Chapter 273: Mysterious Channel
After the gift-receiving session, the atmosphere in the box became much more relaxed, regardless of the previous situation.
Hong Chenle is also a very talkative person, chatting with everyone about recent interesting things, talking and laughing to make the atmosphere very lively, and then directly drank with everyone.
The person who can become the leader of the mercenary group must usually socialize a lot, and the amount of alcohol is very good, but Su Mo is more careful when drinking.
Shangguan Li also reminded Su Mo in a low voice halfway: "You drink less, I heard the middleman say that you don't drink very well, don't drink too much for a while." ā
Su Mo said that he was very gazed.
After three rounds of drinking, Abraham, the nominal organizer, finally spoke, stroking his palms and smiling: "Everyone, I am really very pleased to see the crow's nest and you rebuild it. I don't know if it's inconvenient for me to make a reluctant request? ā
Hyun Hye crossed the rosary and said with a smile, "Please speak." ā
Abraham let out a sigh and said earnestly, "You don't know that there has been a lot of turmoil on the border lately. ā
"Originally, according to the experience of previous years, after the results of the king's election, there should be a period of peace."
"But this year, there are some groups that don't follow the rules, and it's clear that all major groups have publicly expressed their tendencies, and those groups still don't accept the Gray Gang."
"You said that the Crow's Nest respects the will of the people and has no opinion on the outcome, and I don't know what the group is dissatisfied with. Anyway, they are doing things all day long during this time, and they are making chickens and dogs jump. ā
Su Mo smiled slightly: "You don't want that group of people, them or something, just make it clear, it's a wolf attack, right?" ā
Abraham: "That's right, it's a wolf attack, they don't recognize the results of the king's election, they have repeatedly attacked the crow's nest and the Dead Ashes, and they have set off several rounds of bloody conflicts. ā
Shangguan glanced at him: "What does it matter to us about the internal struggle of your border groups?" ā
Abraham's eyes became deep, like a scheming old fox, and he said slowly: "I called you here this time, because I want to ask for your cooperation, and the price is easy to discuss." ā
Lucifer scoffed, "I'll just say, huh? It's a meal, and it's a gift for no reason, which is so simple, step by step to fish us in, right? ā
Abraham covered his heart and smiled peacefully: "I am a businessman, and I pay more attention to business etiquette, and I don't mean to set a trap for you." ā
Park Sang-woo held the back of his head with both hands, leaned back in the chair and thoughtfully said: "Wolf attack is a hard bone."
"It's just the others, even if it's an elite backbone like the "Red Wolf" Hibel, it's not impossible to deal with it if it's well designed, but we can't afford to provoke the "Wolf King"."
Park Seung-woo: "My brother is right! ā
Lucifer was also rarely serious, squinted his eyes and said: "The wolf attack is nothing without the wolf king, but the big problem is that there is a wolf king." ā
"My dad said that according to the assessment of the company's intelligence department, the wolf king can penetrate the rusty wall with physical strength, and the 'blue wolf blood code' in her body is at least "over-limit mid-level", maybe it's a "super-limit high-level"."
"The blood code is originally a power system that increases more and more, and it is at least one big level higher than us, I'm afraid that the combined Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon is not enough for the Wolf King to fight alone."
Chiyo Kanna thought for a moment and asked, "Is there no way for your company?" Can't you get some masters to kill the wolf king? ā
Lucifer said helplessly: "Here in the Crescent City branch, there are not many masters whose blood code has reached the 'super limit level', and they may not be able to kill the wolf king if they are sent out, and they will be damaged if they are not good." ā
Chiyo Kanna: "Why don't you ask for someone from the headquarters?" ā
Lucifer sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "The management can't pull the face." Asking for someone from the headquarters means telling the boss - I don't have enough skills to handle the affairs in my own jurisdiction. ā
"Those old foxes don't do such self-deprecating things. Unless one day the wolf king directly threatens the interests of the management, they will not spend their money. ā
Chiyo Kanna complained: "Deceive the upper and lower levels, rush for quick success, utilitarianism kills people." ā
Shangguan Li looked sideways at Abraham and summarized everyone's words: "To put it bluntly, we can't afford to provoke a wolf attack. The Grey Gang came to us, and they were looking for the wrong person. ā
Abraham smiled meaningfully, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to ask you to deal with the wolf attack. ā
Shangguan Li: "Then why are you mentioning this?" ā
Abraham smiled and said, "We've found someone else to deal with the wolf attack over there." In the next period of time, the border will be quite chaotic, and we don't want the situation to be more chaotic, so."
