Chapter 132 Thoreau’s mission completed?
"People inside, listen! If you don't hand over Liang He, you will all die!"
Minister Ace, the commander-in-chief of the rebel attack.
With his face shining brightly, he looked down at the hotel building from above, as if he had already won.
"Minister, they haven't handed over anyone yet, are they going to continue the bombardment?"
Three bombings have been carried out, but the enemy seems unmoved.
"Would they rather die to save Lianghe?"
The rebels knew the importance of Lianghe.
Her ability is extremely important whether it is against the evolved orcs or the dark wizard developing an army of ferocious beasts. It is normal for the opponent to refuse to surrender.
"Oh, you would rather die than surrender?"
Ace sneered and pressed the button to fire the energy cannon.
"Then let them all die, and I will arrest them myself!"
With a deafening crash, the hotel building, which had been bombed four times, felt vaguely shaky.
Seeing how ruthless Ace was, Ace's men swallowed back what they had originally wanted to say.
If the hotel building was bombed, how would they explain to the headquarters if Liang He was killed?
"That good-for-nothing Valken said there was a bounty hunter lurking around Liang He, but why is there no movement at all?"
Ace, who was originally sure that the people in the hotel wouldn't be able to stay up too long, saw the time passing by, and he would be lying if he said he wasn't in a hurry.
He had already made up his mind that if the plan failed, Varken would be his best scapegoat.
"We have contacted the other party based on the information provided by Minister Varken, but have not received a response yet."
Ace and Vulcan are on the same level. After Vulcan lost his base last time, Ace has completely overpowered him. He can call Vulcan a loser, but they, who are younger brothers, still have to be careful.
If Varken turns over one day and settles a score with them, they won't be able to explain.
"There's news!"
Just as he was talking, Thoreau sent a message.
[I have successfully captured Lianghe. Please suspend the bombing while I take people aboard the battleship. 】
When he saw the words 'catch Lianghe', Ace's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he could already imagine Commander Nick praising him greatly.
"Okay! Let the battleship descend the ladder and bring the people up!"
The contact information was provided by Varken, and Ace didn't dare to play tricks, so there was no need to worry about fraud.
Even if there was a fraud, just two people, Thoreau and Liang He, boarded the battleship. Wouldn't a group of people still be afraid of them?
"Minister, they're coming out!"
As the ladder gradually descended and the hotel door opened, Thoreau approached the battleship with Liang He hostage, followed by Holder and others who were trying to rescue Liang He.
"Lianghe!"
"Don't come here! If you dare to come close again, I will kill her immediately!"
Holder looked anxious and wanted to step forward to save Liang He, but was restrained by Thoreau's dagger placed on Liang He's neck, fearing that he would bleed Liang He accidentally.
"Thoreau, what do you want?! We can discuss it!"
Holder, who tried to negotiate with Thoreau in exchange for Lianghe, only received rejection.
"Brother, I won't hide it from you now. I am a bounty hunter and I do things for money. I can't ruin my reputation!"
Thoreau held Liang He hostage and moved closer to the ladder. Ace listened to the conversation between him and Holder and was very satisfied with his performance.
"Varken finally took care of some personnel matters. This bounty hunter is quite reliable. When the matter is over, I'll ask him if he wants to work for me."
"Understood."
Ace was satisfied, and it was much easier for them to be his subordinates. Without thinking, he took Solo and Liang He who had climbed up the ladder to the battleship.
It wasn't until the two of them successfully entered the battleship that Ace felt completely relieved. "Haha, your name is Thoreau, right? Not bad! Very good!"
Ace opened his arms and greeted Thoreau with a smile on his face. At this time, Liang He was already controlled by his men and was waiting aside.
"Are you Minister Ace? It's an honor to meet you."
Thoreau also smiled, hugged Ace warmly as a sign of friendship, and then turned his attention to Liang He.
"She is very cunning. She disguised herself and hid in the crowd. I managed to catch her, so I successfully completed the mission."
"If she were so easy to catch, we wouldn't ask you, Mr. Thoreau, to take action. I heard that you are a bounty hunter with a 100% mission completion rate and have never failed. You really did not disappoint me!"
Ace said this as if Thoreau was paid for by him.
However, when he first heard about Thoreau's stunts, he thought they were bluffs. Now it seems that he underestimated Thoreau.
"Minister Ace praised me to the point of embarrassment."
Thoreau touched the back of his head shyly, looking like an honest man, which made Ace even more assured that he would not do anything wrong, and in a blink of an eye he turned his attention to Liang He.
"Are you Lianghe?"
Ace looked Liang He up and down. He had read Liang He's information before going on the mission.
To be honest, if there weren't various signs that Liang He was not simple, he would never have thought that this petite and weak Blue Star man had such great ability to tame the evolved orcs.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Even if you are willing to cooperate, our rebel army will treat you as a guest."
"Cooperation?"
Liang He sneered coldly.
"The cooperation that Minister Ace talks about is for someone to hold me hostage and tie me in front of you? I really can't afford it."
After saying that, Liang He turned his head, stared at Thoreau with hatred, and questioned him with gritted teeth.
"Thoreau, thank you Holder for treating you as a good brother. I didn't expect you to be a lackey of the rebels!"
Thoreau, who was scolded so suddenly, almost didn't react.
He imitated Liang He's sneer and looked unmoved.
"Don't say it so harshly. We bounty hunters make money by relying on our reputation. As for brotherhood, hey, how much is that thing worth?"
His answer made Liang He scold him angrily, but Ace beside him was very satisfied.
The more Thoreau showed that he loved money, the more at ease Ace became.
People have to have weaknesses, and loving money is a good weakness for him to exploit.
"Minister, are we going to continue bombing the hotel?"
Another ten minutes passed and Liang He had been arrested. Logically speaking, Ace should stop.
But he was very ambitious. Just as Liang He had guessed, they planned to turn the Green Star into a paradise for ferocious beasts and a purgatory on earth.
"Go on, I want to make the Star of Oz leave no one behind!"
"Ace! You went back on your word!"
Hearing that Ace was going to continue bombing the hotel, Liang He could no longer hold back and began to struggle and roar.
"Go back on your word? What do you mean?"
Ace, who has never studied Blue Star culture, said he didn't understand, but he could guess. It was just that he was not trustworthy.
"Lianghe, you are not so naive as to think that our rebel army is a place of trust, right? Haha!"
"You!"
Liang He, whose eyes were red with anger, kept adjusting his breathing, still trying his best to save those innocent people.
"Ace, don't you want me to cooperate with you? If you dare to touch them, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the leader of the rebel army?"
Fake, all fake, the heroine is always the most powerful!
