Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 725: Searching for the Devil
"demon?"

In a café in downtown San Salvador…

The handsome Matias was wearing a cool linen casual suit, holding a cup of coffee, with a perfunctory smile on his face, and from time to time he dealt with the San Salvador police chief who was talking eloquently in front of him.

Seeing the phone on the table light up, Matthias rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, then made a wait gesture to the police chief in front of him, clicked on the email, read it carefully, and then frowned deeply.

After thinking for a few minutes, Matthias showed a strange expression on his face. He looked at the police chief in front of him and said, "Sir, where do you think I can find the devil?"

The police chief of San Salvador was a middle-aged man with gray hair. When he heard Matthias' question, he thought he was joking. So he pretended to think about it, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said, "If you want to find the devil, it's best to go to the church..."

After hearing this, Matthias gave a thumbs up and said, "You are very wise..."

Matias put a briefcase on the table and pushed it in front of the police chief, then said with a smile: "This is the security fee paid by our company. I need police officers to escort our survey team to conduct geothermal exploration in El Salvador for half a year.

At the same time, I need police officers to be on duty 24 hours a day at the office I rent...

Sir, I'm fed up with those gangsters. I need a quiet environment to work and rest!
Oh, I almost forgot, I need a few Salvadoran passports, preferably delivered to my office tomorrow..."

The middle-aged police chief unzipped his briefcase and took a look inside. A dozen stacks of hundred-dollar bills suddenly appeared before his eyes...

He reached into his briefcase and touched the bills, then smiled and said, "No problem, someone will deliver what you want soon.

Next week I will organize a special security team to assist you in the survey."

The police chief looked at Mathias who was about to leave. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, our president has a question..."

Matthias leaned over and spread his hands, saying, "Please go ahead..."

The police chief glanced at the guests around him, lowered his voice and whispered, "Our President wants to ask you, is what you said about the power plant true?"

Mathias looked at the inquiry in the police chief's eyes and said with a smile, "It looks like someone has contacted your president...

I can't give you an accurate answer to the question he wants to ask. It all depends on whether the survey team can achieve the desired results, and also on your determination.

The most important thing is to wait for our boss to make time..."

Mathias held up the nonexistent brim of his hat, nodded to the police chief, and said, "I'm sure what will happen to the power plant, but my promise to you will remain valid.

Goodbye, Mr. Director!"

The police chief looked at Matthias's back as he left. He asked curiously, "Where are you going? Do you need me to arrange for someone to escort you there?"

Matthias shook the phone in his hand without looking back and said, "I'm going to find the devil...

There's this bored rich guy who thinks he can save the world, and I'm sick of him, but it seems like I can't say no to him!"

As Matthias said this, he placed two $20 bills on the tray in the waitress's hand, and then he greeted her with a gentleman's smile and left the cafe...

Walking on the sunny streets and wandering among the French buildings, Matthias made a phone call with a distorted expression...

"I'm not your fucking employee, can you please stop pushing all the shit onto me?"

Shanying on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "Mattias, I paid..."

Mathias smiled at the two ladies passing by, then lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "You paid, but that doesn't include helping you find some damn demon!"

Shanying smacked his lips and smiled, "I can pay more!"

Matthias took a deep breath and said, "I don't..."

"100 million dollars..."

"I……"

"200 million dollars..."

"What the hell..."

"500 million dollars..."

"Deal, how many people do you want?"

Shanying on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then said, "It doesn't matter how many people there are. I need some crazy guys who can show up at the right place at the right time and send those man-eating bastards to hell in the most brutal way."

Matthias thought for nearly two minutes and said in a strange tone: "I remember that you are a guy with a strong sense of justice. Have you ever thought that the demon you are looking for may be more terrifying than the guys you want to kill?
Real demons have no humanity, no sense of right and wrong, no sense of justice or evil, they just want to satisfy their own inner desires..."

After Shanying was silent for a long time, he said: "I don't need to control them, I just need them to use their abilities according to the goals I give them.

If 'killing' is the desire of those monsters, then we satisfy them with the right goals.

