Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 50 War begins

Shanying and Tessa had dinner near the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, and then Tessa took him to an unknown small temple...

Shanying was pulled by Tessa to kneel in front of the Buddha statue. After kneeling, Shanying took out some cash to look for the donation box, thinking that since he was already here, he found that this small temple did not accept any money.

This is unreasonable!

Shanying stubbornly stuffed the cash in his hand as a tip to a rookie monk whose eyebrows had been shaved off, and in return he received a blessing...

Seeing Shanying's satisfied look, Tessa pulled him towards the temple's water tower with a strange expression, climbed up to the top of the water tower with the help of the escalator, and used the height to monitor the surrounding roads and the Adakuan Manor a few kilometers away.

Shanying sat on the top of the water tower, looking at Tessa who was laughing non-stop while holding her stomach. He said inexplicably: "Are you crazy?"

Tessa looked at Shanying's expression, rubbed her belly and sat up, and said, "Do you know what he just said?"

Shanying spread his hands and said, "How would I know? But since he took my money, he should at least say a few good words and bless us to have a smooth operation today..."

After hearing this, Tessa covered her face and laughed, "He said, well, he said you are a stupid outsider, haha..."

Shanying heard this, shook his head and said with a smile: "You took my money but didn't say anything nice. The monks here don't know manners and have no financial sense."

Tessa smiled and said, "You are the one who doesn't know manners. If those were real monks, we would have been kicked out right now.

How come I didn't see you were such an asshole before?
Are you Thai or not?

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course I am Thai, but I have not lived here for a few days.

I was just hurt by some money-grubbing temples in the past, so I had a bit of a stress reaction."

As he spoke, Shanying recalled what he had seen recently in Thailand...

One week ago, he saw a family sending off a young man to become a monk, and the next week, the family celebrated for the young man's return to secular life. At that time, he thought that Thai temples were too frivolous...

However, it is true that Thai monks do not ask for money when they go out to beg for alms. Wherever they pass by, people will give them charity, which is actually just a little food, drink and some small daily necessities in exchange for blessings.

The food doesn't have to be too expensive, and there's not much to be particular about. Just give the monks the same food you eat, put it in a plastic bag and give it to them, and you'll get a few words of blessing and thanks in return.

There is also a kind of almsgiving, which is similar to the Catholic confession. If you feel unhappy, you can grab a passing monk, kneel down and tell him the sins in your heart, and then let the monk comfort you.

Thai monks are very particular. You provide me with food and drink, and I listen to your complaints. At the end, I will give you a few blessings and comfort you at the same time.

Although this scene looks strange, it is actually quite good.

Shanying was not angry about the rookie monk scolding him. He happily held up the telescope and observed the situation on the surrounding roads, while adjusting the atmosphere to prevent Tessa's emotions from being pushed too high...

Shanying can take risks himself, but nothing can happen to this young lady!
We must comfort her so that she can stay behind and provide support when we take action.

Shanying is a lone wolf, he is more accustomed to being alone!

The two waited on the top of the water tower until midnight, and then things went as Shanying expected.

First, a few motorcycles appeared, then a few pickup trucks, and then scattered suspicious people began to appear on the road near the village...

Those people didn't know each other, and when they met, the atmosphere began to become a little agitated.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Shanying was wondering why those people did not take any action, the lights in Adaquan's manor a few kilometers away were lit up.

Mountain Eagle, who had been suffering from not being able to see the situation in the manor, immediately raised his telescope...

Adaquan's estate is located near a village in Ratchaburi...

The people in the village live relatively concentratedly, and the rows of white two-story buildings show that the living standards of the people here are quite good. After getting off the highway, we walked along the clean road through the village, and then followed the riverside road straight to the foot of a small hill, and arrived at Adaquan's manor.

In the past, apart from visiting some royal gardens, Shanying had never seen a real manor.

Now that he has seen the real thing, Shanying suddenly realizes that being a big landlord in Thailand is really cool!
With mountains behind and water in front, it’s spring all year round!

Although it is called a manor, it actually only has a very large main house and two small buildings that should be where the servants live. The rest of the place has been converted into a garden.

Shanying didn't know much about architectural design, but the area of Adaquan's garden was definitely much larger than the gardens he had seen in Suzhou.

The manor's garden has no winding paths, but only clusters of flowers that have been neatly trimmed by the gardener for a long time.

The sight of the garden lights on was great, but a large number of armed security personnel appeared in various parts of the estate, making the atmosphere there very tense.

Shanying carefully reviewed the security situation within his field of vision through the telescope. He first realized that Basong's method of using his daughter as a condition for surrender had worked...

The presence of armed security guards in the manor proved that Adakuan was very nervous after receiving the news.

Once a person is afraid of something, he will be more restrained in doing things and leave room for maneuver.

The lights in the manor were bright, indicating that the people inside must have discovered something...

Moving the telescope to look at those suspicious people who didn't move, Shanying realized that it was time for him to act. Without anyone lighting a fire, those gangsters wouldn't dare to charge into a congressman's estate in such a complicated situation...

Shanying reached out and patted Tessa on the shoulder, saying, "Stay here and wait for my notification..."

Tessa said dissatisfiedly: "You want to leave me alone..."

Shanying pointed at a car parked outside the temple and said with a smile: "How could you be alone?

You stay here to support me. Once I find Basong's daughter, you have to find a way to pick me up.

This is the best way. The 191st Special Forces should be almost there, but I am not familiar with them. How can I feel at ease without you helping me coordinate from behind? "

As he spoke, Shanying put his arm around Tessa’s shoulders and shook them, saying seriously, “Listen to me, once the fight starts in the manor, you will go and join the people who are protecting you.

If possible, it would be best to go to the command vehicle of the 191st Special Operations Team to gain some leadership, where you can play a greater role..."

After saying that, Shanying didn't give Tessa a chance to refuse. He slid down the escalator of the water tower, walked to the entrance of the temple, and took out his equipment from the police car...

Hiking shoes, jeans, white T-shirt, bulletproof vest, CZ75 Phantom pistol, Benelli M2 shotgun...

Shanying inserted four pistol magazines into the magazine holsters of his tactical belt and bulletproof vest, arranged his quick-draw holster, hung an ammunition bag full of shotgun shells, and attached an M2 quick-load device to the right abdomen of his bulletproof vest...

It can't be said to be armed to the teeth, but in Shanying's opinion, it should be enough to deal with Thai gangs and ordinary security guards.

After getting everything ready, Shanying put on a backpack, started a dirt bike that he had just bought, slowly rode to a black Honda sedan, and knocked on the window on the driver's side...

After rolling down the car window, Shanying nodded to the middle-aged man with a scar on the corner of his eye and fully armed, then bent down and smiled and greeted two familiar men, Sukka and Geralt, who were also fully armed, in the back seat...

"Tessa received a tip that someone wants to attack Senator Adakuan's estate. I'll go check out the situation. Tessa will be here to join you soon..."

Shanying patted his head and said to the scarred middle-aged man, "Do you have stun grenades and smoke bombs? Lend me a few..."

The scar-faced middle-aged man carefully examined the equipment of the Mountain Eagle, hesitated for a moment, and then made a gesture to Suka in the back seat...

"Our mission is to catch all the gangster gunmen in one fell swoop, so be careful!
The trunk you want is here, take it and use it..."
