At the heart of the Civic Center, the Tower of Babel stands tall.

The building is surrounded by three separate towers with a height of more than a kilometer, spaced 100 meters apart, and connected by corridors on each floor.

As night falls, the city's neon lights frame the Tower of Babel, and the surface of the towering building reflects a flickering light, like a galaxy of countless stars.

Between the glass curtain walls, holograms are constantly scrolling, forming three sets of patterns in each of the three towers.

The double helix symbolizes the supreme mystery of mankind.

A bust of a robot with red eyes glowing red.

A white dragon with wings outstretched and breathing furiously.

Three sets of motifs float at the highest point of the city, declaring the supreme power and status of humanity.

This Tower of Babel is where the branch of the Co., Ltd., the Iron and Blood Consortium, and the Black Domain Group in Crescent City is located.

The three giants sit in a tower, far apart, but they are as closely connected as they are in this world.

They are hostile to each other, and they have formed many blood feuds in the past hundred years, and their hands are stained with their own blood.

But one thing is not going to change.

They are the rulers of the world, the supreme human elite.

They can fight each other and kill rivers of blood.

But they will not allow any outsiders to challenge the status of the human elite.

All living beings can only look up at them, just like facing an undesecrated god, and anyone who dares to offend authority will be killed like a thunderbolt.

The three towers of Babel all have 200 floors.

On the 199th floor of the Hezi Tower, in the office under one person and above ten thousand people, Zhao Yiming is looking at the night view of Crescent City.

Floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the city's lights, neon-lit streets stretch like a galaxy, and distant bridges, traffic, and bustling urban scenes glitter among the skyscrapers.

Zhao Yiming was dressed in an elegant suit emblazoned with a double helix logo, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, the dark red liquid glowing seductively under the lights.

The office stereo is clearly playing a sentence of human voice, if you listen carefully, you will find that it is the conversation between Su Mo and Wen Ye and others in the box on the top floor of the White Diamond Hotel.

"Master Wen, juniors thank you for your respect. But as you said before, if you don't even understand the Grace Chart, then I don't want to be a mercenary, and don't even be a human being. ”

"Young man, don't regret it."

Hearing Su Mo's refusal to reject Master Wen, Zhao Yiming let out a cheerful laugh, and said to himself: "Lao Wen, you are really old, useless, and even lost the sharpness of the year, and you no longer even have the wisdom to know people." ”

"If he will back down because of a few words from you, and he doesn't even have the courage to stand up to the whole world, what will he use to become the king of mercenaries?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yiming changed his words, shook the wine in the cup, and continued to mutter: "However, young people, the words of the elders still have to be listened to. ”

"You're still very weak, just a little chick, too weak to withstand any ups and downs, and you just run outside the greenhouse, and your feathers will get wet."

He raised his glass and saluted the edge buildings that stood at the far end of the city line, the endless lights illuminating the sinister smile in those eyes.

"You need an umbrella, one worthy of you."

The meeting at the White Diamond Hotel broke up unhappily, and news quickly spread far and wide.

The results naturally surprised everyone.

No one expected that Su Mo's attitude would be so resolute, and he didn't even give face to Wen Ye, a big man in the industry, and was bound to go all the way to the dark.

For a while, the intermediaries who used to work closely together called one after another, and a large part of them explicitly stated that they wanted to cut ties with the margins.

At this time, Summer was answering a call from Dress.

In the earpiece, Dresser's helpless laughter came: "Old Su, this may be the last time we talk on the phone." ”

"Before you scolded me at the door of the building, I didn't really take it to heart. Confidantees, they really should be well protected, I can understand that. ”

"If you can survive this catastrophe, it will be a phoenix, and I will have to be your little follower in the future."

"But how can you refute Master Wen's face? I just can't figure it out. ”

"If you want to die, then I really have no choice but to hide away. I don't want to spill blood. ”

"Oh, think about how happy we were when we first met, you and I have a bright future and a bright future, how did we get to where we are today?"

"Old Su, don't blame me for being ruthless. The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. I still want to eat this bowl of rice for the mercenary, so I can only say goodbye to you. ”

"Okay, let's not talk more, so be it. Delete each other, don't contact each other in the future. ”

After Dressy finished speaking, he hung up the phone unilaterally.

