The stable was filled with the smell of hay and horses, the light was dim, and the atmosphere was tense.
Danny bowed slightly, holding a sharp dagger in his right hand, the blade flashing coldly.
His eyes were fixed on the front, his body tense, ready to deal with the next attack, but when he saw that the person attacking him was Hood, the expression on his face instantly became a little ferocious.
"You really didn't intend to keep the agreement." Danny lowered his voice and roared, his eyes were full of anger and disappointment, as if he was betrayed.
Hood's mouth corners slightly raised, and he whispered: "Didn't you guess it a long time ago?" His tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to care about Danny's anger.
At this time, Nott, Paul and Jules also came out from other directions, their eyes were cold, holding weapons, and surrounded Danny in the middle.
Danny's eyes swept over the three of them, and he cursed in his heart, as if none of the mercenaries were good people.
"What about Charlie? Are you not going to let him go?" Suddenly, Danny looked up at Hood, with a flash of despair in his eyes.
Hood frowned slightly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "I haven't thought about this yet. If he doesn't pose a threat to us, I also want to keep him alive."
Hearing Hood's answer, Danny took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the situation was getting dangerous and he would never be let go by Hood and the others. He could only think of a way to protect Charlie's safety.
"He won't be a threat to you, please let him go."
Although there was still no change on Danny's face, Hood still heard the meaning of pleading in his tone.
With a turn of his eyes, Hood pretended to think. After a few seconds, he said seriously: "Old Charlie may not threaten us, but you are a threat to us. As long as you are alive, you may expose us."
After speaking, Hood gave a look to Nott and the other two, and then stood quietly waiting for Danny's decision.
About a minute later, under the gaze of four people, Danny suddenly dropped the dagger in his hand and knelt on the ground. He looked at Hood calmly and said in a calm tone:
"I know you are using my feelings for Charlie to induce me to lay down my weapon, but you underestimate the friendship between Charlie and me. I am willing to bet my life that you will let Charlie go."
As soon as the voice fell, Danny closed his eyes and waited for the next fate.
After hearing Danny's words, Hood was stunned, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He looked at the man kneeling on the ground in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a burst of self-mockery in his heart. He didn't expect that one day he would become a threat to the friendship between others.
However, when he thought of the robbers such as Nott and Monkron, Hood's heart hardened again. He knew clearly that now was not the time to be soft-hearted. In order to ensure their and his own safety, he must kill Danny.
Hood took a deep breath, slowly raised the dagger in his hand, and slowly walked towards Danny.
At this moment, Danny suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Hood and said, "Are you still not going to do it?" After that, he closed his eyes again, waiting for death to come.
Hood was silent for a moment, and finally stabbed Danny's chest with a sword. As the dagger was inserted, Danny's body trembled violently, and then fell in a pool of blood, and the blood dyed the ground red, forming a bright blood flower.
[You killed a professional killer and gained 230 experience points]
Huh...
Hood put away the dagger, his thoughts became a little trance, and he turned his head to look at Nott: "Nott, am I a bad guy?"
Nott was stunned, then reacted, looked at the corpse on the ground, and shook his head firmly.
"Paul, Jules..." Hood turned around and looked at the other two senior robbers on the side.
The two hesitated for a while, but still nodded: "Boss, I know you are doing this for our safety."
Hearing the answers of the two, Hood was speechless for a long time.
"There's some noise in the stable, go check it out."
Just then, several torches lit up not far away, followed by the shouts of the guards.
Seeing this, Hood could only take Nott, Paul and the other two away quickly and return to the tent.
————
The next morning, the sun had not yet fully risen, and the sky was still covered with a layer of light gray.
Hood was awakened by a loud noise in his sleep. He frowned, rubbed his eyes, and then sat up from the blanket irritably.
The messy noises coming from outside the tent made him unable to fall asleep at all. Hood put on his leather armor, kicked Nott who was still sleeping next to him, and woke him up: "Nott, don't sleep, come with me to take a look."
After the two walked out of the tent, they heard the mercenaries and bounty hunters around them talking about it.
A mercenary said, "Last night, a captain was assassinated..."
Another person took over the conversation: "I know, I know, the assassin is Wolfhound Danny."
Someone questioned, "Isn't he dead?" Someone else immediately responded, "Who knows, anyway, the guards found his body in the stable."
Hod and Nott looked at each other, without saying anything, just standing aside and listening to everyone's discussion.
"Hey, brother Hod, you're also woken up." An arm slapped Hod's shoulder, and before Hod could draw his sword to fight back, Bearded Jason had already appeared in front of him.
Seeing that the attacker was Bearded Jason, Hod quickly let go of his dagger and smiled, "Jason, you're awake too."
"Yeah, it's a mess here, I can't sleep..." Bearded Jason muttered.
"By the way, do you know what happened? "Hodder asked nonchalantly.
"Hey, you don't know yet, a captain was assassinated last night." The bearded man was surprised when he heard this.
"The captain was assassinated?" Hodder pretended to be surprised.
The bearded Jason walked up, hugged Hodder's neck, and whispered: "Let me tell you, Roy, the captain of the eighth team, was assassinated by wolfhound Danny last night."
"Wolfhound Danny?"
"Yes, he used to be the most famous killer in Rhine Town, but he hasn't appeared for a long time. We all thought he was dead, but who knew that he was found in the stable by the guards yesterday." The bearded Jason said in one breath.
"Who killed him?" Hodder asked curiously.
"I don't know, but everyone guessed that it must be Danny's employer who did it, just to silence him."
"Silence him? Is it necessary?"
"Of course, you know, it's a captain who died. If people knew who the employer behind Danny was, Lord Conrad would definitely send someone to arrest him. "Bearded Jason looked at Hod with a look of "You don't understand this".
Just as the two were about to continue talking, a team of guards suddenly came over quickly. They directly separated the mercenaries who were talking, and then stood in place with short spears in hand.
Then, Barnett and Henry, whom Nott had seen before, came over here accompanied by several guards.
