Chapter 628: One Smart Way Would be Better for Control (Part One)
Kush’s pupils constricted as he sat in his wheelchair and said to the leaving Xu Cheng, “You want to be independent? You haven’t taken my words to heart.”
Xu Cheng: “You won’t believe me even if I don’t represent other countries behind my back. I’m letting you be independent here, in your name!”
Kush: “I’ll be a target!”
Xu Cheng: “Don’t worry, I will only allow you to be independent after a foolproof plan is made. First, we will gather two thirds of the Land of Mercenaries into our hands, and this way, it won’t attract too many prying eyes. Then, when the time is here, we will declare our independence!”
Kush shouted, “You’re going to let me go?”
“I’m not only going to release you.” Xu Cheng turned to look at Kush. “I also want you to be the head of this country.”
Kush’s face was startled. “I just said, it’s hard to instate a leader in this country!”
Xu Cheng: “It’s not hard, because since you are the one who overthrew the corrupt system, you have the best reputation among the natives of the Land of Mercenaries. That’s why you are the best candidate to become the head of this country.”
Kush: “That’s not what I mean by difficult! I mean external interference!”
Xu Cheng looked at him and said meaningfully, “The Deviant Corp will be your strongest shield!”
Xu Cheng had figured it out.
There was no way to expose them right now, but if he wanted the Deviant Corp to become the top mercenary clan, then the only way to do that was to use an existing group. The Deviant Corp will be above that group and have the ability to hide in the shadows to protect Kush and his squad. In this way, it would be more mysterious and safer for the Deviant Corp members.
What he wanted to do was similar to how the M Nation capital was controlled by the Rothschild and the Capitalist Society, which were only mentioned in myths and stories but in fact controlled everything behind the scenes.
The Deviant Corp could also survive in the Land of Mercenaries in this manner, standing behind the government as their ace in the hole. This might be the best kind of survival for them. Perhaps this world shouldn’t have so much chaos to influence public opinion; it was better not to see the light, because once Xu Cheng was exposed, those powerful countries in this world would have all the ways on how to destroy them. By then, they really wouldn’t be able to resist in their current state. Kush’s words made Xu Cheng calm down, Kush had occupied a perfect time and place here in the Land of Mercenaries compared to Xu Cheng, but he was under pressure not to be independent, and Xu Cheng felt that he had thought of things a little too simply before.
So, he changed his mind.
The Deviant Corp could learn the ways by which those past giants had managed to exist in secrecy, and once others tried to mess with this country, their a.s.sa.s.sination would be executed at a terrifying level in the dark!
Xu Cheng’s intelligence network work will soon be overshadowed, and if anyone tries to dictate to Kush’s government, the Deviant Corp will make that person vanish from the face of the earth without a trace!
“Just you guys?” Kush sneered at Xu Cheng and his gang of brothers.
Xu Cheng said, “It doesn’t take much, give us some time. You just need to manage your territory. As for those other small mercenary corps, my people will annihilate them, and you can take over at the end.”
Kush raised his eyebrows as he caught the hint. “You want me to be your puppet?”
“You could say that, but you don’t have a choice. Don’t you want to see this country in peace? I’m giving you this chance, so go ahead and do whatever you want; we’re behind you. Once you die, I will continue to guard this place for you. With my ability, it’s really not hard to kill any of the mercenary group leaders and make them disintegrate. I’ll kill as many as I can, and you don’t need to doubt that.”
Xu Cheng walked away.
He took Zhang Xiu and the others with him.
Leaving all those captives with the Continental Mercenaries for them to look after, his sudden decision to leave puzzled Zhang Xiu and the others.
Hadn’t they agreed to conquer this territory?
Li Wei and his car rushed over, and after meeting up with them, Dulson told Luo Yi and the others about everything.Chapter 628: One Smart Way Would be Better for Control (Part Two)
After a long period of silence, Luo Yi couldn’t help but ask Xu Cheng, “Big Brother Cheng, what about the agreement to conquer this world? Why did you give up?”
“Didn’t we conquer it?” Xu Cheng looked at the Deviant Corp members and asked rhetorically.
Luo Yi: “Are you just going to not kill Kush and then let the Continental Mercenaries just continue to rule?”
Xu Cheng: “I’ve figured it out, not only this but you guys will also be responsible for helping the Continental Mercenaries to beat down other territories that originally belonged to the four clans, allowing the land of mercenaries to merge and expand by two-thirds.”
Everyone asked in unison, “Why!”
Xu Cheng said, “Look around you guys, how many brothers do we still have left?”
The crowd went silent.
Xu Cheng sighed. “If we rule, we will face a head-on confrontation with people from various countries, and then we will only expose the truth that we are supernatural beings. By that time, which one of you will be able to protect yourselves? At least before we can protect ourselves, I think it’s best if we stand behind the Continental Mercenaries. We seem to give everything to them, but we’re the ones who really rule here! Any one of your guys or I, if we wanted, could always support so-and-so of the Continental Mercenaries to stand upon the stage, and there’s no need for us to personally step up, right? From now on, this is the place where our Deviant Corp will reside. We are not in power, but we are the ones in control!”
The crowd nodded.
Although this method would cause them to lose the fame and glory, it was safer.
“If that’s so, I agree with this decision.” Luo Yi was the first to step forward and express his opinion.
Li Wei nodded as well. “Yes, covering up the sharp edges of our Deviant Corp would become necessary sooner or later. It’s best to live and continue to thrive with this lack of exposure, since it’s true that we are under the spotlight right now.”
Mario grinned. “What the Boss says is what it is, it’s not like we could not get along now? Anyway, we’re all on the same ship now, and the Boss won’t harm us.”
Chekhov: “Right Boss, since you made your decision, then you don’t need to care about what we think.”
However, Benjamin said awkwardly, “I don’t seem like I should be hanging around here, and are you guys going to kill anyone who heard that? If you want to kill me, then kill. I’m a traitor anyways so I should be dead. It was nice to be saved from death and be given a chance to make amends.”
Diesel looked at his old friend and asked, “I heard from Dulson that you yelled out loud something before you were about to die?”
Benjamin opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Diesel looked at him. “Is it shameful to say it?”
Benjamin shouted with power, “I said I’m from the Deviant Corp!”
“That’s right.” Mario grabbed Benjamin and hugged him over like a bear. “Come, come, let me tell you about the important things and rules of the Deviant Corp. Oh yes, in order for you to understand the Deviant Corp better, I think I need to show you a punch.”
Diesel: “Mario you’re going to kill him with that punch.”
Benjamin didn’t care. “If you can forgive me, not to mention a punch, as long as you will forgive me, you can do whatever you want!”
The crowd: “Dumb*ss!”
