Chapter 182: Mercenary Summit

(3-in-1 Grand Chapter)

On the edge, Su Mo recently led the team out of the house and executed an off-site commission.

As soon as he returned to Crescent City, he learned the latest news about Operation Crow Hunting.

He called Schenkov: "Dude, congratulations, he became a superhero not long after he took office. ”

Schenkov's tone was indifferent, completely devoid of pride: "Nothing, nothing more than vanity." ”

Su Mo looked at the news replay on TV, squinted slightly, and said meaningfully: "I thought it would be a big move, but I didn't expect it to end so soon." ”

Schenkov: "Yes. ”

Su Mo was silent for a moment, and his voice lowered: "Those people are gone?" ”

Schenkov didn't speak, but this wordlessness was actually an answer in disguise.

This was also expected by Su Mo.

The border area is a strategic place used by the big names of Crescent City to balance the bottom.

The major groups on the border must remain divided and not united, or they will spiral out of control.

But you can't go too far in chaos, and if it's completely out of order, it's out of control.

In order to maintain checks and balances and keep the frontiers firmly under control, the "king selection" is the best way.

Use the prestige and power of the "King of the Frontier" to lure major groups to hostile each other, form blood feuds with each other, and fight bloodshed in order to become king, and it will never be possible to unite together.

At the same time, he secretly supported a certain group to take charge of the frontier as an agent.

A perfect place outside the law was born.

Wang Xuan, from beginning to end, is a ray of fire lit by the three giant enterprises, attracting countless moths to put out the fire.

The crow's nest failed in the king's election this time, and was suppressed by the wolf attack from the wild road, and it was inevitable that the master behind it would take action.

Although Su Mo didn't know what Schenkov had experienced, combined with his knowledge of the forces in Crescent City, he could vaguely guess something.

It's probably Alexander, Zhao Yiming, Ryuichi Tsukimi, or some other big man who has moved.

At this time, Schenkov said coldly: "Brother"

Su Mo: "What's wrong?" ”

Schenkov stopped talking, seemed very hesitant, and finally sighed and said: "I shouldn't have said this for my own sake, but who made you help me so much"

"The border groups have been loosening their mouths about the edge recently, you can rest assured, there won't be any attacks."

"But you have to be careful, because the incident with Simon a few days ago was targeted by a big man. Don't ask who it is, I really can't say it anymore. ”

Su Mo sighed secretly.

Sure enough, word spread.

After all, with his strength on the surface, it was really a bit incredible to kill a "Critical Primary" blood code carrier alone.

It is said that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong.

Fame has brought him a lot of connections and convenience.

And the price is to be targeted by some people who can't be provoked at the moment.

If this situation is taken in one step, it will be a catastrophe.

But on the contrary, if the good offices are good, it may not be another opportunity to take another leap forward.

Schenkov was able to withstand the pressure and tell him about the situation, even if it was just a mouthful, Su Mo felt that this person could handle it.

Su Mo said sincerely: "Thank you, brother, I will pay attention." ”

Schenkov: "Well, for now, take care. ”

Not long after the call with Schenkov ended, another call came in, it was Dress.

Dress's voice was in high spirits: "Hey, Old Su, come to the 66th floor of the Tower of Midsummer Nights at 7 o'clock tomorrow night." ”

Su Mo smiled: "That's a must, the annual Crescent City Mercenary Summit, how can I be absent from such a lively event." ”

Dressy touted: "That's good, this summit can be without anyone, but not you!" I've inquired, and this year's "Rookie of the Year" is you! ”

Su Mo replied with praise: "You are so happy, you must be the "Best Middleman of the Year". ”

Dressy laughed happily: "Ahahaha! False name, false name~ Then it's decided, see you tomorrow! ”

Mercenary Summit, an annual event for the mercenary community in Crescent City.

Although mercenaries are not officially recognized as an official profession, Crescent City, as the "mercenary capital", has long been an indispensable part of the city, and there is a complete industry ecosystem from top to bottom.

Every year, the Mercenary Summit is attended by accomplished intermediaries and mercenaries, which is not only an honor, but also an excellent occasion to expand your network.

