Leading the Team Away

Hearing what Lecy said, the bartender’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but take a few steps back.

It had taken a lot of effort just to answer Lecy’s questions earlier.

To ask him to repeat what he had just mentioned, he himself couldn’t guarantee he would get it completely right.

Because many of the details were things he had made up on the spot.

Big Beard and his group hadn’t been to the tavern at all.

“What? Could it be that your answers just now were all made up?”

The ugly faces of this group of people.

For a moment, hisses came from all directions.

None of the lone mercenaries watching the show were fools.

Just from the bartender’s small movements, they could tell what was going on.

“Speak!”

The retreating bartender did not receive Erke’s sympathy.

Instead, Erke became even more aggressive, forcing him to continue to testify for them.

Noticing Lecy turn her head and send her a grateful look, Su Ran’s expression was relaxed.

Lecy was gradually gaining control of the current situation, and the surrounding spectators were also gradually leaning towards the Witch’s Society’s side.

The questioning method she had just used was actually a common interrogation technique.

Due to her recent frequent dealings with Li Shanhai, Su Ran had also done a little research on it to avoid being tricked.

She just hadn’t expected it to be useful here.

To be honest, the so-called interrogations here were probably still at the stage of torture and forced confessions.

They knew less about interrogation techniques than what Su Ran had learned from the internet.

Just as Su Ran was preparing to continue watching the show, the light around Lecy distorted slightly, causing her to see Lecy’s figure flash with a double image.

‘Was it an illusion?’

This change was very fast, calculable in milliseconds, but Su Ran could still see a little if she concentrated.

Just as Su Ran was about to ignore it, she inadvertently glanced at the map and suddenly understood.

The map showed two green dots next to Lecy, marked with the names Tilly and Tina.

Since the two of them had appeared, the distortion of light must have been the effect of an illusion.

If she hadn’t glanced at the minimap, she might have been affected by Tina’s witch ability and overlooked this small loophole in the illusion.

The appearance of the two of them also meant that the task they were given had been completed.

Su Ran crossed her arms and looked at the entrance, waiting for this good show to continue.

‘What’s going on?’

The bartender seemed to have reached a dead end, his spirit on the verge of collapse under the double pressure.

During the questioning just now, Lecy had gestured for Tina to amplify the bartender’s emotions.

“No! It’s not! It’s them…”

“You bastard, you dared to fool us for a bounty!”

Compared to the bartender who was about to speak the truth, the subordinate from the Raging Thunder Mercenary Group reacted faster.

He, who had been watching the show by Raging Thunder’s side, suddenly stood up and kicked the bartender to the ground.

Feeling that it wasn’t enough to vent his anger, he prepared to use both his hands and feet.

The surrounding sounds had all disappeared.

The bartender, beaten half to death, was lying on the ground, groaning unconsciously.

“It seems you can’t trust anyone so easily in the future.”

Lecy didn’t even glance at the bartender lying on the ground.

Since he dared to participate in a scheme against the Witch’s Society, he was her enemy.

She had no need to show sympathy.

Erke’s face was very ugly.

Although his subordinate had reacted quickly and stopped the other from speaking the truth, they had made such a big fuss and still hadn’t achieved their goal.

To have to leave in disgrace, just thinking about it was unacceptable to Erke.

“Lecy, I’m really sorry. We were careless this time. But it’s a fact that we have brothers missing. Now we need to go in and find them.”

In order to achieve his original goal, Erke planned to swallow his pride.

Erke’s words almost made Lecy laugh out loud.

“What do you think the Witch’s Society is? A place you can enter whenever you want? Not to mention that you just attacked us not long ago. Even on a normal day, it’s impossible for you to enter so easily.”

“You…”

Faced with the ridicule, if it were the old Witch’s Society, Lecy would definitely not have been so merciless.

And Erke himself would not have chosen to endure it, swallowing his grievance.

The person who could cause such a big change in Lecy’s attitude was only that Sequence Six witch.

Even as a fellow Sequence Six, Mr. Ken might not be confident in taking her down.

Without the strength, and without being in the right, Erke felt a sense of powerlessness for the first time.

Not only Erke, but even Raging Thunder and Blind Snake’s faces also turned ugly after hearing this.

“I’d like to see if the expression on your face is still the same when the Church’s army arrives.”

The leader of the White Stone Mercenary Group, who had been silent the whole time, gave Lecy a sharp glare after hearing her words.

This kind of threatening exchange made Su Ran yawn.

She wanted to see the main event sooner.

“Here they come.”

Seeing someone squeeze out from the crowd of onlookers and run towards the mercenary groups, Su Ran’s spirits immediately lifted.

‘The bodies of Big Beard and the others must have been discovered.’

Round eyes were sizing up Erke.

“The bodies of Big Beard and the others were found in the wilderness. What you said, is it true?”

Erke’s sharp gaze was fixed on the newcomer, trying to find any trace of a lie on his face.

But the newcomer nodded and said with great certainty, “The bodies were found at the scene, and many people said they saw them preparing to hunt magical beasts.”

Erke’s expression was uncertain.

The so-called hunting of magical beasts was just an excuse.

The mission of Big Beard and his group was to sneak into the Witch’s Society and find the location of the crystal mine.

But now their bodies had actually appeared outside the city?

Thinking of this, even the one-track-minded Raging Thunder knew what was going on.

His resentful gaze was locked on Lecy.

Only the endless means of the witches could achieve such a deception.

At this moment, the news from outside the city also gradually spread here.

Many people knew that the four major mercenary groups had surrounded the Witch’s Society to search for their people.

Since Big Beard had now been found, of course, the news had to be quickly relayed back here.

“They found him, they found Big Beard! I heard from the people outside the city that they were preparing to go to the desert to continue hunting Sequence Three magical beasts. Many eyes were watching!”

It was unknown where the voice came from, but after hearing these words, Lecy’s smile was about to overflow.

Her gaze swept over these enemies.

“Are you still planning to stay here? Aren’t you very concerned about your brothers?”

“Let’s go!”

Having lost the reason to surround the Witch’s Society, and also not having the strength to do so, continuing to stay here would only make them a laughingstock.

No matter how reluctant Erke was, he could only lead his team away in disgrace.
