This assassin is upright

Chapter 213 Don’t come over here!!! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

In an abandoned house not far from the Fuli Hotel, four players were anxiously waiting for something.

It was not until the fifth player flashed in from outside that the four waiting people showed a somewhat relaxed look.

"Captain, what's the situation?" The archer player in the team couldn't help but ask, "Are they all here?"

"Well, it's almost done." The captain who had just returned from an outing was an assassin player named Ye Lan. He smiled and nodded, "I just inquired about the situation. The banquet is about to officially begin."

"Calculating the time, it's just right for us to set off now."

Hearing this, the others all showed delighted expressions at the same time.

"Finally I can leave this crappy place."

The female pastor in the team couldn't help but complain, "With such heavy pollution, my skin is going to become rough."

"Other missions can be started right away, but our mission is so weird that we have to wait until the banquet starts before we can start."

"I don't know why we worked so hard to complete the Iron-level missions." Ani couldn't help shaking her head, "Anyway, the promotion missions can only be completed within the required time."

"Annie, stop complaining." The male mage said with a smile, "I'll use [Purgatory Explosion] and the mission will be over."

To the players, the native inhabitants of the dungeon pose no threat at all.

"Don't be too careless. Let's plan a battle plan first." Captain Ye Lan's smile faded slightly. "Agaso will use his skills to clear the field first, and then we will go in to clear out the mess."

"I just checked the place out. The banquet hall has a complicated terrain and there are some independent small rooms."

"We need to check every room later to make sure no one at the banquet is left behind." Ye Lan paused for a moment, "Our mission is to kill everyone who is attending the banquet."

"Leave any one person behind and our mission will fail."

"Understood!" the warrior player said in a deep voice.

The other three expressed the same opinion.

"Don't worry, my Explosion is trustworthy."

"My arrows are ready."

"The treatment probably won't be needed, but the buffs will be full."

"It was a close call. The mission almost failed."

"That's good." Ye Lan nodded, and then his expression froze.

Just now... there seemed to be a sixth person's voice? !

"clang--"

The death knell suddenly rang out of nowhere.

"Pfft-"

The dull sound of a dagger piercing flesh echoed in the abandoned house.

"Woooo..."

The female priest Annie had her mouth covered by a hand that stretched out from the darkness behind her. The sharp tip of a dagger pierced through her body from the center of her towering chest, and a large amount of warm blood spurted onto the faces of the other four people.

[Health value-3023745]

"Blood is locked again." Looking at the opponent's blood bar that was locked after being cleared, Yu Zhun shook his head slightly and looked at the others who were still in shock.

"Feel sorry…"

"It seems our missions conflict."

"So, it's time to end your strategy."
-
"ladies and gentlemen!"

In the banquet hall, Mr. Montal raised the goblet in his hand and said, "Let's drink a glass to today's banquet!"

Countless guests in the audience raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp amid cheers.

The banquet officially began, and a large number of dishes prepared in advance were pushed out by maids on dining carts.

Before the banquet began, sumptuous food was already placed on the tables in the banquet hall.

But compared with the food at this moment, those are nothing.

Many knowledgeable guests have already recognized the ingredients used in these dishes, any one of which is worth hundreds or thousands of gold coins.

Then there were exclamations one after another.

Feeling that the gazes of the guests around him were becoming more fanatical and respectful, the smile on Montal's face became even more intense.

The money spent on this banquet was just a drop in the bucket for him, but it could greatly enhance his prestige.

He could already imagine the scene after the banquet, when the guests would tell their relatives and friends about their experiences at the banquet, further enhancing their reputation in Lant City.

"Everyone present here is a businessman. The Lant City Chamber of Commerce is committed to helping every businessman get rich. Next, we will allocate a considerable amount of business assistance funds to help our business partners in distress get out of the crisis..."

Montal recounted the new initiatives of the Lant City Chamber of Commerce one by one, and to the invited guests, each initiative sounded so tempting.

By the time he finished speaking and stepped down from the stage, a large number of guests had already gathered around him.

In a corner of the banquet hall, Lao Luo held up a glass of wine and looked at Montal, who was surrounded by people in three layers, with a somewhat conflicted expression.

The gift he had carefully prepared was taken away by the waiter in charge of registering gifts before he could give it to Montal in person. It was not an easy task to make one's presence felt in front of such an important figure.

