Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 299 Chapter 296

At noon on September 9, Zhuang Xuteng received a call from the introducer: the person in charge of the casino group in Peicheng was willing to give him 7 minutes to explain the situation.

Scheduling this conversation was not easy - these are Lucy's words.The casino group's focus is all on the stolen train, and they don't care about the local affairs of Peicheng.Although Lucy would definitely be able to bring Zhuang Xuteng directly to the door if she came forward directly, it would appear that the whole matter was an action arranged by a middleman.

If you want to lure the Viper into the pit, then Lucy can't move lightly, and the matter must be disguised as a mercenary revenge.Lucy can only operate in secret, find more relationships through relationships, and find this introducer called "Pukate" layer by layer, and let him build a communication bridge between Zhuang Xuteng and the casino group.At this point, Pukat had no idea that it was Lucy who was really looking for him, and he really thought that the person who paid was Zhuang Xuteng.

Pukat is a slightly fat middle-aged man with a bald head, and the oily head always needs to be wiped with a handkerchief.He wore a silk blouse in this hot autumn, and used a folding fan to cool himself down from time to time. At this time, those silk clothes would spread ripples on his body.

"Gulu Gulu..." Pukat sucked hard on the iced drink in the cup, and the strong air flow caused the remaining ice cubes to roll and collide.He shook the cup, and then complained to Zhuang Xuteng: "Why isn't it cool in this damn weather? It's impossible to stay outside."

"There are no shadows around, otherwise you can go and hide." Zhuang Xuteng stood under the scorching sun with his body straight, as if ignoring the surrounding temperature.He used dormant martial arts to control the state of his body, transferring the risk of heatstroke to the mice he carried with him. "Persist on it, who wants to arrange it in this square? It's wide enough here, and the buildings are far away. There is no shadow at this time."

"Well, it would be great if they could take some time to meet. Those people are very busy after all." Pukat quickly fanned his fan, like a bee flapping its wings, and the airflow formed even blew up his few hairs. "Nike, don't cause trouble. There is my guarantee here. I can tell them that you are a mercenary who is willing to reason and have a reputation."

"Didn't you tell them that I am capable?" Zhuang Xuteng put on an unfathomable expression of "God", and his faint smile exuded a faint coercion formed from self-confidence. "In front of the casino group, only ability can keep you safe."

"Can I not say it? You are a mercenary with a nickname, and the nickname comes from the middleman war. Dexter was chased and killed by you, right?"

"Don't ask me." Zhuang Xuteng still smiled slightly.

"Understood, you will definitely not admit it, but the mercenary industry has your story." Pukat patted his belly with a folding fan and said, "This is the first time we do something, so I have to say something first: don't use me to approach The people from the casino group then committed murder. I vouched for the safety and sincerity of the meeting, which is the foundation of my career."

"I'm not here to kill people, I just want to talk to them and get a pass." Zhuang Xuteng asked: "I don't think you can fight. If there is a conflict, you probably won't survive?"

"I definitely won't fight. Let alone fight, look at this square, no matter which direction, even if I want to hide in any building, I don't have the energy to run there." Pukat laughed twice and said: "Only if I'm weak, I won't pose a threat; only if I'm weak, I will die at the first touch. I am a hostage. If either of you breaks the promise, I will die, and then the powerful characters of my family will die endlessly." Avenge me."

Zhuang Xuteng stroked his chin and asked, "If they are so powerful, why haven't I heard of them? And if they go directly to work as mercenaries, especially assassin mercenaries, the income should be higher?"

"Assassin, there are always new people coming out, new people replacing old people, it is difficult to always stand at the top of the industry level. And in this world, there are always conflicts that need to be settled, and there are always deals that need to be negotiated. This is a business that will not be eliminated. "Pukac said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, we have been running this business for generations, and we are very experienced in this industry."

"But there are always people who need to be killed..." Zhuang Xuteng cast his gaze into the distance, where two black cars were approaching quickly. "It seems that the person who invited us is here."

Pukat squinted his eyes to look at the car, and looked down at his watch. "They're early. Well, I have a feeling this isn't the last meeting place."

