Since it was the first day of the expedition to Morris, the Morris government and the royal family had set up a dinner party for the expedition this evening. However, it was noon and the expedition had not organized any activities.

Xu Taiping went downstairs with Song Jia. Just as they were about to leave, Xu Taiping received a call.

"Is it Mr Xu?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the line.

"It's me, and you are?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Oh, I'm Flame Destroyer's liaison officer. We've arrived at Morris City and are currently heading towards the Royal Brilliant Hotel. Are you in the hotel?" the man on the other end of the line asked.

"Oh, I'm at the hotel. Come over." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Xu Taiping said to Song Jia who was beside him, "Wait a moment, the mercenary I found is here."

"Mercenary? What are you doing? " Song Jia asked.

"Of course it's to protect the safety of the expedition team." Xu Taiping said.

"Do you need a mercenary? Don't we have security along the way? Furthermore, this is their capital. They seem to have arranged for our people to travel here, right? " Song Jia asked.

"The mercenaries are mainly responsible for the safety of the hotel and its leaders. "Although they have special bodyguards, they still need their own people to be at ease. The Destruction Flame Mercenaries are quite well-known for their mercenary groups, and they have been in Africa all year round to help the tribes fight. They have a lot of combat experience, which is why I'm looking for them. With them here, at least there won't be any danger when everyone is in the hotel." Xu Taiping said.

"Have you told the authorities?" Song Jia asked.

"Needless to say, in Africa, it is normal to bring a few mercenaries along with you. This place is rather chaotic and ordinary bodyguards are not enough to deal with this situation, so they usually bring mercenaries." "Look over there. Isn't it just a few mercenaries?" Xu Taiping pointed to the side of the hotel.

Song Jia looked in the direction Xu Taiping was pointing at and saw a fat middle-aged man with several mercenaries carrying guns beside him.

"Let's go eat after I've arranged these mercenaries." Xu Taiping said.

"Sure!" Song Jia nodded.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, a few black Chevrolets stopped in front of Xu Taiping. A few men wearing white shirts and bulletproof vests got out of the cars.

"Are you our employer?" A bald brute walked in front of Xu Taiping and asked.

"Are you the Flame of Annihilation?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, I am the captain of the fifth squad, Ramón." The bald brute said to Xu Taiping.

"Hello, Captain Raymond!" Xu Taiping took the initiative to extend his hand, "I'll be troubling you for the next ten days."

"As long as you don't leave this city, there won't be any trouble!" Ramón said, reaching out to shake hands with Xu Taiping.

Lei Meng's hands were very big and thick. Moreover, they were full of calluses. It was obvious that he was a veteran of the gun game.

"Our mission this time is mainly between the 33rd to 36th floor, so you only need to guard this area. As for the outside, if you leave the hotel, I need you to protect the targets. I gave you the information yesterday." Xu Taiping said.

"Yes, I've already seen it. There won't be any problems. If we destroy the raging flames, we will definitely complete this employment mission. Oh right, Mr Xu, do we need to protect you?" Ramón asked.

"I don't need it, I'm basically going with the big team!" Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Alright, I'll send someone over then. From now on, our employment relationship will be starting." Ramón said.

"You've worked hard!" Xu Taiping nodded, then said to Song Jia, "Let's go and find something to eat."

"En!" Song Jia glanced at Lei Meng and his men, and then left with Xu Taiping.

When they were far away, Song Jia whispered, "Why do these mercenaries look like fiends?"

"We are all living a life of licking blood from the wounds, how can we be kind? Let me tell you, each of these people's hands are stained with at least 10 or more people's blood. Only this kind of people can truly be called soldiers, and this is much stronger than those commandos who haven't seen blood before. " Xu Taiping said.

"Are you talking about your Southern Tiger Special Team?" Song Jia asked.

"The Southern Tiger Special Team has seen blood before." Xu Taiping said.

"Oh? Really? How come I've never heard of it? " Song Jia asked.

"Do you know how many soldiers die every year on a battlefield that we can't see? "How do you think we came to live in peace?" Xu Taiping asked.

Song Jia was silent, because she really did not know what Xu Taiping had said.

