Chapter 359

Lite sat down next to Orson with his own tableware. As if he was worried that Orson and Olivia would misunderstand, Lite deliberately sat farther away from Orson.

It was probably only one centimeter further away than when he was at home, but in Li Te's view, this was already a huge concession to Olivia.

"Haha, it seems that Li Te is still very attached to his brother." Olivia said with a smile.

"Of course, after all, Orson is the only one who has always been the best to me~" Lite did not deny it, but nodded proudly.

"Isn't it normal for brothers to sit together?"

"That's true." Olivia admitted after hearing this. "They are brothers after all."

Liteuk was not a fool, so of course he could understand the meaning of the latter sentence.

Obviously, Olivia wanted to make Leeteuk quit.

Li Teuk smiled and said nothing.

I've been quite busy these days. When I'm done, I won't be as happy as Olivia!

As he said this, Lite secretly glanced at Olivia, and Olivia gave him an indifferent look in return.

Lianka looked at the two people, although she also wanted to

Interjected, but at this moment I don’t know why, but I feel that silence is the best way.

Really, I haven't seen any conflict between my sister and Li Teuk. Why do I always feel that there is a smell of gunpowder when these two talk today.

Orson on the side was eating silently.

Silence is the best way to deal with these problems.

…

Two days later, it was the agreed date to meet.

At daybreak, Mudrick woke up.

In the past two days, he had not slept well at the mercenary group station.

Yesterday we simply moved to a hotel.

After all, it always felt strange to sleep alone in a large, empty room. Mudrick was always worried that someone would sneak into the room in the middle of the night and kill him.

Although seventh-level experts basically don't have to worry about being assassinated in their sleep, because their bodies have an early warning mechanism that will send themselves signals to wake them up when they encounter danger.

But what if the opponent releases a high-level paralysis potion?

Of course, if the opponent can really get the potion that paralyzes the seventh-level powerhouse, he will lose sooner or later.

Anyway, in this business, if you get money in the morning, you will die at night, and Mudrick has been mentally prepared.

After arranging his clothes, Mudrick looked in the mirror again to make sure everything was correct, then walked out of the hotel and came to the city gate.

Turning back and taking one last look at the city of Saint Laurent, Mudrick walked out.

He has to give an account to his brothers, and he also has to give an account to himself.

When he arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the city, as expected, he saw a man standing on the roadside waiting for him from a long distance away. The man saw Mudrick coming and bowed to him.

"Captain Mudrick, come with me." With that said, he turned his head and exposed his back to Mudrick without caring, just leading the way.

Mudrick frowned, not knowing what his opponent was thinking, but in this situation, he could only take one step at a time.

He followed the other person into the depths of the woods, and then saw a familiar figure in a clearing in the woods.

Li Te, Virgil, and several members of the Iron Wolf mercenary group who were tied up behind them.

"Captain Mudrik, long time no see." Li Te said, showing a smile.

It was as if she had forgotten that Mudrick had humiliated her with words a few days ago.

"It's been a long time indeed. I've been missing you a lot these days, Mr. Li Te." Mudrick said this and licked his lips, making Li Te feel sick.

But considering that this was a negotiation, Li Teuk still suppressed his inner discomfort and said: "Captain Mudrick, although we have had a lot of unpleasantness before, I still hope that we can turn our hostility into friendship."

"I know that as mercenaries, the most important thing for you has always been money. Doing things for others is just temporary payment. You are not wrong in the first place." Li Te said.

"But because you overestimated your strength this time and failed to complete this commission, you provoked us." Li Te said, looking at Mudrick. "I want you to tell me who ordered you to do this."

"In this way, I can let your men go and compensate you a sum of money. From now on, all the bad things between us will be wiped out."

"But you are not sincere enough." Mudrick noticed the problem with sharp eyes. "I don't have as many men as you have now, right?"

"In order to prevent you from taking them all away by force directly here, I deliberately only brought some out." Lite explained.

After all, she couldn't say: "Your brothers did bad things and were all brought to justice by the doctor." Right?

What's the point of talking about it? Just start fighting and be done with it.

"Okay, then you are more alert." Mudrick heard this and didn't say anything. He just nodded and accepted the statement.

"However, you should also know that mercenaries never care about the identity of their employer, they only care about the money in their hands."

"Besides, do you think the person who handled this matter would care about spending more money to hire an agent to assign tasks?" Mudrick sneered and looked at Li Te.

"...So, there's just no need to talk?" Lite said in a suppressed voice after hearing this.

"It's not that we can't talk about it, it's that we can't talk about it at all." Mudrick shook his head. "For this mission, the client is an intermediary agent. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

"Need not

. "Li Te shook his head. "But since the other party is willing to come to you, they must believe in your strength, right? "

"Your previous cooperation was not all completed through agents, right?" Li Te said, looking at Mudrick.

"You brat, what do you know?!" Mudrick was shocked when he heard that Li Te knew this.

The other party must have known something.

He had the habit of keeping accounts and saving contracts. When he thought about the disappearance of people that night, Mudrick immediately guessed what happened.

My house has definitely been invaded!

They secretly looked through their own information.

This is the only possibility.

