Chapter 068 Lurkers
Whether it is a forceful robbery or a redemption, these methods are not realistic. Besides, when it comes to the situation at that time, Ganli's father had already thought of killing Huo Lei. To be honest, judging from the preliminary preparations of Huo Lei and Ganli's father at that time, if it is hard, it is more likely that Huo Lei will be corpsed on the spot.
And even if he could get the ring back, Mr. Ganli was relieved, but Huo Lei was not at ease. If Mr. Ganli told the secret of the ring, he would not be able to take it.
In desperation, Horay thought of the supermarket idea he had accidentally mentioned to Mr. Ganli.
First, we can convince Mr. Ganli to give up the plan to kill Huolei. After all, the situation at that time was important to save his life first. Although Mr. Ganli knew that Mr. Ganli was not a vicious person, if he suddenly lost his mind and killed himself because of Kong Jie's affairs, he had no place to shout for justice. Second, if Mr. Ganli could not control Kong Jie so tightly, and then find a way to steal Kong Jie, it would be great!
Now it seems that the plan is going well and it is done!
Although Dad Ganli lost this empty ring, he had 300,000 gold coins in return. Huolei didn't owe him anything. Not only did he get 50,000 gold coins, but he also had goods worth more than 200,000 gold coins in his hands. When the limelight came, he would deal with these magic goods. Not only would the family's economic situation change drastically, but Huolei earned this first pot of gold!
Thinking of this, Horay was a little overjoyed, but at the same time he felt a little worried. Johnny said this concern for him: "However, since this ring is so precious, you will not be in danger when you always wear it, right?"
Huole nodded slightly. Although it was dangerous, there were many unsolved mysteries on this ring. Exploring these secrets was not just to satisfy his curiosity. If he could continue to tap its potential like using it to open a magic supermarket, the benefits and even power that might bring would be huge!
Opportunities are always accompanied by dangers, and Huo Lei understands this truth best.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in less than half a year." Huo Lei changed the topic, as if he just wanted to let go of his thoughts a little.
"Yes, actually, it's okay for you to ask Elena to bring the ring back to you, why run out in person!" Johnny said with a smile: "Do you miss me?"
"How did you know?" Huo Lei made a squeaky gesture, then smiled and said, "How is it, you've been exhausted these months!"
"I'm fine. Hazel and Bob are responsible for the safety of supermarket goods, and I didn't expect that Lai Xiaoli was also a good person in charge of accounting. As for Abel, he has been named a sales star for four consecutive months, haha!" Johnny thought of something funny and said with a smile: "By the way, there is that Guru, you will never imagine what he is doing now!"
"That goblin?" Horay indeed became a little interested: "What's wrong with him?"
"He became the chef at home!" Johnny widened his eyes exaggeratedly, and his big open mouth was full of holes and teeth: "Since Elena left, no one in the family could make delicious meals anymore. However, by chance, we found that Guru was actually a cooking genius!"
"Chef?" Huo Lei smiled and frowned. He could not imagine the legendary goblin who ate raw meat and drank blood and was so dirty standing in front of the stove and waving a spoon and a wok: "You dare to eat the food prepared by Guru!?"
"Of course no one dared to eat it at the beginning!" Johnny smiled even happier: "First, the slap boy couldn't stand Lai Xiaoli's instigation and tried it a few times, and then everyone couldn't stand the slap of the slap boy and started trying. Until now, it seems that only Hazel is still insisting on not eating the food made by Guru!"
"Is that because you used to joke that Hezel didn't know how to cook at all. A goblin is better than himself in making things. As a woman, Hezel is very shameless!"
After hearing what Horay said, Johnny laughed and patted his neck: "It's very likely! It's very possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Johnny suddenly jumped up.
Johnny's whole body jumped up in the air, and his hands supported the low wall beside him. His body, which had already been exhausted, was raised again. At the same time, Johnny turned his wrist and two daggers appeared on both hands. Then Johnny fell to the roof next to him from a high point, and two sharp blades flashing with cold light in his hand, and at the same time, he stabbed a man in black lurking on the roof.
The lurker seemed to have not thought that his hiding place would be discovered so quickly. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his foot and kicked Johnny.
Johnny fell back to the ground like a pile of sacks. He quickly supported half of his body. An unclear footprint hung on the chest of his gray burqa. Blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, and his body shook slightly as if it was uncontrollably. It was not because of pain or fear, but a kind of shock from the heart!
