Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 242 Father and Son Conspiracy
In the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group base, Claude was assigning tasks to several of his men in his office.
At the same time, Captain William happened to be present. He was lying on the sofa nearby, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking the glass comfortably.
"This is your mission this time . Are you clear about everything?" Claude sat behind his desk and said indifferently to his men without even raising his head.
"Understood, Captain!" The men in front straightened their bodies and responded in unison.
"Okay, you guys..." Claude was about to send his men away, but suddenly he was stunned and fell silent.
At this moment, he received the news that Li Jiu had left the Night Rose Mercenary Group base.
Captain William on the side frowned upon seeing this and looked over thoughtfully.
"Go down!" Claude waved his hand at his men.
Immediately afterwards, the Blood Wolf mercenaries left Captain Claude's office.
"What's wrong with father? Is there any news about that kid?" Captain William walked up to Claude and asked, holding a glass of wine.
"Yes." Claude nodded. "He just left the Night Rose Base and should be heading towards Xinghai Street. Our people are continuing to follow him."
"Great! I didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon." Captain William was delighted, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. "Father, I must seize this opportunity and try to kill him in one go!"
"If possible, I would like to kill him today." Claude's eagle eyes were deep, revealing a thoughtful look, "However, last time, when Moss was dispatched, we failed. In the end, we lost Moss, the awakener, and even you almost couldn't come back. It shows that the kid is not easy to deal with..."
"Father, the last failure was entirely due to the arrogance of that idiot Morse." Captain William frowned and began to defend himself. "Morse was in charge of that operation. Who knew this idiot would get so close to us when we were tracking, and expose our tracks in advance? Otherwise, we wouldn't have failed completely."
"If I am allowed to lead the team personally this time, I will definitely make sure that guy is killed without a burial place!" Captain William said confidently.
"No!" Claude suddenly raised his head and glanced at Captain William. "Don't forget, the Alliance police are not easy to mess with. Let alone whether the assassination will succeed, if you are targeted by the Alliance police afterwards, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even me to protect you."
"What should we do?" Captain William asked anxiously. Speaking of which, he took the initiative to lead the team to assassinate Li Jiu, mainly because he wanted to get rid of Li Jiu himself to avenge the humiliation in the past.
"Let others do it and find someone more reliable. This way, even if something happens, we don't have to deal with it ourselves." Claude retracted his gaze and said expressionlessly.
"Something more reliable..." Captain William murmured, thinking in his heart.
Speaking of reliable people, there are quite a few in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group. After all, thanks to Claude's painstaking efforts over the years, he and his son still have quite a few confidants in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.
However, Captain William did not trust the strength of those lackeys and was worried that they could not deal with Li Jiu.
Especially in the last assassination, Captain William clearly saw with his own eyes that he had shot Li Jiu’s heart with the Barrett cannon. Logically, Li Jiu should not have survived... However, he later received news that Li Jiu had only suffered some minor injuries and recovered quickly...
This incident shocked him for a long time.
Finally, after thinking hard for a long time, he could only attribute the reason to the fact that Li Jiu was probably carrying a precious life-saving talisman similar to a super healing capsule...
Although he didn't think that Li Jiu, a private, could afford such a precious item, this was the only explanation he could think of.
After this first assassination attempt, Captain William deeply realized that Li Jiu was a very difficult character and he was not someone who could be easily dealt with by just any Tom, Dick or Harry. This was another reason why he wanted to deal with Li Jiu personally.
And if he couldn't do it himself, then it would be best for him to find someone who was as strong as him to deal with Li Jiu...
But in the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, besides the father and son, are there other people like this?
"Hmm..." Captain William pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he suggested to Claude, "By the way, father, I heard that you recently recruited a powerful awakener. Can you let him..."
"No, that man is a helper I hired at a high price. He is not one of our subordinates, let alone our confidant. He may not agree to help." Claude shook his head without question.
"Helper? Humph, isn't he just a thug?" Captain William looked disdainful and suggested to Claude again: "Father, didn't you say that everything in this world can be traded with money? As long as we give him enough benefits, are you afraid that he will refuse?"
"You think too simply. Not to mention that the cost of asking him to take action is too high, it is not cost-effective for us. Even if he is willing to take action, I will not agree." Claude said without question.
"Why?" Captain William asked puzzled.
"Because that person's mission is only in the upcoming God of War Contest. Whether Blood Wolf can win the city promotion championship this time depends entirely on him. And before he helps us win the city championship, I don't want him to take any risks." Claude explained indifferently.
In Claude's opinion, with the strength of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, it would not be a problem to win the championship of the district-level auditions in District 5. After all, they are the only two-star mercenary group in District 5, while their opponents are all only one-star mercenary groups.
However, he is not satisfied with just a small district-level championship. In this God of War Tournament, his goal is to win the city-level championship of the entire Shoushan City!
But in order to win the city championship, Blood Wolf's current strength was still a little short, so he spent a lot of money to invite a strong foreign aid...
Captain William frowned, an anxious look appeared on his face. Then he walked back and forth twice and drank the red wine in his hand.
"If that person can't take action, then I really can't think of anyone else in the Blood Wolf who can absolutely kill that guy except me." Captain William put his hands on his work and stared at Claude. "Father, we have to act quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid that kid will return to Night Rose. What do you think we should do?"
Claude frowned slightly. He also knew that time was running out and he had to act as soon as possible.
"Let Mad Wolf lead the team this time." After pondering for a moment, Claude suddenly looked stern and said indifferently.
