Lin Ye did not know why things suddenly became like this.

Ten minutes ago, they were eating breakfast in the dining room, chatting, thinking about what kind of clothes to wear tonight. Then, later they were already standing in the hotel door that belonged to someone that might harm them.

Might.

According to Lappland, she had remembered the smell of the Lupo waiter last night. She could easily find the room where the other party was staying if she wanted to.

However, just to be safe and to make sure that she did not just smell a clogged up toilet in that room, Lin Ye went to the boss of the hotel in advance. With how bad he smelt last night, he wouldn't be surprised she might mistake its smell.

He asked him if he had any Lupo residents here.

Although with how busy his business was now because of Halloween, he could barely remember that they did have Lupo guests in their hotel. He just didn't remember how they looked.

When the boss asked why Lin Ye was asking about this, he used Lappland as an excuse. Saying that she heard that her family member was in this hotel and she wanted to meet up with them.

Luckily for him, the hotel owner did not think about it too much and gave them a room number and he even guided them to the room.

So now, a group of people are standing in front of a room.

"So, what now?" Lin Ye asked them.

He really did not want to do this but with the majority of them wanting to check this, he had no choice.

Even Liz agreed with them.

"Do I just knock on the door?" He pointed at said door.

"Are you crazy?" Lappland looked at him, "They would run just by hearing you. We need to attack them when they least expect it."

"Why are we even attacking them in the first place?" Lin Ye really did not like this, "We did not even know why they did this-?"

"You always find an excuse," Lappland said.

Lin Ye didn't finish what he said and saw Lappland take out her swords. He suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Hey, stupid wolf, don't you dare-."

He was right. He did not even need to finish his sentence to know this.

I hate when I am right about bad things.

Lapland had already swung her sword.

With a clean slash, the door of the room was divided into four pieces.

Lin Ye looked at this dumbfoundedly.

"Why not open the door like this?" Lappland said then stared at Lin Ye, "Also, did you call me a stupid wolf again?"

Lin Ye shook his head, "What? Of course not. You're just hearing things."

He had enough bite marks for this day. Thank you very much.

Lin Ye looked at the damaged door in front of him and the corner of his mouth twitched again.

They had not yet determined whether the person living in this room was an enemy or not and they had already used this method to break in.

What should I do? And the most important question is, do I need to pay for this? I have too, right? Of course, I do. Who am I kidding?

Lin Ye sighed at this thought. Then he realized something. While Skadi and Lappland were focusing on what was happening now, he was more focused on the money that he needed to pay for them.

What was he? Their parents?

Skadi and Lappland didn't give Lin Ye too much opportunity to think about this. They rushed into the room immediately. They brought out both of their weapons when they went on.

His little dragon, Ifrit, also looked eager to go. She ignited a flame in her palm and wanted to go in with Skadi and Lappland.

However, before she could even move Lin Ye put his hand on her head to stop her.

"Don't."

Ifrit glared at Lin Ye, "Hey! What are you doing?!"

"The two of them are enough," Lin Ye sighed.

He really wanted to say that if she also went in, the more damage she would cause. This will make him pay more. He did not have an endless string of money like Jessica, Swire and the SilverAsh family had. So, he will try to at least lessen the damage that they will cause at this hotel.

He was grateful that at least Liz was well behaving now. He did not have to deal with too much trouble. She just stood by him. She looked like she was trying to protect him from something.

This was an endearing sight for Lin Ye. Lin Ye then slowly raised his other hand and place it on her head. She didn't know why he was doing this but Liz still looked like she was enjoying it.

Now there were two devils in both of his hands.

What has my life become?

Even when he thought this, Lin Ye let out a small smile.

After a while, Skadi walked out of the room.

Skadi carried her sword on her back.

Skadi then said calmly to Lin Ye, "The man had escaped."

"Really?" Lin Ye was surprised. "How is this possible? Did they know we were coming?"

"You go in and take a look," Skadi turned her body sideways, "They didn't have time to take everything away with them."

Lin Ye also wanted to go in and see. After all, Skadi and Lappland had already smashed the other person. With such a big move, if he didn't know what was going on, he sacrificed that his money was all for nothing then.

So, he walked in immediately, and then saw Lappland. She was standing in the middle of the room. She was holding something in her hand and carefully looking at it.

Lin Ye looked around the room.

This room was quite bigger than the room that he and the other shared. However, there was no one in it.

However, judging from the unmade bed, the cigarette butts on the table, and the smell of sweat in the room, they were people living here before.

But the question was, where were they now?

It's still early in the morning. Where did the people go? If they really had escaped, as Skadi said, then how did the people here know that they would come here?

"Hey, quack doctor." Lappland called him out, "Catch."

When Lin Ye was busy thinking, Lappland suddenly turned over to him and then threw the thing in her hand to Lin Ye. He caught it without any trouble.

"Look at this." She told him.

Lin Ye discovered that the thing that Lappland had thrown at him was a badge with quite a strange design on it.

"What's this?" Lin Ye asked.

Lappland looked at him, "This is a badge of a Mafia group."

"Mafia?" Lin Ye was very surprised, "Are they Reunion?"

Lin Ye thought of the Reunion Movement for the first time for a long time.

No way they could be involved in this. He had been in contact with this organization several times in his past, and each time was not a pleasant experience for him.

They almost kill him.

For example, last time the guy named Mephisto almost made him meet up with his creator again.

Even though Lin Ye was the one that tortured him, he was still quite afraid of him. He could easily go on and have his revenge on him at any time.

So now, as long as you mention the Mafia, or people or any forces who wanted to kill him, Lin Ye would instantly think that Mephisto and the Reunion movement was the one behind all of this.

