puff!
While Du Dian was dodging, a sharp dagger jumped out from under the seat and smashed the board under the carriage.
The arm holding the dagger was extremely slender, and it was a woman. After missing a hit, she quickly shrank back.
Du Dian's eyes flickered with killing intent, and he quickly jumped out of the carriage.
"Uh—" A painful groan suddenly sounded in front of the carriage. In the darkness, a slender figure in black gelatinous armor stretched out his hand to cover the driver's mouth, and the dagger quickly slashed across his throat. The young coachman, with his eyes wide open, didn't let out a scream, and fell down limply.
The pulling horse was frightened and ran forward desperately.
In the night, in the cold wind, on the long street.
Du Dian and the female killer faced each other quietly.
"Don't be nervous." Suddenly, the female killer raised her hand and said in a pleasant voice, "Do you still remember me?" While speaking, she pulled down her mask.
When Du Dian saw her face, his heart trembled, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Greily?"
This female assassin who came to assassinate him turned out to be Greyley
"It seems that you have a good memory." Graili smiled slightly, put away the dagger, and said, "The consortium sent me to assassinate you, but I owed you a favor three years ago, so I will pay you back this time. "
Du Dian was stunned, still did not relax his body, and said: "In that case, why did you bother to kill him?"
"Him?" Greilly looked at the coachman lying on the ground in a pool of blood, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just an ordinary unlucky guy. If you don't kill him, the consortium will know that I'm merciful. Your favor is not enough." Let me offend the consortium, that's why I shot you just now, if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn't let you sense it in advance and dodge it, on this point, please believe in the hunting ability of a high-level assassin."
Du Dian fell silent, and after a while, he said: "Listen to you, people from the Mellon Consortium will investigate what happened today? Could it be that there are people from the Mellon Consortium in the Ryan family?"
"Isn't this normal?" Greilly looked at him and smiled slightly, "There is nothing money can't do. Even if you let your son kill his father, it's just more or less bargaining chips."
Du Dian's heart was slightly cold, and he said: "You let me go, how can you explain to the consortium when you go back?"
There was a smile on the corner of Graili's mouth, and said: "It's very simple, just say that your scare has sensed me, and the sneak attack failed. After all, in the consortium, you have been classified as an intermediate hunter. Treat it, the Dreaded One is a rare monster after all, what kind of ability will be produced by the second evolution and third evolution of the magic mark is currently unknown."
Hearing her words, Du Dian couldn't help recalling the monster atlas he had seen. It did describe the abilities, characteristics, habitats and other information of each monster, including the information of these rare monsters. There are brief descriptions, and this monster map The book is from the inner wall, how to evaluate the grade is the inner wall's decision.
"Thank you." Du Dian said in a low voice. He believed Grailly's words. If she really wanted to sneak attack, with the magic scar of the Black Weaver she had mastered, she would probably be able to approach her quietly to hunt. Even if the hunt failed, at this moment In a head-on fight, he is definitely no match for Graley.
"It's your luck." Greilly said with a smile: "There are only two high-level hunters in the consortium, one is me, and the other is a knight profession, who is good at frontal combat, so I was sent here, otherwise your life It’s about to be explained here.”
Du Dian stared at her, and said: "The petty favor three years ago, is it worth you to take such a big risk to let me go? What if you are blamed by the higher authorities?"
"Let them go." Graili shrugged and said it doesn't matter, "Don't think too much of these nobles, they still rely on us to make money for them, after all, we are all their dogs, since others put you When you are a dog, you still try your best to be a loyal dog, that is the saddest thing."
Du Dian took a deep look at her, and said: "I have written down the favor this time, and if there is a chance in the future, I will return it to you."
"No need." Graley waved her hand and said, "It's just offsetting it. I keep what I say, and I guess you won't have any future. If they send me to kill you this time, they will probably use other methods to kill you." Means, you and the nobles behind you will be in disaster." Then, he turned and walked down the street, saying: "There will be no future." After speaking, the figure disappeared into the night and left quickly.
Du Dian watched her leaving back, silent for a long time, and then slowly walked in the direction of the carriage, his cold heart was full of killing intent, he expected that the Mellon consortium would come to retaliate, but he didn't expect the revenge to be so fast , so ruthless, directly hire senior hunters to assassinate!
You must know that high-level hunters are definitely the strongest force in the outer wall area, second only to the punishers of the court!
If high-level hunters were used to assassinate nobles, most of them would be tracked down by the disciplinary officers of the court and killed, but just killing a hunter would change the situation completely, and it would be easy to cover up.
Especially for small nobles with no background like the Ryan family, after killing Du Dian, and then exerting a little pressure, the Ryan family dare not have any rebound, let alone mention Du Dian's appeal.
"Sending Graili to assassinate failed, and I probably won't start with assassination in the future, but we still have to be careful." Du Dian walked alone in the dark night and cold wind, but his thoughts became clearer and clearer, secretly said: "Direct assassination is not enough, most likely We will attack and crush the Ryan family through various industries and channels of the consortium, as well as other affiliated forces, wealthy businessmen."
"Money must be raised as soon as possible!"
The chill in Du Dian's eyes is getting stronger and stronger. If he is also a high-level hunter, it will be a thorn in the throat for the Mellon Consortium!
In the final analysis, strategy is an aid after all, and strength is the foundation!
Before returning to Ryan Castle, Du Dian tore his clothes and pretended to be a fierce battle.
Although Greilie came to repay the favor, her character was arrogant, and she didn't mention this to him, but he didn't know that if he went back intact, Greilley's previous assassination in disguise would be in vain.
When Du Dian returned to Lane Castle in a panic, although Flynn and his children were all asleep, they were still awakened.
Seeing Du Dian's distressed appearance, Fulin's face became extremely ugly. The first time he took Du Dian back to his study, he strictly ordered his servants and his children not to spread what they saw today.
"Did the Mellon Foundation do it?" In the study, Flynn asked hastily, "Is the injury serious?"
After Du Dian entered the room, the weak expression on his face calmed down, and he said calmly: "This time it is Graili who came to assassinate."
"Greyly?!" Fuli's pupils shrank, and he lost his voice: "It's her?"
Du Dian nodded and said: "But don't worry, she owes me a favor. She didn't really do it this time. However, this incident has sounded the alarm for us. Now I need you to use all the resources of your family, at all costs. Cooperate with me at the price."
