Chapter 321 Crisis (2/2)

”Barbero?”

Hearing until here, Lize tilted her head, but she couldn't recall any place with that name. It was no wonder; before she left Golden City, she never wandered off anywhere. Most likely, the number of streets she knew in Golden City could be counted on her fingers. Considering this, she was no different than those country bumpkins.

Instead, when Rhode heard this name, his expression quickly sank.

”Christie, are you sure?”

”… Umm, yes… that girl said so to the coachman… she said that it's Barbero Street..”

Having said that, Christie reached out and gestured, as if she were mimicking something. However, compared to this, Lize was even more surprised. She did not know that Christie's hearing was actually so good. At that time, Ellenson wasn't even close to them, and she had also deliberately lowered her voice, so Lize couldn't hear what she was saying. She did not expect that Christie was actually able to hear it. She was planning to say more, but after seeing Rhode's expression, Lize was surprised.

Currently, Rhode's expression was really bad.

Although he usually looked indifferent, but it was easy for people around him to notice that Rhode's face wasn't actually expressionless. It was just that many times, he didn't convey his emotions through expressions. However, right now his expression could be said to be very obvious.

Unlike Lize and Christie who didn't know anything, Rhode knew what kind of place Barbero was.

When there was light, there was always darkness. It was also the same in Golden City. It's true that Munn Kingdom remained stable under Lydia, but it was nonsense to think that everyone was kind-hearted. Among tons of apples, there would always be some that were rotten. It was the same in the Golden City. The noble here lacked enjoyment and depravity, and Barbero Street was the best place for those nobles who were lost. There, they could enjoy and indulge like wild beasts. It was a place filled with sins and sweet depravity.

In the game, Lydia had cleared up this place in the end. However, in the middle of this quest, Rhode had realized just how terrible this place was. Because the game was rated G, there were some sensitive details that were concealed, but just the tip of the iceberg was enough to make people shiver. However, it was nothing compared to the partying and drugs in Rhode's previous world.

So when he heard this place from Christie's mouth, Rhode's heart immediately sank. From his understanding towards Marlene, he didn't think that she was the type who would like to enjoy depravity, and he could hardly imagine it. He even wondered whether Marlene knew about this place because Barbero Street was also a taboo among the nobles, and only nobles who really belonged there were qualified to know its existence. For other nobles, they were only vaguely aware that there was such a place, but they were not clear about its specifics.

But Rhode was sure that the people who knew about that place definitely wren't something good.

”When did they leave?”

”Probably… an hour ago.”

Lize was surprised by Rhode's seriousness. She recalled carefully and replied. Then she looked at Rhode uneasily.

”Mr. Rhode, is there any problem?”

”I'll go and see the situation.”

Rhode did not explain the matter to Lize. He only reached out and patted Christie's shoulder. Then, he sorted out his clothes and looked down.

”Lize, don't tell anyone about this matter. I'm going to find Marlene now. Take care of the others and don't allow anyone to leave. Do you understand?”

”I, I understand, Mr. Rhode.”

Lize replied uneasily. Although she didn't know what had happened, she still noticed that something was wrong. Rhode nodded to the both of them and left.

Damn it!

Rhode left the mansion with a very gloomy expression. He could be sure that there was definitely something wrong. Marlene wasn't that type of girl, and even Christie wouldn't go out with just anyone. Marlene was usually a serious and assertive person. Since the other was able to invite Marlene out, then she definitely had a relationship with Marlene. However, no matter how Rhode thought of it, he couldn't figure out why someone dared to kidnap Marlene in Golden City. Did they really not know just how powerful the Senia family iswas

But now wasn't the time for Rhode to think about this.

Rhode took a deep breath, trying to calm down. Soon, a list of all the members of the mercenary group appeared before him, Rhode effortlessly found Marlene's name and selected it. After that, an inverted triangle representing the position coordinates appeared before him and pointed towards a group of building in the west.

God bless.

Seeing this inverted triangle, Rhode felt relieved. Then, he activated his shadow flash without hesitation and quickly flew towards the coordinates.
