Jian Ai looked straight into Hans’ blue eyes with determination.
Hans looked at Jian Ai’s petite body and heard her words. He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows with interest.
Behind Jian Ai, Yu Wuyuan and Yun Buyao protected her from both sides. It was obvious who the core person was.
“Please sit!”
After a while, Hans looked away from Jian Ai and raised his chin at the sofa opposite him, showing that Jian Ai and the rest could sit down and talk.
Since he dared to let Jian Ai, and the rest in, he was completely confident. However, as for whether he would kill these people, Hans did not have an accurate idea. Everything depended on the subsequent negotiations between the two sides.
Hans’ request was very simple. If what Jian Ai said was true and Irene and the rest were still alive, as long as the other party returned them to him, they could discuss everything.
If he realized that the other party was just trying to trick him, Hans would not be merciful.
However…
Hans’ gaze gently swept across Yu Wuyuan’s expressionless face. This man’s aura made him quite concerned. From the moment they appeared, the first person he noticed was this man in a black suit.
It was like a magnetic field between experts. Without needing Yu Wuyuan to say anything, Hans could feel that this person was an expert!
Jian Ai and the rest didn’t stand on ceremony. They were here to lay their cards on the table with Hans. They walked to the sofa and sat down. Yu Wuyuan helped Zhi Tong sit on the small sofa on the other side and asked with concern, “How are you?”
Zhi Tong panted weakly and forced a pale smile at Yu Wuyuan. He said weakly, “I’m fine. I can heal myself!”
Yu Wuyuan nodded slightly and turned around to sit beside Jian Ai.
Seeing this, Hans spoke first. “Tell me, what do you want from me?”
He was not someone who liked to beat around the bush. Since both sides had their own goals, it was better to be straightforward.
This suited Jian Ai’s intentions. With no nonsense, Jian Ai said, “You sent people to assassinate Bai Zhou multiple times. I know you accepted other people’s requests. I just want to know who the person behind this is!”
Hans suddenly chuckled and looked at Jian Ai. He drawled, “Child, you’re still too young. Perhaps you know little about the rules of our line of work. We can’t reveal information about our customers. This is called professional ethics!”
“That’s your rule. It has nothing to do with me!” Jian Ai looked at Hans calmly and said, “You just have to tell me who that person is, and I’ll return all your people to you intact.”
“I’ve never thought of being enemies with the International Mercenary Group. Even if the people who have assassinated Bai Zhou many times before are your people, I know that this is the meaning of the mercenary group’s existence. The culprit is the person hiding in the dark. Since we’re sitting here negotiating, why don’t we be friendly?”
Jian Ai’s words were a little arrogant. When the proud Hans heard this, he instinctively frowned.
He did not like this sharp girl in front of him. How dare she talk to him in such a tone? She did not know the immensity of heaven and earth!
“You have to understand the situation. The place you’re in now is my territory!” When he spoke again, Hans’ tone was already cold.
Jian Ai was unmoved. Instead, she casually leaned back and looked into Hans’ slightly angry eyes. She said faintly, “Leader Hans, you have to understand something. We have six ability users from the mercenary group now. You want nothing to happen to them, right?”
“Are you threatening me?” Hans’s gaze turned cold, and he instantly released his aura.
The powerful pressure came crashing down, making one’s breathing become stifled.
Although Jian Ai and the rest were already mentally prepared, they did not expect Hans’ strength to be so terrifying. This pressure was even stronger than the aura when Irene appeared.
However, Jian Ai was unmoved by the pressure Hans brought. She didn’t even show any additional reaction. Hearing this, she answered, “Whether or not it’s a threat depends on Leader Hans’s sincerity!”
“It’s true that this is your mercenary group, but does Leader Hans really think that we can’t get out just because we can enter?”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Hans could think about what Jian Ai meant, Yu Wuyuan raised his hand gently, and silver-white light appeared on his fingers.
With a gentle sweep, a silver sword aura flashed across the air in front of them. The aura Hans released was instantly cut off. Jian Ai and Yun Buyao immediately felt relieved, and their breathing became smoother.
Hans could not help but sway. The sudden return of his aura shocked him, but he looked at Yu Wuyuan in shock. It was obvious that the scene just now had shocked Hans.
What ability did this man have? He could break his aura so easily! He was not wrong. This man was definitely powerful beyond his imagination.
At that moment, Hans seemed to understand why Irene had lost.
Yu Wuyuan’s naturally upturned lips carried a faint smile. Under Hans’ probing and surprised gaze, he slowly retracted his hand.
Jian Ai’s voice followed. “I just didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so I let someone sneak in to investigate. But this doesn’t mean that I don’t have the strength to fight you. Believe me, it’s best if both sides don’t go that far. Otherwise, you’ll regret it!”
Just as Yu Wuyuan had said, as long as Jian Ai gave the order, he could instantly flatten the mercenary headquarters on the mountainside. Jian Ai’s words were not exaggerated!
Hans was an exceptionally calm person. If he had thought that the other party was just a turtle in a jar and would be at his mercy after entering his territory, now, as soon as Yu Wuyuan made a move, Hans already knew the depth of this person.
This girl was not joking with him!
“As long as you get information about that person, you’ll let Irene and the rest go?” Hans retracted his aura and spoke again. His tone differed greatly from before.
From Hans’ tone, Jian Ai knew that Yu Wuyuan’s strength intimidated him and will talk to her sincerely.
She nodded gently. “I can let them go, but I also want your promise. In the future, you must send no one to assassinate Bai Zhou. Otherwise…”
