Effie's nerves were tense to the extreme. Even if she encountered the same thing again after many years, she didn't expect that Mr. Haddish's family would be involved.
There were chaotic sounds from outside the cellar. Mr. Hades seemed to be struggling with the thug, and he made a miserable scream.
"Mara, I'm going out. I can't let Mr. Hades suffer anything because of me."
"But miss..." Mara grabbed Effie's sleeve.
"If anything happens to Mr. Hades's family because of me, my soul will never be forgiven." Effie looked into Mara's eyes and said.
"Then I'll go out with you." Mara let go of her hand and said with the same firm gaze.
Effie held the dagger, climbed up the escalator, opened the locked cellar door, and pushed it upwards.
As the cellar door slowly opened, brutal screams could be clearly heard.
Effie and Mara's faces turned slightly pale, but they still pushed the cellar door upwards with force.
"I'm here, don't..." Effie jumped out of the cellar and shouted.
Then……
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the giant man lying on the ground screaming in disbelief.
As well as Mag, who had one foot placed on the indescribable position of the giant man, and Amy, who was sitting on a small chair.
Paji.
It was the sound of eggs breaking.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I was nervous for a moment." Mag retracted his foot, took half a step back, and said apologetically.
"ah--"
The giant man screamed, his eyeballs protruded, and he almost fainted from the pain.
Mara jumped out of the cellar, holding a wine bottle in her hand, and she had already made an expression of death.
Then I happened to see this scene.
Snapped!
The wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered on the ground.
"Miss Effie, Mara, are you okay?" Mag looked at Effie and asked with a smile, with concern in her tone.
"No...it's okay."
Effie tried to take her eyes away from the thug on the ground who had three bright red lines on his face, two disfigured hands, and something that seemed to be broken between his hips.
"Mr. Hades, you..."
Effie wanted to care about them, but it seemed that the current situation was beyond her understanding.
A thug who was fierce enough to cut down the magic shield put up by a fifth-level magician encountered the Hades father and daughter, but he became as miserable as he is now.
It was really... beyond her imagination.
"We were just getting ready for bed when we heard an unusual noise over here, so we came over to check it out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in the door, I saw this stupid guy doing crazy self-mutilation. My hand was smashed and the situation was tight, so I could only use some special methods to calm him down a little. "
Mag looked at Effie with a smile: "So, you should believe it."
Effie looked at Mag with a gentle smile, and her frightened heart seemed to be soothed. The sense of security was something she had not felt in many years.
Over the years, she has never thought about finding someone to cuddle with. She would rather make the cellar stronger than find a man for herself.
But at this moment, she suddenly thought, if Mr. Hades was by their side tonight, then she wouldn't have to go into the cellar in embarrassment, right?
"I believe it." Effie nodded.
"Uuuuuu——"
The giant man lying on the ground looked at Mag with wide eyes, as if he had something to say, something related to his dignity.
"Although the situation is a bit complicated, this stupid guy still revealed some information in order to thank me for stopping his self-harm impulse."
Mag nodded and said, "Do you have any sworn enemies? Someone who would buy your life on the black market?"
"Are you selling your life on the black market?" Effie's expression changed slightly and she glanced at the thugs on the ground.
Sure enough, her previous guess was correct, this guy was not just here for money.
"I shouldn't have any enemies. The business of Titan Tavern has been bad these years, let alone the jealousy of my peers." Effie shook her head.
"Yes, our young lady gets along very well with the neighbors and has never blushed." Mara nodded.
"That's it." Mag pondered, and his eyes fell on the giant man on the ground again.
"Hero, when did you take on this black market mission? Tell me the details." Mag asked with a smile, already stepping on his arm with one foot.
"Don't step on it! I said it! I said it all!" the giant man shouted hurriedly, fearing that Mag would have another accident.
"This is a mission that just appeared on the black market yesterday. The requirement is to rob the owner of the Titan Tavern and then burn down the wine cellar and the tavern. The commission is one million copper coins.
The employer will confirm the result himself, and after it is completed, he can directly receive half of the commission. The employer will provide the delivery address through the black market and get the remaining commission. "
The giant man finished his words quickly.
Then Mag stepped on and broke his arm.
"How despicable you are to treat two helpless ladies like this."
Mag retracted his feet and looked at the screaming giant man with some contempt.
"What the hell..." the giant man yelled.
But just as he was about to curse, a folding chair greeted him in the face.
"You must be of good character, and no swear words are allowed."
Amy held the chair with one hand and said in a milky voice.
Effie looked at the giant man whose face turned into a nine-square grid, and then looked at Amy, a little confused.
Say the most civilized words and do the toughest work.
The giant man suppressed his blush, hummed a few words, and lost all his temper.
"Obviously, the mastermind behind the scenes is here for you, Miss Effie, and the Titan wine in the cellar." Mag said, looking at Effie.
The fresh task just released yesterday, the high commission, the clear goal, but no clear direction.
Moreover, the mastermind behind the scenes is very cautious. He releases tasks through the black market and has no direct contact with the murderer. Even commissions are traded through the black market.
"Who could it be? We just got the gold medal back yesterday." Effie frowned, puzzled.
"Actually, it's very simple to find out who is behind the scenes. As long as you complete the black market mission and hand you over to him, you will naturally know who is manipulating all this." Mag smiled.
"Mr. Hades means...burn down the wine cellar and tavern, and then hand me over to the murderer behind the scenes?" Effie looked at Mag, her expression slightly changed.
"One million copper coins, a lot of small change." Amy sat down again and counted with her fingers.
Mag looked at Effie and Mara, who were a little nervous, and quickly smiled and shook his head: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, we can direct a scene and meet the mastermind in person. Of course, the tavern cannot be burned. The wine cellar cannot be destroyed.”
"But what are we going to do?" Effie frowned.
"Isn't there another tool man here?" Mag smiled and squatted down next to the giant man, smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Really?"
