Chapter 367

"Did my performance just now make you think I'm a difficult person to deal with?"

"It doesn't matter. I've seen him. He's fine. His vital signs are all there. You've completed your mission very well." He patted the mercenary on the shoulder.

"I'm like this. As long as you complete the mission I assigned, I'm a very easy-to-talk-to person." Then, he took out ten gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the mercenary.

"In Saint Laurent City, there are still a lot of expenses. You can use these ten gold coins to have a drink, or find a less expensive restaurant and order a few country girls to accompany you." Then, he walked to the door of the warehouse.

"Okay, I'll send someone here to pick him up later, and I'll pay the rent for you at that time."

"Okay, thank you very much!" The mercenary said this, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The tense strings in his heart also relaxed, and he bowed to Rody.

"It's okay." Rody waved his hand. "It can be seen that your boss values ​​you very much since this is the first time you are sent to do this kind of mission."

As he said this, he turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

Then, Virgil walked out from the shadows.

He looked at the mercenary, and then looked at the door.

"Um... sir, how did I complete this mission?" The mercenary looked at Virgil expectantly.

"It's OK." Virgil nodded.

But, was this mission completed a little too smoothly?

(PS: I ran a military uniform with AI, and I always felt that his expression was a little cold)

Chapter 106: It's the Duke, right?

On the other side, after leaving the warehouse, Rody immediately walked along another path, and did not walk into the path he came from.

As early as the beginning when the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group sent a newcomer to contact him, he had already noticed something wrong. This feeling of uneasiness was particularly strong in the warehouse when he checked the health of Andre and his wife.

Therefore, he changed his previous high-handed attitude and appeased the new mercenaries with an equal attitude, and then found a chance to get out.

No, I must go to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group headquarters to see what they are doing.

Then, after winding around several streets, Lodi came to the street where the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was located.

At this moment, the people standing at the door of the house representing the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group’s garrison were also people from the city defense force.

"TMD, as expected, that stinky boy is lying to me!" Lodi said so, with a hint of anger in his tone.

But then came fear.

The task he gave to the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group was just to kidnap Litt's adoptive parents. Was it necessary for the city defense force to wipe out the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group in such a matter?

No matter how close the relationship between the Stranik family behind Litt and the royal family was, it was impossible to mobilize the city defense force to take action directly.

"Damn it!" Lodi cursed again. "I've told them to be more careful. Although Litt is fine, Orson behind him is a big trouble, but they didn't listen. Now they've been arrested."

"If you listen to me, just let Mudrick go, there won't be so many troubles."

Lodi waited here for a few more minutes, but still didn't see Mudrick.

Not to mention Mudrick, not even a living member of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group could be seen.

It is estimated that after Mudrick knew the news, he had already taken his brothers to take refuge outside the city.

Lodi thought so.

However, what he didn't know was that Mudrick didn't take refuge outside the city at all. Now he has become a corpse and is being studied by experts hired by the royal family.

And then, when he was about to turn around and report to his master, he was stunned.

Standing behind him was the assassin who had just greeted him, and next to the assassin, the young man with black hair, purple eyes, tall stature and handsome face, was Orson, whom his master asked him to do everything he could to get rid of.

"Hey, boss, this is the man I brought to you." The assassin said, pointing to Orson next to him. "I helped you catch Orson."

Lodi looked at the assassin, then at Orson.

He thought to himself, do you think I'm a fool? Then he turned around and ran without looking back.

However, before he ran far, the assassin surpassed him with his own speed and stood in front of him.

"Boss, don't be impatient." The assassin said, smiling. "I have completed the task you assigned to me. Look, I brought the person here for you. You should thank me."

"Bah! You traitor!" Rody spat, and then turned around immediately, but he stopped again before he took a step.

Orson was standing five meters behind him, just looking at him quietly.

Rody knew that he could not run away, so he could only turn his head and look at the assassin with a fierce look.

"If you still want to stay in this business, let me go! Otherwise, when the news of your betrayal of your employer spreads, the whole industry will be ashamed of you!"

"Don't say that." The assassin smiled. "When it comes to betrayal, aren't you the best?"

"???!" Rody's eyes widened. "You, don't talk nonsense!"

How did this assassin know that he betrayed his master?

Lodi has been doing this kind of dirty work for his master for five years. This time, in order to deal with Orson, his master specially gave him a large sum of money and asked him to act as he saw fit.

In his opinion, with such a large sum of money, if anyone had one, he could even hire an eighth-level expert to deal with Orson.

But in his opinion, this was a bit overkill. After all, Orson was only a sixth-level master, and a seventh-level master was enough to kill him without any defense.

And if Orson is hiding in the academy, don't worry, the people around him are easier to deal with than Orson himself.

In addition, he had always believed that he had done his duty to the family, and this money should be the money rewarded by his master. Therefore, he downgraded one level and chose to hire a seventh-level killer.

