Chapter 1549: Killing the donkey

Nailan lowered his body, avoiding the thick smoke, and thought about countermeasures.

The main reason why the big chaebols were so anxious to take action was that they had a conflict over how to deal with [Azazel].

He was not the only one who was abandoned, but he was just a skinny donkey that could be killed at any time, while Azazel was a terrifying beast.

After reaching a fair competition agreement with [Hermes's Traveling Hat], the big capitalists believed that they should expand their scale as soon as possible before [Hermes's Traveling Hat] started its activities, so as to compete with [Hermes's Traveling Hat].

But Naylan poured cold water on him, saying it was not possible, or rather, it was not possible before proper arrangements were made for [Azazel].

These words aroused the dissatisfaction of the big capitalists.

They believed that Azazel was no longer needed and that this early risk investment could be abandoned once stability was achieved.

As for whether this will bring about revenge from [Azazel], there is no need to worry at all, because they will have a larger group of foreigners to support them.

[Azazel] is very strong, but if they are killed, they will face the risk of losing all their property, which means they are destined to be cautious and will not go head-on with a large number of foreigners.

The big capitalists talked about the pros and cons, but Naylan refused to give in. He made his attitude clear. It was not that he was unwilling to replace [Azazel], but that he wanted to replace him properly.

The stranger of [Azazel] was a hero in the early stage. He not only salvaged the [Ika Black Stone], but also mined the Poseidon Bright Stone Vein, providing materials for the subsequent large-scale mass production of deep-sea stealth accessories.

It can be said that the conditions for a direct confrontation with [Hermes's Traveling Hat] are now completed based on the efforts of [Azazel].

Naylan didn't just refuse or make any suggestions. In fact, he had already made a plan when he hired Azazel.

That is to make [Azazel] a member of the chaebol alliance, promoted from an employee to management, and share the profits.

It can not only avoid conflicts between [Azazel] and ordinary foreigners, but also soothe [Azazel]'s emotions and make [Azazel] a decent beneficiary.

If [Azazel] as a member of the management also wants to engage in grassroots labor, then continue to provide it to the [Azazel] area and try to avoid [Azazel] from contacting other foreigners.

This time, the tycoons did not refute, but just looked at Neilan in silence, with a faint light flickering in their eyes.

That night, the compound of the Abyssion Group was attacked.

This was an attack from the alliance of chaebol groups. After all, they could not change their barbaric nature and chose to break the rules in the face of huge interests.

It was not that Naylan could not understand their impatience, because the [Hermes' Traveling Hat] had already begun to move and started to gather strangers.

All living things have habits and dependencies. Once foreigners get used to deep-sea salvage activities at the [Hermes's Traveling Hat], it will be difficult to change the habits of those foreigners in the future, or they may have to give up greater benefits.

Time waits for no one, and the best way is to get rid of Neilan directly. While issuing a statement to start the event, the big chaebols launched an attack on Neilan.

The footsteps in the flames were getting closer and closer. Naylan held his breath, signaled the mermaid Abyssion not to use any strength, and began to shuttle through the flames.

His footsteps attracted the attention of the killers, and they approached like a ghost, and they appeared in just a few seconds.

But the killers were very alert and kept their distance hiding in the flames. Even though they had noticed that the mermaid Abyssion was really weak, they would not gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility.

So they chose to use throwing weapons at a safe distance. After all, Neylan was just an ordinary person, and killing Neylan would be considered mission accomplished. "I thought they would just rush over and kill us, but even though they are all blessed, their neural structures are completely different, and they won't rush over without caring about their lives."

Naylan laughed with difficulty. His skin was burned by the flames, and his legs and hands were cut into a bloody mess by the killers' throwing weapons.

But he did not stop, and continued to advance through the sea of ​​fire carrying the mermaid Abyssion on his back, as if he was fighting for his last chance.

He did not escape from the house engulfed in flames. Instead, he ran around like a headless fly, as if he had no idea where to go.

The mermaid Abyssion poked her head out of the fish barrel, her face full of anxiety. She opened her mouth, and this time it was no longer a vague whimper, it seemed that a more mysterious sound was about to emerge.

Naylan immediately raised his hand to cover the mermaid Abyssion's mouth and shook his head with difficulty. The blood he had shed had made him unconscious, but there was still a smile on his face.

"It has been delayed for a long time. Everything... is going as planned..."

That is not just a simple consolation, but the fact.

The flame flickered, and heavier footsteps were heard. The red light that illuminated the mansion was gradually overwhelmed by the dim darkness, and even the flames bowed their heads.

It's Azazel who has arrived.

The big chaebols keep him as their agent not out of kindness, but to take the blame.

He will be blamed by [Hermes's Traveling Hat] as the enemy, and will also be blamed for betraying [Azazel].

He had a life to clear, so the big capitalists sent assassins to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

But the big capitalists always make two old mistakes in a habitual manner. The first is that they don't explain things clearly to the people who they think are doing the dirty work.

Perhaps it was because they felt that those who did the dirty work didn't need to know so much, or perhaps they were worried about leaving any evidence behind, or perhaps it was because those who did the dirty work were professional enough not to ask anything and only knew that they had to kill two targets.

The second problem is even more serious, that is, when issuing dirty orders, as if to avoid leaving room for criticism, the wording is vague and one's meaning is not accurately expressed.

For example, now, the assassins received a task commission that should be "kill these two targets as soon as possible", so how soon is "as soon as possible"? The assassins are already fast enough, and it is estimated that they will come to assassinate the target on the same day they receive the commission.

But the killers probably didn't understand that "as soon as possible" meant completing the assassination at all costs the moment they met, which is why they used such cautious long-distance assassinations.

The killers had no idea that Azazel would come for revenge, nor did they know that Naylan had something on him, which gave Naylan the opportunity to delay time and gain a chance to survive.

But this chance of survival was not a miracle, but a series of plans premeditated after imagining the worst-case scenario. Even the entire mansion was built specifically to delay time in the event of an assassination.

It is impossible to defeat the chaebols in twenty years, and it is even more impossible to defeat the chaebol alliance, but it is enough to delay for twenty minutes.

When the killers saw Naylan holding the fish bucket and leaning against the wall, they immediately moved closer to finish him off, but as the flames swayed, several dark shadows like the god of death stood beside Naylan.

They surrounded us like the god of death coming to reap our lives.
