Kove nodded and said, "I am their leader. If there is anything, just speak to me."

"Did you receive the mission notification?" Luo Wen looked up at Kove and asked.

Kove took out his phone. "If it is that bounty notice, we have already received it, and we have already sent people to hunt."

For them, the mercenaries.

When someone hires a killer, it becomes a hunt between hunter and prey.

The hunter cannot fail.

"You sent people out?" Luo Wen asked in surprise. "When?"

"Yesterday," Kove replied. "Someone volunteered, so I certainly supported it."

Luo Wen frowned and said, "You don't even know where the person is; how can you go kill him?"

"Just look for him. If you find him, you find him; if not, wait for the client's new message," Kove said indifferently. "Anyway, they haven't flexed their muscles in a long time; let's just treat it as fun."

"Fun?" Luo Wen's eyes widened. "Don't you know how many people Ning Chen has killed? Even guns can't kill him!"

"Hey, hey, hey! No way? You actually believe that?" Kove laughed loudly. "If such a guy really existed, what would humans be for? Why not just evolve?"

"Unless you have seen him?"

395. Dignity

"Unless you have seen him?" Kove looked at Luo Wen with a beaming smile. "I simply don't believe it. Have you experienced more gunfights, or have we? Do you know the value of dodging bullets?"

Luo Wen looked at this foreigner who spoke Chinese so fluently and frowned tightly. "Although there is no video footage, the higher-ups specifically warned me not to underestimate this Ning Chen; otherwise, we might suffer a great loss! Moreover, Ning Chen's strength is beyond doubt."

"Heh! I just question it; what can you do?" Kove looked at Luo Wen and said. "A little brat; we can kill him easily."

"Then you better not regret it later," Luo Wen looked at Kove and sneered.

Kove shook his head and said, "You should first tell me what you are here for. If you speak poorly, you might get shot!"

As he spoke.

The two big men behind Kove fiddled with their automatic rifles.

"If you dare touch me, beware of the blood oath of the Gulf Family. Taking out a few of you won't be difficult," Luo Wen said coldly, looking at the three men with ill intent.

Kove burst out laughing: "Hahaha! If you really had strength, why would you ask us to kill for you?"

Luo Wen's face turned gloomy. "This matter does not require that side to act; you are in Xia Dao, which is very convenient."

Luo Wen's implied meaning was to treat the mercenaries as tools.

But indeed, that was the case.

Money exchanged for a life.

Naturally, the backer is the greatest.

Kove looked at the guy before him; he clearly had no strength, yet relied on his background to confront him.

If not for the fear of the Gulf Family, he would have already killed this arrogant guy.

Those who could speak such words in front of Kove basically had no chance of survival.

But a guest is a guest, and the other party held extremely vast connections and resources in hand.

Converted, that was money.

Who would go against money?

Money, of course, is better the more there is.

Thinking of this.

Kove looked at Luo Wen and said, "Then we must truly thank the Gulf Family for being able to recognize our strength."

Luo Wen saw the situation easing a bit; there was no need to provoke them further. After all, he was just an agent of a branch, not on some important mission; continuing like this might get him killed by the other party.

Stop while ahead; gaining a little face was enough.

Being alive is far better than any other situation.

"I came this time, first to tell you intelligence about Ning Chen, and second to remind you about Ning Chen's true strength."

Luo Wen glanced at the tent not far away and said, "Won't you invite me in to sit?"

Hearing this, Kove quickly put on a smile, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation. "Let's go, let's go in and sit."

Luo Wen nodded and said, "Good!"

Quickly.

The two entered the tent.

Sitting opposite each other and talking.

Luo Wen first took out his phone, then pulled up a video for Kove to see.

Kove took it and carefully watched the images on the screen.

There, a young man was driving an RV, with a little girl sitting beside him.

They were driving leisurely inside the RV.

Then, through another forward-facing view.

Kove saw that when this RV entered the cross-sea bridge leading into Xia Dao, the screen simply went black.

Kove hesitated for a moment and said, "This means that the one named Ning Chen has already arrived in Xia Dao?"

Luo Wen looked at the image and nodded. "He has arrived, but where he is remains unclear."

"What can be known is that he came by car, not by sea or plane. In this way, if we can see his RV, we can basically lock down his current location."

Kove laughed loudly. "Hahaha, I will pass this on to my men; the rest depends entirely on him."

"What?" Luo Wen frowned. "You only assigned one person? Not a full mobilization?"

Kove grinned. "Of course not. Dealing with a child; sending a burly man with rich killing experience over there is not an easy task?"

"I already said, do not underestimate Ning Chen!" Luo Wen suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly. "He is not the ordinary person we understand!"

Koff spread his arms, leaning against the sofa, then propped his legs on the table and said with great leisure: "If it were someone under my command with no strength, there would be nothing more to say; the Menziran Society would naturally take action."

"Heh," Luo Wen sneered. "If the first attempt fails and we startle the snake, it could very well bring severe consequences."

Koff shrugged indifferently: "I already said, once we accept the mission, the Menziran Society will naturally kill him. As for startling the snake, that is sheer nonsense. If my men find that Did Ning Chen, they will leave a mark on him. No matter how far or where, we will hunt him down."

Luo Wen shook his head: "Then I don't care. The mission from above has already been accepted by you, so Did Ning Chen must die at your hands."

"However, the higher-ups also told me one thing: you must eliminate Did Ning Chen within one week. Otherwise, the mission is canceled, and you won't get a single cent." Luo Wen relayed the intelligence. "I imagine the bounty on Did Ning Chen is something you are eager to claim, right?"

With that,

Luo Wen glanced at the tent he was in. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. It looks so shabby. If we had money, we'd surely renovate it. At least have a construction crew build a proper building or something. How nice that would be! Shelter from wind and rain, and comfortable too."

The smile vanished from Koff's face, and his expression toward Luo Wen grew serious. He looked at Luo Wen and said, "Hey."

Luo Wen turned back, locking eyes with Koff, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

In Koff's chilling gaze,

Luo Wen detected a hint of killing intent.

If he said any more, it might provoke the other to act.

For mercenaries like Koff and his men, money was hardly the issue, but they could not allow such humiliation in their own home.

If mercenaries could not even hold onto their own dignity, they might as well return home and become honest folk.

Luo Wen swallowed hard, his body stiffening slightly. "Anyway, I've told you everything that needed to be said. For now, I am your contact. Report any matters to me. Do not bother me with trivialities; only contact me for truly important matters."

As he spoke, Luo Wen placed a business card bearing his contact information on the table.

"Then I shall take my leave for now."

Having said that,

Luo Wen walked out of the tent, leaving without looking back.

396. The Search

"What a coward!" Koff sneered, watching Luo Wen's retreating figure.

"All of these Gulf families are such cowards. Otherwise, how could they fail to kill even a single child?"

Koff reached out, grabbed a canned drink from the table, and gulped it down fiercely. In less than three seconds, he had drained the can completely.

Then,

Koff's hand suddenly clenched, instantly crushing the canned drink into a ball.

"So unsatisfying!" Koff's expression turned gloomy. "The Gulf family has declined; they are not as powerful as before. Perhaps I could do something else, such as seizing all their business."

However,

Koff's thought passed through his mind only once before he abandoned it.
