Chapter 106 Sniper Killing
Chapter 107 Sniper Killing
The two-hour break passed quickly, and many participants returned to the auction site one after another. I had already walked into the crowd on the first floor and hid before Ningxue, hiding in the corner of the stand where Hunshang was. People gradually poured in, but it was obvious that after two rounds of auctions, most of the participants had been reduced. Even the man in a white suit who was standing next to Shoulang disappeared from the stand. The auction of two large areas, the battle of prices, many participants could no longer climb to such a high price, so they did not want to waste time. Taking advantage of the lunch break, some people took the boat to leave here one after another.

The auction in the northern region was exactly the same as that in the southern region. Although it took some effort due to Cruel Cigar's disruption, the auction ended safely in the hands of Skinny Wolf. Ninety-five billion was also an acceptable price.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next highlight, the auction of the western region, is about to begin." The host calmed down the somewhat chaotic scene and indicated that he was going to start introducing the key areas of the west. "As everyone expected, the western region is located directly east of Tokyo. If transportation is established, then all local developments will flourish quickly. Not only that, from another perspective, the western region will be the most influential area besides the central area. If the central area is the heart, then the western region is the blood system and the veins of the entire island. Without further ado, the western coastal area will be publicly auctioned, with a reserve price of 100 billion. Please bid!"

Wow. . .

When the reserve price of the auction was announced, all the bidders sighed. This price was already several times higher than the reserve prices in other regions. Ordinary bidders simply couldn't afford it. If the third-to-last region was so expensive, what would the prices be like in the remaining regions?
"One hundred and twenty billion!" Just as everyone was still discussing the price, Cruel Cigar, who had been making trouble for Skinny Wolf on the right side of the stand, finally spoke up. One hundred and twenty billion, a 20% price increase. The people present exclaimed.

"Hmph, making a fuss out of nothing." Cruel Cigar took a deep puff of his cigarette and then sat down on the chair. From the auction until now, Xun Ji beside him had not appeared and no one answered the phone, which made Cruel Cigar feel a little depressed. However, Hunshang beside the Red Snake King Snake had never left, and Liu Feng beside the Skinny Wolf was also confirmed to be an illusion, so Cruel Cigar did not think too much about it and just thought that Xun Ji and the other two were out to scout the place.

"One hundred and twenty billion at a time," the MC shouted.

"Mr. Mingya." Skinny Wolf tapped the headset.

"Xunji has left, let go." I said gloomily on the other end of the phone.

"Hey. Leave it to me then." Skinny Wolf said with an excited smile. He stood up slowly and sneered at Cruel Cigar opposite him.

"One hundred and twenty billion twice!"

"One hundred and thirty billion!"

Skinny Wolf's voice echoed throughout the auction venue.

"Thin Wolf! What are you doing!" Cruel Cigar was startled when he heard Thin Wolf's voice, and then the surprised expression turned into anger.

"What? As you can see." Skinny Wolf shrugged, and the unpleasant voice with a strange tone sounded in the ears of Cruel Cigar.

"Skinny Wolf! Are you looking for death? This is different from what we agreed!" Cruel Cigar punched the railing.

"Haha, did we agree on anything?" Skinny Wolf sneered. "Although we had a deal, I don't remember promising anything, right?"

"You!" Cruel Cigar recalled what was said that night. Indeed, Skinny Wolf only said that he looked forward to good news soon, and did not promise him that he would not take action in the west.

"So... Mr. Master of Ceremonies, can we continue the auction?" Seeing the silence in the audience, Skinny Wolf reminded contemptuously.

"Oh, oh. Sorry. Then, Mr. Koga, 130 billion! Once!" The auctioneer wiped the cold sweat from his head.

"One hundred and forty billion!" Ito Naoki shouted angrily. Although there was a skinny wolf competing with him, he was strong after all. So Cruel Cigar was not afraid at all.

"Mr. Ito, I suggest you give up." Skinny Wolf said calmly. "Useless struggle will only get you into trouble. Don't you think so?"

"Thin Wolf, what do you mean by that!"

"What do you mean? What do you think?" The thin wolf sat on the sofa with a leisurely look. "Since the auction this afternoon, don't you feel like something is missing around you?"

"What?!" Upon hearing Skinny Wolf's words, Cruel Cigar's heart beat violently.

"Well... I don't need to explain it more clearly. You can take care of yourself. One hundred and fifty billion!" Skinny Wolf shouted out his price in a cold voice.

"... Damn it." Cruel Cigar grabbed the railing fiercely. Skinny Wolf's words were very clear. If he continued to shout, he might have to stay here forever.

"One hundred and fifty billion at a time!" The host announced loudly when he saw that no one raised the price.

"Skinny Wolf, you bastard!" Cruel Cigar said hatefully, but he had no way to deal with Skinny Wolf. After all, he had lost his trump card.

"One hundred and fifty billion twice!" the host continued to shout.