The night of the Mercenary Summit.

The parking lot around the Midsummer Night's Tower in the lakeside business district is full of luxury cars, celebrities, and everyone is dressed in luxury clothes and smiles.

"Boom-boom-" With the sound of engines in the sky, a black floating car landed on the special landing pad, and the body that symbolized luxury and dignity instantly eclipsed other luxury cars and became the focus of the audience.

The car door opened, and Su Mo, who was wearing a Susserr No. 1 suit, walked out, and he had the temperament of a male star under the background of his clothes.

This time, Su Mo brought the first three companions who followed him.

Not for anything else.

Everyone used to live in a small dilapidated house and suffer together.

Now that it is developed, we must also enjoy happiness together.

KK, Dongdong, and Future got off one after another.

The first two got together, pointing at the lively scene, talking and laughing, looking very excited.

The future is indifferent to things other than experiments, yawning boredly, and a lazy appearance.

The four of them climbed to the 66th floor of the Midsummer Night Tower, where all the rooms were connected and arranged into a splendid venue.

The host of this year's summit is Zhou Hannian, the "King of Mercenaries" of Crescent City, who contracted all the expenses and related matters, and you can also see the dead scythe mercenaries in charge of security work on the spot.

Well-dressed celebrities are chatting and laughing here, and all of them are representatives sent by large companies or consortia.

When Dresser saw Su Mo, he greeted him directly: "Hey, our Grand Master Su is here." ”

"Good evening, old D." Su Mo smiled and shook hands with him.

Dresser looked at Dong Dong, looked up and down, and deliberately said in an exclamatory tone: "Dong Da Mei is also here, and she is much taller than the last time I saw her." ”

Dong Dong was so happy that his tail was about to be exposed: "I love to hear this!" We'll have a few drinks later, and we won't get drunk or go home! ”

Dressy looked to the future and joked: "Oh~ Why is there still a red panda?" ”

The future yawns very appropriately, and his head is little by little, drowsy.

Su Mo smiled: "She stayed up late again yesterday, let someone bring her a cup of cold coffee." ”

"No problem, I'll have someone hand grind it later." Dresser looked at KK at the back and said, "This-"

He dragged out his voice very long, and quietly poked Su Mo's waist with his elbow: "Sir or Miss?" ”

Su Mo almost burst out laughing.

It's no wonder that Dresser misunderstood, KK was already too delicate, and his skin was whiter and more delicate than before after the diet was improved, and it was really difficult to distinguish the gender at first glance.

KK is the same as Dongdong, and he is an e person, and he got up directly and started the show on the spot.

With his hands in his pockets, he raised his chin coawardly, and flicked his tongue at Dress, "Hey, old D, meet for the first time." Everyone on the road respectfully calls me Master K. ”

Dresser is also an old fritter, with extremely high emotional intelligence, and directly knelt down on one knee to hold KK's hand, and said like a pious knight: "Master K! I was courteous under it! ”

This hand made KK dare not act, he hurriedly laughed and went to help Dress: "Just kidding, just call me Little K"

Dressy laughed and beckoned to everyone: "The summit is about to start, let's go." ”

Summer led the three of them behind Dress, keeping a short distance.

Su Mo lowered his voice and asked, "What do you think of Old D?" ”

Dong Dong didn't think twice: "The person is very good, and it is very comfortable to talk to him." ”

KK also nodded: "Humorous and generous, can joke, and is also very friendly." ”

Su Mo touched the heads of the two, looked at Dress, who was constantly greeting acquaintances in front of him, and said meaningfully, "You two are still too young. ”

"Dressy is a very urban man. When you are developed, he is really good to you and will treat you as a brother, because he knows that he can get far more from you in return. ”

"But if one day you're down"

KK asked tentatively, "He's going to kick you?" ”

Su Mo smiled briefly, squinted his eyes and said, "I hope there won't be that day." ”

The four of them came to the main hall, and Su Mo was placed in the VIP position, surrounded by the famous big mercenaries and big middlemen in Crescent City.

