Chapter 57: Peaceful and Quiet Neighborhood ~ Ask for a Monthly Pass~)
Vulture is Berg's nickname.
Ever since he became a 'free mercenary', he has adopted this nickname.
Because he knew very well what impact the disclosure of his real name would have on him. If he wanted to save enough money to return to his hometown and live a wealthy and safe life, it would be best to forget his real name temporarily.
This was his guide and what his teacher ‘taught’ him.
He always kept it in mind.
Because, his teacher was killed by his men the second year after he retired.
Why?
Of course it’s for the money!
He had long coveted his teacher's ever generous pension.
Unfortunately, when several people divide the money, the seemingly generous pension becomes less than that.
Vulture wanted to kill several partners, but these partners were extremely shrewd. After dividing the money, no one was willing to have a drink with him, and they all left in a hurry.
What a pity that bottle of wine was laced with poison.
However, he did not waste it.
He left this bottle of wine to the "new people" he had identified and who needed a guide.
Mercenary service is a free and high-risk industry. It would be great if there is a guide.
With his own teacher as a template, the vulture disguises himself very well.
He harvested batch after batch of ‘newcomers’.
But there is no airtight wall in the world. When some news leaked, he had to become a 'own mercenary'.
More importantly, the money he deposited in the 'Mercenary Bank' was completely frozen!
While cursing the evil deeds of the 'Mercenary Bank', he heard the news and came to Angcheng.
The appearance of the 'masked man' made him smell the smell of money.
After his savings were wiped out, he needed a large amount of money to complete his planned retirement plan.
‘Mask Man’ is a very good choice.
But fate always plays tricks on him.
The appearance of 'Hydra' and 'Night Owl Court' completely gave up the idea of attacking the 'Mask Man'.
He knew very clearly that the reason why he had been able to live for so long was because he never messed with those seemingly troublesome and terrifying people and organizations.
However, the desire for money in his heart prevented him from leaving Angcheng immediately.
He is still looking for opportunities.
Opportunities will come to those who are prepared.
Vulture firmly believes in this truth.
In fact, this is also true.
In the evening this evening, a reward appeared in various channels in the underground world.
Parsi, 100,000.
Danvers, 100,000.
Kratos, 50,000.
Logan, 50,000.
Two women, two children, and a total reward of 300,000 yuan made Vulture extremely excited. Almost the moment the reward appeared, he began to use his reserve funds to purchase information to investigate the identities of these four people.
Bounty is good, but life is more important.
Then, he was completely relieved.
All four of them are ordinary people.
That is to say, because it is related to the 'shelter', people are a little concerned about it, but it is only a little concerned. The family members of the mobile team are not members of C+ level or above, so there is nothing to care about.
The most I can do is finish this job and avoid the limelight.
Immediately, the vulture made up his mind and immediately packed up his equipment and set off.
If he sets his sights on this target, others will naturally follow him. If he goes too late, there may be nothing left.
And just as the vulture expected, when he approached this single-family apartment, he discovered a large number of his peers.
Vultures spotted these people.
These people also spotted condors.
Many people showed disgust on their faces, and then spit fiercely on the ground.
Mercenaries are called hyenas, battlefield vultures and the like.
But most people still have their own rules. Bastards like Vulture are simply the object of everyone's disgust. If no bounty had been determined, and it was confirmed that Vulture's deposits had been frozen by the 'Mercenary Bank',
These people don't mind changing the target.
The vulture didn't care.
It's just suspicion, not confirmation.
If there is no confirmation, it is not his doing.
And, what if it’s confirmed?
He still won't admit it.
Thinking like this, a malicious smile appeared on the vulture's face.
There is no doubt that such a malicious smile is ferocious.
He scared a middle-aged couple with a dog on a leash.
The couple, presumably residents of the neighborhood, were walking their dogs before dinner.
"Go away."
The vulture shouted lowly.
There are too many people here, and he doesn't mind using a more direct method if it's in a less crowded place.
Thank yourself for your good luck!
Vulture sneered in his heart and passed by the middle-aged couple in front of him.
Then……
A dog leash appeared around his neck and tightened instantly!
"Uh...ha..."
The vulture made an unintelligible sound from its mouth, and his hands subconsciously reached for the weapons hidden on his body, but the wife of the couple was faster.
quack.
The palm of his hand passed by, and after two crisp sounds, the joints of the vulture's hands were removed.
The subsequent look in the vulture's eyes disappeared.
"Welcome to 'Ang City'!"
A low voice rang out from the mouth of the husband of the couple, and then, the other party maintained this strangulation and exertion posture, and directly dragged the suffocated vulture into the alley.
It's not just vultures.
All mercenaries, bounty hunters, and killers approaching this apartment were attacked almost at the same time.
The attackers have different identities, including male and female, old and young.
They all seem to be residents of the surrounding area, but they are all very skilled and ruthless in their attacks.
Yehu also received this mission today, but was delayed for more than half an hour by the game "Anrong's Ambition", so he was the last mercenary to arrive nearby.
Likewise, he was also the one who witnessed all this.
