Chapter 128
Ye Qi continued to walk forward, from the open space in front of the barn to the barn, and then to the table in the middle of the barn, about thirty yards away, a normal adult, even if he walked slowly, it was only a matter of a minute; But the dark mercenaries around him felt the torment of life like years at this moment.
With each step Ye Qi took forward, they felt more difficult to breathe, their hearts became more and more painful, and some of the weaker dark mercenaries had become crumbling, relying on the support of the items around them to keep them from falling; Each of these dark mercenaries had a solemnity of shock on their faces, as if they had learned for the first time what it meant to be truly strong.
And among all the dark mercenaries, the five big names in the dark mercenary world who were sitting at the table were still able to maintain a certain degree of normality, but this could not hide the surprise in their hearts; And if they learned that such a result was all Ye Qi's intention to restrain themselves, there was no doubt that if these five big figures in the dark mercenary world learned about such news, they would be surprised and overstated; After all, they already thought that Ye Qi was doing his best at this moment.
Of course, not all of them fell into this atmosphere as if they were frozen, and in the corner of the barn, the chameleon's face was flat, but his eyes were implied with joy, and from time to time a flash of brilliance; Even Raul, who has always been very dissatisfied with Ye Qi, was also impressed by Ye Qi's strength at this time - feeling the kind of coercion like the top of Mount Tai, Raul can be sure that none of the guys who went out before will be able to come back alive; It's not that these dark mercenaries aren't good enough, it's that they've chosen the wrong opponent.
No matter how big an egg is, it hits a stone. is still unable to escape the fate of being crushed.
Ye Qi walking forward. It seems to be ignoring everything; But sharp eyes. but he took everything in his eyes; In particular, the godfather, the vice-leader of the Killing Thoughts, Ned the Hammer of Sick, and Beroz the Firebird, the three characters who were once highlighted by the chameleon—but, to Yedge's regret, since his appearance until now, all three of them have behaved normally, and have not behaved out of the ordinary.
Ye Qi once again glanced at all the tasks given in the Dark Mercenary Gathering, including [A-Class Mission: Trace], and his eyes looked at the few people on the table - the Hand of the Abyss and the Nest of Terror undoubtedly belonged to the enemy, while the rest of the Thoughts of Slaughter, the Taffe Brotherhood, and the Shadows of Darkness were among them. The idea of slaughter is undoubtedly a wait-and-see attitude, and will be subordinated to the victor who is ultimately strong.
This is naturally understandable for the dark mercenaries; Even, Ye Qi was sure that the Brotherhood of Taaffe and the Shadow of Darkness, who arrived in Dude at the least, would obey such laws as well; After all, they are dark mercenaries themselves - Ye Qi is not disgusted by such an approach; Although the law of the jungle is cruel, it is extremely simple, and for such a simple and beneficial rule, why not do it?
As for the [A-Class Mission: Trace], this is obviously a mission that requires the Holy See's Secret Son. It is not something that can be accomplished by strength alone; Even if you lock down a few suspicious existences, you want to find out that one or a few real shadows from them. Nor is it now possible to confirm; And Ye Qi looked at the expressions of some of the five big names in the dark mercenary world at the table, obviously, he had to deal with the matter in front of him-
"Good evening, Lord Shak Dragon!"
When Ye Qi was about two steps away from the table, the leader of the Brotherhood of Taaffe stood up; The thin, shriveled old man shook his sparse beard, smiled, and walked over to Ye Qi; There was only two paces between the two, almost a yard or so, but the thin and dry old man kept moving, as if he had walked four or five steps like a lady.
It's a pity that in this thin and dry old man, there is no trace of the gentleness of everyone's ladies, and some are just the sneakiness of a huge mouse; And in fact, it was the same, when he moved in front of Ye Qi, the thin and dry old man suddenly stretched out his left hand towards Ye Qi, grabbed Ye Qi's right forearm, and made a false gesture with his free right hand; If it weren't for the sound of breaking the air, showing the extraordinary strength of this palm, then it was really like a warm host inviting his guests.
A touch of cold light flashed between the fingers of this thin and thin old man, and under Ye Qi's keen gaze, he could see it very clearly-between the opponent's index finger and middle finger was a thin blade that looked like a silkworm yarn and was no more than an inch in size; This blade was not only seen clearly by Ye Qi, but also by some people around him.
In addition to the leader of the Abyssal Hand 'Evil Thoughts' and the leader of the Nest of Terror's 'Lizard', the leader of the Killing Thoughts 'Commander' and the leader of the Shadow of Darkness 'Nightmare' couldn't help but snort softly, with an inexplicable sarcasm in their expressions - the fingertip knife is no stranger to anyone who engages in sneaky business; After all, it was the guy they ate for, and it was very convenient to use it to cut through other people's pockets and take money bags; Especially the guys who came out of the Brotherhood of Taffeta, the fidget knife played tricks.
