Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 554: Finding Faults and Gambling
There were more than 30 men and women of all ages walking and talking in the villa hall...

Peggy's status was obviously still a little inferior, so even though her social skills were maxed out, most people were only willing to deal with her politely after learning about her business, which made her seem a little embarrassed in such occasions.

The appearance of Li Chengji "saved" Peggy. The two were obviously not familiar with each other, but they quickly found some common language by using Shanying as the object of teasing, and even felt that they had met too late.

Shanying looked at the two girls who made the adjective "plastic sisters" come to life, and he suddenly shook his head with amusement.

Shanying really couldn't hear a word of the topics among women, including some slightly inappropriate obscene words.

But he clearly felt that Peggy was Li Chengji's target, or prey!

Many people have seen the scene where a big guy at a drinking table specifically introduces a little brother to others...

This can be a form of support and also a display of strength!
High-level cocktail parties are events that many people want to participate in. They invite you, then let you feel isolated, and then stand up and help you.

Peggy is also a powerful character. She obviously sensed Li Chengji's intention. Whenever she felt that she was suppressed, she would seek compensation from Shanying.

After a few words, before Shanying had even finished his glass of wine, Peggy naturally took his arm and chatted and laughed with Li Chengji enthusiastically. As her body swayed, her huge breasts kept rubbing against Shanying's arm.

Shanying looked at Li Chengji who always glanced at him with a half-smile in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows and turned his attention to other places...

Even without the Golden Cicada, the Mountain Eagle's hearing is excellent...

A few men gathered nearby, discussing the recent trend of drug prices, and also talking about the inflation in South America caused by the dollar problem...

A bald middle-aged man was discussing the arms business with the people around him on the sofa in the living room. He seemed very dissatisfied with the payment ability of the guerrillas in the Middle East.

Several women gathered around a small table, discussing things like gems, ivory, rare furs, and gossiping about problems with the smuggling routes in Europe, which had led to higher costs for their European counterparts.

Several middle-aged people with obvious elite temperaments quietly discussed virtual currency transactions, foreign exchange counter-trading, related transactions and other issues...

Next to the piano, a middle-aged bald man with greasy curly hair was telling a few people about New York anecdotes...

It's like a guy called the Jackal is killing people there, and an organization called the Glory Society is being humiliated there.

This kind of underground drinking party opened Shanying's eyes. Apart from gossip, basically everything they talked about was illegal.

Drug trade, money laundering trade, smuggling trade, whatever you can think of, you can find suitable partners here.

The guy who was talking loudly beside the piano kept looking at Li Chengji and Shanying while he was talking, which made him frown slightly...

"Are you right?"

Feeling his arm being gently pulled, Shanying turned his head to look at Peggy who was smiling. He nodded subconsciously and said, "You are right..."

Peggy was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, looked at Shanying with seductive eyes, and said: "Ms. Li said you are very strong, do you have time after the cocktail party?

I especially want to feel how strong a man is who can give those big shots a headache!"

Li Chengji looked at Shanying's inexplicable gaze and said with a smile, "I just said that all men are visual animals that cannot stand the test.

Paige thought you were more than superficial, but you seem to have disappointed her."

Shanying sighed helplessly after hearing this. He skillfully pulled his arm out and took two glasses of champagne from a passing waiter. He politely handed them to the two ladies and asked them to replace the champagne they had finished drinking...

Looking at Peggy who was winking at him, Shanying spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, after all, you are so beautiful.

It's hard to admit that I'm a superficial jerk, but I think it's normal when facing a beauty like you.

I really want to date you, but unfortunately I have other important things to do in the evening..."

Peggy was not angry after being rejected. Just as she was about to speak with a smile, the curly-haired bald man who had been standing by the piano and talking loudly came over, put his arm around her shoulders, and said with a smile, "Hey, Peggy, if you need someone to accompany you, I can cancel the date later..."

The curly-haired bald man looked at Shanying with a strange expression and said, "Mr. Yue is right. He will be very busy in the near future..."

Seeing the slight flash of disgust in Peggy's eyes, Shanying frowned and looked at Li Chengji...

Li Chengji showed a formal smile on her face and said, "Let me introduce you to this gentleman, Joseph Ravenston, a producer and also a middleman..."

When Shanying heard the name, he grinned, straightened his back, and reached out his hand to Joseph Ravenston...

The moment he grasped Joseph Ravenston's right hand, Shanying began to slowly tighten his grip...

Seeing the painful look on the face of the curly-haired Jewish bald man, Shanying smiled and said, "I didn't know I was worth 2000 million US dollars. I heard that you are one of the top executives of the Ladder of Light..."

Shanying turned to Li Chengji and asked curiously, "A producer can also work part-time as a senior executive of a killer organization?

Then this guy must not be doing a good job as a producer!
Oh, this guy has his own assassin organization, and he is also responsible for issuing bounties. If their business overlaps, will he pocket some of the profits? "

Li Chengji chuckled and nodded, saying, "To be precise, Mr. Ravenston is the business director of the California branch of Bright Ladder.

