The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 337

Chapter 337

The footsteps were approaching .

When Kieran and Lawless saw the person behind them though, they were stunned .

Despite the fact that he was wearing a black coat and a round hat, the moment he looked at them, they knew it was Monien the Broker .

"What the hell are you doing here, Mr . Broker?" Lawless said rudely when he saw the Broker in that weird outfit .

Compared to the Broker they remembered, the man before them gave them a strange feeling . He looked like a fox wearing a chicken’s feathers and claiming to be a hen .

"Guiding you, of course . While also reminiscing about the former glory of Old Strea Street!" the Broker said, making Kieran frown .

Everyone else could have said this about Old Strea Street, except the Broker . The fact that he had taken advantage of that incident to replace Old Strea Street with Loens Street made Kieran feel extremely uncomfortable when he said that .

Kieran didn’t want the Broker guiding them . The man had to have some ulterior motive . After all, they were not going for a stroll around the city . They were heading to the den of a killer organization . The trip there would be very dangerous .

If the unscrupulous merchant was willing to take that risk, there could only be one explanation . He had something to gain!

Kieran was certain about it .

Otherwise, the Broker would have kept contacting Kieran and Lawless safely through PM and sent someone else to guide them .

"What is his real purpose in coming here? It must be something that only he can accomplish or benefit from!" Kieran guessed as he communicated with Lawless through PM .

Lawless agreed with his perspective, wondering about what could have caused the Broker to take this risk himself .

Kieran and Lawless were communicating behind the Broker while he walked ahead, pretending that he did not notice them chit-chatting behind him .

"The assassin I encountered last time left me in a state of shock! I need to witness this myself . I need to see what will become of those bastards! Only when they are killed, will I be able to feel safe again . I can’t even finish a meal in peace anymore . . . " the Broker said .

Kieran and Lawless pouted as they heard him .

The two of them were not some kindergarten kids . They’d never believe anything he said .

If he was in a state of shock, but still willing to take this risk with them, then he had to have an ulterior motive . The two parties were not close enough to risk their lives for each other after all .

The Broker definitely possessed a certain level of confidence though .

"Lawless: Be careful, something is fishy about this guy!"

"2567: Sure!"

Lawless warned Kieran once more via PM .

They both remained vigilant as they followed the Broker to a wider space .

The fallen street lamps, the broken benches and the dried-up fountain told Keiran that the place had once been a plaza or public square . When the players had left though, it had shared the same fate as Old Strea Street . It had been turned into a wasteland .

"Tada! There it is!"

The Broker, who was standing at the square’s entrance, was pointing at a six-storey building on the other side of the deserted area .

"Coll is in there?" Lawless asked to make sure .

"According to my sources, yes! Go ahead!" the Broker said with an inviting gesture .

"You are not coming?" Lawless asked with a cold grunt .

"I’m just your guide . You will reach your destination soon, so it would be wiser for me to stand aside . I hope the two of you make it back safely!" the Broker said with a smile before he stepped back and merged with the shadow .

Broker’s skill which was on par with Transcendence [Undercover] made Kieran squint but what concerned Kieran the most was the Broker’s blessing before he’d left .

It felt very unsettling coming from him .

It had sounded like it had been addressed to the two of them, but it had actually just been meant for Kieran .

Although there was no proof for this, after going through all sorts of dangers, Kieran had begun to trust his intuition . He was currently feeling like he was being watched .

The Broker must have wanted to make sure that Kieran and Lawless entered the six-storey building .

"Something is wrong here!" Kieran thought unconsciously . Before he could connect the dots though, a person appeared in the six-storey building in the distance .

His face was blurred off by the system, but he had a tall, buff figure . He looked very tanned and his arm muscles seemed tight . His palms and fingers were thick and robust .

The buff man was using his left thumb and index finger to hold the scrawny Coll, as if he was holding a small chicken .

The man had obviously seen Kieran and Lawless, as he raised his right thumb up and moved it over his throat .

Then, before Kieran and Lawless could react, he threw Coll off the building .

Bang!

The sound of the impact was mixed with a clear bone-splintering noise .

The sudden impact caused the body to twist upon making contact with the ground .

Fresh blood dyed the ground red in an instant .

"COLL!" Lawless yelled loudly, unable to save his friend in time . His eyes widened in rage as he dashed towards the building like a vicious tiger running down a mountain .

Kieran wanted to stop him, but it was too late .

"F*ck!" Kieran’s heart skipped a beat .

As he had watched Coll get thrown off the building, he had realized what their enemies had wanted to achieve . They wanted to enrage Lawless!

Lawless and Coll had been very good friends . Even Kieran, who had barely known the guy, felt rage in his heart, but he forced himself to calm down .

One of them was already being fueled by rage . If both of them lost their calm, they would be finished off by their enemies in no time .

Kieran gripped the box that held [Arrogant Word] as he chased after Lawless .

His eyes were scanning the area and his ears were listening carefully, trying to catch anything unusual .

However, even though he was 120% focused, he still couldn’t understand how Lawless had disappeared .

A moment ago, his friend had been dashing out madly within his sight, but the next moment, he had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there .

Kieran was stunned .

Suddenly, a sharp noise was heard behind him .
