Chapter 119
When you see injustice on the road, draw your sword to help.
Lappland slung her oddly shaped crescent-shaped longsword over her shoulder with her right hand, her left hand relaxed. She turned her head to look at Texas, who had drawn her Bronze Sword, her tone tinged with a hint of melancholy:
"I never expected we'd have the chance to fight side-by-side. Chelinina, how about we have a competition to see who can finish this faster?"
"Boring."
Texas glared at her, somewhat displeased:
"I've told you several times, don't call my name here. I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble."
The ten Lupo assassins, ignored, felt a surge of anger rising within them. One of them warily eyed the Twin Wolves before him, a feeling that the Silver-haired Lupo looked vaguely familiar.
"Ordinary people should refrain from interfering in family matters. If you know what's good for you, hand over that woman!"
Hahahaha.
Lappland let out a maniacal laugh, then tilted her head ninety degrees to look at Shi Lei by the roadside and asked:
"Did you give me one of those shields? I'd like to try it out, is that okay? Is that okay?"
Since we're going to emulate Chelinina, we should naturally enjoy the same treatment as her. Texas looked slightly displeased upon hearing this, but there was nothing wrong with demanding a shield before a fight.
Shi Lei is now at the Immortal Realm, able to provide shields remotely with just his will. Long before entering the city, he had already cast a layer of transparent Jade Shield on everyone.
The masked woman had just slipped and fallen, so to prevent any accidents, he also put the mask on the mother and daughter.
Seeing Shi Lei nod, Lappland grinned, revealing her wolf fangs, and warmed up by stretching her shoulders. Although she had weights on her limbs, they only weighed a few pounds and didn't affect her combat ability.
"Click".
Exusiai quickly loaded her gun, having brought plenty of live ammunition this time. However, rubber bullets would suffice to deal with the henchmen; it's best to save resources where possible.
"Hey, have you two forgotten about us? There aren't enough people to go around with these ten."
Lappland didn't bother with any talk of martial virtues; as she spoke, she charged straight ahead.
"Hey, let's see who can kill faster."
A Lupo assassin stared at the approaching figure, finally remembering the identity of the white-haired Lupo:
"Retreat! It's Saluzzo's White Wolf!"
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Ranged attackers like Exusiai can use their guns to pick off enemies. But Croissant, Croissant dual hammers, didn't even get close before the battle was over.
She touched the corpses on the ground with the tip of her hammer to confirm that they were all dead beyond any doubt. What a disappointment, so incredibly disappointing! There was absolutely no fighting experience whatsoever.
Texas sheathed her sword and, after the battle, made no attempt to greet the mother and daughter.
Shi Lei walked up and politely extended his right hand:
"La Signora, are you alright?"
The masked woman was startled, then grabbed his hand and stood up:
"Thanks."
Her daughter, Lisa, had light blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. She was currently hiding timidly behind her mother, observing the man before her.
"Hello, we are travelers from out of town. What happened that led to you being chased?"
"Aha, I've taken care of five."
Lappland shook her weapon violently, wiping away the blood. These few lackeys weren't even enough for a proper meal; it wasn't satisfying at all. Hearing Shi Lei's question, she turned and called out:
"Hey, you can't say that. If you say you're a passenger, they're even less likely to tell you."
"Huh? Why?"
"In Syracuse, there are only two kinds of people: those of the family and those who are not. You made it clear from the beginning that you are not of the family, so what is the point of her telling you the truth? Let me do it."
The masked woman showed no fear as she watched Lappland slowly approach. She had recognized the assassin long before he uttered "The White Wolf of Saluzzo."
The veiled woman frowned, her attention fixed on Texas's face. Her hair was a deep blue outer layer and a red inner layer. This unique two-tone hair color was previously possessed by only one family in Syracuse.
Texas!
As the Gold Medal Killer of the Konobo family, the masked woman participated in the extermination of the clan three years ago.
However, she and Lappland were not in the same squad. She was in charge of several other Texas Family strongholds in Columbia, and they had never met before.
With her two-tone hair and blue-and-yellow eyes, there's no mistaking her for any other woman. She is none other than Chelinina Texas Texas, the sole survivor of the purge targeting the entire Texas race!
As he was lost in thought, Saluzzo's White Wolf appeared before him.
Shi Lei has
Give them shields, and you won't have to worry about Lappland suddenly going berserk and killing the mother and daughter.
She might actually be capable of doing something like that.
"You heard that, didn't you? I am the White Wolf of Saluzzo. Is this some kind of internal family feud, or something else? Tell me about it."
The masked woman licked her lips, and after a brief moment of thought, chose to tell the truth:
"Our Konobo family and the Bruno family jointly govern the Lakmawati City, but recently we failed to reach an agreement on the distribution of mining resources. As a result, they sent people to set fire to the city and also attacked the Konobo family's residence, killing all the core members of the Konobo family."
"Oh?"
Lappland read something else into it, and suddenly pressed his hand against the veiled woman's neck:
"How come you're unharmed while all the core members are dead? Could it be that you betrayed the family?"
Seeing her mother in danger, Lisa suddenly felt a surge of energy within her, even her fox ears stood up:
"Let go of my mother!"
181 The Executioners (3K)
Without using Originium weapons, Lisa unleashed a wave of magical energy. It shot in a straight line towards the Silver-haired Lupo who was threatening her mother's life.
