“I didn’t expect the mission to be against Alvin, that’s my senior, we’re very close. He is the person who trusts me the most in this world, no one. I’m naturally willing to guard, no reason needed.
So, Raylan, I know I will influence you and there will come a day when I will confront you as an enemy, and I hope you won’t show mercy, let’s each take what we need and both do our best.”
“With you, you think you’ll be my opponent?”
The man raised his eyebrows, the eyes are full of contempt and disdain.
“Is that so?”
Adriana had a rare smile, but that smile was full of bitterness.
Flashing shimmering eyes gazed at Raylan, “On the island we were part of a group and didn’t have a chance to spar. This time, it might be worth a try. I will try my best, if it really comes to life and death, dying in your hands is better than being taken out by others.”
She said it openly, casually, seemingly unafraid of life and death.
Raylan dropped his cigarette and started the sedan to leave.
Back at the hotel, each went to his own room.
As he closed the door, Raylan’s cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, it was Solomon’s phone.
“Something?”
He had a cold attitude.
It is always that kind of nature, treating people with extreme indifference.
“Raylan, I know you are different from Adriana. But this time is tight, you must complete the task, not because of Adriana’s selfishness alone affect your life. I’m waiting for your triumphant return.”
Solomon opened the door and spoke directly and frankly.
Raylan walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, raised his hand to lift the curtain, and stood there looking at the large city of Los Angeles, tall buildings, the road is full of traffic, people are as small as ants.
Suddenly there is a feeling inside, feeling that people are actually very small, and the meaning of living is why?
“What if Adriana insists on protecting that person?”
“Kill!”
Just one word, let Raylan light as water heart up ripples, rhetorical question: “when the initial entry into the island to sign a deed of life and death did not sign. You are a bit unkind to do so.”
“What, you’re speaking for Adriana?”
“We are members of the same group, and how you treat Adriana is how you will treat us in the future. It’s hard to convince people.”
“It’s true that you didn’t sign the deed of life and death, but that doesn’t mean Adriana didn’t sign it. This is a decision of the superiors, not to be refuted, only to be carried out. I suppose you don’t want to stay on the island for the rest of your life, do you?”
A statement made Raylan speechless, do not know how to retort.
“I clearly remember Adriana entering the island in a week-long coma, so how did she sign a life and death contract?”
“That’s not something you need to know. It’s not just Adriana, one other member of your group has a life and death contract. raylan, you’ve said too much today.”
After saying that, Solomon simply hung up the phone.
Things are gradually moving in another direction, leaving Raylan with a tricky feeling of how to handle it.
Knock Knock-
At that moment, there was a knock on the room door.
Raylan put down his phone, walked to the door and pulled it open.
Adriana stood in the doorway, carrying a bottle of red wine and two tall glasses in her hands as she walked in. “Drink with me.”
She said.
“Give up your life for a gentleman.”
Raylan smiled.
Adriana looked back and couldn’t help but tease, “With that far-fetched smile, you talked to Solomon on the phone?”
“Really nothing escapes you.”
Raylan, with his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, stood at the table looking down at Adriana, who was pouring a drink, and asked, “How did you get to the island in the first place? As far as I know, everyone who can appear on the island is not simple, either behind the power of amazing. I am very interested, might as well tell me to hear? All as a story to drink.”
“Huh.”
His words caused Adriana to raise her lips in a smile, “I’ve only heard people talk about downers, I haven’t heard stories about downers.”
Adriana picked up a glass of red wine and handed it to Raylan, a glass of red wine for herself, clinked glasses with him and took a sip, “Showing up on the island was an accident. Would you believe me if I said I didn’t have a choice?”
From the time she fell unconscious at sea, to the time she opened her eyes, Adriana had no idea how long she had been unconscious, or who had saved her.
When I opened my eyes it was Raylan and the guys in the dorm.
She didn’t ask much, and she didn’t want to ask much.
It wasn’t until Harlee appeared in front of her a few days ago that all the questions came to the surface.
“And who signed the life and death contract for you?”
“A life and death contract?”
The deed of life and death, as the name implies, the moment you sign your name and pledge, life and death are in accordance with the will of God.
“I … don’t know.”
She was a little stunned.
Eyelids drooping slightly, eyes twinkling, Harlee’s figure comes to mind.
“Raylan, can you do me a favor?”
Raylan sat on a single couch to one side, raised his glass, clinked it with hers, and took a sip.
And then, said, “Just ask.”
“Help me investigate a person, I want all his information, the more detailed the better. I know your identity must not be simple, the power behind how I am not clear, but I can also guess a few points. The commission is half a million.”
Although the two are members of the same group, the island is highly competitive and a group can have fierce and brutal rivalries, and not everyone sees each other as friends.
Since he wants his help, he is bound to pay the price he deserves.
“No problem.”
Raylan agreed without even thinking about it.
Jingle Bell-
At that moment, Adriana’s cell phone rang.
Adriana pulled out her cell phone and saw that it was Solomon’s call.
She subconsciously glanced at Raylan before answering, “Sir?”
“You come back immediately now, I have sent someone to pick you up. You don’t have to participate in this mission.”
“That mission …”
“The mission was carried out.”
“I’m not going back.”
As soon as she heard that someone was going to carry out a mission, still the assassination of Alvin, Adriana refused to go back.
“That’s an order!”
“Sorry, can’t obey.”
“You …”
Solomon tried to say something else when Adriana simply hung up the phone.
Leaving the phone on the table, she poured herself another glass of wine, tilted her head and poured it in, sighing, “Starting today, maybe we are enemies. The next time we meet, I want you to give me the investigation information and give you every cent of the commission. From now on, we are old enemies.”
Adriana’s vermilion lips raised a little arc, poured herself another glass of wine, walked to Raylan and clinked glasses with him, “Nice to meet you, I’m very relaxed with you for two and a half years, and you are also a teacher and a friend, but there is no such thing as a banquet, from now on we will no longer be friends.”
Ding–
Crisp and pleasant sound of the collision of glasses sounded, Adriana did not wait for Raylan to speak, raised the glass to drink the wine …
“Don’t drink it.”
Raylan clutched her wrist, “Drinking or not won’t solve the problem, so why buy drunk?”
“You don’t understand.”
Adriana brushed his hand away, “Give me the bank card account number.”
“Good.”
Raylan does not lack money, and even treats it like dirt.
But Adriana asked, and he immediately went and got a pen and paper and wrote down a series of bank card numbers for her.