"Yes, they may take us to the real meeting place, or they may get out of the car and shoot us. There is no bunker around here, maybe I will use you as a shield." Zhuang Xuteng said half-jokingly: "It's not bad for you: if you're lucky, I can drag you to a place with a building, which is much better than if you die halfway or get killed here."

Pukat rolled his eyes.He didn't answer, just silently took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, then turned on the speakerphone and kept talking.

Two cars rushed up the steps, ran over the granite plaza, and rushed to the two of them.The door of the car opened, and a total of six guys wearing sunglasses and military tactical uniforms came out of the front and rear cars. Each of them was equipped with a shadow gun ring, and they all had unfriendly expressions and were very nervous. "Nike and Pukat? You two want to talk?"

"It's us. We're dating Mr. Tass. Where's he?"

"We will take you there, it's not far away, but before we go there, we need to check whether you are dangerous." The gunman in sunglasses said: "The weapons on your body must be removed, and then we will search for explosives. Only after passing the inspection, You can get in the car."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and asked, "Did Mr. Tays abide by the same restraint and not carry a weapon?"

"Yes, we have already checked." The gunman in sunglasses laughed.They are in the same group. The so-called inspection is simply a way of saying. "If you don't accept the inspection, then don't talk about it."

"Okay, I understand your concerns. Where do I put my weapon? Let Pukat hold it?"

The gunman in sunglasses shook his head, took out an iron box with a lid from the car, and said, "Put it in here, and we will have someone holding it and keep it within your sight. In other words, if there are explosives, you must closer to the center of the explosion."

"Understood, it seems that you are very experienced." Zhuang Xuteng unloaded the bone spear gun, untied the belt containing various grenades, and then took off the waistcoat with palm fire, and put them together with the daggers hidden in boots, cuffs, etc. in the box.You don't need to take off your armor jacket and inner armor vest, and you can carry the pocket with your "pet" mouse with you.Zhuang Xuteng put down most of his weapons, only the armor-piercing hammer disguised as a tactical pen was still on his body.

Pukat completed the inspection early on. He did not have any weapons, not even protective clothing, which made people wonder if he came to touch porcelain.While watching Zhuang Xuteng take off his weapon, he kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.It's easy to understand the shadows from guns, daggers, and throwing knives. What's going on with those grenades and palm fire? Is this a mobile ammunition depot?
"Aren't you afraid that these things will explode when touched by mistake?" Pukat asked.

"Just like you, if something goes wrong, you will die, and it won't hurt." Zhuang Xuteng opened his hands and said to the gunman in sunglasses, "Come check it out!"

"You have expressed enough sincerity, that's all." The gunman in sunglasses just closed the box, and no one came up to search him. "You are the one who is in danger, and there is no way to remove the combat shadow implant, and the inspection is just a formality. Please get in the car now, both of you."

Zhuang Xuteng nodded calmly, and got into the car with Pukat one after another.A gunman with sunglasses was sitting across from them holding a box, and two other people lived in the front and back respectively, forming a flanking situation.The cars started again, they left the square, entered the urban area, made a sudden U-turn four intersections away, circled twice, and returned to the square.

The meeting place was between two office buildings on the side of the square. There was a stand selling hot dogs and coffee, and four tables and a dozen chairs were placed nearby.The sunglasses gunman asked Zhuang Xuteng and Pukat to move forward, and then spread out to control the surroundings.The poor stall owner is doomed to have no business today: no one else is allowed to come in, and the only guy sitting inside drinking a coffee and eating a croissant probably won't pay either.

"That's Mr. Tays." Pukat said to Zhuang Xuteng: "He is the manager of the casino group in Peicheng, please be polite."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and walked straight forward.With the assistance of the wraith, the rattan seat moved sideways so that it would not block his steps.When he sat down directly, the chair "automatically" moved forward, just under his buttocks.

"A rare control implant." Tas was attracted by the moving chair, and also interested in Zhuang Xuteng. "Although I don't need to say it, please sit down. The rumors are getting tighter recently, and I need more security."

