"You're welcome, you're polite to me, how can I take your money, right, boss?" laughed James, who was sitting in the front row.

Yang Xiaotian knew that this was a half-truth.

The reason why James made a move, on the one hand, was indeed because Yang Xiaotian still had a layer of employment relationship with him, after all, Yang Xiaotian made a promise that as long as they could investigate who was behind the last assassination of him, he would give them a generous reward.

So James's shot is likely to have this factor, and on the other hand, I'm afraid there may be personal feelings in it. Although James is a mercenary, he still has a good relationship with Yang Xiaotian after all.

The reason why they are wine friends rather than friends is because at the wine table, the two can still chat. But in personal life, whether it is James or Yang Xiaotian, they will not take the initiative to ask each other about their behind-the-scenes lives.

Therefore, compared to the title of friend, which requires purer emotions to become, the title of drinking friend is obviously more suitable for the relationship between the two of them.

An employer is easy to find, and a drinking friend is also easy to find. But a drinking buddy who can be regarded as one's employer is not so easy to find.

So James chose to shoot.

"By the way, Jeffes, why are you here?" Yang Xiaotian asked the question he was most concerned about.

And Bi Ersi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, heard Yang Xiaotian's question, and her eyes quietly stared at James at the same time. Whenever there is the slightest suspicion in James's speech, she will be aware of it.

"This ......" James squinted and glanced at Biersi, and at the same time, his eyes met Yang Xiaotian through the rearview mirror. Yang Xiaotian knew that he was asking if Bi Ersi was credible. Obviously, what he is going to say next is likely to have something to do with his net worth. If Belle is not reliable, it is better to wait until there is a place where she can talk, and then discuss it.

"Bel's ...... It's my sister. When she heard Yang Xiaotian say her name, Bi'ersi's body couldn't help but stiffen a little. Before today, Belle didn't have any strong emotions.

Her feelings for Yang Xiaotian are more because of Wang Jingyun's appearance, which gives her a sense of crisis in her heart. After that, Wang Jingyun became Yang Xiaotian's woman, although it was not a matter of course, but Yang Xiaotian had already admitted that Wang Jingyun was his woman.

And she was the first to have more intersections with Yang Xiaotian, but she has been unable to get Yang Xiaotian's approval. At this time, when she heard Yang Xiaotian say her name, Bi Ersi's heart couldn't help but have a little expectation.

After all, today, the two have also experienced life and death hanging by a thread. With this relationship, Bi Ersi thought that in front of James, Yang Xiaotian would take care of her face.

But what I didn't expect was that Yang Xiaotian still didn't recognize her after all.

Bi Ersi's face couldn't help but sink, and when her eyes collided with Yang Xiaotian's line of sight through the rearview mirror, the resentful expression in Bi Ersi's eyes made Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but hurriedly lower her head.

"That's good. James didn't care about the eye contact between Yang Xiaotian and Bi Ersi. "Here's the thing. ”

James cleared his throat and told what had happened.

In the Middle East, mercenaries are everywhere. Originally, the mercenaries were all guerrillas, and although their combat effectiveness was good, they could not be condensed together.

But as time goes by, many people gradually realize that there are some tasks that cannot be completed by one person. If you go to find someone temporarily, then no one can guarantee the character of these people who have been found. If you wait until you complete the task and eat yourself, then it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

Therefore, gradually some people have consciously begun to get acquainted with and encircle some mercenaries who are more familiar with themselves, as a way to improve their ability to accept big tasks.

Over time, the number of groups formed by the mercenaries increased. Because not everyone's affinity is so good, gradually, the mercenaries, like gangs, treat the entire Middle East as a big piece of cake and begin to divide this piece of the cake.

Where there are people, there will be entanglement of interests, and the entanglement of interests will lead to contradictions. And when the contradiction intensifies to a certain extent, the conflict will occur. When a conflict develops to the point where words can no longer be mediated, verbal conflict becomes a conflict of force.

Gradually, small mercenary groups were annexed or wiped out, while several large mercenary groups gradually took shape.

And one of them is the mercenary group formed by Cricks's father.

Don't look at Cricks's thin and weak, he looks like a gust of wind can blow him away, but his father is an excellent member of the famous Soviet special forces.

