Chapter 238 Escaping the Loop
In addition to Colin, the detective's informant and the bribed traitor were also imprisoned in this private prison.In order to prevent any betrayal, the five-handed punishment must be more severe and terrifying than the official law.

So some ancient lynchings are still used today, and gradually become highly ritualized.There are a few lynchers who castrated, maimed, and even wrapped tar and ignited traitors here before pushing them down the sea cliff.In contrast, Colin being hanged here for a few days is nothing at all.For the Sincilians, lynching here is the ultimate punishment above any law, but most people believe that it is because of their existence that the Five Hands and the Sincilians have been able to survive these hundreds of years. Pure in far foreign lands.

Of course, such a place cannot be set up in a busy city.Whether it's the wailing of the maimed or the corpse of an executed body, there's too much trouble.Therefore, this private prison was set up in a remote suburb in the south. From the outside, it looked like a lonely seaside house.

From here, there is only one coastal path leading to South Stade. It was built on a steep sea cliff and was originally only used for people to inspect the lighthouse on a promontory, and almost no outsiders would pass by.So this remote path provided an excellent cover for those brutal lynchings, but now it became a natural barrier for Luca and the group.

At this time, there are still more than ten minutes before the secular police detectives arrive at the private prison, but the actions of the ninth round will of course be much faster than these ordinary people.

You can hear the sound of sea water lapping on the cliff when you walk out of the private prison, but at this moment Luca has already keenly noticed the strangeness.He quickly glanced at the wizard walking by his side, the other's face was still calm.After all, the wizard first noticed that someone was approaching, and then went into the private prison to execute Colin.

There was only one car parked outside the house, which the gang normally used to transport prisoners, food and basic supplies, but now it was impossible to take everyone present at once.Luka's expression didn't change, but he made a decision after a little struggle in his heart.With an excuse, he only chose three people with families to get into the car, and squeezed himself into the back row, while the wizard opened the door of the driver's cab without saying a word.

When the redstone engine started, there were still six people who didn't know why, and didn't know what they were going to face.The six people lived here for a long time, no matter how nice the fanatics outside said, these six people were actually sadists and executioners with blood on their hands.Although Luka would give orders to them like other patriarchs, he especially hated and even feared these people.If Colin hadn't been here, he would never have stepped into this private prison.

The wizard pulled the accelerator lever to the end, the engine whined, and the bodies of the five people in the car were pressed against the seats due to the sudden acceleration.Luca stretched out his hand hesitantly, and finally rolled down the window and shouted at the people behind.

He told the six people to run immediately, the farther away from this private prison the better.

But just as these people looked at each other and were about to escape, an iron gun-like thing suddenly shot out from the roof, nailing one of the six people to the ground alive.

The vehicle drove away quickly, turning around the tortuous corner of the sea cliff.Luca could no longer hear the screams from behind, but he could see the man being nailed to the ground.He didn't die, because the enemy shot not to kill, but to keep people alive.

The wizard glanced at the rearview mirror. There was a person lurking on the roof just now, but he was not sure to show his face and confront him head-on. That's why they were able to leave by car, but it didn't mean that the five of them had escaped danger.Luca was still staring at the rear window in a daze.The wizard said:

"You shouldn't have let him go," he said:
"It could make all the hard work go to waste."

The wizard swung the steering wheel to the left, and the vehicle drove onto a pre-paved hidden path, driving between the bushes, the chassis shook violently.

"Because it's too late." Luka said lightly:
"The police detective already knew that it was the Chestalo family. Even killing Colin at that time would not change anything."

"So, will your family be destroyed too?"

"I think Chestalo will be kept, the Grand Duke still needs it, but." Luca said in a low voice.

"However, Luca will be erased."

The wizard understood what he meant.

The five hands still maintain the stability of Stade and even all the Sindhili immigrants in the Principality.Instead of doing major surgery on the entire community, it would be better to just get rid of Luca.

"At this time, Colin in their hands has become the best successor." The wizard said:

"It's sad."

"Maybe a good thing," said Luca:

"My hometown has always felt ashamed of me, so it allowed me to go smoothly at the beginning. But also because of this, they have placed too many people in Chestalo."

"That's why you never let people in your family deal with redstone transactions." The wizard said.

Now it seems prescient.

Maybe Chestalo's members will be stripped off, but the Redstone monopoly in Lucca's hands still exists.

"I have always stubbornly felt that defeating them within the rules of my hometown is the greatest humiliation to my hometown." Luca said:

"That's why I must become the patriarch of the five hands."

When he said these words, some memories that he didn't want to touch all the year round flashed before Luca's eyes.He too was a refugee, but had left Sindili not because of the war, but because of deportation.Before leaving, he followed his mother's teachings and kissed the mottled wound left by the lynching on the corpse of his relative until his face was covered with blood, so as to warn himself to retaliate with an tooth for a tooth and blood for blood.

"But it's also because of these stubborn thoughts." Luka showed a bitter smile: "I have become no different from them."

"Colin is also from Sincili, but he became the head of the Stade organization. He is younger than me, but his eyes have long been on the entire alliance. But because of these stupid obsessions, I trapped myself in the this little Southstadt."

What he valued so much was meaningless in Colin's eyes.It is precisely because he cannot accept and understand this that he cannot trust Colin.

But when he knew that he was the lieutenant, Luca realized that he was the frog in the bottom of the well.

It turned out that before he knew it, he had become like those people in his 'hometown', only staring at the three-acre land under his feet, holding on tightly and unwilling to let go.

"If I beat them, I make myself them," Luca said:

"Then my revenge is just a meaningless cycle."

The car drove away from the hidden path with difficulty, the crude suspension was overwhelmed, and there were many branches and leaves stuck to the mottled paint.Now, there are two roads before their eyes, one leads to Stade, and the other leads to another city that has long been monopolized.The wizard cast a questioning look at Luka.

"This time, can we still escape the hunt?" Luca asked.

"As long as the ninth game hasn't invaded the narrative mechanism." The wizard thought about it casually:
"There will be no problem."

Looking at the skillful look of the other party, Luca smiled:
"In just a few months, you have changed a lot."

"each other."

Luca took a slow breath, knowing that from now on, the Chestalo family will no longer have anything to do with him, but:
"We sneaked back to Stade and continued the Redstone deal," he said.

Now this city is extremely dangerous for him, but at the same time, it has also become an unexplored pure land.

"Well, but before that." The wizard opened the car door, looked back calmly and said:

"I'll deal with the tail that's following me first."