Johnny can play, although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, even in the underground scene, Johnny has never lost even when facing an adult who is one head taller than him. However, Johnny has already had a rough understanding of the power comparison between the two sides after just one encounter. He is not an opponent!
He didn't even see clearly how the other party raised his foot and kicked himself down in the air. This shows that the other party is definitely not an ordinary adventurer in the South District or a low-level mercenary who always acts as cannon fodder!
"Doway!" Huo Lei next to him suddenly shouted, pushing Johnny half-kneeling on the ground to the side. At the same time, two light blue magic rays hit Huo Lei. Huo Lei's body staggered and then lay down to the ground without moving.
The lurker jumped off the roof next to him, and his body seemed to be light and fluttering as if he had no weight. Johnny saw the other person's face clearly, which was the face of a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. Then Johnny looked at Huo Lei, who was still lying on the ground behind him, and finally gritted his teeth, slowly standing upright like a huge rock on his back, blocking Huo Lei.
The lurker, wearing a black waist-length suit, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was slightly surprised that Johnny could stand up again.
Johnny clenched his fists tightly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth hard. He didn't know where the two daggers had fallen, but Johnny would never take a step back at this moment. He was no longer surprised by his unfathomable strength. Now, what filled Johnny's chest and abdomen was not only full of anger and murderous aura, but also a deep regret and self-blame.
Johnny never regrets it, but this time, he regrets it!
The other party was undoubtedly coming for him, holding a mysterious empty ring containing 20,000 gold coins in his hand. Although he was cautious along the way, he was still targeted. If he could be more careful, he would be more careful...
Suddenly, a fog floated out in the narrow alley. In just a moment, the fog became thick as if it had been boiled for a long time. Even if it was close, it could not see anything clearly.
The middle-aged man waved his hand expressionlessly, and a breeze blew away somewhere, which immediately blew away the fog in front of him. However, his target disappeared at the same time, as if he merged into the air with the floating fog.
The middle-aged man walked back and forth in the alley for two steps, and finally stopped in front of a pile of debris. An extremely worn felt blanket covered half of the corner of the wall. Looking at the blanket, a strange smile gradually emerged from the middle-aged man's cold face.
This alley is where Horay and Johnny met after cheating and stealing on the street. Behind the broken felt cloth was a hidden dog hole. When the fog was born, Johnny immediately understood that this was the trick made by Horay, and then thought of the secret passage used to escape!
It was precisely because Horay believed that he had a tacit understanding with Johnny that he had been nurturing for many years that he released the fog technique just now. Otherwise, his own people would have been blinded, and he would not know whether he was running away or falling into the trap.
"Are you okay? I thought you were dead!" Johnny said while running. I don't know if it was because of injury or just waiting for Horay who was slower than him. Johnny didn't run fast, and he even landed behind Horay.
"Quick! We must go to someone's place immediately!"
At this moment, Horay and Johnny were still running in a narrow alley. Although it was daytime, there was no one around. Most of the residential areas were workers working in the airport, and few people passed by them even during the day.
The two of them were familiarly passing through the middle of the alley that was slanted across, and rushed towards the nearest market. After suddenly turning around an alley, they had to stop suddenly. Not far away, the middle-aged man in black stood leisurely in the middle of the alley, blocking their way.
"It's the enchanted soft armor." The man in black saw a corner of the soft armor from Horay's collar that was opened because of running, and said with some relief: "No wonder he was hit by two frozen rays without any damage."
The enchanted soft armor is a magic item that Huo Lei purchased together when he was buying a magic book. He had already suffered from weak rays twice, so he was so determined to buy a pair of protective ray soft armor. Although the price makes Huo Lei feel quite luxurious, this enchanted soft armor only has the effect of defending against three ray spell attacks.
Now, only once left!
"Go away!" Johnny gasped and said, "I'll block him!"
"It's useless!" Seeing that Johnny was panting thicker than himself, Horay shook his head.
Although Johnny's injury was not fatal, it was really unclear. He would definitely die if he left alone. Moreover, looking at the man opposite, he was confident and his performance in the battle just now, it seemed that he couldn't escape.

Reply: pds_star1: What you said makes sense, but now I have tried to compress the settings as much as possible, and only what I use will mention. The problem now seems to be getting farther and farther away from the topic. Ah, off topic has always been my strength. I hope that by the end of the first ship, this problem can be solved well. Well, by the way, what is the theme of this book...
Chapter completed!
