected gains!

How many people have I offended! Why are you watching me! Gan!

It's almost a table of mahjong... Joyston felt tired and had to ask Ove for more information.

Thirty-year-old, tall, with a messy beard that he never repairs, good at fighting, greedy for alcohol, and lustful for sex. He recently took care of a woman from the Red Theater, living at No. 54 Xiangshu Avenue...

Sure enough, the enemy knows you best... After Eric's simple introduction, Joyce's mind quickly formed a complete image of Ove.

It sounds like a low-sequence Beyonder of the warrior pathway, who ordered him to monitor me? Wouldn't it be Chloe too... Joyce's thoughts kept turning, and he asked on a whim:

"Do you know Ianna?"

Eric shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Joyce has already obtained the answer to the question and additional clues, and the harvest is enough, and finally asked just in case:

"What else can you tell me about Joyce Best?"

Eric thought about it seriously, but still shook his head: "No more."

Okay, Joyce raised Erlang's legs and said contemptuously:

"Then tell me about yourself. What bad things have a qualified gang boss done?"

Eric seemed to be interested, and even his expressions were quite vivid. He explained in detail that he instigated the high-level gangsters who had been involved in the past to kill each other, cut off the tongues of the enemy's family, raped and murdered women, and abducted and sold children...

A demon disguised as a gentleman, a typical psychopath... Joyce listened with a cold face, suppressed his anger, and finally followed him out of the room.

"I'm going out with this lady, you don't have to follow."

Eric instructed the bodyguard outside the door, then took Joyce out of the bar, and after passing two corners, he found the carriage parked in place.

Sophia was doubting her life when she suddenly saw a strange man entering the carriage. She was taken aback by surprise. Before she could ask, she saw Mr. Baron in women's clothing also following in.

The carriage starts.

"Who is he?"

Sophia blinked her smart eyes and asked Joyce to ask.

The latter quickly understood and ordered, "Introduce yourself."

"My name is Eric, nice to meet you, beautiful lady."

Eric put his hand on his chest and bowed.

Even though he acted like a gentleman, it didn't prevent Sophia from showing an extremely shocked expression and blurted out:

"Eric! The boss of that gentleman's gang! Why are you here?"

"I'm here. As for why I'm here, it's naturally the master's order." Eric admitted with a blank expression.

Owner! Who is his master? Sophia turned her gaze to Mr. Baron, who pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, then closed his eyes without answering desire.

Sophia was full of doubts and had nowhere to answer, and she didn't want to look at the boss of the gangster who abducted children, so she turned her head to one side, and finally half-closed her eyes like Joyce.

The carriage moved forward steadily, reaching its destination in Sophia's torment.

In an unfamiliar house, the neighborhood is very quiet, Sophia asked:

"What is this place?"

"This is my home, beautiful lady, a safe house known only to me and the master."

Eric opened the door with the key and made a gesture of inviting in.

Noticing the look from the maid, Joyce nodded calmly:

"It's alright, let's go in."

When Eric was instructed to pour the wine, Sophia finally couldn't help but speak, and a series of questions kept popping out of Cherry's mouth:

"Why are we here? When did you become his master? He's a big bad guy! What the **** is going on?"

Joyce pressed his hands together and signaled the lady maid to be calm:

"This is a very complicated matter, and I will explain it to you in the future."

"Answer me a question first, have you ever seen a murder?"

Sophia was stunned for a moment, recalling the night when she was rescued ten years ago, Mr. William led the soldiers to exterminate the gang, the smoke of iron and fire, the blood soaked the soles of her shoes...

She lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I have seen it."

"That's good." Joyce was slightly surprised, but continued to say calmly:

"Don't scream for a while~www.NovelMTL.com~ scream? Why? Sophia didn't understand what Mr. Baron meant.

Joyce didn't explain, because Eric came over with a bottle of red wine, like a waiter, poured two tall glasses and put them on the table.

Joyce smiled and said to Eric, "Thank you."

"Can you turn around?"

Eric had no objection. Behind him, Joyce pulled the revolver from his waist, aimed it at the back of his head, and pulled the trigger.

With a bang, blood and brains ooze out, and Eric fell to the ground.

Joyce held up the red wine without any change in his expression and drank it all at once.

Sophia covered her mouth with her hands, but she didn't scream. She looked at the corpse and the baron. Thousands of thoughts only turned into one sentence:

"why?"

"This is the cruelty of the extraordinary world."

Joyce put away the revolver, as if to say to the maid, and as if to himself:

"When you step into this world, madness and danger can never be avoided."

"We fight against the enemy on the bright side, entangle with the enemy who hides in the shadows, and even fight against ourselves."

"Damn him." Sophia said softly.

"What?" Joyce asked in surprise.

Sophia stared at Eric's body and said loudly:

"He should be damned."

"I want to become an Extraordinary, just to make these people disappear and make the world a better and kinder place."

What a pure and impossible dream... Joyce sighed inwardly and poured himself another glass of wine:

"I hope you can always retain this enthusiasm."

"cheers."
