my beauty world

Chapter 150 Fishing and Bait Casting (6000 words)
The sunlight shone through the glass window on the side of the table. Petunia carefully looked at Ronan, making sure that there was no problem with his face, and asked routinely, "Where are you from? What's your name?"

"Ryan, a Texan. You can call me Private Ryan, that's what all my former comrades in arms called me." Ronan asked casually, "What about you? What's your name? Why do you want to hunt down Nail Stranger?"

Penny looked serious: "My name is Penny, from Los Angeles. The Nail Stranger killed me and my companion's father."

There's no excuse for that, as Nailman has taken down so many gangsters and dealers lately.

Ronan nodded slightly: "I've heard that the Nail Man killed many people."

Petunia said: "I'm going to kill him for revenge!" She continued to ask: "Have you ever been a soldier?"

Ronan was also prepared: "Ranger, spent several years in Afghanistan."

Petunia asked again: "Why are you back? I heard that the army is well paid."

Ronan continued to talk nonsense: "I snatched some valuables from the Afghan tribe. The officer wanted to take most of them. I didn't like it. I beat him up and lay him down for several months."

The dirty things in the American army are no less than those in the Israeli army, and Petunia has long heard about it.

As for the military discipline of American soldiers, it is famous all over the world.

Penny was both explaining and asking questions: "You are very good at close combat."

"Both my grandfather and father were soldiers. If it weren't for them, I would have been court-martialed." What Ronan said must be in line with Ryan's Texas redneck personality: "They taught me since I was a child, and I trained when I was a teenager. Me, what kind of Texan can't fight and shoot? I can actually shoot well."

He continued to babble based on the information he gathered from the CIA: "When I first arrived in Afghanistan, I did very well and participated in special special training for the Pentagon."

Petunia immediately understood that this was a special training for the soldier system mastered by the US government.

It is impossible for ordinary bounty hunters to know this.

I met him twice before and after. This person has a violent personality, direct actions, and the shadow of Krav Maga in his shots. In addition to the above, the red neck of Texas and the status of a former soldier should not be mistaken.

Petunia still paid attention: "Your name is Ryan?"

"Ha... your real name is Penny?" Ronan shook his head and laughed, "Texans are just straightforward and don't like to be twisted, but they're not stupid."

Penny doesn't need to get to the bottom of it, she is reliable and capable, and she can try to absorb into Mossad after finishing the work.

If it's normal, just silence it.

She asked for Ronan's contact information: "Wait for me to contact you."

"Don't delay for too long." Ronan pointed to the cheap fast food: "I can't afford to eat anymore. If you delay for too long, I may take on other tasks."

FBI Los Angeles Bureau.

In the office, Jack Wells was reviewing the materials of last night's case, especially those of the deceased.

Partner Frank came in quickly from the outside and said, "Good news!"

Jack asked, "Have you found the Nail Man?"

Frank shook his head: "There are clues to the identity of the deceased. The bureau received an anonymous report this morning, saying that those people are members of the Mossad dagger team!"

Jack was not surprised, but curious: "Who reported it?"

Frank said: "A call came in from a public phone, the exact person is unknown."

Jack suddenly had an idea: "Do you think it might have been done by the Nail Stranger?"

"Huh?" Frank was puzzled: "Isn't he a murderer?"

Jack stood up and pushed down according to this idea: "The Nail Stranger must be worried about retaliation when he provoked Mossad. Mossad dared to attack in Los Angeles. Not only these dead people, but also sent people to support at any time. Dagger The team, I've heard people say, is composed of Mossad's elite agents who are good at infiltration, instigation and assassination."

Frank understood Jack's meaning: "He used the FBI to contain Mossad? Make Mossad dare not act recklessly?"

The more Jack thought about it, the more reasonable it became: "This possibility is great!"

American agents have always been self-confident: "Don't say anything else, if we do something here, we don't even need to take action, just call the Israeli consulate, and Mossad will easily send people to Los Angeles?"

"The idea of ​​this nail geek is so beautiful!" Frank slapped the table angrily. "He's killing people everywhere in Los Angeles. How much trouble has he caused us? Before we even settled with him, he backhandedly tried to use us!"

But Jack said, "He succeeded."

Frank was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, an assistant detective knocked on the door and came in, notifying the two of them: "The director told you to go to a meeting, meeting room No. [-]!"

Jack and Frank looked at each other and immediately understood what was going on.

Sure enough, as soon as the meeting started, Director Taylor was furious, and he first reprimanded his subordinates for not being able to handle affairs well, and for not being able to catch the strange man for a long time.

Then he scolded Israel as an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who dared to send spies and agents to his territory, and asked the FBI Los Angeles branch to find out the remaining Mossad agents immediately!

