Chapter 6 Essential Skills for Top Mercenaries: Topic Diversion + Alarmist Statements

Rest assured, I prefer to cast a long line to catch big fish. A mere two hundred thousand is not enough to bait me.

Appetizer!?

It looks like a fantasy movie

After hesitating for a long time, Miss Wen finally succumbed to Wen Yin's clarifying gaze, shrugged her shoulders, and helplessly pulled her younger sister into the bedroom. The door slammed shut in front of me. Whether Miss Wen was being truthful or merely brushing things off was no longer something I needed to know

Wen Yin looked at me in surprise, slowly retracting the magnetic card, and said: "You are better than I imagined... If you really took this 200,000, I think it would be very difficult for me to accept having such a person as my bodyguard."

Two million ... ? ... Thinking about it this way, it really is a pity. Should I remind her about it?

The last person is the core of the Ravens, the mastermind Tanis, who has never appeared on the front lines. His combat ability seems rather average, yet all operational plans and development strategies of the Ravens are formulated by him alone, making him a typical example of a strategist who governs through intellect

I never said this place is Montreal

Please speak

Wen Jun gritted her teeth in anger

I closed the video and said: "In the video, only the Raven's assault team and sniper are present; the assassin and mastermind have not yet appeared. It is quite difficult to find videos of those two, and I only have textual information."

Oh, that is an overthinking on your part

I truly excel at digging my own grave

The security environment in Tianjing City is indeed among the best on the home planet, but it can only limit ordinary crimes; if a ravenous individual wishes to commit murder, an ordinary person cannot stop them

The assassin's name is unknown, and their codename is "The Man of a Thousand Faces." They excel in disguise and rarely appear with the same face. In addition, their skills in trap-setting, hand-to-hand combat, and marksmanship are all of the highest caliber. There have been records of successful assassinations of national leaders.

Are you sure

This explanation is sufficient

Wen Yin widened her eyes in surprise

You are welcome

Wen Yin immediately took out a magnetic card from her handbag

After experiencing this test, Wen Yin felt a bit more at ease with me, occasionally engaging in conversation that was neither warm nor cold, merely to distract herself from the fear brought on by the recent suicide truck incident, allowing her mind to wander. I responded casually, while my thoughts had long since drifted far away.

The young lady cautiously asked me

Staying at home for half a year! What is the difference from hiding in a shelter?

Feel free to ask

Alright, then let's talk

Are you done yet, Miss Wen? Even Xianglin's Wife isn't as mournful as you are

Your father asked me to keep you in the dark, and for this, I charged quite a bit more money

Wen Jun sighed: "As expected... The second question, regarding the self-destructing truck, will there be another time?"

An hour later, as dusk approached, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden light on the door. Wen Yin pushed the door open, her expression as calm as water. Upon seeing me waiting outside, she smiled faintly and stepped aside. Soon after, Wen Jun walked out, utterly exhausted, lacking even the strength to glare at me. After a moment of silence, she said, "I think we need to talk"

I can tell that she has something to say

Alright, I will help you strive for it, but do not go too far in your play.

The little one is truly understanding

However, this young lady is somewhat more cunning than I had imagined, even knowing to use 200,000 to test me. Unfortunately, being young, she lacks experience. If she had offered 2,000,000, I would have fallen for it.

The crows should not be so foolish

Only rocket artillery and armor-piercing shells can bring down a small amount of rock debris, but the rock giant merges its body with the earth, quickly creating a new rocky shell. Lacking heavy weapon support, the soldiers of the EPU are unable to inflict effective damage. The only armored vehicle is smashed to pieces by the rock giant hurling boulders. The soldiers of the EPU have no choice but to retreat

The shooter was a sniper from the EPU, who was shot dead by a raven sniper at the very onset of the conflict, while the camera mounted on the rifle faithfully recorded everything that transpired thereafter

I can offer you a 10% rebate

Forget it, I'm not really foolish

Interesting, although this is not the city center, it is still within the jurisdiction of Tianjing City. Who is so bold as to engage in demolition in Tianjing City? Just for a young girl from the Wen family?

After a few minutes, the young girl composed herself and solemnly asked, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

However ... ...

After much consideration, I have decided to be hypocritical this once

This is Tianjing City

I acknowledge: "Indeed, it is so."

In fact, I suspect that the mastermind behind this scam is not the Raven. The scheme is novel, yet the methods are not sophisticated; although the response was quick, it was misguided from the very beginning—when I exposed the two noblewomen, the scammers should have given up. This is not the style of the Raven; their cautious and conservative nature is well-known, and they rarely take risks. Even if it is just a test, they would execute it flawlessly, leaving no trace to be found. Why did I not pay attention to that middle-aged con artist and the bibliophile? Because I felt that I could not extract anything more from him; he was merely an insignificant pawn. Even if it is just a test, they would execute it flawlessly, leaving no trace to be found. Why did I not pay attention to that middle-aged con artist and the bibliophile? Because I felt that I could not extract anything more from him; he was merely an insignificant pawn.

