Shanhai City.

As mentioned before, if Xiongguan City is an important military city in the north, then Shanhai City is a city of commerce and trade in the north.

As the most developed city in the north, there are naturally countless merchants of all sizes here. To put it mildly, a random brick was thrown down the street and hit ten people, at least seven or eight of whom were in business. However, in this huge group of merchants who are like carp crossing the river, if anyone mentions the name of the merchant Zachary, most of the people in the city will raise their thumbs to express their heartfelt appreciation and respect!

This reputation is not due to Zackery's wealth, in fact, although he is not a lot of money, he is not the most successful businessman in the city. But if it's the kindest rich man in the city, it's Zachary who is the first to speak!

Churches were repaired, the poor were almsged, and bread and cotton clothes were distributed to the homeless free of charge...... But when it comes to good deeds, this Zachary is very generous and never falls behind. And what is even more rare is that he has been doing this for decades, never stopping. It has truly achieved the power of one person to reverse the bad impression of businessmen who are mercenary.

Some people even joked that if Zachary were to be on the assassination list of the Thieves Guild one day, no local thief would be willing to take on the task, no matter how high the bounty was.

This is a real good man, and now this good man's mood is a little depressed......

The room was closed, with only a long table and a few wooden chairs. Zachary sat at the head of the table, pinching his eyebrows, his red rich face was a little dark, he was silent for a moment, and he opened his eyes and looked at the more than ten middle-aged and elderly people on the left and right: "In this way, not only have we not been able to find each other now. Even if the other party is male or female. How many people don't know?"

"Yes. President. A middle-aged man on the left side said stubbornly, "The closest thing is in Xiaoye City the day before yesterday, the other party shot the head of the branch guild with an arrow a few hundred meters away, and when our people caught up, they were gone. ”

After a pause, "The strength of the other party is very strong, and the ability to disguise and hide is even better, and the professional trackers on our side can't see the slightest trace, and the key is ...... The scale of the other party exposed is not much. Some even fought alone, and with such a slip-and-go assassination style, it was difficult for us to determine their identity. ”

Hearing this, Zachary held his forehead, and his expressionless face couldn't see his joy and anger: "Hehe, the huge Bounty Hunter Guild has been tricked around by the other party, and I don't know who the enemy is...... Well, can anyone tell me it's just humor, though it's not funny. ”

The room was silent......

Speaking of which, needless to say. The famous good man in this mountain and sea city is also the high-level of the Bounty Hunters Guild. In fact, this Zachary is the guild leader. Responsible for managing all things the guild in the north of Bran.

Seeing that no one answered, Zachary's expression was even darker, and his eyelids raised: "Piri, you are in charge of guild intelligence, now give me some information about the other party." ”

The middle-aged man's face was bitter when he heard the words just now, but he still hesitated and said, "President, according to the existing intelligence analysis, the other party should be an organization similar to ours. Their intelligence is equally powerful, and they can find out the addresses of our branch guilds. At the same time, the size of their team responsible for assassination should not be large, and the number of people should not exceed a hundred. However, the strength is very strong, especially good at all kinds of assassination, weird and unpredictable. ”

After a pause, he carefully glanced at Zachary's expression, "The other party's first assassination location is in Silverstone City, and we have sent someone to investigate, and there is no progress for the time being......"

"Shut up, stupid!" snorted, his usually kind and loving face was a little hideous, and Zachary's eyes were cold, "I don't want to listen to these rotten things, now, immediately, immediately circle my target object!"

"Yes, yes......" Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Piri kept nodding his head, and said resignedly, "The only people around Silverstone City who can have this kind of intelligence ability are the official liliang, and there are ......."

"Well, what else?" Shaking his head regretfully, Zachary got up calmly and walked behind Piri, reaching out and gently putting his hand on the latter's shoulder, "Continue. ”

"And ...... There is also the intelligence agency of the Gray Army. Piri's body trembled slightly, and dense beads of sweat continued to slide down his sideburns.