In order to express his respect, Su Mo took the red wine and went to the two intermediaries who had taken care of him many times: "Old D, Earl's Lady, the junior will give you a glass." ”

O'Diana attended the summit today in her real body, she wore delicate light makeup, wore a flaming red evening dress, and her well-maintained face and figure looked like a girl in her early twenties, and she couldn't tell that she was in her thirties at all.

She held a cigarette gun in one hand, and elegantly picked up her wine glass with the other hand to salute Su Mo: "Grand Master Su is a celebrity now, why is he still so polite?" ”

Su Mo said sincerely: "Without the support of my predecessors, where would I be today?" Juniors are always juniors. ”

A hint of joy appeared in O'Diana's eyes, and she smiled: "Famous in the city, but he can be calm, and he is a talent who does great things." You are the protagonist today, enjoy this enjoyable evening. ”

Dressy poked and poked secretly: "Lao Su is happy, but some people are not happy." ”

He finished his speech and glanced at a small round table not far away.

Su Mo followed his line of sight and saw two "acquaintances".

One is a man in an expensive suit with a vertical midpart.

His name is "Kim Taewoo", and he is also a middleman in Crescent City, whose influence is no less than that of Dresser and O'Diana.

And the two sides belong to the "opposite family" in a sense.

Because the big proprietor behind Kim Taewoo is a co-op company.

And the backstage of Dressy and O'Diana is an iron-blooded combination.

Another "acquaintance" is Ou Chenyu, who is toasting Kim Taewoo.

O'Diana asked, "Old D, didn't Ou Chenyu mess with you?" How did you get to Kim Tae-woo? ”

Dress's expression became displeased: "I can't disclose the specific situation, anyway, there was a commission, and he did things very badly, and he inexplicably poured his anger on me, so I reduced the frequency of cooperation with him." ”

"He couldn't eat enough at my place, so he ran to mess with Kim Taewoo, and we haven't interacted with each other anymore."

The initiator, Su Mo, tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Odiana reminded: "Su Mo, you'd better stay away from Ou Chenyu usually, he should hate you to death now." ”

Sumer: "Oh? How so? ”

O'Diana: "Earlier this year, the industry unanimously agreed that Ou Chenyu would be the rookie of the year, after all, his strength is indeed very strong, and the battle to eliminate An Qinghui has brought his reputation to the top. ”

"But he didn't make any achievements later, and when he met you, a super newcomer who was born out of nowhere, the limelight and reputation were all robbed by you, do you say he hates you?"

As if to confirm Odiana's words, Ou Chenyu looked sideways, and his gaze fell on Su Mo, his eyes full of hostility.

Regarding the Ou Chenyu he was facing, Su Mo judged early on that he was taking the "demon route".

Ou Chenyu of this route has no morality in his heart, only interests, and is extremely eager for wealth and fame, and he can do whatever it takes to climb up, and even his brothers can sell it.

And he is narrow-minded and will be retributed, but anyone who provokes him, even if there is no direct dispute, just makes him feel unhappy and jealous, he will be maimed or even killed.

Su Mo's previous methods of dealing with Ou Chenyu were very hidden, and there was no conflict between the two sides on the surface.

But the end result is clear.

The "Rookie of the Year" that should have belonged to Ou Chenyu fell to Su Mo.

Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough to make Ou Chenyu jealous.

Previously, when Su Mo had not yet gained a firm foothold, he was very jealous of this "protagonist".

But now that he has the strength, connections, and backstage, he is no longer afraid of Ou Chenyu.

The plan to completely eliminate the protagonist of the original work is also already being calculated.

Su Mo took a sip of the mellow red wine in the glass and smiled deeply: "It's okay, he can't play with me." ”

The process of the summit is traditional.

Speeches were made by the speakers.

Awards.

Winner's speech.

Continue to present awards.

It's boring.

When Dresses accepted the award, he gave everyone a talk show, and the atmosphere was a little lively.

Su Mo memorized a passage anyway, bowed and stepped down.

After the awards, it was time for the highlight of the summit - the dinner.

The dinner was held in the form of a cocktail reception, with a large space and a duplex structure, divided into two floors by a staircase.

