He held a blood-stained spiked mace, with viscous blood slowly dripping from the spiked iron ball. Durin stepped on Daisy's chest, looking down at her with a cold expression.
Daisy, covered in blood, weakly pleaded, "Don't kill me… Please! As long as you can… cough cough, spare me… I'll do anything… I know a lot of information…"
As she spoke, she occasionally coughed up a pool of crimson blood from her throat, splashing onto Durin's trousers.
"How many days have you been in Piltover?"
"Less than two days…"
Durin's foot on the woman's chest involuntarily pressed harder, and he sternly questioned, "How did you find me, or rather, who told you I live nearby?"
"Cough cough!"
Daisy felt the pressure on her chest and couldn't help but cough hard, then quickly replied, "Lord Silco has an informant in the Piltover police station. He told me your whereabouts."
Hearing this, Durin instantly understood.
An informant in the Piltover police station referred to the bribed Enforcer named Marcus, who would become a sheriff in the near future.
But then, a piercing siren blared from the sky not far away, followed by the loud grinding sounds of machinery.
At the same time, the footsteps of patrolling Enforcers also began to sound. Durin realized he could not stay there any longer. Otherwise, he would be arrested on the spot by the Enforcers and identified as the crazy murderer responsible for the recent series of criminal cases.
So, he swung his spiked mace, expressionlessly striking the woman's head with great force.
Bang!
The next moment, her skull shattered.
The powerful impact directly smashed her head into a bloody mess, ending Daisy's life.
[One-Handed Weapon + 2, Current Proficiency: 90 / 100]
[Running + 2, Current Proficiency: 65 / 75]
This was his final result after eliminating the Mage Apprentice Petyr and the female warrior Daisy.
"Hoo~"
Durin exhaled a murky breath from his chest. A satisfying battle had ended. In a one-on-three situation, the final outcome was that he survived!
Moreover, he killed three enemies at the lowest cost. Now, he needed to quickly loot the spoils of war and then immediately leave the scene via a shortcut.
After Durin left, three Enforcers patrolled to the area. When they saw the tragic scene illuminated by the incandescent lights, their expressions instantly changed. They cautiously raised their rifled shotguns, standing back-to-back, alert to their surroundings.
At the same time, they pulled out flares from their pockets, signaling nearby colleagues to come for support.
Durin was unaware of all this. Fortunately, there was no one left on the street, and the Enforcers had been drawn away, so the bloodstains on his Mage Apprentice Robe would not be noticed.
About half an hour later, he returned to the house at 45 Vocal Avenue, pushed open the dark gate, and walked directly into a spacious corridor, using his key to open the first room on the left.
The first thing Durin did upon returning home was to turn on the light switch, making the dark room bright. Then he hastily took off his Mage Apprentice Robe, threw it into a bucket in the washroom, turned on the faucet, and began to soak it.
He then thoroughly washed away the grime from his body, whether it was ashes from the burning or bloodstains, washing it all away. The cold water rinse gradually calmed Durin's mind, and he began to ponder.
In fact, there were currently three very serious problems before him.
The first problem: Since Singed and his people already knew his residence, was it necessary for him to move again?
The second problem: He still couldn't determine what attitude Singed and Silco had towards him, and what attitude he should respond with.
The third problem: What should he do next?
Even after showering, Durin was still pondering these three questions. He poured a glass of ice water and sat by the window, gazing at the night view of this unfamiliar city.
The lights of Piltover, the City of Progress, had been lit. Concrete and steel were painted with various lights, forming an art piece with a strong industrial texture.
Perhaps the first question already had an answer: regardless of Singed and Silco's attitudes, he couldn't move.
Firstly, Silco had an informant in the police station. Unless Durin chose to go into hiding, no matter where he moved, his whereabouts would easily be exposed. Secondly, moving would signify cowardice, and if he showed fear, these two would cling to him like vipers and bite him hard.
So he couldn't be timid. He had to continue doing what he had planned to do before.
After all, this was Piltover, not Zaun, where Silco could do whatever he wanted.
Meet force with force, and water with earth.