Although it is indeed difficult to hire an eighth-level master, his personal selfishness is definitely involved.

Not only did he hire a seventh-level assassin, but in order to make more money from it, he deliberately chose to bypass the agent and obtain the assassin's contact information through other channels, and then issued this task to the assassin.

This isn't the first time he's done this.

In the past, as long as it was something that he considered to be "not a big problem", he would always choose to skip the agent and directly issue the entrustment in his own name.

And it is true that I have never flipped a car before.

Unexpectedly, this time the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group overturned and exposed all his information.

Seeing Lodi's reaction, the assassin became more convinced of his inner thoughts.

Sure enough, this useless thing just wants to eat both sides and harm itself.

As for how to eat from both ends, he can figure it out with his butt.

First, his master gave him a sum of money to hire him to kill Orson.

Then he found Orson and revealed the information that he wanted to assassinate him, so that Orson could be alert in advance.

Afterwards, as long as he dies and doesn't have to pay the balance, he can still receive a large amount of money from Orson.

What an old fox who is blind to money!

Thinking of this, the assassin's favorable impression of Lodi suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Originally, they still cherished some old feelings of cooperation, but now the two are completely on opposite sides.

If Orson hadn't said that this person would still be useful,

He had already killed Lodi.

"I didn't expect that, Mr. Lodi, you were quite smart. Instead of going back directly, you came here specifically to check out the situation." Orson said this and clapped his hands, seemingly praising Lodi.

"Humph." Luo Di snorted coldly.

Of course he knew that Orson was mocking him, but as a trapped beast at the moment, he had nothing to do.

"Go on, tell me everything you know." Orson said, frankly extending his hand to Lodi. "It's okay, don't have any psychological burden. The person behind you will understand the decision you made, because only in this way can you return to him and continue to contribute to him, right?"

"What if I say no?" Lodi narrowed his eyes and looked at Orson.

"Then, let's play a game. I guess, what do you think?" Orson looked at Lodi and smiled.

Lodi said nothing.

"Let me guess the identity first."

Orson said this, deliberately pondered for a long time, and then said:

"It's the Duke, right?"

Chapter 107: I’m here to rescue you

When Luo Di heard Orson's words, he immediately felt a turmoil in his heart.

His pupils dilated slightly and his body trembled slightly.

He wanted to say something to deny Orson, but it felt like a huge boulder was weighing on his body, making it hard for him to breathe, let alone speak.

"Why are you silent? Did I guess wrong?" Orson said, still smiling.

"Mr. Lodi, this is the Imperial City. Due to our status, of course I won't do anything to you, but the same cannot be said for others."

"For example, some people who no longer need to care about reputation."

Of course Lodi knew that Orson was threatening him by saying this.

At this moment, Luo Di's back was covered with fine beads of sweat, almost making his clothes wet.

"What...you want, just say it." He said this and looked up at Orson.

"Come with me and I will ensure your safety." Orson gave his conditions.

"Can I say no?"

"Do you have the capital to say no?"

"..." Luo Di lowered his head, seeming to accept his fate. "I know, but I will not betray my master."

"It doesn't matter." Orson said, motioning for the assassin to take action.

When the assassin heard this, he nodded, and then he stepped forward.

"Mr. Lodi, I'm sorry I'm going to be rude."

As he said this, he struck Luo Di on the neck with a knife, and the latter immediately passed out.

"Take him away," Orson said. "The money has been paid."

Although a cooperative relationship has been established between Orson and the Assassin, again, nothing can be guaranteed by a mere verbal agreement.

After all, two people still need to rely on interests to connect them together.

The assassin didn't say anything, just picked up Lodi and took him away.

According to the progress of the royal family's investigation, it is estimated that it will not take a few days to investigate Lodi. Orson did this in order to get the vital chess piece of Lodi in his hands before the royal family.

…

On the other side, it was night, and the doctor returned to the door of Baron Drizzt's house.

The soldier guarding the door was the same soldier who was there today. When the doctor came over, he greeted the doctor.

"Mr. Guard, you have been on duty for a day, right? Thank you for your hard work." The doctor said.

"No, compared to Lord Drizzt who works hard for the people all day, I am nothing."

"Has the Lord of the City woke up?"

"Not yet." The guard heard the doctor's question and shook his head. "Lord Drizzt hasn't woken up yet, why don't you go in and wait first? The Lord should wake up soon."

"Okay." The doctor didn't say much after hearing this, but just nodded.

"Thank you very much."

With that, he walked into the mansion.

He didn't go upstairs directly, but returned to the kitchen this afternoon. He took a look outside the kitchen, and after making sure that the guard didn't follow him, he walked into the kitchen.

When he touched the wall brick, he could clearly feel a faint rebound.

This wall tile can be pressed down.

Then, the doctor pressed down the wall tile, and then, in the kitchen

a secret door leading to the underground appeared in front of the doctor.
