Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 239 At All Costs
"Trouble? What trouble can we have? Didn't we say that as long as we kill him before that day comes, there will be no problem?" Captain William asked puzzledly.
"That was in the past. But now, the people over there are getting anxious. After all, that kid is growing too fast... It hasn't been long since he was promoted to the rank of corporal. Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, his ability level may have reached the late soldier level, and he may even reach the general level soon..." A trace of anxiety flashed in Claude's eyes. He paused and continued, "The people over there have given us an ultimatum. We have to get rid of that kid within a month, otherwise... we will be the ones to be killed!"
"What?! They are going too far!" Captain William was shocked and angry, and said angrily: "Father, you are at least the head of a regiment with the rank of lieutenant colonel, why do you have to listen to their orders?"
"Lieutenant Colonel? Humph, even if you are a lieutenant general, if you don't have power, you are just an ant in the eyes of those big families. They can easily wipe you out at any time." Claude snorted coldly, shook his head, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and clenched his fists slightly, "It's a pity that I'm not a lieutenant colonel in the military, otherwise, they wouldn't dare to look down on me so much..."
Captain William was shocked. He didn't expect those people to be so powerful.
He only knew that his father assassinated Li Jiu because he received benefits from a distant big family, so he worked for the other party, but he didn't expect that there was actually a factor of coercion in this...
"Father, this means that we must kill that guy within the next month, otherwise it will be the end of us..." Captain William frowned.
"Well... you can understand it this way. Although it is not that easy for them to kill us father and son, if the mission fails, then the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group will definitely not be able to be saved... and the Blood Wolf is the result of my years of hard work, and it is also the only force we father and son have. Therefore, once the Blood Wolf collapses, it can be said to be our doomsday..." Claude pondered.
"In that case, then within the next month, we have no choice but to get rid of that guy at all costs!" Captain William's eyes flashed with a sinister look.
"That's right, we have to do it at all costs..." Claude nodded.
"But father, I don't understand how that boy could grow up so fast?" Captain William was puzzled. "When I first met him, he was just an inconspicuous private. It seems that less than a month has passed. How did he become a corporal?!"
"In addition, we all know how difficult it is to improve the level of superpowers. If there is no corresponding method to improve the level of superpowers, even if he is given a year, he may not be able to improve to a small realm. And even if he has a method to improve superpowers, it seems impossible to improve to a small realm within a month, right?"
"Could it be that the boy's luck is really so incredible?" Captain William's face was full of jealousy.
"This is nothing strange. Awakeners cannot be judged by common sense, not to mention his ability to control souls, which is a very rare type. It is said that he has infinite potential..." Claude shook his head, a cruel look flashed in his eagle eyes, "But it is precisely because of this that he deserves to die! Otherwise, when he really grows up, I'm afraid that even without the people over there taking action, this kid alone will be enough to pose a fatal threat to us."
"So, father, what are you going to do next?" Captain William nodded silently and asked.
"To kill that guy, we must first seize every opportunity we can..." Claude pondered for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, you immediately send someone to the vicinity of the Night Rose Mercenary Group base and monitor the movements there 24 hours a day. Once you find that the guy has left the base, report to me immediately, and then I will send someone to assassinate him."
"Well, yes, father. I'll do it now." Captain William nodded.
"Go ahead." Claude said indifferently.
Afterwards, Captain William immediately left the secret room and prepared to arrange people to monitor Li Jiu.
Although they were instructed to assassinate Li Jiu, Captain William himself was also eager to kill Li Jiu, so he was still very proactive in this matter.
After Captain William left, Claude stood up from the sofa and said expressionlessly, "Boy, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being ungrateful and rejecting my kindness..."
Speaking of which, although Claude had no hatred towards Li Jiu, and it seemed that he was threatened by the Donna family, he went to assassinate Li Jiu. But in fact, when he learned that there was an awakener with unlimited potential in the Night Rose Mercenary Group, he immediately instinctively felt a potential threat... Perhaps with the help , the Night Rose Mercenary Group is likely to threaten the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group's dominant position in the Fifth District of Shoushan City!
As for this kind of potential threat, Claude's approach has always been to nip it in the bud!
In other words, even without the coercion from Donna's family, he would still attack Li Jiu!
Not to mention that after killing Li Jiu under the name of the Donna family, he also received a huge reward...
…
On the second day, the sun rose in the east, and the morning light shone into the window of Li Jiu's bedroom from the barren mountains.
"Oh..." Li Jiu opened his eyes, stretched deeply, then smiled slightly, and then he jumped up from the bed.
After a night's rest, all the fatigue from the previous few days' missions was gone.
After getting up, he washed quickly.
He planned to go to Xinghai Street today, mainly to confirm how much money was in that anonymous account, and to buy some clothes and other items.
However, before leaving the dormitory, Li Jiu took a Desert Eagle pistol, a military dagger, and three pistol magazines.
Because after experiencing the last assassination attempt, Li Jiu's vigilance naturally increased a lot. He knew that for a long time after today, he might not be able to completely escape the dangerous situation of being assassinated.
However, Li Jiu was not afraid of those assassinations. He even expected that the scumbag father and son from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group would send someone to assassinate him again when he went out this time.
Because, after knowing who wanted to kill him, Li Jiu couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He wanted to take the initiative and completely eliminate the source of danger!
