Chapter 527: Getting Ready to Go to the Land of Mercenaries (Part Two)
Li Wei awkwardly said, “About the size of a small town, estimated to be about 1 million square meters.”
Hawking laughed. “Are there any fortresses on there that’s easy to defend and hard to break through?”
Li Wei felt even more awkward. “There are just a few dilapidated houses, and they were also left behind from a couple of decades ago. There isn’t anyone living there anymore, so we temporarily settled in.”
Hawking: “Then what the fack are we doing? If you guys were defeated and have to run, does that mean I have to give up my underground base and factory too? The other mercenary groups would occupy lands with great oil reserves, and you occupied a piece of land that not even birds would take a sh-t on? And you want to unify the nation? You guys would be screwed right away even if the other countries put economic sanctions on you. Mr. Xu, don’t blame me for not helping. Let’s talk after you get a foothold over there first.”
Li Wei was embarra.s.sed and didn’t say anymore.
“Old man, in the future I won’t allow you to say this kind of rhetoric in front of them that would affect their motivation.” Xu Cheng said, “We will just conquer more land, what’s so difficult? Besides, if we built a base on such an abandoned place, the risk will be significantly smaller, since the other mercenaries wouldn’t even bother bullying or looting us.”
Li Wei looked at Xu Cheng and asked, “Big Brother Cheng, are you planning to come to the Land of Mercenaries now?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “We will go and occupy our base camp first. Hawking can’t stay here. Once we meet real danger, we won’t be able to rely on the Mexican gangs. Figure out a way to get him over there first, I will be right there.”
Li Wei happily nodded. “I will go back and tell Luo Yi.”
Xu Cheng found a person that could help him solve the problem of getting a good engineering team, and that person was the filthy rich man, Haber.
If a problem could be solved by money, then it was not a problem. He believed that the people found by Haber would be reliable. Back then, if Haber was a big mouth, the word would’ve already gotten out when he told Haber about his plan to wipe out the Sanling Financial Group. But, he kept his mouth shut and kept that secret until now, it was clear that he was someone he could rely on.
After he called Haber, Haber couldn’t be more excited.
Ever since what happened back in the Wei Nation, Haber had always wanted to find a time to have a deep talk with Xu Cheng and ask him just how the fack did he manage to do all that. He also wanted to check to see if Xu Cheng was still alive.
“Come to Dubai, I will show you the most luxurious life here,” Haber said warmingly over the phone.
After hanging up the call, Xu Cheng called Lin Chuxue and asked, “Honey, let’s go have our honeymoon in Dubai.”
“Don’t want to. I don’t want to attract too much attention for you,” Lin Chuxue said understandingly.
“No worries, I have a big heart. For whoever that dares to seduce you, I will face-slap him to death with my money.” Xu Cheng said, “Let’s just take a break so we can work more efficiently later, come on.”
“Then I will go if you can book the Burj Al Arab hotel, otherwise don’t interrupt my studies. I didn’t even get to graduate with my music diploma last time because I had to marry you and go to Huaxia with you!” Lin Chuxue snorted.
Xu Cheng felt guilty. He wanted to take this opportunity to really let Lin Chuxue have a good time. He indeed hadn’t taken Lin Chuxue to travel, so he wanted to make it up to her. So, he called Haber back. “My wife said she’s coming if you can get us a room at Burj Al Arab.”
“That’s it? Is that even a challenge for me?” Haber said proudly, “In the future, don’t use that tone, because it would be humiliating if you think that’s difficult for me to do. I just need to give the word and the presidential suite will be reserved for you. Wait, you have a wife?”
Xu Cheng: “I can’t have a wife?”
Haber: “I mean, which woman would love a madman like you?”
Xu Cheng: “Just wait, I will show you the epitome of being low-profile.”
