Chapter 214: Cause and Effect

"It's naturally the best. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info" Benoit smiled apologetically at Hou Dasheng and said, "It's good for you and Lisa." Forgive me, as an older brother, for having to do something. ”

Hou Dasheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said with a smile: "Actually, I almost didn't think about this matter. After all, I know who I am and what I do. It is a luxury for a mercenary to even find a woman to marry. ”

When the giant wolf heard this, his eyes dimmed. What Hou Dasheng said, isn't it true?! In the mercenary circle, except for a few who are married and join. Most of the singles joined, and it is almost impossible for both men and women to remarry.

Needless to say, male mercenaries, they like women even when they meet them. But they know who they are, and they don't want to drag others down. Maybe they'll have fun for a while, but eventually they'll choose to leave.

What's more, it's to take the money you earn and walk around New York and Manhattan like a fat dog. It's their life, and that's pretty much all they can do. Busy enjoying life, or busy dying.

"Bang Bang~!" Benoit raised his hand and slapped it twice, and an old man wearing a tuxedo who looked like a butler pushed open the door and walked in, handing the two envelopes to Benoit. Then he naturally stood behind Benoit.

Benoit smiled and handed the two envelopes to the giant wolf and Hou Dasheng respectively, and said, "Don't mind, this is probably a way I can show my gratitude to you, although I also think he is cheesy." ”

Hou Dasheng and the giant wolf took it and opened it separately, and the giant wolf looked at the number on the check and whistled: "Twelve million, a good number!" I like it! At least my brothers and I didn't work in vain. ”

Benoit smiled and said, "This is natural. ”

"This ...... Isn't it a bit too much......" Hou Dasheng looked at the numbers on the check and said. Hearing this, the giant wolf leaned over to take a look at it, and said with a smile: "Yo! Five million, that's good! ”

Benoit paused for a moment, and then said helplessly to Hou Dasheng: "Man, do you know?!" You're the first person I know of who told a client that you were giving too much money. ”

"Friend, that doesn't make you look like a mercenary." Benoit laughed and said, "Almost all the mercenaries I know love money. They don't hate too much money, they just think it's too little. If you are satisfied, you can be regarded as a kind person among the mercenaries. Like your regimental commander. ”

The giant wolf shrugged his shoulders and did not object to this. Indeed, no matter how much a customer gives, the giant wolf never feels like he has given too much. Not to mention mercenaries, who would dislike giving themselves too much money?! It's probably just too little!

"Take it! Man, that's just a way I can show my appreciation. Benoit smiled and said, "Those promises are my real gratitude." Mr. Wolf, we're still partners, aren't we?! ”

The giant wolf looked at Benoit and smiled: "Yes, it always has been." ”

Benoit nodded, and the giant wolf and Hou Dasheng agreed. Then he immediately announced his farewell, and Benoit sent the two out of the old man's cart behind him. Hou Dasheng did not stay in the manor.

He left the manor with the wolf and hurried towards the jackal's temporary station. Now that the matter is over, the jackals naturally disperse. The place where the giant wolf and Hou Dasheng returned was the small hotel of the service station where they stayed last time.

Not because of how comfortable and luxurious it is, but because it's a service station. And there are escape facilities left by the giant wolf, and with those facilities, Hou Dasheng has already survived once.

Although now, theoretically, France is no longer in any danger to them. But who can guarantee that danger will not come out at any time?! It doesn't hurt anyone to be cautious.

After returning to the hotel, the giant wolf did not let Hou Dasheng go back to his room. Instead, he followed him to the room where the wolf himself lived. Closing the door, the giant wolf poured a glass of wine for Hou Dasheng from the small bar.

"Cook, I'm going to tell you something." The giant wolf looked at Hou Dasheng seriously and said softly: "Since the matter is over, I think it's time to tell you." ”

Hou Dasheng took the giant wolf's wine glass a little inexplicably, took a sip of whiskey with ice in the glass and said, "Boss, you just say anything directly." ”

"Hmm...... First of all, the news that Benoit did not die was in fact known to me very early. The giant wolf pondered for a moment and whispered to Hou Dasheng: "On the night he was attacked, we roughly estimated that Benoit was not dead. ”

Hou Dasheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Boss, you already know?!" ”

