Somewhere on the island.

Hattori Yamano stopped in front of a stream in the mountains, reached out and took a handful of cool spring water into his mouth, and then washed his face here.

When Hattori Yamano got up and prepared to leave, his eyes were drawn to a stone under the water.

No, a piece pressed under a stone to be exact.

Only a corner of the piece is exposed, and it is round, glowing coolly in the moonlight.

Could it be..

Hattori Yamano reached into the water again, picked up the round object from under the stone, and shone it into the moonlight, a smile of excitement appeared on his face.

That's right, the winning card of the preliminary round.

Suddenly, Hattori Yamano's smile vanished, his face was cold, and he turned his head to look behind him.

At some point, a group of mercenaries appeared behind Hattori Yamano, half of the forty or so people were still hiding in the shadows, and the others were standing there under the leadership of a tall man.

Everyone's eyes were on the winning card in Hattori Yamano's hand, and there was also an excited smile on his face, especially the tall guy, who thought that the winning card was already his.

"Hand over the winning card, I won't kill you!" The tall guy spoke.

Hattori Yamano glanced at the winning card in his hand, then looked at the tall guy and said, "Give me a reason, why should I give it to you?" ”

"You want a reason? Haha.." The tall guy laughed, then turned back to the people around him and shouted, "Did you hear that? That guy wants a reason! ”

"Haha.." The mercenaries around laughed, in their opinion, Hattori Yamano's question was very stupid, wasn't it a reason for so many of them to stand in front of him?

Hattori Yamano stood there with a calm face, not at all stupid as his question.

The tall guy laughed enough, stared at Hattori Yamano and said, "If you want a reason, then I'll give you a reason." First of all, my name is Stude, and I'm sure you've heard my name; Secondly, I am the leader of the third largest mercenary group in this World Mercenary Classic, and I am the most likely candidate to win the championship of this World Mercenary Classic; Finally, there are so many of them that if you had a little brain, you would know that you should follow my orders. So, hand over the damn winning card, or you're going to die here! ”

"I see. If you want it, then go for it. Hattori Yamano stretched out his hand as he spoke, and the winning card lay in the palm of his hand waiting for Sted to take it.

Having a winning hand means passing the preliminary round, so winning a hand is tempting for everyone.

Although everyone here has formed an alliance with Steder, they have their own ghosts in their hearts, and everyone wants to get the winning card first, but they are afraid of Steder's strength but temporarily suppress their **.

Stride glanced at the mercenary beside him and ordered, "Go over and get the winning card back." ”

"Nope." Hattori Yamano suddenly screamed, and clasped his fingers together to hold the winning card, staring at Stude, and said, "I'm letting you come and get it yourself." Why, don't you even have the guts to do this? ”

Stude's brow furrowed, feeling his authority challenged, as there were many eyes watching in the shadows.

If he doesn't go there himself, he will be looked down upon by others, and even if he gets the winning card, he will be taken away by his wolf-like allies, and in the end, he may not even know how he died.

"Come on, come and get it if you want." Hattori Yamano said as he stretched out his fingers again, and the winning card once again glowed seductively in the moonlight.

Sted snorted, deliberately made a disdainful look, glanced at a few people he trusted, and then walked towards Hattori Yamano.

On the surface, he looked disdainful, but in fact, Sted was very vigilant, staring at Hattori Yamano's every move with his eyes, and his right hand was inadvertently placed on the handle of the pistol at his waist.

In contrast, Hattori Yamano was unusually calm, standing there expressionlessly waiting for Stride to come over.

When Sted was less than five meters away from Hattoriyamano, Hattoriyama's outstretched hand suddenly shook for a moment, and then the winning card flew towards Steder.

Purely instinctively, Studer reached for the winning card, only to find out out of the corner of his eye that Hattori Yamano had suddenly disappeared.

Of course, Hattori Yamano didn't know how to stealth, he just moved at a blistering speed, jumping out of Stade's vision in the shortest amount of time.

"Poof." A flash of cold light.

Sted was annoyed to find that one hand had caught the winning card first, and then he saw that Hattori Yamano was standing in front of him with the winning card.

Mana Dan, what about playing with me?

Sted reached for the pistol at his waist, but suddenly felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, or rather the limbs were not under his command.

This.. What's going on?

Sted saw Hattori Yamano reach out and grab his head, and then his ears heard a "tom", and his body fell to the ground, but his head was still in Hattori Yamano's hand.

