Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 555 Assassination
Theoretically speaking, Mountain Eagle and Joseph Ravenston have not reached the point where they must fight to the death!
Because the middleman should not be the target of attack.

But Joseph Ravenston is not only a middleman, he is also a salesman of the Ladder of Light. Moreover, Mountain Eagle has also been attacked by the Ladder of Light. The nature of this is different!

Shanying could tell from the attitudes of the people around him that they did not think highly of Joseph Ravenston.

Because a middleman who cannot stick to his own position will not be respected.

If Joseph Ravenston had come up to say hello when he saw the mountain eagle instead of calling the killer, everyone might have respected him, but he only showed selfishness and greed...

Shanying didn't know whether this guy was really stupid or just confident, but his determination to kill this guy and the 5000 million cash bet made people around him look at him with new eyes.

Everyone present here is a wealthy man who has some business dealings with international brokerage companies, but 5000% of them cannot withdraw the 90 million in cash that can circulate in the banking system.

Joseph Ravenston couldn't even produce it!

However, this guy was determined to kill Shanying and ruin Li Chengji's cocktail party.

If he covered his face and ran away after being humiliated at this time, he would not only be embarrassing himself, but also expose the reputation of the Stairway of Light to be trampled on.

The consequences for him would be too serious!

To survive in the underground world, you need strength, reputation, and face!
The loss of any of these three will result in the loss of real money!
Facing Shanying's ridicule, Joseph Ravenston gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "How do you prove that you have 5000 million..."

Just as Shanying was about to mock him, Li Chengji waved his hand and said, "Let me remind you that the person standing in front of you is a top-level member of an international intermediary company. He has an 8000 million dollar revenge insurance fund."

Li Chengji looked at Shanying, shook his head and said, "If you want to gamble, bet big, 8000 million!

With the international intermediary company as the guarantor, I will have someone make a bet agreement immediately, and the bet will be established as soon as the money arrives.

The loser reports to the cemetery, and the winner takes all the money.

You have no objection, right? "

Shanying was stunned for a moment. He had indeed subconsciously forgotten about the revenge fund, because the money was not his at all, it was just a name.

When Shanying heard Li Chengji put forward this number as a bet, he realized how cruel Li Chengji was. She was not only cruel to others, but also to herself.

The so-called 8000 million fund was guaranteed by Li Chengji and transferred to Shanying's name. Once Shanying lost, she would have to pay the money.

This is a truly strong woman, without any fear, worry or entanglement. I have determined that you, Shanying, am my partner, so I will go all in and accompany you in the adventure.

If I lose, it's because I didn't know the people well. If I win, not only will our relationship become closer, but it will also severely damage the image of our competitor, Bright Ladder.

Seeing Joseph Ravenston's gloomy face, Shanying laughed and said, "Of course I have no objection. Using my revenge fund as a bet can also make Mr. Ravenston less worried. After all, he doesn't have to worry about being retaliated against, right?"

As Shanying said this, he looked at Joseph, whose forehead was slightly sweaty. He smiled and said, "Sir, if you really can't take it out, don't force yourself. I understand. After all, it's not easy to make money in this world."

Li Chengji waved her hand with a serious face and said, "No, you underestimate Mr. Ravenston and the Bright Ladder. As an old assassin organization that has been active for nearly 70 years, 8000 million is not a particularly large number for them.

Mr. Ravenston will surely be able to convince the Shining Ladder. After all, this concerns their honor and reputation."

When Li Chengji escalated the matter to an organizational confrontation, Joseph could no longer compromise. He glared at Shanying and gritted his teeth and said, "You will regret your decision now..."

The Eagle's ears moved slightly, then he looked at Joseph and said with a smile: "I suddenly feel very strange, why do you think you can stand in front of me and challenge me like this, in theory, no one should be so stupid.

Because there's a killer standing behind me with a steak knife up his sleeve?"

As soon as Shanying finished speaking, a waiter standing behind him like a statue suddenly threw the tray in his hand at Peggy, causing the beautiful girl to scream...

Then, before anyone could react, the handsome waiter rushed towards Lee Sung-hee, waving the knife in his hand.

Mountain Eagle almost instinctively moved sideways half a step and stood in front of the killer!

At a distance of about three meters, the waiter sprinted two steps and entered the attack range, and stabbed the mountain eagle's chest from bottom to top with the knife held straight in his hand.

Shanying swung his arm sideways and hit the outside of the waiter's right hand holding the knife, but the other party was obviously good at using a knife. The moment the first strike missed, his elbow retracted and his left fist hit Shanying's chin...

As long as Shanying's attention was diverted, he could attack again with the knife in his right hand.

Shanying did not retreat, because Li Chengji was next to him, and if he retreated, it would give the killer more space.