Not only can it steal, but it has also become a special fighting skill - light, weird, unexpected, and the skill of cutting off the opponent's blood vessels and ligaments when others are difficult to perceive, has become the signature of the Taffea Brotherhood for a long time; Such a fingertip knife naturally has something to admire, but at this moment, 'Taffe' is used to deal with the dragon of Shak, which makes people feel funny.
Among them, there is a lack of self-esteem for this 'Taffe', and there is also contempt for this 'Taffe' - the heir of the Taffeta Brotherhood, each generation is called 'Taffe', just like the Sand Fox organization that was once active in the Yellow Sands, and the ability to become the recognized top five organizations in the dark mercenary world is the credit of the previous generation of 'Taffe', that is, the biological father of the 'Taffe' in front of him.
Tiger father dog son, such a proverb is also found in Lorante, and the two 'Taffetu' of the Taffeta Brotherhood is a perfect interpretation of this proverb; the previous 'Taffeta' is definitely a great talent, turning a small and medium-sized dark mercenary organization with less than thirty people into a Taffeta Brotherhood that has attracted the attention of everyone in the dark world. At the time when the previous 'Taffe' was still alive. Even the most powerful Thoughts of Destruction and Hand of the Abyss. We will also maintain a good cooperative relationship with them at all times.
However, after the death of the previous 'Taffe' thirty years ago, a new 'Taffe' appeared, and it was the current thin, shriveled old man, of course, thirty years ago he was still a guy in the prime of life, but that was still tiresome to deal with. With ambitions that don't match his abilities, he made many mistakes after succeeding him, and finally made the Brotherhood of Taaffeta, which is now recognized as the lowest in the rankings.
If it weren't for the fact that the previous 'Taffe' had left enough property for his son, I'm afraid that the Taffe Brotherhood would have been shattered in the hands of this one, although he has grown older, but this person's personality has not changed much, just like at this moment, he is still playing with his own little cleverness - several of the big names in the dark mercenary world here know that Taaffe is not brave at this moment. It's just that they want to be on top.
When everyone was hesitant and overwhelmed, he showed his decisiveness. Even if it fails, so what? At the very least, he would have gained fame, which he had in mind when he was younger; And it is precisely because of this plan that the other party fell short, and finally became what it is now; Naturally, the other party was not invited this time, and it was precisely for this reason; After all, in the cognition of the three leaders of the Idea of Killing, the Hand of the Abyss, and the Nest of Terror, the other party is synonymous: not enough to achieve and more to lose.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, how clear their approach is, the other party has obviously not learned a lesson until now, or has not seen clearly the essence of the dark mercenary world - strength; And not the so-called fame.
Of course, the Shadow of Darkness, which is not invited to the list like the Brotherhood of Taffe, is not for this reason - the Shadow of Darkness, in addition to its own leader, is more due to the existence of the Lair of Terror; While the Thoughts of Destruction and the Hand of the Abyss are enemies, they are much friendlier than the Nest of Terror and the Shadow of the Darkness, and at best they are brawls.
The fight between two killer organizations can be called killing.
And it is not difficult to make a choice among them, and the Nest of Terrors, which adheres to tradition, is undoubtedly more popular with the Thoughts of Destruction and the Hand of the Abyss than the Shadow of Darkness - after all, at some moments, the tradition of the killer represents loyalty; Taking money to do things and taking money to bite back, the former is undoubtedly a better choice.
Sou!
The thin, strained old man's fingertip knife was almost on Ye Qi's arm, and even the heat of his skin was clearly felt by the current leader of the Taffe Brotherhood - he didn't ask for much damage, he just needed to cut through the clothes of the Shak Dragon, and that's what he was going to do; Even if he only scratches the sleeve of Shak's Dragon, then he will inevitably gain a qualitative increase in his reputation in this gathering of dark mercenaries, thus fulfilling his original dream of reviving the Taffeta Brotherhood.
After all, then he would release the rumor that 'since he can cut through the sleeve, then the joints and ligaments are not a problem' - of course, there was still the word 'throat' on it, but considering the danger of offending the person in front of him, the thin and dry old man wisely chose to give up.
Syllable!
The thin and thin old man's left hand was on Ye Qi's right forearm, and the touch of his palm against the sleeve of his trench coat made a soft sound; And this made several dark mercenary bigwigs stunned - could it be that the dragon of Shak was injured in the previous battle?
Such an idea was understandable, and apart from this possibility, they really couldn't think of a reason why Taaffe could succeed; But soon, they noticed the difference—on the face of the thin and flat old man, there was no expression of ecstasy after success, but the incredulity; If it was successful, how could this thin old man be so silent with his character?
