After An Nuo left, a group of senior sixth-level mercenaries from the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group gathered in the conference room and looked at Steinbeck.
"Ah, it's been more than ten years. Before we knew it, we are already this age."
Steinbeck suddenly sat down on the chair with a bit of fatigue, and said to everyone: "There is something I should tell you all now. I am actually a descendant of the Duke of Ingram's family in the Roland Empire..."
"For the sake of our brothers' future lives, let's follow Annuo's instructions and investigate the murder of the adventurer. Don't let Annuo use this as a handle to label all the brothers in the mercenary group as spies. I am sorry for this matter."
The rank six mercenaries looked at each other, their eyes filled with reluctance, "Captain, we know what to do!"
…
The Poison Gold Mercenary Group’s base is far away from the Purple Gold Flower.
When Annuo arrived, his team leader and an old man were already standing at the door to greet him.
It was obvious that when An Nuo walked out of the Adventurer's Guild and headed for the Purple Gold Flower Mercenary Group, many forces sent people to follow An Nuo.
After seeing An Nuo leaving Zijinhua, the spies of the Poison Gold Mercenary Group rushed over here and immediately guessed that An Nuo was looking for the Poison Gold Mercenary Group. One of the spies went back and informed the leader in advance.
The leader of Du Jin is a thin man with green hair, only at level five.
However, the real boss in the group is the old man next to him, who is also the father of the thin man.
Level 35 thief, Lucas.
When it comes to meeting Anno, Lucas must be the one doing it himself.
His son just stood on the left side.
Standing on Lucas' right was a woman whom Anno was somewhat familiar with.
After thinking for a while, Annuo remembered that this thief named Raya once participated in the [World's No. 1 Professional Competition] and won the top ten in the fourth-level group.
In all competitions, all kinds of expensive poisons are used to make the opponent lose their fighting power, which is very tycoon-like.
However, in the final, Lucas was worried that his precious granddaughter would get injured while fighting the undead, so he sent someone to bring Raya back to the capital.
So Raya had no result in the final.
"President An Nuo, welcome to the Poison Gold Mercenary Group."
Lucas greeted Anno with a standard smile.
Although Lucas had seen Anno when he watched Raya's game, Lucas did not put Anno on the same level at that time.
Now, he was a little worried about An Nuo's purpose in looking for him.
After An Nuo came out of the purple gold flower, he came to him.
Lucas had no time to find out what Anno and Steinbeck talked about.
"Captain Lucas is so enthusiastic, but there are still many things to do next, so I won't go in. I'll just say what I want to say."
An Nuo didn't waste any words and directly stated that the Poison Gold Mercenary Group should hand over the mercenaries who participated in the killing of adventurers, or find out the people behind it.
The time is also three days.
Although Lucas repeatedly assured that he and his subordinates had never targeted the Adventurer's Guild, Annuo directly stated that he was very suspicious of the Poison Gold Mercenary Group.
After all, most of the members of the Poison Gold Mercenary Group are thieves.
Very good at assassination.
But at the same time, they are also very good at investigations - this is also their main business.
After watching Anno leave, Lucas walked back to the base with a gloomy face.
"Dad, are we going to do what he says?"
Lucas' son Kuras frowned and asked, "Could this be his way of forcing the mercenary group to join the Adventurer's Guild?"
"Is there any need to think about this? Of course it is certain."
Lucas rubbed his brows and said, “However, it is true that mercenaries target adventurers.
This happened years ago, when many mid-level adventurers in the guild accepted a special commission from the acting president Linda to investigate the deaths of adventurers.
Aren't the people who registered as adventurers in our mercenary group also entrusted?"
Kuras nodded and said, "That's true. It seems that this gives An Nuo an excuse."
Raya listened to the conversation between his father and grandfather, playing with the dagger in his hand and said, "Then why didn't you tell An Nuo about this just now.
Besides, why don't our mercenary group just join the guild?
It's just a name change, an adventure group and a mercenary group are pretty much the same."
"What do you know, a little girl?"
Kulas glared at Raya.
The latter snorted, got up and left.
After Raya left, Lucas sighed and said, "Although we found some intelligence at the beginning, it is related to the secret fight between Simmons and Tester, so we can't continue to follow up.
But looking at Annuo's current momentum, if we don't take action, he might really attack us.
Once we become adventurers, we will be subject to the guild to a certain extent.
Moreover, I am worried that even if we provide information, Annuo will not let us go."
Knowing something and not reporting it can also be used as a reason to take action.
Kuras' eyes flickered, and he asked, "Should we... ask the people above for help?"
Lucas thought for a while, nodded and said, "It should be in time. Go find the special envoy and ask for instructions now."
"OK!"
After saying this, Kuras immediately left the base.
…
Next.
Anno also went to look for Baishou, Ghost Hand, Draper, Valon, Black Python, Explosive Flame, and Red Turban. In addition to the two he had visited before, except for the Miracle Flower which had become part of the adventure team, all the top ten had been visited by Anno.
And because Annuo did not hide anything, everyone who was paying attention to this matter now knew that Annuo was now investigating the case of the adventurer who died years ago.
Most people didn't know this before, including adventurers.
Now that the news has spread, many people think that since Annuo has already started to act, he must have confirmed that the person who took action is a mercenary.
His opinion of the mercenaries further declined.
The adventurers' attitude towards the mercenaries turned directly into vigilance.
Whenever a mercenary walks on the road, he will find that adventurers along the way are all looking at him.
Very scary!
Oma and other team leaders, who were the instigators of the murder of adventurers, thought they had been exposed when Annuo came to their door.
Although I finally realized that I was worrying too much.
But the conditions Anno mentioned also made them very uneasy.
Not surprisingly, Anno and all the mercenary groups said the same thing.
In other words, those who were not involved are now investigating the matter.
Forget about the other mercenary groups, but the Poison Gold Mercenary Group might really be able to find out something.
So, just one day passed, and several mercenary group leaders came to Simmons' manor.
Vic of the Beasts had a sad face and cried to Simmons who was eating and drinking: "Your Highness, please make the decision for us!"
"Now An Nuo is threatening all the mercenary groups to investigate this matter. We might be found out. According to An Nuo's character, he will definitely take revenge on us."
Omar of Delepo was also frightened by Anno's swift and decisive actions, and his reattached broken arm began to hurt again.
"Your Highness, we are dead, but after we die, Your Highness will have no one to run errands for you! There is a problem. There is not even a dog to serve you."
In order to survive, Tyrone of the Ghost Hand directly expressed his loyalty.
Although Simmons was also involved in this matter.
But no matter how powerful Anno is, he cannot hurt Simmons, the prince of the kingdom.
But if Simmons didn't protect them, Vick and others would most likely die in three days.
After hearing what Tailun said, several team leaders also reacted.
For the sake of their own safety, they all expressed their loyalty to Simmons and from now on, they regarded Simmons as their master.
Simmons, who had been eating slowly, finally turned around and looked at the few people with a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about? I was the one who instructed you to do this. Would I abandon you? Stop kneeling. An Nuo can't touch you while I am here."
Simmons spat out a bone and said disdainfully, "He's just a newly promoted seventh-rank cultivator. Look at what he's capable of. Do you really think the seventh-rank cultivator behind me is just a decoration?"