On the lower level is the dining area, which is filled with drinks and meals at your disposal.

On the upper level is the stage area, where you can listen to music, dance the night away on the dance floor, or just move around freely.

If a mercenary wants to climb up to a well-known middleman, or if the middleman wants to expand his network, this is the perfect place for conversation.

As this year's rookie of the year, Su Mo is surrounded by several middlemen, talking, laughing, drinking and socializing, and he can't tell for the time being.

The future lies on a comfortable sofa and falls asleep.

Dong Dong runs around the dining area downstairs, showing off everywhere, and is captured by all kinds of delicacies.

KK is more embarrassed, his companions are in trouble, and the attendees don't know him as a little person, and no one pays attention to him.

After thinking about it, KK decided to go to the dining area downstairs to find Dongdong to cook with him.

Eat more, fill your stomach, and you should save food money on the edge.

KK trotted to the staircase, and Ou Chenyu happened to walk up.

Ou Chenyu was jealous and hated Su Mo, and naturally he would not be friendly to Su Mo's companions, and he was glancing at KK coldly.

KK was the first to follow Su Mo, and he was the only one on the entire rim who knew that Su Mo had murderous intent towards Ou Chenyu.

At this time, Ou Chenyu came head-on, KK didn't dare to look at him, and walked down with his head bored.

The two passed by.

Ou Chenyu deliberately stretched out his elbow and pushed back.

The impact from his back caused KK to lose his balance, and his feet were empty, and his vision was turned upside down.

This one made him defenseless, and he didn't even have time to protect his head with his hands, and fell face down.

If you want to break it, you have to break your front teeth.

Luckily, Dressy and O'Diana happened to be on their way up.

Dressy saw someone fall and screamed to get out of the way.

O'Diana subconsciously took it.

"Boom!"

KK collided with O'Diana, and the two fell down the stairs and slipped a few knots, but fortunately the fall was not heavy.

O'Diana clutched her broken elbow and frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”

KK was inexplicably like this, and was very angry, pointing at Ou Chenyu and scolding: "He pushed me!" ”

Ou Chenyu stood on it and sneered: "Boy, you didn't step on it yourself and fell down, can this depend on me?" ”

The nearby guests were at a loss, no one saw what had just happened, and they didn't make a fuss.

“KK! Lady Earl! Su Mo hurriedly rushed over when he heard the sound and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

O'Diana glanced at her elbow and said lightly, "Minor injury." ”

KK also whispered, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Su Mo's eyes turned cold: "Is it Ou Chenyu who pushed you?" ”

Ou Chenyu's movements were very small, and others may not have seen it.

But KK himself knows very well that it was he who pushed it.

But at this time, Su Mo asked in person, and KK hesitated again.

He knew that Su Mo had been planning to deal with Ou Chenyu for a long time.

He was worried that the current conflict would affect his eldest brother's plan, so he pressed his grievances and prepared to endure it.

He just wanted to deny it, but Su Mo spoke up first, and his tone was unquestionable: "Tell me the truth, don't hide it from me, is it Ou Chenyu pushing you?" ”

Facing Su Mo's resolute gaze, KK only hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "He pushed it." ”

Su Mo strode up the steps, confronted Ou Chenyu head-on, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean?" ”

The atmosphere was tense, and the guests looked at the two mercenary rookies who had become famous this year.

Ou Chenyu is not a good stubble, he let out a short sneer, and asked in a provocative tone: "What can you do?" ”

Sumer: "I can you." ”

"Whew-" The bones of the madness wrapped around Su Mo's fist, and it slammed into Ou Chenyu's face like a heavy cannonball.

Ou Chenyu didn't expect Su Mo to be so crazy and dare to do it at the summit site.

However, he was also the leader of the mercenary group who had experienced a hundred battles, and his fighting nerves reacted in an instant, and he grabbed Su Mo's wrist violently and stopped his attack.

The two were of equal strength, Su Mo's fist had just been pressed, raised, pushed back, and pushed back.

The clicking sound of the joint bearing was endless, and Su Mo and Ou Chenyu were all green muscles jumping on their foreheads.

