Chapter 256 [Pianist]
Chapter 256 [Pianist]
Lu Yun was not at all surprised when he heard Betha call out the code name that countless people were pursuing and trying to find out.
He gently stroked Bertha's delicate, rosy face with his fingers.
It looked like a pair of lovers flirting.
However, only Bertha herself understood how horrible this was.
She could clearly sense the powerful force contained in those seemingly gentle fingertips.
If she answered the next question incorrectly, this finger would easily crush her head.
"You really know my identity."
Lu Yun's eyes flashed with thought, and he asked, "Who sent you?"
Bertha twisted her body. The thick blanket wrapped around her body, coupled with the nervousness in her heart, made her forehead sweat and exhale hot air.
She glanced at him seductively and said angrily, "Mr. Lu, what you said doesn't make sense."
"I was kind enough to offer you accommodation, but now you're blaming me. I didn't ask you to stay."
"Also, it's really hot. Can you let me go first?"
"Don't worry, since you've caught me red-handed, I'll do whatever you want with me. I definitely won't resist."
As she spoke, a hint of self-pity, like that of a little girl, appeared on her charming face.
It seemed as if Lu Yun had really become unreasonable and bullied her.
Wow.
Lu Yun pulled back the quilt, turned over and sat down on a chair.
In his hand he was playing with the dagger that Betha had held earlier.
It's just an ordinary dagger, and the forging technology is very backward and the material is average.
Even scaring street thugs may not work.
Not to mention dealing with a warrior like Lu Yun who has a level 19 physique.
Betha sat up, took out a handkerchief from somewhere, and wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck, muttering in a voice that sounded like a mixture of anger and resentment, "Really? You made me sweat all over."
Lu Yun had a blank expression on his face, but he accidentally left two fingerprints on the dagger in his hand.
Bertha caught a glimpse of it from the corner of her eye, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and slowly moved her fingers down her snow-white neck.
The handkerchief also wiped the sweat from the neck bit by bit.
Suddenly.
Lu Yun suddenly moved closer and grabbed Betha's hand as she was unbuttoning her clothes.
Then he flipped the collar, which had one button undone, open.
A flicker of embarrassment flashed across Betha's eyes, but she still responded with a sweet smile, "So you like to do it yourself."
"Why didn't you say so earlier~"
Ignoring the other party's fake seduction, Lu Yun stared straight at Betha's right shoulder and collarbone.
On the snow-white skin, there is a black and white tattoo that is particularly conspicuous.
It was an open palm, with six black and white blocks in the palm, like piano keys.
"Are you from the [Pianist]?"
The fake smile on Betha's face froze and she looked at Lu Yun in astonishment.
"How do you know this name?"
"Is it difficult?"
Lu Yun released his hand, sat back, crossed his fingers on his knees, and said calmly, "I know much more than you think."
"So, no matter what you and the forces behind you mean, you can speak openly now."
"I don't have much patience."
Bertha took a deep breath and stood up: "Please wait a moment."
Done.
She left the room.
"Master, a satellite signal has been detected. Do you need to monitor it?"
"Need not."
Waiting gap.
Lu Yun was also thinking.
In fact, what he said was not a lie. He really knew a lot.
In other words, Xiao Ai knows a lot.
Although the investigation report after the Alberto incident was not made public, it was not confidential information within the families of the congressmen.
With Xiao Ai's ability, it was very easy to find out the content of the information.
But he just mentioned it briefly to Lu Yun.
Lu Yun didn't take it to heart.
After all, the many forces mentioned there have little to do with him, so he naturally won't meddle in their affairs.
What he didn't expect was that he, who thought there would be no intersection between them, would actually meet the most mysterious force so soon.
The tattoo on Bertha's collarbone is the symbol of the members of "The Pianist".
Xiao Ai recognized it the first time she saw it and told Lu Yun.
It seems that perhaps he had been targeted by this mysterious organization the moment he left the capital planet.
However, judging from the other party's current behavior, their attitude tends to be friendly.
Soon.
Bertha came back after asking for instructions.
"Sorry for the wait, Mr. Lu."
She came to Lu Yun and extended her hand again: "Let's get acquainted again, Betha, Junior Deacon of [Pianist]."
"Please believe that we have no ill will towards you. Our meeting under these circumstances is purely a coincidence."
"This is an intelligence base we've run for over a decade, and I've lived here for over a decade as well. We definitely didn't set up an ambush on you. You can ask any local about this."
Lu Yun nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"To be honest, we only learned of your identity three hours ago. And our contact with you was a temporary decision made by the organization."
"We weren't planning on having too much contact with you, but I didn't expect you to ask to stay, so I went along with it."
"Then what does this dagger mean?" Lu Yun tossed the dagger.
Betha awkwardly flicked her hair. "If I said I was just curious and wanted to test your strength, would you believe me?"
"Master, she didn't lie." Xiao Ai said quietly.
There was silence in the room.
Bertha twisted her hands together, the tension visible.
It was only when she contacted the organization just now that she truly understood how terrifying this handsome young man in front of her was.
"I'll just trust you for now."
Lu Yun returned the dagger.
Betha breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did she realize that her back had been soaked with cold sweat.
"Since you said you had no ill intentions, then the disappearance of Gray and the others has nothing to do with you?"
“Absolutely irrelevant”
Betha shook her head decisively. "I'm the highest-ranking official on the entire planet of Bowenbo. I didn't receive any operational instructions three hours ago."
Lu Yun frowned.
If they hadn't encountered the mysterious "Pianist", then with the strength of Gray and the other four, if they were determined to run, who else on this planet could stop them?
And they can't even send out a single message?
Inexplicable.
Lu Yun thought about the murders that the guests in the tavern talked about in the evening.
According to those people, the royal family of Bowenboxing mobilized a large number of top detectives and a large number of manpower to investigate the murderer.
But nothing was found.
Murders continue to occur.
Not affected at all.
"Mr. Lu."
Betha suddenly called out, "If you could provide some descriptions of your companions, I could have someone from the association investigate for you. Perhaps they could provide some clues."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Lu Yun didn't hesitate to send the three-dimensional images and basic information of Gray and the other three to Betha, then asked, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me your conditions. I'll do my best to help."
"You misunderstood."
Bertha sent the information to various departments and then said, "The association does have a business deal that they would like to discuss with you."
"But this has nothing to do with finding someone. Even if you refuse to cooperate, we will do our best to help you find clues about your companions."
