Chapter 57 New Employers
Wait for the next day to travel to Rock City.
Jue and his entourage, who stayed at the post station, waited for Nan Li'er, who returned unexpectedly.
Fortunately, Sevi spotted her in advance, and before Nan Li'er arrived at the station, the group dispersed as planned, without revealing the horse's feet.
Nan Li'er's early return spread uneasiness among the guardians, and this operation may not have gone as smoothly as imagined.
Not long after, Jue, who was negotiating with her outside, brought the news back.
"Assameh unilaterally wants to terminate the assassination contract."
As soon as Jue's words fell, the faces of the guards instantly dimmed, which meant that all the plans and deployments they had discussed in the post house before would be in vain.
"Why, blood can't be drunk in vain, right? The credibility of this Asamai is not as good as expected! โ
Yuke on the side furrowed his brows, his face indignant.
"Lord Jue just let her go?"
Sevi wasn't as impulsive as Yuke, thinking that since Jue was still calm, it meant that there were other circumstances.
Looking at the gossiping teammates, Jue hurriedly interrupted: "Don't worry, everyone! The Patriarch of Asama has brought the news of the target, which can be regarded as compensation for the termination of the contract, and our plan can still be carried out. โ
At this time, everyone put their minds at ease and did not pursue Nan Lier's rebellion.
After sharing the information, Jue and his entourage decided to leave for Rock City in advance to prepare for the operation five days later.
Although his teammates calmed down, Ke Jue's heart was turbulent, what happened during this period before Nan Lier terminated the contract, and it was rare for Asamai, who was rumored to keep the contract, to go back on his word.
Could it be that the target day Giovanni has already discovered the clue and plotted against Nan Quercus?
However, the Asamai Blood Clan is a well-known killer organization in the Blood Clan world, and it has always valued faith and righteousness, and it is definitely not easy to break the foolish practice of breaking the covenant.
Why did Nan Li'er, who is the patriarch, make such a mistake?
On the day she went to Rock City, something must have happened that made her sworn Asama change her mind.
However, fortunately, the situation is still stable, and they got the information they wanted, and there is no need for them Asa to take a move, as long as they succeed in taking Giovanni, it is okay for Assamai to move slowly.
On the night when Nan Lier left the post station and returned to the base camp.
The waiter brought the news of the visitor's visit.
Nan Li'er, who had just pushed off the big order, was depressed, and when she heard that a guest was visiting, she immediately sorted out her makeup and greeted the new customer.
At night, the tower is lit up by candlelight.
stay in the living room.
A brightly dressed dark-haired man was sitting upright in a chair, waiting for the belated arrival of Nan Li'er.
Looking up and down at the man with extraordinary bearing in front of him, the depression that Nan Lier had received from Giovanni dissipated in an instant.
Losing a big employer and ushering in a new employer, how do you think, she is lucky.
According to the previous rules, Nan Lier first invited guests to taste wine and chat about gossip.
"Please, this gentleman!"
She held her cheek in one hand and the wine glass in the other, and glanced at the wine glass on the table with a charming look, her intention was very obvious.
The black-haired man smiled slightly, nodded politely, and reached out to pick up his glass.
"Cheers!"
The cup was handed forward, and Nan Quercus spoke softly.
"Cheers!"
The dark-haired man touched the momentum and smiled as he brought the glass to his lips.
Drinking the wine in the cup, the corner of Nan Li'er's eyes kept falling on the man, his demeanor was elegant and indifferent, with a majestic momentum, not as cold as Jue.
Moreover, since she appeared on herself, her eyes have been lingering on her, and it seems that she is an individual thoughtful employer, which makes Nan Lier even more playful.
"Is it good?"
Putting down the cup, Nan Li'er took the initiative to lean towards the black-haired man, and the faint aroma of wine in her mouth loomed, wafting to the man's nose, full of temptation.
For Nan Li'er's deliberate teasing, closeness, the man did not show any emotion, very calm, he turned his face slightly sideways, and a pair of eyes did not shy away from looking at the beautiful face close at hand.
After colliding with his calm gaze, Nan Li'er's heart was a little shaken, a pair of beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and the leisurely heart was broken in an instant.
Under the coercion that emanated from the black-haired man's eyes, she flinched and moved half of her body back, lowered her eyes, pretended to be calm, and adjusted her mentality in time, then met his eyes again and said with a smile: "Why hasn't Mr. answered yet?" โ
The panic in Nan Li'er's eyes was easily captured by the black-haired man, and he still suppressed Nan Li'er with those eyes, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips, as if he was doing a practice for Nan Li'er's answer.
After a while, he smiled with soft eyes and said, "It's delicious, like the beauty in front of you, mellow and delicious." โ
As soon as these deliberately provocative words came out, Nan Li'er's heart was disturbed, she pursed her lips, obviously a little nervous and at a loss: tonight's guest is a little special, which makes her feel strange.
