Chapter 6: The Assassination (Part II)
Gilson II's mansion has a very advanced security system, and the average civilian can't get past it, so those who try to throw feces or knock on sticks are basically useless. Slightly more powerful characters, such as killers, with specialized equipment and skills, can enter, but there is still a line of defense waiting for them, and that is the guards of Earl Gilson's Court.
The personal guards of the royal family were entitled to the title of "knight" in the empire, with a high status, and a salary in line with that of civil servants, but the guards of the nobles were miserable, the main problem was that they were not regular, and at best they could only be considered mercenaries, and often had the stigma of aiding and abusive, dog-legged, and so on.
Of course, no one wants to take on this kind of work, so the nobles usually go around the local HL direct army and get some people to take care of the home. Old Gilson did the same thing at the beginning, but this man was of bad character and notoriety. When a certain company commander heard that it was Earl Gilson, he didn't say a word, and sent a group of miscellaneous troops who "have no taste for food, and it's a pity to abandon them" to him, that is, some unqualified soldiers. Let them mix in the troops, firstly, it will affect the appearance of the army and the overall combat capability, and secondly, they are afraid that a rat feces will spoil a pot of soup. If you haven't made a big mistake, you can't just let people go home. Now it's all right, the Count wants someone, so you can go.
Then, on a hunting trip a few years ago, old Gilson disappeared along with this unruly group of soldiers......
Gilson II learned the lesson of his father, considering that there is a saying that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and he has done so many hurtful things, saying that he is not afraid in his heart, it is definitely a lie, in case one day a clever killer comes to the door, no one can resist it.
So, through layers of relationships, Gilson II found an organization called "Silver Shadow". Their number of members is unknown, but at least there are no less than a thousand, and no one knows who their leader is, and the only thing outsiders know is that if you are willing to pay enough money, they can provide reliable, powerful killers to help you kill or not let others kill you.
The guards of Gilson II's family are members of the Silver Shadow, a total of three people. They received sky-high salaries, lived in the rooms of the Earl's Court, and were responsible for twenty-four hours of uninterrupted security.
Although he was a nobleman, Gilson II knew nothing about the world of the able, and if he knew a thing or two, he should feel lucky, and the money he spent was well worth it. These three people are all real powerhouses of the same level, even if the three groups of transformers attack the Earl's Palace, they can easily resist it.
Silver Shadow can be said to be an unprincipled organization, they have no position, no matter who hired them, as long as they paid enough, their killers would dare to kill anyone.
And in this world, there is still a unique principled organization, and they don't have any position, no matter who hired them, as long as your target is damned, no matter how much money you give, even a dime, their assassins dare to kill anyone.
Gambling Snake, is a member of this organization, he is an assassin under the command of "Qianming", has a high status, in the territory of Shuangying County, all the casinos controlled by Qianming secretly, the manager behind the scenes is actually the gambling snake.
Tonight's mission is extraordinary, Gambler wants to assassinate Gilson II, the most powerful young nobleman in Twin Eagle County, who is a brother to the Governor, he is a rich country, he is the de facto monarch of this small kingdom. But in the eyes of the gambling snake, the relationship between Gilson II and Twin Eagle County is like an appendage that must be eliminated quickly.
The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire. The gambling snake invaded from a high altitude, and landed precisely on the roof of the mansion of the Earl's Court after parachuting, and the characteristic black parachute could quickly retract and hide his whereabouts after landing, but several subordinates patrolling the courtyard did not have the habit of looking up above, of course, there was no moon in the sky, it was so dark that it was in vain.
The gambling snake slid down the slope of the roof, hooked the edge with both feet, hung upside down naturally, easily picked the lock of the window with a hidden blade, and entered the house as soon as it turned over, the whole movement was quiet and fast, without making the slightest sound.
The Earl's Court has three floors, and the height of each floor varies, because the palace is decorated with all kinds of vassal and elegant artworks, such as large oil paintings, sculptures of famous artists, and some large chandeliers and other furniture, so each floor is very exaggerated height, and a three-story building is almost as tall as a six-story building of an ordinary resident's apartment.
The lights in the corridor are off, it's not that the count is so stingy that he saves money by not turning on the lights at night. Rather, it was Gilson II's rule for personal safety, simply put, facing the rooms and corridors outside the building, turning on the lights less and closing the curtains, he didn't want to be sent to the west by a sniper bullet fired from a few kilometers away in his home.
The reason why the code name of the gambling snake is a snake is precisely because of his style when he assassinated, hidden in the dark, silent, and fatal with a single blow.
But at this moment, something has happened beyond his expectations, when he came in just now, he really didn't feel too difficult, but in fact, there were sensors on the window that was pried open, and the security system of the Earl's Court was not only deployed around the perimeter of the mansion, but everywhere in the whole house, and after it was triggered, a silent alarm was issued.
Soon, Gilson II in the study received a communication from a security officer, he pressed the response button on the desk, and the security guard opposite was holding a walkie-talkie and said: "Lord Count, I received an alarm just now, it was from the corridor on the north side of the third floor. ”
Gilson II knew that the security system was very sensitive, and there were many false alarms, and sometimes the bird would be triggered when it stopped on the window edge, so he replied impatiently: "You can report this kind of thing after confirming it, and don't bother me again if there is no situation." ”
The voice on the other side immediately said, "Lord Earl, I am in that corridor now, and I see a window......" He said here, and stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong with the windows?" asked Gilson II, a little annoyed.
At this moment, in the north corridor, a dark figure was standing in the dark, holding a gun to the back of the security guard's head.
As if some cold-blooded animal had learned to speak, the dark shadow spoke in a low, cold voice: "Tell him that someone is coming to visit him." ”
The gambling snake learned about the existence of some kind of alarm device from the security guard's words just now, and realized that his whereabouts were likely to be exposed, so he took advantage of this to change his action strategy.
The security guard repeated to the walkie-talkie like a microphone, "Yes...... There's a guy who's saying he's coming to you. ”
Gilson II heard the anomaly, and his tone changed, and he asked tentatively, "Who is there?"
The last words of the security guard came from the computer: "The one who took your life." ”
Then, there was a strange noise, and a second later the sound of the walkie-talkie falling to the ground, and all five people in the study understood that someone was dead, and it was no joke.
Gilson II's forehead was bruised, and he connected to another line: "Listen, whoever it is, immediately take the lady and the young master to the safe room, and also, go and call those three idle guys out!"
