669: Chapter 669: Formidable Enemy at the Door 669: Chapter 669: Formidable Enemy at the Door Fei Li had suddenly shared this task with Yuro!
Both the big-bearded man and Smith were also filled with dread.
They were well aware that once a certain level of strength was reached, the firearms carried by ordinary mercenaries could hardly be effective.
And this time, coming to Hans’s place, they hadn’t brought more powerful weapons to confront a superior expert like Yuro face-to-face.
Even if they ultimately won, the losses would likely be heavy.
For a moment, the hall went completely silent.
After a brief silence, everyone’s eyes focused on Hans.
“Respected Mr.
Hans, we’re half an hour away from midnight, and I think we should renegotiate the contract,” the big-bearded man spoke first, clearly indicating he wanted a higher price.
“Yes, Mr.
Hans, the previous price was only for Fei Li, but now we have Yuro too, and you know, Yuro is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
So, I hope to add an additional thirty million US Dollars to the original ten million US Dollars!”
Smith timely stood up and was even more direct than the big-bearded man, stating outright how much more money he wanted…
As the big-bearded man and Smith spoke, the Jiang brothers, Jiang Hai and Jiang He, exchanged a glance and then presented their conditions.
Unlike the big-bearded man and Smith, who demanded money, the brothers instead asked for some medicinal herbs.
They, just like Bai Xiaofan, were cultivators, naturally not caring too much about money.
For them, what mattered more were the medicinal herbs that could sustain their cultivation.
Strength was everything!
Listening to the four men’s demands, Hans turned to look at Bai Xiaofan.
After all, among the people in the hall, purely in terms of strength, Bai Xiaofan was stronger than the four of them.
A top ten hitman in the world rankings!
“Heh, just get us some more fine wine,” Bai Xiaofan chuckled lightly, pointing to the empty wine bottles on the table beside him.
“Mr.
Kill God, you don’t want money?” Hans couldn’t help but ask after hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words.
For Hans, the items requested by the big-bearded man, Smith, and the Jiang brothers wouldn’t make him hesitate at all.
Because these things were too common for him.
Upon hearing Hans’s words, the others also looked toward Bai Xiaofan.
“I’m not short of money, just go get some fine wine, haven’t you seen this beautiful lady next to me likes to drink?”
Bai Xiaofan waved his hand, signaling the other party to hurry up and fetch the wine.
Hans nodded repeatedly, quickly agreeing to the demands of the others as well.
Soon, Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei had more than a dozen bottles of fine wine added to their collection.
Seeing the fine wine, Xiao Mei’s beautiful eyes almost blossomed into peach blossoms.
Her little demeanor was like that of a fan girl meeting a peerlessly handsome guy.
Then, everyone quieted down once again.
With less than ten minutes to midnight, everyone knew this battle was definitely going to be tough.
So, they all wanted to adjust their condition to the best in the last moments.
“Why didn’t you take the opportunity to extort some Shura blood?
This isn’t like your style,” Xiao Mei spoke up, not bothering with a cup anymore, and began drinking directly from the bottle, softly asking Bai Xiaofan next to her.
“Isn’t it because I saw that you like to drink and thought about getting you some fine wine?”
Bai Xiaofan’s lips curled into a playful arc as he turned his head to look at Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei gave Bai Xiaofan a disdainful roll of her eyes in response to his words.
She wasn’t a naive little girl, so she didn’t believe that Bai Xiaofan was telling the truth.
However, since Bai Xiaofan wouldn’t talk, she didn’t want to press the issue either.
Just as she had thought, Bai Xiaofan hadn’t asked for anything because he had other reasons.
Now was not the time to make outrageous demands!
Although there was another competitor, Yuro, with Fei Li, the confidence of the four people increasing their offers in the hall seemed very assured.
If Bai Xiaofan spoke up now, asking for a few bottles of Shura’s blood, he could very likely be refused by Hans.
So, Bai Xiaofan was waiting, waiting for an opportunity…
Da-da-da…
Suddenly, a burst of rapid gunfire came from outside.
Everyone looked up and realized it was precisely midnight.
“Ladies and gentlemen, no need to panic, Smith and I—our mercenary group has already taken care of everything,” the bearded man boastfully said as he raised his cup of alcohol, then downed it in one go, his tone filled with arrogance!
“So, are you saying that this time, we brothers have taken advantage of you all, receiving compensation without having to lift a finger?”
Jiang He, looking sideways with a gleam in his eye, stared at the proud bearded man beside him.
“Haha, although I hate to admit it, that is indeed the case!”
Smith laughed like a gentleman, and as he finished speaking, he lifted his cup, gesturing for Jiang Hai and Jiang He to drink with him.
Seeing Smith’s gesture, Jiang He was about to say something more but was stopped by the restraining hand of Jiang Hai beside him.
Fifteen minutes later, the intensity of the gunfire outside gradually decreased.
It seemed the battle was reaching its end!
The bearded man, hearing the reduced gunfire, burst out into laughter and walked toward the door with a swagger.
Bang!
However, just as the bearded man reached the door, his figure suddenly slammed violently back.
Before anyone could react, he had already heavily hit the floor.
Spurt!
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from the bearded man’s mouth.
Instantly, the smug smile on the bearded man’s face disappeared.
In its place came a look of solemnity!
Everyone hastily looked toward the door, where two figures appeared.
The one in the lead was a man whose beard was no less bushy than the bearded man’s, and his piercing tiger-like eyes showed he was a force to be reckoned with.
The other was an elderly man with two daggers hanging at his waist, currently standing with his hands behind his back!
Recognizing the newcomers, people immediately knew who they were.
It was Fei Li and Yuro.
Almost instinctively, Jiang Hai, Jiang He, and Smith all stood up, warily eyeing their adversaries.
Hans and Bick, on the other hand, had already retreated behind the crowd, eyes wide with fear.
“Hehe, those over three hundred mercenaries outside—are they your men?
Their skills are too poor; I stood there letting them shoot, and they couldn’t even hit me!”
Fei Li laughed wildly, stepping into the hall.
Suddenly, a powerful aura pressed towards everyone there.
“You… you’ve killed all of our people?”
The bearded man struggled to stand up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Fei Li as he spoke.
