After the meal, Su Xiao sat on a table and chair on the street, looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, and next to her was Bu Bu Wang, who still had butter on the corner of his mouth.
Facts have proved that 'reasoning' with these idiots obviously won't work, and slippers will have the quickest results.
When Su Xiao was thinking about where to hang out next, the phone in Black Mary's arms rang.
"Hey, hello, no, let me ask."
Black Mary rejected the opponent several times in a row.
"Mr. Bai Ye, this is Brandt, the tenth old man. He wants to invite us over."
Black Mary covered the phone with her hand and was possessed. From Su Xiao's angle, she could see a large area of fair skin in her neckline.
"What's up?"
"Ten old men have hired a group of killers at a high price. They want you to go over and meet these killers. I feel like they want you to go shock the scene. Do you want to refuse?"
"Promise them."
"yes."
Black Mary said a few words and hung up the phone.
"A little earlier than expected..."
"What?"
Black Mary looked at Su Xiao doubtfully.
"nothing."
The two drove to the new auction venue, which was not far from the original auction venue, three blocks away.
The front of the new auction house was filled with flowers of various colors, some of which were tied into a circle and placed at the door. There were several panic-looking gang members on the side.
When the two of them drove there, Su Xiao was stunned when she saw those 'wreaths'. The first thought in her mind was: Who is dead?
"Who died?"
"ha?"
Black Mary was a little confused, and then said: "Does it smell of blood? As expected of Mr. Bai Ye, I will ask them to patrol the surroundings immediately."
Black Mary made a gesture to get off the car.
"etc."
Su Xiao called to Black Mary and coughed slightly in embarrassment. Those 'wreaths' should be a celebration method in the Hunter World, similar to the celebration of a store opening.
Su Xiao felt awkward no matter how much she thought about giving out wreaths when the store opened.
"Your etiquette is so special."
Su Xiao got out of the car, leaving behind a surprised Black Mary.
It can be seen from these wreaths that the new auction is not going smoothly. The auction even needs celebrations to attract customers. Previous auctions did not need these at all, customers would come to the door on their own.
Black Mary saw Su Xiao's doubts and began to describe what happened this morning.
After the auction house was shut down once, most of the guests became resistant to the Youkesin auction, and no one was willing to risk their lives to participate in an auction.
When the auction opened in the morning, the place was packed with people. Not to mention the guests who came to watch the excitement, all the merchants and residents who had opened shops within a few hundred meters of the neighborhood ran away, as if they regarded the auction venue as a plague.
This really pissed off the ten old men, but even if they were gangsters, they couldn't put a gun to the customers' heads to force them to attend the auction.
For the sake of his family's face, the Ten Old Man had no choice but to hold an unnecessary opening ceremony and summon gang members to support him. This order frightened the gangs directly under the Ten Old Man's influence, and these people did not want to attend the auction.
.
At 8 o'clock in the morning that day, the ten old men found that there were still no people attending the auction. Even members of their own gang were pushing and hiding. The ten old men were angry and ordered that anyone who dared not come would be expelled from the gang.
It's ten o'clock in the morning, that is, now.
What happened before led to the current scene. There were wreaths in front of the auction house. Next to the wreaths were some gang members with nervous expressions and bulging waistlines.
After listening to Black Mary's description, Su Xiao roughly understood the situation.
"In other words, there are no other powerful people in the auction house except gang members?"
"Well, no one dares to participate. After all, before..."
Black Mary was a little frightened. She was also present at the last auction.
"It would be best if no one attended, but since the ten old men have been in the underworld for so many years, there will definitely be people coming to support the auction when it opens in the evening."
Su Xiao didn't care whether anyone attended the auction, as long as it opened smoothly.
Entering the auction site, this building occupies a large area and is larger than the last auction site.
The auction house was full of gang members, and there was not a single outsider in sight. Su Xiao got on the elevator on the first floor, and the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.
"The hired killers have already arrived and are just waiting for your arrival."
Black Mary leads the way.
…
At this time, in a reception room on the sixth floor, a short, bald, fat man wearing small round sunglasses was holding a cigar in his mouth. He was looking at the killers in the room with a careful look.
The fat bald man's name is Jianyi. This is not his original name. It was a nickname given to him by others after he joined the gangs. Over time, they all called him that.
Ganji is the direct gang leader of the Ten Old Men's forces. It is normal for him to receive these killers. Ganji is also happy to do these things that are risk-free and can show his face.
Although his character is not very good, Qianji is a smart man. In the original work, all ten old men died, but Qianji is still alive. Of course, this has something to do with his poor strength. No one would go out of his way to kill him.
he.
"13.4...Looks like everything is here."
Jianyi fiddled with his fingers, recalling the number of hired killers in his mind. A subordinate behind him leaned over and replied: "Not all are here yet."
"Isn't there eight people in the assassination team?"
"It seems that the Nosla family will bring someone here."
Hearing about the Nosla family, Ganji was a little unhappy, and a feeling called jealousy spread in his heart.
"Tch, that guy can only rely on divination to bluff people."
Although he said so, Qianji was very envious and he also hoped to have a daughter like that.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Light Nosra and Kurapika walked into the room. Light Nosra is the patriarch of the 'Nosra Family' and the father of the divination girl Nion.
The two of them didn't speak after entering the room, they just stood aside.
"We've finally arrived this time. The commission is to get rid of the Phantom Troupe. The auction will start again tonight. They might also show up. Once found, we will kill them without mercy."
Jiji looked around at the several killers present. These killers were dressed in different styles. For gangsters, these were all masters.
In fact, this training is not an assassination, but rather a protection. I waited in the auction house for the brigade to come to me on their own initiative, but the people present were all killers after all. If I directly asked them to protect the smooth progress of the auction, it would inevitably be somewhat refuting these killers.
face.
"As a team, we all have the same goal. If that's the case, how about we first decide on the code names for each contact?"
A killer spoke. This killer had an average appearance and was the type who would never be noticed among the crowd.
"How about calling me by color? I'm blue."
A killer in a vest spoke.
"I'm red."
"black."
When several killers said their colors, the two killers who had been standing at the scene spoke.
"It's like child's play."
An old man with white hair and a slender white mustache spoke. The old man had his hands behind his back and a long strip of cloth hanging on his chest with the words 'career in active service' written on it.