Matias, you are not the only one who received my message. You called me so quickly, is it because you have the right person there? Matias looked up and let the sun shine on his face, feeling the warmth of Central America...

“Yeah, I know a few guys like that, and if you hadn’t sent me the text message, I would have found the time to kill them.

But since you need it, I think why not give it a try..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Who is the other party?"

Matthias walked to the door of a bakery. He looked at the young man standing at the counter and said to the phone, "You don't have to think about who they are. What you should think about now is what to do when these demons you released become uncontrollable?"

After saying that, Mathias hung up the phone, pushed the door and walked into the bakery...

On a sunny afternoon, a handsome man dressed in a well-dressed manner and a handsome waiter in a waiter uniform with a warm smile on his face, their eyes met and a strange atmosphere was created, which for a moment stunned the other two female waiters in the bakery...

Matthias picked a few baguettes and two pieces of toast. When he went to the cashier to pay, he smiled and said to the handsome waiter who always had a smile on his face, "Are you free? I'll buy you a cup of coffee!"

The handsome waiter was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Mathias for a few seconds. He nodded with a playful look in his eyes and said, "I still have 45 minutes before I get off work. You can leave your address and phone number, and I will contact you then."

After Matthias took out a few bills to pay the bill, he smiled and said, “No, I’ll wait for you here!

I want to talk to you about you and your crazy sister..."

When the handsome waiter heard Mathias mention his sister, the smile on his face disappeared instantly...

"who are you?"

Matthias shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "You are a nosy person. I didn't want to chat with you at first. I just wanted to shoot you in the head when you were off work, but now I have changed my mind...

You should be thankful!
Last week, a San Salvador city councilman died in his kitchen, and someone cooked his organs into a French feast..."

Matthias looked at the handsome young man with an expressionless face and said indifferently, "I don't care whether that guy lives or dies. What I care about is that he just took $5 from me...

In the end, he died without doing anything for me, and the $50,000 was gone!

According to the situation at the scene, the $50,000 was taken away by two perverts who like to cook..."

The handsome young man smiled and shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't know what you are talking about..."

As he said this, he gave Matthias the change, extended his hand to send him away, and said with a smile: "Welcome to visit next time!"

Mathias looked into the handsome young man's eyes and found that he looked at him calmly...

A few minutes later, Matthias, with a big bag of bread in his arms, walked to the door and sat under the parasol, while the female waiter looked silly and infatuated, and ordered a cup of coffee...

Under the ambiguous gaze of the female waiter, the handsome young man made a cup of hand-ground coffee with an expressionless face and handed it to Mathias outside the door...

Looking at this gentlemanly and handsome man, the handsome young man thought for a moment and said, "OK, if you want to talk to me, then you book a place and I will be there on time."

Matthias took a sip of black coffee, frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "The coffee is a little over-roasted, but adding a little fennel is a smart move."

Matthias looked at the handsome young man who remained calm. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and took a pen from the handsome young man's uniform apron, then wrote an address on a napkin...

After placing the napkin on the table, Matthias looked at the handsome young man and said in a gentle tone: "Some people are born perverted, but they just need something to push them to find their own nature.

Julian, your sister's experience is very sympathetic, and I have no objection to your revenge.

Originally I just wanted to kill you and get my money back, but someone just called me...

He needed some crazy people to help him do things that normal people wouldn't do, so I thought of you immediately.

Costa Rican medical student, Master of Chemistry, marathon champion, and, well, probably a pretty good chef.

This is your first crime. Although you cleaned the scene very well, you still left a lot of clues.

Of course, those clues require true professionals to spot...

These are not important. What is important is that you should feel something during the action, and you should realize that you may not be able to stop...

This is why I wanted to kill you in the first place. I know what people like you will become in the future!"

The handsome young man Julian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mathias, then shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Matthias waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I'll be waiting for you and your sister in my kitchen at 6pm...

Bring my money, and then you can listen to my advice seriously, or try to see if you can put me on the table!

I’m really looking forward to both scenarios!”