Compared with those big businessmen who were fawning on Vice President Montal, his business was so insignificant that Lao Luo didn't even dare to approach and try to talk to Montal like others did.

While he was struggling, he saw Montal, who was surrounded by a crowd, made a gesture to excuse himself, then squeezed out of the crowd and walked somewhere.

It's over, another opportunity missed.

Lao Luo slowly put the wine glass in his hand aside.

"I'm really not cut out for business..."

He laughed at himself, took a plate of rich food from the maid beside him, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard.

These precious ingredients, which he usually was reluctant to buy, now seemed to taste a bit sour.

The silver-haired maid calmly looked at Lao Luo who suddenly became depressed, and then turned her gaze to Montal who was walking out of the crowd on the other side.

Montal gave a subtle wink to someone in the banquet hall, went up the stairs to the second floor of the banquet hall, and disappeared into a corridor.

The maid's eyes then turned to the man who exchanged glances with Montal. She vaguely saw a trace of familiarity in the other's unfamiliar appearance and couldn't help but concentrate on thinking.

After a moment, under the gaze of the maid, the man who exchanged glances with Montal put down his plate as usual, paced aimlessly in the banquet hall, and then walked up to the second floor of the banquet hall as if strolling.

If you observe carefully the way the other person goes up the stairs, you will find that there is a slight limp on his left foot.

Left foot lame...

It's him? !
The maid's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Watching the lame man disappear in the same corridor, a cold arc appeared at the corner of the maid's mouth.

Unexpectedly, a big fish was found.
-
"Fortunately, we found it early."

In the abandoned house, Brigadier General Yu collected the equipment of the five men and breathed a sigh of relief. "If we really let them take action, it will be bad."

Lao Luo was in the banquet hall. If the opponent's mage really took action, he would kill the unlucky guy in one encounter.

Yu Zhun himself is not afraid of the opponent's attack, but he is an assassin and has no ability to protect others. When the time comes, he can only curse.

"It's just a bronze-level promotion task, but I encountered a task conflict. I don't know if it's because I'm unlucky or if all promotion tasks are so tricky." Yu Zhun couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

The Mercenary Union is essentially an intermediary agency. The employer of the mercenaries is not the union itself.

The natives from various cities in the dungeon can all be employers, and they can post hiring tasks through the Mercenary Guild.

So it is very normal for these tasks to conflict with each other.

Some missions are direct conflicts, for example, one mission is to protect someone, and another mission is to kill the same person.

Some tasks are indirect conflicts, such as Yu Zhun’s current situation.

Thinking about it carefully, he was really a little scared.

If he hadn't met the gray-robed man Al, he probably wouldn't have been able to find Lao Luo so promptly. If he hadn't found Lao Luo, Lao Luo would have become an innocent victim and died in another raider's mission.

As a result, his mission failed, and he couldn't even find the reason for the failure. The attacking team that caused all this had already run away.

"We have to hurry back to the banquet hall." Yu Zhun's eyes became serious.

Although the probability is very small, what if there are other mercenary missions from other strategy teams that conflict with your own mission?

With a flash of his body, Yu Zhun disappeared on the spot.

A moment later, he returned to the banquet hall without anyone noticing, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lao Luo with both hands and feet intact.

It's good that the person is not dead.

Yu Zhun stood in a corner not far from Lao Luo. He grabbed a plate of delicious food while no one was paying attention and started enjoying it calmly.

These guys eat really well...
-
"Has that batch of stuff been delivered to the sanctuary?"

In a small room on the second floor of the banquet hall, two figures stood facing each other. If other guests were here, they would be surprised to find that Mr. Montal, the host of the banquet, actually showed a respectful look.

"Lord Pello, the stuff has been delivered."

Montal forced a smile and said, "Even if we have to sacrifice other things, our Chamber of Commerce will do its best to get this done. Please rest assured."

"Very good." Pero was very satisfied with Montal's attitude and nodded slightly, "But the current efficiency is not enough."

"Some things have changed and we need to prepare more quickly to deal with possible changes."

"Lord Pello, what change are you talking about?" Montal's expression suddenly became nervous.

Pero was silent for a moment, and then spoke word by word, "I suspect that the capital may have received the news."

