Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Boss, could it be because of the genetic elixir?!”
A nervous military advisor spoke up. Although the army was still far away from their city, it was still visible that the people in the cars were wearing military uniforms.
“How could it be so soon?!”
The baldly boss was frightened by the arrival of an unknown troop. They had been discussed about the lost genetic elixir of the helicopter crash that all assets belonging to the Reed Group. So soon, a team appeared outside their stronghold?!
“What about the person from the school?”
“He’s still locked up in the prison…”
“Send someone over to find out what they’re here for!” Reluctant to just hand over the collected goods, the boss plan to negotiated with Zhao Yu.
“Yes!”
Soon, under the advisor’s orders, a skinny subordinate, trembling with fear and walked towards Zhao Yu.
“Don’t shoot, I come in peace…”
Zhao Yu instructed his men not to fire. When the man approached, Zhao Yu leaned on the car window and asked, “What place is this?!”
“This is Black Wind Stronghold, normal resident lives here…”
“How many people are living in the stronghold, and do you have any army or weapon?”
“There are over five hundred people in the stronghold, and more than a hundred guns standby for anyone…”
The skinny man didn’t forget the purpose of his mission and cautiously asked, “Sir, may 1 ask why you have come to our Black Wind Stronghold?!”
On his way here, Zhao Yu had also thought about the situation of this mission.
He speculated that it was very likely due to the helicopter crash earlier, someone secretly keeping the genetic elixir here.
The mission was to destroy three vials of genetic elixir, which meant that someone must have brought them here.
So, he decided not to beat around the bush and directly deal with the messenger, “I am a centurion of the Reed Group. One of our helicopters transporting genetic elixirs crashed, and some of the elixirs were lost. According to our investigation, someone brought it here…”
“All?”
The skinny man was startled and quickly claimed ignorance.
Zhao Yu didn’t think he could get anything out of this small fry.” Who is your leader? What’s his name?!”
“Our chief is Li Da Zhuang…”
“Alright, go back and tell your chief to hand over those three elixirs!”
“Yes, yes, I will report back immediately…” The skinny man nodded repeatedly.
“What’s happening?!”
As soon as the skinny man returned, the baldly boss requested him to explain the situation.
“Boss! Bad news, they’re from the Reed Group!”
“What?!”
Although he had a premonition, Li Da Zhuang was still shocked to hear that the army was from the Reed Group.
“What do we do now?!”
The advisor quickly asked, “What did they say?”
The skinny man recounted the entire conversation between the two.
“Three genetic elixirs, they even know the number…”
“We’re doomed!” The baldly boss felt a pang of heartache. He had just obtained them and hadn’t even figured out how to maximize their benefits before the real owners showed up.
However, the advisor has a idea to execute, “Big brother, could they be bluffing us?”
“Hmm?!” Li Da Zhuang calmed down and think about it.
“The guy from the school said that he hid the three genetic elixirs in advance, and others didn’t know about it…”
“After the school business was done, he came here alone to trade with us…”
“This means that the school might not be aware of his deeds…”
According to his understanding, they practiced a public ownership system where all valuables were turned in, calculated for credits, and then distributed among the contributors.
Therefore, it was not a problem for that man to hide the items in advance and sell them privately here, which reflected human selfishness.
The only issue was that he didn’t expect that the leader of Black Wind Stronghold would think of cheating him. But considering he came from the school, this naivety was somewhat understandable.
“So, you mean, we just deny having it?”
“Exactly!”
The advisor nodded: “We firmly deny owning it, what can they do?”
“Hmm…”
Li Da Zhuang nodded: “Let’s do that!”
“Go back again and tell them we don’t know anything about any genetic elixirs…”
Soon, the skinny man relayed Li Da Zhuang’s message to Zhao Yu.
The mission instructions were clear about the location of the three genetic elixirs, they are right inside this stronghold now.
“The genetic elixirs have our group’s trackers on them, and they were inside your stronghold…”
“Go back and tell your boss that if you hand them over now, nothing will happen…”
“If he wants to fight against the Reed Group, the consequence of it will be that the Black Wind Stronghold will be buried along with him!”
The skinny man was terrified and ran back to the stronghold to convey Zhao Yu’s message.
“It’s over!”
Li Da Zhuang was alarmed and instinctively wanted to hand over the three genetic elixirs.
However, the advisor quickly interrupted him “Boss, we can’t hand them over. These elixirs belong to premium quality. With them, both of us could become the residents of Black Stone City…”
“What else can we do if we don’t hand them over? If they attack, who can stop them?!” Li Da Zhuang retorted angrily.
“Boss, my idea is that there aren’t many of them right now, just over a hundred people. If we eliminate them, it will take time for the Reed Group to react…”
“During this time, it’s enough for both of us to flee to Black Stone City. We can trade in the black market, and we’ll be legitimate pay to become the residents of Black Stone City. By that time, even the Reed Group won’t be able to touch us…”
“Will the Reed Group will just let us go?!”
“Who says we are from Black Wind Stronghold?”
“Once we get there, we can just make up any identity. These country bumpkins will never get a chance to enter Black Stone City. Who will recognize us there?”
“That makes sense…”
“Are you sure the three elixirs are enough for us to become the residents of Black Stone City?”
“I’m sure…”
“What if I bring my wife along?”
“Then it might not be enough…”
“Big brother, she’s just a woman. We can always snatch another one later. Besides, once we become the residents of Black Stone City, there will be plenty of women outside the city wanting to throw themselves at us…”
Li Da Zhuang finally made up his mind. “Go tell that centurion that we really haven’t seen any genetic elixirs. Maybe there’s a problem with their tracker!”
“All?”
With that, the skinny man was unwillingly left the stronghold.
Meanwhile, Li Da Zhuang also ordered everyone to gather and prepare for battle.
On the other side, after learning the attitude of stronghold leader Li Da Zhuang from the skinny man, Zhao Yu also made up his mind.
“It looks like we’re going to have a siege battle!”
He could clearly saw that many people in the stronghold had already started equipped with weapons and ammunition, seemingly ready to fight to the end.
Although he didn’t know what the other leader was thinking, if they wanted to fight, then let’s begin!
