Chapter 1561: Chapter 784: Brother Leopard Bewildered! (Part 2)

Lin Beichen had to admit, the question Li Kui asked was also something he himself really wanted to know.

He couldn’t help giving Li Kui an appreciative look.

Seeing this through the rearview mirror, Li Kui was secretly delighted, congratulating himself on being smart.

Brother Leopard didn’t think that much. Hearing Li Kui ask how far it was, he answered right away...

"Almost there, just a few more minutes of driving." Brother Leopard looked relaxed, with no trace of worry.

However, he didn’t notice that up in the sky behind the vehicle, a helicopter was following them from a distance.

This helicopter, of course, was the one Li Kui had ordered Xu Qiang to send after them when he left.

Under Brother Leopard’s guidance, they drove on, and before long, a large-scale base appeared before everyone’s eyes.

When the helicopter overhead spotted the distant base, it immediately memorized the coordinates, without daring to get too close for fear of being discovered by the people in the base, and turned around directly to head back.

Before long, the helicopter returned to where Lin Beichen’s main force was stationed—Freedom City.

By this time, the people in the main force no longer felt like chatting. One after another they picked up their weapons and boarded their respective vehicles.

Turns out, they had already begun preparations right after Li Kui left, and were just waiting for the recon team to return with information.

As soon as the helicopter came back, everyone immediately followed it, heading toward the scouted base to rendezvous with Lin Beichen.

Meanwhile, Lin Beichen had already followed Brother Leopard into the other party’s base.

The two Mercenaries guarding the gate saw that Brother Leopard had brought people back, so of course they didn’t stop them. They just asked curiously, "Brother Leopard, how many people did you recruit into the base this time?"

"No, they’re just my friends, here to have some fun in the base." Brother Leopard waved casually, speaking carelessly.

The two gatekeeping Mercenaries didn’t say much more, just let them through with a smile, thinking these people had come to talk business.

After all, their Mercenary Corps often had people coming to trade, paying them to carry out all kinds of missions.

Once he entered the base, Lin Beichen immediately used the system to scan it.

Although the base wasn’t small, in Lin Beichen’s eyes it still wasn’t big enough and didn’t meet his standard for a main base.

So, this place was definitely not going to serve as his main base.

As for expansion, that would depend on whether he could find other, more suitable bases.

Brother Leopard showed Lin Beichen around the base, then said with a grin, "So, how is it? Our Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps base looks pretty good, right?"

"Not really. It’s still a bit too small." Lin Beichen bluntly voiced what he thought. He wasn’t worried about exposing his real intentions, because he had already used a system scan and detected the large force rushing in from afar—his own main force.

Besides, it wouldn’t be long before someone came to inform Brother Leopard about what was happening outside.

After hearing Lin Beichen’s words, Brother Leopard was clearly confused and asked doubtfully, "How is it small? We’ve got plenty of room living here."

"I mean, once my troops get here, this place will be too small." Lin Beichen said casually.

"What did you say?" Brother Leopard was having trouble understanding Lin Beichen now. "By the way, when are you going to teach me those gambling techniques?"

Just as Lin Beichen was about to answer "we’ll talk about it later," someone hurried over and cut in, "Brother Leopard, a large force suddenly showed up outside. The boss wants you to come over."

"They’re not here with good intentions." Brother Leopard’s face changed, and he rushed to leave, wanting to see what the bosses would say.

Then he glanced at Lin Beichen and said, "You guys hang around the base and have some fun for a bit. I’ve got business to take care of, I’ll go first."

With that, he didn’t wait for Lin Beichen and the others to say anything and left in a hurry.

At the side, Li Kui said excitedly, "Brother Lin, our Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps should have arrived."

Lin Beichen nodded; he’d known for a while already.

Then Li Kui asked, "What should we do now? Stay in their base and launch a sneak attack?"

"For a base that isn’t all that big, there’s no need for a sneak attack. Besides, we can see if we can pull them into our ranks and make our Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps’ numbers even larger."

Lin Beichen thought for a moment as he spoke. After all, the more people, the greater the strength.

Though having more people might also mean a mixed crowd and even troublemakers who might rebel, Lin Beichen said he was completely confident he could keep them under control and keep them suppressed.

"Let’s move out and talk to them face to face." With that, Lin Beichen led Aixius and Li Kui, the three of them heading straight for the outside of the base.

Along the way, the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps’ base was in a state of panic and high alert.

Most people had rushed to the outer perimeter of the base, so no one was paying attention to Lin Beichen and his group.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the base gate. The Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps soldier patrolling and guarding the gate saw them coming out and asked, "Where are you guys going?"

Since it had been Brother Leopard who brought Lin Beichen in before, they didn’t suspect him of being an enemy—just wondered what he was going out to do at a time like this.

Could it be that after seeing enemies coming to attack their Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps, he was afraid of getting caught in the crossfire and wanted to leave early?

Lin Beichen didn’t answer the man’s question and walked straight out. The guard was still stuck wondering about Lin Beichen’s reasons for going out and, for the moment, didn’t react, just letting Lin Beichen walk out like that.

After all, he didn’t know if he should stop them. If people were coming in, of course he’d have to interrogate them carefully before letting them in; but Lin Beichen was going out, and he also knew Brother Leopard, which left this gate guard at a loss.

Just as Lin Beichen walked out of the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps base, preparing to rendezvous with his own Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps main force...

Inside a room of the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps, Brother Leopard was also present. They were all sitting together, discussing the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps outside that had surrounded them without attacking.

They were trying to figure out the purpose of the other party’s visit—where they came from and why they suddenly appeared here, since they had never had any contact with the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps.

At this moment, they still hadn’t realized that the large force outside had actually been summoned by Lin Beichen and the others whom Brother Leopard had brought into the base not long ago.

If they knew, Brother Leopard would probably be cursed out like crazy by his own boss.

Just as they were thinking about who to send to ask what the other side wanted and why they were blocking their gate, a younger brother in charge of reporting intel rushed in from outside and said, "Boss, they’re making a move."

"What kind of move?" The boss of the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps was a burly man with a brutal face who had even forgotten his real name. Ever since he founded the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps, he’d given himself a domineering name: Hu Xiaotian.

The younger brothers either called him Boss or Brother Tiger, and his subordinates all followed his example, calling themselves things like Brother Leopard, Brother Wolf, and so on.

"They say they want to talk with our high-level people, and they specifically named that Brother Leopard guy to go."

Hearing this, Hu Xiaotian looked toward Brother Leopard and asked, "Little Leopard, do you know them?"

"Why would they call you out by name to go talk to them?"

Brother Leopard shook his head in confusion and said, "Brother Tiger, I really don’t know. How about I go take a look, sound them out, see who they actually are?"

At this moment, Brother Leopard was still completely in the dark, with no idea that these people were actually Lin Beichen’s subordinates.

Seeing that Brother Leopard had the guts to go negotiate in the other side’s camp, Brother Tiger thought for a bit, then nodded and said, "All right, go take a look. But be careful—bring a few people with you."

"Okay." Brother Leopard answered, then pushed the door open and went out.

Outside, Brother Leopard casually found two people to go with him, since he’d heard from the brothers on the perimeter that the other side had brought a lot of people—three to four hundred in total.
