Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 700 Being needed

Shanying believed what the elk said, because this old guy had been a top mercenary all his life, and the things he had seen and the people he knew were probably far beyond Shanying's imagination...

Moreover, assassinating a businessman is not particularly difficult as long as you are willing to use your brain and even pay the price.

However, Shanying knows what he wants, and the problems he faces cannot be solved by the death of one or two so-called big shots.

He needs to escalate the situation, let things ferment to a certain extent, and then solve the problem once and for all.

Build up deterrence through fighting, then gain the upper hand of reason, and then retaliate and gain fame through it...

He wants to raise his status to the same level as those people, so that he can reduce 80% of the trouble when doing business in the future.

The mountain eagle smacked his lips and thought for a while, without making any further excuses, he smiled at the elk and said, "It is indeed my problem. I should have consulted your opinions when I encountered problems.

It’s definitely too late this time. Let me deal with this problem, spend the winter happily in Alaska with my family, and then we can go together to give some surprises to those bastards who are targeting me.

I will definitely bring you along when the time comes...

After all, I don’t really have much experience in this area!”

The Mountain Eagle spoke sincerely, and the elderly Elk suddenly felt better. He laughed, patted his half-bald head, grabbed Ava who had been hitting his knees, picked up the little girl and said with a smile: "Your father is a jerk...

But it doesn’t matter, Master Elk will protect you…”

The elk walked over to the children and said loudly, "Get out of the way. Let me teach you how to hold a knife. If you keep going like this, the birds will starve to death."

Shanying watched the group of children flee in all directions because of the alcohol smell of the elk. He smiled and shook his head, and began to clean up the things in the kitchen...

He would stew a pot of rich beef soup and then prepare several high-calorie dishes...

Wash and blanch more than ten kilograms of beef bones, tendons and ribs, then find a large stainless steel barrel, fill half of it with water, sprinkle in the stewing ingredients, move it to the terrace outside, and start stewing in a wood-fired stove.

When the mountain eagle was making a fire, Luna ran out holding a well-fed little snowy owl. She squatted beside the mountain eagle, laughing and showing the sleepy little white ball in her hand, and said happily: "Dad, look at it..."

Shanying put firewood in the wood stove, then put a few pieces of solid alcohol in it, and after lighting it with an igniter, he looked at the slowly burning flames, turned his head with satisfaction and looked at Luna and the little dumpling in her hand, and said with a smile: "Do you like it?"

Luna held the little ball against her cheek and rubbed it gently, then nodded and said, "It's cute, I like it very much."

Sitting on a folding fishing stool, Shanying reached out and touched the little snowy owl's round head, and said, "If you really like it, then take good care of it.

When it grows up, let it go and find its own place..."

Luna didn't understand what the Eagle said. She lay on Eagle's thigh and said stealthily, "Dad, Faith just said that we should take all these snowy owls home, but Mom said that they are protected animals so we can't take them back...

Dad, if we can't take the snowy owl back, can we stay here forever?

I like it here..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then looking at Luna who was looking forward to it, he smiled and shook his head and said, "No, you can come here to live for a few months every year, but you can't stay here for a long time.

You have to go to school, learn to get along with others, and understand the outside world...

That way you’ll know what you want most!”

The slightly chubby Luna twisted her body and squeezed into the arms of the mountain eagle, lying on his thighs as a cradle, and then put the little snow owl on her chest, looking at the mountain eagle with her big eyes, and said: "Dad, I just want to be with you...

I want to go fishing, hunting, herding cattle, picking berries with you..."

Shanying put his arm under Luna's head to make her lie a little more comfortable, and then asked curiously: "What's wrong, isn't Dongda good?"

Luna said with a somewhat tangled expression: "I like my mother and Faith, but I don't like the kindergarten there..."

As she spoke, Luna put on a horrified expression and imitated a child's cry...

"Wow...wow..."

"They were horrible, they cried all the time, sometimes even when Faith and I didn't touch them, they would still cry...

Every time my mother was called to school, her face would turn scary...

And those teachers are terrible too, they speak English worse than Faith and I, but they ask us to write a lot of words every day..."

Shanying laughed dumbly. He knew it would be difficult for Xiaowan to take care of so many children, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult...

Luna was a wild child, and Yue Yi had suffered severe psychological trauma. It seemed that everything was fine with them now, but in fact, when they were placed in a relatively closed environment, they might not behave so 'normally'.

Whatever Xiao Wan chooses is her decision, Shanying is not involved so he will not interfere. Facing Luna's nagging complaints, Shanying smiled and said: "Isn't kindergarten fun?

There are kids around your age there, there can’t be one you like.”

Luna wrinkled her nose and said in a tangled way, "No, I only like Faith, Zach, Angel, Ava... I don't want to go to kindergarten, the children there are stupid and will cry if you touch them!