"From today onwards, I hope you can keep your distance from the border and don't take advantage of the chaos to get involved."
Lucifer was furious, slapped the table and scolded: "*Civilization Crescent*! One by one, they talk like farts, just now the surname Hong said that he wanted to fix with us, and now you tell us not to come! Have fun with us, huh? Believe it or not, kill you on the spot! ā
Seeing that everyone's faces were cold, Abraham showed a kind expression, and his hands were pressed weakly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, there is no intention of not letting you eat this bowl of rice on the border." Boss Hong and I agree that we welcome all mercenaries back to the frontier. ā
"It's just that in the recent period, I also ask the mercenaries to avoid it for the time being. I don't ask you for any help, as long as you don't get involved, especially don't help the wolves attack over there, it's enough. ā
"After we have eliminated the wolf attack, Boss Hong and I will invite you to dinner again. When the time comes, the Crow's Nest and the Ashes will both welcome all mercenary friends back, and at the same time present generous gifts, what do you think? ā
The mercenary group leaders present all fell into deep thought at this time.
Those who can become the seven stars of the crescent moon are not fools, and they can see that today's meal is a gentle delaying tactic by the border forces.
Don't look at Hong Chenle and Abraham's mouths are good, full of mercenary brothers, one by one.
They just had a lot of pressure in the face of the wolf attack, and they didn't want to have another incident, so they used generous gifts to stabilize the mercenaries first.
When they really deal with the wolf attack and ease up, whether it will be another face, it's really hard to say.
After all, border groups and mercenaries have never been all the way, so why should they share the cake they can eat by themselves?
But even if they can see through it, there seems to be no better choice for the mercenaries.
The other party gave real money and didn't say anything.
Really getting involved and causing trouble, annoying the Crownest and the Dead Greys, it's a lose-lose thing, and nothing good is done.
After all, the Crow's Nest and the Dead Ash Gang are still old groups, and their style of doing things has always been inherited and there are traces to follow.
Wolves attack this emerging group, there is too little known information, and it is unpredictable to figure out their background.
If Wolf Attack really has the ability to kick out the Crow's Nest and the Ashes Gang, and control the entire border, is it a good thing for the mercenaries? Not necessarily.
Staying out of the way and not helping anywhere seems to be the best choice.
Gradually, all the mercenary captains have such a conclusion in their hearts.
Seeing the eyes of the people, Abraham had a rough idea in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then it seems that we are"
Halfway through his words, Su Mo suddenly interrupted: "The helper you are looking for by the Dead Ash Gang and the Crow's Nest is the 'King of Mercenaries' Zhou Hannian. ā
Su Mo's words silenced the atmosphere for a few seconds.
Although it was none of the business of everyone present who the Dead Ashes were looking for, they were still curious.
However, Abraham obviously had no intention of informing, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to tell about this, maybe it is, maybe it isn't." ā
Su Mo shrugged: "If it's not, I didn't say it." But if it's really Zhou Hannian, I'm curious, the prosthetics on his body are all "dreadnought-level", and the wolf king shouldn't be advantageous, right? What else did he think of? ā
Abraham's words are still not leaking: "Captain Su is a little preconceived, how can we expect that we are looking for Zhou Hannian?" It has been more than 50 years since the establishment of the Dead Ash Gang, and there is nothing else, but there are many connections. ā
"If you are really interested in this matter, why don't you join the cooperation with the edge? Then we can give the answer. ā
Su Mo smiled casually: "I don't have the guts, when the wolf king comes to knock on my door, I will have to die young." I'm just curious about your plans and want to learn a lot. ā
Lucifer narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "The surname is Su, why do I listen to you like you're talking nonsense?" ā
Su Mo: "What's the use of me taking the words away?" Is it possible to report the wolf attack? You don't think I've anything to do with those crazy people. ā
Lucifer: "I don't believe that you have any contact with the wolf attack, I specifically asked my dad about this, and he said no, then no." ā
"But all along, it's not just me, but my father's intelligence agents think you're not right, because you have a very strange information channel."
Speaking of this, his expression and tone became gloomy: "I'll just ask you something, how did you know about the hiding place of Muto Toei's family?" ā
This sentence immediately plunged the surroundings into a dead silence, all sounds disappeared, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
Even the polite smiles on the faces of Hong Chenle and Abraham were gone, and they just looked at Su Mo so deeply.
