Chapter 606. Invite the Deviant Corp’s Leader Over (Part One)
The Dragon Clan’s territory was in an area with mountains and lakes. After all, they were people of Huaxia who were quite particular about Fengshui.
The entire mountain of forests was not in any way smaller than the old territory of the Dragon Clan. It was quite a unique landmark in the Land of Mercenaries with houses surrounded by coconut trees. They were the four richest mercenary groups in the Land of Mercenaries, so the facilities were all so luxurious that it would be considered a rich men’s paradise.
The sudden visit of the M Nation commander did not surprise them as the leader of the Dragon Clan had heard about the surprise during their military drill because it happened right under their watch, involving that Deviant Mercenary Corp that went unnoticed by at first.
The commanders were brought to a garden with a pond and bamboo growing around it, where the head of the Dragon Clan had been waiting. He stood up to greet them and they shook hands with one another.
“Rare guest, rare guest, I wonder what brings you here?”
The five commanders took off their hats and sat down onto the chairs as they said, “Long story short, we need you to exterminate the Deviant Corp. We can provide you with whatever you want. You know we can’t send troops to be stationed here so even if we send another company of soldiers over, the results would be the same. The Special Forces teams from five countries were exterminated this time, so unless we use missiles or tanks, it would be otherwise difficult to take them down. But we know that in the Land of Mercenaries, there’s a food chain. Let’s make a deal; as long as you help us take out and exterminate the Deviants, it would be considered to be the perfect ending for this tournament. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to go back and give a report.”
The leader of the Dragon Clan calmly poured tea for everyone as he said, “Frankly speaking, we know very little about this Deviant Mercenary Corp. Recently, they first picked on the Falcon Clan, then absorbed the Cobra Clan under their group, and then exterminated the Wild Wolf Mercenaries. All of these indicate that they aren’t weak. We do not have any conflict nor resentment with them, so it wouldn’t be a good idea to deliberately try to suppress them. After all, this territory is so big that it can’t be handled by just one group of mercenaries. It would be nice to let more people take care of it as long as they are willing to pay the rental fees. If we don’t have many mercenaries left in this territory and you want us to exterminate the only one left, it’s a bit inconsistent with our policy.”
“No.” The Chief Commander said, “Nowadays, the authority and reputation of the Deviant Corp even surpa.s.ses that of your Dragon Clan. Are you fine with that? Aren’t you afraid they’ll replace you?”
The leader of the Dragon Clan smiled. “That also requires them to have the ability first. We were born here, and we ruled this region for at least two decades. In terms of heritage, it’s really not something the Deviant Mercenaries can replace. Don’t try to provoke us because we can defeat them hard just in terms of the number of people and weapons we have. Besides, our financial resources would eventually consume them in a long-term war.”
The M Nation commander smacked his lips. “That means we can’t collaborate?”
The Dragon Clan Leader: “Not exactly. If you insist on doing so, we could. However, we would need a qualified ident.i.ty to register an investment account in the M Nation.”
They had money and wanted to earn more money through investment. However, it was hard to invest when their ident.i.ty was being watched by many countries.
The commanders quickly said, “That’s impossible, we don’t have that much power, and we’re not in charge of the investments in the first place.”
The Dragon Clan Leader: “Then there’s no way. Please make your way back and don’t talk about collaborations without sincerity in the future.”
A few Dragon Clan mercenaries took out their guns as they came over to ask them to leave.
The commanders briefly discussed with one another and said hesitantly, “How about first you kill the Deviant’s boss to show us what you are capable of, then we’ll talk more about the collaboration.”
Chapter 606. Invite the Deviant Corp’s Leader Over (Part Two)
The leader of the Dragon Clan said to his men, “Go and invite the leader of the Deviants Mercenary Corp over and tell him that I want to discuss a few things over with him.”
The subordinates nodded and walked out.
As long as this territory was still owned by the Dragon Clan and the Deviant Corp didn’t want to start a war, then the leader of the Deviant Corp must come over. If he disobeyed and didn’t come over, then that would mean they were having second thoughts, and such a subsidiary group must be exterminated!
Deviant Corp basecamp.
The twenty-four Deviant members whose abilities had not awakened yet were thinking about life every day, or rather, thinking about how to awaken their abilities.
Xu Cheng watched them as they tried various methods to find what the problem was.
He was also thinking about the gene fusion himself. There were too many genes in his body, so much that some he couldn’t even find, and he didn’t know what the fusion would make him into without realizing.
During this time, he had learned more or less about the genes and his own problems.
He found the root of the problem in terms of his penetrating vision, it seemed to come from the fusion of the three vision genes of bat, eagle, and cat. The extreme of the fusion gave him the ability to see through things with his eyes. It put him at a powerful advantage since he could simply use this to snipe out an enemy thousands of miles away!
There was also the power of the leaf ant that he could feel was gradually growing stronger. His explosive power was at 200 pounds before with the 50X power, and over time, his explosive power reached 300 pounds, and with the leaf ant’s 50X ability, the limit of his current explosive power and strength in all aspects can instantly soar to 15,000 pounds! Which meant that he now had 7.5 tons of force in one punch, and if he wanted to, he could punch through anything without harming himself with a layer of tortoise armor protection over his fist.
The power of his knuckles could crush anyone’s bones.
As for his tortoise armor, it was also another ability that Xu Cheng relied on that could block bullets and bombs. During the attack on the Murong Family, his tortoise armor once withstood a huge explosion and his body underneath only received a slight shock, which was enough to show that the defensive nature of the tortoise armor exceeded that of a bulletproof vest.
The pads of flesh growing out of his feet and palms were also practical in use, he wasn’t sure if it was from a cat or some other genetic fusion, but the pads helped him attach to a wall, and he could even hang upside down on a wall with no problem.
There was also his recently awakened Mantis Jump power, and with the cat’s instant explosive power and 50X leaf ant power together, he could leap up to a hundred meters in the air with a single jump. Although he couldn’t jump a thousand kilometers at a time like in fantasy stories, he could still jump 500 to 600 meters away, giving the enemy no chance to escape.
Even the fastest Bugatti car in the world would require two to three seconds of acceleration to reach a hundred meters, so Xu Cheng’s one jump was several times faster than a Bugatti sports car.
However, Xu Cheng was also aware of new abilities as he recently felt that with his increased proficiency in his X-ray and sonic wave abilities, and since both of them required concentration with his attention, it had caused him to further expand in his mentality.
His actual skills had become outstanding and he could feel that his spiritual power was broadening!
Maybe his ability to manipulate water molecules earlier came from his bursts of spiritual power and he was able to use telekinesis.
