Chapter 301 The Real Conspiracy
And so, the residents of the Fourth City swarmed forward and beat the men mercilessly. They were left with bruises and all their belongings were taken from them.
Then, realizing they had been tricked, the residents of the fourth floor stopped lingering in front of the Youquan Pavilion and returned to their homes. Only a few people, stripped down to their underwear, remained in front of the Youquan Pavilion.
"Haha, that's so satisfying!" The Witch of Deception laughed, pointing at the people on the ground.
Di Xing smiled and placed the Ghostly Cards on the ground.
"I need to communicate with the last foreign player. Please protect me."
The Snow Woman nodded seriously.
Di Xing returned to the secret room where he communicated with Lord Labilins, but this time the machine did not respond. Just as Di Xing was wondering, he was suddenly tapped on his right shoulder. He hurriedly looked to his right rear, but there was nothing there.
"I fooled you~" A lazy and cute voice came from behind Di Xing's left. Di Xing turned around and saw that it was Ariana, the summoner of Silver City!
Ariana looks almost exactly like her sister, except that her sister has pink pupils and wings, while Ariana's are green. Also, unlike her lively and somewhat noisy sister, Ariana has a relaxed and adorable personality.
At this moment, Ariana said in a cute and innocent tone, "The city lord has been busy lately. He sent me to tell you, 'Well done! I'll have Twilight Duron accelerate his movement towards South River Fortress.'" Ariana tried her best to imitate Labyrinth's mature and sophisticated tone.
Di Xing breathed a sigh of relief; this Rabillins was surprisingly trustworthy.
"Then Lord Rabillins also instructed you to hand over all the gold coins to me as agreed after the matter was over."
"Okay," Di Xing nodded in agreement, even though it hurt his wallet.
"Is this okay? You worked so hard to get so many gold coins~"
"It's already very good. My little bit of money isn't even enough to speed up the city's development. It feels like Lord Labilins is just messing with me."
"Maybe that's really true~"
"Alright, I'm going to meet up with my teammates. Do you want to come with me?"
Ariana shook her head. "That's too much trouble. Ariana, I'll wait for you here."
Di Xing nodded, and after taking a few more spirit stones, he bid farewell to the Ghostly Spirits and prepared to go and meet Vitty and the others.
Although the head of the Gako family had been defeated, there was no guarantee that the other families in the Hexagram wouldn't be too clever and still want to attack them. That's why he made a deal with Lord Labilins, allowing Twilight Durren to accelerate his movement towards Vitty and the others. Now that he was rushing over to support them, he should be able to do so without any mishaps.
Di Xing prepared to return to the Iron Wasteland through the tunnel beneath Youquan Pavilion, but as soon as he entered, he heard a strange noise coming from inside the tunnel, and rocks began to fall from the tunnel ceiling, indicating a risk of collapse.
Di Xing hurriedly came out of the tunnel and complained, "Honestly, this Xiao Hong is so careless in her work."
Left with no other option, Di Xing had to walk out of the main entrance of the Youquan Pavilion, board the Star Shuttle, and prepare to take the shortest route, running straight through the residential area on the fourth floor, and then plunging down from the edge of the fourth floor. The Star Shuttle had a gliding function, so a safe landing wouldn't be a problem.
When Di Xing sped to the Scrap Metal Plaza, he discovered that the Scrap Metal Statue had vanished. It seemed the red dragon that had helped in the battle had indeed flown out of this statue; was this the true legacy of the Scrap Metal District? Ruan Nuo was actually able to awaken the red dragon; who exactly was she...?
While deep in thought, Di Xing suddenly sensed danger and slammed on the brakes, jerking the steering wheel sharply. The Star Shuttle immediately executed a beautiful tail swing, dodging the metal grappling hook that was hurtling towards it.
"They're really vigilant."
As Di Xing was puzzled, four huge metal pillars at the four corners of the Scrap Iron Plaza suddenly rose up, and then a blue electric current flashed between them. Di Xing suddenly felt all the spiritual power in his body being drained away.
"This, this is!?"
"It wasn't for nothing that the council went through all that trouble to get rid of those troublesome guys around you. Di Xing, now you're all alone. Come with me obediently."
A figure in a black cloak emerged from the shadows. Di Xing recognized the voice. "You are... Dark Robert of the Dark Guard?" The strange man who beat up Mingzai with his mechanical card deck!
"Good memory. Throw away your duel disk and come with me. I'll only say this once."
Dark Roberts showed his arm with the Duel Disk attached, meaning that if Desmond dared to resist, he would beat him to the ground.
Di Xing obediently put down the Duel Disk. He had already realized that not only was his energy sealed, but the Duel Disk's system was also malfunctioning. It seemed that this was a carefully prepared trap for him.
"Are you saying that the Six-Pointed Star family orchestrated this whole series of events under the direction of your Dark Council, and that the sole purpose was to capture me?"
“That’s right, so feel honored. I’ve been in the Dark Guard for over a decade, and you’re the first person the Dark Council has ever made such a big fuss to capture. Even among transmigrators, you’re the most special.”
"Ha, should I be happy that you destroyed the tunnel beneath the Ghost Spring Pavilion?"
"That's right, in order not to arouse your suspicion, we deliberately faked it as a natural collapse."
"You've all worked so hard, but am I really that valuable?"
"What a joke!" Di Xing himself didn't think he was that important, but the operation to capture him was real. That could only mean that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind the Dark Council, a conspiracy worth going to such lengths for.
"That's not my concern. However, the Dark Council didn't actually pay a high price. As long as they offered the Hexagram family a promise, they would obediently comply. In the face of absolute power, money is nothing."
"Really? Didn't the Dark Council also take the opportunity to make a fortune?" Di Xing mocked.
“Yes,” Dak Roberts answered crisply, “but that has nothing to do with me taking you away.”
Then, with a wave of his hand, dozens of bodyguards emerged from the shadows and surrounded Di Xing.
"You really think highly of me."
Di Xing was still stubbornly insisting, but he was actually sweating profusely. Was he really doomed this time? He never expected that the Dark Council would pull such a big stunt just to capture him. What should he do now? He had used up all his backup plans. Was he really going to be finished?
Just as Di Xing's mind was racing, a crisp snort of a horse rang out, followed by three gunshots, and three members of the secret guards fell to the ground.
Under the elegant moonlight, a magnificent horse galloped gracefully into the battlefield, while the rider stylishly held down her cowboy hat with one hand, and a revolver in her other hand emitted wisps of smoke. Behind her sat a dual-wielding gunslinger with beautiful violet eyes.
The newcomers were Jane of the Magic Bullet and Lunia of the Magic Key.
"Lunya, Jane!"
With a casual pull on the reins, Jian Xiaosai, like a skilled cowboy, said, "Young knight, we've come to rescue you."
