Litt took his tableware and sat next to Orson. As if he was worried that Orson and Olivia would misunderstand him, Litt deliberately sat a little further away from Orson.
It was probably only about one centimeter farther than usual at home, but in Litt's opinion, this was already a huge concession to Olivia.
"Haha, it seems that Litov is still very attached to his brother." Olivia said with a smile.
"Of course, after all, Orson is the only one who has always been the best to me~" Lit did not deny it, but nodded proudly.
"Isn't it normal for brothers to sit together?"
"That's true." Olivia admitted. "We are brothers after all."
Lit was no fool, of course he could understand the meaning of the latter sentence.
Obviously, Olivia wanted to make Litt back down.
Lit smiled and said nothing.
I've been very busy these days. When I'm done with my work, you, Olivia, will definitely not have any chance of getting away with it!
As he said this, Lit secretly glared at Olivia, and Olivia gave him an indifferent look in return.
Lianka looked at the two people, although she also wanted
I wanted to interrupt, but at this moment, I don’t know why, I inexplicably feel that silence is the best way.
Really, I never see my sister and Leeteuk have any conflicts normally, so why do I always feel that there is a sense of tension when these two people talked today?
Orson, on the other hand, was eating in silence.
Keeping silent is the best way to deal with these problems.
……
Two days later, the agreed meeting day arrived.
At daybreak, Mudrick woke up.
He didn't sleep well in the mercenary group's base for the past two days.
I simply moved to a hotel yesterday.
After all, it always feels a bit strange to sleep alone in a large empty room, and Mudrick is always worried that someone will sneak into the room in the middle of the night and kill him.
Although a seventh-level strongman basically does not have to worry about being assassinated in his sleep, because the body has an early warning mechanism, it will send itself a signal to wake itself up when encountering danger.
But what if the other party releases a high-level paralysis potion?
Of course, if the other party can really get the potion that can paralyze a seventh-level strongman, then he will lose sooner or later.
Anyway, in this line of work, you can get paid in the morning and die in the evening. Mudrick has already prepared himself mentally.
After tidying up his clothes, Mudrick looked in the mirror again to make sure everything was correct, then walked out of the inn and came to the city gate.
Turning back, Mudrick took one last look at the streets of Saint Laurent City and walked out.
He has to give an explanation to his brothers, and also to himself.
When he arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the city, as expected, he saw a man standing on the roadside waiting for him from a distance. When the man saw Mudrick coming over, he bowed to him.
"Captain Mudrick, follow me." Having said this, he turned his head and exposed his back to Mudrick without caring, and just led the way in front.
Mudrick frowned, not knowing what the other party was thinking, but given the current situation, he could only take one step at a time.
He followed the other person into the depths of the woods, and then saw a familiar figure in a clearing in the woods.
Litt, Virgil, and behind them, several members of the Iron Wolf Mercenaries who were tied up.
"Captain Mudrick, long time no see." Litt said this with a smile.
It was as if she had forgotten the verbal humiliation Mudrick had hurled at her a few days ago.
"It's been a long time since we last met. I've been missing you these days, Mr. Litt." Mudrick said this and licked his lips, making Litt feel nauseous.
But considering that this was a negotiation, Litt still suppressed his inner discomfort and said, "Captain Mudrick, although we had a lot of unpleasant experiences before, I still hope that we can make peace with each other."
"I know that as mercenaries, what you value most is money. Doing things for others is just doing it for money. You did nothing wrong." Litt said.
"But because you overestimated your own strength this time and failed to complete the commission, you have offended us." Lit said this and looked at Mudrick. "I hope you can tell me who instructed you to do this."
"In this way, I can release your men and compensate you with a sum of money, and from now on, our feud will be written off."
"But you're not sincere enough." Mudrick spotted the problem with his sharp eyes. "I have more men than you have now, right?"
"In order to prevent you from taking them all away here by force, I deliberately only brought out some of them," Litt explained.
After all, she couldn't just say, "All of you brothers did bad things, and the doctor brought them all to justice." Right?
What's there to talk about? Just start fighting.
"Okay, then you are quite alert." Mudrick didn't say anything after hearing this, but just nodded and accepted this statement.
"However, you should also know that mercenaries never ask about the identity of their employers. They only care about the money in their hands."
"Besides, do you think the people who are doing this would care about spending more money to ask an agent to issue the task?" Mudrick sneered and looked at Litt.
"...So, there's nothing to talk about?" Li Te said in a suppressed voice.
"It's not that there is no problem to discuss, but that it is impossible to discuss at all." Mudrick shook his head. "In this mission, the client is the middleman. Do you need me to explain it to you?"
"Need not
"Leet shook his head. "But, since the other party is willing to find you, they must believe in your strength, right?"
"Your previous cooperation was not all completed through agents, right?" Litt said, looking at Mudrick.
"You little brat, what do you know?!" Mudrick was shocked when he heard that Litt knew all this.
The other party must know something.
He had the habit of keeping accounts and saving contracts, and thinking about the disappearance of people that night, Mudrick immediately guessed what had happened.
My own house has definitely been invaded!
They secretly looked through their own information.
This is the only possibility.
Thinking of this, Mudrick stared at Litt.
