Chapter 18 Seemingly free is the loneliest, easy but hard.

A week later, somewhere in Washington City.

"Jingle bells."

A block of ice falls into a glass, and the ice cube and the cup make a crisp crashing sound. Then, a stream of Scotch whisky with brownish, yellowish and reddish color, clear and translucent, burnt smell and strong smoke was poured into the glass.

Illuminated by the light, the glass reflects an amber glow under the influence of the whisky, like a fine work of art rather than a simple drink.

A pair of large fat hands, holding a glass full of whiskey in one hand, left the counter and walked towards the couch, where a guest was waiting for him.

The owner of the big hand is Eric Bauer, who is the mayor of Washington and a staunch ally of the Vinci family, although he himself is a big man and a little good-looking.

But there was a beautiful and lovely daughter who married into Finch's family, so his family became close to Finch's family.

In fact, this practice is very common, and there has been a custom of marriage between the Bauer family and the Finch family for almost a century, and Eric's wife is also a woman of the Finch family. This also makes the relationship between the two families closer, and they are in the same boat through thick and thin, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

And today he is his wife's brother and uncle, John Fincher.

Bauer came to the sofa and sat down, and handed a glass of whiskey to John: "This time, in order to deal with that Li Ping'an, it won't be such a big battle, a professional assassin can solve this matter." ”

Although Bauer looks like a stout bear, his voice is unusually calm and powerful, and it sounds like a kind of magic that makes people believe in him.

John Finch didn't answer him, just turned the glass in his hand, looked at the ice ball slowly melting in the glass, felt the coolness in his hand, and then closed his eyes and took a deep sip of the aroma of whiskey in his hand.

"Scotch whisky, aged for at least 16 years, this bottle has a market price of at least a few hundred dollars. Bauer, you really have a good taste in drinking. "Finch doesn't talk about things, only about wine.

"I don't have time to tell the difference between good and bad wines, but I believe that good things often have a lot of price, so I'd rather let the price sift through the drinks for me than spend my precious time tasting them."

Bauer's remark is talking about people, not wine.

Seeing that Bauer was not willing to listen to himself go around in circles, John also put down his glass and responded positively to Bauer's question just now: "A person who can defeat the original leader of the Ten Rings and subdue the entire Ten Rings by force, I don't think that assassin can kill him." The Vinci and Bauer families must once again work together against them to survive this difficult time. ”

John didn't beat around the bush, and chose to explain directly why the family chose to unite. Because he knew that although his brother-in-law looked stupid, he was actually shrewd and capable, and his family's situation could not be hidden from him.

"Recently, many of the Fincher family supporters have died, and all of them have died inexplicably, heart attacks, strokes, and one member of Congress actually drowned in a pond in shorts."

Speaking of this, Bauer couldn't help but sneer, and then continued: "What's even more ridiculous is that after on-site investigation and inspection, it was said that the deceased was wearing swimming shorts and had no scars on the surface of his body, and he died of drowning. That's ridiculous. ”

Bauer put down the wine glass in his hand and laughed, almost tears burst into tears: "You know, this method is really ridiculous, but it is reported in the newspaper, it is simply to coax other people as fools, the key is that this trick is also extremely effective, this matter actually came over without any waves, you say ridiculous." ”

"The Sword Comes"

John's face was gloomy, and he knew that Bauer's ridiculousness was not just about reporting that a councillor had drowned in a river despite the dangers, but also at the fact that the Finch family had weakened their protection of their supporters.

But there is no way, the Finch family is indeed not the opponent of the Ten Rings, it can be said that it is far inferior, but for some reason, the Ten Rings can obviously use thunder to destroy the Finch family, but they are unhurried, teasing the Finch family like a cat and mouse, which makes him, a member of the Finch family, feel ashamed and angry.

"Boom!"

John angrily slammed his glass on the table, and the amber whiskey spilled all over the table, and John lost his previous elegance.

"What's so funny about this......" He had just said when he was interrupted by another voice.

"What's so funny about that." A dissatisfied voice suddenly appeared in the room where only the two of them should exist.

Bauer and John were startled from their seats at the same time. At the same time, Bauer quickly pulled out a revolver from the side of the couch and aimed it at the young man who appeared next to the wine cabinet.

"I came up with this reason myself, do you think it's ridiculous?" The young man looked insulted, and looked at John and Bauer dissatisfied.

The two people who heard this were shocked, and Bauer reacted first: "Is it the parliamentarian you killed?" ”

At this time, drops of cold sweat rolled down his broad head, and if it was the councilor this guy killed, then it was self-evident what he was here for. The key is how this guy quietly broke through his own defense system and entered the inside of the study.

"Who are you, turn around slowly, don't play tricks, or I'll shoot!" Although nervous, the revolver in his hand gave him a little more confidence.

However, the visitor was still calm, and slowly took out a clean wine glass from the wine cabinet, took out a crystal clear ice cube from the ice box, and threw it into the glass.

"Jingle bells." "Bang bang!"

The sound of the ice cubes and the glass colliding with the glass, which sounded crisp and pleasant, now sounded like a sharp knife, which stimulated Bauer's nervous nerves, causing him to subconsciously shoot at the incoming person, quickly emptying the bullets in the wheel.

"Whew, whew, whew." Bauer gasped heavily, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

The unhurried momentum of the person who came gave him a lot of mental pressure, and he always had the illusion that he was going to die in the next moment.

He swallowed hard and slammed it down, making a 'goo-dong' sound.

"Is it dead?" John stared intently ahead, his face slightly tilted to the side of Bauer, and asked nervously.

"No, it's fine." It was the mysterious visitor who spoke, who answered John's question, and then poured the whiskey into the glass unhurriedly.

The amber liquid flowed freely in the glass, but it was always confined to the square inch and could not be left.

Looking at this scene, Li Ping'an lost the interest in drinking, he put down the poured wine glass again, and slowly walked out of the shadows, revealing a cold face.

John, who recognized the person, had weak legs and sat down on the sofa: "Lee... Li Ping'an. ”

His voice trembled, and there was a great fear in it, which was the basic reverence of living beings for death.

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Li Ping'an waved his hand, and a bloody mouth appeared in the air, which was a hungry symbiote suit.

In the next moment, Ball and John disappeared into thin air.

The symbiote suit burped and slowly retreated into Li Ping'an's body.

A depressed aura still lingered in Li Ping'an's heart and could not be dissipated, who would have thought that a glass of wine could make Li Ping'an feel so depressed.

Li Ping'an felt that he was like the wine in the wine glass just now, seemingly wanton and cheerful, but in fact, he was just doing something wrong in the square inch of the earth, and he was still 108,000 miles away from freedom.

"Mr. Li Ping'an, it seems that you are not in a very good mood, are you interested in chatting with me, an old man, and tell me what's going on."

The corners of Li Ping'an's mouth hooked a cruel smile: "Mephisto, you're finally here!" ”
