The entire top floor of the Sheraton Hotel was in a complete mess.
The walls and doors were riddled with holes, and the corridors were covered in sticky blood.
Even the ceiling was covered with congealed organs, not to mention the corpses lying haphazardly with holes bursting open.
Lu Li only fired four shots, using at most 2% of his mental energy, yet achieved such an effect... This is the power of combining modern weapons with Spirit Refinement.
"Mr. Lu Li, we need to talk."
Medea and Eureka threw out their guns, then slowly moved out with their hands raised above their heads.
The two remained relatively calm overall; as executives of a multinational military company, capturing them alive was undoubtedly their first choice.
Moreover, they had a backup plan—
Eureka has ordered his mercenary squad to kidnap a key member of a campaign team as soon as possible, using him as leverage in negotiations.
Therefore, we need to delay as much as possible at this moment!
Medea spoke first:
"I am the head of Titan Company, which provides military services to 12 countries worldwide and employs over 12,000 people... Killing me will have consequences you cannot afford!"
Lu Li said calmly, "I'm in a hurry, so let's get straight to the point."
Medea, with a calm and confident smile, continued:
"Maria gave you, we can give you ten times, a hundred times! Go kill her now..."
Hearing this, Lu Li shook his head, interrupting her. "You lack respect for me and for your own life."
As he spoke, Lu Li pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Medea's forehead.
"What are you doing! This is a declaration of war..."
Amid Medea's incredulous expression, Lu Li pulled the trigger...
But then a gunshot rang out, Medea's eyes widened, and a bloody hole exploded in her head as she fell backward.
Eureka, her face splattered with blood, was utterly stunned! A manager of an international giant, killed just like that!?
Seeing that Lu Li had already turned his gun on her, Eureka snapped back to her senses and quickly shouted:
"Wait a minute! I have a lot of intelligence... The person who hired me is the current president! And the person who hired Titan Company is the candidate who's second in the polls. They signed a secret agreement that if they're elected president, it will bring in a billion dollars worth of orders..."
This person racked his brains to say things that sounded plausible at first glance, but were actually ambiguous and not very useful.
Just then, my phone vibrated slightly...
Eureka was overjoyed, thinking the mercenary team had made a gain.
It was a bit fast, but since it was an inside man, it's understandable.
He desperately wanted to check his phone, but unexpectedly Lu Li suddenly said:
"You seem to care a lot about this message."
Lu Li's hearing, comparable to that of a tiger, successfully caught the subtle movement and even the other party's anxious micro-expression.
With a lightning-fast flick of his wrist, he snatched the phone.
"Your inside man said—we haven't gone back."
Lu Li glanced at it, then showed the phone to the other person, and sure enough, that was what they were saying.
The campaign team's key figures, including Jessica and Teresa, all came out with them, along with two puppets for close protection.
Eureka had absolutely no chance from beginning to end.
His expression tightened, and his lips trembled as he was about to say something more.
Lu Li had already pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the bullet blew his head off.
With the enemy wiped out, things should be much more peaceful from now on.
Exactly four minutes later, Lu Li the window he had come from, waving at the "Shadow Painter Sword" still in mid-air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the convoy side, everyone kept glancing towards the Sheraton Hotel.
Not long after, Saladin was seen screaming as he fell from the building.
"It's started! Why aren't there any gunshots?"
Aurora found it odd; surely all the elite mercenaries on this floor couldn't be unarmed?
Ms. Maria flipped through the documents and said calmly, "Wait patiently, Lu Li will handle it properly."
She was looking through a land transfer agreement.
Aurora knew what this was and asked curiously, "Mr. Luke... really gifted a manor?"
Ms. Maria nodded. "Yes, he entrusted me to give it to Lu Li."
Aurora and Lieutenant Reyes, who was driving, exchanged a glance, both secretly astonished...
At that moment, Lu Li's voice suddenly came through the earpiece:
[Resolved, I'm going back now]
"Okay." Aurora quickly switched the channel to team mode.
"Attention! Friendly member approaching! Friendly member approaching!"
There were armed security personnel around the convoy, so I had to remind them to avoid any misunderstandings.
A few seconds later, Lu Li got back into the car.
Ms. Maria smiled and said, "Very punctual, exactly 5 minutes."
"Yes, I asked about a few things."
Lu Li handed the phone to Aurora for hacking, and at the same time repeated Eureka's words.
Maria and Aurora, among others, did not react strongly to the fact that the current president and his election opponents had hired assassins to kill him.
These people were the biggest beneficiaries of the woman's death.
"No matter how much preparation you do, you've still oversimplified things..."
Looking at Lu Li, Ms. Maria said with deep emotion, "Looking back on our meeting, it was truly an arrangement of fate."
Lu Li somewhat agreed with this statement; the two did indeed have some kind of destiny.
At this moment, Ms. Maria handed over a file folder and said:
"Mr. Luke has entrusted me to gift you a manor— Tepeya Manor."
Lu Li took it and saw that it was a transfer agreement for a luxurious manor.
The estate is located in the suburbs of Mexico, covering an area of 30,000 square meters with a building area of 8,000 square meters. It is named after the view of Mount Tepeya.
Its value is over $5 million, but it's not something you can buy just because you have money. This gift from the richest man is truly extravagant.
Moreover, the fact that it was given by Ms. Maria showed consideration for all parties involved and demonstrated great sincerity.
The lady was happy to speak well of him:
"Mr. Luke appreciates your kindness and would like to be your friend. I suggest you accept this."
Lu Li nodded and placed the document beside him.
Despite receiving a luxurious manor as a gift, his expression remained calm, a testament to the composure and confidence that comes with strength, a confidence that allows him to handle anything.
Aurora was deeply moved, feeling as if it were just yesterday that this man came to buy the Children's Rifle.
However, there was something else right now, Aurora asked:
"Madam, should we eliminate those mercenaries?"
"Since they've already betrayed us, there's no need to keep them around any longer."
Ms. Maria was certainly not a soft-hearted person, and made a decision immediately.
This is a minor matter, and it doesn't require Lu Li's intervention. Aurora simply needs to mobilize the convoy's armed personnel.
But Lu Li suddenly said, "Let me do it."
"Oh yes, you two have a grudge against each other."
Everyone recalled that on their first day of meeting, Lu Li's men had killed a mercenary.
Little did Lu Li know, he wanted "Number 0" to film a video and post it online to gather public support and encouragement.
This is easy to handle, because Eureka's phone is right here.
Aurora pulled out a bulky military-grade mobile computer, connected it to her phone, and quickly hacked it.
Then, using Eureka's voice, she sent a message to the mercenary leader Joey, tricking them into going to the suburbs.
Lu Li also had "Shadow Painter Sword" keep an eye on the mercenaries in advance, just in case anything unexpected happened.
With multiple measures employed, these people's fate is sealed; they can only become extras in short videos.
