"Number 0" was moving so fast that everyone only saw a blur before the white man who had uttered the foul words was being lifted up by the neck.
The man was horrified, but reacted quickly, immediately drawing a tactical straight knife from his waist and slashing at the radial artery of "Number 0's " arm.
The sharp blade made a futile effort, failing to even cut the suit.
The next second, his eyes bulged out from being pinched, his tongue lolled out, and his legs straightened... Then, with a "crack," his head lolled to one side, and he died.
The power of "Number 0" could easily twist off a head, but Lu Li is a low-key person, so he had the puppet restrain itself.
Even so, the arena fell completely silent instantly!
Aurora stared in disbelief, while the ten mercenaries, dressed in identical outdoor gear, hesitated for a few seconds before drawing their pistols and shouting at "Number 0":
"You bastard! You killed Ryan!"
"You're dead! Your bulletproof suit won't help; I'll just blow your head off!"
The entire area was filled with the clicking sounds of guns being released and bullets being chambered; the situation was escalating rapidly.
It was at this moment that Ms. Maria's voice came from the second floor:
"Stop! Our enemy is a drug lord!"
The woman led a group of people down the stairs.
There were four upright sergeants in camouflage uniforms, from the Marine Corps.
There was also a bald black man wearing khaki outdoor clothing, glaring at Lu Li with an unfriendly expression; he was the leader of the Summer Company.
At that moment, the Marine Corps sergeants sneered:
"Joey, you guys aren't planning to fight each other in front of your employer, are you?"
"The mercenaries from Summer Company are getting more and more professional."
Joey, a bald black man, waved his hand coldly, and his subordinates angrily put away their guns.
Joey glanced at Lu Li and the two puppets in suits, and said in a deep voice:
"It was just verbal provocation; it shouldn't cost me my life."
Lu Li calmly said, "Adults must pay the price for their actions, including the words they say."
"Very good." Joey said coldly, "After the mission is completed, I will represent Summer Company to resolve this matter with you."
"It's not impossible..." Lu Li pondered, "But I'm afraid of trouble, and I'd rather kill you all here."
The moment the words left his mouth, the people from Summer Company suddenly felt a chill run down their spines!
Even Aurora and the Marine Corps sergeants sensed it and couldn't help but change their expressions:
"How many people has this kid killed?!"
The suppression of life magnetic field by "killing intent" is not unfamiliar to military personnel who have seen many life and death.
Lu Li couldn't remember how many people he had killed, but there were 300 Divine Soul stored in the Kunlun Mirror.
His hostility was chilling!
Especially considering that a single glance could snap their heads off.
Even if the opponent resists, ordinary firearms cannot penetrate the "Honeycomb Shield," which is as tough as steel.
In the two or three seconds that Lu Li was pondering, the people from Summer Company broke out in a cold sweat, and even Joey reached for his gun.
Fortunately, Teresa sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Mr. Lu Li, please calm your anger."
As he spoke, he looked at Jessica with a pleading expression.
Jessica, being kind-hearted, advised her out of consideration for her good friend:
"Lu Li, we are guests, and guests should not put the host in a difficult position."
"Guests shouldn't put their hosts in a difficult position..."
Lu Li smiled and nodded to Ms. Maria: "I apologize for my rudeness."
At that moment, the pressure in the arena dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Maria, her smile unwavering, said, "There's a gathering at 8 PM tonight; I'll be counting on you then."
"Please rest assured, I will ensure your safety."
"Thank you, I firmly believe that!"
Ms. Maria was very satisfied.
Summer Security Company is an internationally renowned private military contractor whose employees are all elite soldiers with extensive combat experience.
But Lu Li easily subdued him, proving that his view was correct—this was precisely the piece of the puzzle he was most missing!
~~~~~~~~~~~
The storm sparked by verbal provocation quickly subsided.
The Summer Company employees rushed to the campaign rally site to scout the environment, and they looked rather disheveled.
Aurora led over a capable soldier and introduced him:
"This is Reyes of the Marine Corps."
Lieutenant Reyes reached out and shook hands with Lu Li, smiling:
"Hello, formidable young man. I've come specifically to thank you for teaching those vampires a lesson."
Aurora explained, "The private armed services provided by Summer Company come with many political demands."
Lu Li nodded. There's no such thing as a free lunch; this is only natural.
Lieutenant Reyes then said:
"Beware of those vampires' revenge. They're not soldiers, but a bunch of despicable scoundrels who only dare to wear 'outdoor clothes'."
Wearing outdoor clothing instead of camouflage uniforms allows them to claim they are civilians when they fail in battle, which is naturally abhorrent to real soldiers.
After reminding Lu Li, the lieutenant quickly returned to Ms. Maria's side.
Ms. Maria clearly trusted the Marine Corps more, and they were always there to protect her.
Aurora checked the time on her phone and said:
"We need to get going too. By the way, didn't you bring any gear? And what about your positioning...?"
Lu Li interrupted, "Give me a pistol with a silencer, the quietest possible one. As a free agent, I will preemptively eliminate those with ill intentions."
Aurora quickly said, "The rally is in the city center square, and there are tens of thousands of people participating! Firing at the crowd will cause a huge riot!"
Lu Li said solemnly, "Trust me, I can do it. You just need to quietly carry the body away."
Aurora opened her mouth, but considering the man's amazing... or rather, terrifying qualities, she ultimately said nothing more.
She turned and left, and soon returned with a P226 9mm pistol with a silencer.
Lu Li pulled open the sleeve to take a look, then tucked it into his waistband.
I use this thing just to avoid attracting attention.
After all, there's still an explanation for marksmanship...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rally started at 8 o'clock, Lu Li arrived on time at 7:45 with the convoy.
Tens of thousands of supporters had already gathered at the scene, waving banners and cheering enthusiastically for the lady's arrival.
The people from Summer Company are quite professional; they had already set up a perimeter on-site.
Amidst thunderous cheers, the woman walked onto the stage, with four Marine Corps following closely behind her.
Thank you! Thank you so much for coming! Sorry to keep you waiting!
As the speech began, people standing in the audience would wave their arms and shout from time to time.
The scene was chaotic, providing the perfect opportunity for an assassination.
Lu Li stood beside the podium wearing a headset, his mind wandering like a spider web, everything clearly reflected in his mind.
"Oh, there's more than one assassin."
Through a shared intuition, three burly men mingled in the enthusiastic crowd and reached into their robes...
