At that moment, countless people took a sharp breath in their hearts.
This young man’s skills...
It’s simply terrifying to the extreme!
As for the one who cried out, upon seeing the knife flying towards them, they almost instinctively shouted out, but unexpectedly, the knife pierced through the gaps of their fingers, without injuring their skin at all.
A sense of unspeakable shame instantly spread from the heart to the limbs.
"With such courage, I wish you an early death."
Raising her hand, Sandy Cruz reached for her combat knife without any expression.
Meanwhile, two hands from the side attacked him, intending to stop his action. Sandy Cruz’s expression did not change in the slightest; as soon as his fingers touched the handle of the knife, his wrist moved quickly, so fast that no one could see clearly. By the time everyone realized it, the two hands had already withdrawn, stained with blood.
Sandy Cruz withdrew his hand, and the combat knife returned to its sheath.
By this time, the frustrated Mercenary Corps, filled with anger, really couldn’t take it anymore.
Damn it!
𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Being insulted by someone who looks like a woman, where could the reputation of their Mercenary Corps go?!
Slamming the table hard, everyone at the table stood up with a "snap".
The members of Anonymous felt a sense of relief, feeling grateful to Sandy Cruz. Under these circumstances, it was obviously impossible to let Sandy Cruz face it alone. The moment those people stood up, they walked over to Sandy Cruz’s side without waiting for Ice’s command, adding to Sandy Cruz’s presence.
The two groups faced off against each other, and in an instant, the tense atmosphere, which had barely calmed down, spread once more in the confined space of the pub.
The Mercenary Corps still discussing whether to leave had their attention drawn back again.
"Bang——"
In the sword-drawn atmosphere, the sudden sound of a gunshot completely interrupted the tension!
Everyone looked towards the source, only to see Daisy Deacon standing at the bar, playing with the gun from earlier, her gaze slowly sweeping over them. Her expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened, but that indescribable sense of oppression and danger invisibly expanded, making one’s heart faintly tremble.
"Those who want to leave can go," Daisy Deacon’s lips curved slightly, her voice cool yet unhurried, "We can’t afford to waste our time."
The implication was that if anyone wanted to cause trouble here, she wouldn’t be polite.
Under the threat of Bailey Maynard and Daisy Deacon, the Mercenary Corps causing trouble hesitated for a while, and in the end, the leader decided to step back. Once the leader sat down, although the others were unwilling, they also sat down obediently.
This time, it was naturally inappropriate for Anonymous to act unreasonably.
"Let’s go."
Ice gave the order with a cold face.
Immediately, everyone from Anonymous stepped back in unison and followed behind Ice obediently.
On the other side, Sandy Cruz also sheathed his knife and left with the team.
Subsequently, one after another, a few Mercenary Corps chose to back down, but most still chose money and benefits, sitting down quietly.
The leader on the Revolutionary Army’s side sent someone down to register, then approached Daisy Deacon.
"I think Anonymous has some strength; should we consider negotiating?" The leader asked cautiously, keeping a close eye on Daisy Deacon, paying attention to her every expression.
"There’s no need. People like them won’t change their minds easily." Daisy Deacon clapped her hands, crossed her arms, and then gave the leader a sly smile, "Why not just kill them and be done with it."
