Chapter 698: I’m afraid my deceased father will come back alive from his coffin Part Two (1/2)

The 3 of Diamonds: “So where is he?”

The Jack of Diamonds’s eyes drifted a bit, and he looked towards the courtyard outside the corridor with his gaze somewhat far away as he said, “He violated the protocol. The vision of the Dragon Division is to put the interests of the country above all else, but he chose the latter between the Dragon Division and a woman. He didn’t have enough awareness, so he was fired.”

– The distant Land of Mercenaries –

Xu Cheng was watching the sunset from the balcony of the temporary government building built by the Continental Mercenary Corps. Li Wei who was behind him, came over and handed him a cigarette.

Xu Cheng took it and lit it up; after taking two puffs, he said, “Among the things I’ve been planning, there is one thing I can’t get a grasp of.”

Li Wei: “What?”

Xu Cheng: “I can understand why Grandpa Ye treats me well, but the five other elderly who are working their lives for me, including their family members who were all willing to accept me. Isn’t this a little bit too much? I admit that I’m outstanding, but they didn’t know how outstanding I was back then. They are the five most powerful families, and they were pulling strings for me, who had no status, no background, and no money. Grandpa Ye even directly recognized Aunt Lan as his goddaughter, thus taking care of my feelings, and the other four families were all competing to marry Auntie Lan. I can’t think of why.”

Li Wei: “Then don’t think about it, you have a lot of things to think about now.”

Xu Cheng shook his head: “No, I feel like it’s another trap if I don’t think it through.”

Li Wei smiled bitterly. “Right now, you are not any different from risking your life away, what other traps would you be scared of?”

“True.” Xu Cheng nodded.” What do you think about this matter with Mr. R today?”

Li Wei: “I feel that these capitalists aren’t as simple as we thought. It seems like we’ve touched something we shouldn’t have this time by entering into the Land of Mercenaries.”

Xu Cheng smiled bitterly. “But we’ve already made our move. Now we can be certain that the experts in this world are far from being limited to just the SSS rank. I was wondering why legendary experts weren’t being recruited by others, it turns out those guarding the capitalist empires are even stronger than legendary!”
