Chapter 1124: Chapter 955: Heart-to-Heart Close Friends_2

"Black pepper steak burger meal, fish and chips, oh right, and a strawberry milk for her."

The young man pointed to the petite girl standing behind him.

The owner couldn’t help but take a second look at the two; such a pair was rare in this savage land where hardened criminals despised those who seemed fragile, relishing in the destruction of vulnerable prey.

"I want a cod fillet!"

The petite girl stared at the menu for a while before speaking, "Don’t think you can fob me off with a bottle of strawberry milk!"

"Then add another cod fillet."

With that, the young man handed over a dark substance wrapped in ink to the owner. The moment the owner saw the object, his face turned pale, and after trembling for a bit, he managed to stammer out, "Monkfish! You are not Monkfish!"

In the prison district, everyone’s ’wallet’ is unique, representing not just their wealth but also their identity.

Having the identity emblem of Monkfish in the hands of an unfamiliar youth means only one thing...

"Don’t worry, Monkfish and I are best buddies, really close friends. He knows I’ve been so broke lately I can’t even afford a meal, so he lent me some money."

The owner didn’t argue against the young man’s explanation; he just nodded, deducted the cost, and cautiously handed back the dark object to the young man.

"Drink up, let’s forget what happened just now."

After sitting down, Song Lan pushed the tray with strawberry milk towards RT6.

As he pondered the journey, he realized his meeting with RT6 was both unexpected yet reasonable.

Given RT6’s proud nature, it was entirely possible for her to say, "I’ll never deal with you again", then secretly show up to watch "Emperor" fight, and upon seeing "Emperor’s" opponent resort to underhanded tactics, decide to retaliate against Monkfish on her own.

Thus, Song Lan absolutely had to invite her for this meal.

Because when RT6 arrived, he hadn’t had time to clean up the scene properly, so describing it as ’caught red-handed’ would not be an exaggeration.

Searching for this dark object had taken a lot of his time, which gave RT6 a perfect opportunity.

But that was unavoidable; being penniless in the district, he needed a good friend for a sudden bailout to sustain himself.

"What, did you have another fight with ’Emperor’?"

"Of course not, it’s because he has too many enemies here; we had no choice but to split up."

RT6 happily sipped her strawberry milk. Although she never admitted it, she loved the sweet and sour taste, and these days in D Zone have been too hectic for her to sit down for a proper meal in a restaurant.

Although artificial intelligence doesn’t need to eat, RT6 believed that fully enjoying food like humans do would allow her to understand this group more deeply.

Indeed, it’s all in the name of science.

"It was his idea to fight in the arena; hiding isn’t a solution as he’d be found eventually. Better to face them head-on. The Judge of the arena promised him that if he could win 20 matches, he’d introduce him to the real ruler of D Zone."

"You actually believe that?"

Song Lan was astonished. By comparison, he thought his friendship with Monkfish was much more believable.

"Of course not, but if no one can beat him, eventually the Judge himself will not be able to resist stepping in. If by then, we can take down the Judge too, the real Black Hand will have to show himself. So far, everything is going according to our plan; indeed, they set up Monkfish as expected."

Mentioning Monkfish made RT6 scoff, "The second match against Monkfish is the most crucial one. Encountering a strong opponent, he always loses the first match and then adapts to their tactics and abilities. But they aren’t the only ones who can manipulate things outside the ring."

Between the first and second matches is when Monkfish is most vulnerable.

While it’s not possible to completely eliminate Monkfish, it is nothing to short-circuit his recovery using certain methods, yet RT6 could never have guessed that when she got there, it had already turned into a crime scene.

"I also wanted to ask, how did you suddenly show up?"

Wherever there’s a crime, there’s Song Lan. And she finds the so-called "Detective Physique" utterly nonsensical—it’s clearly more of a criminal physique.

"We were entrusted by someone to investigate who the real mastermind Black Hand is."

Song Lan coughed lightly, trying his best to appear serious.

Of course, he couldn’t let RT6 know that in his mind, this matter was actually ranked after eating lunch and booking a hotel—it was never his philosophy to work tirelessly; having settled himself first gave him the energy to deal with other problems.

Whenever he encountered a tricky problem, he would leave it to luck to solve.

That’s the reasoning method of a luck-based detective.

"Black Hand... No wonder you went after Monkfish."

"Don’t make it sound so ugly, we’re all buddies here. I just borrowed some money from it, not like I won’t pay it back."

Before RT6 arrived, Monkfish had threatened to send him and "Emperor" down to reunite. Facing such a heartwarming gesture, Song Lan courteously responded with "after you."

"Stop pretending, eating here was part of your plan, wasn’t it?"

RT6 had a knowing look in his eyes.

"I’m surprised you’ve already figured it out."

Song Lan had a reason for choosing this restaurant.

It was a fast food restaurant specializing in hamburgers, fish, and chips. In his view, it was very difficult to make this almost industrialized food bad.

He did not trust the culinary skills of a bunch of criminals, so a place not easy to mess up was the conclusion that an experienced detective reached after reasoning and analysis.

"Oh? They should be on their way here then."

"Yes, I just sent out the message."

By "they," Song Lan of course referred to Lu Xiang; he had sent her a message about a hamburger fast food restaurant here, and she said she and "Emperor" had already met.

"Well, nothing we can do now."

RT6 finished the strawberry milk in his glass in one gulp, "Didn’t expect your brain to be quite sharp, you know Monkfish is the favorite pet of the arena’s boss, knowing his pet has been killed he wouldn’t let it go, he’s probably furious now, and you used its identity card to make a transaction here..."

Though this act was a bit too much for drawing hatred, it was much more efficient than their original plan.

As the words were spoken, three Shadows burst through the door.

The first thing the owner did upon making eye contact with them was to point towards Song Lan and RT6’s direction. Clearly, the owner did not buy Song Lan’s claim of being friends with Monkfish and had reported to the arena immediately after they finished ordering.

Here, Song Lan couldn’t help but appreciate the owner’s prudence; he demonstrated the correct approach to take when dangerous elements appear in your establishment.

In such a situation, it was risky to passionately step forward and expose the lies of the other party.

First stabilize the other party’s emotions and let them lower their guard, then silently seek help from the Law Enforcers.

"It’s you guys, come with us right away."

The Shadows floated in front of the two, ready to fight at any moment.

No matter who the other party was, having killed Monkfish was enough to draw their attention. More support was already on the way, and the tactic of overwhelming numbers was the safest for dealing with these unknown dangers.

"Since you’ve discovered us, there’s nothing we can do."

RT6 stepped forward, "Take us to meet your boss... The champion of the King’s Gladiator Tournament, the strong champion who won with an unbeaten record, I’ve been wanting to meet him."

"You all heard her."

Song Lan crossed his arms, nodding slightly like a wise man who sees through everything, "She’s the killer, it has nothing to do with me, just take her away."