Because the loss of the treasure house car made the casino group lose face, they paid more attention to their personal image.This can be said to be a means of repairing a dead sheep, or it can be explained by deception, depending on the mentality of the person watching this.

In all fairness, Mr. Tays has a handsome and capable appearance, and his face and clothes are also very clean.He was wearing a plain blue shirt that was pressed, and only the collar was unbuttoned to reveal the armored skin implant on his neck.His black trousers and leather shoes are cut-resistant armored models, and the same style of top is draped over the back of the chair.

I can't tell what brand his clothes are, they may all be custom-made, or they may be real high-end brands.Zhuang Xuteng has always only paid attention to practicality when looking at things, and his appreciation of high-end products and luxury goods is all based on Gegong Taoism.In addition to practicality and comfort, the easiest criterion is whether the name is printed on the thing.The kind of things printed with slogans such as "Designed by Old Man Lu" or "Welcome to Binhe Avenue", regardless of whether the workmanship is good or how expensive it is, are not considered high-end.

Tas is also a practical person, also because he is in his 30s when his ambition and abilities are at their peak.He didn't expect Nick to explain the chair movement to him, and without any extra politeness, he said straight to the point, "You've always wanted to meet us, just for the Viper?"

"Yes. He once betrayed my partner. It's a personal enmity; he also violated the rules of mercenaries not colluding with gangs, so he also has official business." Zhuang Xuteng controlled his expression and said, "I heard that he is doing things for you. So I’m here to ask for an explanation, and also to report.”

"Report? Whether I agree or not, you will do it anyway. Is that what you mean?"

Zhuang Xuteng didn't answer this question, he still kept his previous indifferent expression, and asked: "Will the casino group provide him with protection services, or are they not going to intervene in this matter?"

"We don't want to interfere, because he is indeed working for us. From my personal point of view, I suggest that you should go to the Blood Bat Gang. Viper is a member of the gang. If the gang doesn't protect him, we won't worry about it." You are looking in the wrong direction." Mr. Tass was staring at Zhuang Xuteng's expression while speaking.Obviously, he is watching the situation.

"It's a waste of time to go to the gang, and I'm here to try to make an effort." Zhuang Xuteng said calmly without changing his face: "Since Viper's reputation in the mercenary industry is already bad, cooperating with him will affect your reputation. I think in addition to one's own ability, what kind of people to work with is also an important criterion. Viper betrayed friends and missions, and then killed the middleman of the superior, and was kicked out of Peicheng. Such a triple loser... "

"He's useful now," Tas said.

"Can I understand it this way: Viper already knows who robbed your train?" Zhuang Xuteng frowned slightly—under his active control—and then muttered in a low voice: "It's in Peicheng? Who could it be? "

"Anyway, it's some middleman or mercenary, and it's probably you." Tas suddenly pointed at Zhuang Xuteng and said.

"Maybe it's me? So, although the Viper is useful, its usefulness is not enough to tell you the identity of the train thief." Zhuang Xuteng regained his calm expression and said, "Well... Maybe it was a mistake to come to you. You can even be manipulated by the Viper, it seems that I need to reassess the situation."

"What does reevaluation mean?"

"We think that even if you don't agree with my proposal, you will definitely not go forward to provide protection for Viper. If you ask him, the situation will of course be different, and you may end up. This can't help but make me think about you How much damage has been suffered, how much power is left, how can it be worse than the Viper? Sorry, it’s not that bad anyway. So there are factors of the Blood Bat Gang in it?"

Zhuang Xuteng showed a caring attitude. The more cordial his attitude, the greater his contempt for the casino group.It can be seen that Tas is also a master, he is not angry, and his smiling attitude shows that he only thinks this conversation is very interesting.He didn't admit or deny anything, and he didn't agree or veto any of Zhuang Xuteng's proposals.He just clapped his hands twice, and said, "I think you guys should talk face to face! Go, call Viper over, and let this young man who thought I was being manipulated see how big his mistake is."

Viper coming?This is really unexpected.Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly, feeling that things were getting more and more fun.
