Under the dim street lights, outside the train station.

After the meeting, Lu Qi stood still and watched as the carriage in which Baltz sat gradually disappeared into the night.

Half an hour ago, Baltz, the boss of the Southwark thug gang, suddenly came to the door.

Without much politeness or pleasantries, Baltz directly revealed all of Rose's plans.

Then, the idea of ​​​​surrender came naturally.

Lu Qi was a little surprised by Baltz's intention. However, after thinking about it, he quickly understood the other party's behavior and accepted Baltz's abandonment of the dark side.

Lu Qi was not stingy with Baltz who surrendered on his own initiative.

He assured Baltz that after Southwark joined the Nighthawks, the most profitable fight club would still be managed by him.

After receiving the assurance from his future boss, Baltz left with satisfaction...

Just as Lu Qi was thinking a lot, Jacob appeared from nowhere, came to him quietly and said suddenly:

"Do you believe what he said?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qi responded casually without looking back:

"Why not? I have dealt with him. He is a shrewd man. The ability to assess the situation is an instinct flowing in his blood. Besides, even if he is just pretending to surrender and has other plans in mind, he is not capable of doing so.

.”

"After all, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and conspiracy are nothing more than imagination..."

After saying that, Lu Qi turned and left, leaving only a back figure that made Jacob think deeply...

...

No matter what Baltz was thinking in his heart, he fulfilled the promise he made to Lu Qi and publicly announced that he would leave the Thug Gang and join the Nighthawk Gang.

Baltz's voluntary surrender allowed the Nighthawks to take over the Southwark district almost without a fight.

In just one month, the Nighthawks took over three boroughs of London, Southwark and Lambeth. The influence of the Nighthawks has spread to most of London.

Judging from the territory occupied alone, the Nighthawks have replaced the Thugs and become the largest gang in London!

However, just when Jacob was eager to try and kill the thug gang in one go, Lu Qi put forward a different opinion.

Rapid expansion has brought about many problems: administrative district management, manpower absorption, and changes in living styles.

In order to digest these newly occupied territories and make the Nighthawk Gang stronger, Lu Qi chose to postpone the attack.

Haste makes waste, whoever laughs last is the real winner!

Although Jacob was a little depressed about this, he still expressed his understanding.

After all, he is not the boss of the Nighthawk Gang. At most, he is a red-flowered double stick with no power to decide gang affairs.

However, he soon found something else to do.

It was learned from Green that in addition to controlling railway transportation, Starry also purchased a bus company and planned to monopolize the entire London transportation industry.

In order to prevent this from happening, Jacob planned to talk to Starry's competitor, Pearl Adway, the owner of Adway Transportation Company, about business.

On the other side, the "quiet and beautiful girl" Evie, who concentrated on studying ancient documents, finally found the next clue that would lead them closer to the Holy Shroud...

...

The moonlight is hazy, and the gentle breeze blows on the face, making people feel relaxed.

At this moment, two vigorous figures suddenly appeared on the roof of the building.

I saw two figures, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, running freely on the roof of the building towards a certain destination.

After a fierce chase, the two figures suddenly stopped.

A slightly delighted female voice suddenly sounded:

"This time, I won again!"

"Well, losing to my dear mentor is not too ugly..."

After saying that, Lu Qi smiled slightly at Evie beside him.

Seeing Lu Qi's smile under the moonlight, Evie, who had just won the parkour victory, was startled for a moment, and then moved her eyes away unnaturally.

Lu Qi, who was on the side, did not notice Ivie's little girlishness. Instead, he took a rough look at the majestic tower in front of him and asked curiously:

"The Monument to the Great Fire of London...are you sure the Holy Shroud is here?"

After calming down the inner turmoil and trying to concentrate, Evie took a half step forward, pointed at the monument standing on the square, and said:

"Not sure, but the clues pointed to by the literature are there."

"Okay, let's get started!"

Jumping from the roof, the two came to one of London's famous landmarks, the Monument to the Great Fire of London.

The Great Fire of London, the most serious fire in London's history, occurred from September 2 to 5, 1666.

The fire spread throughout the city, and about one-sixth of the buildings in London, the largest city in Europe at the time, were burned down.

The fire burned many buildings in London, including the most famous St. Paul's Cathedral. However, as a blessing and a curse, the fire also accidentally solved the plague, a problem that was difficult to eradicate.

The reconstruction project after the Great Fire of London caused the British economy to begin to develop rapidly. Defoe, the famous British writer who wrote "Robinson Crusoe", once said that without the fire, the economy of London and even the entire British economy would not be as good as it was.

Quick recovery.

Therefore, in order to commemorate this significant fire, the British government sent architects to design and build this monumental monument.

Around the monument, the patrol officers responsible for guarding have gone home from get off work.

This is also the reason why the two of them chose to come at night.

Night is always the assassin's natural ally...

After walking around the monument, Evie soon found a carving that resembled a mechanism at the base of the monument, with a circular depression in the center of the painting.

Evie took out the small metal disc from the underground secret room of Kenway's mansion and placed it in the pit.

The next second, there was a faint sound of gears turning inside the base of the monument.

Following the procedure in the literature, Evie recovered the disc, used the rope dart launcher, and climbed to the top of the monument.

But after a while, Evie returned to the ground with a ring-shaped metal block in her hand.

Raising the object in her hand to Lu Qi, Iwei smiled slightly:

"Obviously, only assassins can unlock such a mechanism..."

Following the instructions, the two left the monument and came to St. Paul's Cathedral a few hundred meters away.

"The treasure house should be here somewhere..."

Compared with the monument, St. Paul's Cathedral, the fifth largest cathedral in the world, has a more complex terrain and tighter defense.

Avoiding the patrolling guards around them, the two used rope dart launchers to climb to the top of the main entrance of the cathedral from the side.

Evie activated her eagle vision and quickly found the location of the mechanism - on the pedestal behind the stone statue of St. Paul, there was an image with missing pieces.

Put both the disk and the ring-shaped metal block into the depression to form a complete image.
Chapter completed!