I just want to stay in Alaska, I think fishing and hunting are the most interesting..."

Shanying felt a little headache when he looked at Luna, who had a hunter in her heart. He shook his head and said with a smile: "How can you be good enough just by hunting and fishing?

You must at least learn to count and write, or you will become a fool."

Luna twisted her body, her face wrinkled, she sighed like a little adult, and said, "Dad, can't you teach me?"

Shanying finally realized that after all this trouble, this girl still wanted to rely on him...

Being depended on and needed are psychological needs that arise naturally after reaching a certain stage in life.

Mountain Eagle really enjoys this feeling!

Unfortunately, his condition doesn't allow it, and he really doesn't have that much time...

It is meaningless to tell a little kid about your difficulties and expect her to understand. Shanying smiled and picked up the little snowy owl that was dozing on Luna's chest, put it on his shoulder, then helped Luna up and said with a smile: "Then I will teach you how to cook...

The most important thing about cooking is making a fire!"

Shanying pulled a chair over and asked Luna to sit next to the wood stove. He smiled and said, "You are now the fire watcher. Whether we can have delicious beef soup tonight depends on you."

While Shanying was talking, his son Yue Yi pushed open the door and ran onto the terrace. Seeing the little snowy owl squatting on his father's shoulder, he breathed a sigh of relief, ran over and picked up the little snowy owl, saying, "Mother Snowy Owl is going to sleep, I'll take it over to sleep with her."

Yue Yi ran into the house, then rushed out again, looked up at his father and said, "Dad, how about we have barbecue tonight?"

Yue Yi excitedly stepped on the snow on the terrace, pulled his father's arm, and said, "Dad, we can roast a lamb. We can definitely finish it with so many people..."

Shanying listened, smiled and nodded, and said, "How is your English now?"

Yue nodded and said, "No problem, I can understand what Luna and the others say, and they can understand what I say, too."

Shanying was impressed by how quickly children learn languages in their childhood. He pointed to Old Ruby's wooden house not far away and said, "Then go find Little Ruby and ask him to prepare four sheep. We will have a roasted sheep party tonight.

We will have Luna's beef soup and your roast lamb, and we will all have a great time!"

Yue Yi nodded his head vigorously, then jumped off the terrace and ran towards the wooden house of old Ruby and his son...

Shanying thought about the beef piled up in the kitchen. He pulled Luna, who was about to fill the wood stove, and said, "Just come and check every 20 minutes. Come with me, Dad will teach you how to prepare barbecue. I promise it will be very satisfying..."

…………

Xiao Wan was wearing a paper boat hat and holding a rag in her hand, standing by the bedroom window. She watched her son run towards the wooden house not far away like a happy pony. She smiled and wiped the corners of her eyes, then raised her hand to clean the last bit of stain on the glass...

Griffin and Cardinal walked into the room carrying a mattress...

Putting the mattress on the original log bed, looking at the still very empty large bedroom, Redbird sat on the elastic mattress to feel it, then said to Xiaowan: "Mrs. Li, although I don't think it's the right choice to come to Alaska in this season, I can see that the boss loves you very much.

He prepared a lot of things for you, why don't you use them?"

After hearing this, Xiao Wan looked back at the charming Hong Que and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't want it, but I want to decorate this room that belongs only to us with him.

As long as I have a bed, I won’t worry about the rest…”

Xiao Wan looked at Hong Que who had a strange expression on his face and said with a smile: "You can think of this as a kind of fun...

I don’t want to talk only about work, nor do I want to talk only about feelings.

Sometimes the placement of a vase or the color of a bathroom mat can become a topic of conversation, and a light-hearted one at that.”

Upon hearing this, Redbird shook his head and said, "According to my experience, no man has the patience to deal with these things, and no one likes women's nagging..."

Xiao Wan smiled and shook her head, saying, "That's because some women's chatter is seeking attention, seeking compliments, and seizing the initiative."

When Redbird heard this, he covered his face with his hands and said helplessly: "I think you are talking about me...

Could you please stop showing off your successful marriage in front of me?
Now I feel like a loser, fuck, why can't I meet a man like my boss?
He's good-looking, strong, and most importantly, very rich..."

Xiao Wan rolled her eyes and said, "If you met a man like this, you might pierce him with an ice pick in the middle of the night..."

Just as the two were talking, Yue Yi's voice came from downstairs: "Mom, mom, where are my other shoes? Help me find them, I want to catch sheep..."

Xiao Wan walked to the windowsill and took a look, then rolled her eyes and said to Redbird, "I think if your child is living well now, you don't have to take custody of him.

Believe me, a boy of a few years old is really difficult to deal with..."
