Reborn as the Vampire Prince at Server Start, I am Invincible Chapter 113 : Black-on-Black Crime (5)

Black-on-Black Cri (5)

Although this was just a ga, as soon as Chen Zixuan thought that this body would soon beco his own in reality, he still couldn't stand the idea of being pushed and touched at will by other n.

So, he waved off the man's lecherous hand and coldly asked, "Are you looking for trouble?"

Seeing how confident this disguised and sneaky person in front of him was, the tattooed man imdiately grew hesitant, afraid of accidentally offending so big shot. But rembering his duty as a doorman, he finally gathered his courage and asked, "Sorry, our casino is only open to regulars. Who are you?"

Naturally, Chen Zixuan couldn't reveal his identity, but he didn't want to climb up the building or sneak in through a window, and then have to slowly explore the casino by himself—it would be too much of a waste of ti.

After a mont's thought, a plan ford in his mind. Feigning composure, he said, "I have crucial information to report to Lord Austin. If the timing is delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Lord Austin is very busy. Not just anyone can see him. If you have information, tell , and I'll pass it on," the tattooed man still refused to let him in, as if he was determined to block Chen Zixuan.

Seeing this tattooed man was not budging, Chen Zixuan had no better plan and could only start making things up, weaving it together with what he already knew: "It's intel related to the Scythe Gang. They're planning a night attack on this casino. That's all I can say. Go and report it."

The mont he heard the words "Scythe Gang," the tattooed man's vigilance shot up. He quietly warned Chen Zixuan not to move, then turned and went up to the second floor.

A few minutes later, the tattooed man descended the stairs with a sullen face and impatiently told Chen Zixuan, "Go up. Lord Austin is waiting for you in room 208."

"I'm warning you, this place is full of our people. Don't think about making a move!"

Lifting his head, Chen Zixuan shot him a chilly glance, then ignored him, detouring around and heading up the stairs.

Unlike the brightly lit first-floor lobby, the long corridor on the second floor was pitch black. Every few ters, a mber of the Hamr Gang stood guard, making the place seem particularly secure.

Earlier, Chen Zixuan had already clashed with mbers of the Scythe Gang and roughly determined their levels—generally between 8 and 10, not enough to pose any threat to him at the mont.

So, he felt little fear. He walked down the corridor and soon found the door marked 208.

How about just storming in and taking out Austin directly?

Then he could clear out the rest of the enemies here, farm so experience, and finally look for where those goods were hidden.

Standing at the door, this idea suddenly popped into Chen Zixuan's mind.

After a mont's hesitation, he dismissed the thought and obediently knocked on the door.

Austin was, after all, the boss of a gang and couldn't be compared to those small fry. He might even be level 20.

Charging in recklessly would likely spell disaster, so it was better to bide his ti for now...

Creak—

The door opened a crack, and a hoarse, low voice sounded from inside.

"Co in."

So, Chen Zixuan pushed open the door and entered.

It was an extravagantly decorated room: crimson carpet blanketed the floor; on the walls hung the heads of so unknown magic beasts as decorations. Under the faint lights, more than a dozen figures stood lining either side of the room, and in the center sat a burly, bald man on a huge sofa.

That many people?

Chen Zixuan couldn't help but frown.

Room 208 was indeed spacious, but it was also filled with furniture that looked extrely valuable at a glance, so the terrain wasn't open but rather crowded. Adding in the more than ten elite mbers of the Hamr Gang clustered around Austin, Chen Zixuan had no idea where to even begin an assault at that mont.

Lifting his black hood slightly, Chen Zixuan inconspicuously glanced at the window.

Outside the window was a busy street. If he could take down Austin in one quick, high-damage blow, then make his escape through the window, he might not have to face those dozen or so elite gang mbers.

Provided, of course, that jumping down two stories wasn't fatal.

Although he'd jumped from similar heights before with no significant injury, there was no guarantee about how the ga's fall damage worked—if he broke a leg jumping out, that would be embarrassing.

Besides, there wouldn't be much ti to loot Austin's corpse under such circumstances.

Chen Zixuan clearly rembered that the initial quest had ntioned, "Go to the Hamr Gang's treasure vault," which ant the stolen goods should be in their vault.

To open the vault, he would definitely need a key, and it was highly likely that Austin had it on him.

Without the key, he couldn't open the vault, nor could he get the 200 units of [Natural Snow Silkworm Silk] needed to craft the level-15 [Rose Maid] set.

So after all, his only option was to kill everyone in this room.

At the sa ti, austin was also sizing up Chen Zixuan. After a mont, he leaned back against the soft seat and spoke in a raspy voice, "What news about the Scythe Gang do you have for ? Speak now."

After a brief hesitation, Chen Zixuan shook his head slowly and said, "This room isn't safe. Too many people. You've got a traitor among you—the location has already been leaked."

Chen Zixuan had expected Austin to fly into a rage, and was already prepared for a fight.

But Austin seed as though he'd long suspected a traitor. He simply nodded without surprise, then said carelessly, "I know there's a Scythe Gang informant in our ranks. He's already been dragged off and fed to the alley dogs—you can speak freely."

After a pause, he suddenly fixed Chen Zixuan with a dark, nacing glare and threatened, "If you can't give any valuable intel, your fate will be the sa as his!"

Suddenly, a flash of red appeared before Chen Zixuan's eyes, and a line of blood-red text appeared above Austin's head.

[Hamr Gang Boss, austin]

At the sa ti, the voice of the system's announcer echoed in his ear:

"System warning! You have encountered a red-na NPC. Please either evade and escape imdiately or prepare for battle!"

So now he'd turned into a red-na NPC—was this going down for real?

In that instant, austin's info panel appeared before Chen Zixuan's eyes.
