Capítulo 1609: Chapter 1610: Preparations Before the Assembly
“Bro, go ahead.” Xiao Xuan said seriously.
Xiang Yu nodded and said, “The conference is happening in three days. You need to head over now, get the lay of the land, and figure out the surrounding circumstances. Be extrely careful.”
“Don’t worry, bro, it won’t be a problem.” Xiao Xuan finished speaking, bid farewell to Xiang Yu, and walked out of the room.
He needed to prepare, bringing necessary items like a pistol, a knife, and night vision goggles.
Xiao Xuan was trained as a sniper, and he was always the one to complete reconnaissance missions.
“Yu bro, what about ? What should I do?” Tie Zhuzi asked with a grin after seeing Xiao Xuan leave.
“You, just go back to sleep.” Xiang Yu said and then went back to his room to sleep without elaborating further.
Three days passed quickly. During this ti, Xiang Yu didn’t prepare much; he just stayed with his brothers and worked on enhancing the base.
The base had begun to take shape, but so of the covert constructions underground were still incomplete.
At that mont, Xiang Yu, Wu Jing, and Tie Zhuzi were sitting in a room discussing the night’s matters.
“Wu Jing, select ten experts to join the action tonight.” Xiang Yu said.
Wu Jing paused for a mont before saying, “Shouldn’t we bring all the brothers since it’s so dangerous this ti?”
Xiang Yu shook his head and said, “Too many people would only invite ridicule; we’ll just take ten people and adapt as needed.”
Wu Jing nodded, then discussed so other matters with Xiang Yu before leaving.
They now had 108 brothers, so picking ten was a piece of cake.
Additionally, Wu Jing was well-acquainted with these people, having trained with them daily and knowing their details.
When Wu Jing picked the ten, nobody objected, because these ten had combat skills that everyone acknowledged.
Wu Jing brought the ten to wait outside Xiang Yu’s room for the next orders.
Xiang Yu erged to see the robust ten standing before him and said, “Brothers, today’s task is critical. You must remain vigilant. It’s extrely dangerous today, a mission of nine deaths and one life. If anyone challenges our authority, we must be ruthless.”
Before, Xiang Yu never ntioned such things in front of the brothers; today, it seed he was determined for a big action.
“Understood.” The ten were stern, their eyes firm, as if they were prepared to face certain death.
Xiang Yu nodded, then further explained the night’s specific arrangents.
Just then, Xiao Xuan returned, dusty and weary.
“Bro, I’ve got it all figured out.” Xiao Xuan said as he approached Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu nodded and then instructed the ten brothers to rest. He and a few others returned to the room with Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan sat down with a pen and paper to sketch the area’s layout.
“The eting is inside a place called Paradise Hotel,” Xiao Xuan said while drafting the map.
Paradise Hotel is located at the juncture of four cities, in a no-man’s land, so to speak. Though remote, its business surprisingly thrives, attracting nurous dignitaries and wealthy rchants for leisure and entertainnt.
Xiao Xuan illustrated on paper while detailing the hotel’s interior.
The hotel had been closed to guests for days. Xiao Xuan had to employ certain tactics to sneak inside.
“Xiao Xuan, how’d you get in? Didn’t use a charm offensive, did you?” Tie Zhuzi asked suspiciously.
Xiao Xuan ignored Tie Zhuzi’s remark and continued explaining the surroundings.
Xiao Xuan’s survey was ticulous; it addressed any potential danger points.
He wasn’t alone in investigating; many others were surveying from the shadows too.
Thanks to Xiao Xuan’s reconnaissance, Xiang Yu had a comprehensive understanding of the area.
“When does the conference start?” Xiang Yu asked Wu Jing.
“Eight o’clock tonight,” Wu Jing replied.
Xiang Yu nodded and organized the night’s operation.
“Yu bro, let co with you this ti.” Wu Jing said expectantly.
This mission was undoubtedly a life-and-death one, and Wu Jing was quite worried. He’d rather venture with Xiang Yu than fret back at the base.
Xiang Yu shook his head, “You stay with the brothers and guard the base. It’s just been established; its safety is paramount.”
Wu Jing could only nod. It made sense, but he felt being by Xiang Yu’s side would ensure his safety.
“Alright, everyone rest up. We’ll set out at five in the afternoon,” Xiang Yu said.
In a lavish villa in another city, two people sat facing each other.
“Bro, he ca to visit, why didn’t you keep him here?” one of them asked.
This man had a deep scar on his left arm and a scorpion tattooed on his right, none other than Ren Qing.
Opposite him sat his older brother, Ren Hua, who looked much like him.
“That’s your street rule. In our rcenary world, there’s no such darkness. If soone visits you proactively and you keep them here, how could I survive in the rcenary world?” Ren Hua said with a contemptuous smile.
Ren Qing was frustrated but had to follow Ren Hua’s arrangent since he now worked under him.
Knowing Ren Qing’s dissatisfaction, Ren Hua continued, “In the rcenary world, the most valued concept is trust. If we take on soone else’s task, we must go all out to complete it, not treat it lightly.”
Ren Qing, disinterested in his brother’s lecture, stood to leave.
“Wait.” Ren Hua suddenly called, signaling his brother to sit down.
Ren Qing begrudgingly sat, head down, unwilling to speak further.
“I know you’re feeling wronged. I will definitely avenge you this ti.” Ren Hua said calmly.
“How are you going to avenge ?” Ren Qing asked curiously.
“I’ve done a brief check on Xiang Yu. He’s very ambitious, first infiltrating the Orchid Group, then joining the rcenary group, and ultimately taking out the Orchid rcenary Corps’ leader, Cheng Wulan, becoming the leader himself.” Ren Hua spoke as if omniscient.
“He took out the leader of the Orchid rcenary Corps?” Ren Qing asked in disbelief.
Ren Hua nodded, “Indeed, this man’s ruthless. They clearly want a piece of the action at this conference. Though I refuse to see him, they’ll undoubtedly go.”
“They’re going too?” Ren Qing beca excited.
If Xiang Yu and his crew attend the conference, he could wipe them out.
“Bro, give a squad, I’ll ambush them en route and take them out as soon as they co.” Ren Qing said, a bit excited.
If he could take out Xiang Yu and his team, he could return to his turf and start anew.
With his prior foundation, a coback wasn’t impossible.
Ren Hua glanced disdainfully at Ren Qing and said, “We’re all rcenary groups, and at such a critical ti, how could we resort to such thods?”