Was this his room? Did Lin Ye just sleep in the same hotel as someone that wanted to end his life? Mephisto could easily cut his throat out when he went to sleep.

Lin Ye felt a slight chill crawling on his back by just thinking about this. He was lucky that he slept near Skadi last night. If something really did happen, Skadi could easily dealt with it.

"Reunion?" Lappland tilted her head, "What's that? Oh! Are they the people we met when we went to the snowy mountains last time?"

"Yes." Lin Ye nodded at this.

"Nah, this Mafia is from Siracusa."

"Siracusa?"

When he heard that it was not them, Lin Ye was slightly relieved, but he was a little confused now.

"But why did the people of Siracusa come to us? Neither I nor you know them, right?" He raised a brow at this, "Do they have a grudge on you?"

"Who said that?" She bared her teeth at him, "Talking about grudges. Every day you keep on calling me stupid wolf! Don't pretend that I did not notice it!"

"Ahem. That's just a joke," Lin Ye looked away from her, "Seriously, do you know which mafia they are from?"

Lappland shook her head.

"I don't know, there are too many mafias in Siracusa. How could I remember all of them?" She huffed, "In our place, as long as there are one or two people and they have a weapon, they can call themselves a mafia group."

"That easy?" Lin Ye was a little speechless by this, "Really?"

"Siracusa is just like that," Lappland said frankly, "But there are only two or three that really got on the table and the main family branch of the Siracusa Mafia. They are the kind of Mafia family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and their strength is terrifying. However, those old guys rarely leave Siracusa. Most of the people who leave Siracusa fail to survive there because of how hard it is there. People who have left their hometowns. It's obviously a very serious topic. However, most of the Lupo who left Siracusa are because they can't survive there."

Lin Ye wanted to ask Lappland more about Siracusa. However, he thought that this topic was too personal for her. So, even if he was really interested in Siracusa, he held his tongue and focused on his current situation.

"Then, about the Siracusa mafia who came to me," He asked, "Are they the kind of powerful mafia?"

Lappland shook her head, "I don't have any idea. That means that they are not that noteworthy for me to remember. That means that they are quiet. I even can say that they should be weaker than the Reunion that we met before."

Lin Ye was relieved by this, "That's good,"

But Lappland was not finished.

"They just kill people and do arson."

"Oh, I see... They do what now?" Lin Ye ran his hand through his head.

"Nothing much," Lappland said lightly, "If you really understand what Siracusa is, those acts mean nothing."

This made Lin Ye feel a little speechless.

Murder and arson were nothing? So, what was something? What did Siracusa look like?

Lin Ye really wanted to know, but he also knew that there were some things that he should not know for his own good.

"The Mafia of Siracusa?" Ifrit looked at the medal in Lin Ye's hand and tilted her head, "That sounds so cool."

Lin Ye lightly knocked on Ifrit her,

"Hey!"

"Why are you even saying that?"

"Why can she say that and I can't?" She pointed at Lappland.

She has some screw losses in her head. Are you like her?

Lin Ye wanted to say this very much but for the sake of his own safety, he endured it.

"Why are you being targeted by the Siracusa's Mafia?" Liz also asked him, she was somewhat puzzled, "Shining also told me about them. They are a very dangerous group."

"The people that are driven out from Siracusa are no longer dangerous," Lappland explained, "But why are they looking for you, quack doctor? Although they are a very weak Mafia, they are still from my race. As long as they have a goal, they won't give up that easily."

Lin Ye couldn't figure it out. He felt that the only person in the world who had hatred against him should be Mephisto.

Could it be that he hired the Mafia to track him out?

Based on Lin Ye's understanding of the type of person Mephisto was, If he wanted revenge, he would definitely do it by himself. He would never use this type of method to get his revenge.

Moreover, according to Lappland's description, these mafia were expelled from Siracusa should not be comparable to the Reunion movement.

Then Mephisto was even more unreasonable to ask the Mafia to help him.

So, why was this happening?

Is Mephisto even in this problem?

Lin Ye felt that he was about to suffer from this Mephistophobia.

No matter what it was, as long as something bad happened to him, his only thought was the only person that would cause him this was Mephisto.

Probably also because Mephisto left him with a deep impression.

At this time, Skadi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, walked around the room two times and walked to Lin Ye's side.

"I also found something," Skadi called him, "Would you like to take a look too?"

"Huh?" He woke himself up, "Okay. What is it?"

Skadi handed Lin Ye an envelope.

"What is this?" Lin Ye looked at it.

After looking at it for a while he asked Skadi, "This was left by the Mafia?"

Skadi nodded.

Lin Ye opened the envelope and took out a photo from it.

The picture showed a beautiful girl with black eyes.

Lin Ye looked at it and found that there were a few words written on it with an oil-based pen at the bottom of it.

Yuki Kurotsuki

Lappland leaned over and glanced at it. She then said, "She looks like an Oni from the Eastern Country."

"An Oni from the Eastern Country?" Lin Ye was a little confused. "Why is this photo here?"

"It's not just a photo." Skadi said, "I have seen her before."

Lin Ye was surprised by this.

"Have you seen her? Where?"

"It's in this hotel," Skadi said softly, "She lived on the same floor as us "

Lin Ye was even more surprised.

"So, we are going to her then?" Lappland said, "Is this woman also a member of the Mafia?"

"We will know soon," Skadi said. She turned and was about to leave, "I still remember her room, I will go to her now. If she is really a member of the Mafia, it would not be easy to handle her. It just so happened that this person gave me a very uncomfortable feeling yesterday."
