Chapter 653 Compassion and Kindness

Shanhai City. .

As introduced before, if Xiongguan City is an important military city in the north, then Shanhai City is a commercial city in the north.

As the city with the most developed commerce in the north, there are naturally countless merchants here, big and small. To put it bluntly, a brick was thrown randomly on the street and hit ten people, at least seven or eight of whom were businessmen. However, among this huge group of merchants who are like crucian carp crossing the river, if anyone mentions the name of merchant Zachary, most people in the city will raise their thumbs to express their sincere appreciation and respect!

Such a reputation is not due to Zachary's wealth. In fact, although his net worth is high, he is not the most successful businessman in the city. But if we were to comment on the most kind-hearted rich people in the city, then the first person to mention must be Zachary!

Repairing churches, providing relief to the poor, and distributing bread and cotton-padded clothes to homeless people free of charge... Zachary was very generous in doing good deeds and never fell behind others. What's even more rare is that he has been doing this for decades without interruption. He has truly managed to reverse the bad impression that businessmen are only interested in profit with one person's efforts.

Some people even joked that if Zachary were to be on the Thieves Guild's assassination list one day, no matter how high the bounty was, no local thief would be willing to take on the task.

This is a truly good man, but now this good man is feeling a little depressed...

The closed room only has a long table and a few wooden chairs. Zachary sat at the head of the table, pinching the center of his eyebrows. His rich, red face was a little dark. He was silent for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the dozen middle-aged and elderly people on the left and right sides: "So, not only have we not been able to find each other, we can't even find each other." How many people don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl?”

"Yes, President." A middle-aged man on the left said bravely, "The closest thing was in Xiaoye City the day before yesterday. The other party shot and killed the person in charge of the branch guild with an arrow a few hundred meters away. Waiting for our people to chase After going up there, he disappeared."

After a pause, "The other party is very powerful, and their ability to disguise and hide is even more impressive. Our professional trackers here can't see any traces, and the key is...the size of the opponent's exposure is not large, and some are even single Fighting with soldiers, with such a touch-and-go assassination style, it is difficult for us to determine their identities."

Zachary held up his forehead when he heard this, his face expressionless, showing no emotion or anger: "Haha, such a big bounty hunter guild was fooled around by the other party, and I don't even know who the enemy is... Well, who can tell me? It's just humor, even though it's not funny."

The room was silent...

Speaking of which, it goes without saying that the most famous good person in Shanhai City is also the senior executive of the Bounty Hunter Guild. This is the fact. Zachary is the branch president of the guild and is responsible for managing all the affairs of the guild in the north of Bran.

Seeing that no one responded, Zachary's expression became even darker and he raised his eyelids: "Pili, you are responsible for the guild's intelligence. Now give me some information about the other party."

The middle-aged man just now looked bitter when he heard this, but he still said hesitantly: "President, according to the existing intelligence analysis, the other party should be an organization similar to ours. Their intelligence capabilities are equally powerful, and they can detect the various branches of our guilds." address. At the same time, the size of their assassination team should not be large, with no more than a hundred people. However, it is very strong, and is especially good at various assassination methods, which is unpredictable. "

After a pause, he looked at Zachary's expression carefully, "The other party's first assassination took place in Silverstone City. We have sent people there to investigate, but there has been no progress for the time being..."

"Shut up! Idiot!" There was a sudden shout, and his usually kind and loving face was a bit ferocious. Zachary's eyes flashed coldly, "I don't want to hear these nonsense, please circle the target for me now, immediately, immediately!"

"Yes, yes..." Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Pili kept nodding and said solemnly, "The only people around Silverstone City who have such intelligence capabilities are official forces, and, and..."

"Well, what else is there?" Shaking his head regretfully, Zachary stood up and walked behind Pili with a calm expression, reaching out and gently putting his hand on the latter's shoulder, "Continue."

"And... there is also the intelligence agency of the Gray Army." Pili's body trembled slightly, and dense beads of sweat continued to slide down from his temples.

