Boom boom boom!
A crisp tapping sound.
"Sir, this is McDonald's delivery service. Your pizza has arrived." A gentle male voice came from outside the door.
"Who ordered this? Didn't we say tonight's operation was confidential?" The head of the bodyguards looked around at his subordinates and said somewhat angrily.
“It was probably ordered by those guys upstairs. We’ve been moving things for so long, we’re definitely a bit hungry. How about we…” Another bodyguard rubbed his stomach, as if to say, “How about we take this opportunity to dirty their stuff?”
The bodyguard leader who had spoken earlier thought for a moment. The group had been busy since after dinner and definitely needed to replenish their energy. As for their companions upstairs, they should focus on their work and not slack off.
"Just leave it at the door, you can go back now."
"But this pizza was ordered from the office on the third floor, and I have to deliver it to the customer myself..."
"Don't you understand that I'm telling you to leave your things and go?"
"Anyway, we're coming in. Please stay away from the door, it wouldn't be good if you got hurt." Even after being sternly reprimanded, the delivery guy didn't leave, but continued to talk to himself.
Injuried?
The head of the bodyguards standing behind the door looked puzzled.
boom!
The next second, amidst the clamor of the party officially starting, and seeing the thick security door break free of its frame and fly straight towards him, he finally understood the meaning of those words.
A tall, burly man with a thick beard slowly walked into the hall. He picked up the security door from the unconscious head bodyguard and grinned at the other bodyguards who were stunned.
"The delivery guy works so hard, it's one thing not to give him a tip, but at least say thank you! You guys are so rude!" said a man whose face was obscured, who was following behind the burly man with the thick beard.
Judging from his voice, he was the one who was negotiating with the bodyguards just now.
Before anyone could react, the burly man with the thick beard charged forward, carrying the security door. The feeling of that thing hitting your face... it really hurt like hell.
……
Kronin didn't leave behind many trusted confidants. Although they were stronger than ordinary Reunion thugs, their strength was only limited. In front of elite operators, they were like lambs. Qin Duanyu and his group arrived at the mayor's office with almost no hindrance.
"Doctor, it may take a little while. I've only been here a few times when I was a child, so it will take some time for me to remember." After saying this, Ceylon fumbled around in the office.
Finally, her gaze fell on Hermann's portrait, which she lifted to reveal a safe.
The password... What would her father use as the password? She was about to try when ACE suddenly shoved her aside.
"careful!"
A bullet was stuck in the security door; if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, Ceylon would have been wounded.
Are these people crazy? They even want to kill the young lady?
“ACE, these people are different from those during the day. We don’t need to worry too much during the fight; we can go all out if necessary.” Qin Duanyu said in a low voice, looking at the row of red dots.
Although the bodyguards looked fierce during the day, they were still blue dots from God's perspective, indicating that they did not intend to kill Qin Duanyu. However, the shocking red color and the direct attack on Ceylon at this moment showed that Kronin was planning to tear off the mask and go all out.
“I must say, you are indeed very bold. Is it because you are confident in this gentleman’s abilities that you dare to return to the city hall?” Kronin stepped forward, his glasses gleaming. “Unfortunately, I have already moved the important materials away. Your efforts to find evidence are doomed to failure.”
This time, he brought only his trusted men and mercenaries, equipped with lethal weapons. Unlike during the day, he was no longer constrained. Even if he ordered these men to kill Ceylon, no one would hesitate.
Although the burly man guarding the door was formidable, he simply couldn't believe that a pharmaceutical company's security guards could be that strong, relying solely on a security door to face a group of well-trained and heavily armed mercenaries.
"Who exactly told you we're here to find evidence?" Qin Duanyu provocatively asked, relying on the protection of ACE. "Did you just guess? If so, you're not only wicked and stupid, but you're also incredibly arrogant for deceiving people with a fake diploma."
"You...get him! Take down these three troublesome guys!" Kronin's temples were bulging with veins; this bastard was hitting him where it hurt again.
"Found it!" Ceylon tried several passwords and finally entered her birthday. The safe opened with a click. Without even looking at the jewelry and valuables inside, she took out an inconspicuous black cube.
