Chapter 29 Just ask
Everyone only saw him raising his hand the last moment, and the next moment his figure disappeared instantly. The snow-white and bright sword blade mixed with the sound of breaking through the air flashed instantly, stabbing directly at Orland's right hand.
What a fast speed!
Faced with Rhodes' sudden attack, Orland was shocked. Although he had been mentally prepared before, what he saw and what he actually experienced was completely different. He only felt a flash in front of him, and then he saw that Rhodes' sword blade had stabbed into his right hand.
Faced with the attack, Orland had to choose to retreat and was forced to leave Helen. At this time, he no longer had any expectations for completing the task. The gap between the strength of the two sides was too big, and now the only way to choose to escape was to choose to escape. Thinking of this, Orland no longer hesitated. Facing Rhode's attack, he rolled back, then jumped up suddenly and rushed towards the bushes beside him.
But Rhode obviously did not intend to make him happy.
Rhode, who stabbed the sky with a sword, did not choose to retreat. Instead, looking at the figure that was leaving quickly, Rhode's mouth slightly raised, and a faint smile flashed across his face. Then, the long sword stabbed in his hand slightly stopped and moved forward again.
A long-awaited sparkling beam burst out from the sword, circling and splitting, whizzing forward, as if it was already ready to shoot towards Orland not far away.
Rhode's sword was obviously a bit strange, because the Breaking Blade did not shoot directly at the figure not far away as others thought, but instead tilted upwards, which seemed to be a mistake. This idea was not only Ben, who was standing in the distance, but even Lijie and Mess, who poked his head out of the carriage, held the same idea.
But the next moment, they opened their eyes wide in surprise.
Because at this moment, Orland, who was originally running back, suddenly jumped up and took the initiative to attack Rhode.
In fact, while jumping, Orland already realized something was wrong. This was also the habitual action of the thieves. When they retreated, they instinctively had to dodge some movements to avoid attacking the pursuers behind them. The reason why Orland jumped up was to avoid Rhode's attack. But he did not expect Rhode to predict his actions in advance. Not only did he not dodge, he put himself on the edge of the knife!
At this moment, Orland was shocked. He wanted to change his position, but it was too late.
With Orland's "selfless" cooperation, the Blade of Broken Blade hit Orland's right shoulder and back heart impartially. The poor thief had no time to let out a scream and flew straight out and knocked himself into the bushes.
It was not until then that Rhode put away his sword and then slowly walked towards Orland.
"Woo…ah…ah…”
Lying in the bushes, enduring the pain from his shoulders and back, Orland gritted his teeth and heard footsteps, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but before he could stand up, the white blade penetrated his right hand like lightning.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Orland's heart-wrenching scream made everyone feel tight, but Rhodes still looked calm, as if this was nothing at all. This also made everyone's evaluation of Rhodes new. It was obvious that it was absolutely abnormal for this young man to remain calm when facing such a scene.
However, Rhode doesn't think so. He did this not because he deliberately started viciously, but just a purely habit in the game. After all, in the game, players' despicable and shameless sneak attacks are more professional and vicious, and these people in the game are not afraid of injury and pain. So the only way to keep these guys to avoid them from escaping or going offline is to keep the other party in combat at all times. And Rhode's sword actually just continued his habits in online games. Seeing that the other party was about to run, he instinctively stabbed the long sword in his hand as soon as possible, in order to avoid the other party "forced downline."
However, after the sword took action and heard Orland's scream, Rhode realized that this was reality, not a game—but it didn't matter.
Throwing the boring thoughts in his mind aside, Rhodes came to the man in black, and then he reached out to hold the hilt of the sword and slowly pulled it up.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Orland was so painful that he almost rolled his eyes. His right hand began to twitch involuntarily because he could not bear the pain of surpassing the limit. Even the empty left hand could no longer stop Rhode, and could only instinctively hammer the ground. This scene was cold in the eyes of others. They had never seen such a cruel scene before. Although the other party was an enemy to attack him, it was really scary to see him ending up like this.
Lijie stood in the distance, staring quietly at Rhode, whose face was still unchanged, with a trace of complex emotions flashing in her eyes. At this moment, she recalled what Rhode said to herself in the hotel before.
"I didn't say that in order to repay your life-saving grace. Lijie, I have brought you out. In this regard, we no longer owe anything. You don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything. I can tell you that the purpose of doing this is not to repay your kindness. I have my purpose, so I need strength, and that's why I made this proposal. I can assure you that in less than two years, I will develop it into a powerful mercenary guild, but I also want to remind you that I'm very likely
I will take some measures that you cannot accept. So, I hope you can think clearly, Lijie. If you are willing to accept my proposal, then you must first prepare for it. I will not allow anyone to hinder me, nor will I allow anyone to hinder me. I have my reasons, but you don’t need to know now... I can understand your mood, so I will not force you to agree, but I must remind you of the consequences after the promise - it is very likely to be beyond what you can bear."