"What?!" Montal's body shook violently, his face slightly pale, "Is it so fast?"

"Don't panic, it's just a possibility." Pero said in a deep voice, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes, "That guy York is too difficult to kill."

York…

Outside the closed door, the silver-haired maid's eyes suddenly became sharp when she heard the name.

It sounds like York, the Lord of Welsh City, has been targeted by these guys and has even tried to take action?
It seems that the situation is worse than she thought.

No, calm down!

The maid stroked the jeweled ring on her right hand.

The secret treasure [Ring of Silence] can reduce the wearer's presence to the extreme, making it unnoticed by others.

But there is a condition for this effect to last, that is, the wearer's breathing must not be disordered. Once the breathing frequency changes, the secret treasure will become ineffective.

She would continue to listen.

If possible, it is best to let the other party tell you the location of the "sanctuary"!

That is the place where the deepest secrets of Lant City are buried. If we can find it...

A hint of determination flashed in the maid's eyes.

She will definitely find it there!

Hearing the voices coming from the room again, the maid calmed herself down and continued listening.

"Sir, what should we do next?" Inside the house, Montal calmed down his previous panic and couldn't help but speak.

"Next, the speed at which the goods arrive will have to double." Pero said in a deep voice, "If we don't have enough manpower, we'll hire more!"

"If there's not enough time, let them work overtime!"

"Money, we have plenty of it!"

"Now, it's time to use money to buy time!"

"Please rest assured, sir. We understand this." Montal nodded repeatedly, then looked embarrassed, "But the Mercenary Union..."

"From a very early time, mercenaries have been constantly entering Lant City, interfering with our operations in various ways. I heard that recently such missions have not only not decreased, but have increased."

"Mulder, that short-sighted and stubborn idiot, is actually the easiest to deal with." Pero snorted, "Isn't it just spending money?"

"If one mission targets us, we will spend money to issue ten or a hundred missions to target us back!"

"Mercenaries?" Pero sneered. "A bunch of mercenaries, they have plenty of ways to use them for our benefit."

"Your Excellency is wise." With Pero's words, Montal felt relieved. He thought for a moment and lowered his voice, "But Your Excellency..."

"Will more frequent shipments into the sanctuary expose the sanctuary's location?"

Sanctuary!

When the maid heard the mention of "sanctuary" in the house, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

However, as the voices became lowered, the words coming out of the room became intermittent, which made the maid feel anxious.

Asshole! Speak louder!

In order to hear more clearly, she couldn't help holding her breath.

The next moment, the maid's pupils shrank.

Oops!

Inside the house, Pero smiled calmly, "Don't worry, the sanctuary has multiple protections and concealment measures, and it is located in..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly realized something and looked towards the door. "Who?!"

The moment he shouted, Pero pounced on the door like a beast. The door shattered to pieces and a figure fleeing in panic came into view.

"Sir?!" Montal rushed out in astonishment, his face turning pale and blue as he watched the scene.

Pero's expression was extremely gloomy.

What they just mentioned were all extremely secretive matters. I wonder how much the eavesdropper heard.

"Chase!"
-
"boom!!!"

A loud roar suddenly came from the second floor of the banquet hall, instantly quieting the guests who were talking loudly on the first floor of the banquet hall.

Yu Zhun, who had just finished showing off a plate of food, suddenly looked towards the second floor of the banquet hall and soon saw two figures, one chasing and the other fleeing, rushing down from the second floor.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

no…

What the fuck is this?
Could it be that there is another conflict in the strategy team's mission?

Yu Zhun couldn't help but look at Lao Luo who was not far away.

As if frightened by the noise, Lao Luo was trying to curl up in the corner of the banquet hall, making Yu Zhun nod in satisfaction.

What I fear most are those who are protected but still rush forward to watch the fun.

It would be best if the people being protected were self-aware.

As long as the opponent's target is not Lao Luo, given the level of chaos on the field, the probability of Lao Luo being affected should not be high.

As Yu Zhun was thinking, the fleeing silver-haired maid looked around quickly, and then rushed towards Lao Luo without hesitation.

Yu Zhun: “?”

The silver-haired maid's facial features quickly became clear in his eyes.

Although the gender was different, he had just seen this face not long ago.

It's Al.

Yu Zhun: “???”

"Don't come over!!!"