Su Mo put down his phone, picked up the list in his hand, and silently crossed Dress's name.

At this time, a text message came.

O'Diana: [Available?] Please go up and have a drink]

Su Mo looked out the window, and there was a person standing at the door of the edge building, it was O'Diana.

She came alone, without any bodyguards.

Su Mo hesitated for a moment and called the front door guard: "Let the Earl Lady come in and take her to the bar room zero on the 80th floor." ”

Summer put the wine and snacks for hospitality in Box Zero, and O'Diana came in.

She wore a black mink coat and long heeled boots, her long curly hair languidly draped over her shoulders, and her flaming red lips contrasted with her snow-white skin.

However, in that coldness, it can be seen that she is slightly tired, and she has obviously not rested well during this time.

O'Diana leaned against the door and looked at Su Mo with a smile: "I thought you would stop me outside like you did with Dresser." ”

Su Mo quipped: "I just followed the Earl's Lady when I first entered the industry, and I was brought up by you, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are my second mother." I'm going to give you face anyway. ”

O'Diana chuckled lightly and deliberately straightened her face and said, "Boy, be careful when you speak, I'm only in my early thirties, and I'm not old enough to be your mother." ”

Su Mo folded his hands and waved them, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, offended, please take a seat." ”

O'Diana sat down, took out the antique cigarette gun from her bag, and asked Su Mo about it.

Su Mo motioned for a please.

Odiana lit the tobacco and inhaled slowly, her eyes full of complicated expressions looming in the smoke, and she was speechless for a long time.

Summer opened two bottles of beer, one in front of Odiana, and one in his own hands and took a sip.

The atmosphere was silent, neither of them spoke, only the faint sound of tobacco burning.

I don't know how long it took, Su Mo took the initiative to speak: "There have been a lot of things recently, and time is precious, so I won't hide it, and directly asked if you are also here to cut off relations with me?" ”

O'Diana smoked a cigarette and did not answer Su Mo's question immediately, but asked rhetorically: "How many people in the partner want to break off relations with you?" ”

Su Mo said lightly: "It's more than half." Although the rest of the people did not explicitly say that they wanted to break off the relationship, they all said vaguely that they would not help me and let me do my own thing. ”

O'Diana: "So what exactly do you think?" didn't even give Wen Ye's face. That's a living legend in the mercenary world. ”

Su Mo: "What touches on the basic principles, if you do, you can't, if you can't, you can't, and I won't compromise because of anyone's face." ”

O'Diana seemed to recall something, her eyes were a little confused, and she smiled: "It's your style." When you didn't even start a business, you dared to directly confront me for a little border mouse, and I knew that you were different from other snobs. ”

"From the day we met, I've watched you grow step by step. I have always believed that you will one day reach the top of the mercenary world, and I will silently look up to you at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"But this time, IMHO, your odds are really slim. If you fall like this, all your previous efforts will be in vain. ”

Su Mo drank the beer in his hand and said calmly: "Lady Earl, you don't have to have any scruples, just say it directly." ”

"If you want to break off your relationship, I totally understand and I will never hold a grudge. I will repay you for the care you have given me before. ”

"Click." Suddenly, a memory chip was placed on the table by O'Diana.

Su Mo looked at it and was stunned for a moment: "This is?" ”

O'Diana slowly puffed out a cigarette, and those eyes loomed in the smoke, and it was difficult to see the bottom: "This is my secret communication list, accumulating the most valuable contacts I have been in the industry for more than ten years. ”

"There are mercenaries in the inner city, thugs in the frontiers, chaebol elites, and important members of the authorities, everyone in them is carefully selected by me, and you can trust them as much as you trust me."

"How to get in touch, what code to use, it's all sorted out inside, and they will do everything they can to help you. Take it, take it and protect Nobai. ”

Su Mo stared blankly at the chip in front of her, if it was really like what O'Diana said, it was the result of her life's struggle.

Su Mo asked blankly, "Why do you want to?"

Suddenly, his tie was grabbed.

O'Diana dragged him over, and the two were so close to each other that Su Mo could even smell the strange mixture of tobacco and perfume on her body.