Nodding, he reached out and took out the short knife from his arms, "Gray Army...... That's one, and what else?"

"Also, there ......" his throat kept moving, although Piri couldn't see the situation behind him, but looking at the eyes of several people on the other side with some pity, he undoubtedly realized something, and his face turned pale in an instant, "There is also a public ...... There may be an inward and an inward mole within the guild!"

"Heh, mole...... That's your conclusion?" Zachary smiled and frowned, "The guild is a one-line communication, and if you can know the addresses of so many branch guilds, that's just us...... So, you suspect me of being a mole?"

"No, no, no...... Not you, certainly not you!"

"Not me...... Yes, that's you!"

The words fell, poof...... Blood splattered, and the blade of the short blade pierced completely into the back of the skin. Bang, Piri's eyes bulged, and he pulled the table with both hands a few times as if he wanted to get up and resist, but in the end he only left a few deep scratches, unable to lie on his stomach, and remained silent.

Letting go of the wooden handle of the short knife, the famous good man in the city looked indifferent, looked down at the blood stained on his hands, wiped a few times on his leather clothes with an expressionless face, turned his head to look around, looked at the stiff bodies of several high-level people around him, and spread his hands: "Okay, the traitor has been removed." I'll hand him over to the top and say we'll fix it as soon as possible. Any comments?"

Topmost...... Several high-level executives shook their heads when they heard this, sniffing the smell of blood, and there was no longer a sense of sadness in their hearts, and they kept shaking their heads.

"That's good. Sitting back in the wooden chair, Zachary continued to pinch his eyebrows, "Guys, there's a lot of pressure on there." I almost leaked the news in Mountain Creek City before, and now it's happening again. Well, I don't want to know who the other person is right now, I just want to know how to quickly understand this...... Give some advice!"

After a pause, an old man with frosty white temples hesitated and said, "The main reason why we are so passive now is that we don't know what the other party's purpose is. Or...... Negotiating, right?"

"What are you kidding!" A middle-aged man immediately expressed strong opposition when he heard this, "We are the Bounty Hunters Guild! How can we be beaten like this without retaliation, and take the initiative to invite the other party to make peace?"

"You're going to wait for me to finish......"

"The key is the pressure ...... above"

......

Although there were only a few people in the room, it was still a bit confusing to talk about each other. In fact, those who can achieve their position are naturally resolute people. But it has to be said that the strength of the Bounty Hunter Guild and the long-term comfortable life have consumed their ruthlessness, and they are a little forward-looking and hesitant to make decisions.

Of course, what is more critical is the 'pressure from above' that they are so secretive about, forcing them to make hasty decisions.

"Quiet!" Zachary frowned as he slapped the table, looking at the old man who was proposing to negotiate, "and continued. ”

"My jihua is simple, invite to negotiate and then look at the attitude of the other party. In this way, no matter what, at least we can know the identity and purpose of the other party, and even if the zuihou talk collapses, the response will not be as passive as it is now, and ...... Doing so can also give an account of the above. ”

As if moved by this zuihou words, Zachary raised his eyebrows, muttered for a while, squinted his old eyes, and was full of essence: "You can invite negotiations, but you can't lose the face of the Bounty Hunters Guild." Identity, purpose...... I'd rather be pressed when I catch them!"

"President, do you mean......" The middle-aged man who had previously fiercely opposed was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately pushed his chair up, "No problem, I'll go and mobilize the masters over." As long as they dare to show up, they will die without a place to bury!"

Nodding, "Well, then the question now is how to pass the news to the other party, Piri, where is the other party killing now......" After a pause, Zachary turned his head to look at Piri lying in a pool of blood and was stunned, shaking his head slightly, "Oh, poor Piri, I'm really sorry." But there is always someone who bears the responsibility, and I can't help it, I hope you can return to the embrace of the god of light......"

His eyes drooped slightly, and Zachary made a prayer gesture on his chest, his expression full of sincere sadness, and he looked like a good man......
