Chapter 567: Special Forces Compet.i.tion is Near (Part One)
When the bald man’s subordinates came over, Xu Cheng also let go of his arm.
The other members of the Dragon Clan walked over and said, “That hole looks pretty deep though, we should go in and check it out.”
The baldie sighed and said, “It’s fine, we already got the money. Time to go.”
The other guys all felt that his sudden change in att.i.tude and tone was quite strange.
But, they still followed orders and got back into the car. When the three armed pickup trucks left the Deviant Corp’s territory, that baldie’s face suddenly grimaced when the car bounced a bit due to the rough terrain, appearing to be in pain.
“What’s wrong?” a subordinate asked curiously.
The baldie rolled up his sleeve and suddenly noticed that there was a big bruised area on his arm!
“What happened?” the others saw this and all asked curiously.
The baldie returned with a question. “How many armed personnel do they really have?”
“Weird, they really didn’t have many. I’ve looked around and found only about 20 people that looked like they can fight, and that even included a few from the engineers.”
The baldie: “Do you think it’s possible? That they took down Falcon?”
“It’s not impossible. Say, do you think it’s someone sent by the Huaxia Government?”
They all looked to be full of doubt, but the baldie immediately cleared the air. “Not very possible. The government wouldn’t extend their hand to this land. There’s no reason for them to do that, but it’s not entirely impossible. Pay some attention to them, I think these guys are pretty capable, probably elites of the elites, especially their boss.”
“You mean that really tall Huaxia guy just now?”
The baldie asked, “You noticed it too?”
“Nope, but he does seem pretty calm, not like someone that just stepped into the Land of Mercenaries.”
“This guy’s strength is unfathomable, I almost got sc.r.a.pped just now.” The baldie sighed and said, “My arm became like this when he just casually grabbed me. If we didn’t leave, we would’ve probably died there!”
The other guys were all shocked.
The baldie took in a big breath. “Right now I can’t move this arm at all, fack! We will go back and tell Boss, we must be careful of this guy. If he was really sent here by the government, then he would be a big problem.”
Watching as the three cars left, Xu Cheng stood at the gate and didn’t go back in for a long time.
Li Wei and Luo Yi came to his side and looked into the distance and sighed, “Thank G.o.d they didn’t recognize you, Big Brother Cheng. It’s good that the four clans were wiped out very neatly and they couldn’t trace it back to you.”
Xu Cheng asked, “They were all raised by the Ryong Family?”
“Yes.” Luo Yi said, “The Dragon Clan has about two thousand people, which is huge. It also has something to do with Huaxia’s big population and the population of criminals. Those outlaws would either go somewhere in Southeast Asia, or they would come here and be adopted by one of the four clans. But, those clans would only accept the elites, usually those that were in the army or even special forces that got kicked out for breaking the rules. But, they actually don’t have many masters, just a c.r.a.p ton of mid-tier elites, unlike Kush’s mercenary clan that has a few top-tier masters overwatching. The four behemoth families’ mercenary groups rely on their c.r.a.p load of money, and they are known to be the forces with unlimited ammunition.”
Li Wei chimed in, “The businesses under the four behemoth families were vigilant and transferred a large sum of their wealth out of the country before the police seized it, and most were wired to this place.”

Xu Cheng nodded. “The old man calculated the total industrial value of those four families, and the combined invisible a.s.sets should be worth at least 3 trillion yuan! But, the country was only able to chase back 1.8 trillion, with at least 1 trillion confirmed to have been wired out of the country. That means, the four behemoth families mercenary groups should have over 100 billion dollars right now! Every year, including fighting against the special forces of the other nations, they wouldn’t use more than two to three hundred million. They are indeed well-off for a while.”
Speaking of this, Xu Cheng sighed, “This is also a big reason I’m here. It wouldn’t be a good thing if these guys still have this much money on them. I wouldn’t be so worried about them if they didn’t have this much money, but sometimes, with that amount of money, they could really do a lot of unexpected things. I’m worried that they would leave the Land of Mercenaries. So these guys must stay here forever, or die here!”
– At about a hundred miles away from the territory of Deviant Clan, in an independently-owned and profitable city, inside a European-style villa –
The baldie walked in, and he saw several mercenary clans’ bosses were in a meeting with his boss. He wasn’t in a rush to go in and waited until the guests all left.
The baldie then walked in and saw a 30-year-old man with rock star-like hair. At this time, he was looking at a 3D map of the terrain of the entire Land of Mercenaries.
He subconsciously glanced and saw the cast on the baldie’s arm and asked, “What happened to your arm?”
“Almost got crushed.” The baldie bitterly smiled. “Boss, I checked out those guys that took out the Falcon Clan.”
The long-haired guy: “How are they?”
“For a clan that took down one with 300 people, they only have less than 20 mercenaries!” The baldie said, “And their boss, I can’t see through him.”
The boss suddenly shifted his eyes from the map onto the baldie, “Where are they from?”
“They look like a bunch of stateless people that gathered together.” The baldie said, “But I felt that boss of theirs, he’s from Huaxia too. Could he be a bit too strong?”
The boss said, “Very normal. With thousands of years of cultural heritage, there are countless martial art masters. Who knows whether some would move here or not.”
The baldie: “I’m worried that his appearance isn’t coincidental, but a plan organized by the Huaxia Government.”
The boss laughed. “Then your worry is absurd. Although the four behemoth families are gone, Huaxia still needs to invest a lot of resources and people to send to this place to wipe us out. It’s even harder to take us out than the four behemoth clans, yet they are only sending a team of not even 20 people? You think they are stupid or they are out of people? No need to worry about them. If we get a chance in the future, I will visit them and chat with him.”
At this time, a 40-year-old man walked in and said, “Baldie, I heard you ran into an elite from Huaxia too, why not get him to join our camp?”
If this guy were to see Xu Cheng, he would be shocked and recognize him right away. This person was none other than the wealth manager of the Ryong Family, the only one that managed to escape when Xu Cheng killed off the Ryong Family and went to get the Old Patriarch of the family to help out.
The baldie: “This guy looks quite daunting, doesn’t seem like someone that could easily be recruited. He also seems to have absolute authority around his guys, so he probably wouldn’t give that up to join and serve us.”
Speaking of this, he then asked, “Boss, what were the representatives here for?”
The boss: “In a month, it would be the international special forces compet.i.tion. By then, G.o.d knows how many people would die from the chaotic dogfights. These representatives are all from those emerging mercenary groups, and they hope to partner up with us to fight against the special forces’ invasion.”
