Leaving that aside, for the moment it seemed that Ye Lang had to face the most important problem. That is, when on earth would the employer who assigned the mission finally come?

This problem seemingly needed not much thought, as someone came over soon, saying that the employer was here and would like to invite them to dinner.

Therefore, Ye Lang arrived at the mansion of the employer with these mercenaries. The mansion looked like a mountain villa in the middle of nowhere. When Ye Lang was coming here, he said this:

“This is really desolate. How can people live here? Could it be that they are doing some under-the-table deals?”

“Frank! Stop your nonsense. After we go inside, you just shut your mouth up!!” Hearing Ye Lang’s words, members of the mercenary group felt ashamed and gave him a warning at the same time.

“Why? I am right about this.” Ye Lang fought for his right. There was indeed nothing wrong with his words, but...

“You are right, but you should not say it out so straightforward. Do you get me?”

“Not at all!” Ye Lang simply shook shook his head.

“Simply, even if you are beaten to death, you can not say a word!”

“Why should I be beaten to death? Why not you?” Ye Lang asked.

“All right, even if we are all dead, you can not open your mouth. Got it?”

“Yup!” Ye Lang nodded.

Entering the mountain villa, Ye Lang indeed never opened his mouth, even if everybody else were to die, he wouldn’t.

As Ye Lang was just a mere nobody, like the other unimportant mercenaries, he stayed in the dining room, eating the prepared feast after entering the mountain villa.

These mercenaries were eating meat and drinking, gobbling down the food!

The leader and some other important figures of the mercenary group took the case inside, to hand it over to the employer!

At the very beginning, the employer stayed in a slightly shady place, so mercenaries did not see him clearly, afterwards he came out, entering their view.

However, the mercenaries saw that the employer wore a black mask, covering the upper half of his face and a black cloak, on which there seemed to be a mark of number thirteen.

This kind of appearance made people feel weird, and seem suspicious!

Actually, this was not the only thing to suspect. One stranger thing was that if this was the territory of this employer, why did he keep them waiting for several days before coming here, instead of letting them come a few days sooner?

Just as Ye Lang said, was he doing some under-the-table deals? If it were Ye Lang here and he was clear-headed, he would notice something wrong here, as the employer looked as if he did not care about the thoughts of these mercenaries at all.

Either he did not fear being known, or it didn’t matter even if the mercenaries knew it.

“Did you see the article inside the case?” Regardless of anything else, the employer simply asked this question.

“Boss, please trust us. We behave ourselves as mercenaries and would not do anything like that.” The mercenaries said, not feeling well.
