The few grumbling mercenaries didn't think they would be ambushed.
Even more so, they didn't know how powerful the one who ambushed them was!
In the past, they were so proud of their skills and marksmanship but now, they couldn't even withstand a single blow. It could even be said that they couldn't even react to the situation and fell into a pool of blood.
After Kieran confirmed the death of the mercenaries, he glanced over the surroundings calmly.
It seemed like he didn't kill a few mercenaries that a common man couldn't even look up to but a few ants that he casually squashed.
In fact?
It wasn't much different.
Kieran would never show mercy to his enemies.
Neither would he show mercy to them.
Kieran would politely decline the luxury that came at the cost of his life.
As for the strength that a common man couldn't even look up to?
That was just a common man. For Kieran, killing a few mercenaries that weren't fully armed was too easy.
According to the building blueprint that Anne Aldrich Augen provided, the hall before him was one of the main buildings of the club.
The entire main building could be divided into two floors. The first floor was completely open to the public, with a huge bar counter. Behind the bar counter were a variety of outdoor products for sale and rent. On the other side of the bar counter was a small locked door, which was the 'gun room' that was hidden from the public.
Of course, the gun room was only for the guests. Inside the gun room were hunting rifles.
For this batch of mercenaries, the real gun room was in the basement.
However, the basement had to be entered from the second floor, the first floor didn't have any entrance or exit.
The second floor was the resting room and entertainment room for the mercenaries.
At the moment, the mercenaries that gathered on the second floor were clamoring.
Kieran raised a brow when he heard the clamor and curses.
Symede Augen obviously had a grand scheme. It wasn't just the so-called mayor title but he truly wanted to control Edland City in his hands.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to form a mercenary group and gather fighters in the dark.
However, the mercenaries that Symede Augen recruited might have quite decent combat power on the battlefield, even when compared to a real army, they weren't inferior at all.
But that was it.
Other than that, the mercenaries' discipline and organization couldn't even compare to the bodyguards of Augen Manor.
Especially after the news of Symede Augen's death spread out, the discipline of the team became even more lax.
At least when Kieran snuck into Augen Manor, he still had to avoid the overt and covert sentries.
But here?
It really was a straight line.
Glancing at the staircase leading to the second floor once more, Kieran did not go straight up. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the corridor at the side of the hall.
This corridor connects to the annex of the club.
It was a place that outsiders and mercenaries were not allowed to enter.
Because the place was where Symede Augen's true reliance resided.
The four Grandmasters of Combat led by Zaigen.
Compared to the undisciplined mercenaries, the fighters on the other side of the corridor were the ones that Kieran paid attention to.
Even though Zaigen had died in his hands and Tony, who was Symede Augen's driver and bodyguard, had died in the Winchester House's explosion case, Brendel's heart skipped a beat.
However, the other two remained in the club.
Of course, one shouldn't assume that the two fighters who came from the underground fighting scene did it because of the spirit of the contract. It was just that after both of them got the news of Symede Augen and Zaigen's death, they had their eyes set on the enormous wealth that Symede Augen left behind.
Naturally, this wealth included Anne Aldrich Augen.
Both of them even contacted Anne Aldrich Augen in private.
Because of that, Anne Aldrich Augen had no choice but to ask Mayer for help.
Of course, Kieran had reservations about what Anne Aldrich Augen told him. He was more inclined to think that Anne Aldrich Augen was just acting pitiful out of habit, trying to gain sympathy from others.
After all, the title of Black Widow wasn't just for show.
When Anne Aldrich Augen got the news of Symede Augen's death, it was highly possible that she was the first to have her own thoughts after being suppressed.
As for what kind of dirty things were going on inside, Kieran wouldn't and didn't want to interfere.
He knew what he was here for.
Kak!
Using the key that Anne Aldrich Augen prepared, Kieran opened the sealed corridor door and entered in a flash.
The spacious corridor was brightly lit.
When the searchlight opposite the door was lit up, it was even more dazzling to the eyes.
Anyone would instinctively close their eyes in front of such strong light.
Kieran was no exception either.
The moment Kieran closed his eyes, the door opened.
An air-breaking sound sounded.
The sharp wind caused the hairs on Kieran's neck to stand up.
A pair of robust arms even extended out from behind Kieran and hugged Kieran's waist.
"Hey, do you really think we are like those stupid mercenaries who didn't have any precautions?"
A rough voice sounded in Kieran's ears.
The slightly fishy smell made Kieran frown.
He was starting to regret using such a tactic.
Before his S + Intuition, even with the door between them, Kieran was able to sense what happened when the two of them held their breaths.
However, Kieran didn't mind killing the two of them in a less laborious and safer way.
So, he was ready to beat them at their own game.
He purposely stepped into the trap.
However, the stench that entered his nose was really unbearable.
So, Kieran pushed himself with both of his arms.
The shackles formed by the robust arms didn't just break free, it was thrown towards the strong wind in front of Kieran like a sandbag.
The fighter who was thrusting his sword at Kieran turned his steps and dodged the human sandbag, allowing his competitor to crash into the searchlight and scream in pain.
"Trash!"
As the opponent commented on his competitor, the longsword in his hand brought up a series of sword afterimages. As the illusionary and real interchanged, the tip of the sword shrouded Kieran's eyes and throat. After that, the sword-wielding fighter showed a sense of delight on his face. His mind couldn't help but picture Kieran falling to the ground in the middle.
Even for a first-rate fighter, their body could withstand bullets but their eyes and throat were still weak. Especially the former, it could be said that they couldn't even withstand a single blow.
So, in the fighter's heart, he had already sentenced Kieran to death.
He had absolute confidence in his swift sword.
So, when his sword was kicked away by Kieran, the sword-wielding fighter was in disbelief.
Until Kieran's heavy kick landed on his body, only then did the fighter react to the situation.
"Argh!"
An agonizing scream became the last sound the sword-wielding grandmaster of combat left in this world.
"I am willing to serve you, sir, please …"
The buff fighter begged out of instinct but Kieran didn't hold back. After crushing the fighter's throat with a single kick, Kieran conveniently picked up the two green glowing items that popped up from the two dead bodies and looked behind him.
A door separated them.