After the meeting, Director Taylor personally made a phone call to the Israeli Consulate in Los Angeles. During this period, roars erupted, and dust fell from the shaking roof.

It's clear to Jack and Frank that if it was reported by Nail Stranger, he succeeded.

…………

In Burbank, a taxi pulls up.

The driver opened the trunk, Rabin got out of the car and took out the guitar case, came to the single-family house, and knocked rhythmically on the door.

The door opened from the inside, and Petunia seemed to be welcoming a guest, and said with a smile, "Come in!"

After closing the door, Penny restrained her smile and asked Rabin, "Is there anything unusual on the road?"

Rabin is very confident: "No."

Giselle came over with a man and a woman, and introduced: "This is Jacob, this is Natalie, and this is Rabin. There was an accident in the operation, and I was forced to activate you. Has your family arranged it?"

Rabin glanced at his watch: "Already boarded the flight to Tel Aviv."

Jacob said, "People have set off."

Natalie is part of the stiletto team and doesn't have to worry about her family.

"Our target is the Nail Man, who has robbed Israel of valuable property..." Gisele roughly said.

Because of the recent media reports, Rabin had read the news about Nail Stranger, and wondered: "Why don't you deploy new people, activate us, and use them on such a person..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.

Giselle said: "The consulate has just informed Jerusalem that the FBI knows about our existence, has called, and will issue official documents soon. The Jerusalem side is very annoyed, and we will no longer have support."

Everyone knows the relationship between the United States and Israel.

Rabin wondered: "How does the FBI know?"

Penny said angrily: "It is said that the nail geek reported us to the FBI!"

Rabin and Jacob looked at each other in blank dismay. They were all shady rats, shouldn't they be fighting in the gutter?What does it mean to report to the US authorities?
When Petunia got the news from the insider, she was very angry: "The Nail Man is very despicable, you must be careful when you meet him."

Giselle said: "Because of this report, we won't have backup! I have recruited a few men through the hunter guild's bounty, and let them serve as cannon fodder!"

She looked at Natalie: "Where is Citibank?"

Natalie said: "I bought off the deputy manager in charge of the safe business. If someone passes by, he will delay and notify us immediately."

Giselle said to Natalie, who was in charge of logistics support: "Find the whereabouts of the nail monster through all aspects as soon as possible! Citibank has not moved, and he is still in Los Angeles!"

Natalie said: "I have mobilized all kinds of relationships."

Giselle said to Petunia again: "Notify the recruiters, and go to the second location for testing."

…………

After receiving a call from Penny, Ronan, wearing a Ryan vest, drove to Glendale, a satellite city of Los Angeles, and came to an auto parts processing factory.

The huge factory building was empty, except for Petunia, there was another woman.

This man was tall and well-built, with deep and three-dimensional facial features on his charming face.

Ronan recognized it, it was Giselle!
Seeing Petunia's lips moving and whispering, he concentrated and listened.

"This is Ryan. He is good at close combat. He was born as a ranger and has been on the battlefield in Afghanistan. He claims to have good marksmanship." Petunia was obviously talking to the tall woman: "He doesn't need to be assessed."

Giselle nodded slightly.

Penny added: "I think he is stronger than Rabin, Jacob and Natalie."

Ronan could hear clearly that there were three other members of the dagger team.

Don't be in a hurry to start, after all, only when all people work together is it called consummation.

Giselle yelled at Ronan, "Ryan, this way."

Ronan went straight over and looked at Giselle without any concealment.

I have to say, this woman has really long legs, it's a pity not to ride a tricycle in the ancient city.

Penny introduced: "This is my friend Giselle."

Ronan followed Penny's words and said nonsense: "Is that the companion you said that the father let the nail monster kill?" He then grinned: "Sorry, I'm more straightforward."

Giselle looked stern: "It's okay."

Petunia opened the bag, took out a stack of dollars, and threw it directly to Ronan: "We decided to hire you, here is the deposit."

Ronan counted the money skillfully, with the standard money-grubbing appearance, put it in his inner pocket after counting it clearly, and pointed at Penny: "I like a generous boss like you the most! You pay the money and I do things, how happy! When will Go and kill the Nailman, keep me informed, I'll be there."

Giselle was from the Israel Defense Forces. When she saw Ronan, it was as if she saw a woman in the army.

Four more people came in one after another, all tall and strong men.

Ronan was very conscious, and when he took money from others, he had to stand with them and move to Giselle's side early to help strengthen the momentum.

"This mission is very dangerous. What we need are elite personnel who are worth the money." Petunia took out two stacks of dollars and placed them on a metal table on one side: "You need to accept the assessment."

She pointed to the distance: "See the cans hanging over there? You stand behind the white line and just shoot the cans. If you are not good at shooting, you can show your unique skills, or melee combat... "

Penny looked at Ronan: "It's enough to withstand his attack for half a minute."

