Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 570: We can only move forward

It was almost three in the morning when the cocktail party ended...

Shanying simply did not go back. He took Dalia and the others to stay in Li Chengji's luxurious villa for one night.

The next day, Shanying slept until about ten o'clock, which was a rare occurrence. After he opened his eyes, got up and washed up, he saw a brand new navy blue suit hanging in the most conspicuous place in the cloakroom.

Shanying knew that this was Li Chengji's work. She seemed to particularly enjoy the feeling of taking care of people, and Shanying, the person being taken care of, did not reject it very much.

The color, fabric, style and cut of a suit are very particular. A navy blue suit with a white shirt can easily make you look like a salesman.

However, Shanying obviously does not have this problem. The suit is like armor to him, and the warrior can always keep the armor in the most comfortable state.

After changing his clothes, Shanying felt that the pocket of his suit jacket was a little heavy. He reached in and found a Rolex watch.

Fully feeling Li Chengji's attentiveness, Shanying put the watch on his wrist, pushed the door and went downstairs to say hello to Li Chengji.

What Shanying didn't expect was that Li Chengji was not there. Instead, Daria was like the owner of the house. She sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking coffee while supervising the work of the celebration company, asking them to rearrange the venue for the cocktail party and the new main party venue outside.

Hearing the noise on the stairs, Daria looked back and then excitedly came to the front of the Eagle.

Looking at the boss wearing a navy blue suit, looking neat and tidy like an elite white-collar worker on Wall Street, Daria quickly took out a red silk scarf, folded it a few times, and inserted it into the top pocket of the suit, adding a touch of bright color to Shanying's body.

Seeing that the boss did not object to her approach, Dalia took a few steps back, tilted her neck to look at him, and said with a smile: "Boss, you look so handsome today!
But the shoulders of this suit are a bit narrow, and your neck will look too strong if you wear a tie with it, so we should go back to the apartment, where the suits will fit better."

Shanying was a man who listened to advice. He took off his tie and threw it to Dalia, then unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, walked to the beverage area and got himself a glass of orange juice. While drinking, he looked at the busy crowd around him and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"

Shanying took the sandwich from a girl in a waitress uniform and subconsciously touched his pocket, finding that he had no money. He held up the sandwich and smiled at the girl, saying, "Thank you!"

Dahlia smiled and sent the girl away, then looked at her boss who was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Ms. Li went to Irvine, where representatives of the US and Russian intelligence agencies were negotiating, and she attended as a middleman...

These people are rearranging the venue, and there will be gatherings here every night for the next half month.

I just inquired, and the cost of the party here every day is about 6 US dollars, which does not include the cost of security and the cost of the men and women used to create the atmosphere. "

Shanying took a bite of the sandwich, gave the waitress who had been paying attention to him a thumbs up, then looked at Dalia, who had a sour expression, and said with a smile: "They're spending their own money to hold the party, why are you looking like that?"

Dalia was silent for a moment, then said, "Boss, you should be the one going to Irvine. You are the middleman!"

The mountain eagle smiled suddenly...

This is indeed quite funny. He, the man who created the current situation, is not qualified to participate in the negotiations between the United States and Russia because of his small power and low status.

Lee Sung-hee, who joined later, relied on her identity as the president of an international intermediary company and intervened in this game between giants as a middleman guarantor in the final stage.

Of course, she couldn't influence the thoughts and actions of both parties. The only thing she could do was to act as a mascot of the platform. When the matter was finally finalized, she would sign a security agreement concerning Snowden to provide Snowden with an additional insurance.

It seems that this is a negotiation centered around Snowden's safety, but as time goes by and things change, Snowden's issue has become a very small part of the discussion.

Going to Irvine or not is just a false name, and this false name is useless to Shanying itself, but it is of great use to Li Chengji.

This was originally discussed between Shanying and Li Chengji...

He assisted Lee Sung-hee in taking the benefits that he could not get himself, and then Lee Sung-hee provided him with compensation in other places. At the same time, the two cooperated to develop business in Syria.

Seeing Dalia's indignant look, Shanying shook his head and said with a smile: "Why are you so excited if I'm not going?
I really don't have the patience to deal with those people in the intelligence department, and I might even offend them if I go!"

Dahlia frowned and said, "Mr. Mori is also a middleman. The party he represents should..."

Shanying waved his hand while eating and said, "The United States will have a general election in two years, and their foreign policy is shrinking. Mori and his people are responsible for the Snowden issue, and they all have money with Mr. Poincare, so of course they have to be polite to me.

But it's different in Russia. As Snowden's representative, if I get too close to Mori and others, it will cause a lot of problems.

There is no need to get involved in these things just for the sake of vanity."

As he spoke, Shanying looked around curiously and said, "Where are Tiffany and Lilith?"

Dahlia smiled and said, "They went to the hospital. Didn't you say last night that you would pay for the medical expenses of the injured mother and child? They went to the hospital at dawn today.

