Joseph finally followed them all the way, crossed the alley and went across the street. He saw the treasure appraiser embrace the demon into the hotel room and then close the door.
The moment the door closed with a "click", an invisible barrier spread out along the crack in the wall, isolating the inside and outside of the room. Although Joseph intended to hit the target with one strike, he still made arrangements in advance to prevent any noise from the fight.
In the room, the treasure appraiser pushed the demon onto the bed and began to unbuckle her belt impatiently.
"Sir, please don't..." The demon beneath him seemed to be pushing him away reluctantly, but at the same time, she hugged him tighter. Her fox tail nervously swept across the bed sheet, and suddenly wrapped around the treasure appraiser, allowing him to sink into the bed.
"gentlemen---"
"Shh."
His breathing suddenly became heavy, and the treasure appraiser raised his hand and pinched his waist, causing the demon to scream in surprise. The night wind blew open the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, unable to conceal the movements of the man and the demon in the room. The demon's eyes were filled with panic, and it looked out the window nervously.
However, the treasure appraiser covered his eyes with his hands, not allowing him to look around.
A shadow flashed quietly in the darkness and stabbed the appraiser's back with a sharp blade.
With a "bang", the sharp blade was knocked away, and Joseph, who was hiding in the shadow, was thrown against the wall by a powerful rebound force and groaned.
He fell so hard that his eyes were full of stars. Before he could react, the treasure appraiser who had stood up grabbed his throat. Joseph suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the treasure appraiser, picking up the hand that was pinching his throat.
Broken, trap.
How come this guy was prepared in advance and even cast a talisman on himself to rebound damage.
This shock shocked Joseph badly. He felt pain running down his spine. He kicked the ground, trying to struggle to break free.
"Jiang---Li---" The treasure appraiser looked him up and down and pronounced his name, then smiled deeply, "I knew it was you. You are the most difficult to tame among the four or five hundred demons. When the incident at the villa happened, the demons disappeared without a trace. It turns out that you are working for the black market."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the demon on the bed wanted to get up and run, but the next moment the treasure appraiser threw a magic weapon at her and trapped her on the bed.
"Is this your helper?" The treasure appraiser sneered and turned his head away with disdain. "The cabinet had long expected that the troublemaker would come back, and this play was rehearsed specifically for you."
Joseph's pupils shrank. He didn't expect this to be a setup. He was confident that the treasure appraiser was addicted to alcohol and s3x and had no defenses. He didn't notice anything unusual. But in fact, everything was wrong since the beginning of the bar.
Joseph clenched his fingers weakly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to use the power of life connection to bestow blessings.
"What resistance do you want to offer?" the treasure appraiser laughed.
He did not answer, but just closed his eyes. The blessings he could bestow on himself were far greater than those he could bestow on others. A thin layer of green light was faintly covered on his body, and he began to double his arm strength.
The treasure appraiser noticed something unusual, his face changed slightly, and he was about to break his neck.
The next moment, Joseph grabbed the appraiser's fingers and twisted them apart fiercely. With a scream, he kicked the wall and turned over neatly, and kicked the appraiser's head with a quick, accurate and fierce spinning kick.
With a loud "bang", the treasure appraiser screamed suddenly and was kicked hard against the corner of the bed, and a protective magic weapon on his body was immediately broken.
"Joseph! How dare you---"
"How dare you say that? I've already kicked the ball. I didn't play this seriously even when I was in the guild before." Joseph wiped his nose after landing on the ground, then raised his head proudly.
It seems that this old guy only has one rebound spell, which is good for the protective magic weapon to block the damage. He took advantage of the situation to smash the magic weapon used for confinement with a punch, pulled up the demon on the bed, and said, "Jump out the window and leave. You don't have to stay to help me."
"how about you?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Joseph reached down into his crotch and pulled out Daniel's magic weapon directly from his thigh. The next moment, the treasure appraiser swung his whip, and he raised his hand to block it with the silver chain.
The silver chain emitted a cold light, quickly wrapped around the whip, and destroyed it layer by layer.
"It works quite well." Joseph was amused and sneered.
"The black market owner's life weapon... What is your relationship with the black market owner?" The treasure appraiser's face changed, looking at the whip that was broken into several pieces on the ground, "Are you his demon pet?"
"Bah, I said that guy was my servant." Joseph cursed.
