Chapter 40: Sunset and Western Mountain
Avis's mood during this time was quite complicated. As a sixth-order hunter of the Aric Assassin Company, he failed in his mission to punish the H913 Gathering Place, and was even seduced by a low-level Adept, which was an experience that made him humiliating and unbearable.
However, the top management of Alik did not take any substantive punishment for Avis's failure, which made Aavis happy and confused at the same time.
But compared to his hapless boss, Ives was definitely lucky. The boss who went out with him on the mission just slept in the car in the wilderness outside the H913 gathering place, and until now he still looks like a mess.
Ives is still young, and he still has a great future. Generally speaking, people with great prospects like Ives have a common shortcoming.
This kind of person is very life-saving.
So, when Ives was woken up by Luo in a daze in the middle of the night, he chose to cooperate very well.
Luo didn't point the stab at his sensitive spot this time, but he still didn't dare to have the slightest thought of resisting. Not to mention the Luo who had been smiling and sitting opposite him, and even the shadow-like boy behind Luo who looked younger than himself, all brought him a great sense of oppression.
"Your allure has been lifted?"
Luo asked calmly, but a thin bead of sweat quickly rose on Avis's forehead.
"Perhaps...... Maybe it was the charming sister who thought I didn't have the value of being seduced for a long time, so she ......"
Ives didn't see the woman who had charmed him, and replied weakly, like an extremely well-behaved child.
"Don't you have anything to tell me? Lord Elvis. ”
Avis was shocked, he didn't quite understand what Luo meant, but he hid it well.
"Dear sir, two crazy women came to the Aric company a few days ago and had a big fight at the base. One of the company's top brass was injured in the dispute, and the base lost most of its land vehicles. ”
Luo's heart moved, and he thought of Medusa and the mysterious hurricane girl, and it turned out that Medusa chose this place for the battlefield of the two.
"What about me or my partner?"
There was a hint of impatience in Lowe's words.
He didn't ask Ives directly about Panis, and it was much more authentic to let the other party say it than to ask.
"The company has withdrawn its decision to punish you and your base, and there will be no more offenses to you and your gathering place!"
Beads of sweat had begun to drip down Avis's forehead, and thin streaks of sweat were spilling over his pale scalp.
Lowe was silent.
Ives doesn't seem to know about Panis, but Lowe feels that Panis's disappearance has something to do with Alex's higher-ups, which is why he only sent Julius to the tavern, and he and Hades found Avis.
Panis is already a high-level ability, and the status of high-level ability in the wilderness mercenary group is very high, without the participation of Alik's high-level leaders, ordinary mercenary teams would not easily dare to provoke Panis.
And Panis, despite her straightforward personality, is smart. As the captain of the night, Paniss is unlikely to accept a mission that she cannot complete or is extremely dangerous.
It seems that it is necessary to take the time to pay a private visit to Alik's higher-ups.
The Cardivan family even dispatched the tenth-order superpowers, but they still still didn't want Luo's life, compared to the Cardivan family, the deterrent power of the assassin company is obviously reduced by one level, and Luo believes that he has the ability to protect himself.
Eventually, instead of meeting Alik's higher-ups, Lowe sat down on the edge of the bed of the Alik Base Tavernkeeper.
This was Julius' final decision after bringing back Walker. Perhaps the bearded tavern owner was also one of Alec's top executives.
"If I said it was a friendship between you and Panis that gave you the opportunity to open your eyes and talk to me, would you think I was bragging? Dear Excellency Bob, ”
Luo sat beside the bearded man, staring coldly at the man with a puzzled face who still didn't seem to wake up.
"Oh, Lo! I didn't expect to meet you again in this situation, I'm really ......"
The beard closed his mouth at the right time, because the boy beside Luo, who had been silent, had already revealed an undisguised murderous intent.
"Mr. Bob, I would like to know how you managed to get my captain into the trap step by step. Also, my patience is limited, and if I think any of your words are likely to lie, I'll go out of this room and find your brother. As for you, I'm sure my partner will eat you to the scum! ”
Lowe's expression was calm, calm enough to scare the tavernkeeper.
Compared to the mercenary who shouted like a mad cow, Luo, who had a calm face, could make him fear even more.
Of course, the source of fear also includes the gray-and-white skin boy who is always silent, but who is like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.
He thought of the viper, of the trapping scheme that Alik had been forced to carry out.
"Well, dear Lo, for the sake of my friendship with Panis, I may have a better suggestion. I can take you to see my brother, of course, you can go yourself, but if I take you, it may be a lot less troublesome. ”
Lowe has never been one to like trouble, especially for those that can be avoided, so he takes the tavernkeeper's advice.
