The Black Book: Seven Deadly Sins-Chapter 59: Prison Break
Shaking his head in a very Versailles manner, Zhu Haomiao began to carefully scour the study and unexpectedly found a luxurious silver-plated revolver in the drawer of the bookcase.
His eyes lit up, and the young man took out the revolver and played with it meticulously, feeling more and more that he couldn't put it down.
The sturdy caliber, the slender barrel, the gun body filled with the beauty of violence, elegance, and savagery were perfectly united at this moment, instantly stirring the instinctive hunting desire of a man.
I really want to shoot something!
Holding the handgun, aiming left and right, Zhu Haomiao finally suppressed the urge to test the gun, put on the matching holster to secure it at his right hip, and packed all the bullets in the drawer.
However, this set of firearms was just an unexpected delight, and the young man quickly refocused his attention on "searching the body," rummaging through the study.
It took over an hour, but Zhu Haomiao finally found what he wanted in a hidden secret compartment.
Land deed, useless!
Stocks, useless!
Loan agreements, useless!
Tossing aside a heap of stuff that couldn't be turned into cash, Zhu Haomiao found a thick stack of cash deep in the secret compartment.
"Tsk, why is it British Pounds again... I still have to exchange it..."
Pouting in disgust, the young man was about to leave when he suddenly paused, looking at the various valuable documents scattered on the table.
In theory, those things were the most valuable; this stack of British Pounds in his hand could only be considered emergency petty cash.
But to cash them out, he would need time, channels, and power...
He had none of these conditions!
However...
Some creature under his control did!
A thought crossed his mind, and Zhu Haomiao packed all these valuable documents, forced himself to wrap up the dried and shrunken corpse scraps on the ground with distaste.
Finally, donning his hood, he closed his cloak and disappeared like a ghost into the continuous rainy night outside the window.
.........
"Why do you think the Boss has changed lately and started fighting with people everywhere?"
"I heard those guys betrayed him, I couldn't tolerate it either if I were him!"
"But isn't it a bit too extreme, now people outside are calling him a mad dog."
"Haha, a person who is not ruthless can't stand firm, hasn't the Boss's business expanded several times? Our commission has also grown with it, and our equipment is updated too, isn't that good?"
"True... The Shelly family used to be so arrogant, now they avoid us when they see us!"
The two little henchmen, holding firearms, crouched under the eaves to avoid the rain and chatted idly, not noticing a shadowy figure passing by them.
And the protagonist they were discussing was now facing a pile of documents, deep in thought, with a greedy black light swirling in his eyes that others could not observe.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked up and saw a thin shadow by the window, shaking off the rainwater from its cloak.
"My lord." (吾主)
Rising respectfully into a half-kneeling position, Wilson bowed his head deeply like a devout believer.
"Get up, see if you can cash in these things, and exchange all these British Pounds for silver notes for me."
He bluntly tossed the documents to Wilson, Zhu Haomiao combined the previous three hundred British Pounds with this haul and handed them all to him.
After a careful inspection, Wilson thought for a long time and resolutely said.
"Most of them can be laundered and cashed, but there will be some depreciation..."
Zhu Haomiao nodded unsurprisingly.
"Fine, just handle it as you see fit."
"Yes, my lord."
Like a competent steward, Wilson bowed, placing a hand to his chest, and carefully added.
"Additionally, British Pounds are hard currency, you can directly exchange them at major banks, but such a large amount might need a prior appointment. I will handle these for you as soon as possible."
"Mhmm, well done, I'll come by next time."
With that, the young man flicked his thumb, and with a melodious crisp sound, a touch of luxurious gold traced a parabolic path, landing precisely in Wilson's hand.
Cradling the luxurious and sacred gold coin, the black light in Wilson's eyes burned like flames, instantly engulfing his entire eyeball.
The seemingly solid gold coin slowly dissolved, turning into a viscous inky liquid that seemed alive, seeped into his skin, circulated throughout his body with his blood, silently darkening his entire sea of consciousness from material to soul.
Seeing the twisted, swirling black light in the other's eyes, Zhu Haomiao smirked with interest, faintly sensing that his control over him was growing stronger, to the point where he could dictate his life and death with a single thought!
"Go on."
"Yes, my lord."
In Wilson's deep kneeling worship, Zhu Haomiao departed without reluctance, turning into a shadow disappearing into the depths of the rainy night.
And within dozens of minutes, the young man arrived non-stop outside the Songjiang Prefecture's county government dungeon, frowning at the towering courtyard walls.
How troublesome... I still have to break into the prison...
Might as well let them fend for themselves...
After all, I am not related to them by blood, why should I risk my life to save them?
Anyway, I've already killed the culprit, which counts as avenging them...
And I can save a thousand taels of silver...
The thought of hassle surged into his mind, and Zhu Haomiao pursed his lips irritably, instinctively wanting to adjust his steps and leave straight away.
But in the next second, the information from the Book of Black woke him up instantly.
"Sloth +10, Dao Heart -1"
Damn!
Letting out a national curse in his mind, Zhu Haomiao broke out in a cold sweat as he realized his train of thought was somewhat off.
What about the favor repaying in kind that was promised?
Solely because of the trouble, am I really going to abandon them, is this somewhat inhumane?
Moreover, they also got into this baseless trouble because of the greed coin.
Even ignoring the facts, I must bear more than 90% of the responsibility.
Shaking his head, Zhu Haomiao punched his own head forcefully, his gaze turned firm again.
But looking at the towering courtyard walls, a new problem immediately surfaced in the young man's mind.
Perhaps he could climb over when entering, but what about when he comes out?
Liu Heng and his brothers may not have his skills.
So... is using the Kang's infiltration technique the only way?
Surveying the continuous heavy rain around, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully.
Thanks to this downpour, many of his movements were perfectly concealed, also fulfilling the conditions for the Kang's infiltration.
Crack~ Crack~
Gently moving his limbs, his whole body's joints emitted a series of crisp sounds; Zhu Haomiao took a deep breath and nimbly walked towards the main gate of the prison.
A running start and he flipped over the tightly closed gate, the pitch-black cloak allowing him to perfectly blend into the background, completely unnoticed by the prison guards inside the courtyard.
The inner courtyard's defenses were much laxer than expected, at this late hour, almost everyone had entered the dreamland, even the patrolling prison guards were dozing off leaning against the wall, not noticing a shadow quietly approaching. freewebnoveℓ.com