The next moment, the silver chain was automatically pulled back and tapped him on the head lightly.
"It hurts, what are you doing?!" Joseph covered his head and glared at Yin Lian.
When the treasure appraiser saw this monster and the chain, his face changed. He turned around and was about to jump out of the window to run, but suddenly the silver chain caught his ankle and dragged him over.
Joseph seized the opportunity and jumped up, exerting several tons of leg strength and stomped hard on the appraiser's back.
There was another sharp scream.
"Tell me, was it you who planted the Enchantress Ivy on me?" Joseph pulled the treasure appraiser's hair and patted his face. "It was you who planted something on me last month. dmn it, if Daniel hadn't said it was the Enchantress I wouldn't have known it."
"What kind of monster are you---"
"I'm asking you a question." Joseph patted his face hard again, and licked his lips excitedly after smelling the blood. "Do you know what other powerful space magic tools there are in the Appraisal Pavilion? If you can tell me, I can spare your life."
"What, what spatial magic weapon do you want?" The treasure appraiser panted. He didn't expect Joseph to be so strong. He wanted to struggle but Joseph stepped on him very firmly. In the end, he could only clench his fingers painfully. "Wait, loosen your grip a little. I suddenly thought of something..."
Joseph raised his eyebrows, but still did not let go of his feet.
"How about this... lower your head and I'll tell you." The appraiser couldn't bear the pain and narrowed his eyes.
Joseph sneered. "Why, this treasure can't be seen by others? There are only two of us in this room, why should we bow our heads and speak?"
"This magic weapon is too powerful. Everyone in our pavilion has been put under a seal, so they can't speak out." The treasure appraiser said breathlessly, "Help me break the seal first."
Joseph was half-believing it. He loosened his feet and lowered his head to look for traces of the talisman. Suddenly, the treasure appraiser raised his head again and spit out a needle at him.
"Grass!"
He was pushed away and the treasure appraiser took advantage of this gap to jump off the building.
The silver chain resting nearby flew out quickly, trying to stop the man. Joseph endured the pain and flew out, slapping the treasure appraiser hard at the moment he jumped out of the window.
With a "bang", the treasure appraiser who was hit fell straight to the bottom of the hotel and lay motionless.
Joseph breathed a sigh of relief, looked out the window for a long time before looking away, and quickly closed the curtains to avoid being seen. He stretched out his hand, and the silver chain automatically wrapped around his wrist, becoming an exquisite bracelet.
He looked at her with disdain. "You are not just good at sticking to legs."
The silver chain didn't respond, and Joseph then remembered the needle that the treasure appraiser had spit out. He looked down and dodged quickly, but his shoulder was still scratched by the needle. Some blood oozed from his eyes, with a strange rose-red color.
Is it poison?
He moved his limbs and didn't feel anything unusual. He thought that the dosage of poison was probably not enough. Remembering what Daniel had told him, Joseph squatted down, picked up some of the treasure appraiser's blood from the ground, and left a line of words on the wall.
"The murderers are the black market."
"Hey, it's time to call it a day." Joseph looked at the six crooked words on the wall with great satisfaction. He clapped his hands and walked out of the room.
Tomorrow when the people from the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion come to investigate the cause of death they will find this line of words. He has successfully completed what Daniel had asked him to do.
His back hit the wall, causing a dull pain in his shoulder, but Joseph didn't take it too seriously. He shook his shoulders, covered his silver hair, and went straight to the nearest teleportation point, and then walked towards Daniel's black market branch.
"Boss, how are you?" The previous demon sent a message.
"Well, it's solved. Thank you for this today," Joseph moved his fingers and replied in his mind. He rescued this demon from the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. After knowing that he was going to kill the treasure appraiser today, he said he must help. In the end, he almost caused the appraiser to be bullied again. "Tell the people in the guild that I am safe and don't let them worry."
"Okay, okay." The demon on the other end seemed to have just breathed a sigh of relief and fell silent.
Joseph cut off the communication. It was dark now, and they still had to walk a remote and deserted road from the teleportation point to the black market. The wound on his shoulder was itchy, and after he scratched it a few times, it still hurt. He wondered whether he should send Daniel a message saying that the mission was completed. After thinking about it, Daniel would definitely think he was noisy, so it would be the same if he waited until he returned to the black market.