O'Diana grabbed the hair on the back of Sumer's head, her flaming red lips to his ear, and her magnetic voice was full of unshakable determination:

"Housheng, I bet you can win!"

After the meeting, Summer stood at the door of the Edge Mansion and watched Odiana go away with his companions.

Su Mo looked at the floating car that flew into the sky, and said softly: "You say, if there is a woman who takes care of you growing up, she sincerely celebrates you when you are developed, and does not dislike you when you lose power. ”

"You're in trouble, and everyone thinks you're dead, but she's standing behind you, believing in you as always. So who is this woman? ”

Dong Dong thought about it for a while, and said seriously: "Mom." ”

After hearing this, Su Mo's breathing became heavier, and he unconsciously covered his face and began to rub his eyes.

Dongdong asked with concern, "Boss, what's wrong?" ”

Su Mo took a long breath and let go of his hand, revealing a pair of red teary eyes, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I miss my mom."

With O'Diana's help, Summer prepares to change her plans.

After a few days of recuperation, although Nuobai was still affected by python venom, he was in a coma and did not wake up.

But her vital signs were much more stable than they had been before, and Su Mo was going to move her away.

The air route is definitely not good, and in the current situation on the edge, I don't know how many drones are staring in the sky.

The target of the airlift is too obvious, and once it encounters an accident, it is difficult for people to resist in the air.

If you want to secretly transfer Nuo Bai out of Crescent City and place her in a safe place, you can only take land transportation.

Land transportation means camouflage, rusty checkpoints, and border thugs.

According to Su Mo's original connections, it is almost impossible to transfer the severance of diplomatic relations and the avoidance of suspicion.

But O'Diana's connections were like a send-off, allowing Su Mo to do it freely.

Not to mention that the whole process is seamless, at least the risk is controllable, and the safety is much lower than staying in the edge building.

After all the links were finalized, Su Mo personally escorted Nuobai downstairs through the secret passage and transferred him into a disguised van.

In the past few days, the marginal mercenaries have been stationed in the building, and all kinds of daily necessities are consumed very quickly, and there will be many such vans carrying supplies in and out every day, mixed in the inconspicuous at all.

After settling Nuobai, Su Mo found Chu Nanyi alone and advised: "Xiao Chu, for the sake of safety, I will personally escort Nuobai this time." ”

"In order not to be exposed on the road, our car has to turn off all communication equipment, and you may not be able to contact me in time. In the few days I was away, the edge could not be left unmanaged. ”

"Among the peers I can trust, there is no relevant experience in the future, KK is too young, Dongdong's personality is too impulsive, and Qiling has just arrived and is not familiar with the team."

"Although you are usually not serious, I know that you are much more mature than them at heart. I'll leave this matter to you, help me take care of everyone. ”

Chu Nanyi put away his usual style of hanging children, and smiled at Su Mo: "Don't worry, head of the group, I know what to do." ”

Su Mo nodded heavily at Chu Nanyi, boarded the van and left quietly.

Nuobai's transfer process was very secretive, the rumors did not leak out at all, and the entire edge building was sealed off as always, creating the illusion that she was still here.

In the early morning of the second day after Su Mo and Wen Ye's talks collapsed, the mercenaries from all walks of life resumed their attacks on the edge building.

In the afternoon of the same day, Schenkov's side finally couldn't hold it anymore, and it was useless to lie in the ICU and pretend to be dead, so he could only send security forces over.

However, the security forces came to check, and Su Mo actually disappeared, and it was Chu Nanyi who was in charge.

When I went to the medical layer again, Nuobai was gone.

Only then did the outside world realize that Su Mo had transferred Nuo Bai unconsciously, and she was not in the Edge Mansion at all now.

Various mercenaries and killers tried to track Su Mo, but his transfer was too stealthy, and he didn't show his feet the whole time, and he didn't know where he took people.

As soon as the bounty target disappeared, the edge building was taken over by the security forces, and there was no point in attacking again, and the attackers dispersed.

The crisis seems to have been resolved.

But

This stealthy shift angered the "players" behind the scenes.

A new storm is brewing. (End of chapter)