"Is this Herman's obsidian seal?" Kronin's eyes widened. This inconspicuous black seal was the token Herman used to issue important decrees. He had always thought that Herman carried it with him, but he never expected that it would be kept in his office.
Even as the mayor's assistant, he didn't have this seal; he could only sign his name on documents. If he could borrow this, his plans would proceed a hundred times more smoothly.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. He had been in this office for months, yet he hadn't thought of that at all.
But now, it doesn't matter anymore. He's surrounded by his own people, and a dead object can't cause any trouble. Does Ceylon think he can order him around with that?
What a big joke!
"In the name of Mayor Siesta, Rhodes Island is hired to carry out a special disaster relief mission. The contract is concluded." Unexpectedly, Ceylon took a contract from Qin Duanyu, stamped it with Herman's special seal, and then put it into the scanner for filing.
Thus, without Herman's knowledge, he became Rhode Island's employer.
Strictly speaking, this document has no binding force, but it is enough as a reason for Rhodes Island to get involved. If it is really investigated later, it will be said that the mayor's daughter stole the mayor's seal without authorization, and Rhodes Island will be kept in the dark.
In the past, there was Lord Xinling who stole the tally to save Zhao; now, there is Ceylon who stole the seal to save Siesta. Perhaps this story will even be recorded in textbooks so that future elementary school students in Siesta will have to memorize it.
Chapter 32, Section 140: Don't you care about the child in Miss's belly?
The atmosphere in the mayor's office was somewhat awkward.
"That's it!?" Kronin couldn't help but sneer.
He admitted that Qin Duanyu's behavior was somewhat unexpected, but the fact that this guy went to such lengths to deliver himself to their doorstep just to find something so worthless and sign a contract with a city that was about to be destroyed was really... hard to explain.
If he really fell into the trap to find evidence, Kronin would feel a little better.
It's like you painstakingly prepare a whole bunch of methods to kill your enemy, only for that guy to pull out a bag of rat poison, feed it to himself, and then say before he dies, "Didn't expect that, did you!"
This bastard actually had the nerve to call him stupid. Such bizarre behavior goes beyond just being stupid.
Are you crazy?!
Despite the annoyance, Kronin had no intention of letting this person who had angered him several times live. With a wave of his hand, several mercenaries stepped forward to entangle ACE, while two snipers with guns aimed at the defenseless Qin Duanyu and Ceylon.
"Hmph, although I'd love for Herman to see his beloved city and daughter perish in the natural disaster, since you insist on courting death, I'll just collect my dues in advance..."
Boom!
Two gunshots rang out in quick succession.
Kronin was about to scold his men for being so insensible and not letting him finish speaking when he discovered that Qin Duanyu and Ceylon were unharmed, while the two snipers were lying on the ground.
"What...what's going on!?" Kronin quickly hid behind a heavily armed mercenary, guarding against an enemy sneak attack.
"So you have no idea what this contract means, or what you're about to face." Qin Duanyu glanced at Kronin sympathetically and gave a thumbs-up to a bright spot on the roof of the building opposite.
HOPE, well done!
"Just the two of them?" Kronin felt a little more at ease seeing the heavily armed guards blocking their way and gradually closing in on ACE.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a mercenary in full heavy armor was swatted away by ACE like a baseball with a security door. Although the heavy armor could withstand HOPE’s bullets, it could not stop the force of a blunt weapon.
Looking at the slightly deformed security door and then at their silent companions, the remaining mercenaries swallowed hard. For a moment, none of them dared to step forward. Instead, they were forced to retreat by ACE.
One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.
At that moment, screams came from the back of the group again.
Aodi and his men, who had been lurking in the shadows, attacked after receiving Qin Duanyu's message, enjoying the thrill of causing chaos. Kronin's men were trapped in the middle, with two men advancing and retreating at the same time.
"Damn it, hurry up and figure out a way to break out of here! What are you guys even doing?!" Kronin glanced at his watch and said urgently.
They originally thought that dealing with Qin Duanyu and his group would be a piece of cake, but they didn't expect that the guard to be so powerful, and that even though there were only a few people on the other side, he managed to surround them.
