Lao Liu and Xiao Qi vented for a while before finally stopping. However, this did not mean that the anger in their hearts had subsided.
Although the two of them were in charge of passing messages between their master and Hans, as long as Hans’ mercenary group did nothing well, they would be the only ones scolded in front of their master. That was why the two of them were so dissatisfied with Hans. Almost every time they met, they would complain about him.
This time, it was even worse. He didn’t even pick up their calls and they couldn’t contact him, causing the two of them to cross the sea and half the world to come to the headquarters in Italy.
Taking a breather, the two of them picked up the glass of water in front of them and took a sip. As if they felt that they had vented enough, Lao Liu put down the glass and couldn’t help but look at Hans impatiently. “What do you plan to do now? Last time, the Master already said that this is your last chance. You can’t even handle a prince from the royal family who left his hometown. How can the Master believe you?”
“Hah, without Master’s funding, your mercenary group’s income will probably decrease. I think you know better than us how important this is. This time, Master is furious. Whether you can get the money next year is hard to say!” Xiao Qi chimed in coldly.
When Hans heard this, he straightened his body on the sofa with a calm expression. Just as he was about to say something, he saw his personal attendant walk in quickly.
Hans paused. The attendant came to Hans’ side and whispered something in his ear.
Lao Liu and Xiao Qi did not know what had happened, but they were not in the mood to ask about the mercenary group. They just instinctively stared at Hans’ face, wanting to see his expression.
Hans remained indifferent and did not show any additional reaction.
The attendant retreated after saying that. Hans sighed faintly and looked at Lao Liu and Xiao Qi. He slowly said, “My mercenary group has already done our best for Sir’s request. The target is protected by very powerful experts. I’m already at my wits’ end.”
“I lost seven mercenaries on three missions. In the end, I sent six aces in our organization to go together. In the end, no one has returned. It’s unknown if they’re alive or dead.”
“I know that a failed mission is a failure, and any excuse is just an excuse. However, what I want to say is that in the years we have served Sir, our mercenary group has never relaxed for a moment. As long as it’s Sir’s request, we have perfectly completed it.”
“Only this time, I have no choice. Even if Sir plans to withdraw his investment and never sponsor us again, I have nothing to say!”
Hans’ words were what he was thinking at the moment. There was no trace of sympathy or other goals. In fact, he already knew that after he said that he had no choice, his collaboration with this boss would be over. However, he was not lying. He had no choice.
“Leader Hans, do you mean you don’t plan to continue working on this mission?” Lao Liu’s expression darkened as he frowned at Hans.
Hans did not dawdle and immediately nodded to admit, “That’s right. If we continue, it will only bring unnecessary casualties to our mercenary group.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hans suddenly lowered his head and said solemnly, “I’ve disappointed Sir. Please find someone else!”
Lao Liu: “…”
Xiao Qi: “…”
The two of them were so shocked by Hans’s words that they were speechless. They did not expect Hans to give up on a gold mountain like their master just like that. It had to be known that the amount of funding their master provided to the mercenary group every year was astronomical, but Hans gave up so easily?
However, what the two of them did not know was that it was difficult for Hans to give up. He had already done enough to keep this Sir behind him. This was also the first time Andrew, and the rest had taken action together. Including Irene, who rushed over later, they were the six strongest people in the mercenary group.
He had tried his best. He knew he could not do it, so he gave up!
Lao Liu’s expression changed drastically, but he didn’t know what to say.
“The two of you have come from afar. If you don’t mind, you can stay here for a few days. We’ve known each other for a few years, and we no longer have an employer-employee relationship. We’re willing to entertain the two of you as friends.” Hans changed the topic and invited the two people who had never treated him well.
How would Lao Liu and Xiao Qi dare to stay here?
In the past, relying on their master’s financial support for their mercenary group, the two of them knew Hans did not dare to offend them, so they used the tiger’s might to talk nonsense and said many nasty words.
Now that the employer-employee relationship could no longer be maintained, the other party did not have to be afraid of their master. Would the two lackeys still have the guts to stay here? They probably did not even dare to sleep.
Therefore, Lao Liu immediately rejected him. “There’s no need. I’ll convey Leader Hans’s intentions to the Master. As for what the Master says, I can’t guarantee it.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them quickly stood up, thinking to quickly leave this godforsaken place.
Hans didn’t force the two of them to stay. He quickly stood up and said, “Please help me convey a message to Sir. Tell him that our mercenary group is very grateful for his support all these years.”
Lao Liu had a complicated expression on his face, but Xiao Qi habitually snorted. In their hearts, no matter how humble Hans was, he was just putting on an act.
Staying no longer, the two of them quickly left.
As soon as Lao Liu and Xiao Qi left, Jian Ai and the rest arrived at the villa on the mountainside.
As soon as they met, Hans said to Jian Ai, “Jian, I’ve already sent someone to follow them.”
Jian Ai nodded. “Thank you.”
If she wanted to get anything out of these two people, she still needed Yun Buyao’s Spiritual Art. At least, she could ensure that the other party would not lie. However, Jian Ai could not attack them at Hans’ territory because the side effect of the Spiritual Art was that after the spell ended, the person under control would faint for a period of time.
If the two of them fainted for no reason at Hans’s territory, Jian Ai was afraid of causing trouble for Hans.
Therefore, she changed her mind at the last minute and asked the attendant to tell Hans to send someone to follow the two of them. After the two of them left the mercenary group headquarters, Jian Ai and the rest would find an opportunity to take action.
An hour later, someone brought back news that Lao Liu and Xiao Qi had checked into a five-star hotel. It was obvious that the two of them planned to rest in Rome for a day before leaving.
After receiving the news, Jian Ai and the rest took action immediately!