He looked at the mercenaries like him, who were strangled to death, had their throats cut, and had their hearts stabbed by people who passed by them. They all froze in place.
Especially when he saw those people tidying up the corpses skillfully and then continuing to do their own thing without changing their expressions, his whole body trembled.
The neighborhood in front of him looked like any other neighborhood he had seen.
Before dinner, the children go to school, the elderly return home, and the young people leave work.
After the whole family washed their hands, they sat at the dining table and prepared to eat.
There is no difference.
If he hadn't seen the scene just now.
He saw with his own eyes the person who looked like a child, took out a dagger and stabbed a colleague directly on the vest. He also saw the kind old man slit the throat of another colleague with a knife. He also saw the man who was off duty.
The young man turned around with a smile and raised his hand to break the neck of a colleague.
Click.
The crisp sound was still echoing in his ears to this day.
"W-what neighborhood is this?"
"Hell?"
The wild fox trembled as he thought, subconsciously turned around and left.
However, behind him, a man with an ordinary face wearing a sanitation worker's uniform was smiling at him.
thump!
The wild fox fell to his knees.
"Spare your life!"
"Don't kill me!"
"I'm useful!"
The wild fox begged for mercy without hesitation.
Then, he was knocked unconscious, and the man who knocked the wild fox unconscious reported the situation——
"The streets have been cleared of all intruders."
"Okay, got it."
"The second team is on alert."
The man answered, then picked up the unconscious wild fox, put it into a trash can on the side, and pushed it towards the garbage truck.
The garbage truck at this moment was already full of garbage.
Wild fox is also one of them.
However, the difference is that he is alive.
The other garbage is already dead.
Of course, there is always garbage left out.
In that inconspicuous corner of the street, Hawke watched all this with an ugly expression.
trap?
I knew it wouldn't be easy!
How could ordinary people have so many rewards!
Hawke couldn't help but think.
At the same time, I was glad that I sneaked in quietly instead of approaching openly.
He also knew that he and those fools had become a stepping stone for some guys to find their way.
But now, he has no choice.
The entire neighborhood has been cordoned off.
He could only move on.
Only by capturing any target person can he escape alive.
Thinking of this, Hawke gritted his teeth and rushed out, preparing to approach the single-family apartment as quickly as possible.
Then--
Bang!
Amidst the faint sound of gunfire, Hawke fell to the ground.
At the last moment of his life, despair appeared on his face.
Sniper!
Not only are these people in this neighborhood, there are also snipers in the distance!
Soon, Hawke's body was swept away.
The neighborhood has once again regained its former peace.
At least, that's the case on the surface.
Kratos and Logan's vigilance has not diminished.
The two of them looked away from the window, and they kept scanning around the room.
Including the doctor.
The doctor, who was already frightened, suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation after being glanced at by the two men at this time.
"I……"
"Shut up."
Kratos interrupted coldly.
The doctor immediately shut up and even covered his mouth to prevent himself from making any sound.
Kratos widened his eyes and continued to look for something.
Logan simply closed his eyes and began to listen.
Then, the two locked the direction of the living room at the same time.
After looking at each other, the two of them walked towards the living room.
There was no one in the living room at the moment.
The pregnant Patsy has returned to the bedroom to rest.
Danforth was busy in the kitchen.
Facing the empty living room, Kratos's little face turned cold again. Logan was a little nervous, and his eyes turned red subconsciously, but this did not prevent Logan from taking out a knife and stabbing into the empty place.
go.
Then, a hand grabbed my wrist.
This is a thin man with a malicious face.
He looked at the child in front of him jokingly.
"What a terrible perception."
"It's a pity that your strength is too small and your speed is too..."
Bang!
The man wanted to continue saying something, but before he could finish, he was kicked by Kratos.
The man saw Kratos take action, but he didn't care. It would be very dangerous for a child to hold a weapon, but with bare hands?
What are the dangers?
Can you still beat him to death?
He was prepared to accept Kratos' kick calmly, and then play a trick on the target.
Just like a cat teasing a mouse.
Then?
Naturally, take the target's head to collect the reward.
The surrounding defenses were excellent, but for him, they were non-existent.
You know, he is one of the most outstanding assassins in the 'Shadow Stream' in the past ten years.
However, when Kratos kicked him in the calf, the man's expression changed drastically.
Huge power surged forward.
Click!
The man's calf is broken!
Then, before the man could cry out in pain, Kratos hit him in the throat with a knife.
Snap!
In the crisp sound, the man's exclamation and breathing stopped abruptly.
"Kratos, what happened to Logan?"
Danforth's voice came from the kitchen.
"It's okay, Aunt Danvers."
"Kratos accidentally broke a pencil."
There were obviously tears hanging down his face, but Logan answered with a sweet voice.
Kratos had a cold face, rolled his eyes, and dragged the assassin's body into Emma's room.
Then, he looked at the doctor who had witnessed the whole process.
The doctor was no longer trembling at this time. It was not that he was not afraid, but he was truly frightened.
Kratos frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the doctor's reaction.