Undoubtedly, this is a failure!
"Well, good evening!"
After nodding at the thin and thin old man in front of him, Ye Qi rushed out of his right forearm without a trace and continued to walk forward, and the thin and thin old man did not come back to his senses after Ye Qi's right forearm left his palm. He couldn't help but look down at his fingers—originally. There are blades. Long gone without a trace.
What a speed!
The thin, squishy old man lowered his head to hide the horror on his face—he was sure that the knife was still in his hand when his fingertip knife was about to reach the other man's sleeve, but it disappeared the next moment; Such a speed is simply unimaginable!
Perhaps, his strength is not the strongest in the dark mercenary world, but in terms of speed, he is still quite confident, and he was able to be chosen as his successor by his father back then. And there was no objection from anyone, and in some ways, his talent for speed helped him immensely - after all, for a thief, speed is far more important than strength.
Therefore, even though he made many mistakes, he still served as the leader of the Taffe Brotherhood with his indisputable speed—and the reason why he dared to be the first to come out and greet Ye Qi before. Naturally, it is out of this confidence in one's own speed; It's a pity that now it's like a frosted eggplant.
This, this. It's about the same speed as my father......
Thinking back to the changes at that moment, the 'Taffe' could not help but think of his own ignorance at the beginning, always perfunctory in the face of his father's teachings, and only when he really faced difficulties did he realize how correct his father was; immediately, the thin old man was once again gloomy, silently turned around, shrugged his shoulders, and walked towards his seat—perhaps after countless failures, this thin and dry old man had long been accustomed to it, so the moment he turned around, he had already returned to his original look.
Especially after he found that only the four guys sitting on the table had discovered the cat, and the dark mercenaries standing around were still at a loss, thinking that he was polite; Immediately, the thin, shriveled old man burst out laughing, his shaky beard like a rat that had stolen an egg.
And seeing such a situation, the four dark mercenary world leaders on the table, the disdainful and sarcastic look on their faces became more and more serious; But the thin and dry old man was not moved at all, still smiling, and even picked up the rum placed in front of him and signaled to the four of them.
Hum!
Almost unanimously, the big man in the dark mercenary world let out such a cold snort, and tilted his head to the side, looking ashamed to be with him.
"This 'Taffe' is really as shameless as the legend says!"
The chameleon said in the corner of the barn in a voice that only he and Raul could hear.
"Sometimes shamelessness is also a kind of realm!"
Raul replied to his juniors like this, and at the same time, secretly pointed at Ye Qi and asked, "What the hell is he doing, he actually let go of that shameless guy like this?" ”
"Ye, he is not a murderer, he has his own bottom line and principles; And this bottom line and principle will not change because of the change in its strength! When she said this, a trace of pride appeared on the chameleon's face, and her tone revealed this pride obviously: "A strong person must have the heart of a strong man; And killing, the only thing that can be created can be the butcher! ”
"What's more, all the people who came here today are some scene goods, those real guys, I don't know where the road is; Before he found those guys, how could Ye do it? ”
Hearing this, Raul had a strange feeling in his heart, he looked at his junior, and said angrily: "It seems that you know that guy very well!" ”
"This is a fact, and it is impossible to tell!"
The chameleon's tone was still proud.
In fact, as the chameleon said, Ye Qi will not show mercy in the face of enemy attacks, and the existence of enemies that can be confirmed as enemies in this dark mercenary gathering does not include the Taaffe Brotherhood and the Shadow of Darkness - of course, this is also related to the fact that the thin and dry old man did not have other more sinister purposes, just to cut Ye Qi's sleeve, otherwise, even if he is not confirmed as an enemy, Ye Qi does not mind adding it to his own enemy category.
"What about my subordinates?"
As Yedge walked to the table and walked towards the only empty chair, the 'Lizard' of the Den of Terror's suddenly spoke—the table in the barn was clearly improvised with the 'Commander' and Nightmare on one side and the Lizard on the other, while 'Taffe' sat on its own and the empty chair was facing Taaffe.
Therefore, if Ye Qi wants to walk to that chair and sit down, he must go through the side of the 'Commander' and 'Nightmare' or the other side of 'Evil Thoughts' and 'Lizard'; if it is given to ordinary people, it is natural to go to the former; after all, judging from the current scene, it is safer to have no conflict with the two of the former.
However, Ye Qi basically chose the side of 'evil thoughts' and 'lizards' without thinking about it; it's not that Ye Qi is fearless, but almost half of the tasks in this mercenary gathering are on these two, and if the task can be completed as soon as possible, Ye Qi doesn't mind.