Thinking this, Mudrick glared at Leeteuk.

"Boy, don't you know it's rude to break into other people's rooms? Is this what you call sincerity?"

"Sincerity is something that divides people." Hearing this, Lite shrugged helplessly. "I think Captain Mudrick might be hiding something from us, so I'll do this."

"Okay, okay." Mudrick nodded. "Then it seems we don't need to talk."

At this time, he drew his sword from his waist.

"Let him go now, or die, you choose one!" With that said, Mudrick looked at Li Te.

"I think you may be thinking a little too much." Li Te said, smiled nonchalantly, and then clapped his hands.

From the shadows of the woods, the orange-haired half-orc girl who had saved several of Lit's people that day came out.

She stood in front of Li Teuk, staring closely at Mudrick.

"Captain Mudrick, do you think you can beat this guy?" Lite smiled. "I should be the one making the conditions now, right? Hand over all the confidential documents in your storage ring."

"Otherwise..." Li Te said, pulled out Vergil's sword, and walked to the prisoners behind him.

"I will kill one of your brothers every minute." As she said this, her tone was filled with a hint of cruelty.

That night she read all the contracts of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

The further he turned to the back, the greater the turmoil in Li Teuk's heart.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. As the entrusted party, the mercenary group itself should be evaluated separately from the entrustment incident.

But after seeing all the outrageous things the Iron Wolf mercenary group did in the future, Leeteuk decided that he would not let anyone in the Iron Wolf mercenary group go.

Yes, the mercenary group does things for money, but it is precisely because they can do anything that the nobles unscrupulously use the mercenary group as their black gloves.

In society, there are a number of mercenary groups that only take on serious business, that is, escorting caravans, rescuing hostages, etc. Although they don't make much money, at least they are not harmful to nature.

If what the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group did before could be understood as making a living, then it completely changed and turned into a crime-related job to make money.

Many mercenaries with ideals and ambitions chose to quit the group after seeing the mission of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Most of those who stayed here were people who could give up all morals for money.

Do you feel guilty for killing these people?

Obviously not.

If the doctor were at the scene right now and saw Lee Teuk's actions, he would definitely applaud Lee Teuk and praise him.

He thought Li Teuk was just a child, but he didn't expect Li Teuk's character to have matured.

At least, he's become a lot like Orson in not showing mercy.

(PS: This chapter is a bit late, but considering it’s 1,000 words, you will definitely forgive me, right? By the way, I’m asking for monthly votes, woo hoo, I was ranked 13th in the month before, but now I’m almost out of the top 20 , obviously there are so many more)

Chapter 98: Do you think I am level six? (8K)

"Master Li Te, do you think that I am a little too kind?" Mudrick said, looking at Li Te with a smile.

"My brothers have followed me through life and death for many years, and they have never experienced any big storms." Mudrick continued.

"I treat them well on weekdays. The salary and mission bonus dividends I pay them are also the first in the imperial city. From the day they joined the group, they have been prepared to die one day."

"Do you think you can threaten me with them?"

"Yeah, no threat." Li Te nodded after hearing this.

Then, she winked at the orange-haired girl, who nodded, rushed forward, drew her sword and stabbed Mudrick.

Seeing this, Mudrick also drew his sword and fought with the orc girl.

…

Go back to one day ago.

Saint Laurent City, inside the cafe.

"Sister Chelinina." Lite looked at Chelinina sitting opposite and gave her a kind smile.

"Master Li Te, what's wrong with you coming to see me today?" Chelinina looked at Li Te and asked with some confusion.

In the past two days, she had been running business in Saint Laurent City. Lite didn't know who she got the information from, but he actually took the initiative to find Chelinina.

Chelinina looked at Lite opposite and felt a little emotional.

The last time I saw Lit, she was still the little brother who would only follow behind Orson, a little timid and afraid to bother others. I didn't expect that Lit has grown up to the point where he can be so polite and generous when meeting people alone.

After all, the relationship between Lit and I can't be said to be very good. The only connection between the two is Orson.

"Don't call me so strangely, just call me Lit, sister Chelinina." Lit smiled.

"Okay, Lit." Chelinina smiled relaxedly after hearing this.

"What's the matter with you looking for me this time?"

"That..." Lit said this, still a little embarrassed, and then she looked up at Chelinina.

"Sister Chelinina, didn't Orson say before that if I have any financial problems, I can come to you."

"Ah, Orson did say that." Chelinina nodded after hearing this. "What's wrong? Have you spent the three thousand gold coins I gave you last time?"

Hearing what Lit said, Cherylina knew why Lit came to her.

To put it bluntly, he was short of money and came to her for money.

Thinking of this, Cherylina's view of Lit changed again.

Is this the so-called transition from frugality to luxury?

Lit used to live in the countryside, which Cherylina undoubtedly knew.

Unexpectedly, Lit had just entered the Duke's house, and it had only been a few months, and money had become worthless in her eyes.

Three thousand gold coins were a large amount of money even for the living expenses of a nobleman. Living in the Imperial Academy, if you don't have any bad habits, you can't spend that much money at all.

Could it be that Lit was a born prodigal?

Thinking of this, Cherylina regretted her decision to bet on Lit before.
