My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees.

He has to give an account to his brothers, and he also has to give an account to himself.

When he arrived at the forest on the outskirts of the city, as expected, he saw a man standing on the roadside waiting for him from a long distance away. The man saw Mudrick coming and bowed to him.

"Captain Mudrick, come with me." With that said, he turned his head and exposed his back to Mudrick without caring, just leading the way.

Mudrick frowned, not knowing what his opponent was thinking, but in this situation, he could only take one step at a time.

He followed the other person into the depths of the woods, and then saw a familiar figure in a clearing in the woods.

Li Te, Virgil, and several members of the Iron Wolf mercenary group who were tied up behind them.

"Captain Mudrick, long time no see." Li Te said, showing a smile.

It was as if she had forgotten that Mudrick had verbally humiliated her a few days ago.

"It's been a long time indeed. I've been thinking about you these past few days, Mr. Li Te." Mudrick said this and licked his lips, making Li Te feel sick.

But considering that this was a negotiation, Li Teuk still suppressed his inner discomfort and said: "Captain Mudrick, although we have had a lot of unpleasantness before, I still hope that we can turn our hostility into friendship."

"I know that as mercenaries, what you value most is money. Doing things for others is just a matter of timely payment. You are not wrong in the first place." Li Te said.

"But because you overestimated your strength this time and failed to complete this commission, you provoked us." Li Te said, looking at Mudrick. "I want you to tell me who ordered you to do this."

"In this way, I can let your men go and compensate you a sum of money. From now on, all the bad things between us will be wiped out."

"But you are not sincere enough." Mudrick noticed the problem with sharp eyes. "I don't have as many men as you have now, right?"

"In order to prevent you from taking them all away directly here by force,

Come on, I purposely only brought some out. " Leeteuk explained.

After all, she couldn't say: "Your brothers did bad things and were all brought to justice by the doctor." Right?

What's the point of talking about it? Just start fighting and be done with it.

"Okay, then you are more alert." Mudrick heard this and didn't say anything. He just nodded and accepted the statement.

"However, you should also know that mercenaries never care about the identity of their employer, they only care about the money in their hands."

"Besides, do you think the person who handled this matter would care about spending more money to hire an agent to assign tasks?" Mudrick sneered and looked at Li Te.

"...So, there's just no need to talk?" Lite said in a suppressed voice after hearing this.

"It's not that we can't talk about it, it's that we can't talk about it at all." Mudrick shook his head. "For this mission, the client is an intermediary agent. Do you need me to explain it to you?"

"No need." Lite shook his head. "But since the other party is willing to find you, he must believe in your strength, right?"

"Your previous cooperation was not all completed through agents, right?" Li Te said, looking at Mudrick.

"You brat, what do you know?!" Mudrick was shocked when he heard that Li Te knew this.

The other party must have known something.

He had the habit of keeping accounts and saving contracts. When he thought about the disappearance of people that night, Mudrick immediately guessed what happened.

My house has definitely been invaded!

They secretly looked through their own information.

This is the only possibility.

Thinking this, Mudrick glared at Leeteuk.

"Boy, don't you know it's rude to break into other people's rooms? Is this what you call sincerity?"

"Sincerity is something that divides people." Hearing this, Lite shrugged helplessly. "I think Captain Mudrick might be hiding something from us, so I'll do this."

"Okay, okay." Mudrick nodded. "Then it seems we don't need to talk."

At this time, he drew his sword from his waist.

"Let him go now, or die, you choose one!" With that said, Mudrick looked at Li Te.

"I think you may be thinking a little too much." Li Te said, smiled nonchalantly, and then clapped his hands.

From the shadows of the woods, the orange-haired half-orc girl who had saved several of Lit's people that day came out.

She stood in front of Li Teuk, staring closely at Mudrick.

"Captain Mudrick, do you think you can beat this guy?" Lite smiled. "I should be the one making the conditions now, right? Hand over all the confidential documents in your storage ring."

"Otherwise..." Li Te said, pulled out Vergil's sword, and walked to the prisoners behind him.

"I will kill one of your brothers every minute." As she said this, her tone was filled with a hint of cruelty.

That night she read all the contracts of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group.

The further he turned to the back, the greater the turmoil in Li Teuk's heart.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is a market. As the entrusted party, the mercenary group itself should be evaluated separately from the entrustment incident.

But after seeing all the outrageous things the Iron Wolf mercenary group did in the future, Leeteuk decided that he would not let anyone in the Iron Wolf mercenary group go.

Yes, the mercenary group does work for money, but it is precisely because they can do anything that the nobles unscrupulously use the mercenary group as their black glove.

In society, there are a number of mercenary groups that only take on serious business, that is, escorting caravans and rescuing hostages. Although they don't make much money, at least they are not harmful to nature.

If what the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group did before could be understood as making a living, then it completely changed and turned into a crime-related job to make money.

Many mercenaries with ideals and ambitions chose to quit the group after seeing the mission of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Most of those who stayed here were people who could give up all morals for money.

Do you feel guilty for killing these people?

Obviously not.

If the doctor were at the scene right now and saw Lee Teuk's actions, he would definitely applaud Lee Teuk and praise him.

He thought that Li Teuk was just a child, but he didn't expect that Li Teuk's character had become mature.

At least, he's become a lot like Orson in not showing mercy.

(PS: This chapter comes a little late, but considering it is 1,000 words, you will definitely read it.

Do you forgive me? By the way, please give me a monthly ticket. Woohoo, I used to reach the 13th place in the month, but now I’m almost out of the top 20. I obviously need so much more.)