"Ignoring everything else, I was kidnapped by the Sinian rebels earlier this month. Do you know who went to save me then?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Who?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Then, do you know how many members of the sword unit died in that operation?" Xu Taiping asked.

"How much?"

"One special team, twenty-eight people, all dead." Xu Taiping said.

"Hiss …" Song Jia's mother sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Why is there no report of this happening in the country?"

"Because some things cannot be exposed, some heroes can only be dealt with in the simplest way even if they were sacrificed. Even their families may not know the truth … Last year, more than a hundred of our country's intelligence personnel suddenly disappeared outside the country. There are many of these people, we couldn't find their bodies for the rest of our lives, it's a peaceful time, it's not easy to obtain them, Student Song. " Xu Taiping patted Song Jia's shoulder and sighed.

"En!" Song Jia nodded her head and said, "That's why we should cherish the present even more, right?"

"Un, cherish the present, cherish the hard-won peace that they have exchanged. In addition, if the country needs it, do your best to contribute your part. Without a country, who would have a home?" Xu Taiping said.

"When did you become so patriotic? "You punk …" Song Jia said.

"Even if I'm a hoodlum, I want to be a patriotic hoodlum!" Xu Taiping laughed.

The two chatted as they strolled along the road.

The whole of Morris gave the impression that he was really good, that he was clean everywhere, that the order on the road was good, that there weren't many people on it, that the rhythm of life was about the same as that of the third-or fourth-tier cities, but that the quality of life had reached the international level, that there were famous shops everywhere and enthusiastic waiters standing in front of their shops.

People came and went as if they were in the most developed cities in the developed world.

Since they had arrived in Africa, they had to eat delicacies with local characteristics. Therefore, Xu Taiping and Song Jia found an African style barbecue shop and entered.

Xu Taiping and Song Jia were very comfortable with their meal. The two of them sat on special wooden chairs and blew on the air conditioner. They didn't want to move at all as they listened to the local musicians beating the local drums.

"If I knew that Africa was so good, I would have come a long time ago." Song Jia said with her eyes squinted.

"It's just that some places are so good." Xu Taiping said.

"Is that so?" Song Jia asked curiously.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, "If you want, I'll take you somewhere else."

"Un, pay up!" Song Jia said.

Xu Taiping raised his hand and called the waiter over.

"Sir, the total is two hundred and eighty yuan. In addition to the ten percent service fee, the total is three hundred and eight yuan." The waiter said with a smile.

Xu Taiping handed his card to the waiter and said, "No password."

"Alright!" The waiter nodded, taking Xu Taiping's card as he said to a waiter beside him, "Help the customer clean the table!"

"Yes sir!" The server at the side nodded his head, then walked over with two buckets of water to clean up the table.

Not long after, the waiter returned with Xu Taiping's card.

"Sir, your card!" The waiter smiled and handed the card to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping took the card, then said to Song Jia, "Let's go."

"En!" Song Jia nodded her head, and followed Xu Taiping out of the eatery.

"Did you notice that just now?" Song Jia pulled Xu Taiping along and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I found out that they put the rest of our food in one bucket and the napkins and stuff we use in another." Song Jia said.

"So what?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I also saw them cleaning up for others. It was the same for everyone else. After that, the buckets that held the leftovers were all taken away." Song Jia said.

"Maybe it's to feed the pigs." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Is that so?" Song Jia Niang frowned.

"Don't think too much into it. It can't be that those things can be given to people to eat, right?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"That's true!" Song Jia Lun nodded her head, and the two of them walked to the side and entered the most bustling commercial street in Morris.

People were coming and going in the commercial street.

Women were innately fond of shopping, so the moment they entered the commercial street, Song Jia immediately began her shopping mode.

As a man, Xu Taiping naturally became a free porter. Not long after, he had several large bags in his hands.

The road was crowded with people.

Xu Taiping and Song Jia walked side by side on the street, with people passing by from time to time.

Just then, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped and turned his head.

A short figure wearing a headscarf was quickly disappearing into the distance.

"Damn, there's a thief here!" Xu Taiping touched his pocket and said excitedly.
