Chapter 278 - Only benefits 2 (2/2)
And even if the Dark Council were forced to take over, it would not be able to change the fact that Parkland's power had been dispersed.
In order to ensure the safety of Masters and the others, as well as in order to make old Brent obey him obediently. They had taken another measure, which was to take Hein and Johansson away. Heinz was the most important son of old Brent, and now that Sauron was dead, he was almost the legal heir to Old Brent's estate. As for Johansson, although his family status was not as high as that of his uncle, he was still the only one in the line of descent.
He represented the future and hope of the family, and was also someone old Brent could not give up on.
Old Brent had not expected to be able to use these two important people as hostages against Parkland with a casual tap of his finger. He had also considered the matter of the hostages and was prepared to send out the useless Jester. To his surprise, Zero knew the Parkland family so well. In fact, this information had been provided by Masters.
But no matter what, old Brent could not save the situation. Thus, under his helpless gaze, he could only helplessly watch as the two cars drove off the Parkland territory along the highway. Two off-road vehicles, naturally they were none other than Masters and a few others. In the back seat of Masters' car sat Heinz, who had an unwilling look on his face, and Johansson, who was curled up and trembling.
The SUV followed the road in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the south. When it was about thirty kilometers away from Parkland, it suddenly turned west and drove into the bumpy wilderness. After another half an hour, the two cars stopped at an abandoned electric tower.
”Let's bid farewell here. As for Parkland, I'll be troubling you.” Zero said lightly.
Masters smiled and said, ”You trust me that much? Don't you worry that I'll be rich? ”
After thinking for a moment, Zero said, ”You wouldn't be that stupid, right?”
After a moment of silence, Zero smiled, and Masters was almost out of breath. He pointed to himself and said, ”Of course, I'm not stupid enough to erase the power of a big chaeker. After all, you know too many things about me. If you want revenge, there are too many things that you can choose from, no? ”
”So, it's better to be friends than to be enemies.” Zero added.
”Yes, that's it.” Masters patted Zero on the shoulder and whispered, ”Let me give you a little more courtesy.”
The moment his voice fell, two gunshots rang out. Bewildered, he looked toward Masters's car. In the back seat, one of Masters's assistants was putting away his gun. As for Hei Yin and Johansson, they had both been shot in the head and died!
”Why did you do that?” Su Ming's gaze turned cold as he said in a deep voice.
”Relax, my friend.” ”I know you keep your promises, but you have to understand that in this dog-shit era, there are some promises that will only lead you to the wrong conclusion.”
”Like them?”
”Like them!” Masters confirmed, ”Keep these two, and you'll leave yourself too many variables. It had been nearly forty years since Parkland's establishment, and their relationship was far from as simple as it seemed. It was like the root of a tree, with its roots twisted around it. Last night, we only caught them by surprise, and once they react, neither you nor I will know how many invisible enemies we have. ”
Masters lit a cigarette for himself, then looked at his assistant, who was carrying the two men down, and said, ”If you keep these two by your side, they will be the best spies for those invisible enemies. Friend, I don't think you want to be killed by them one day. Therefore, it was best to eliminate this uncertainty as soon as possible. As for the Parkland tycoons asking about the two of them, I will handle it, so rest assured that you can do something else. ”
In fact, Masters was right. But if he really wanted to be like Masters, killing two harmless lives for the sake of the theoretical crisis was something he couldn't do. Zero is not a merciful person. When necessary, he can use cruel means to shock the enemy. However, he was still unable to reach Masters' level.
At the same time, he did not think that Masters was cruel, cruel, but only in this era.
”Never mind, my friend.” Masters gave him a thumbs-up and said, ”Everything is for profit.”
After saying this sentence, which had the characteristics of the age, Masters waved goodbye to Zero and walked back to his car. Zero went back to the car, and without a word, let Maple start the car and drive him back into the wilderness to Asgard.
