"So that's why you went to find him?"
Molly looked at the man in the black mask and frowned slightly.
Cowboy said:
"I know that you were upset because he almost stole our business before, but one thing is one thing. His ability is not bad, and you should know how rare snipers are. If you don't want to work alone in the future, it's better to talk to him."
Molly had no intention of going it alone.
A mercenary working alone is free, but in other places he will be more or less restricted.
Take cowboys as an example.
A lot of his work requires the assistance of a hacker, so a lot of his compensation has to be shared with the hacker.
Some troublesome commissions require more people to help, and most importantly, the money paid for these commissions is not much.
But it would be different if it was a complete team.
Not only do the members of the team have complementary responsibilities, but they are also able to accept higher commissions.
It is not impossible to get a commission with a reward of over one million.
This is also why Molly is willing to work with the cowboy.
The cowboy might be a little weak in terms of strength, but he has some skills and experience to have survived to this day. Molly can learn a lot from him.
Moreover, when the two of them are combined together, they can barely be considered a mercenary team, and the chances of receiving high-level commissions will be greatly increased.
Now Cowboy decided to recruit new members because of the above reasons.
Since the decision has been made to form a team, the personnel within the team cannot remain unchanged. Since there is a sniper with relatively good strength who can be recruited into the team, he naturally cannot be missed.
Chapter 72 Aren’t They Innocent? (Seventh update, please subscribe!!!)
A3 looked at the young lady in front of him.
At this moment, the young lady still had the wolf-face mask on her face, but even through the mask, A3 could feel that the young lady disliked him.
A3 knows why.
Because when he killed Jim in a fit of rage, the young lady was upset.
But there was no way. Jim's performance at that time was extraordinary. A3 was not sure whether he had a more powerful trump card. What if Jim's strength suddenly exceeded the young lady's ability to cope and the young lady was injured? Then A3 would be derelict in his duty.
That's why A3 blew Jim's head off without hesitation.
And it's not just A3, A1...that is, Usami Airi, she should have taken action as well.
However, because the two of them fired at the same time, and Usami Airi's sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer, Molly and the others did not hear the gunshot from Usami Airi.
The two men attacked at the same time to protect the young lady. Although according to subsequent inferences, the young lady should have a way to deal with Jim, A3 did not regret shooting.
It is only possible that the young lady has a way to deal with Jim, but it is certain that Jim will hurt the young lady, so A3 does not think that what he did at that time was wrong.
As for now... A3 didn't think it was a problem that he had caused the young lady's disgust.
He took off his mask on his own initiative, revealing a slightly immature face of a young man, and said to the young lady in front of him:
"My name is Chen Qi. I don't have my own code name yet. Mr. Cowboy invited me here."
A3, who goes by the alias Chen Qi, reached out his hand to the young lady with a gentle smile.
But Molly in front of him just glanced at his hand, then turned her eyes away to the cowboy:
"I know what you mean, and I agree that we should have more people on the team, but isn't it a bit too arbitrary to just let someone join like that? You should know that I'm in a lot of trouble."
"Of course I know……"
The cowboy was about to say something helplessly, but Chen Qi just happened to ask curiously: "Trouble? Did Miss Red Wolf offend anyone?"
"It seems that the cowboy didn't tell you. I'm too lazy to explain. Since he found you, let him explain it."
Molly said nothing more and just sat there silently drinking her juice.
Seeing this, the cowboy smiled awkwardly, coughed dryly, and explained to Chen Qi:
"It's like this. I don't know who issued an assassination request for Red Wolf. Although Red Wolf hasn't encountered any other enemies yet, as long as the request is still there, Red Wolf will be in danger. I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before..."
It’s not that I didn’t tell you, it’s that I didn’t have the time to tell you.
Carrying a commission can be big or small. Stronger mercenaries will have some assassination commissions from their enemies. As long as the matter is made clear, it is not a big deal.
Cowboy originally wanted to build a relationship with Chen Qi first, have a drink or go to a nightclub together to build up a good relationship, and then tell this matter.
But he didn't expect that Molly's words would completely disrupt his plan.
But the cowboy couldn't blame Molly for anything. What she said was right. He had an assassination commission on hand. If he just casually dragged a stranger in, what if this person had bad intentions? Wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?
Of course, the cowboys were not completely unprepared.
Before this, he also asked Kyoko to investigate Chen Qi's background, and only after confirming that it was safe did he bring him here for the meeting.
Besides, Cowboys have not decided to let Chen Qi join the team immediately. The admission assessment still exists. If Chen Qi really has problems, Cowboys will definitely not bring him into the team.
"I see..." Chen Qi suddenly realized, and with a little hesitation on his face, he said: "I don't care about the commission, but..."
As Chen Qi spoke, he looked at Molly who was sitting there a few more times.
"What? Is something wrong?"
Molly cast a cold gaze from beneath her mask.
Chen Qi glanced at the cowboy, then turned to look at Molly, and said:
"I just feel that Miss Red Wolf's aura is different from the previous battle. You need to be calmer now..."
"Does this have anything to do with what we're talking about now?"