After a moment of stalemate, Ou Chenyu's eyes were extremely angry, he shook off Su Mo's fist suddenly, and turned his body to bring out a powerful roundabout kick.

"Boom!"

The whirling kick hit Su Mo's frenzied bones, and the huge force actually hit a slight crack on it, and the two of them fell back several steps at the same time under the impact of the impact, and stared at each other coldly after standing firm.

The next moment, the two stepped forward at the same time again, and their speed was up and down, and they both pulled into two twisted afterimages, attacking each other with the power of thunder.

The sound of the battle clashing was endless, and the sudden chaos caused the surrounding guests to exclaim and avoid it.

Just when the two were inseparable, an afterimage several times faster than them rushed to the middle.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With two muffled sounds, the attacks of the two were stopped at the same time.

I saw the tall Zhou Hannian standing in the middle, grabbing the wrists of the two with his left and right hands respectively, making them unable to move like iron tongs, and the gentleman's suit was not messy in the slightest.

Seeing that the scene was under control, the others also hurried up to persuade them.

O'Diana stopped Su Mo and reassured, "Calm down, this is not a place for conflict. ”

Jin Taiyu also grabbed Ou Chenyu's shoulder and whispered: "What are you doing?" Fight here?! ”

Zhou Hannian shook off the two of them, and the huge strength made them both stagger, and they almost didn't stand firm.

Zhou Hannian: "Get out." ”

Ou Chenyu twisted his neck and made a clicking sound, and raised his middle finger at Su Mo to provoke: "Go, go out and do it." ”

Zhou Hannian looked at him: "I'll let you out." ”

Ou Chenyu was stunned, and his tone was very unconvinced: "He moved first, why did he drive me away?" ”

Zhou Hannian said coldly: "Stretch your elbows for a while, thinking that your small movements are well hidden, and no one will find out, right?" ”

The muscles on Ou Chenyu's face twitched, and he was speechless.

Zhou Hannian pointed to the door of the venue: "Go out, I don't welcome people who dare to be unrecognizable." ”

Ou Chenyu pursed his lips, his angry eyes were full of unwillingness, he only felt hot all over his body, and his face was hot.

In front of the king of mercenaries, he didn't dare to make a mistake, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and left.

When passing by Su Mo's side, he whispered a cruel word: "We'll see." ”

After Ou Chenyu left, the venue slowly returned to its original atmosphere, and everyone continued to talk and laugh, pretending that the episode just now did not happen.

Su Mo just wanted to say thank you, but Zhou Hannian directly interrupted him: "It's a good thing to protect your companions, but you should also distinguish the occasion, newcomer." ”

He threw down this overt and deprecating sentence, and left directly, ignoring Su Mo again.

At this time, Dong Dong put orange juice in his left hand and pizza in his right hand, and probed from the staircase: "What are you doing up there, why is it knocking and knocking?" ”

Su Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, eat you." ”

Dong Dong blinked, didn't think much about it, and went back to continue cooking.

KK stood next to Su Mo with his head down, looking very embarrassed: "Big brother, did I hurt you?"

Su Mo patted him on the back and smiled softly, "What do you think." If this kind of thing doesn't stand up for you, am I still worthy of being a big brother? You go and play with Dongdong first, and I'll take the Count's lady some medicine. ”

Although Su Mo didn't mind, KK still felt a sense of loss.

He always felt that the value of his existence was getting worse and worse.

When he first followed Su Mo before, he still had the skills to be a thief, and he could help by deceiving and stealing.

But over this time, he seems to have become a burden.

He is neither as good as Dong Dong, nor does he have the skills of the future.

said to be a logistical worker, those complex and difficult professional knowledge are very slow to learn, and they are not as good as the new clerks.

Every day, there is food and drink on the edge, which is refreshing, but the more refreshing it is, the more uneasy it feels, and it always feels like floating in the clouds, light and fluttering, and it will fall down at any time.

Today, there is such a bad thing, which caused the eldest brother to be embarrassed by Zhou Hannian.

He wanted to talk to Su Mo, but he didn't know how to talk about such a thing.

He looked at Su Mo's departing back and sighed softly.
