Chapter 26 Adile's Mission
Chapter 26 Adile's Mission
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Mike very seriously. In fact, he didn't understand why he cared so much about Adile. Did he start to like her? Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head vigorously.
"Chen, you like Adile, she's great, I'll take you there," Mike said, pointing at Lu Chen with a bright smile.
At this moment, the jackal walked over, looked at Lu Chen, and said loudly, "Lu Chen, mission accomplished, I should go."
Lu Chen then realized he had overlooked the jackal. He quickly stepped forward, opened his arms, and gave him a tight hug, saying gratefully, "You are my brother forever. Stay and rest for a few more days."
Meeting Chinese people, especially mercenaries, in such a place made him feel like he was seeing relatives, but he was filled with reluctance at the thought of parting.
Jackal patted Lu Chen on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "I have to go back. Remember, as a qualified mercenary, emotions are a fatal weakness. If we meet again, I won't show any mercy. By the way, my boss wants to see you soon, so we might meet again." After he finished speaking, he stretched out his finger and made a shooting gesture.
He smiled at Lu Chen, turned around and strode forward, with ten mercenaries following closely behind.
Lu Chen was momentarily stunned. He watched Jackal and his men gradually disappear into the distance, lost in thought. Could it be that mercenaries truly couldn't be sentimental? Did they only care about their missions? But then, thinking about the help Jackal had given him, it seemed that things weren't so absolute.
"Chen, let's go," Mike said, putting his arm around Lu Chen's shoulder.
Lu Chen nodded and followed Mike forward.
Soon the group arrived at the underground parking garage and saw Adile shouting at a local woman. They were all taken aback, but quickly realized that Adile wanted to go out, but the local woman wouldn't let her.
Lu Chen smiled and said loudly, "Adile, what are you doing?"
When the local women saw Lu Chen, Mike, and the others enter, they quickly ran away.
When Adila saw Lu Chen, she was overjoyed. Ignoring the gunshot wound on her arm, she ran over and hugged him tightly. She exclaimed, "You're finally here! I was so bored!"
Mike, James, and the others laughed. Lu Chen was speechless. This woman was too open-minded. There were so many other people around. At this moment, he seemed to have come to terms with it. As long as his parents received the money, it wouldn't matter whether he returned to China or not. Finding a woman like this was enough to pass the time. Besides, Adile was the daughter of a powerful warlord.
He patted Adile's arm and said softly, "Come down first, and I'll tell you what happened."
Adile blinked her big eyes, loosened her grip but still clung tightly to Lu Chen's arm as if afraid he would run away. She nodded and said, "Let me guess, it wasn't the five of you who took down Rahman's men, was it?"
"Congratulations, you got it right," Lu Chen said with a smile.
At this moment, Mike clapped his hands and said, "To celebrate the victory, I've decided to have a bonfire party right here in the yard." After he finished speaking, he waved to James, Alex, and Anthony.
The three of them naturally understood what Mike meant. James said loudly, "Yes, for the campfire party, I'll go buy a sheep."
"I'll start a fire," Alex said.
Mike led the three away, leaving only Lu Chen and Adile in the basement.
Lu Chen sat on a box, looked at Adile, put away his smile, and said seriously, "Adile, tell me your real purpose."
He had a feeling that something was wrong. From the start of the security mission to the fight between Alz and Rahman, and then to Adile's rescue of Alz, and the attack on the way, things were all so coincidental. He felt that there was a thread connecting everything, but he didn't know who that thread was.
Adile still had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. As for my real purpose, I've already told you before. What happens after that has nothing to do with me."
"How did Rahman know your whereabouts? Is there a traitor among you?" Lu Chen said coldly. Rahman's sneak attack on Adelai must have been tipped off by someone, otherwise it wouldn't have been so timely. And Adelai had always wanted to kill Alz, so perhaps he would use this opportunity to create the illusion that Rahman killed Alz. Or perhaps someone wanted Adelai to die with Alz.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Adil. If that were the case, there was a traitor by Ibn's side.
Adile was stunned. She looked at Lu Chen very seriously and suddenly said, "Someone wants me and Alz dead. You're right, there's a traitor among my father's men." She reacted quickly and immediately thought of this problem.
At this point, Adile suddenly grabbed Lu Chen's arm and said nervously, "Lu Chen, I need your help. They will sideline my father and then kill us."
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. You can find Mike. They are mercenaries; they do things for money," Lu Chen said, waving his hand hastily. He had indeed started to like this woman a little, but he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between warlords.
"Okay, I'll pay you one million to protect me and my father," Adile said earnestly.
Just then, Mike called out loudly from the doorway, "Lu Chen, come out for a drink."
Lu Chen loudly agreed, then nodded to Adile and said, "Let's go. I believe Mike will help you." Regardless of what happens in the future, let's get a mission for the werewolf mercenary group first. After all, the mercenary group can only survive and grow stronger if it makes money.
After he finished speaking, he strode out. As if he had recognized him, Adile quickly followed and took Lu Chen's arm, just like a young couple.
Lu Chen shook his head helplessly and let him be. He seemed to have come to terms with things a lot since he came back this time.
He came over to Mike and sat down on the simple stone bench.
He picked up a bottle of beer, bit off the cap with his teeth, clinked glasses with Mike, and said loudly, "Have a drink, and I'll bring you a big order while I'm at it. This lady, Adile, wants to hire your werewolf mercenary group for a million dollars." He then gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Mike was initially surprised, then overjoyed, he grabbed another bottle of beer and handed it to Adile, laughing as he said, "The Werewolf Mercenary Group is happy to serve you."
Adile glanced at Mike, then at Lu Chen, and shook her head, saying, "The mission will be assigned to whichever mercenary group he's in. Is he a member of yours now?"
Mike stood up, looking at Lu Chen earnestly with a pleading expression. He said sincerely, "Chen, we need you. We need this mission."
