Chapter 1166: Chapter 1168: Poison Scorpion and Long Xie

"That’s right, the rise of the Hell’s Judgent rcenary Corps was rapid, and now the Ghost God rcenary Corps is rising just as quickly. They have many similarities; in fact, the Ghost God rcenary Corps may even surpass the Hell’s Judgent rcenary Corps!" Long Xie said, recognizing them as the most promising rcenary group and one he had been watching closely all along.

Old Scorpion nodded in agreent after hearing Long Xie’s words and said, "This rcenary group is indeed similar to the Hell’s Judgent rcenary Corps, but their developnt models are completely different."

Long Xie laughed, "One grows rapidly and becos powerful, the other relies on absolute might to beco powerful. There is indeed a difference. The Hell’s Judgent’s strength was a sudden growth; its mbers increased rapidly and quickly caught up with the numbers in the top three rcenary groups. However, their actual equipnt couldn’t keep up, and coupled with Lin Fei, who was careless, their eventual failure was inevitable."

Old Scorpion said, "Therefore, I absolutely won’t allow anyone like Lin Fei to threaten our position again. Just one Lin Fei made us, the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group, expend so much effort, and even then, it was only with the help of the Gentleman rcenary Group that we got rid of him. Now, another Lin Fei is on the rise, and we must find a way to strangle it in the cradle!"

"Boss, I don’t think we need to do that," Long Xie said.

"What do you an by that?" Old Scorpion asked, knowing that if Long Xie said so, he must have a reason.

Long Xie smiled and said, "I believe that given the speed at which the Ghost God rcenary Corps is rising, there must be soone even more anxious than we are to eliminate them. All we need to do is hold our ground."

"You an we don’t make a move?"

Old Scorpion frowned; he always thought that if others rose, they would challenge the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group. This would push the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group out of the top three rankings, weakening their influence, which in turn would deteriorate their standing internationally. The consequences of that downfall would be unimaginable, especially considering that behind the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group lay the power of the Iron Country.

Long Xie explained, "Boss, we’ve done all we can, and we shouldn’t do thankless tasks. Since the opposition is coming on strong, there’s no need to invite trouble. I’ve heard that the Ghost God rcenary Corps accepted an S-tier mission; anyone with the courage to take on such a mission is no simpleton. If they attack us, it would be a losing gamble."

"I see, Long Xie, you’re right." Old Scorpion nodded. Long Xie had beco quite exceptional, and whether or not he coveted the boss’s position, Old Scorpion couldn’t match him in capability. This particular problem, though simple, had eluded Old Scorpion’s understanding.

"Now that the matter is resolved, all of you may leave; Long Xie, please stay," Old Scorpion said.

The others glanced at Long Xie, unsure of what Old Scorpion planned, while a burly Black man called Black Eight stood behind Old Scorpion. If...

Long Xie glanced at Old Scorpion and said, "Hurry and go. Didn’t you hear the boss’s orders clearly?"

With Long Xie’s words, they all stood up and headed toward the door, disappearing as the door closed. Old Scorpion smiled wryly and said, "I am indeed getting old."

Long Xie comforted him, "Boss, this is just in form only, but please rest assured, as long as you wish, I will continue to support you all the way." Long Xie displayed a sincere expression; however, inwardly, he was more scheming.

Old Scorpion nodded, understanding Long Xie’s intentions. By now, the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group was beyond his control. Although Long Xie appeared powerless on the surface, he secretly controlled the group. Old Scorpion’s current role was simply to appear as the leader in others’ eyes, while handling none of the responsibilities.

Long Xie’s plan was simple: to keep Old Scorpion in his position without power. If any enemies, like Lin Fei, attacked, their target would be Old Scorpion. Although Old Scorpion escaped once, the reaction at that ti proved the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group no longer cared for Old Scorpion.

Yet, Old Scorpion was unwilling to relinquish power, even as a powerless leader, so he silently allowed this situation to persist.

"Boss, do you have any plans regarding the Ghost God rcenary Corps?" Long Xie asked.

Old Scorpion awakened from his thoughts and said, "What are your plans for the Ghost God rcenary Corps?"

Long Xie looked at Old Scorpion, acknowledging him. At least Old Scorpion was once a boss of the Poison Scorpion, not without wisdom. He said, "Boss, our rcenary group may seem at the bottom, but in reality, the top three rcenary groups are a collective; surely, you know this better than I do."

"Of course, it is precisely because we are a collective that I’ve always suppressed the other rcenary groups, but our principles of service are eternally distinct; it’s rely profit that binds us together," Poison Scorpion said.

"Then that’s it."

Long Xie finished speaking and smiled, "Boss, since we are a unit, even if profits bind us, in essence, we are not the sa. So why should we fend off external enemies? We’ve set up so many adversaries, and the first and second rcenary groups offer a stable future. It’s a losing ga, I feel there’s no need for us to continue playing."

"You want to break this form?" Old Scorpion asked in surprise.

Long Xie shook his head, "We’re not trying to break this form, but because this form doesn’t truly exist. For the balance, real fairness is parallel; since we are a unit, we must maintain equilibrium. But it’s clear our current relationship is not balanced."

At this point, Old Scorpion had an epiphany. Poison Scorpion had been striking at various rcenary groups outside, only strengthening the first two rcenary groups. Unknowingly, the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group had beco a perpetual number three as the gap widened.

Just like the Poison Scorpion rcenary Group striking Lin Fei: although Lin Fei died, the sha and loss he brought to the group would never disappear or change. Therefore, Long Xie was right; the number one Gentleman rcenary Group and the number two Tank rcenary Group had beco too complacent, growing larger as they enjoyed their comforts.

Seeing Old Scorpion’s contemplation, Long Xie understood he finally saw the form clearly. "I got word that the original tactician of the Judgent rcenary Group, Xue Zhi, was poached by the Tank rcenary Group. Xue Zhi agreed to beco part of the Tank rcenary Group," he said.