Chapter 98: Do you think I am level six? (8K)

"Master Li Te, do you think that I am a little too kind?" Mudrick said, looking at Li Te with a smile.

"My brothers have followed me through life and death for many years, and they have never experienced any big storms." Mudrick continued.

"I treat them well on weekdays. The salary and mission bonus dividends I pay them are also the first in the imperial city. From the day they joined the group, they have been prepared to die one day."

"Do you think you can threaten me with them?"

"Yeah, no threat." Li Te nodded after hearing this.

Then, she winked at the orange-haired girl, who nodded, rushed forward, drew her sword and stabbed Mudrick.

When Mudrick saw this, he also drew his sword and fought with the orc girl.

…

Go back to one day ago.

Saint Laurent City, inside the cafe.

"Sister Chelinina." Lite looked at Chelinina sitting opposite and gave her a kind smile.

"Master Li Te, what's wrong with you coming to see me today?" Chelinina looked at Li Te and asked with some confusion.

In the past two days, she had been running business in Saint Laurent City. Lite didn't know who she got the information from, but he actually took the initiative to find Chelinina.

Chelinina looked at Lite opposite and felt a little emotional.

The last time I saw Lite, she was still the little brother who only followed Orson, was a little submissive and didn't dare to trouble others. Unexpectedly, Lite had grown up to the point where he could be so polite and generous when meeting people alone. .

After all, the relationship between him and Lite cannot be said to be very good. The only connection between the two people is Orson.

"You don't have to shout so loudly, just call me Lite, Sister Chelinina." Lite smiled.

"Okay, Lite." Chelinina also showed a relaxed smile after hearing this.

"What do you want me to do with you this time, sister?"

"That..." Li Te said, still a little embarrassed, and then she looked up at Chelinina.

"Sister Chelinina, didn't Orson say before that if I have any financial problems, I can come to you?"

"Ah, Orson did say that." Chelinina nodded after hearing this. "What's wrong? Have you spent the three thousand gold coins I gave you last time?"

Hearing what Li Te said, Chelinina knew what Li Te wanted to do with her.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t have enough money and I’m asking for money from myself.

Thinking of this, Chelinina's view of Leeteuk changed again.

Is this the so-called transition from frugality to luxury?

Liteuk had lived in the countryside before, and Chelinina knew this without a doubt.

Unexpectedly, just a few months after Little entered the Duke's house, money became worthless in her eyes.

Three thousand gold coins is a lot of money even for the living expenses of a noble son. Living in the Imperial Academy, if you don't have any bad habits, you won't be able to spend that much money.

Could it be that this Li Teuk is a born prodigal?

Thinking of this, Chelinina regretted her previous decision to bet on Lite.

Then, she continued to ask with some worry: "Li Te, did you go to a casino or a bar? Or, did you go to one of those fancy places? Otherwise, why did you spend your money so fast?"

"No!" Hearing this, Lite blushed and shook his head. "I didn't go to those places. Sister Chelinina, I also kept a lot of the money you gave me before and haven't spent it all. It's just that I have something urgent recently and I need a lot of money..."

"That's it...then I understand." Hearing this, Chelinina nodded, indicating that she understood. "So, Liteuk, can you tell me, sister, what exactly it is and how much it will cost?"

"Well..." Li Te was silent for a while after hearing this, and then told Chelinina. "Okay, I'll tell Sister Chelinina about you, but you can't tell anyone else."

"Of course, I will definitely keep the secret for you, Little Li Te." Seeing Li Te's strange appearance, Chelinina also felt a little maternal inexplicably, and nodded in agreement with Li Te.

"To put it simply, I have been targeted by others recently, and they seem to be trying to assassinate me."

After hearing what Leeteuk said, Chelinina showed surprise.

look.

"But, I heard that the security at Imperial College is very strong."

"Yes, but I happened to have something to do recently and can't stay in Imperial College, so I'm a little worried..."

"Then you can't let Orson accompany you?"

"Well, Orson is also busy with his own affairs, so I'm going to pay a security guard to protect me for a while." Li Te said this, stretched out his fingers and made a sign.

"Ten thousand gold coins?" Chelinina asked doubtfully.

Ten thousand gold coins can indeed hire a very powerful bodyguard in Saint Laurent City.

The turnover of her chamber of commerce during this period was quite large, and all of this was thanks to Orson. Thinking that helping Lite was also equivalent to helping Orson, Chelinina was ready to agree without thinking.

"No, one hundred thousand."

But what Lite said next made Chelinina stunned.

"One hundred thousand gold coins!?" Chelinina looked at Lite in shock.

One hundred thousand gold coins, good guy, are you going to ask an eighth-level master to protect your safety?

One hundred thousand gold coins is neither too much nor too little.

For a farmer living in the countryside, even ten gold coins, let alone one hundred thousand gold coins, were a number that he could not even imagine in his life.

Although the total value of the agricultural products produced by a farmer definitely exceeds ten gold coins, after being taxed, he can leave very little wealth.

For a citizen living in the city, ten gold coins are equivalent to a considerable deposit.

And 100,000 gold coins can even allow you to buy one of the towns in a city farther away from the empire and live the life of a mayor.

And to say few is actually quite small.

After all, Louis, the president of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and Mohammed, the president of the Ali Chamber of Commerce, had previously made a deal. In order to obtain this secret of the commercial messenger, the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce spent a full three million gold coins.

As long as a city is not particularly remote and poor, the tax collected in the two industries of agriculture and business every year will far exceed this figure. The reason why no businessmen seem to be rich is simply because the city needs to invest in various facilities, institutions and organizations. Just a lot of money to maintain.