Ronan has the demeanor of a tool man who uses money to do things, and said: "You have to think about it, I will never show mercy!"

The bald-headed black man among the four suddenly said: "Why bother!" He said to the other three: "Guys, although we don't know each other, this is a good opportunity to make money!"

Among them was a strong man of mixed race who knew a black man: "Roman, what do you want?"

The black Roman went to touch the gun behind his waist: "There are only three of them, and two of them are women. There are four of us. Why don't we rob the money, grab the women, and sell them?"

Gisele couldn't help but look at Penny.

Petunia pointed to her forehead helplessly, which meant that there was something missing in that bald black man's head.

Ryan's character is a Texas native, and Ronan spat at this moment, muttering: "The orangutan's head hasn't grown yet!"

Giselle has a sense of identification with Ronan at this moment.

As expected of Uncle Hei, Roman dared to speak and act. While speaking, he took out his gun and shouted: "Don't move! Throw away your weapons and let me see your hands!"

Giselle gave Ronan a look.

"Add money!"

Ronan only said one sentence, and rushed towards the black man.

Roman raised the muzzle of his gun and was about to shoot, but Ronan rolled over before his finger pulled the trigger!
boom!boom--

Roman missed two shots!

Ronan had already come close, but before he could stand up, he kicked his leg out!
The three people next to them all heard the sound of something breaking, and clamped their legs at the same time!

Roman's pistol fell to the ground, his eyes rolled, and he fell down!
Ronan stood up and suddenly attacked the other three!

Kick the crotch!

Plug your eyes!

Throat lock!

The other three bounty hunters, who looked very strong, covered their crotches, eyes and throats and screamed!

Ronan turned around and spread his hands at Petunia and Giselle: "They are all rookies, they can't help, they will only slow you down. I have a suggestion, you give me the money you are going to pay them, and I promise to give you money." The strength of three people!"

Giselle squinted at Petunia dissatisfied.

Petunia defended softly: "The time is too short, those powerful bounty hunters may not necessarily get the news, and... the rewards are a bit small."

Giselle has no choice, and the funds that can be mobilized are limited.

But these four people don't need to be assessed again, their strength is really limited.

Giselle picked up a pile of money and threw it to Ronan from a distance: "I'll pay you double, you have to work hard!"

"It's my principle to use money to do things!" Ronan vowed: "We are Texans, and we are well-known for doing things!"

If you're not a Texan, you can't help it.

Giselle said, "Wait for the call."

Ronan nodded, collected the money and left.

Petunia in the back waited until Ronan left the factory and took out a micro-sound pistol, killing four people as a result.

Ronan seemed to have gone far away, but he kept concentrating on listening to the movement inside the factory building. After hearing the fart-like gunshots, he activated his spiritual vision and harvested soul fragments.

Three soul shards +2, one soul shard +3.

The group of bounty hunters is really mixed.

But when you think about hunting dogs, if you really have outstanding skills, you won't be on the fringes of society.

In every industry, there are only a few standing at the top of the pyramid.

Ronan heard Giselle talking to Penny again.

"There are two important clues to find the Nail Man." The speaker was Giselle: "One is that the Nail Man likes to attack gangsters and drug dealers, and the other is the nails he throws."

She is considering setting a trap: "Can you spread false news to the outside world, saying that there has been a large drug deal recently."

"You can try it." Petunia reminded: "The nail monster throws the most common iron nails."

Giselle said, "How much has he thrown out so far? He must add. We can't check it, let the Jewish Chamber of Commerce check it. You ask Natalie to contact the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. I remember they have a hardware industry Union."

Penny said, "I'll call Natalie right away."

Giselle added: "Remind Natalie, once you can't stop it, notify the Americans immediately, the contents of the safe must never fall into the hands of the nail monster!"

Petunia sighed: "Under normal circumstances, you can still plan to rob the bank, but last month, Citibank was robbed once, and the defense and security were all mentioned to the top."

Then, I heard Petunia making a phone call, and the footsteps of two women walking out.

Ronan didn't stay any longer, got into the dilapidated second-hand car, and drove away from here.

Fortunately, I didn't rush to Citibank.

To get things, the short sword team is an obstacle.

Came to the safe house, changed the disguise and the car, and went back to the detective agency.

The owner of the convenience store at the door greeted him: "It's hard to see you."

Ronan replied with a smile: "No way, this job is hard work." He shook the camera in his hand: "The commission I accepted does not allow me to sit."

After chatting for a few words, he unlocked the door and entered, sat at the desk and turned on the computer.

Ronan had heard the name of the Jewish Chamber of Commerce several times recently.