But after walking for a while, he vaguely felt something was wrong. He touched his forehead and it seemed to be a little hot, and the path in front of him became hazy.
Joseph frowned slightly, finally realized something was wrong, and stopped.
"dmn it, I'm not really poisoned."
Everything in front of him started to float. Joseph shook his head, and a pair of cat ears popped out uncontrollably. In a trance, it seemed as if a big hand touched his spine, the fingertips were rough and cold, causing his pupils to shrink.
"An illusion? No, it's not an illusion."
Everything around changed in an instant, turning into a dark and familiar room. There were no windows in the room, and not a single light could come through. There was only a half-burnt candle on the blackened table, which was about to go out, emitting a dim light.
Joseph turned around hastily, and saw the same scene everywhere. His memory went back to the long-forgotten past. He stood on the path, and his body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably. In his vision and feeling, his limbs were bound by iron chains, and the surroundings were cold and damp. In his blurred vision, he saw a tall figure holding a knife, slowly approaching him.
"No, no... no way."
Joseph felt his body was frozen, completely unable to move. It was clear that he was being pressed down on the bench. But this happened many years ago. How could it suddenly...
With a "pop", he felt the flesh on his spine being slowly cut by a blunt knife. He tugged at the chains and screamed frantically, but he seemed to have drunk a mute drug and could not utter a single sound. In the dim light, there were only hoarse struggles and cries for help that sounded like a breath, making hoarse sounds.
The blunt knife cut through the flesh along his spine, and severe pain came over him. He felt as if the big hand had grasped his spine and was pulling it hard.
"ah---"
ยท
Suddenly, it was as if someone was hugging him, and the familiar body temperature pulled him back to consciousness. He shrank his body in pain and hid tightly in the person's arms, his hands and feet still trembling.
At this moment, at the gate of the Lu family, Daniel frowned and half-knelt down to look at the wild cat in his arms.
"What's going on?" he asked Silver Chain.
The silver chain shook its head innocently, then as if it had thought of something, it tapped the wound on Joseph's shoulder.
The other end of the chain was still around Joseph's wrist. The silver chain swayed a few times, indicating that Joseph had fainted halfway, and she dragged him by the hand, like a dead body, all the way back to the door of her home.
"Got it. You're awesome."
The silver chain that was praised suddenly perked up and slipped into Daniel's sleeve.
Daniel didn't expect that his natal magic weapon and Joseph would have such a high affinity. After thinking for a moment, he picked up Joseph and walked towards the room.
There seemed to be some nightmare-inducing poison left in the wound. It should have been the treasure appraiser's way of saving his life and escaping. Now the poison has merged into the blood, making it difficult to detoxify.
"Tell them to put a tub of warm water in it, and no one is to disturb them tonight."
The servant left after hearing this. Daniel carried Joseph upstairs. As soon as he entered the room, he felt the cat's tail coming out of his arms. It felt wet for some reason. Daniel reached under his robe and felt the cat's butt0cks. Sure enough, they felt hot. The base of the tail was the wettest. He didn't know what it had touched, but it looked like it was really on fire.
"cold..."
Joseph closed his eyes tightly, but still unconsciously moved closer to him. He looked at Joseph's face again. This wild cat had a fever and his face turned red, but he was still crying out for cold.
"Cold---" Joseph shouted again tremblingly.
"Shut up." Daniel shouted coldly, but he didn't expect Joseph to stop shouting and no longer try to get into his arms. He just closed his eyes tightly with an expression of extreme pain.
Daniel took a deep breath, as if he remembered something old. He finally unbuttoned his shirt, walked to the bed, and pulled up the quilt.
In a daze, Joseph felt something hot close to him. His whole body was wrapped in heat. He couldn't help but press his cheek against it and hugged the person tightly with his hands and legs.
It doesn't seem so cold anymore.
At this moment, on the big bed, Daniel rested his head with one hand, letting Joseph hug him tighter and tighter.
The black robe and shirt he had taken off were thrown casually on the carpet, and his wet tail was hanging on his exposed butt0cks.
Daniel thought of Joseph's cold cries while struggling, and the familiar feeling when he cried out, which made Daniel's memory a little hazy.
Joseph rubbed it subconsciously again, interrupting his memories, and Daniel raised his hand and slapped his but.t without any hesitation.
"Don't move."
