Chapter 684: Don't take an example
On the top floor of a luxury apartment in downtown Boston, Eric Harrison, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, was sitting on the sofa, his eyes were bloodshot red, and his face revealed undisguised anxiety and uneasiness.
His wife, eldest son, and two daughters sat in a chair not far away, crying and weeping.
Obviously, this man who hides a huge secret in his heart did not tell his family the truth, but pushed it to the non-existent "terrorists", and the terrible wounds on the body of his youngest son Kasa are also described as being brutally tortured and abused by terrorists.
After all, in a crisis like this that could lead to the demise of the entire family at any time, the fewer people who know the better, and the less they know, the safer.
Unfortunately, Eric underestimated the desire of his eldest son, Jervis, to avenge his brother's death.
Before he could react to what was happening, a group of heavily armed mercenaries burst in from the outside.
The guy in the first of them had a bald head, looked to be about forty years old, although his physique was not very strong, but he gave people a sense of leanness, he didn't seem to like talking nonsense at all, and asked bluntly: "Who is the employer?"
"I am!" Jervis responded with the initiative to step up.
"Very well! We already know your mission, to capture ten million dollars alive and kill eight million. According to the old rules, half of the deposit is paid upfront, and the money will not be refunded regardless of whether it is successful or not, and the rest will be paid when the task is completed. If we agree, we start acting, and if we don't, forget it. The bald head opened the price as quickly as possible.
He didn't have to ask to know that he definitely didn't know who the family standing in front of him was, otherwise he would never speak in such a way and tone.
You must know that the maritime civilization established with the Anglo-Saxons as the core, although on the surface it gives people the illusion that it was the first to start modern secularization, liberalization, and capitalization, but in its bones it has always emphasized the principles of blood supremacy, aristocracy, and privilege supremacy.
Whether it is Britain, the former global hegemon, or the United States of America, the only superpower in its true deserved, the upper class of society has always been firmly controlled by a group of families, many of which can be traced back to 200 years ago, and the British aristocracy can be traced back to the Wars of the Roses.
Just look at the media that entertains them to death, and they may dare to ridicule politics and provoke billionaires, but few dare to dig into the secrets hidden by those ancient families.
Because people with a little common sense know that these people who really control the country will not go through the so-called legal procedures with you, but will only suppress you through various means, making you a penniless poor ghost and a homeless man, and then crush you like a bedbug when the public no longer pays attention to you.
There is no doubt that Harrison is such a family, whether it is in politics, business, or the military, it has countless friends.
All you need to say hello in private, let alone a mere group of mercenaries, the army of a small country can be easily eradicated.
But the vengeful Jervis didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and quickly took out his checkbook, wrote a check for five million dollars, and handed it to the other party: "Take it! Remember! I want to live!"
"No problem! We have always had a good reputation, please rest assured. ”
After calling to confirm that the check could be cashed, a faint smile immediately appeared on the bald head's face, and he quickly left the apartment with his men.
Seeing the Humvee these guys disappear at the end of the road, Eric finally stood up and roared, "What the fuck are you doing, bastard, recruiting mercenaries, are you crazy, do you know who our enemy is?"
"Whoever it is! I'm going to make him pay! The price of blood! The Harrison family can't die in vain! Blood debts can only be paid with blood! Isn't that what you taught me?" Javis retorted mercilessly.
Ever since he came by plane this morning, he has always felt that something is wrong with his father, and he seems to be much weaker than usual, so he has always held a breath in his stomach, and now he immediately vented it all after being stimulated.
"Fack, you don't understand what's going on! It's not something you can do to meddle in this matter! I've lost a son and don't want to lose a second. ”
Under the heavy pressure, Eric was in a bit of a mental state and kept walking around the living room.
Just as he opened his mouth several times, about to tell his son the truth, there was a crisp click from the closed door, and then a young man with oriental appearance walked in from outside.
The most interesting thing is that the two security guards guarding the door did not seem to see anything, neither stopped nor announced, and just let a stranger enter the room.
"Good afternoon! I am very tempted to interrupt at this time, but I have a very important matter to speak to Mr. Eric alone. Zhang Cheng stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, pretending to be polite.
I have to say that the last time he directly ordered the combat team to raid the villa, it was simply two extremes.
"Follow me! let's go to the study!"
Eric's pupils contracted violently, and he pushed his eldest son away and walked into the study in the right corner.
Zhang Cheng nodded at the three ladies present, as well as the bewildered Jervis, followed and closed the door.
Because it is an apartment, this study is not large, but the shelves are densely packed with all kinds of historical, literary, philosophical, and economic works, at least as many as a thousand copies, and it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy them in the market.
After briefly admiring the surrounding layout, Zhang Cheng quickly placed a delicate wooden box on the desk and opened the lid.
Moment!
A strong smell of blood emanated!
I saw that there was nothing else in the box, but Lucas's bloody head.
"You...... Did you really kill him?" said a shudder in Eric's voice.
There's no way not to tremble!
Lucas's shadow has been hanging over him since the day he took over the family, and the cloud that has been hanging over him can never be dispelled.
But now it is good that this old fellow, who was once considered unwarable, has finally been killed by the enemy today.
Eric didn't know whether he should show sadness or joy, and his emotions were very complicated.
Zhang Cheng was keenly aware of this, and spread his hands disapprenosingly: "Of course, what, do you think it is very difficult to kill him? No, killing him is as easy as eating and drinking water for me." In addition, I have reached a cooperation intention with those old guys who have lived for a hundred or two years, and I will be your backstage from today onwards. ”
From now on, the Harrison family will obey your commands, just as we obeyed him before. Lucas bowed respectfully and bowed deeply.
"Very good! I like people who know the times and know how to advance and retreat, I hope you don't say one thing and do another. Don't forget to take care of your furious eldest son, I don't want him to die at my hands one day. As for those nasty mercenaries, I won't pursue them this time, but I won't make an example......"
