#65 - Chapter 65 Dongfang Chen Comes Out
“I also received the notice a few days ago, saying that you plan to establish a mercenary guild here. The boss thought I would be a suitable candidate for the guild leader, so he asked me to come back. Zhenhai has a new mission and has rushed to Kyoto,” Brother Zhang said.
Niu Xingwang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, his Bone Wheat rang. It was Dongfang Chen calling.
“Hello, Mr. Dongfang,” Niu Xingwang answered the phone.
“Brother Niu, Qu Zhengping just reported a new situation that concerns you,” Dongfang Chen said.
“Oh? Concerns me?” Niu Xingwang asked, puzzled.
Qu Zhengping's code name is Sparrow, and he is stationed at the Huailing Resettlement in Huaizhou.
“How could he have news related to me?” Niu Xingwang wondered.
“Yes, he has infiltrated a sect called the Red Robe Sect. Just now, he got news that three Enforcers will secretly go to Meilin. Their target is you,” Dongfang Chen said.
“Red Robe Sect? What kind of sect is that? Why are they targeting me?” Niu Xingwang felt baffled.
“It’s not clear yet. Let’s wait for his further news. You should prepare early and don’t be careless,” Dongfang Chen replied.
“Okay!” Niu Xingwang agreed.
“By the way, is Brother Zhang there yet?” Dongfang Chen asked.
“He just arrived.”
“Good! Then you guys discuss how to deal with it. I’ll call you again if there’s any news.” With that, Dongfang Chen hung up the phone.
“Boss Niu, what happened?” Brother Zhang asked with a frown.
“Just now, Mr. Dongfang called and said that a group called the Red Robe Sect has sent three Enforcers to Mozhou, preparing to deal with me,” Niu Xingwang replied.
“Red Robe Sect?” Brother Zhang exclaimed in surprise.
“What? Lao Zhang, have you heard of them?” Boss Niu asked.
“Not only have I heard of them, but I’ve also fought them once,” Brother Zhang said.
“When? Where?” Boss Niu continued to ask.
“Before New Year’s Day, in Kyoto. I encountered them inadvertently at the time. There were five of them, all wearing dark red cloaks and masks, and they were in a hurry. As soon as I was about to step forward to inquire, they attacked directly. All five of them were very skilled. If I’m not mistaken, they should all be Mutants, and Mutants who have mastered abilities. Fortunately, I had already awakened my ability at that time, and they couldn’t keep me. It’s also possible that they had an urgent mission and didn’t want to stay,” Brother Zhang briefly explained.
“Does Mr. Dongfang know about this situation?” Niu Xingwang asked.
“Yes. I reported it at the time. The boss only said one sentence: ‘Be careful,’” Brother Zhang replied.
“It seems that we still know very little about this world!” Niu Xingwang exclaimed.
“Indeed. But we must be careful in dealing with this matter.”
“That’s right. I’ll take you out to meet everyone later. These people are all newly recruited veterans, a total of 100 people. The people in the Field Operations Team have already been vaccinated, and this part will be assigned to you to command.”
Niu Xingwang took Zhang Yuankui to the first-floor lobby and had everyone gather.
He told everyone that Tian Sha was a newly recruited employee, formerly a Special Forces soldier. He would be fully responsible for the affairs of the Mercenary Guild from now on, and all 43 members of the Field Operations Team were assigned to the Mercenary Guild.
“Good. From now on, all field missions of our Huatong Chamber of Commerce will be fully handled by the Mercenary Guild.”
Afterward, Niu Xingwang led Shen Wengang to the Mercenary Guild’s office location.
“Tian Sha, I’ll leave the Mercenary Guild to you to manage from now on.”
In front of everyone, Niu Xingwang shook hands with Zhang Yuankui as a gesture and said.
“Don’t worry, Boss Niu, I won’t let you down,” Zhang Yuankui replied with a smile.
… …
Two days later.
January 7, 2055 AD.
“Xiao Lin, is it okay now? We’re armed to the teeth, so there’s definitely no problem,” Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
“Commander…” Xiao Lin was about to dissuade him, but was interrupted.
“Alright, alright! I know! My safety is of great significance, and I can’t take risks easily! I’m tired of hearing it. But you have to understand that I’m a human, not a robot. I can’t stay in a confined space for thousands or tens of thousands of years like you guys. You should adjust the plan properly during this period and give me more scenes. I can’t always hide in the base,” Dongfang Chen complained.
He had really been bored to death during this time. The only opportunity to “stretch his legs” was when someone came to the safe house. Anyway, no matter who came, he would quickly go out and take a glance.
“Okay, the time is almost up, I should leave. By the way, the Main Control Pod should be ready soon, right? After the Main Control Pod is built, start building the Production Pod directly, and you don’t need to report to me.”
“Okay, Commander.”
“Well, contact me through Bone Wheat if anything happens, that’s it.” With that, Dongfang Chen left the office.
… …
“Lang li ge lang, lang li ge lang…” Dongfang Chen walked on the cluttered road, humming a song with an unknown name.
“Stop!” Dongfang Chen was enjoying himself when someone suddenly shouted from behind.
“Huh?” Dongfang Chen turned his head.
“Hey kid, who are you from? What are you doing wandering around here?” A burly man asked sternly.
