anwhile, after leaving the warehouse, Lodi imdiately took another small path, not heading back the way he ca.
From the very beginning when the Iron Wolf rcenary Group sent a newcor to liaise with him, he had already sensed sothing was wrong. This feeling of unease was particularly strong inside the warehouse while he was checking the health condition of Andre and Jennie.
Therefore, he abandoned his previous air of superiority and instead adopted an equal footing to appease the rookie rcenary, then found an opportunity to slip away.
No, he had to go to the Iron Wolf rcenary Group headquarters to see what they were really up to.
After winding through several streets, Lodi arrived at the street where the Iron Wolf rcenary Group was located.
And at this mont, the building representing the stationed base of the Iron Wolf rcenary Group now had City Defense Force personnel standing guard at the entrance.
“Damn it, indeed, that brat was lying to !” Lodi said this, a trace of anger in his tone.
But following that, ca fear.
The task he gave the Iron Wolf rcenary Group was rely to kidnap Litte’s adoptive parents. For sothing like this, was it necessary for the City Defense Force to wipe out the entire Iron Wolf rcenary Group?
Even if the Stranick family behind Litte had an extrely close relationship with the royal family, it should be impossible to mobilize the City Defense Force directly.
“Damn it!” Lodi cursed angrily again. “I told them long ago to be careful. Although Litte is fine, Orson behind him is big trouble, but they didn’t listen. Now look, they got caught.”
“If they had listened to and sent Mudrick directly, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.”
Lodi waited here for a few more minutes, still not seeing any sign of Mudrick.
Let alone Mudrick, he couldn’t even see a single living mber of the Iron Wolf rcenary Group.
Mudrick probably received the news and took his brothers to seek refuge outside the city long ago.
Lodi thought this.
However, what he didn’t know was that Mudrick hadn’t gone outside the city to seek refuge at all. He was now a corpse, being studied by experts employed by the royal family.
Then, just as he was about to turn around and report back to his master, he froze.
Standing behind him was none other than the assassin he had greeted just monts ago. And beside the assassin, the young man with black hair, purple eyes, a tall and straight posture, and a handso face, was Orson—the very person his master had ordered him to eliminate by any ans necessary.
“Yo, boss, here’s the person I brought you.” The assassin said this, pointing at Orson beside him. “I helped you capture Orson.”
Lodi glanced at the assassin, then at Orson.
Do you think I’m an idiot? he thought. Then he imdiately turned around and ran without looking back.
However, he hadn’t run far before the assassin overtook him with speed, standing before him.
“Boss, don’t be hasty,” the assassin said with a smile. “Didn’t I properly complete the task you assigned ? Look, I even brought the person over for you. Shouldn’t you thank properly?”
“Pah! You traitor!” Lodi spat, then imdiately turned again, but before he could take a step, he stopped once more.
Orson was standing five ters behind him, just quietly watching him.
Knowing he couldn’t escape, Lodi could only turn back to face the assassin, revealing a fierce expression.
“If you still want to survive in this line of work, let go! Otherwise, once word gets out that you betrayed your employer, the entire industry will scorn you!”
“Don’t say that,” the assassin smiled. “Speaking of betrayal, aren’t you the best at it?”
“??!” Lodi’s eyes widened. “You, don’t talk nonsense!”
How did this assassin know he had betrayed his master?
Lodi had been handling this kind of dirty work for his master for five years. This ti, to deal with Orson, his master had specifically given him a large sum of money, telling him to act according to the situation.
In his view, with such a large sum, if he had the connections, he could even hire a Tier 8 expert to deal with Orson.
But he felt that would be like using a sledgehamr to crack a nut. After all, Orson was only Tier 6. Caught off guard, a Tier 7 expert was more than enough to kill him.
And if Orson hid in the academy, there was no need to worry; the people around him were easier targets than Orson himself.
Furthermore, he had always considered himself diligent and responsible towards his family. He thought this sum should be a reward from his master. Therefore, he downgraded the plan and chose to hire a Tier 7 assassin.
Although Tier 8 experts were indeed difficult to hire, there was definitely his personal selfishness mixed in.
And hiring a Tier 7 assassin wasn’t all. To skim off more money, he deliberately bypassed the interdiary, obtained the assassin’s contact information through other channels, and then issued the task to the assassin.
This wasn’t the first ti he had done sothing like this.
In the past, for matters he deed “not a big deal,” he would always choose to skip the interdiary and issue the commission directly in his personal na.
And indeed, it had never gone wrong before.
He never expected that this ti, the Iron Wolf rcenary Group would ss up, directly exposing all his information.
Seeing Lodi’s reaction, the assassin beca even more convinced of his own thoughts.
Indeed, this piece of work just wanted to play both sides and screw him over.
As for the thod of playing both sides, he could figure it out with his ass.
First, his master gave him a sum of money to hire him to kill Orson.
Then he would find Orson, reveal the information about the assassination attempt, allowing Orson to be prepared in advance.
Afterwards, as long as he died, the final paynt wouldn’t need to be paid, and he could still receive a large sum from Orson.
What a money-grubbing old fox!
Thinking this, the assassin’s goodwill towards Lodi instantly dropped to freezing point.
Previously, he still held so sentint from their past cooperation, but now the two were completely on opposing sides.
If Orson hadn’t said this person was still useful, he would have already killed Lodi.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lodi to be quite clever, not going back directly, but specifically coming here to check the situation.” Orson clapped his hands as he spoke, seemingly praising Lodi.
“Hmph.” Lodi snorted coldly.
He certainly knew Orson was mocking him, but as a trapped animal, there wasn’t much he could do right now.
“Alright, tell everything you know.” Orson extended his hand towards Lodi frankly. “It’s okay, don’t feel burdened. The person behind you will understand the decision you make, because only by doing so can you return to his side and continue working for him, right?”
“What if I say no?” Lodi narrowed his eyes at Orson.
“Well then, how about we play a ga? I guess, you confirm, how about that?” Orson looked at Lodi and smiled.
Lodi didn’t speak.
“Let guess the identity first.”
Orson said this, deliberately pondering for a long ti, then spoke:
“It’s a Duke, right?”