"Boy, don't you know it's rude to barge into someone else's room? Is this what you call sincerity?"
"Sincerity is something that depends on each person." Lit shrugged helplessly. "I think you, Captain Mudrick, are likely to hide something from us, so I'll do this."
"Okay, okay." Mudrick nodded. "Then it seems we don't need to talk anymore."
At this time, he drew his sword from his waist.
"Let him go now, or die. You choose!" Mudrick looked at Litt.
"I think you may have thought too much." Litt said this, smiled nonchalantly, and then clapped his hands.
In the shadow of the woods, the orange-haired half-orc girl who had saved Leeteuk and his men that day walked out.
She stood in front of Litt, staring at Mudrick.
"Captain Mudrick, do you think you can beat this guy?" Lit smiled. "Now it's my turn to make the conditions, right? Hand over all the confidential documents in your storage ring."
"Otherwise..." Litt said this, drew Virgil's sword, and walked to the prisoners behind him.
"I will kill one of your brothers every minute." As she said this, her tone was tainted with a hint of ruthlessness.
That night she looked over all the contracts for the Iron Wolf Mercenaries.
The further he turned the pages, the more turbulent Leeteuk's heart became.
As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. As the commissioned party, the mercenary group should be evaluated separately from the commissioned event.
But after seeing all the evil things the Iron Wolf Mercenaries did later, Litt decided not to let anyone from the Iron Wolf Mercenaries go.
Yes, mercenaries do things for money, but it is precisely because they do everything that the nobles unscrupulously use the mercenaries as their black gloves.
There are a number of mercenary groups in society that only take on legitimate business, such as escorting caravans and rescuing hostages. Although they don't make much money, at least they don't harm anyone.
What the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group did could be understood as a way to make a living before, but afterwards it completely deteriorated and turned into taking illegal jobs to make money.
Many mercenaries with ideals and ambitions chose to withdraw from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group after seeing its missions, and most of those who stayed here were people who were willing to give up all morals for money.
Do you feel guilty about killing these people?
Obviously not.
If the doctor was at the scene at this moment and saw what Litt did, he would definitely applaud Litt.
He thought that Lit was just a child, but he didn't expect that Lit had become mature.
At least, the aspect of not showing mercy makes him very much like Orson.
(PS: This chapter is a little late, but considering that it is 1 words, you will definitely forgive me, right? By the way, please give me a monthly ticket. I had already reached the 13th place of the month, but now it is almost falling out of the top 20. I obviously need to update so much.)
Chapter 8: Do you think I'm a level ? (K)
"Mr. Litt, do you think I'm too kind?" Mudrick said this and looked at Litt with a smile.
"My brothers have followed me through life and death for many years and have experienced all kinds of storms," Mudrick continued.
"I treat them well on a daily basis. The salaries and mission bonuses I give them are among the highest in the Imperial City. Since the day they joined the group, they have been prepared to die one day."
"Do you think you can threaten me by using them?"
"Yeah, it's not a threat." Lit nodded after hearing that.
Then she winked at the orange-haired girl, who nodded, rushed forward, drew her sword and stabbed Mudrick.
Seeing this, Mudrick also drew his sword and fought with the orc girl.
……
Go back to one day ago.
Inside the café in Saint Laurent City.
"Sister Chelinina." Lit looked at Chelinina who was sitting opposite him and gave her a kind smile.
"Mr. Lit, why did you ask me to come here today?" Chelinina looked at Lit and asked with some confusion.
She was doing business in Saint Laurent City these two days, and Litt didn't know from whom he got the information, but he actually took the initiative to find Chelinina.
Chelinina looked at Lit across from her with some emotion.
The last time she saw Lit, she was still the little brother who only followed Orson, being timid and afraid to bother others. She didn't expect that Lit has grown to the point where he can be so polite and generous when meeting people alone.
After all, the relationship between himself and Li Te was not that good, and the only connection between the two was Orson.
"No need to be so polite, just call me Litsu, Sister Chelinina." Litsu smiled.
"Okay, Lit." Upon hearing this, Chelinina also showed a relaxed smile.
"What's the matter with you looking for me this time?"
"That..." Litt said this, still feeling a little embarrassed, and then she looked up at Chelinina.
"Sister Chelinina, didn't Orson tell me before that if I have any financial problems, I can come to you."
"Ah, Orson did say that." Hearing that, Chelinina nodded. "What's wrong? Have you spent the three thousand gold coins I gave you last time?"
After hearing what Litt said, Chelinina finally knew why Litt was looking for her.
To put it bluntly, there is not enough money, so I have to ask myself for money.
Thinking of this, Chelinina's opinion of Lit changed again.
Is this what they call the easy transition from frugality to extravagance?
Lit had lived in the countryside before, and Chelinina undoubtedly knew this.
Unexpectedly, within just a few months of entering the Duke's house, money had become worthless in her eyes.
Three thousand gold coins is a huge sum of money even if it is used as living expenses for a nobleman. If you live in the Imperial Academy and don't have any bad habits, you won't be able to spend so much money.
Could it be that this Leeteuk is a born prodigal?
Thinking of this, Chelinina regretted her previous decision to bet on Litt.
