Chapter 55 (2/2)

Since it was the work of the syndicate, their e volu it everyday, and there would be no tracks left behind Even if Link used low level ic to pursue their trails, it had little use

Link ell aware of who the est underworld influence in the western parts of Gwinnett forest, then the syndicate would be an enormous underworld criminal pohich covered the entire huinated from the southern liberty trade alliance3or free trade/liberty business/etc which had spread like the plague Over a thousand years of growth, its network of influence extended all across the human world

They also had their roots in the Gwinnett forest; they occupied the entire south of Gwinnett forest

When compared, the dark brotherhood was like the local tyrant while the syndicate was a ferocious dragon in the underworld Although the human nations had repeatedly suppressed the influence of the syndicate, the syndicate would always return and reestablish

They were like so that could not be completely cooked, tenacious weeds that could not be completely uprooted

Link knew that the reason why the the syndicate organisation could not be completely cleared was because behind the syndicate stood a being on the legendary tier that possessed a near immortal lifespan

He was a lurker of the shadows, a grands of Feloinal founder of the syndicate — Morris!

This person held peak legendary-tier strength, and had even touched on a few God-donite the God fire seal, he had colluded with other Gods of the darkness This had caused the entire syndicate to turn into a tuht4idk what the God fire seal is but it is implied that it caused the entire syndicate

Because of this, Morris had turned into the gauild, the trade union, had obtained the first kill on this Boss

Thinking back to the thrilling fight that had transpired in the previous game world, Link un to step into the darkness?’

The syndicate in Gwinnett forest was only a branch of the anisation Link would not stumble into a massive boss like Morris, or Link would be headed to his death

He needed to think carefully

Evidently, Hank and Greedin were also aware of the syndicate’s existence On their trip back, both of theive up on rescuing Lucy; they wouldn’t dreaainst a colossal oing about to rescue Lucy

After walking for a few hts

Firstly, as the goal of the syndicate?

Gold? This was probably one of the syndicate’s goals Although the syndicate shouldn’t lacka little more cash?

The next feasible goal was probably…Taurus’s ic runes5remember the black crystal?

Thisthe demon Taurus to escape from the tower he was sealed in Now that it had been lost by Witt, the dark powers behind the syndicate would definitely aiic runes At this moment, Morris was already in cahoots with the other Gods of darkness Naturally, the syndicate had beco for the dark powers

‘Deoal of the syndicate’ Link determined If this was the case, then unless the definite location of the deic runes were disclosed, Lucy’s life would not be under threat

However, while she was captured, the syndicate would definitely put her under intense torture and interrogation Once she broke and revealed that the de runes ith Link, Lucy would be killed and Link would sink into huge trouble

Irregardless of whether Lucy divulged the truth, Link would not blame her as if he had been put into her shoes, he would throw out the inforan

At present, their priority was to quickly ascertain Lucy’s location and bring her out

As his thought swarh plan by the tie’s inn He turned to Hank who had been silent all the while, “How should we find the infore?”

An airtight organisation with no backdoors did not exist Every organisation would have external informers This was very important as it allowed every branch to communicate with each other easily instead of pointless misinformation and miscommunication

As a mercenary, Hank was much more familiar with the underworld than Link When he went to Gwinnett forest to work and eat, he had to naturally pay respects to the anisation Whatever he could touch and whatever he could not touch was all ingrained deeply in Hank’s heart The syndicate was one of the things that he could definitely not get involved with

Hank replied, “River valley village’s casino should have some of them”

“The casino it is!”
