Chapter 1958: Chapter 1957: An Acquaintance
Ling Feng smiled, shook his head, and said, "How could I? I just want to et these war profiteers, I won’t kill anyone!"
"Uh..."
Upon hearing his tone, Toli felt a bit uneasy, pondering for a mont before continuing, "Their people are not in the city; they’ve always been at the border military base."
Finishing his sentence, he seriously looked at Ling Feng, "Mr. Ling, do you really want to intervene in our national affairs?"
"I’m not looking to intervene, but I don’t want your place to continue in chaos, with great resources handed over to those vampires for nothing!"
Ling Feng smiled, looking at him and asking, "You should know very well where the lifeblood of your country lies. Even if you have control of the governnt, ultimately you’ll have to follow orders from others. Should anything go wrong, they’ll find a new proxy, and your country will be back in chaos again!"
"I understand."
Toli nodded, wiping the sweat off his forehead, "But we lack strength. In the face of others’ military might, how can we not yield!"
Ling Feng also understood that fundantally changing a region’s situation is a very difficult task.
As long as there are people, there will be conflict; and as long as the people do not live well, unable to eat or dress warmly, there will inevitably be unrest.
After pondering for a while, he said to Toli, "I’ll go et those people first; if possible, I’ll try to drive them away, giving you so ti to change the dostic environnt!"
"That would be wonderful, thank you so much, Mr. Ling!"
Upon hearing this, Toli’s face instantly lit up with delight.
Ling Feng shook his head, "No need to thank ; I also hope my oil field can have stable production, not be constantly influenced by the situation."
Just as he was speaking, Gerard arrived.
He ca with two soldiers, and upon entering and seeing Ling Feng, the anxious-looking Gerard finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he was safe.
Ling Feng saw he was fine and hadn’t been mistreated, so he stood up and nodded, "It’s good that you’re alright; now co with
back to the oil field!"
"Alright!"
Gerard nodded, not saying a word.
"Mr. Ling is rare to co by; won’t you stay for a al?" Toli stood up and asked.
He had lived in Huaxia for several years and was quite familiar with Huaxia customs.
Ling Feng looked at him, shook his head, and said, "No need for a al; I’ll go have a look at the Arica base soon. What’s your patron’s na?"
"Helms, he’s an arms dealer," Toli said.
"Alright then."
Ling Feng nodded and turned to walk out.
Toli and his group hurried to follow, seeing him out the door.
Outside, Ling Feng summoned Ghost Dragon, then pulled Gerard up, imdiately soaring into the sky!
Watching the enormous Ghost Dragon disappear without a trace, Toli and the others stood there motionless!
It wasn’t until their necks were sore from watching that Toli ca back to his senses, sighing deeply, "Mr. Ling’s power is truly astonishing. In a world with such formidable strength, we are practically like ants."
Having witnessed Ling Feng’s power, he suddenly felt a bit disheartened.
What use are thousands of soldiers, long spears, cannons, even missiles?
With just one person, one dragon, he could crush their entire military force!
With imnse disappointnt, Toli silently turned back into the room.
At this ti, Ling Feng brought Gerard back to the oil field, and once landed, he asked, "What were you thinking, running into the city alone to reason with them?"
"I thought the new governnt would be reasonable. The land we bought wasn’t very expensive, but that’s because no one knew there was oil there. We later developed the oil field, which isn’t really opportunistic, right? They should talk things out, not arbitrarily reclaim the oil field!"
Gerard said earnestly.
Ling Feng looked at him, "Now you understand reasoning won’t work?"
"Yeah, as soon as I got there, their soldiers detained , nearly executed !"
Gerard chuckled bitterly, then continued, "Luckily you arrived in ti, otherwise I’d have really been in danger!"
"Alright, don’t do such foolish things in the future. They have guns and think they’re strong. If they really kill you, how could I avenge you, when I can’t resurrect you?"
Ling Feng said a sentence, then continued, "Keep working; I’m going to find that Helms guy!"
He turned to leave, Gerard followed up and asked, "Boss, what are you looking for this person for?"
"He’s Toli’s real backer, the true manipulator supporting him to seize power; I want to check him out. With him around, our oil field might run into trouble!" Ling Feng said.
"I know this person, he represents Arica’s interest group, backed by the Mifu Group, a large multinational energy corporation with oil fields worldwide!" Gerard said.
"Developing energy is fine, but manipulating politics and initiating wars, that’s wrong!"
Ling Feng laughed, then said, "I don’t care what group they belong to; for the sake of profit, causing thousands of people to be displaced or lose their lives, that’s unacceptable!"
"Alright."
Gerard knew he couldn’t persuade him, helplessly nodded, and watched Ling Feng leave the oil field.
Having been here several tis, Ling Feng knew where the Arica base was, so he jumped onto Ghost Dragon’s back and flew southwest.
Five kiloters away, Divine Sense could already see the situation at the base.
Ling Feng saw two fighter jets pulling off the runway, soon lifting their noses and rushing into the sky.
Soon after, those two aircraft swooped past him.
"They must have spotted
on radar!"
Ling Feng chuckled, letting Ghost Dragon land. Seeing the two fighters had no intention of attacking, just circling around, he then strode towards the base!
Shortly thereafter, a few Humvees from the base drove hurriedly over.
The two sides quickly t, Ling Feng paused, and they stopped their vehicles.
Soon, a few camouflaged Arican soldiers got out of the cars, their hands empty, without weapons.
"Mr. Ling, long ti no see!"
A familiar voice ca, followed by the speaker removing his sunglasses.
Upon seeing this, Ling Feng quickly recalled eting this Arican military interpreter nad Smith in Africa!
He then smiled, nodding and saying, "Indeed, it’s been a while. How did you end up here?"
"I’m here on orders, Mr. Ling, please co with ," Smith said.
"Alright!"
Ling Feng didn’t stand on ceremony, directly following him into the Humvee.
As the vehicle returned to the base, Smith asked cheerfully, "Mr. Ling, why did you suddenly appear here?"
