Mountains and seas.

As mentioned before, if Xiongguan City is a military city in the north, then Shanhai City is the northern city of commerce.

As the most developed city in the north, there are naturally countless merchants of all sizes. To put it bluntly, a brick was thrown down on the street and hit ten people, at least seven or eight of them were doing business. However, among this huge group of merchants who were like a crossing the river, if anyone mentioned the name of Zachley, most of the people in the city would raise their thumbs up and express their sincere appreciation and respect!

Such a reputation is not because of Zachley's wealth. In fact, although he is not rich, he is not the most successful businessman in the city. However, if you comment on the kindest rich man in the city, then the first thing you talk about is Zachley!

Repairing the church, helping the poor, and giving bread and cotton coats to the homeless people free of charge... Zachley is very generous in any good deeds and never falls behind. What's even more rare is that he has been doing this for decades, never stopping. He has truly achieved the bad impression of merchants being profit-oriented with one person.

Some people even joked that if Zachley was on the assassination list of the thieves union one day, no matter how high the bounty was, there would not be a local thief willing to take on this task.

This is a real good man, but now this good man is in a little depressed mood...

The room was closed, with only a long table and a few wooden chairs. Zachley sat at the top of the table, pinching his eyebrows, his rich face with a red face was a little dark, silent for a moment, and opened his eyes to look at more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people on the left and right sides: "So, we have not only failed to find each other now, but even the other person is a man or a woman. How many people don't know?"

"Yes, President." A middle-aged man in his left hand said with a thorn in his mouth, "The closest thing to it was in Xiaoye City the day before yesterday. The other party shot and killed the head of the branch guild hundreds of meters away. After our people chased after him, they disappeared."

After a moment of pause, "The other party is very strong and his ability to hide is even more amazing. Our professional trackers can't see any trace. And the key is... the scale exposed by the other party is not large, and some are even individual combat. It is difficult for us to determine their identity in such an assassination style that can move away with it."

Zachley held his forehead with his expression on his face, and could not tell his joy and anger: "Haha, the big bounty hunter guild was fooled by the other party and didn't tell me. I still don't know who the enemy is... Well, who can tell me that this is just humor, although it's not funny."

The room was silent...

Speaking of this, it goes without saying that the famous good man in Shanhai City is the senior management of the Bounty Hunter Guild. That's the fact that Zachley is the guild branch president and is responsible for managing all the things in the guild north of Bran.

Seeing that no one replied, Zachley's expression was even more dim and raised his eyelids: "Pili, you are responsible for the guild information. Now give me some information about the other party."

The middle-aged man just now looked bitter when he heard this. However, he still hesitated and said: "President, based on the existing intelligence analysis, the other party should be an organization similar to ours. Their intelligence capabilities are equally strong and can find the addresses of our branches and guilds in various places. At the same time, the team they are responsible for assassination should not be large, and the number of people will not exceed 100. However, they are very strong, especially good at various assassination methods, which are strange and unpredictable."

He paused and looked carefully at Zachley's expression, "The first assassination of the other party was in Silverstone City. We have sent someone to investigate, and there is no progress for the time being..."

"Shut up! Idiot!" He shouted suddenly, his usual kind and kind face was a little hideous, Zachley's eyes shone coldly, "I don't want to hear these bad things. Now, immediately, immediately encircle me the target!"

"Yes, yes..." Pulling his forehead, Piri kept nodding and said submissively, "The only ones that can have such intelligence capabilities around Silverstone City are the official power, and there are also... "

"Yeah, what else?" Shaking his head regretfully, Zachley stood up calmly and walked behind Piri, reached out and gently put his hand on the latter's shoulder, "Continue."

"And...there are the intelligence agencies of the gray-clothed army." Piri's body trembled slightly, and dense beads of sweat kept sliding down from her sideburns.

Nodded, he reached out and took out a short knife from his arms, "Grey-clothed army... this is one, what else?"

"And, and..." Her throat kept whirling. Although Pili couldn't see the situation behind, she undoubtedly realized something when she looked at the people on the other side with some pity, and her face was instantly pale, "And it's the male... the guild may have an insider, a traitor!"

"Ha, traitor... is this your conclusion?" Zachley smiled, frowned, "The guild contacts are all single lines. If you can know so many branches and guild addresses, that's just us... So, do you suspect I'm a traitor?"

"No, no, no...not you, of course not you!"

"It's not me... Well, that's you!"

After the words were finished, puff... blood splattered everywhere, and the short blade completely pierced into the back of the skin. Bang, the skin raised its eyes and pulled the table with both hands a few times, as if it wanted to get up to resist, but in the end it was just a few deep scratches left, and it was powerless to lie down and remained silent.

Releasing 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 the leather clothes expressionlessly, turned around, looked at the stiff upper-level officials around him, spreading his hands: "Okay, the traitor has been removed. I will hand him over to the top later and say we will solve this matter as soon as possible. Do you have any objections?"

Above... Several senior officials were shocked when they heard this, and smelled the bloody smell of the rabbit and the fox no longer felt sad, and kept shaking their heads.

"That's good." Sit back on the wooden chair, Zachley continued to pinch his eyebrows, "Everyone, the pressure on it is very high. I almost leaked the news in Shanxi City before, but now this incident has happened again. Well, I don't want to know who the other party is now, I just want to know how to quickly understand this matter... Give some advice!"

After a pause, an old man with white hair on his hair 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... negotiations?"

"What a joke!" A middle-aged man immediately expressed strong opposition when he heard this, "We are the Bounty Hunter Guild! How could he be beaten like this without revenge, and he still actively invites the other party to negotiate?"

"You wait for me to finish..."

"The key is the pressure above..."

...

Although there were only a few people in the house, they were still a little confused. In fact, those who could achieve their position were naturally decisive people. But it has to be said that the strength of the Bounty Hunter Guild and the long-term comfortable life have eroded their ruthlessness, and they were a little hesitant to make decisions.

Of course, what is more important is that the "upper pressure" that made them secretly forced them to make a hasty decision.

"Quiet!" Zachley frowned and looked at the old man who proposed the negotiation, "and then said."

"My plan is very simple. Invite negotiations and then look at the other party's attitude. In this way, no matter what, at least we can know the other party's identity and purpose. Even if the negotiations finally collapse, we will not be as passive as we are now. And... we can explain to the above."

As if moved by this last sentence, Zachley's eyebrows moved, pondered for a while, squinted his old eyes, and shined: "You can invite negotiations, but the face of the Bounty Hunter Guild cannot be lost. Identity, purpose... I hope to force me to ask after I catch them!"

"President, are you talking..." The middle-aged man who had previously fiercely opposed it was happy and immediately pushed the chair and stood up. "No problem, I will mobilize the masters here. As long as they dare to show up, they will definitely die without a place to die!"

Nodded, "Well, the question now is how to pass the news to the other party, Piri, where is the other party going to kill now..." After a pause, Zachley turned his head and looked at Piri who was lying in a pool of blood. He shook his head slightly, "Oh, poor Piri, I'm so sorry. But there is always someone who has to take responsibility, and I have no choice. I hope you can return to the embrace of God of Light..."

His eyes drooped slightly, Zachley was slashing prayer gestures on his chest, his expression full of sincere sadness, and he looked like a kind person...