Two or three energy waves clearly hit their target, but failed to cause any damage to Lappland. This was because she was currently protected by Shi Lei's Jade Shield.
But Lisa was unaware of this and continued to release waves of magical energy. As the other woman retreated, she used her small body to shield the masked woman.
"Get out of here! Don't hurt my mother!"
This amused Lappland, who brandished her weapon and threatened, "..."
"Ah ha, little guy, aren't you afraid of dying?"
Seeing the White Wolf in Saluzzo threatening her daughter, the masked woman quickly pulled Lisa behind her:
"Don't touch her. If you have any problems, come at me."
"Heh heh, what a touching mother-daughter bond..."
Seeing that the Silver-haired Lupo was still joking with the two of them, Shi Lei sternly warned:
"Enough! Stop!"
Upon hearing this, Lappland, like a child warned by a teacher to call his parents, obediently put away his weapon.
She could ignore what others said, and she could listen to half of what Texas said, but she had no choice but to listen to Shi Lei.
On their En route to Syracuse, they once talked about Mudrock. Lappland then learned that the Sarkaz who had repeatedly beaten him was actually one of his servants.
Regardless of whether the term "family member" actually meant subordinate, the fact that that woman was willing to submit to him shows that Shi Lei's strength far surpassed hers.
Lappland has occasional bouts of madness, but she's not stupid. She knows exactly who she can and can't mess with.
Shi Lei noticed black blood flowing from the little girl's arm and asked in confusion:
How long have you had this infection, child?
"No, she was just infected today. The Bruno family was afraid of my strength, so they hid the Originium crystal in a teddy bear. They secretly gave it to my daughter while I was away from the base, and she ended up getting stabbed."
Thank you all for your help tonight. I will definitely treat you to a meal sometime to repay your kindness. But now, I need to take my daughter to see Doctor to treat her wound.
After saying that, she took Lisa's little hand and prepared to leave the scene with her daughter.
Shi Lei felt extremely sorry to see such a lovely little girl become an infected person. He recalled a fire he had encountered when he was a regular courier in Lungmen.
At that time, there was a mother who chained her infected child to her home. He didn't want such a tragedy to repeat itself with this little girl, so he spoke up:
"Having Originium-related illness won't help you with Doctor. La Signora, how about I give it a try?"
Ah?
The veiled woman couldn't believe her ears, staring at the man before her. He was dressed in ancient-style Yan attire and looked to be only in his early twenties.
"Excuse me, are you Doctor?"
"I'm sorry, I'm not."
"Thank you for your kindness. I need to take her to get her wound bandaged right away. Goodbye."
Exusiai the woman about to leave, Exusiai spoke up to persuade her:
"Even Doctor can't save someone with Originium-related illness. Just let him try; he's very good at it."
"This..."
Compared to a stranger offering their services, the veiled woman was more inclined to trust the Doctor's authority. However, it is undeniable that Originium-related illness is currently incurable.
If she had just been poked by Originium crystal, cutting off her arm might have prevented infection. But several hours had passed since the daughter was infected. The Originium Particles had already spread throughout her body via her bloodstream.
Besides, she couldn't bring herself to cut off her daughter's hand.
"Oh well..."
With the parents' permission, Shi Lei approached. He gave a polite smile and asked:
"Little sister, do you only have this one wound? Or do you have many wounds?"
Lisa seemed a little socially awkward, timidly casting a questioning glance at her mother. Seeing her nod, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing her smooth, fair arms.
There's only one.
Shi Lei had already cast the Jade Shield on her, so there was no need to cast it again. After confirming the quantity, he used Rock Constructs the size of a die, which he conjured out of thin air, to approach the wound.
As a visible ring of Rock Element diffused, it resonated with the Originium. Originium crystal crystals quickly condensed at the wound and began to activate violently.
"What did you do to her?"
!
The masked woman was horrified and tried to stop them, but was stopped by Texas and Exusiai.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
As a mother, how could she bear to see her child crippled by an explosion? This child was the apple of her eye!
But in that brief moment of distraction, the Originium on Lisa's arm turned red and hot, then exploded instantly.
"No!"
The masked woman forcefully broke free from her restraints, her eyes reddening as she stepped forward to check on her daughter's injuries. To her surprise, she discovered that Lisa's arm was completely unharmed, without any damage whatsoever.
The wound that was originally bleeding black blood has now healed completely, and the attached Originium has disappeared.
How... how is this possible?
After completing the removal surgery, Shi Lei explained:
"La Signora, I have removed the Originium from her hand. However, I cannot deal with the Originium that has entered her body for the time being; I can only slow down the spread of Originium-related illness."
"Thank you so much, you're Divine Doctor!"
The masked woman's emotions went from initial distrust to hesitation, and finally to complete trust, like a rollercoaster ride.
This handsome young man seems to be someone important; even the White Wolf of Saluzzo family is afraid of him.
Etc!
Upon hearing the Lappland, the masked woman suddenly realized something and looked at the other woman's bare thighs.
Several years ago, rumors circulated that the Saluzzo family's White Wolf had become an Infected, with obvious Originium on his leg. Later, for some reason, he was expelled from the Saluzzo family.
Now she only has a few scars on her thighs, but they are not black scars from Originium condensation. Could it be that her Originium-related illness is cured?
