Chapter 55 55:Growing Dissatisfaction
Leon checked on Mike's body for goods. Unfortunately, the guy didn't have a storage ring.
Leon found a couple of 100-dollar notes and one lesser healing potion. Since there wasn't any storage ring so his axe might be the only valuable thing but Leon did not need it.
A while after Leon left, a group of troops arriving at the scene were shocked by the sight before their eyes.
Ron who got up from his jeep sucked cold air seeing the corpse burnt to a crisp. Searching around his eyes fell on a vest with a wolf symbol.
"Th...They are our teammates, "He roared in anger.
"Who...Which asshole ambushed them?"
The members of Wolfgang were just about to check out the scene when reinforcements led by Ironhawk also arrived.
Ron's mind had already been filled with rage seeing his dying comrades burning before his eyes and seeing Ironhawk approaching, he didn't waste time engaging in talks.
"FIRE!"
The two groups had conflicted for quite a while. Upon seeing their enemies, Ron immediately attacked as engaging in further conversation was futile.
The other groups who appeared were also caught up in the fierce tug-war and retaliated. Instantly a fierce battle took place with gunshots and explosions lit up the sky.
Leon, who saw this from afar, started questioning his sanity.
'I believed myself to be a hell of a crazy bastard but these people are even crazier than me.'
As mercenary groups appeared one after another, instead of stopping the war, they joined in the fun and stirred more chaos. Fights went out all night, and then tired by all this, they contained the fire and left.
In the end, Wolfgang managed to bring back the dead comrade's body with grievous wounds created by sniper bullets.
"Looks like they weren't killed by others. They were killed by a sniper, "Foxy, spoke with a solemn expression.
"I don't think there is one. This might be a group," Rose concluded observing everyone.
"How?"Ron asked, startled by her words.
Rose heard an angry woman's voice over the phone which flustered Ye Chen.
"Also, don't disturb me if it isn't important. You can handle this on your own. If you are troubled, just send Felon a voice to send help."Ye Chen spoke hurriedly."Okay Rose take care. And I love you..."
BZZZZZZZ!
Rose looked at the phone with an inexplicable gaze and put it down.

Back in the City, Leon walked straight into Jeremy's office and knocked at the fatso's door repeatedly.
"What happened man? Did you finish your job and want to go home?"Jeremy yawned while walking out of his office.
Leon gave him a cold look and asked"I want more information about the groups."
"Hey man, didn't I give you the map and the location of their campsite?" Jeremy answered with a soft chuckle.
"I need more. Last night, I saw something weird. Every group was caught in the fight and went crazy but for some reason, there wasn't much bloodshed as if they were just playing around so that's what was going on."
Jeremy looked at Leon seriously and then burst into laughter"Ohh! So that's what you are worried about. They didn't fight to death not because they didn't want to, rather they were afraid of the family's sponsors behind them."
"UH!" Leon tilted his head with a questioning look.
Shouldn't it just be pharmaceutical companies? How did things get so much bigger?
"What are they looking for? That lost jewel. Do you know about that thing?"
Jeremy shook his head. It was an act rather he didn't know anything.
"I only know that the Lost Jewel was the treasure of the Mali civilization before it was destroyed and devoured by the forest. In particular, what is this about no one knows for sure but I am damned sure that this isn't about riches or money as the families lack everything except that."
"Just fork out everything you know and also come out with me and arrange some things," Leon said, turning around and looking at the people outside.
"As per your wish, Sir."Jeremy rubbed his hand, casting a greedy smile.