"One... one thousand sixteen..." Ito Naoki struggled. He wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to.

"One hundred and fifty billion three times! Deal!" As the master of ceremonies dropped the hammer, the coastal area of ​​the western island was successfully taken over by Skinny Wolf.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

The loss of the western coastal area and the rapid departure left Cruel Cigar with no cards left to keep him here. Skinny Wolf’s words just now were very clear. If he continued to stay here, he might never have a chance to leave. With the transfer of the coastal area contract, Cruel Cigar immediately notified the helicopter that had already landed here to prepare for takeoff.

"Hey~ That big cigar wants to run away." On the first floor of the stands, I looked at Cruel Cigar's hurried appearance and said with some amusement. "Well... after all, I lost my umbrella, and I would do the same if I were in his place." Skinny Wolf said while holding up the earphones. "Then should we let him go?"

"How is that possible? It would be a shame to waste such a good opportunity." I smiled evilly and slipped into the crowd. "Thin Wolf, I won't be here at the next auction. Be careful."

"Hmm? You want to..."

"The auction just now was too intense. Let's go out for some fresh air and play some airplane games."

"..Eh?" The skinny wolf turned into a man with small eyes.

"Ah, Cruel Cigar's helicopter should have landed at the port. I will shoot him down as soon as he gets on the plane. Such a rare assassination opportunity cannot be missed, so I have to leave for a while. Please pay attention to yourself."

"Oh, I see." Skinny Wolf chuckled.

"Huh? What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just didn't expect Mr. Mingya to make such a joke." Skinny Wolf rubbed his temples while sitting on the sofa.

"Well... staying alert for too long will drive people crazy, so let yourself relax once in a while." Standing at the port, I shrugged. "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. The fat guy will be on the plane in a few minutes. I will be back in 20 minutes. Tell Axue to be alert."

"I understand. Please be careful."

After hanging up the phone with Skinny Wolf, I climbed up a newly planted tree. Although it was a naked island, the port facilities were still very complete. In addition, I was a seven-year-old child, so I would not be easily discovered by others hiding in such a tree. I set up the Barrett, which had never appeared before, and loaded a special armor-piercing bullet into the gun chamber. After adjusting the gun's scope, I aimed the crosshairs at the port, looking for Cruel Cigar's helicopter.

When we came here, we took the same ship, but when we went back, we had to take our own transportation, but most of them were ships, and there were only a few helicopters. Soon, at a helicopter that started, Cruel Cigar climbed onto the plane in a very strange posture. Through the scope, I clearly saw Cruel Cigar's lips moving as he said something to the helicopter pilot.

[Immediately call all the mercenaries and assassins we can contact. Search for Xun Ji with all our strength. Once found, kill him first without asking for permission later!] Looking at Cruel Cigar's twisted face, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. But it was true that his trump card turned against him at the last moment. This was definitely a fatal thing for him. Well... Anyway, his life till today was over.

[That bastard Shoulang! I will definitely destroy your lair when I get back! Just wait for me!]

"Haha, it's a pity that you can't go back." With a disdainful smile and words, I pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !
The loud gunshots spread throughout the port, but were quickly covered by the wind. Then came the loud explosion of the helicopter's fuel tank. When the people at the port looked towards the location of the explosion and gunshots, all that was left was the wreckage of the helicopter falling on the sea, and the shadows of trees swaying in the wind.

. . . . . .

"Hiss... This is a bit strange." The scene went back to the auction house. On the other side of the Thin Wolf's stand, the Red-banded King Snake, who was also waiting for the auction, looked at the Thin Wolf with narrowed eyes and frowned.

"What's wrong? My brother." Hunshang asked.

"That guy Shoulang has already taken over four coastal areas and one inland area. The total value of these things is at least 300 billion. And according to our intelligence, even if Shoulang sold all his assets, he would not have so much money to participate in the auction." Akano Yuichi thought calmly.

"Maybe he got some funding?" Hunshang reminded.

"Impossible. In the Kanto region, Shoulang is already the only dominant force. Other regions have been eyeing Shoulang for a long time. They can't even beat him, so how can they support him?"

“Could it be the government?”

"That shouldn't be the case. The underworld involved in the government doesn't dare to win over the real black forces so openly. We only have a trading relationship, and there is no way they can provide such generous support. Besides, the current auction is to ease the economic pressure on Japan. How can we shoot ourselves in the foot?"

"But no matter what method we use, we can be sure that there must be someone supporting Skinny Wolf. Right?" Hunshang concluded.

"Ah, that's for sure."

"So what do we do?"

"Creating chaos, we will have to take action in the inland auction later."

"We take action? But our purpose is not..."

"It doesn't matter. Trust my methods. It won't affect our acquisition of the core area in the middle." The Scarlet Snake laughed cruelly. "Just wait and see. At the next auction, I will make Skinny Wolf spit out all his assets!"
