Chapter 229 - Special Squad (2/2)

They looked at Jess at the same time.

Jess said seriously, “I admit that you’re right. My strength is too weak. Many times, I can’t really defend what I stand for.

“But we can work together!

“I’ll help you find the Thieves Union, and you’ll help me capture them!

“This is good for us, isn’t it?”

Mike thought for a moment from the offer. He had to admit that Jess was right. This cooperation was beneficial to both sides.

“Alright, but I just want to find my things. After I find them, I won’t care about the rest.”

“Deal!”

“Lead the way.”

Conversations between men were sometimes as simple as 1 2 3.

A special team was formed just like that — a guard, and two thugs who had just committed violence on the street.

The three of them quickly disappeared at the corner of the street, this left behind a group of elven civilians who only dared to approach the scene now as they pointed at the pool of blood on the ground.

..

In an uninhabited corner of the Ancient City of Life. Jess laboriously lifted a manhole cover from the ground. The surroundings were clearly covered in dust, but the edges of the manhole cover were clearly cleaner than in other places.

It was very obvious that this manhole cover had been moved by many people.

After the manhole cover was lifted, a staircase was revealed. It was the staircase that led to the sewer.

“This is the entrance to the sewer.”

Jess wiped his sweat and dusted the dust off his hands. Then, he took the lead to climb down the stairs. Mike and Timus followed closely behind.

After they climbed for a few dozen steps, the three of them landed steadily on the sewer passage.

The sunlight shone through the entrance above, it brought upon a faint visibility to the sewer.

However, it was a little difficult to see past the sewers a little further away. And at this time, Jess played the role of a guard perfectly.

Jess took out a torch from his back, then raised his other hand and casted a relatively basic fire spell.

The torch was instantly lit, and the dark sewer was illuminated perfectly.

Timus looked at the torch and smacked his lips, “I didn’t expect you to be so useful.”

Jess did not answer him. Instead, he carefully observed his surroundings. This sewer was a very common pattern. In the middle was the sewer, and on both sides were paths for people to walk on. These two paths were originally for the workers who maintained the sewer environment to walk on, but the stench from the sewer and the few rats swimming in the sewer all told the truth.

No one had been maintaining the sewers.

“It seems that there are many places in this city that more than meets the eye, who knew that it was rotting.” Mike glanced at Jess and said this.

Jess pursed his lips and did not say anything. Instead, he passed between Mike and Timus, then walked forward.

“Follow me.”

Mike and Timus did not speak anymore, but only followed Jess’s footsteps.

If they wanted to find the Thieves Union, they had to rely on the guards of the Ancient City of Life to lead the way.

Soon, the three of them came to a corner.

There was an iron door on the wall of this corner, which was originally used to store some sundries. But the lock on the iron door had been pried open, and it seemed that it had never been discovered.

Obviously, this was the work of the Thieves Union..
