Chapter 68: No Need

Bang!

A bullet shot from the hand of the round-faced sturdy man directly hit the empty space!

"What!?" Holding the gun, the round-faced sturdy man, confident that his shot would not miss, widened his eyes in disbelief just before pulling the trigger.

Not only did his shot miss, but the figure in front of him also disappeared directly from his sight! It was as if the chamber of his gun was loaded not with a normal bullet, but with magical bullets.

With one shot, the person vanished.

"Ah! Ugh! Ugh!"

However, from behind came struggling sounds and choked breaths, making the round-faced sturdy man dare not believe it and turn back, only to see his boss being held by the neck and raised high by someone!

Seeing this, several security-like workers beside the round-faced sturdy man subconsciously raised their guns to aim at the figure wearing a coat.

"Don't move!" The round-faced sturdy man quickly raised his hand to press down the gun in the hand of his colleague beside him and shouted, so no one would act foolishly at this critical moment.

You!? Idiots! Can't you see that I'm being choked? Hurry up and take action to kill this guy and save me!

The boss of the stronghold, held by Reno, turned red in the face and glared at the round-faced sturdy man beyond Reno's shoulder with angry eyes.

"Sir, what do you want? Everything can be negotiated. Can you please put down my boss first?" The round-faced sturdy man stared at the coat worn by Reno, frowned, and asked Reno.

The coat worn by the other party didn't seem strange at all, just an ordinary coat. However, both sides and the back were now sagging strangely, indicating that there were many unidentified heavy objects inside the coat.

What could be hidden in the coat... Besides weapons and ammunition, he really couldn't think of anything else.

Although normal soldiers would never be so foolish as to stuff their heavy coats to obstruct their movements, the man wearing the coat in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person.

Not to mention how the other party appeared from the elevator shaft, just grabbing his boss's hand directly after flashing past them made it clear that he and the few half-baked security workers beside him were not his opponents.

If he were really an enemy... He could handle one or two normally equipped soldier, but this guy in front of him, every move he made didn't seem like that of a 'person'...

"Where are my goods? It's already the third day today. If you can't send them, give me back my money. Because there is no option for a refund on your website, I had to come and get them myself."

Uh...

Refund request?

Are you serious?

Have you ever seen anyone buying things on the black market applying for a refund from the black market!?

Regardless of whether he had seen it before, he just saw it today!

"Yes! Of course! The order placed three days ago, your goods have definitely arrived. We are just waiting to load them onto the truck!"

Seeing that Reno's boss no longer had the strength to stare angrily at him, the round-faced sturdy man quickly responded.

Whatever the request, just agree first and then figure it ou latert. That boss couldn't die, otherwise, all the workers here would lose their jobs!

Who knows if the new stronghold manager sent over is competent? Now, this one, he had seen had the most normal thought process among them!

Hearing the round-faced sturdy man's words, Reno nodded in satisfaction, loosened his hand, and threw the stronghold boss down.

"Huff! Huff!"

Sitting on the ground, the stronghold boss gasped for the hard-earned air greedily while looking up at Reno in front of him with tangled eyes.

Damn it! It's only been less than half an hour since the communication just now! How did this guy find his way here? He shouldn't know the location of the black market stronghold as an outsider!?

In the eyes of the stronghold boss, Reno wearing a coat was obviously an outsider because there had never been any rumors about Reno in this city.

And such a showy guy, looking very conspicuous at first glance, obviously couldn't be an unknown refugee.

"Um, may I ask what goods are included in your shipment? And please confirm the recipient's name."

Seeing Reno put down the boss, the round-faced sturdy man breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out a small notebook from his work clothes pocket, approaching Reno with a business-like smile to ask.

Well, this was a bit more professional, unlike this guy who ranted as soon as he opened his mouth. How could he look like a businessman? While nodding in satisfaction, Reno glanced disdainfully at the stronghold boss at his feet.

This guy!?

Seeing Reno's disdainful gaze, the stronghold boss suddenly felt a surge of blood, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. But since their side was no match for the other, he endured it! Can't I endure it!?

"SST-02A/03 universal humanoid power core, humanoid biomimetic skin nano-repair material, metal monomer material..."

Reno naturally ignored the disgruntled look of the stronghold boss and directly listed the items on his order list.

Listening to the names of these items, the round-faced sturdy man nodded, while casting a gloating look at the stronghold boss who hadn't stood up yet.

This guy, what was he sulking about?

The matter of Zoltan was nothing to them, and it was just about a truck.

Couldn't they discuss it after delivering the goods? Seeing that the other party didn't even blink when buying so much, it was obviously not a big deal.

Maybe a few soft words would make him return the truck. It's not difficult to get a truck nowadays, right?

There are plenty of them outside the city in the wilderness. Even if most of them are scrap, just dismantle some parts everywhere, take them back, and assemble them, and the truck will be ready.

The truck Zoltan took out was obtained in this way. Usually fiddling with it, now it's time to pay back the consequences!

"Okay, all the goods you ordered have arrived, and they are stacked in the warehouse on the second basement floor. Do you want us to send them over now or...?"

"You find a truck to send them over. I still need to buy some things to take with me. The truck can't hold everything." Reno had estimated the approximate weight and volume of the goods when he came. Eight out of ten, he couldn't take them away with this truck.

Therefore, he didn't rush to kill the people here just now, especially since these people seemed to be ordinary laborers, and there was no need to kill them all.

After discussing the next steps, the round-faced sturdy man immediately called back the workers who had just run away and loaded Reno's goods onto the truck.

With two trucks loaded to the brim, plus the truck Reno drove over, a total of three trucks swaggered through the streets at night, from the civilian area into the ordinary city area, under the strange gaze of passersby, swaggering toward the factory area.

Facing the strange gazes of passersby, the stronghold boss Victor's face was gloomy, and his heart was pounding incessantly.

This is bad!

He had run this black market stronghold in the city for so many years, and he had never been so high-profile!

He was afraid he would be taken away for tea by the bald guy from the Garrison Department tomorrow!
