Chapter Seventy Assassination

  In the blink of an eye, the old man withdrew with the mercenaries, leaving Little Joseph thrown into a corner, they didn't care about this small role.

  Xian Ni'er and others walked forward slowly, one after another entering the inn. Han Jin walked to the end, before entering the door he turned around and glanced back, Xiao Jue's face was full of hesitation, seeing Han Jin's eyes, he was stunned, and quietly followed him.

  "What the hell is going on here?" Mo Xinkai shouted.

  "It's my fault, I was too careless." Han Jin said in a low voice: "However... this Guanyu City seems not as good as you said."

  "Isn't the map obviously incomplete? They... why did they say it was complete?" Keli asked, trembling.

  "There are many reasons, it's hard to say, the only thing that can be confirmed is that he didn't have good intentions." Han Jin thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because he's related to this matter, so he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, at least not to attract the attention of the United Elders' Council, or maybe... he likes your seal."

  "Do you like my seal? What does he want to do?" Qili only felt that her scalp was about to explode.

  Han Jin sighed and changed the subject: "Little Joseph, do you know that old man?"

  "He's called Cromwell, an old mad dog!" Little Joseph said gritting his teeth.

  "What was he doing in the Mercenaries' Guild?"

  "The inspector's powers are immense." Mo Xing Ke added in a deep voice: "Moreover, he is a 9th rank professional."

  "You still haven't told me what he wants my seal for?" Qili exclaimed, before today, she had never mentioned the secret of the seal to anyone, everyone just thought it was a decorative item that Qili carried with her, in fact, Qili wasn't distrusting her friends, but because the meaning of the seal was really too significant.

  "If he had the seal, he could find someone to impersonate as the heir of Morgan Merchant Group or win the trust of the United Elderly Council."

  "Is it that important?" Sasou interjected, "Have you forgotten what happened in the eleventh town? Now even the people of Morgan Merchant Group don't trust Kairi, what use is a seal?"

  "At least, he had a legitimate reason to kill and plunder. The things that happened in Sacred Crown City... should have already spread." Han Jin smiled: "Do you think those people were killed by whom?"

  "Sasori...!" Sosuke exclaimed in surprise.

  Just then the door was flung open with a crash, and little Joseph, standing in the doorway, was taken by surprise, let out a cry of pain, and fell to the ground. He had just been flogged, and the hotel door struck him right on his sore spot, doubling him up like a ball.

  Right after that, a fiery person burst in: "Everyone get ready... Eh! Little guy, are you okay?"

  "It's nothing..." Little Joseph struggled to get up.

  Xier quickly forgot about the little accident and excitedly shouted: "Quick, you guys get ready, I'm taking you to make a fortune!"

  "What's gotten into you?"

  "Just received a task..."

  "Didn't you accept the quest to hunt down the demon beast?" Mo Xinko's face changed drastically, hastily interrupting Xierna's words.

  "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Xue Lina glared at Mo Xinkai, and said with a pleased tone: "I've taken on a mission to escort a merchant caravan, sending fifteen carts loaded with armor and weapons to Holy Crown City. Ha... just walking along the road, I can earn 300 gold coins, it's 300 gold coins!!"

  This time, everyone's face changed. Mo Xinke slapped the case and stood up: "Are you crazy?! Shengguancheng is at war! Do you want to send fifteen horse-drawn carriages loaded with armor and weapons over there?"

  "Fight... fight a battle?"

  "You don't know??"

  "How can we suddenly go to war?" Shilna had already brought out a sobbing tone.

  "Enough nonsense, we've been fighting for almost half a year now!"

  Xilina turned around and rushed out again, Mo Xinkai sat down on the chair with a thud, sighing repeatedly, apparently worried about Xilina.

  "Sasshou, if there's someone nearby watching us, can you use magic to find them?" Han Jin said in a low voice.

  "I've already grasped the Clairvoyant Eye, but I can't maintain it for too long."

  "You mean... someone is watching us?" Xanthe asked.

  "I don't know, but if that old fellow Cromwell really wants to get Morgan's seal, he'll definitely send someone over to keep an eye on us." Han Jin stood up and walked over to Little Joseph, patted his shoulder, and led him aside, whispering a few words in his ear. Little Joseph suddenly raised his head, staring blankly at Han Jin.

  Han Jin said a few more words, and Little Joseph hesitated for a long time before nodding vigorously. Then Han Jin gave Little Joseph over ten gold coins, and he hastily left the inn.

  "What's the little guy up to?" Sasori asked.

  "Make some arrangements ahead of time, so as not to have any unexpected situations later." Han Jin smiled and said: "I was deceived by you all, thinking that this isolated city was a paradise, otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a passive situation now."

  "I was also deceived by others," Xanier said with a smile.

  "Mo Xinke, you grew up here." Sasou said with a sneer: "Don't you understand the Lonely Cliff City either?"

  "I never said this was heaven." Mo Xingke responded gloomily: "Otherwise, why would I run to another place?"

  "Of course, for you, as long as there's Shilna, nowhere is paradise." Sasori laughed loudly.

  The heavy atmosphere slightly alleviated, a few people whispered and laughed, I don't know how long it took, Xilena walked into the tavern with her head down, staring blankly at Mo Sheng: "What... what should we do? The merchant team refused to terminate the contract, I even mortgaged our house to the mercenary guild, what should we do?"

  "It's your house, not our house." Mo Xinkai said coldly: "Fifteen carts of weapons and armor, just mortgaging one house is enough? You've also mortgaged other things, haven't you?"

  "You..." Hearing the first part, Xilena was extremely angry, but after hearing the second part, she became disheartened: "That... Rod of Flame, I pawned it to the Mercenary Guild."

  "Heh... " Mo Xinko let out a dry laugh and turned his head to one side.

  "What time does it depart according to the contract?" Han Jin suddenly asked.

  Tomorrow.

  "We'll help you." Han Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have a way to get the goods over there."

  "Really?" Hillena exclaimed in surprise and delight.

  Xian Ni Er and others were stunned, this matter can't be solved by any clever plan. The three lords are killing each other, countless armies are moving and fighting on the vast plains, merchant teams have fallen into the net in the past, let alone Shengguan City is downwind, surrounded by Hei Ya Cheng and Di Pu City's troops everywhere, there is no way to bypass it.

  "Of course it's true, you go back and prepare first." Han Jin smiled: "Wait until tonight, we'll go find you together."

  "Alright then." Xilena's emotions changed quickly, and she was also easy to believe in people. She glared at Mo Xinkou with a showy expression, and then left the hotel with a pleased smile.

  "Are you kidding me?" Mo Xinko exclaimed.

  "Don't worry." Han Jin said in a low voice: "Xian Ni Er, go outside and take a look to see if anyone is secretly monitoring us. Sasou, you also use your clairvoyant eyes to find out."
