After so many years of hardship, Lin Mo was no longer the naive and innocent person he used to be, nor the porter he was during the ti of the standoff.
He had long had a complete understanding of how this world operates.
Take the event he had just experienced, for instance, Lin Mo felt that there were ten thousand reasons for Johnson Hester not to save him, and it was even possible for him to kick him while he was down.
After all, as long as he himself was still alive, he would have to be a puppet, a duke without any real power, just a puppet.
If possible, no one would want to live like that.
People have their own aspirations.
Perhaps when Johnson Hester was running for election initially, he was willing to make so unreasonable commitnts to Lin Mo and agreed to help him with so matters to beco the duke.
But people will beco arrogant.
Now having been the duke for over a year, according to the information Lin Mo had, Johnson Hester had already taken control of most of Arica’s departnts, and perhaps because Lin Mo had previously dealt with other competitors so they had no chance to fight back.
Johnson Hester had beco the most secure Grand Duke of Arica since Li Gen.
If this pattern continues, he is almost certain to beco the next heir to the duke.
To serve two terms.
In such a situation, people often swell with pride and hope to gain more power rather than continue to be a puppet manipulated by others.
Even though Lin Mo rarely needed him, and after dealing with Chen Shanhe, he had hardly sought out Johnson Hester anymore.
But it’s like a sword hanging over one’s head, and no one knows when it might fall and harm oneself.
If there was no opportunity before, then so be it,
Now the concert was just attacked by terrorists, and Lin Mo just happened to be at the scene of the concert, which was simply a wonderful opportunity bestowed by heaven.
Lin Mo felt that if he were Johnson Hester, it would be difficult to ensure that he wouldn’t be tempted by such an opportunity.
But,
Now the situation laid before Lin Mo, Johnson Hester had actually resisted this temptation and at all costs sent their country’s military forces.
This moved Lin Mo deeply and made him start to think about whether or not to continue his deep cultivation in Arica.
As long as he could control the duke of Arica, there would always be a way out for him, no matter what. Even if he had a falling out with Grand Xia, he and his family wouldn’t be without a place to go.
It was while he was lost in thought that the leaders of several teams had gathered around Lin Mo.
The first to speak was the captain of the special forces team from Grand Xia, around 30 years old, standing at a height of 1.85 ters with a robust physique like a small mountain, giving a strong sense of oppression.
Moreover, his face had several ferocious scars of varying depths, which did not look like they were from one injury.
Seeing Lin Mo, the man straightened up, saluted, and said, "Chief Engineer Lin, I apologize for the scare. I am the captain of the River Dragon Assault Team, code na Iron Mountain."
Special forces and top-tier rcenaries have their own industry rules.
One of them is to absolutely not use their real nas while working, but rather use a variety of code nas to address each other.
And in life, they absolutely do not use code nas, but call each other by na.
This practice is simple to understand and its purpose is straightforward: to protect themselves and their families.
After all, the missions they undertake are not ordinary, and they face powerful and malicious adversaries. Bitter enemies might seek vengeance against them.
To avoid this as much as possible, many unwritten rules have developed.
It’s easy to understand, and naturally, Lin Mo also knows this.
And the reason they referred to Lin Mo as Chief Engineer was because this was his title at the Imperial Capital First Military Factory.
At the sa ti, this also made it clear to other countries that Lin Mo was their key protection target, and the others should think twice before making any moves.
Soon after his words fell, another team approached, politely saying in English, "Mr. Lin, we are sent by the duke to rescue you. Is there anything we can do to assist you right now?"
Lin Mo nodded, and without being too courteous, pointed to a few people beside him and said, "Please take him to get treated, and also take my family to a safe place. In addition, I need several top-notch psychologists to talk with my family."
Killing is not an easy task.
Lin Mo had not killed anyone from birth until now, including Chen Shanhe and Chen Kainan, who were just put under house arrest by Lin Mo.
It wasn’t that Lin Mo didn’t dare to kill them, but rather he had so aversion to the act of killing.
Life is not a ga; no matter how many coins you insert, you can’t start over.
And tonight, Lin Mo’s family had gone through the world’s most painful separation of life and death, so he would certainly find them appropriate psychologists, at least to help them feel a little better.
Joking aside,
Though there aren’t many reports in the news, Lin Mo is very clear that if they don’t receive professional psychological treatnt, just his mother alone could be unresponsive for a long ti, or fall into a state of perpetual anxiety, which would have a greater impact on their lives.
