Chapter 8: Inadvertently Killing the Right Person
I held the piece of paper up and looked at it carefully, yes, this badge is a little familiar, to be exact, this badge I saw last night, right in that castle, on the front wall of the reception hall, yes, this is the family crest of King Beijing, my pupils shrank sharply, but this subtle expression the man didn't see, because my hood was not taken off.
"Is it the King of Beijing who hired the Black Star Mercenary Regiment?" My voice was cold and piercing, but the man laughed, he teased, "I thought your emotions would not fluctuate!
Yes, I'm a little bit excited, because the lives of more than one hundred and fifty people in two mercenary groups are involved, and it's very important to me.
"From the information, it seems that King Beijing wants to intercept a very important piece of information, which may affect the lives of thousands of people. The man said calmly and with a hint of disdain.
"You don't believe it?"
"I believe, but I believe even more that this is just a pointless battle between two factions in the royal family. The man grabbed the rum bottle in front of me, poured himself a full glass, and poured it all down with a of his neck.
"Why do you say that?"
"The one who hired the storm is a trading house called the Imperial Capital Material Turnover Center, this trading house is famous in the imperial capital, but few people know that the financial owner behind this trading house, that is the current regent Liu Li, the commercial house asked the storm to send a batch of daily necessities to a small town called Jiyang on the northern border, and this town is controlled by orcs on three sides, only the south is the controlled area of our Yarahan Empire.
This batch of goods was once snatched away by the Black Star Mercenary Group in the middle of the way, but it was later snatched back by the Storm's people, and finally sent to Jiyang, after that, the Storm Mercenary Group launched a secret team battle to the Black Star Mercenary Group that could destroy the group, and no one was optimistic about the Storm in that battle, because the Storm only had a member named Magic Bow Martin alive, but it was this Martin who, in the secret team battle, single-handedly made Black Star be removed from the mercenary world. The man whispered about the event that had been a sensation ten years ago.
I flipped through the materials at hand, and the man's voice echoed in my ears, and I seemed to be calm, my hands were shaking without moving, which was impossible before, and since the flesh and blood of my whole body were repaired, this kind of emotional manifestation has become more and more in me.
The man evidently saw my trembling hands, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, and he had never found such a gaffe in me, and he did not know whether to go on or leave it at that.
I finally finished reading the information, put it back in the bag, sighed softly, calmed myself down, and then said, "How do you confirm that these things are true?"
"This is guaranteed to be true, I made it through an inside line on the Mercenary Guild's side, and you can see that many pages have special secret notes from the Mercenary Guild. The man pulled out the information again, and carefully turned out the information that was secretly recorded here.
I didn't stop him, and I knew the secret notes he was talking about, and he pushed a few pages of information back in front of me with obvious secret notes.
I saw that secret mark just now, it is indeed the secret mark of the Mercenary Guild, which is difficult to imitate, at least under the current technology, it is impossible to imitate this technology.
"I really don't know why you're so interested in this, but you're not interested in our employer, you know that the boss behind hiring Storm back then is the one who hired us to do things now. The man poured himself another glass of rum and said as he drank it.
"I said who is our employer...... , are you saying that the one who hired us to kill people is the same as the one who hired the Storm Mercenary Regiment?" I had a tone of obvious surprise.
"I can't say the same, it's a business firm affiliated with our employer that hires the Storm Mercenary Group, maybe their boss doesn't know what's going on. The man probably realized that he had slipped his mouth, and immediately gave an ambiguous answer, trying to make up for his mistake.
I don't know how to judge this news, I have received no less than five commissions from this mastermind, and the assassins are all important figures in the Empire, although I don't know what their names are, but I know that these people are people who can make the earth shake with their feet.
What I didn't expect was that this behind-the-scenes boss and the character I killed had already fought ten years ago. For some reason, since I killed that King of North View last night, I've started to think about things I would never have thought about before.
Actually, I didn't want to think about these things, but from that person's mouth, I found out a terrible fact, these two people who may be members of the royal family actually started fighting each other ten years ago, and besides, the Storm Mercenary Group and the Black Star Mercenary Group are both victims of their fight.
The man saw that I suddenly fell silent, and after waiting for a while before reacting, he said to me, "Don't worry about the two mercenary groups that have disappeared, let's take a look at this, are you interested in taking it?" he patted another kit and asked me.
I glanced at him and pushed the bag back to him, and he pulled out the stack of materials from the bag, the first one was a magical image of a little girl about ten years old, smiling so brightly, but there was always a kind of age in her eyes that was not appropriate for her age...... Anyway, maybe it should be called sorrow.
"This is the imperial princess Liu Ling, I heard that she is missing, find her, and then kill her, and one million is yours. The man's voice sounded in my ears like a demon, so seductive, every time he took on a task, he would say such seductive words in my ear, as if it were his talent.
But it didn't work for me, so I took the magic image, reinserted it into the bag, and said, "I won't touch this, and I advise you not to touch it either." It's not good for you. "For some reason, I suddenly felt a very bad feeling, for a living person, this should be called the sixth sense, or a sense of crisis.
I tucked the bag containing the Blackstar Mercenary under my armpit and prepared to leave, there was so much information to digest that I didn't think I needed to stay here anymore.
"Slow down, can you tell me why you attach so much importance to this Black Star mercenary group and the employer behind it?" the man asked as he grabbed me and puzzled.
"Do you really want to know?" I asked, turning my head to look at him, after a few seconds.
He nodded and said, "A little interested." ”