They, including the substitute killer organization, are all competitors of the international agency's killer business.

You may not know much about the Stairs of Light and the Substitutes, they are very professional high-level assassin organizations. As for whether Mr. Ravenston will pocket the money, I don't know.

Theoretically, he shouldn't dare to do that, after all, a killer can't refuse to pay, but it is certain that he will hand over the business to Bright Ladder in advance.

Although this is unfair to other killers in the market, this is life, there is no absolute fairness. "

Shanying knew that the Stairway of Light and the Substitute would hunt down VIPs of international brokerage companies because those VIPs were a business gap in international brokerage companies.

Generally, people who buy this type of insurance have some dangerous enemies, and by targeting them, you can find clear needs and make money at the same time.

Li Chengji definitely didn't like this Joseph Ravenston. Pointing out his identity as a competitor was telling Shanying that he could do whatever he wanted...

Shanying certainly couldn't kill this guy here. He looked at the arrogant bald guy's fat face that was distorted with pain, and said with a smile: "I have seen a killer in a suit. His clothing taste, car, and gun are all good.

It’s a pity that our meeting was not a pleasant one…”

As he spoke, Shanying let go of his hand and looked at Joseph Ravenston, who was gritting his teeth and trying not to scream. He stretched out his hand and made a pistol gesture, pointed at Ravenston, and said, "I'm alive and well, which means someone is going to die.

Who do you think it will be? "

Joseph Ravenston looked at Shanying fiercely and said, "I don't have a 2000 million bounty on me, so I guess it's definitely not me!"

Shanying looked at this brainless villain who looked like he came out of a third-rate movie, and knew that this guy must be deliberately provoking...

So he said contemptuously: "I live in a beachfront apartment in Santa Monica. Is it difficult for you to find me?"

As Shanying looked at Joseph Ravenston's expression, he suddenly realized, "Oh, there are FBI and Los Angeles police around, you dare not...

From this perspective, the Stairway of Light is really ordinary!
Maybe I was wrong that day. The killer in the suit should not be from the Stairway of Light. Otherwise, how could an elite killer who drives a Mercedes and lives in a mansion cooperate with a pig-head like you?

It's disrespectful to the elite to let a stupid pig like you take even a penny!"

Shanying's words caused a burst of laughter from the people around him...

There was no one in the room who was easy to deal with, and Joseph Ravenston seemed to have no deterrent effect on them.

Joseph Ravenston looked very angry, but his eyes were calm. He glanced at Li Chengji and said, "Ms. Li, is he your guest?"

Li Chengji nodded modestly and said, "Shanying is my partner and also a super VIP of the international agency.

We all know what he has done, so I have confidence in him no matter what challenges he faces!"

The "partner" and "super VIP" revealed by Li Chengji caused a commotion around. Joseph Ravenston's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Shanying with a provocative look and said, "No wonder you are so calm!

Unfortunately, the VIP status of an international agency is not everything. $2000 million will make many of the so-called elites in your eyes do whatever it takes!"

Shanying glanced at his watch and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait. Is two hours enough?

We will set off from here in two hours. If you can live to see tomorrow's sunrise, I will be the loser.

2000 million is indeed a lot, and there are many people who want it, but I am sure that not many people can take it!"

Joseph Ravenston didn't expect that Shanying didn't play by the rules at all and actually pulled himself, the middleman, to the table...

However, this guy had just informed the people at the Stairway of Light of the appearance of the Mountain Eagle.

His provocations against Shanying were all intentional, with the purpose of intimidating and angering Shanying, and by the way, finding a way to ruin Li Chengji's party.

Facing Shanying's provocation, Joseph Ravenston looked at Li Chengji without flinching and said, "Is the International Agency going to start a war in Los Angeles?"

Li Chengji looked around at the men and women around her, she smiled and shook her head and said: "International intermediary company is just an intermediary platform, we certainly can't go to war with others for no reason.

But as a partner of Shanying, I must support him!"

When Joseph Ravenston grinned and wanted to speak, Shanying waved his hand and said, "We are all people of status here, so let's not bicker...

I'll give you a chance. I don't care how many people you find. It'll take two hours. I'll let you run for five minutes..."

As he spoke, Shanying looked at Joseph Ravenston, who had a sinister look on his face. He smiled and said, "You seem to love money, so I'll give you a chance to make a lot of money...

I bet you 5000 million US dollars. We set up a joint account with an international intermediary company and the winner takes all!

Of course, if you don’t have enough money, you can tell me and I can lower the stakes to match you.”

Joseph Ravenston looked at the mountain eagle and said in a deep voice: "Why would I bet with a dead man?"

Shanying sighed and said sarcastically, "That means you don't have enough money. You can just say it directly. After all, not everyone can take out 5000 million in cash.

Then tell me, how much money do you have in your entire fortune? You won’t be able to use it after you die anyway…”