Furthermore, I believe I need a more unrestricted identity

The Raven operation is not frequent, and the probability of the four-person team appearing simultaneously is even lower. To date, the most recent recorded incident occurred in the New Territories, where a design triggered a clash between the EPU and the Free Alliance forces, resulting in over a thousand casualties. The EPU lost a brigadier general, and it is worth mentioning that the entire family of the Minister of the New Territories Development Department of the Free Alliance was killed by stray bullets.

Instinctively, I reached for the magnetic card, but a warning flashed through my mind and stopped me. Is this money really so easy to obtain

By the way, that squad is the special forces of the EPU

Do you not have something you would like to ask me

That is not the case! Just now, someone impersonated a bodyguard and attempted to kidnap me! Are you really going to say that was a coincidence!

Frankstein, the assault specialist among the crows, a mutant with the ability of petrification, code-named Mountain Giant, is truly a humanoid war machine

Feng Yin said: "Rest assured, the Wen family is not composed of common folk"

When I initially discussed this issue with Mr. Wen, I felt that this family was remarkably stubborn, wanting both safety and freedom. Where in the world can one find such a bargain? Considering the million-dollar weekly salary, I can do my best, but human effort has its limits. Moreover, to think that a million-dollar weekly salary could buy my full commitment is simply a joke

This is not the world she is familiar with

I have always believed that politicians who are not sufficiently unscrupulous are not good politicians

As I was pondering how to dissuade her, a sudden sharp pain struck my head. I noticed a freight truck loaded with steel bars roaring towards me from the side road. I immediately pressed the launch button on the steering wheel, and the Iron Duke's chassis shot up into the air as if detonated by explosives. The truck, caught off guard, grazed the underside of the Iron Duke and flew off, crashing through the roadside guardrail and smashing into a low building. A splatter of blood erupted from within; the driver was likely dead.

Wen Jun was taken aback: "That was something that happened last year; it was reported in the news... it was manipulated by the Raven from behind! How do you know?"

At this moment, I remembered that there was a big problem in the back seat of the car

Looking back at Wen Yin, the girl's face was as pale as paper, clearly showing signs of lingering fear

Faced with the test of purity, I succumbed in less than three seconds

What happened, Xiaoyin has already told me... it is not your responsibility, including your attempt to bribe her with kickbacks related to the - picture - book—my goodness, that was truly foolish—I can understand that. No one anticipated that the other party would act so quickly; if you had not arrived in time today, the consequences would have been unimaginable. To some extent, I should thank you

The girl shyly retracted her head and said, "I just feel that you are somewhat different from the other bodyguards"

There are two hundred thousand inside, tell me everything

... ...

I wholeheartedly agree: "I am a peerless master."

Naturally, the people around her can manipulate the situation; if they can bribe the doorman, they can also bribe those inside.

It was not the raven that took action, but rather a third-rate gang of con artists instructed by the raven

There is something I would like to discuss with you

It is merely a self-exploding truck, what do you think it is

I suddenly recalled that the Wind Whisper seemed to have warned me that the Wen family despises the Free Riders the most

That is the information I collected during my brief encounter with the crows in the New Territories, where the crows engaged in a skirmish with the EPU's forces in the woods of the New Territories, annihilating thirty opponents in three minutes and seventeen seconds

With me keeping watch, there will be no issues. However, starting tomorrow, for the next six months, unless absolutely necessary, do not leave the house. I will arrange mechanisms near the building, which will be virtually foolproof.

Wen Yin blinked her eyes: `` ? ''

战犬

The Iron Duke drove leisurely on the way back, while the young lady from the Wen family in the back seat remained silent, occasionally glancing at me out of the corner of her eye, filled with curiosity and a hint of fear

I began to seriously consider how to deceive this overly curious little sister. However, Wenyin quickly spoke up

Wen Jun's complexion had turned as pale as paper

Miss Wen

The appetizers are finished, do you think we should serve the main course

Indeed, Wen Yin's eyes sparkled, and the doubts in her heart had accumulated to an unmanageable extent, yet she never opened her mouth to ask me again

I never expected that the crows would be a bunch of lunatics, but you need not worry, the Tianjing government is not that despicable

This girl is so damn cute

I look forward to the next test of the raven

It is truly laughable; Master Wen expects me to keep this girl in the dark, yet on the very first day, something went awry. It is indeed a situation that leaves one both amused and exasperated

Okay

This is different from the agreement

Since Xiao Yin already knows the truth, that is that. However, the events that occurred today were beyond my expectations. There are a few matters I need to inquire about.

