Mystery: The Ultimate Tarot

Chapter 98: A Great Contribution for Hugh

Chapter 98: A Great Merit for Hugh

Through two psychic encounters, Raphael understood what was going on. He told Hugh, "The extraordinary organization behind the 'Three Brotherhood' is Fenneport's intelligence agency—."

So he began to recount what had happened. A week earlier, he had been commissioned by Dawn Dantes. When Hugh heard the name of this wealthy man, her eyes suddenly narrowed, because she knew that this Mr. Dawn was actually the "World" in the Tarot Society, a demigod, and also a follower of Mr. "The Fool".

She and Fors had previously worked as bodyguards for this wealthy man for a few days and had secretly laughed at Mr. Dawn, who frequently went to the restroom. Later, she learned that it was a negative effect of one of Mr. "World's" magical items.

Raphael first recounted Dawn Dantes's commission, and then he sent men to investigate the Kent Machine Works.

After receiving the investigation results, Raphael guessed that it was a spy company, but he did not expect that the other party would discover the investigation by Mafia member Bauer and others.

This is quite normal, since they are spies and must possess some counter-surveillance capabilities.

So they sent members of the "Three Brotherhood" to investigate Bauer and his group. After learning that they were members of the Mafia, they immediately organized members of the "Three Brotherhood" to prepare to attack the Mafia in order to confirm whether they had been exposed.

After hearing the whole story, Hugh, who was much shorter than Raphael, frowned and said, "Generally speaking, once a spy organization discovers that it has been exposed, it will definitely withdraw quickly. But they actually conducted a probe and investigation."

Raphael gave a wicked smile: "This spy company must be a very important base—well, now that the war has started, the Fenneport Embassy is definitely under tight surveillance, so such a spy company must have new important missions."

In other words, this spy company is now too important for them to give up easily, and they have even done things that defy common sense.

"Anyway," Raphael smiled, "you've done a great job!"

Taking down a spy company like that would probably be enough for a promotion.

But Raphael did not intend to participate in the next operation. He was already preparing to digest the "living corpse" potion and did not want to get involved in the battle between spies and agents.

Hugh nodded and said shrewdly, "I won't share the credit with you; consider it payment for using me."

Raphael laughed and said, "Don't put it that way, we're helping each other."

As they spoke, the two left the room. The battlefield outside had been mostly cleaned up; the bodies had been largely removed. The bloodstains on the ground, the bullet holes in the walls, the broken furniture and glass, etc., were left for the police to clean up. They were only responsible for taking away most of the bodies.

The remaining bodies were the result of the police's efforts; tomorrow's newspapers will carry news of the police's annihilation of the "Three Brothers Society."

Raphael selected several good bodies and loaded them onto a carriage, along with the bodies of three extraordinary individuals, including Wilbert, which he intended to take back to turn into living corpses.

The extraordinary characteristics of the body had been extracted, and Raphael put them away, showing no intention of sharing them with Hugh.

After all, this battle was mainly fought by members of the Mafia, and Hugh did not participate. Moreover, she took the credit, so there was no need to give her any other spoils of war.

Just as the two Mafia members were carrying Wilbert's body out, Raphael and Hugh were suddenly struck by a spiritual awakening and looked towards the rooftops across the street.

A figure wearing a black mask appeared there. The other party must have been hiding there all along, but had no intention of attacking before. Now that it was suddenly about to make a move, Raphael and Hugh's spiritual senses detected the danger.

The next second, Raphael and Hugh both looked at each other's hands.

He had a grenade in his hand, and he had already pulled the pin, but he didn't throw it immediately.

Raphael yelled, "Watch out for grenades!"

The other party was clearly waiting for the grenade's safe time to pass before throwing it, so that it would explode almost as soon as it hit the target, preventing the target from dodging or kicking the grenade away.

As Raphael spoke up to warn them, the other side had already thrown down a grenade.

All of this happened so fast that ordinary people didn't even have time to react.

Raphael quickly instructed the player closest to the grenade to jump up and head the grenade back into the air.

Boom!

The zombie that jumped up didn't have time to dodge. Half of its head was blown off, and its shoulder was also blown to pieces. It lay motionless on the ground.

The surrounding mafia members quickly lay down or sought cover due to the sudden explosion.

Raphael and Hugh had already climbed up from two directions with the agility of monkeys, attacking the masked figure. At the same time, Raphael combined the direction from which the figure threw the grenade with the fact that the figure wanted to destroy the body of Wilbert, the leader of the "Three Brotherhood," and guessed that it was someone sent by Kent Machinery Factory.

Raphael attacked so aggressively because his opponent was only a Sequence 7, and he and Hugh, both Sequence 6, could easily take him down.

The person who threw the grenade was Qazari, whom Raphael had just heard about during his psychic encounter.

According to intelligence, the Mafia boss appears to be a Sequence 7, so he came here on orders to prepare to attack the Mafia with the "Three Brothers".

However, they found the elite of the "Three Brotherhood" trapped in the shop by members of the Mafia, and the battle was over in just two or three minutes.

Since neither Raphael nor Hugh made a move, Kazari assumed that the Mafia had only deployed a few "low-sequence" Beyonders. When he saw Wilbert's body being carried out, he wanted to blow it up to prevent the enemy from psychic possession.

The reason he did this was that he noticed the Mafia was not backed by the police or MI9, so he wanted to avoid exposing himself and Paul as much as possible.

Even if the mafia boss intervenes, Qazari is confident he can escape.

But when he saw Raphael and Hugh charging toward him with agility, Kazari realized he had misjudged the situation and turned to run.

Hugh solemnly replied in Old Hermes, "Imprisonment!"

She certainly wouldn't let the enemy get away so easily; Qazari's movements were restricted by the viscous air.

Although Kazari was wearing a mask, his eyes were filled with fear, because Raphael had climbed to the rooftop and, the moment the "imprisonment" ability disappeared, punched Kazari off the rooftop and onto the street.

Before he even hit the ground, Kazari coughed up blood, his chest ripped open by Raphael's punch.

Just as Gaddafi was about to hit the ground, a solemn voice rang out again: "Exile!"

Kazari, who was falling, was pushed away by the illusory force and eventually rolled a distance on the ground without being injured.

Then Raphael and Hugh saw another person wearing a black mask and a black trench coat appear on a rooftop not far away.

Raphael immediately realized that this must be Mr. Paul, a Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight"!

The other party made their move because they felt they hadn't been exposed yet. After all, psychic abilities aren't something just any extraordinary person possesses. They didn't believe a gang could sort out the clues so quickly and identify them as spies.

However, if Gadzari falls into enemy hands, he will be exposed, which is why they want to rescue him.

Raphael was about to say, "You can leave," when the "Punishment Knight" charged towards him and Hugh.