"Boss, it's not that our mercenary group is weak, it's just that they... are really too powerful!" The Ursus man who looked like the leader was quite capable, as he still had time to speak after blocking Jiejie.
He was also puzzled. His men, while not all of them were top-notch, were still quite skilled in the industry. If it weren't for the high price offered by Kronin, he wouldn't have wanted to take on such an unchallenging task.
Who knew they'd run into such a formidable opponent? Even the Sarkaz mercenary groups, standing at the pinnacle of the mercenary world, might not be a match for these people.
"Bullshit! They're just security guards from a pharmaceutical company. To put it bluntly, you're all too weak to even make excuses!" Kronin curled his lip, but he still needed them at the moment, so he could only suppress his curses.
In his distress, he saw a window.
A few hours ago, Qin Duanyu had pulled Xilan down from there. Seeing that these good-for-nothings were about to be overwhelmed, it was best to find a way to escape first.
"Go, jump out the window!" he hissed, leaping out with a perfect hurdle-jumping motion.
tie!
A muffled thud.
Which bastard moved that pile of hay! Kronin felt his butt go numb, stood up shakily, and just as he picked up his glasses from the ground and put them on, he noticed a butt getting closer and closer to his face.
The mercenary leader followed closely behind and had a close encounter with Kronin.
"Move your fat ass away!" The mercenary captain was still wondering why he didn't feel any pain and even felt a little comfortable after jumping down, even though he was skilled enough not to be injured. Then a muffled shout came from his buttocks.
After helping Kronin up and counting the number of people, he realized with dismay that of the original dozens of people, less than half remained. Judging from the gradually weakening screams from upstairs, they probably wouldn't last much longer.
"Hurry up and leave, wait, what's going on over there..." Kronin was just about to call his men to leave when he noticed a large crowd gathering not far away.
"Mr. Kronin, are you alright?" The bodyguard at the front asked quickly when he saw his disheveled appearance.
"I'm alright, but the enemy attacked the city hall!" Seeing that the head bodyguard was one of his own, he was slightly relieved, then pretended to be anxious and said to the man next to him, "Hey, they've bewitched the young lady and might be planning a coup. We must stop them!"
Just then, the Rhodes Island group dealt with the remaining mercenaries and stormed out of the city hall, looking anything but like good people.
"It's them, Black, get them!" Kronin looked at Black and suddenly felt more confident.
He knew the girl's strength all too well; she was definitely not comparable to these useless mercenaries. Even if she couldn't withstand the opponent's superior numbers and would eventually be defeated, she could still hold out for quite some time.
Hei walked over without saying a word. ACE and the others recognized her as the skilled sniper on the beach and immediately increased their vigilance, fearing she might suddenly attack.
“Miss, I’ve read that letter. I’m sorry, I apologize for my past words and actions.” To everyone’s surprise, Black lowered his weapon and looked at Ceylon solemnly, saying, “You are my friend, always have been.”
“That’s great, I thought…” Ceylon rushed over and hugged Black tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing? Mr. Herman instructed me before he left that you must obey my orders!" Cronin had no interest in this scene of blooming lilies, and he shouted impatiently.
“It’s just a disguise. The master’s real order is for me to gather evidence against you.” Black curled his lip, looking at Kronin as if he were a clown.
In her letter to Ceylon, besides sharing her thoughts during this period, she also told her about Kronin's deliberate concealment of the volcanic eruption. This alone was enough to prove his ill intentions, and there was no need to play along with his act anymore.
Before the latter could say anything more, ACE and the others had already charged forward.
"Miss, let's put aside our reminiscing for now. What are your plans for the future?" Seeing that Ceylon wanted to say something more, he shook his head with a dark smile.
Then she raised her heavy crossbow and aimed it at Qin Duanyu: "As for you, it's one thing to deceive Miss with sweet words, but you even got her pregnant with your child! You took Miss to do such dangerous things, didn't you care about the child in her belly?"
Although Hei's voice wasn't loud, ACE and the others heard it clearly, and the security door in the muscular man's hand almost fell to the ground.
This... I'm afraid even contracting all the chamber pots in the medical department wouldn't be enough.