A gray-white stone giant rampaged through the forest, wantonly crushing EPU soldiers, with blood and flesh flying amidst the lush trees and severed limbs scattered everywhere. The energy armor that EPU took pride in was rendered insignificant under the crushing force of the rock giant. Meanwhile, the soldiers' retaliatory gunfire was easily deflected by the giant's rocky exterior

This is my first time entering Miss Wen's boudoir, and Wen Jun gets straight to the point

If it were not for the Iron Duke being a modified vehicle, it would have been truly dangerous just now. And if this place were not so remote, who knows how many innocent lives would have been lost!

A casually spoken remark caused Wenjun's expression to darken significantly

Old Master Wen has repeatedly instructed me to keep this from you. If you continue to press for answers, it could cost me a million in weekly salary

Wen Jun felt somewhat confused: "But this is Tianjing City..."

Wen Jun apologetically said to me, and then asked, "Is there any problem with Xiao Yin's safety?"

Wen Yin sighed, her two clear eyes gazing at me intently through the rearview mirror

I am making the final effort

Therefore, I said it would be better to go to the shelter

What do your family members say

I copied a video from my phone and transferred it to Miss Wen's personal computer

Then came the massacre by the raven snipers, as soldiers fell one after another during their escape. The snipers swiftly changed positions, leaving everyone bewildered and unsure of how to hide. By the end of the video, the thirty-man squad had been completely annihilated

This damned little wench

Wen Jun did not say another word; she informed me that she would discuss it with Wen Yin later and then sent me away

Wen family's younger sister quickly lowered her head and covered her mouth, clearly laughing

Everyone in the circle knows, and I am the one who killed the Minister of Development of the Free Alliance

Rest assured, Master Wen has only offered a weekly salary of one million.

Let me be straightforward: when you get home, I hope you do not bring up what happened today. Or, do not inquire about the underlying circumstances of this matter

I also cannot feel at ease. If the raven's tests are this insane, disregarding the innocent, I fear that even the Tianjing government will not tolerate me! I immediately called Fengyin on my phone. That guy had already left Tianjing at this time, and upon hearing me describe the changes in the situation, he could only smile wryly.

Is that giant... a new species?

I will personally go home to ask him

The Iron Duke gracefully landed, and a familiar scent wafted in through the gap of the car window. I immediately accelerated to the maximum speed, with two beams of blue light shooting out from the rear of the car, propelling it forward like a bullet. A few seconds later, the wreckage of the truck exploded violently, scattering debris like shrapnel from a hand grenade, leaving the surrounding fifty meters of road severely damaged.

... ... ''

I apologize

My father did not explain in detail, only mentioning that there has been some danger in Tianjing City recently, but I know it is certainly not that simple

Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. Father must have asked you to keep it a secret; he always does this

Before long, the Iron Duke arrived at the floating platform, and the little sister behind him let out a long sigh of relief, finally home

That is a self-exploding truck

There is really nothing to argue about with these insignificant individuals

If the raven still has intentions today, then it is now. However, I did not sense any crisis until the Iron Duke drove into the Wen family's courtyard

It is truly a pity that I have not yet informed her about the fact that I unilaterally transferred the funds for the materials used to set the trap into her account

The crisis has passed, but the trouble has only just begun. As soon as Wen Yin entered the house, she hurriedly ran to question Wen Jun about the reasons behind the matter. I saw a flash of astonished anger in Miss Wen's eyes as she shot me a fierce glare, her gaze sharp as blades and weapons, unpredictable yet undeniably fierce. However, this was of no consequence; I would not feel guilty because of it, nor would Wen Yin's attitude soften as a result.

After hanging up the phone, the Iron Duke continued driving towards the city center. As we approached the urban area, it was no longer a place where outsiders could act recklessly. The warning signals in my mind ceased, and I gradually relaxed my nerves

Wen Jun's face turned red, rendered speechless by my words. Her small fists were clenched tightly, as if they could explode at any moment. Angering the employer is a major taboo for mercenaries, so I quickly explained: "The Corvids are among the top fifty assassin groups. If they choose not to take on this task, that would be one thing, but once they accept it, they will have no reservations. Moreover, their roots are in the New Territories; even if chaos erupts on their home planet, they can simply escape back to the New Territories and live as drifters, and no one can do anything to them."

Why does Xiaoyin's phone have a fraud chip?

Ms. Wen, I can only seek the maximum benefit for myself within the scope of the agreement. However, leaking this information would violate my agreement with Mr. Wen, which would be detrimental to my reputation. I am very sorry, but I cannot accept this money. If you want the truth, you can go back and ask Miss Wen Jun.

The small commotion at the entrance of the academy did not stir up any greater waves. I left the middle-aged swindler, who had fainted, where he was and took Wen Yin away, leaving without a care. If someone chooses to report it, so be it; the one who suffers a loss will not be me.

Why?

I really shouldn't have called Fengyin in front of her just now
