Chapter 1563: Chapter 785: Explosive News! (Part 2)

Then, Lin Beichen slowly opened his mouth and repeated the three choices he had previously presented to the Ford Mercenary Corps.

"First, your Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps joins our Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps."

"Second, disband on the spot, so you won’t have to worry about where to stay anymore."

"Third, I ask you to leave."

This time, the situation was different from the previous attack on the Ford Mercenary Corps, so the content was slightly adjusted.

But Lin Beichen’s words were still excessively domineering, enough to infuriate any normal person.

Not to mention the hot-tempered Brother Leopard.

His face turned ashen as he said, "What?!"

"Didn’t hear clearly?" Li Kui, seeing this guy dare to shout at Lin Beichen, immediately stepped out, "Want me to repeat it for you?"

However, Lin Beichen waved his hand, indicating not to mind the details, then calmly said to Brother Leopard, "Go back and tell your people of the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps."

"Remember, you only have 15 minutes. If by then there’s no response, I’ll assume you chose the third option."

Upon hearing this, Ped behind Lin Beichen thought he had heard something similar not long ago.

After thinking for a while, he realized it was the same words Lin Beichen had said to him previously. It still sounded overwhelmingly domineering and headache-inducing.

Ped pondered in his heart, if he were one of the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps, what would he choose? Would it be the same choice he made before, to join Lin Beichen?

Ped felt it would likely be that choice.

Upon hearing Lin Beichen’s words, Brother Leopard was also left with no choice, given the opponent’s strength.

So he could only turn around and go back, intending to relay Lin Beichen’s words word for word to their boss, Brother Tiger, and let the boss find a solution.

Back at the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps, Brother Leopard immediately recounted Lin Beichen’s words to their boss, Brother Tiger, without missing a beat.

"You want me to hand over the mercenary corps I founded myself? No way!"

"Absolutely not!"

Brother Tiger is not like Ped from the Ford Mercenary Corps. Ped is middle-aged and no longer wants to bear the enormous pressure of managing a mercenary corps.

But Brother Tiger is still young and spirited, so he feels extremely angry about Lin Beichen wanting to take away his mercenary corps.

Brother Leopard was also very angry because this Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps was built through hard work with Brother Tiger and Brother Wolf and some other brothers.

Now having to hand over all their heart and soul, how could he not be angry?

But he had also closely observed Lin Beichen’s forces, the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps.

He was well aware of the gap between his mercenary corps and the opponent.

Then, he sighed and said, "Hey, Brother Tiger, what do you suggest we do?"

"The opponent is already at our doorstep. When I went there before, I had already witnessed the strength of their forces."

"In numbers and weapons, they are more than double ours."

Upon hearing Brother Leopard’s words, Brother Tiger was immediately displeased: "Even if the opponent is stronger than us, if they want to deal with us, we must take a bite out of them!"

Brother Tiger’s resolute words, speaking of destroying both jade and stone, made Brother Leopard feel he was too naive and childish.

Without witnessing firsthand the strength of Lin Beichen’s forces, one simply couldn’t imagine how strong that team was. So, Brother Leopard hurriedly advised: "Brother Tiger, if we really fight them head-on, we might not even be able to take a bite out of them."

As soon as these words were spoken, Brother Tiger was visibly displeased. Wasn’t it apparent that his hard-managed mercenary corps was worth nothing in the opponent’s eyes?

He immediately glared at Brother Leopard with displeasure, reprimanding: "What kind of talk is that, boosting others’ morale at the expense of one’s own courage."

"Unless you want me to choose to join them?"

Seeing Brother Tiger misunderstood his intentions, Brother Leopard quickly explained: "How could that be, Brother Tiger, I’m really out of ideas. Over these years, our brothers have lived and died together, and I can’t bear to see them lose their lives in vain."

While speaking, Brother Leopard called out the two younger brothers who had gone with him before to Lin Beichen’s forces, and told Brother Tiger: "Brother Tiger, you can ask these two brothers who went out with me, ask them how the opponent’s strength really is, and how it compares with us."

Hearing Brother Leopard’s serious words, Brother Tiger was somewhat moved. But thinking of handing over his mercenary corps, he was indeed reluctant.

While weighing the dilemma, he inquired these two younger brothers who had followed Brother Leopard to Lin Beichen’s forces about their situation.

This inquiry really shocked him. The opponents were not only well-equipped and numerous, but also had a disciplined and uniform team, definitely not an ordinary force.

However, while Brother Tiger was still hesitating, Brother Leopard suddenly glanced at the time, suddenly remembering something, and urgently said: "Brother Tiger, the opponent only gives us 15 minutes to consider, and now there is very little time left."

"What do you think we should choose?" Brother Leopard threw the dilemma to Brother Tiger.

Brother Tiger was anxious, sweat dripping down his forehead, after thinking for a moment, he helplessly sighed and said: "Little Leopard, you decide, whatever you choose."

Seeing Brother Tiger returning the choice to himself, Brother Leopard didn’t hesitate anymore, and directly said: "Alright, then I’ll go tell them we’ve chosen to join them."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Brother Tiger felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years, losing all his drive instantly.

On the other side, Lin Beichen’s team saw Brother Leopard walking towards them with a forced smile, and Ped felt secretly pleased.

They indeed chose the first path.

It’s actually not difficult to decide, between swallowing pride and direct annihilation, many will choose the former.

After all, opposing Lin Beichen would be akin to signing one’s own death warrant, wouldn’t it?

"Hey, Little Leopard, back so soon, how’s it going?"

Li Kui knowingly asked, "Which path did you choose?"

People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Brother Leopard forced a smile and said, "Our boss and all the brothers chose the first option, to join you."

"It’s wise of you..."

Li Kui was about to utter some mockery but was interrupted by Lin Beichen: "From now on, we’re all family, Li Kui, let’s not start any internal conflict."

Seeing Brother Lin speaking up, Li Kui naturally didn’t dare act up anymore, obediently closing his mouth and standing proudly on the side.

Brother Leopard saw Lin Beichen speak up for them, instantly feeling that having such a boss might not be bad, just not knowing how capable he truly was.

Li Kui seemed to see through Brother Leopard’s mind and began to speak again: "Brother Leopard, aren’t you curious why we all want to follow Brother Lin?"

"How strong is he?"

Seeing Li Kui this time wasn’t suppressing or mocking new members, Lin Beichen didn’t interfere much.

Brother Leopard suddenly became very sensible, quickly saying: "No matter what Brother Lin’s like, he really has a knack for gambling."

Lin Beichen glanced sideways at this Brother Leopard, feeling he was deliberately hinting at something.

So he said: "I know what you want to know, when the team is sorted out, I’ll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Brother Leopard was overjoyed, not expecting that Lin Beichen remembered what he promised before. It seemed following such a reliable boss was truly a good choice.

Li Kui also understood the implication of their words, quickly asking Lin Beichen: "Brother Lin, I want to know too."

At this moment, Aixius also joined the fun: "Me too, me too."

Lin Beichen couldn’t help but feel exasperated with these gambling-addicted people, couldn’t help but complain out loud: "Can’t you all learn from Zhao Ligeng? Being a responsible, dutiful, virtuous mercenary!"

"Alright, I’ll tell you together when the time comes." In order to completely dispel their gambling thoughts, Lin Beichen planned to give them some serious information.

Of course, now was not the time.

Them, still outside, have to conduct a handover ceremony with the Fierce Beast Mercenary Corps’ boss.
