Chapter 1575: Chapter 791: The Scheme Succeeded! (Part 2)

"Five hundred people?" The scarred man obediently sat back down. "Our Phoenix Mercenary Corps only has that many people."

"I really don’t understand why such a mercenary group would come here."

"Logically speaking, we haven’t provoked such a powerful mercenary group!"

To relieve the earlier awkwardness, the scarred man began to analyze incessantly.

"Scar man, now isn’t the time to ponder why they’re here. Sometimes fights happen without hatred, and conflicts of interest make them even more likely," Ye Liebiao said slowly.

Then, he scanned everyone and continued, "Now we have to consider what their intentions are. If they actually fight us, what should we do?"

The entire office fell silent instantly; no one dared to speak lightly at this moment.

Afraid that by giving a suggestion, they might cause trouble for the Phoenix Mercenary Corps that they couldn’t bear responsibility for.

Ye Liebiao’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment; his base lacked those kinds of smart people. Just then, as the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps was about to speak again.

A person walked in from the door.

Everyone turned their heads to look, curious about who would arrive at this moment when everyone was already present.

When they saw who it was, everyone was shocked. Could it be that the opposing side had started their attack?

It turned out to be a young brother who was defending the base entrance.

"Why aren’t you guarding the base entrance properly and ran here instead?"

"Has the opposing side begun attacking?"

An impatient captain asked the question everyone wanted to know.

Upon hearing this, the young man reporting the news froze for a moment but quickly saw the eager and somewhat intimidating looks of the people around him, and then he reacted.

He hurriedly shook his head and said, "Captain Luo, no."

"They sent someone over, asking us to send some senior representatives over to talk."

"Talk about what?"

The impatient Captain Luo immediately asked.

"I don’t know either, the opposing side said we’d know once we got there."

After saying that, the young man stood aside and stopped speaking; he was only responsible for passing messages, and making decisions was not his concern.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liebiao, the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, frowned slightly. Why was the opposing side doing this? What were they planning to discuss?

Then he looked at everyone and asked, "Who is willing to go to the opposing camp and have a look?"

It’s very dangerous to go to the opposing camp for negotiations during a standoff.

So, those without courage dared not go.

However, when Ye Liebiao, the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, said this, the eyes of Li Kui and Tyson, who had been silent for a long time, shone, feeling that an opportunity had come.

Thus, Li Kui loudly said, "Boss, we’re willing to go."

Ye Liebiao felt quite pleased upon hearing this; he thought out of so many people, no one would dare to go. Was he going to have to go personally?

But when he clearly saw Li Kui and Tyson’s appearance, doubt flashed in his eyes: "Are you newly joined?"

"You look unfamiliar."

Though there are quite a few people in the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, not many can be brought to his office; that’s why Li Kui and Tyson seemed unfamiliar to him.

Before Li Kui and Tyson could speak, Captain Qian, who brought them in, spoke first: "Yes, Boss, they recently joined our Phoenix Mercenary Corps. I think they’re great, so I keep them by my side."

"Captain Qian, now that’s being close to the water," someone suddenly said.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the speaker, including Li Kui and Tyson.

However, Li Kui’s eyes were full of confusion, not recognizing this person. But Tyson’s eyes lit up, recognizing him.

This person was Captain Chen Bing, whom he had met at the gambling house and who introduced him to the Phoenix Mercenary Corps.

Tyson immediately understood why the other party would say such a thing. Back then, Chen Bing strongly wanted him to join his Fire Team and follow him.

But who could have thought that Tyson would end up following Captain Qian?

"Oh? What’s going on here?" Ye Liebiao, the leader of the Phoenix Mercenary Corps, asked.

"Boss, I met this person at the gambling hall before. At the time, he said he wanted to join the Mercenary Corps, so I brought him back. I saw he was strong and had already talked about joining my Fire Team, but after a test, he was assigned to Elder Qian’s side." Chen Bing hurriedly explained.

After hearing Chen Bing’s explanation, everyone showed an enlightened look, understanding the ins and outs of the situation.

"Let’s not discuss their destination for now; let’s solve the matter at hand first," Ye Liebiao said.

After all, if they couldn’t overcome the current situation, the Phoenix Mercenary Corps wouldn’t be able to survive; discussing their whereabouts would be meaningless.

Chen Bing, hearing the boss say this, didn’t bother anymore, just sullenly returning to his seat.

As for who he was angry with, it certainly wasn’t the boss or Tyson; it was Captain Qian. He believed that Captain Qian probably used his status to forcefully take Tyson because of his capabilities.

In truth, Tyson didn’t care which team he joined because he planned to leave eventually.

"Boss, it’s not suitable to send these two newcomers, I’ll go along too," Captain Qian suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. Elder Qian truly was old and fit, not afraid to die.

Mmm, maybe it’s because with age comes fearlessness.

However, what happened next was even more surprising.

Chen Bing actually stood up and said, "Sending only one captain, and he’s an old guy, seems inappropriate. I’ll go too."

Everyone was speechless hearing this. They knew Chen Bing was annoyed because Elder Qian took the person he chose, leading him to follow.

Moreover, since Tyson was going, he had even more reason to go.

Ye Liebiao, the Phoenix Mercenary Corps leader, just wanted to end this farce quickly, so he waved his hand and hastily decided, "Alright, you four go together."

If the subordinates aren’t united, and if the leader finds it difficult to command, being a leader is indeed draining. Ye Liebiao found himself in such a situation.

"Quickly go and return, see what the opposing side wants." Subsequently, Ye Liebiao had someone escort Li Kui and the group of four out.

The four headed out of the base, going towards Lin Beichen’s troops.

Li Kui and Tyson gradually relaxed and became happy from the tension of staying at the Phoenix Mercenary Corps base; they finally could return to their base, to Brother Lin’s embrace.

Meanwhile, Elder Qian and Chen Bing’s Mental Realm were in stark contrast to theirs. Leaving their base to go to the opposing troops, an invisible tension was tightly stretched in their hearts.

Claiming not to be nervous was impossible.

Soon, Lin Beichen’s side also saw the four people approaching from the opposite side and knew these four must be here to negotiate.

But as the people approached, seeing their appearance clearly, Lin Beichen found it rather amusing.

The opposing side actually sent Li Kui and Tyson, these two "spies" of his, to negotiate with him.

It was comical to him.

Did the opposing side intend to use this tactic to assassinate him?

At this moment, Li Kui and Tyson arrived in front of Lin Beichen’s troops.

Elder Qian and Chen Bing immediately spotted the outstanding young man leading the crowd.

Both were quite astonished as they didn’t expect the leader of so many opposing people to be so young and handsome.

The jealousy was real, especially for Chen Bing.

"Which mercenary group are you from? Why do you surround our base? We probably don’t know each other, right?" Elder Qian said bluntly.

At this moment, Li Kui and Tyson didn’t reveal their identities directly but looked at Lin Beichen, wanting to see what his plan was.