"No, no, no...... We were just skeptical. The giant wolf said in a deep voice: "Benoit has a stand-in, many people don't know. And we, who happen to be B-level customers of service providers, know about this. ”

saw the giant wolf looking at Hou Dasheng, and said in a deep voice: "So when there was only one body of Benoit found at the scene, I already suspected that he was not dead." It's just that at that time, I wasn't sure if it was him or his stand-in who died. ”

"It wasn't until you followed Lisa to France that we were sure he wasn't dead." saw the giant wolf smile slightly, and said, "Basically, only you and Lisa don't know this fact in the whole thing." ”

Hou Dasheng looked at the giant wolf with some confusion and said, "Why did you only tell me now?" ”

"For that promise of the House of Cilicex, that promise to you." The giant wolf was silent for a while, then sighed, "Of course, we got what we wanted. But I thought it would be better if you could get your hands on the promise of the Cialiaux family. ”

"But the Cilliauxes are not to be fooled, especially Benoit. His performance today has made it clear to me that he is fully committed to knowing that we have learned that he is alive. ”

The giant wolf smiled, "But at the same time, he also recognized your sincerity, so his personal promise to you is completely different from that of us. Although he gives very little money...... That's right! Stinky boy! Pay it back! ”

Hou Dasheng cried and took out the check that had not yet been hot in his pocket. Painfully watched the giant wolf triumphantly inspect it and stuffed it into his pocket: "Little bastard, you finally paid back!" Several times he threatened me with not paying back the money if he was going to die! ”

"Why don't you let me cover it for a while! I haven't taken that much money! Hou Dasheng cried and said, "I haven't covered the heat yet, so you took it." Don't bring such a debt collector......"

The two laughed for a moment before the giant wolf continued, "This promise of the Celex family is very valuable. You know what?! Their determination to deliver on their commitments is recognized throughout Europe. ”

"The most famous is during World War II. At that time, the family of Cyliax was on the side of General de Gaulle, and for this they paid a terrible price for almost all the men of the family. But they never flinched. ”

But seeing the giant wolf, he said with emotion: "At that time, their family's old friend Petain had repeatedly advised them to join the government. However, it was met with a resolute rejection. History, though, has proven them right. ”

"At that time, the jackals did fight with the Celestian family." The giant wolf smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity that Cylicex didn't seem to appreciate us at that time. They think we're just mercenaries for money, so they have contact with us. But also on guard. ”

Hou Dasheng nodded understandingly, in fact, this is also the attitude of many people. For mercenaries, both use and defend. After all, he can help you kill people for money, and he can also kill you for money. This kind of thing is not uncommon in mercenary circles.

"Cook, you may not have noticed. The general environment of the world is changing, and the era of mercenary brazenness is coming to an end. The giant wolf held the wine glass in his hand and said with emotion: "Although I believe that mercenaries will continue to be active in other ways and under various names. But the era of our blatant actions has quietly passed. ”

As he spoke, the giant wolf stood up and poured Hou Dasheng a glass of wine again and said with a smile: "I can see that you are a person who knows how to be grateful and is extremely loyal to your friends. This is not only the reason why Benoit admires you, but also the reason why I appreciate you. ”

"So, I took the risk and made a decision at the time: support you to protect Lisa." The giant wolf said, looking at Hou Dasheng apologetically: "This is not only to protect you, but also to make Benoit owe you a favor." ”

"We're going to grow old, and no one knows what the world will be like in a few years or even a decade. I need to find a safe haven for the jackals. France is suitable, but here we need to rely on. ”

The giant wolf looked at Hou Dasheng and said softly, "The Celiex family is an ally that I think is worth cooperating with after observing it for a long time. ”

"Commander, don't say that all this was calculated by you from the beginning." Hou Dasheng looked at the giant wolf depressedly and said, "I think in that case, I will really look a little stupid......"

When the giant wolf heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha...... How could you think that?! How do I know you're going to meet the people of House Cylicus? What happened to you and the fat dog was indeed a temporary outbreak. ”

"But then, I looked at Benoit and Lisa. I feel like this is an ally that we can work with. In fact, in the beginning, France was only one of our observer countries. We need a strong ally to support us. But we can't be completely reduced to thugs, so it's very difficult to do so. ”

The giant wolf said, smiling slightly, "Benoit obviously knew why we did this, so he gave us what we wanted. (To be continued.) )
