Chapter 323 Seeing Sharon Again
After dealing with the werewolf Tyrell's body, Luze left with Old Jack's corpse.
He didn't disturb too many people, and went straight to Charles's bedroom.
The latter was startled awake from his sleep, and upon opening his eyes, he saw a corpse; the shock he experienced was unimaginable. Even so, he didn't dare to get angry, but instead cooperated with Lu Ze's wishes and accepted the task of burying the dead.
This leader of the Lehman gang nominally controlled several streets, reaping a stable source of funds and prestige. He had more gang members under his control, and the stable funds made them more loyal to him. But Charles was a smart man; he knew that all his power came from Luzer, and if Luzer didn't want him to be the leader anymore, he could remove him at any time. Of course, it was more likely that he would be eliminated outright.
"Damn Count of Andes!"
After hearing Lu Ze's words, he couldn't help but curse, "If they can't beat us in the market, they resort to underhanded tactics like this!"
Lu Ze frowned.
"Do you know this count?"
"Yes, I know him."
Charles nodded and said, "You mentioned wanting to open a textile factory, so I did some research and learned about the industry. The Count of Andes also owns a textile factory; in Backlund, his business is the largest."
So it turns out it was just competition between rivals. Count Andes probably wanted to use the werewolves to carry out some covert killings, causing the factory workers to disappear, creating unrest, and disrupting production. Unexpectedly, the red moon appeared, and the werewolves went berserk.
Lu Ze understood some of it, but also didn't quite understand it.
My factory isn't large, so it can't affect the other party's business no matter what. Why would they specifically come looking for trouble?
Do you know where he lives?
"I don't know, but I know the location of their factory."
Charles replied, giving the address of an industrial area. "That address will do," he said. "With so many people in the factory, surely one or two will know where the Count of Andes lives."
Luze entrusted Old Jack's affairs to Charles, and then left under cover of night, heading to the location of the textile factory.
He herded Mr. A, who in turn herded the recorder, releasing the recorder's "journey." This triple process required his spirituality to sustain him, resulting in a significant depletion of his spiritual energy. Continuing to act was not a wise choice.
But Lu Ze couldn't stop.
The lamb's cries still seemed to echo in his ears; the lingering resentment after its death seeped into his soul, igniting his anger and scorching his heart.
He wanted to get justice for his lamb.
A row of factory buildings came into view, far exceeding the size of the small factory that Lu Ze had bought.
When we arrived, it was nearly midnight, but the factory was still brightly lit. The high-powered gas lamps illuminated the darkness and made it impossible for the workers to have any peace and quiet.
A massive steam engine powered the entire factory, transmitting power to the belts of every textile machine. Each worker was responsible for six machines, replenishing the materials for the machines that ran out of yarn.
They looked exhausted and numb. The workshop was extremely noisy and brightly lit, yet many people were still drowsy.
At this moment, what woke them up was the overseer's stick and roar.
Using "psychological invisibility," Lu Ze moved through the area, quickly finding the management's quarters. However, it was too late; the management had long since left, leaving only empty rooms.
"who!"
Lu Ze was getting impatient because he hadn't found anything, but his shepherd's intuition told him that a powerful extraordinary being was hiding in the office area.
"come out!"
Because he made a sound, his "psychological invisibility" was automatically canceled. Although he couldn't see the other person's specific appearance, he could clearly sense that someone was right around him!
Just as he was about to use some tricks to force the person out, the space in front of him suddenly became hazy, and a figure slowly emerged. It was a woman wearing a black court dress, with light gold hair, blue eyes, and exquisite features, but her face was unusually pale. Her every move made her seem like a doll.
Sharon.
"Is it you?"
Lu Ze said in surprise.
The other person was the Sequence 5 Beyonder she met at the Queen's Gathering, with whom she had promised to team up to explore the "vengeful spirits" of Amon's Tomb. However, due to her own actions, the two lost contact.
"have not seen you for a long time."
Sharon, wearing a small soft hat, floated in the air, lifted her skirt, and bowed slightly to him. Her ethereal voice then echoed around them.
Why are you here?
Lu Ze asked.
At the same time, he became somewhat wary.
Perhaps the other party is also a member of the Rose School, and is here to protect the Count of Andes. However, he only had slight doubts, after all, the fact that the other party could appear at the Queen's party proved her reliability to a certain extent.
"."
Sharon looked at him silently, not speaking immediately. When quiet, she truly looked like a life-size, exquisitely crafted doll.
Is the reluctance to answer out of caution, or because it concerns oneself?
Lu Ze stared directly into her azure eyes and said coldly, "My subordinates were attacked by the Rose School, and I tracked them down here, where I found you. If you don't give me an explanation, I can only assume you are an enemy."
"boom!"
He drew his magma longsword, the eerie blue flames illuminating Sharon's exquisite yet lifeless face.
"I do come from the Rose School, but things aren't as you imagine."
She finally spoke, "My relationship with those who hurt you and your subordinates is very bad, or rather, we hate each other and are enemies."
"Do you have a grudge against them?"
Lu Zeqi said.
"We belong to the same path, but we have different ideologies, which leads to conflict and struggle. They glorify indulgence and the unleashing of malice, while we emphasize restraint and preserving our true nature until it erupts," Sharon explained briefly. "To escape persecution, we came to Backlund from the southern continent, yet we are still hunted down by them."
"I'm here today because I want to kill them."
The same sequence.
Lu Ze was somewhat surprised. The difference between werewolves and vengeful spirits was too great, yet they were still in the same sequence. If there was anything similar, it was probably that they were both non-human beings. Did that mean this sequence consisted entirely of similar monsters?
He suddenly understood something.
"You suddenly lost contact with me, and you even stopped exploring the cemetery as planned. Was it because you needed to escape being hunted down?"
Sharon nodded, but not very much.
Lu Ze thought for a moment, then took out the dark green fang from his pocket and showed it to Sharon.
"This extraordinary characteristic comes from a thin man with very short hair. Do you know him?"
"It should be Tyr, a werewolf of Sequence 7."
Sharon actually knew the werewolf's name.
"Are these the people from the Rose School who are hunting you down?"
"Yes, besides him, there's Jason, the Sequence 6 'living corpse,' and Steve, the Sequence 5 'vengeful spirit.'"
Sharon said softly, "The leader was a Sequence 4 demigod, but he was lured away by the wrong clues we left behind and has gone somewhere else."
In other words, the Rose School currently only has one Sequence 6 and one Sequence 5 in Backlund. Meanwhile, they have two Sequence 5s, one of whom is a very powerful Shepherd within the same sequence!
