General Hawan first won then lost, then won again and lost, repeating this cycle over and over.
Finally, he won enough and relaxed his gambling urge, just like a thirsty person drinking two large bottles of water and no longer feeling parched. His desire to gamble faded, and he lost interest in continuing.
General Hawan approached Flower Snake, bought a bottle of wine at his own expense, and sat opposite Flower Snake drinking this wine he won.
"Looks like General Hawan won and had a great ti, this wine is quite expensive." Flower Snake said with a smile, "I feel a bit guilty for enjoying several complintary drinks from General Hawan."
"Haven’t you treated to drinks nurous tis too? It’s just a small matter; no need to worry about it. With the friendship between us, don’t bother with formalities over a few bottles of wine." General Hawan said leisurely, swirling the wine in his glass.
"I won’t hold back then, better drink more as I rarely get to drink such fine wine." Flower Snake seed quite fond of the drink.
General Hawan laughed heartily, "Flower Snake, stop with the pleasantries. You’re a big boss; what kinds of fine wine haven’t you seen? You must have tasted ones on this level."
"The wine offered by General Hawan is different from others, it shows the general’s intentions. With these feelings, it becos priceless, beyond monetary value." Flower Snake said earnestly.
"Flower Snake sure knows how to sweet-talk, makes a rough guy like feel good when hearing it." General Hawan was quite pleased.
"As long as General Hawan is happy, I toast to you." Flower Snake clinked glasses with him, and their conversation was amicable.
General Hawan paused and then said, "I have a request, hoping Flower Snake would be willing to help?"
"The general can command as needed, if there’s anything I can assist with, just say it." Flower Snake said seriously, "Not to flatter the general’s authority, if you truly need , I’d be honored to help."
"Here’s the thing, you have broad connections on the underworld scene, I want so information on a person?" General Hawan explained.
"Who?" Flower Snake asked, puzzled.
"Peng Bird!" General Hawan blurted out.
"Does the general have a grudge with Peng Bird?" Flower Snake inquired, confused.
"Originally, there wasn’t any grievance, no intersections at all. However, I saved soone, the fifth captain of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps, and coincidentally, Peng Bird was hunting Black Shark, which led to this conflict. My n suffered hundreds of casualties at Peng Bird’s hands. Pursued from the jungle, it’s embarrassing to admit, but I was really chased in a sorry state. I’m sure even now, Peng Bird is secretly watching ." General Hawan said, troubled.
Little did General Hawan know, Peng Bird’s true identity was right beside him; the casino he often visited was owned by Peng Bird.
Flower Snake was one of Peng Bird’s most capable subordinates.
If General Hawan knew this, his reaction would be unimaginable.
Flower Snake pondered for a mont and understood the gist; soone impersonated Peng Bird’s na, accepting the mission to assassinate the fifth captain of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps, even Peng Bird is troubled by this, struggling to find any clues. Now, hearing this from General Hawan, Flower Snake was overjoyed but maintained a calm exterior, revealing nothing unusual.
"Peng Bird?" Flower Snake murmured without emotion, then asked puzzled, "Is it possible the general is mistaken? From what I’ve heard, Peng Bird has always been quite mysterious. There are even rumors saying Peng Bird has retired from being a hitman, why would he openly target the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps? Moreover, opposing the general is suicidal."
She said this, naturally trying to extract more useful information from General Hawan.
"Exactly, just a re hitman, sneaking around doing murder makes one anxious, but now so overt, chasing to flee miserably, truly infuriating." General Hawan exclaid angrily. "Not to overestimate Peng Bird and undermine myself, but Peng Bird is indeed a formidable figure. Peng Bird leads a group of seven, each a sniper expert and strong in close combat. They forced Black Shark to flee to my side, then bullied until I was helpless, truly hateful."
"Have you seen Peng Bird in person?" Flower Snake continued asking, trying to gather more information.
"Yes, among the seven, the most formidable one, exceptionally skilled." General Hawan replied.
"What kind of people are the seven? Are they all experts?" Flower Snake curiously asked further.
"Four n and three won, each one is an expert. As for who they are, that’s unclear. Their faces were sared with paint, making their features indistinct." General Hawan said, quite frustrated.
Flower Snake’s gaze shifted and she said, "I’ve heard Peng Bird accepted the mission to assassinate the fifth captain of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps. Presumably, Peng Bird has so foundation and assurance. My understanding of Peng Bird is limited, mostly hearsay, not much help, sorry for not assisting the general, instead received so much about Peng Bird from you."
"Your position connects with many people, information I can’t access, you surely can reach more people. I believe in investigating, there’ll be results." General Hawan was quite confident in this.
"According to the general, Peng Bird is nearby, sothing valuable to watch. I’ll instruct my n; any suspicious person will be reported to you." Flower Snake promised.
"Since Flower Snake said so, I’m relieved, trusting news on Peng Bird will co soon." General Hawan understood and said, "No need to rush, just put so effort in exploring. No matter if useful clues are found or not, I appreciate your help. Our understanding of Peng Bird is practically nonexistent, can only approach questionable targets. Investigating this way is tough, I understand, just make so effort, you don’t need to stress."
"Thank you for the general’s understanding, but I will certainly try my best." Flower Snake assured.
She curiously asked, "If Peng Bird’s whereabouts are found, how will the general handle it?"
"Peng Bird made flee like a dog without a ho; this disgrace needs avenging. Finding those seven, I’ll leave them without burial grounds, whether it’s by rifle or cannon, I won’t fear, I refuse to believe I can’t eliminate those seven." General Hawan said with murderous intent.
"Damn those impersonating Peng Bird." Flower Snake cursed inwardly, witnessing the trouble brought by the fake Peng Bird, she felt helpless.
General Hawan and Poison Dragon rcenary Corps, these two formidable enemies, truly posed the biggest threats to Peng Bird’s true self.
This is what they call calamity falling from the sky.