The killer's target was Li Chengji, and the stupidity shown by Joseph Ravenston was intentional. He had been confusing everyone's attention to cover up the killer. But Shanying had a hunch that the killer had no direct relationship with Joseph Ravenston.

Raising his left hand to block the killer's fist, Shanying cut his left hand into the middle and pushed it outward, blocking the opponent's knife again. At the same time, he took a step forward to the left with his right foot and stuck to the outside of the killer's leg. Then he bent his body downward to accumulate strength, and with his retracted right hand, he grabbed the opponent's wrist holding the knife...

At the moment of temporarily ending the opponent's knife threat, Shanying straightened his waist and twisted his hips, and using the force of his body's counterclockwise rotation, he used the tip of his left elbow to hit the killer's face heavily.

There was a loud bang, followed by a bone-crackling sound...

The somewhat handsome white waiter's upper jaw and nose seemed to be hit by a battering ram, visibly caved in, and then his head suddenly tilted back, ejecting five or six teeth and a handful of nosebleed.

Feeling that the killer's hand holding the knife was still strong, Shanying loosened his right hand and turned to face the killer who was leaning back, then kicked the guy between his legs with a violent crotch kick...

The severely wounded killer jumped up, and when his feet touched the ground, he clamped his legs together, then knelt on the ground with his hands covering his shredded crotch...

The tremendous pain made this guy seem to have forgotten to breathe. His eyes were wide open, and his bloody mouth and nose were wide open, but there was no sign of either inhaling or exhaling.

"Sigh~"

The people at the scene gasped and a few men even stepped back subconsciously, clamping their legs together.

Just when Shanying wanted to take advantage of the situation and knock Joseph Ravenston down, this guy changed his villain look and clapped his hands and said, "Well done, Shanying, you have disrupted an assassination attempt on Ms. Li Chengji, the Asian acting president of an international agency.

We should all applaud you for not letting Ms. Lee Seong-hee's rival succeed."

Shanying's clenched fist was stopped by Li Chengji. She glanced at the bodyguard leader Jin Dacheng who rushed in, and signaled him coldly to drag the fallen killer out. Then she looked at Joseph Ravenston who suddenly changed, nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder..."

As she spoke, Li Chengji looked at the men who had been chatting with Joseph Ravenston near the piano. With a stern smile on her face, she said to a young man with half-long golden curly hair and retro clothes, "Mr. David Dupont, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't let you see the joke!"

The young Dupont did not hide it. He walked up to Joseph Ravenston, put his arm around the bald fat man's shoulders, and said with a smile: "As the president of the Americas region of an international intermediary company, I testify for Mr. Ravenston that the killer is not from the Bright Ladder.

This is America, it's my jurisdiction. Don't worry, I will give you an answer about this killer within three days!
Ms. Li, this is how it is sometimes in our line of work, danger is everywhere!

A lady is not suitable for this job, because there is not always a knight standing by her side..."

Dupont stretched out his hand to Peggy, and said with a smile: "Hey, Peggy, would you like to be my female companion?

Ms. Li may be able to take the position of rotating chairman of an international agency, but do you really think she can bring you more business?

Honey, you got the wrong guy..."

David DuPont's condescending tone sounded extremely harsh, as if Peggy was a bitch who could be summoned at will and dismissed at will.

Shanying thought that Peggy, who looked like a celebrity, would take the initiative to move closer to him. To his surprise, Peggy did not respond directly to David Dupont, but instead took his arm...

"Sorry, Mr. Dupont, your invitation is a little late. I already have an appointment!"

David Dupont looked at the mountain eagle with a strange expression. He suddenly laughed and said, "OK, then I wish you a pleasant night..."

David Dupont turned his head to look at Joseph Ravenston, grinned and said, “Joseph, I have always admired it, but it’s a pity that Bright Ladder has always been a competitor of international intermediary companies.

I will open a prize pool, and I will offer 10 to bet on Mountain Eagle to win!
The winner between Joseph and Mountain Eagle can take all the bounties in the prize pool, and others can also actively participate, just as a way to cheer for our warriors..."

As soon as David Dupont finished speaking, a middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples raised his hand and said, "10, I bet on Joseph to win!"

As the middle-aged man saw that he had attracted everyone's attention, he smiled apologetically at David Dupont and said, "David, although we are friends, I have a different opinion from you this time.

You will understand me, right?"

David Dupont listened and smiled and said, "Of course, America is different from those dictatorial countries. This is a free country, and everyone can choose according to their own ideas."

David Dupont looked at Joseph Ravenston, who looked unhappy, and said with a smile: "Joseph, if you have any questions about money, you can call your uncle.

Bright Stairs is still worth some money. If he is willing to mortgage his shares of Bright Stairs to me, I can immediately help you raise 8000 million US dollars as a bet.

Of course, if you don't want to, I can also persuade this Shanying to lower the price.

But in this case you have to apologize to him first, because you were indeed rude just now."