At that time, Lijie didn't know Rhode's words very well, but she admitted that she was indeed shocked by Rhode's speech, but on the other hand, the girl also felt a little relieved deep in her heart. After all, Rhode must have said in the face that she did have some intentions. Although it sounds a bit unacceptable, it is indeed more convincing than the other party's unconditional help. But she still didn't understand what a mercenary group that was about to be disbanded was attracted by Rhode, but since Rhode was unwilling to explain, she had no way to continue asking.
Now, after seeing this scene, Lijie's heart began to feel a little relaxed. He attacked Helen before, not to mention that Ben and others did not expect it, even Lijie herself did not expect it. After that, she was able to seize the time to cast the guardian shield on Helen, which was purely the result of a flash of inspiration in Lijie's mind, not the product of tacit understanding with Rhode. And because of this battle, Lijie seemed to finally understand Rhode's meaning deep in her heart.
I thought it was very simple before. Just recruit some people and grit my teeth to take over the mission, and I could save the mercenary group. But is it really that simple? Lijie has been a mercenary for more than a year or two. She knows how cruel the world of mercenaries is. Everyone is for survival. The Moon Bow Mercenary Group was once a medium-sized mercenary group, but now it has become like this. She has watched with her own eyes how the mercenary group like her family decline.
Can you do it yourself? Rebuild the mercenary group?
Lijie asked herself that she could not do it. Even the original leader Carter, although it was very easy to get along with on weekdays, she would show her cold and firm side from time to time. But Lijie felt that this was something she could not do. She did not have the ability and was unwilling to do so.
Thinking of this, Lijie couldn't help but turn her eyes to Rhodes.
He didn't tell himself what he wanted, but his expression was so firm, without a trace of confusion or doubt.
So what about herself? How should she do it for her dream and for her own goals?
Thinking of this, the girl bit her lower lip tightly and held her hands.
Just as Lijie decided on her future, Rhode had already leisurely pulled out his sword. He glanced at the blood on the sword's body, threw it away casually, and then looked at the man in black who was rolling in pain under his feet.
"Although I think you should understand what I want to ask, in order to avoid you being confused, I'd better ask more, who are you and what do you want to do?"
“Woo……………………………………”
Orland curled up, and the pain of being pierced with his right hand made him almost unable to sort out a complete sentence. He raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him. He could not understand why he was so unlucky and provoked such a person.
“I…I…I…I am……………”
The fear of the enemy and the physical pain had already worn away Orland's will. Now he had almost no ability to resist and could only answer Rhode's question in a low voice. However, before he finished speaking, the huge pain from the back of his right hand made him gasp again. However, in Rhode's eyes, there seemed to be a new explanation.
"You don't want to say it? Then forget it, I'm not very interested anyway."
"I, I am the subordinate of Vice President Clater!!"
Hearing Rhode's words, Orland was so scared that he even forgot the wound on the back of his hand. He hurriedly shouted, "If he would rather die than surrender, he would still accept it. If he was killed by the other party because he didn't breathe a word, he would have died unjustly... He didn't want to go to the world to report so early.
"Vice President Clater?"
Hearing this name, Rhode's sword stopped slightly.
“Businessmen’s Association?”
“Yes, yes.”
"What is your purpose?"
"Tie, kidnap Miss Helen. I only know this..."
Xinghen's white and sharp sword blade was pressed against Orland's face. The cold touch made him swallow subconsciously. He had now completely lost his inch and only hoped that this young man could show mercy. At this moment, he saw Rhode nodding and said, "I understand."
Then, Orland only felt a chill on his neck, and with the invasion of cold air, darkness completely enveloped his world.
After retracting the sword, Rhode turned around and returned to the side of the carriage. At this time, the eyes of everyone looking at him were completely different from before. Helen sat aside with the help of the servant, looking at Rhode with a complicated expression. Ben coughed, and then walked forward with a tough bullet.
"This...thank you for your help, sir."
Although Rhodes' behavior has nothing to do with "support", the result is good after all.
"You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands."
Rhode nodded slightly and didn't say anything more. Instead, Ben hesitated a little and then asked after a while.
"Who is the other party?"
"They said they were sent by Vice President Clater to kidnap Miss Helen."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Ben was shocked. As the chief guard of a business family, he still knew these things very well.
"You mean these people were sent by the Merchant Association?"
"I don't care if he said that."
Rhode waved his hand and then turned around.
"Anyway, I'm just asking casually."
