In a minor nation within Heizhou*, a foreigner, as burly as a gorilla, answered his incessantly ringing phone, Oh, BOSS, youve finally reached out. We were starting to think youd cut off contact with us.
Cut the small talk, Muer. Im calling you for an important matter, ca Ye Chens icy voice through the phone. I need you and your team to co to Xia Country to help .
BOSS, did I hear you correctly? Youre asking for our help? With your capabilities, what cant you handle? Muer responded in disbelief. In his view, Ye Chen was a near-mythical figure. Was there really a situation beyond Ye Chens control?
Just co when I tell you to. How many mbers do we still have in the Blood Wolf rcenary Corps?
As the leader of the Blood Wolf rcenary Corps, Ye Chen had commanded a group that, while not at the top, was the third most powerful rcenary corps. Their ranking was due to their limited numbers, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they were unrivaled.
Apart from Ye Chen, a non-human being, each mber was exceptionally strong, matching the elite special forces of various nations. These were soldiers forged in the heat of countless battles.
BOSS, after you stepped back, our group was ambushed by enemies. We lost three brothers, and seven others have since left the business. Currently, only twelve of us are active, Muer reported.
Their group had been small, just over twenty mbers, but they had earned a formidable reputation. Even the top two rcenary groups were cautious not to cross them.
Bring them to in Magic City, Ye Chen directed.
But BOSS, entering Xia Country wont be easy. Your nation is notoriously strict with its border control.
Ill arrange support for you. Just get in touch when you arrive, and rember, no weapons. We cant risk you getting caught, Ye Chen directed over the phone. It was safer to source weapons in Magic City through Xiao Yongqiang than to attempt smuggling them into the country.
Xia Country is like a fortress, and frankly, Im not keen on going there. But if you, BOSS, are calling, well be there in two days, Muer replied promptly, acknowledging Ye Chens command.
Brothers, ti to depart this war-torn land. Our BOSS has called us to Xia Country.
Thats fantastic! Fighting alongside BOSS once more.
Is Xia Country dangerous?
Weve survived gunfire and battlefields, theres nothing to fear.
Chen Luo, once my n reach Magic City your end is near, Ye Chen muttered, his eyes red with vengeful determination.
Repeatedly bested by Chen Luo and his allies, the proud Ye Chen found these setbacks unbearable. To save Xiao Qingxue, he had to deal with Chen Luo, there was no other way.
***
Upon reaching the Rose Bar, Chen Luo exited his car and entered the venue.
Im sorry, sir, but were not open yet. The bar operates from 6 PM, a staff mber inford Chen Luo. The Rose Bar wasnt a round-the-clock establishnt, focusing only on evening operations.
Im here to et your boss, Chen Luo responded with a casual smile.
Im sorry, but I cant authorize that, the staff mber hesitated.
Then find soone who can, Chen Luo stated calmly but assertively.
Shortly, the bar manager arrived, examining Chen Luo carefully before asking in a serious tone, Youre here to see our boss?
Correct, I need to discuss sothing important with your boss, Chen Luo confird.
He was at the bar owned by Bai igui*. Faced with the choice between Jin Sanye and Bai igui, Chen Luo had opted for the latter. If she proved uncooperative, his only alternative would be Jin Sanye. However, this posed a challenge since Jin Sanye was backed by the Wang family, one of the four major families of Magic City.
Chen Luo thought, If Bai igui wont ally with , Ill end up provoking the Wang family. Its not wise to create enemies on all fronts, so approaching Bai igui seed like the only option.
What exactly do you wish to discuss with our boss? the bar manager asked, regarding Chen Luo with caution.
There are so things you dont need to know, Chen Luo responded, his deanor calm yet commanding, conveying an air of authority that intimidated the manager. His refined appearance belied a complex and formidable character.
Im sorry, but our boss isnt here, the manager quickly said.
Chen Luos expression turned sharp. If she wasnt here, why would I bother coming? Dont play gas with .
His intense gaze made the manager break into a nervous sweat. Chen Luos confidence in Bai iguis presence was founded on reliable intelligence obtained through his system, leaving no margin for error.
Let him co up, Bai iguis voice sounded in the managers earpiece.
Please follow , the manager said, leading Chen Luo to the sixth floor of the Rose Bar.
At the door of a room, he knocked lightly. The door opened with a click, and an impassive woman stepped aside, allowing Chen Luo to enter.
As for the bar manager who had guided Chen Luo, he lacked the clearance to enter.
Chen Luos attention was imdiately captured by Bai igui, seated with poise on the sofa. She was dressed in an exquisite white gown, contrasted with black tights, creating an eye-catching black-and-white ensemble. Her figure and looks were impeccable, her elegant brows and bright eyes exuding a beauty that matched Zhao Yingxuans.
No wonder Zhao Yingxuan had referred to Bai igui as a great beauty, despite never having seen her in person. True encounters with Bai igui were rare.
Your unfettered gaze seems a bit inappropriate, Bai igui remarked, signaling Chen Luo to sit down.
Chen Luo cleared his throat, acknowledging his involuntary appraisal. Bai igui appeared even more luxurious than Zhao Yingxuan, arguably the most srizing woman he had t. Her allure was on par with the captivating Zhao Yingxuan.
Would you like to introduce yourself? Bai igui asked.
Im Chen Luo, likely a nobody to you, he replied with a smile, accepting a cup of tea from what seed to be Bai iguis bodyguard.
Bai igui observed Chen Luo. She was unfamiliar with his na, but she doubted he was a re nobody. How else could he have pinpointed her location amidst the myriad of Rose Bars in Magic City? She was convinced he must have reliable information sources.
And what is the purpose of your visit? Bai igui asked.
At this, the stoic female bodyguard who had let Chen Luo in tensed up. A visitor like him could pose a threat, and her vigilance for Bai iguis safety was understandable.
Ill be direct. I want you to work for in the future, Chen Luo said candidly, getting straight to the point.
Bai iguis expression remained stoic, but she felt a surge of irritation. She gazed intently at the composed Chen Luo, wondering about the source of his confidence to presu he could persuade her to join his cause.