I searched the Los Angeles Jewish Chamber of Commerce on the Internet, only to find that it is a very large non-governmental business organization, composed entirely of Jewish people, involved in all walks of life, and its members operate in different sizes.

Under the Great Chamber of Commerce, there are many industry federations, such as the Hardware Industry Federation mentioned by Giselle.

Looking at the logo of the Federation of Commerce and Industry, Ronan was also thinking.

Giselle wants to trap the Nail Man, but can the Nail Man fish?

Fish out the Mossad agents in Los Angeles, especially the operatives, for peace of mind.

Ronan reported Mossad, and from the reactions of Penny and Giselle, Mossad was under pressure and did not dare to send reinforcements to Los Angeles.

Capture Giselle and take out her team.

Ronan thought about it for a while, found out his mobile phone, dialed Jess's number, waited for the phone to be picked up, and said, "It's me."

"My number is only known to you and grandma." After Jess finished speaking, she quickly explained: "I have no other meaning."

Ronan asked: "How is your development over there?"

Jess didn't understand what Ronan meant, so she could only deal with it carefully: "It's okay, I persuaded some people to work hard with me."

Ronan turned to the main topic: "You have people, help me with one thing."

Jess deliberately refused: "I just entered here..." Less than half of the words were uttered, and she immediately changed her words: "I have no problem here."

Ronan said: "Provide me with the addresses of the stores and warehouses in North Hollywood that are affiliated with the Los Angeles Jewish Chamber of Commerce and the affiliated Hardware Industry Federation. The logos of the two organizations are available online."

It's not a trouble, Jess replied straight away: "I'll let someone do it, right away!"

Then, I heard Jess's hurried footsteps and voices giving orders.

Jess quickly asked again, "Anything else?"

Ronan said, "As soon as possible!"

Jess moved extremely quickly, and put the collected information in the place designated by Ronan before leaving get off work.

Ronan went back to the apartment and picked up the materials on the way.

When I went upstairs, I found that the door of Professor Modi's apartment was open, and there were people in uniforms doing technical surveys inside.

Just like ordinary people, Ronan looked at it curiously, asked the person guarding the door, and then took out the key to open the door.

The sound of opening the door alarmed Jack Wells, who immediately went out.

"Hello!" Jack Wells had a good attitude and showed his ID first: "FBI agent, you can call me Jack."

Ronan nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What's your name?" Jack asked.

Ronan took out a business card and handed it to him: "Matthew, a detective, if you have outsourcing business, you can find me."

Jack glanced at the business card and pointed to the opposite apartment: "Do you know about Professor Modi?"

Ronan said: "I read in the newspaper that the professor is a good man. After I moved here, he helped me a lot." He sighed and said with sadness: "In this world, good people are always hurt."

Jack asked: "You have a good relationship?"

"It's not bad, a friendly neighbor." Ronan said truthfully: "He also helped me introduce clients."

Jack continued to ask: "Has Professor Modi been in contact with any special people?"

Ronan pretended to recall carefully: "I haven't seen the professor socialize with anyone. If it's special, the professor likes to bring women back, does that count?"

"What kind of women are they?"

"I don't know much about bar girls and the like." Ronan said, "When I went out in the morning, I met many times, and the people changed frequently."

Jack memorized them all.

Ronan's understanding is actually limited. For example, he never thought that Professor Modi would be a second-tier mage!
Not to mention, a second-tier mage was killed by Mossad without any resistance.

Without asking much useful information, Jack thanked him and returned to Professor Modi's apartment.

Ronan opened the door and entered the room, carefully looking at the information collected by Jess.

As the night darkened, the other side had already evacuated. Ronan jumped out of the bathroom window, went to the safe house, changed Murphy's vest, went to Burbank, and found the lair of the Gron gang.

This is a gang whose main business is theft, drug trafficking and robbery.

The Nail Man strikes again!

Ronan harvested soul fragments by the way! ,

What is different from the past is that in addition to the usual eight-centimeter nails, Ronan purposely used a dozen old five-centimeter nails picked up by the Gelong gang.

That night, he rushed to North Hollywood again, and according to the information provided by Jess, he stole several boxes of eight-centimeter iron nails from a hardware supermarket.

In the next two days, the nail geek continued to show up and took down two more gangsters.

At the same time, a black trafficker was tied up in a house in the suburbs of Burbank.

Ronan wore Murphy's vest, either bought it normally, or stole it in the dark, and got a lot of eight-centimeter iron nails from North Hollywood.

If a professional collects relevant information, it is not difficult to analyze a certain activity trajectory and determine the hidden scope of the nail monster.

Ronan was waiting for news. If Giselle didn't respond for a long time, he would immediately remove the bait to avoid catching the FBI.

But Giselle didn't keep him waiting, Penny quickly called and told him to gather.

　I'm going out today, and I only have 6000 words left.