He didn't care if the other party was playing tricks, after losing most of the heavy land tanks, the Alik company had made Luo not so afraid, not to mention that Alik's top brass seemed to be still under Medusa's deliberate care, and suffered some minor injuries.
Bearded and Lowe left his tavern and walked to the residence of Billy Dupont, the Arik speaker. Of course, he didn't trespass into the private domain of the base's supreme leader in the middle of the night as the owner of the Alik Tavern, but in a different capacity.
Bob Dupont, the identity of the younger brother of Billy Dupont, the discursor of Alik.
Billy Dupont hasn't rested yet, in fact he hasn't had it in a long time.
When his brother knocked on his door with Luo and the shadowy shadow, he only said lightly, "Please come in", but did not lift his head, which was buried deep in the desk papers.
A charming young lady was standing respectfully behind him, it was the chief intelligence officer of Alik's company, Caroline.
"I'm sorry, my dear friend, I've not been in good health lately, and I have too much work to do, so I can't go out to meet you, please forgive me!"
The old man with white hair and meticulously combed heard the sound of the door opening, slowly raised his head, and when he saw Luo who was following his younger brother into the room, he finally stood up, greeted Luo, and stretched out his arms.
It's like a warm host greeting a long-awaited guest.
The old man gently hugged Luo before turning around and leading Luo to the spacious living room to sit down, and he himself sat on the sofa opposite Luo.
"My dear brother, come and sit down. Miss Carolyn, can you make us a cup of tea? My guests are not used to drinking. ”
The old man looked at Luo, who was sitting opposite him, wearing an off-white combat uniform, and turned his head to Caroline and gave an order.
"Please do not have any prejudices against my brother, my honored guest, who did as I commanded. In fact, he has been out of the top of Alik for a long time. ”
Luo didn't speak, he was calculating how successful he and Stygian would be against the three of them.
Caroline was a very competent assistant, or at least she was quite skilled at making tea, a skill that was almost extinct in the wilderness.
"You have a cup of tea first, and then I will give you a satisfactory answer to all your doubts. You're not afraid of anything else in the tea, and Carolyn's intelligence work is pretty good. ”
The old man put a cup of fragrant hot tea on the table in front of Luo, but he didn't pay attention to the darkness behind Luo.
Luo looked down at the remaining green shoots in the teacup, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
In the whole wilderness, except for the faint green eyes of mutant creatures and large patches of mildew, there was not much green left.
Compared to the coffee made by Lisa, Luo felt that this kind of thing called "tea" was more suitable for him.
"My name is Billy, Billy DuPont, and I'm the talker for Alex Hunter. To ensure that our conversation goes smoothly, I would like to assure you in my own name that your partner, Ms. Panis, is safe now. ”
The old man, Billy, seemed to understand what Lowe cared about most, and his words kept Lowe patient to sit in the luxurious office, even though Lowe didn't think that the other party's name could be equated with Panis's safety.
"More than a decade ago, I took my brother from the distant Ice Field to this wilderness and established the Alik Hunter Company as a super-level superpower. At that time, the wilderness was relatively friendly, and there were not as many super-level beings as there are now. ”
The old man seemed to be caught in the memories of the glorious past, and his slightly pale face showed a sense of iron and heroism. This is a ruler who eventually established his kingdom through killing and blood.
"Alik has developed very well over the years, and he has the strength to compete with those big family towns. Alik is my pride and my sorrow. ”
The old man looked at Luo with a friendly and jealous gaze.
"My family's ancient, mysterious manor is not in the wilderness, but in the far north. In the eyes of most people, we are outsiders, and that includes of course the big families who are eyeing Alikbase. ”
Lowe was silent, he had just been hunted down by the Cardivan family, and he didn't want to get involved in the strife between the families again.
"I've unlocked fifteen pairs of genetic sequences, and as I'm getting older, I don't have enough deterrence to stop others from coveting Alik's fat piece, especially after losing dozens of land chariots."
Lowe thought of Medusa, could it be that Panis's affair had something to do with Medusa? He didn't think that the old man had nothing to do with Panis, otherwise the other party would have to bear the wrath of Lowe.
This apparently aging super-level ability should be easy for Medusa to defeat. Alik is not far from Yusai City, and no one wants to have other people sleep soundly on their couch side.
"Actually, the person she was looking for was you, my honored guest, but you seemed to have completely disappeared from this wilderness some time ago. So, in the absence of a repetition of the strange scene that happened when the Cardivan family laid siege to your gathering place, we had to resort to a small trick and invite Lady Panis to come and visit. ”
The old man motioned to Caroline behind him to fill Lowe's empty teacup again, and her cloudy eyes met Lowe's.
"Because we know, leave Lady Panis, and you'll show up eventually."