Molly asked coldly.
Chen Qi said helplessly: "I am a very curious person. To be honest, the way Miss Red Wolf fought before was really... impressive, so I asked."
This is a lie.
In fact, it was Usami Airi who insisted that he ask this question clearly.
Molly's performance in the battle tonight scared Usami Airi to death.
It's not that Usami Airi hasn't seen Molly fighting. When she was performing in front of her house, Usami Airi saw how Molly dealt with her neighbors.
Decisive, calm, and without mercy for the enemy.
Such a little lady made Usami Airi feel both distressed and relieved. At that time, Usami Airi felt that the little lady must appear normal on the surface, but must be very hurt deep down.
But the result...
What did you show during the battle today? !
Are you crazy?!
No... that's not right. You can't use such an impolite word as crazy to describe the young lady...
But anyway, that kind of madness, that kind of sick smile and excitement, all frightened Usami Airi.
If Usami Airi could still make excuses before, saying that the young lady's cold-bloodedness was influenced by the City of Chaos, and that she must have other thoughts in her heart... then after seeing the young lady's performance today, Usami Airi could no longer continue to think so.
She even thought about contacting her family and asking the young lady to see a psychologist or something...
It was because of this worry in her heart that Usami Airi asked A3 to get to the bottom of this matter.
She doesn't want her little lady to become so crazy!
…Though the yandere attribute seems pretty good too?
Chen Qi didn't know what was going on in Usami Airi's mind, but he really wanted to figure it out, so even though the topic was awkward, Chen Qi still asked the question.
Then Chen Qi saw the young lady was silent for a moment, then she pointed her finger at the cowboy and said:
"He asked me to do it."
cowboy:"???"
The silent cowboy had a lot of question marks on his head.
What the hell? When did I ever tell you to do that?
Just as I was about to ask, I heard Molly continue: "You told me to act a little wilder."
"what……"
The cowboy thought calmly and analyzed the situation carefully. His hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly. “…It seems to be the case.”
He did say before the battle that he wanted Molly to act a little arrogant.
But...arrogance is different from madness, right? You can put the blame on me?
The cowboy thought Molly was looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility, but he had no evidence because he had said that before.
But Cowboy was not panicked at all, because he believed that Chen Qi should be able to analyze that Molly was lying. After all, the crazy look Molly had shown before did not look like acting at all.
Thinking of this, the cowboy glanced at Chen Qi, but found that Chen Qi was looking at him with a very strange look, and there was even a hint of disgust in that look.
No...you didn't believe it, did you...?
Chen Qi's gaze hurt the cowboy a little. He was about to explain when Molly suddenly stood up and said:
"It's late. I should go back now, Cowboy. I'll leave Yager to you."
"Red Wolf, I think..."
"You'll be responsible for recruiting new members. I don't care about that anyway. That's it. I'm leaving now."
Molly said, and left the room without hesitation.
Inside the private room, Cowboy and Chen Qi looked at each other. After a long while, Cowboy finally spoke:
"Mr. Chen Qi, what Red Wolf just said..."
"It's okay. I understand. Sometimes, acting skills are indeed required to complete a commission. Miss Red Wolf's acting skills are very good."
Chen Qi nodded to show his understanding, then very considerately skipped the topic and talked about business:
"Let's talk about joining the team."
cowboy:"……"
Well, now you can’t wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River.
.........
The action against Yager did not bother Molly.
Jim died, Lydia died at home, and both of Yager's backers died. It is very difficult to survive in the Skeleton Gang.
The situation within the Skeleton Gang is very complicated. Although there are rules of helping each other, how many people can truly abide by them after the death of a key member?
These people would probably just symbolically take care of Yager, and then concentrate on the "work" of fighting for power and profit.
Lydia is a high-ranking member of the Skeleton Gang after all. She has so many assets under her control. Once she dies, all these assets will be like meat in front of her.
There is no time to grab meat at this time, so how can we distract ourselves to take care of a child who just lost his parents.
Of course, care is still necessary. Having a child means there is a name, and the child can grow up smoothly and gain more benefits.
But before the struggle for interests has a result, not many people care about Yager's existence.
The cowboy seized this opportunity. He asked Kyoko to help him forge an identity of a driver. When he was picking up Yager, he kidnapped Yager halfway.
During this period, almost no one noticed that the poor child who had just lost his parents had a sack put on his head and was tied in front of his employer.
“…You guys did a great job.”
Looking at Yager who was tied to a chair and unconscious in front of him, the employer Shi Muxiong said to the cowboy and Molly beside him.
Molly didn't respond, but looked at the cowboy.
The cowboy immediately knew what he should do, sighed and said to Shi Muxiong:
"Mr. Shimu, although we are mercenaries and should not influence our employer's thoughts, I still want to say one thing... This child has done nothing and is innocent."
"..."
The originally calm Shi Muxiong suddenly turned his head and looked at the cowboy, with a bit of anger in his eyes that was difficult to conceal. He suppressed himself and asked word by word:
"Then, my wife and daughter are not innocent."