Hattori Yamano's knife was so fast that Steder's head was cut off without realizing it, let alone reacting.

The mercenaries who stood not far away and could be said to have surrounded Hattori Yamano were dumbfounded, they had never seen a person kill a person at such a fast speed.

Even though the weapons in their hands could exert a faster speed than Hattori Yamano, they were all shocked by Hattori Yamano's momentum, and they stood there stupidly not knowing what to do.

"Does anyone else want this winning card?" Hattori Yamano stared at the people across from him and said coldly.

didn't dare to speak, the winning card in Hattori Yamano's hand at this time was undoubtedly more terrifying than a poisonous snake, and anyone who touched him could end up like Stude.

"If you don't, goodbye." Hattori Yamano threw Stade's head out with a flick of his hand, and almost at the same time a puff of white smoke came out in front of him, enveloping him in an instant.

"Gollum.." Stead's head turned in the eyes of the people, and when the smoke cleared, they realized that Hattori Yamano was long gone.

What happened just now?

No one could clearly explain what they saw, and the only thing they knew for sure was that Sted had died in front of them, killed by Hattori Yamano, a ghostly figure.

For a moment, the already shaky alliance collapsed with Stude's death.

The mercenaries were suspicious of each other, their muzzles flickering, and they stepped back on guard, leaving only Sted's body in a different place.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the island.

The leader of the Second Alliance is a forty-year-old middle-aged man named Shangge, who is the first sniper of the Celestial Star Mercenary Regiment and also serves as the deputy head of the Celestial Star Mercenary Regiment.

Shang Ge hides in a weedy in an "auspicious" suit, and man and heaven and earth are one, and almost no one will notice him.

Through Shangena's sniper rifle equipped with night vision scopes, a man can be seen walking in the mountains and forests, and it is Adam, who has chosen to act alone, just like Hattoriyama.

Adam didn't know that he was Shange's prey, but he sensed that something was wrong with his surroundings, so he slowed down and kept an eye out for changes around him.

Shange smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth after seeing Adam's actions, if he pulled the trigger at this time, Adam's chance of survival was zero, but he was not in a hurry to shoot his target.

Shange wants to live one.

This is because he knows the relationship between Adam and Zhao Guoqing, as long as he can capture Adam alive, he can set up a perfect trap for Zhao Guoqing, and killing Zhao Guoqing can get a lot of honorarium.

In addition, Adam is the leader of the world's second-largest mercenary group.

The Wild Lion Mercenary Regiment actually allowed its own leader to participate in such a bloody killing competition, it was like putting their hearts in the hands of the enemy, I really don't know what they thought.

From the first time he saw Adam, Shange had a plan, which was to kidnap Adam.

Imagine how much the head of the world's second-largest mercenary group would be worth?

I believe that the Wild Lion Mercenary Group will definitely spend a lot of money to ransom their leader!

"Report, we're in place, and we're ready to close the net." The communicator heard the voices of his subordinates.

Shange smiled proudly, no matter how strong Adam's personal combat power was, once he entered the fishing net, it would not be so easy to swim out again.

Of course, Shange would not have taken the liberty of shooting Adam, as that would have provoked the mad revenge of the Lion Mercenary Regiment.

Provoking a mad lion is undoubtedly a battle in the fire, but Shangge likes this kind of game very much.

"Collect the net." Shange gave the order and continued to observe Adam's every move through the night vision scope of the sniper rifle. He won't kill Adam, but that doesn't mean he won't shoot Adam, he will choose to do it himself if necessary.

Adam's footsteps suddenly stopped, his ears moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the left back, where there was a distinct sound of footsteps.

Stalked?

Adam didn't dare to hesitate, immediately raised the muzzle of his gun and fired a string of bullets in the direction from which the sound came, and then turned around and rushed forward.

But..

"Bang Bang Bang ... A string of gunshots rang out, and several bullets hit the tree next to Adam.

Adam hurriedly returned fire, then turned and ran in the other direction, but was stopped again before he had not gone far.

Worst!

Adam screamed badly, and then he realized that he had fallen into a trap and entered the encirclement of the enemy.

Watching Adam smash like a headless fly in the net he had cast, Shange once again smirked.

He loved the game, and the feeling of playing with people in the palm of his hand was a pleasure for him, and could make him more excited than a woman would serve.

Be.. Perfect to enjoy!
