Chapter 144: Dazed (2)
Putting aside the crying and this matter, Ye Lang currently has to face the most important individual problem - the employer of all the intersecting tasks, when will he finally arrive.
But this question seemed not to need thinking for too long, because soon someone came over and said that the employer had arrived, and also wanted to invite everyone to have a meal together.
Then Ye Lang followed these mercenaries to the employer's mansion, which was like a mountain villa, with no village in front and no store behind. When Ye Lang arrived, he had already said one sentence.
"This place is remote enough, how can you live here, don't you want to do something that can't be seen?"
"Frank! Shut up, once we get in, don't say another word to me!!" Upon hearing Ye Lang's words, the mercenary group members looked embarrassed and also sent him a warning.
"Why, I didn't say anything wrong" Ye Lang defended himself, and indeed he hadn't said anything wrong, only that
"You're not wrong, but shouldn't you be saying it in a more subtle way?"
"I don't understand!" Ye Lang shook his head bluntly.
"In short, even if you were beaten to death, you still can't say a word!"
"Why can't it be you who killed me?" Ye Lang asked.
"Alright, even if we all die, you still can't speak, is that okay?!"
"Uh-huh!" Ye Lang nodded.
After entering the mountain villa, Ye Lang really didn't speak again, as if everyone was dead.
As Ye Lang was an unimportant person, after entering the mountain villa, he ate a prepared banquet in the living room with some other unimportant mercenaries.
The soldiers are eating meat in big chunks, drinking wine in large bowls, and enjoying themselves immensely!
The leader of the mercenary group and some important figures took the box inside for handover with the client.
At first, the employer was in a somewhat dark place and couldn't be seen clearly by the mercenaries. Later, he walked out and entered their line of sight.
However, the mercenaries found that this employer was wearing a black mask covering the upper half of his face and a black cloak with what seemed to be a number thirteen mark on it.
This looks a bit strange and makes people suspicious!
What's suspicious is not just this, but also another strange thing. If this is the employer's territory, why did they wait for several days before letting them come here? Why couldn't they have come in those previous few days?
Just as Ye Lang said, are you going to do something shady? If it were Ye Lang here and he wasn't confused, he would have noticed that something was off. The employer's attitude seemed to not care about the mercenaries' opinions.
Either he's not afraid of being known, or it doesn't matter if the mercenaries know.
"Have you seen what's inside?" The employer didn't care about anything else and only asked this one question.
"Boss, you don't believe us, we are disciplined mercenaries and won't do such a thing." The mercenaries said somewhat discontentedly.
"Alright, I trust you, put the things on the table. On it is your reward for this time!" The employer pointed to the table in the room and said to those mercenaries.
The mercenaries didn't suspect a thing. They put down their stuff and opened the pouch of money on the table "Cha-ching!"
The money bag burst open in an instant, spewing out a large amount of powder. In that same moment, the powder entered the mouths and noses of those mercenaries, even if they held their breath, it was too late.

Those mercenaries immediately bled from seven orifices and fell to the ground after inhaling the powder, while some pointed at the employer with a sense of resentment.
"Don't blame me, blame yourselves for being too stupid. You can't even see through such a simple setup. A small mercenary is just a small mercenary!" The employer said coldly.
As the employer said, if this group of mercenaries were more experienced and cunning, they wouldn't have died. This incident is telling them from many aspects that something was wrong with it.
These mercenaries are a collection of the most unsavory ones, and that's exactly what their employer is counting on - they're easy to handle and won't arouse anyone else's suspicion.
Such a small and unrefined mercenary group, whatever they are escorting must be something very unimportant. If it were something important, no one would entrust it to them.
"I know why I didn't give you the sealed package, it's because even if I told you, it wouldn't matter to you, you're all going to be dead anyway. And even if I showed it to you, you still wouldn't understand what this is!" The employer's mouth curled up at the corner, revealing a confident smile.
This is also why he can be so at ease, because he believes that in this world, apart from himself, no one else will understand the things inside.
"Baby, you're finally back! It's all because of that Gao Fei, who actually lost his own kingdom to Ye family's 13th young master, ruining my plans and forcing me to change them, I couldn't continue over there!!" The employer stroked the things in the box as if they were the most precious things in the world.
From his words, it can be known that he originally wanted to take advantage of the specialness of Tianjiu City to do some things, but because Ye Lang won Tianjiu City and the large-scale entry of the Ye family, his plan was suddenly shelved, and he had to transport the unfinished things out and find a place to continue.
He savored it slowly, not worried about the mercenaries outside, because he had already put a lethal poison in the food. He believed that by the time he came out, everyone outside would be dead.
The dead, what's there to be afraid of? Don't even need to care how long they've been waiting outside, because they're dead!!
He plans to enjoy it thoroughly and then leave, burning down the mountain villa so as not to leave any traces!
No one will notice what's going on here. This mountain villa was originally in a remote location, with no village in front and no shops behind, even if it were to burn down, no one would know.
But these mercenaries, this group of unremarkable mercenaries, if they were to die somewhere, who would even care?
Mercenaries are originally a high-risk profession. They all have an awareness that they may die at any time and leave this world at any time.
Even they themselves have such an idea, let alone others, and even more won't care about their lives or deaths!!
And without suspecting that the mercenaries outside would discover that something was wrong with the food, because he believed in the poison he had refined, which was colorless and tasteless, and it took some time to take effect after eating. This kind of poison is the best for dealing with such situations, and it won't make those who haven't eaten yet be on guard because of its immediate effect.
This is actually the reason he's been waiting, he's waiting for the poison to take effect!!
"It's about time, let's get down to business. Baby, see you in a bit!" The employer carefully packed the things from the box into a backpack and left with it.