If she continued the small talk just now, Nan Li'er was afraid that she would be in a mess, so she quickly got up from the man's side, quickly sat back in her own position, and planned to receive the new employer face-to-face.
"Since the wine has been drunk and the conversation has been discussed, this gentleman should report himself to the door and explain his intentions, right?"
Stabilizing her mind, Nan Li'er raised her eyes to look at the man and went straight to the point.
"I'm going to hire bodyguards."
The man put down his glass, and the banter in his eyes disappeared completely.
When Nan Li'er heard this, she immediately said that they were just a killer organization, and they did not accept the task of protection, and asked the man to find someone else.
She refused so quickly, it was completely expected by the man, and he smiled, and his emotions were unwavering: "I have a reason for you to agree to my request unconditionally." โ
The man's firm words made Nan Li'er unhappy, he was like holding her like this, he was really annoying, he immediately sneered, and glanced at him with slanted eyes: "Oh? Then let's hear it, I'm never afraid of anyone threatening me! โ
Hearing this, the man had an inevitable smile on the corner of his mouth, stood up, and slowly leaned towards Nan Li'er.
Seeing his posture, Nan Li'er didn't know what tricks he wanted to play, and she also beat a drum in her heart, the guy in front of her was not outstanding, but he had a kind of confidence to grasp all beings, which really impressed her.
The man's footsteps stopped at a distance of half a step from Nan Quercus.
He folded his hands in front of him and raised his eyebrows to look at Nan Li'er: "This is a secret, I need you to listen to it." โ
Nan Li'er's eyes flashed, and her curiosity was aroused by the man, and under the man's gaze, she stood up in disbelief and leaned her ear to the man's lips.
The corners of the man's mouth smiled, his lips opened and closed slightly, and after a whisper, the expression on Nan Li'er's face was like a barometer, very complicated.
In just a few seconds, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, she took a step back abruptly, looked at the man beside her, and suddenly felt that the smile on the man's face was like a hypocritical smile full of danger signs.
"Who are you?"
Nan Li'er looked at the man vigilantly and asked in a deep voice.
On the other hand, the man's face was still as plain as water, and he replied with a smile: "I am the employer you have to protect." โ
The man's calmness completely annoyed Nan Li'er, she stared at a pair of beautiful eyes, and pointed with a slender hand: "I'm sorry, I don't accept you as an employer, please leave." โ
"I'm afraid not, Patriarch Nan Li'er." The man sat back in a leisurely step, leaning back and folding his legs, "You have to protect me." โ
His words seemed to remind the confused Nan Li'er, who slowly broke away from her anger, stared at the man in front of her and said, "You are Sun Giovanni!" โ
The man smiled and said nothing, as if acquiescing.
Nan Li'er pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then raised her eyes to look at the day: "I promise to accept your invitation." โ
Giovanni got up happily, walked up to Nan Li'er, and stretched out his hand to her: "In those five days, I will be waiting for you in the small village of Abuko!" โ
After speaking, Daylight picked up Nan Quercus's hand hanging at his side, bowed his head, and dropped a kiss on it, and then walked down the tower with leisurely steps and humming a little tune.
Nan Li'er, who was left alone, digested the night alone and received the information.
Is it a coincidence that the target who was going to be assassinated a few days ago actually took the initiative to find him and asked her for protection?
As soon as she terminated the contract with Jue, the target of the backfoot assassination came to the door, gave her a warning and dismounted, and had to compromise for the benefit of the whole clan.
Nan Li'er looked up and smiled bitterly, this was the most aggrieved time since she took charge of the Asamai Killer Organization, and at the same time, she suffered two blows because of one target.
What about the high level of assassination skills, many times the decision-making still has to take into account the overall situation, and they are becoming more and more confined to the influence of others, which is not a good sign.
It seems that it is time for her to carry out a reform......
On this side of the Middle East desert, the dark tide is turbulent.
A similar situation exists in the Spanish mountain range, near the Black Sea, where the two forces meet.
Since suffering a great loss in the battle with the Revornor bloodline, the demon clan has been forced to stagnate on the island for a week due to the destruction of the ferry.
Fortunately, the Great Sage Envoy secretly preserved his strength and found the nearest nearby forces to come to support the Holy King Stark on the island, otherwise, the stagnation time may be longer.
After this battle, Stark also thought carefully for a long time under the persuasion of various holy envoys, temporarily put aside his personal grudges, and immediately reorganized the team with the big plan as the leader, and once again embarked on the road to find the holy weapon.
They gathered their men near the Black Sea and headed for the Spanish mountain range, which was inhabited by one of the neutral clans, the Hita, which could be sought directly along the border.
Just as the demons set off to arrive at the realm of the Xitai clan, their traces were quickly noticed by the Xitai clan, the lord of the territory.
Naturally, the Xitai had already received all the news about the demons from the secret party, and the purpose of their coming to find the holy weapon was no longer a secret.