It's just that as the internal contradictions in the former Soviet Union became more and more intensified, the expenses allocated by the state to the special forces became less and less. After that, things were very simple, with the collapse of the former Soviet Union, the mercenaries under the jurisdiction of the former Soviet Union also fell into a state of disintegration.

Some of them chose to join the newly formed special forces of their home country, while others wanted to live a free life and did not want to continue to live in such a restrictive environment.

So they came to the Middle East, to one of the more turbulent places in the world.

The more turbulent the place, the easier it is to separate into the cake. Troubled times create heroes, this saying is not groundless.

Cricks's father came to the Middle East more than twenty years ago and joined one of the modest mercenary groups. Soon, because of his outstanding skills, Cricks's father became the second-in-command in the group.

In a later mission, the boss of the group was killed by the bodyguard of the task subject, and the father of Cricks, who finally solved the task object, as the strongest one in the group, naturally became the new boss of the group.

Cricks's father is a person with a similar personality to Song Chunsheng, but he is also very similar to Song Chunsheng, he has a virtuous helper. His wife was a royal descendant of the former Tsarist Russia, and because of her background, she was eventually assigned to Cricks's father as his wife.

Although she doesn't like Cricks's father, with the birth of Cricks, her already dead heart is gradually activated.

Catherine II was her goal. Unfortunately, Cricks' father didn't put all the power in her hands, and there were no nobles among the mercenaries who could support him, so her plans had to be changed again.

Since Cricks's father was so wary of her, she simply put all her mind on cultivating Cricks. When Cricks grows up and inherits his father's position, won't his mother become the existence of the emperor?

It's just a pity that although she ** came out with an excellent Cricks and trained him to be a black-bellied, cold, mercenary leader, she ignored one point - she forgot to teach Cricks to respect herself.

So when Cricks inherited the power, she just showed a little intention to reach into it, and Cricks did not hesitate to get rid of her directly.

The agency was too clever to calculate Qingqing's life.

This sentence could not be more appropriate for Cricks's mother.

However, although she died, she did a good thing for Cricks, which was to assist his father in developing the mercenary group into one of the three major mercenary forces in the Middle East.

And the Rock Kingdom happens to be at the junction of the three major forces. Although most of the mercenaries in the territory of the Rock Kingdom are Crix's men, the other two major forces in the Rock Kingdom are not pitifully small.

In addition, under the leadership of Chuck, the Rock Kingdom has gradually moved towards the road of prosperity and strength, and the Rock Kingdom is obviously more attractive to those mercenaries.

Therefore, most of the turmoil within the Kingdom of Locke is just a chain reaction caused by the conflict of mercenaries.

And in order to find out who assassinated Yang Xiaotian, James joined Cricks's group when he was still acting alone. Of course, it must be the outermost existence, after all, the loyalty of mercenaries is really low.

For the mercenaries who can sell their lives as long as they are given enough money, their leader is more worried that if they don't receive enough tasks, this large number of soldiers under his command will definitely make trouble in the future.

At that time, the most unlucky thing is not the mercenary himself, but himself as the leader.

Therefore, although the mercenary group has never stopped accepting people, the selection process for those who participate is still very strict.

If you don't join the people for a few years, you won't be able to get in touch with the internal tasks at all.

And this rule is also shared among the rest of the group. This can be regarded as a tightening spell for these unruly soldiers to stay in a group.

After all, the bounties for the missions that the peripheral personnel can access must be much worse than the inner ones.

Mercenaries are in it for money, and with money they can enjoy beauty and pleasure.

It is precisely because of the introduction of this policy that several major forces have gradually stabilized.

But fortunately, James is quite lucky, because this time the mission to assassinate Yang Xiaotian is a mission that needs to conceal his identity, after all, just now Chuck united the soldiers of the peacekeeping force to solve more than 3,000 mercenaries in one go. Coupled with the sporadic existence eliminated by the Rock King ** team before, the mercenaries are basically living in peace and security in the Rock Kingdom now.

Once the assassination of Yang Xiaotian fails, if his identity is exposed in the future, no one can guarantee that Chuck will not make any crazy retaliation. So there was no way, Cricks chose to use the personnel on the periphery. And this also happened to give James a chance.
