Chapter 535: Chapter 418 Grey Green and Gold Coin_2 Chapter 535: Chapter 418 Grey Green and Gold Coin_2 If an assassin couldn’t even assassinate an opponent of the same level, they would essentially be mostly useless.
And Miss Grey Green was the exact opposite.
Her profession within this system didn’t emphasize stealth abilities but rather specialized in particularly strong burst damage.
Instead of calling her an assassin, it would be more accurate to say she was an agile-type warrior with strong mobility and temporary invisibility abilities, inherently converting physical damage to poison damage.
“Miss Grey Green” had many identities.
Her main responsibility was to handle the Lohar Society’s gray-area businesses, such as debt collection, mediating disputes between gangs, and besides that, running casinos and nightclubs.
Beyond that, she was also a street vendor selling sheep offal soup.
When players were not in a “well-fed” state after eating, they could get a free bowl of sheep offal soup from “Grey Green” once a day after speaking with her.
Though the attributes were average, as long as one had eaten, there would be a slight “Extraordinary Skill experience bonus.”
For early-stage players who were reluctant to spend money on food buffs, this kind-hearted Anonymous elderly lady was a great help.
Aiwass hadn’t experienced that era personally but had read similar statements on forums—after players followed the plot to open up casinos and nightclubs, they noticed that the person behind each establishment looked just like the auntie who sold sheep offal soup…
Players thought the No-Face God Studio was just too lazy to create different models.
Although there were jokes among players that all the businesses belonged to the auntie, or “it’s an army of the sheep offal auntie’s clones,” nobody took it seriously.
—And yet, it turned out to actually be her.
In some sense, she was also related to the death of Lily’s mother.
But Aiwass had long told Lily exactly who was responsible, and Lily had always been clear about her gratitude and grudges.
“Assassins are merely the weapons of their employers.
It was my father’s intent to kill that truly took Mom’s life.
Even without ‘Grey Green,’ a rusty grey-green knife would have taken her life,” Lily had said.
That was Lily’s attitude toward Miss Grey Green.
Being an assassin and also of the Path of Adaptation, she could understand Grey Green.
Perhaps it was also because she saw herself as a tool of Aiwass.
For this reason, when the Lohar Society was being liquidated later, Aiwass didn’t bother with Grey Green.
If Lily, the concerned party, explicitly stated she didn’t want to take revenge on Grey Green, then Aiwass wouldn’t go out of his way to do so.
After all, Grey Green genuinely wanted to manage the gangs in Lohar District well.
If Grey Green were also imprisoned, the headless Lohar District would plunge into chaos.
Rather than supporting a new proxy later, it would be better to just use Grey Green.
And Lily did indeed lack professional guidance as a qualified assassin…
and Miss Grey Green just so happened to be the career mentor for the 1.0 version assassin profession.
Although Lily would probably switch to the Shadow Assassin class, learning close-combat techniques was always beneficial.
Grey Green coming forth at this time was almost exactly what Aiwass desired.@@novelbin@@
He even knew her purpose without her having to speak.
“You want me to help you consolidate the Lohar Society?” Aiwass asked.
This was the “Grey Green” lady’s obsession within the game.
Now that Tommy had died and Boka had been imprisoned, their factions had been scrutinized.
The only surviving faction within the Lohar Society was that of Miss Grey Green.
“No,” Grey Green shook her head in denial, “I hope…
you might take over the Lohar Society.”
She spoke earnestly.
This did surprise Aiwass somewhat: “I thought you’d been waiting for this day for a long time.”
Unlike Tommy Lohar, who had plotted against Isabel and attempted usurpation, and not like Vice Chairman Boka, who was entangled with Noble Red,
“Grey Green” was very pure, working hard solely for the sake of Lohar Society’s gangs—extremely pure.
She didn’t care about Noble Red, Crown Prince Lohar, any spies or the invasion of Star Antimony people…
This illiterate gang mama who hadn’t been to school, was simply, very purely, aspiring to unify the underworld gangs of Glass Island and bring new order to the underworld.
“You…
you could even discern this?”
Grey Green looked at Aiwass with some reverence: “I had already heard that Minister Moriarty possessed demonlike, wicked Wisdom…
Ah, sorry.
This is how it’s acclaimed in the Avalon underworld…
it’s a compliment.”
Her words were true.
As an “Adapter,” she was quite adept at the art of Silence.
The powers and secrets of the Path of Adaptation were related to secrecy, and she had never told anyone these deepest secrets.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Aiwass said slowly, “You wish Lohar District could be less chaotic, not everywhere covered in blood and sin.
You want to sort out Lohar District.
But at the same time, you don’t want those gang members, who have pretty much all committed crimes and lack skills, to die or lose their jobs.
Because you grew up here.
Those ‘good citizens’ from Lohar Society’s streets and alleys, who have more or less stained their hands with some crimes, are your uncles and elders.
They are also the neighbors who watched you grow up.
You just want to protect Lohar Society.
Or to put it more narrowly, just Lohar District, right?”
Aiwass spoke softly.
And Grey Green almost looked at Aiwass in horror.
Admiration bordering on fealty shone in her eyes: “Yes…
You’re right.”
Grey Green certainly wasn’t a good person.
But at least she wasn’t mad; she could sit down and discuss cooperation.
What do you think?
