Chapter 1348: Cunning and Greed
Lazo looked around, and electric arcs immediately ran through his body.
The moment he saw that the gun was gone, he immediately knew that something was wrong. Putting the sniper shootout and the mysterious disappearance of Roger's gun together in his mind, he immediately knew who would take all the blame, this huge blame.
Looking at the dozens of bloodthirsty eyes around him, Lazo realized that if he couldn't escape soon, then he wouldn't have a chance to get Roger's gun at all, no, in fact, he wouldn't even be able to go back.
If something like this had happened elsewhere, Lazo wouldn't have bothered to say a word, but all these loners weren't weaklings.
If they team up and decide to kill him, he will most likely die.
Thinking about this, Lazo's hatred for that sniper immediately reached its peak.
He wanted to eat it alive.
«Keep calm! " - immediately came to Lazo's mind.
Various lights started flashing in the tavern. It was now obvious to everyone that the loners had decided to kill Lazo. After all, only by killing him would they be able to figure out if he really took the gun or not.
— Wildcat, Tank, Bart, the plan failed, prepare to retreat, " Lazo said and took up a fighting stance, then turned his back on the masked woman in black tights.
The wildcat was the "Mask" that Little Bun had mentioned.
Tank and Bart were actually Iron Tank and Barbat. Iron Tank was clad in iron armor and wielded a shield and sword well. Barbat, on the other hand, was dressed in jungle-colored clothing.
Hearing Lazo's words, the Mask was stunned and wanted to hit Lazo's spine.
He wanted to drag her down to the bottom.
Just as the Mask was about to take action, Lazo uttered a second sentence — " Tank, barrier! and as soon as he was done, the Iron Tank hit the ground with its conical shield.
*Boom!*
Immediately, a metal energy barrier appeared around Lazo's body, Mask, Iron Tank, and Barbat.
The mask that was about to attack Lazo stopped. She noticed the Iron Tank's gaze on her. Once she dares to attack, Lazo and Iron Tank will definitely join forces and try to kill her. Mask wasn't sure if Barbat was in the same group as them, but she could see that Lazo and Iron Tank were definitely in the same group.
The loners who were ready to fight were clearly scared. If such a group decides to fight them back more than one contractor will obviously die during the battle.
The thin-faced contractor frowned. He felt that something was wrong. If the four of them were really in the group, then why were they wasting their time earlier? Such a group could easily take the gun and walk away.
The thin-faced contractor looked at the expressions of Lazo and Iron Tank, but found nothing unusual about them, but he did see surprise and anger on the faces of Mask and Barbat.
After that, he immediately turned around and ran out of the tavern. He was more than 60% sure that Roger's gun wasn't in Lazo's possession. Earlier, Lazo said all this, obviously to intimidate, but if you think about his words, it already looked very strange and did not stand up to any criticism.
Was Lazo afraid of them? Oh no, the madmen of the Ghost Brigade weren't afraid of death, so how could he be afraid of them? But right now, he really wanted to bully them, or rather, he just didn't want to waste his strength. Why? Wouldn't such a move only be logical if he was truly innocent?
All sorts of thoughts raced through his mind. He rose from the first rank to the fourth rank alone. If he didn't have a brain in his skull, he would have died long ago in some derivative world.
Soon, this man remembered about the sniper duel, in particular that the first sniper to shoot was very abnormal.
Since Lazo was currently trapped in a pincer trap and wouldn't be able to get out of it quickly, instead of fighting to the death, this contractor decided to test his guess.
If this contractor was able to think of this, how could others not have thought of it?
Mask thought for a moment and looked at Lazo's back. Logically speaking, Lazo was the best target right now.
— If you give it to me, I'll help, " the Mask whispered.
— The real culprit escaped with the gun, most likely already escaped from the twenty-first island. Let's catch him together.
— Well.
There was something that the Mask couldn't understand. If Roger's gun was really in Lazo's possession, why didn't he immediately run away? With the help of the Iron Tank, he would be able to escape without much trouble, at least he would definitely not be in such a bad situation.
But come to think of it, if Lazo decided to run away, then everyone would decide to kill him no matter what, because his escape would be proof that Roger's gun was in his possession.
It was because of this that Lazo did not run away, which allowed him to defuse the situation a little.
— Lazo, give me the f — " Barbat started to say, but Lazo interrupted him immediately. Lazo shouted, and a long wooden box appeared in his hand. "Reward," Lazo said, and tossed the wooden box to Barbat.
The muscles on Barbat's body bulged and he immediately caught the wooden box. Although Barbat was reckless and had good muscles, he was quite intelligent and definitely wouldn't catch a wooden box with his bare hands, at least for his own safety.
But he caught her. And he caught her because of the notification.
[
You have obtained 2 large soul Crystals.
There were two large soul crystals in the wooden box. Barbat couldn't help but catch her.
After catching it, he immediately decided to break it apart for everyone to see its contents.
If it had been a really smart person, he would have smashed the box on the way in and then taken the crystals so that no one would even have time to think about the fact that Roger's gun was inside..
The iron tank roared at the top of its lungs and sound waves immediately spread out in all directions.
Lazo, Mask, and Iron Tank immediately rushed to the main entrance from the tavern after that.
As Barbat was about to follow them, an invisible contractor appeared behind him.
The daggers flew to the back of Barbat's head.
The shadow of a black python appeared behind Barbat and he rushed forward, but it was already too late.
*Pouf!*
Blood splattered on the floor.
Barbat crushed the wooden box and among the wood fragments the contractors saw the light of two soul crystals.
*Poof-poof...*
The invisible contractor's throat, armpits, neck, eye sockets, and hands became afterimages, and a line of blood began to flow from his daggers, gradually tracing a symbol in the air.
The clearer the symbol, the worse the Barbat looked.
*Ding~*
The invisible contractor lightly waved his dagger and the streak of blood disappeared, after which he reached out and grabbed two large soul crystals.