Nodding, he reached out and took out the short knife from his pocket, "The Gray Army... this counts as one, what else is there?"

"And, and..." His throat kept swallowing, and although Pili couldn't see what was going on behind him, he undoubtedly realized something when he looked at the pitiful eyes of the people opposite him, and his face turned pale instantly, "And the father-in-law ...There may be internal annihilation within the guild!"

"Ha, internal annihilation... Is this your conclusion?" Zachary smiled, turning his head and frowning, "The guild has a single line of communication, and the only ones who know the addresses of so many branch guilds are us... So, you suspect that I am an internal annihilator?"

"No, no, no...it's not you, of course it's not you!"

"It's not me...well, it's you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, poof... blood splattered everywhere, and the blade of the short knife completely penetrated the skin and the back of the heart. Bang, Pi Li's eyes bulged, and he pulled the table with his hands a few times as if he wanted to get up to resist, but in the end it only left a few deep scratches, and he lay helpless and motionless.

Loosening the wooden handle of the short sword, this well-known good man in the city looked indifferent. He looked down at the blood stained on his hands. He wiped it on his leather clothes expressionlessly a few times. He turned his head and looked around, looking at the stiff bodies of the senior executives around him. He spread his hands. : "Okay, the internal killer has been eliminated. I will hand him over to the superiors later and say that we will resolve this matter as soon as possible. Do you have any opinions?"

Above... several senior executives felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this. They smelled the pungent smell of blood and no longer felt the sadness of a dead rabbit or fox, and kept shaking their heads.

"That's good." Sitting back on the wooden chair, Zachary continued to pinch his eyebrows, "Everyone, there is a lot of pressure from above. The news was almost leaked in Shanxi City before, and now it has happened again. Well, I Now I don’t want to know who the other party is, I just want to know how to quickly understand this matter... give me some suggestions!"

After a pause, an old man with white temples said hesitantly: "The main reason why we are so passive now is that we don't know what the other party's purpose is. How about...negotiating?"

"Are you kidding!" A middle-aged man immediately expressed strong objection after hearing this, "We are a bounty hunter guild! How can you not retaliate after being beaten like this and still invite the other party for peace talks?"

"Just wait until I finish..."

"The key is the pressure from above..."

…

Although there were only a few people in the room, it was still a bit confusing as everyone was talking about their own things. In fact, those who can reach their position are naturally determined people. But it has to be said that the strength of the Bounty Hunter Guild and their long-term comfortable life have worn away their ruthlessness, and they are a little hesitant and hesitant to make decisions.

Of course, the more critical thing is the "pressure from above" that they keep secret, forcing them to make a hasty decision.

"Quiet!" Zachary patted the table, frowned, and looked at the old man who proposed the negotiation, "Go on."

"My plan is very simple, invite negotiations and then see the other party's attitude. In this way, at least we can know the identity and purpose of the other party. Even if the negotiation breaks down in the end, we will not be as passive as we are now, and ...This can also give an explanation to the superiors.”

Seemingly moved by this last sentence, Zachary raised his eyebrows, pondered for a while, squinted his old eyes, and said, "You can invite negotiations, but the face of the Bounty Hunter Guild cannot be lost. Identity, purpose... I would rather After catching them, force them to come out!"

"President, you are saying..." The middle-aged man who had objected vehemently before was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately pushed his chair and stood up, "No problem, I will call the experts here. As long as they dare to show up, they will be killed without mercy. Burial place!”

Nodding, "Well, the problem now is how to pass the news to the other party, Pili, where is the other party killing now..." After speaking, Zachary turned to look at Pili, who was lying in a pool of blood, stunned. He was stunned and shook his head slightly, "Oh, poor Pili, I'm so sorry. But someone always has to bear the responsibility, and I can't help it. I hope you can return to the embrace of the God of Light..."

Eyes slightly lowered, Zachary made a prayer gesture on his chest, his expression full of sincere sadness, and he looked like a kind person...