I originally wanted to take Lilith to buy some work clothes today, but I thought you couldn't be alone, so I stayed."

As Dalia looked at the busy crowd around her, she sighed and said, "I have seen some wealthy people behave like this, but I have never seen anyone outsource all matters to a celebration company like Ms. Li.

I met some people yesterday who used to be unattainable to me..."

Shanying ate the last piece of sandwich, poured himself a glass of orange juice, and said after sighing comfortably, "There is no such thing as 'unattainable' in this world. We just have different divisions of labor.

Of course, most of those people last night were considered Party A to the mercenaries, so you would feel that they were a bit out of your reach.

Actually they are all the same!
Sometimes I am annoyed by the stubbornness of the Arctic Foxes, but I have to admit that they are not only powerful, but also have a higher level of thinking than other mercenaries. They never think that they are working for others!
From this point, we can see that as long as you have enough ability and confidence, you will think that everyone you see is just an ordinary person. "

Shanying put down the cup and walked out while dodging the vacuum cleaner that was cleaning the carpet, saying, "Do we have a car?

I have to meet Silver Fox and Galahad, and pick up Anna this afternoon..."

Dahlia followed Shanying with her bag and said with a smile, “Ms. Li said that Gurkha doesn’t suit your status, so she bought a Maybach this morning, and the car was delivered not long ago.

Sir, are you really just partners? "

Shanying stood at the door of the villa, looking at a black Maybach parked in the driveway, and said with a smile: "Will driving this make me look more like a boss instead of a mercenary leader?"

Dalia smiled and opened the driver’s door, saying, “The boss should take the car instead of thinking about driving himself.

Boss, you should find yourself a strong driver and bodyguard, so that you don't have to do it yourself every time, and I, a poor assistant, don't have to do this job."

Shanying opened the car door and got into the car that still smelled of leather. He watched Dalia start the car a little unskillfully and said with a smile, "I'll consider your suggestion..."

Dahlia turned around and said, "I think the donkey and the sea lion are good...

They have already rushed to Los Angeles from Alaska. If they are equipped with appropriate outfits, they will become qualified drivers and bodyguards.

Donkey was once an elite member of the Air Force ground control group..."

Dahlia showed the tactical computer and said, "Boss, he is more familiar with this kind of thing!"

Shanying waved his hand and said: "Some things are not suitable for display to the outside world, I trust you more!

If you don't think you can handle it yourself, I can give Donkey a scaled-down tactical computer and you can decide when he can be used."

After hearing this, Dalia drove the car out of the villa with satisfaction...

Santa Monica Beach Apartments…

Sniper Roland pushed his partner Javier to the terrace of the apartment. After closing the door to block out the screams in the apartment, Roland looked at Javier with a strange expression and said, "My wife and children are in Los Angeles for the first time. It's normal for them to be a little excited."

Javier looked back at his Mexican mother, who was standing at the counter between the living room and the kitchen, staring at the large amount of food and drinks placed on it, while his cousin was running around the apartment in a pair of new shoes.

Javier rubbed his face in pain and said, “What are we doing?
The guy shot me once in the butt and once in the thigh, then kidnapped me from the hospital and brought me here.

In the end, we not only owe him a debt, but also say thank you to him? "

Javier looked at his cousin, who was holding a Switch and several game boxes and shouting excitedly at him through the soundproof door of the terrace. He sighed and said, "Didn't that guy say that he would pay for our family's travel expenses?

What does that count now?
My mother bought a set of kitchen utensils, ten rice cookers, and enough dresses and shoes for her to wear for the rest of her life.

Rafael bought every video game console on the market and a full set of Jordan shoes.

All these things combined have used up all the money I had saved in the past!

We now have to borrow money from that guy called Mountain Eagle to pay for the gas to go to Mexico...

Roland, we are finished!"

Roland watched his two daughters happily running around in the luxurious apartment. He smiled bitterly and said, "He promised to cover all the travel expenses, and he did it. He can't still pay for those souvenirs!

We should be thankful that both Kaufman and Colonel William are dead, and that the investigators have not yet found us, so we still have a chance to spend all our savings."

Roland looked at Javier and said with lifeless eyes: "Have you told your mother that we are going to run away to Mexico?
My daughter needs to go to a place where there are good schools and there aren’t drug dealers in the schools.”

Javier sighed and said, "Then you have to borrow more money from that Shanying...

Fuck, my mother's biggest wish in life is to come to Meilijiandingju to retire, but after struggling for more than ten years, I have to go back in disgrace.

What do you think we will do in the future? "

………………

"Fighting until the day when we are no longer able to do so is the fate of people like us!"

Right above Roland and the others, Silver Fox sat on a lounge chair on the terrace, looking at Galahad who was drinking tea beside him, and said, "We are all the same..."