Lucifer's sneer broke the dead silence: "That information was only known to Muto Toei himself and Hong Quansheng, the former leader of the Crow's Nest, and it was never leaked to the outside world, even the intelligence officers under my father's command. ā
"At that time, you were just a small mercenary who had just entered the industry, whether you had strength or not, and who had no connections, and your information was actually better than the intelligence department of the company?"
"Tell me, where did you get your information? What secret do you hide? ā
Su Mo and Lucifer looked at each other, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Hong Chenle didn't have any expression on his face, and his flat tone was full of oppression: "Tell me, Commander Su, where did your intelligence come from?" ā
The hostage incident in Xinghai Theater was a large-scale incident that affected the new Moon City, and the mercenary captains present had all witnessed Su Mo's "feat" at that time, and they were also entangled with the same questions in their hearts.
They all looked at Su Mo with deep eyes at this time, and looked at Su Mo quietly.
The air was as muddy as cement, and it was so oppressive that it was a little breathless.
Silent.
Deathly silence.
Just as Summer and Lucifer looked at each other.
His phone screen suddenly lit up, and a message came.
Qi Zero is a little monster: [Look at the other side]
Su Mo was stunned for a moment after catching a glimpse.
Look at the other side?
He looked subconsciously.
Sitting across from him was Lucifer.
In the corner behind Lucifer, there is a row of small service robots in standby state.
One of the robots suddenly activated, facing Sumer, and the [QwQ] symbol appeared on the display.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment, and under his blank gaze, the little robot started the silent mode and left the room.
Moments later, it returned, holding an oversized cream cake on its robotic arm.
Seeing that Su Mo stayed there and didn't speak, Lucifer thought that he had been asked, and sneered, "Oh? It seems that Captain Su is hiding deeply. Honchenle, Abraham, be careful, people like that."
Lucifer was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed a small robot coming to the side.
He looked at the oversized cream cake in the little robot's hand and asked unhappily, "Which of you ordered the cake?" The thing I hate the most is cream. ā
Small Robot Display:
ć(///~Dish~)Oć
"Smack!" With a flick of its robotic arm, it slapped the cream cake in Lucifer's face.
Everyone was instantly stunned.
Lucifer was covered with cake, his face was covered with white cream, and he could directly cosplay Santa Claus by wearing a Little Red Riding Hood.
The sudden change made him freeze there, unable to react for a while.
The people around were also dumbfounded, looking at Lucifer with a creamy face.
There was a dead silence for several seconds.
"Click." Su Mo also picked up his phone very immorally and took an embarrassing photo of Lucifer.
Finally, Lucifer came to his senses, and he yelled "Mommy Fake" and kicked him violently.
"Bang!" The little robot slammed into the wall and became paralyzed.
Lucifer rushed over in a rage, smashed the little robot into scrap metal, and then continued to beat the rows of standby little robots to vent his anger.
The waiter at the restaurant quickly rushed over when he heard the movement, and hurriedly reassured Lucifer: "This guest, calm down, calm down." ā
Lucifer wiped a handful of cream from his face, grabbed the waiter's collar and yelled, "Who did it?!" *Civilization Crescent* asks you who did it?! Who controls the robot? Get the hell out of here! ā
The waiter looked confused: "Robot? It could be a system failure! For this guest, Longmen Restaurant will pay for your laundry, and today's meal can also be discounted. ā
Lucifer pushed him away: "I'll you!" How much money do you have to lose?! ā
Lucifer looked back at the crowd, except for Abraham and Hong Chenle, whose faces were embarrassed, and the rest were snickering.
He was so angry that his face turned grim, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he could only leave a cruel sentence: "You guys are laughing and waiting for me." ā
After saying that, he left indignantly.
The sudden cake paste face broke the original stiff atmosphere, and with Lucifer leaving, the remaining group leaders also stayed for a short time, and they all got up to say goodbye.
Before Su Mo left the table, he walked towards Hong Chenle and leaned over to his ear: "Boss Hong, do you want to know what happened to Muto Dongying?" ā
Hong Chenle looked serious and pricked up his ears to listen.
Su Mo spoke slowly and said seriously.
"Guess."
After speaking, he patted Hong Chenle on the shoulder and whistled away.
Looking at Su Mo's departing back, Hong Chenle's face couldn't help but twitch. (End of chapter)
