Chapter 480 He is here
Wang Teng hasn’t come yet?
Su Xia's eyes narrowed. This was very crucial information.
He felt that Wang Teng had already arrived, but was hiding in the dark and refused to show up. He was just observing the reactions of others.
His feeling was not without basis.
Before this, Wu Zhonggui had taken him and Wang Yongqiang to Baimu Town in the suburbs to discuss cooperation with Wang Teng.
Wang Teng arrived very early at that time, but he never revealed his true identity. Instead, he wore a human skin mask, pretending to be a cleaner in the hall, standing in the dark and observing everyone.
There is no doubt that Wang Teng is also a master of disguise.
In the hall at that time, except Su Xia, no one else could see Wang Teng's disguise. Even Su Xia only saw it through the system prompt.
But, at this moment in the room, Luo Xi obviously didn't think so. He probably felt that Wang Teng was deliberately playing tricks on him.
"Isn't Wang Teng here to deal with the masked monster? What? Is he scared?" Luo Xi's voice was very cold, like the chilly wind in December, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"President Luo, don't worry. Boss Wang Teng is on the way."
As the local person in charge, Wang Zhong explained patiently.
He gently put down the knife and fork in his hand, tried to smile, and the hideous scar on his face twisted like a centipede. He said: "Besides, the masked stranger may not come. We all know that the news circulating outside is just a fog thrown by the South Wind Organization."
"Mist?"
Luo Xi snorted coldly and immediately said, "The news of my cooperation with Wang Teng must have been spread by someone in your group!"
“President Luo, you can’t be so absolute. There should be someone in your Southwest Mercenary Union who knows about our cooperation, right?” The corners of Wang Zhong’s mouth twitched, and the smile on his face became uglier, but he was still trying to smile.
In fact, both parties understood that even if no one leaked the information internally, the news of their cooperation would be known sooner or later.
After all, some of what they are doing now is too obvious.
One is responsible for robbery and the other is responsible for protection.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be some connection between them.
Luo Xi said that just to find an excuse to vent his dissatisfaction.
With his status, he has been waiting here for two days and still hasn't seen Wang Teng. What does this mean?
"President Luo, don't worry. It will only take a day or two." The leader of a mercenary organization said with a smile.
"One or two days?"
Luo Xi turned his head and stared at him with cold eyes, asking: "Is it one day or two days? If it is one day, is it today or tomorrow?"
The mercenary leader was stunned: "This..."
"Do you know that in my mercenary union, time is calculated in minutes and seconds!" Luo Xi asked again, with a very unfriendly look.
"You guys are always like this. You can't even get the time right. When will you get back on track?!"
In fact, Luo Xi did want to recruit the wandering mercenary forces in the southwest region.
Only in this way can his Southwest Mercenary Guild break through the original shackles, step up to a new level, expand new playing methods, open up new tracks, create new advantages, and stand out among many large forces.
In the future, he could even annex the mercenary guilds in other parts of the continent, such as the Northwest Mercenary Guild. He had been thinking about annexing them for a long time.
But the Northwest Mercenary Guild is not weak either, and it is not something he can annex now.
If you really think about it, the people in the Northwest are tough and all of them are werewolves. Although there are few of them, their overall strength is even stronger than that of the Southwest Mercenary Guild.
If you want to annex them, you must make a lot of preparations in advance.
Luo Xi arrived here two days ago and his whereabouts were very secretive.
Many people outside still thought that he was still in the headquarters building of the Southwest Mercenary Union.
He came here secretly, one to observe the overall strength of the mercenaries led by Wang Teng, and the other to talk to Wang Teng.
However, two days have passed and Wang Teng still hasn't shown up, not even a shadow has been seen!
As the boss of a large and powerful company, Luo Xi's temper is not that good.
At first he could still bear it. After all, Wang Zhong and the leaders of more than a dozen other mercenary organizations sitting around him were all high-level backbones in Wang Teng’s organization, and there was no harm in having more contact with them.
On the first night here, the two sides had a pleasant conversation and even talked about killing the masked monster.
But after that, as time went by, Luo Xi's patience was worn out.
"Where is Wang Teng?" He asked with a cold face, "Even if he rushed here from Town No. 5 or Town No. 1, two days is enough to get there! Can't Wang Teng fly? Don't tell me that the pair of mechanical wings behind him are just for decoration!"
"President Luo, don't be anxious. Haha, Boss Wang Teng is still dealing with those rumors from the outside world and will be here soon." Wang Zhong said with a dry laugh.
"Humph! He needs to give me an explanation!"
Luo Xi's face looked very bad and he felt quite uncomfortable inside, but he endured it and didn't lose his temper. After all, both parties still had to discuss cooperation.
He has been waiting here for two days, which is a huge sign of sincerity.
Next, it depends on Wang Teng’s sincerity!
Of course, Luo Xi didn't have high hopes for Wang Teng's sincerity.
The contact over the past two days has given him a deeper understanding of these wandering mercenaries.
Among these people, there is a very obvious and common characteristic - greed!
They only want to take, but never ask for anything in return!
These people thought that they had buried their greed so deeply that Luo Xi would not be able to see it. However, living habits and verbal habits formed over the years were difficult to change in a short period of time.
As the president of a large guild, Luo Xi has extremely keen observation skills and can uncover these people's innermost thoughts with just a few simple sentences.
Similarly, Su Xia's observation skills are also quite sharp.
Just by watching for a while, he noticed the subtle atmosphere between Luo Xi and the mercenaries.
" Luo Xi is the leader of a formal organization after all. He can't get along with these wandering mercenaries with a banditry." Su Xia thought secretly, "It is unlikely that he can completely subdue these mercenaries, unless he is willing to spend money and time to train a group of his own people in these mercenary organizations, and then let his own people slowly replace the senior figures of each mercenary organization..."
Su Xia thought of a more reliable plan, but this plan would take too long, at least several years.
Does Luo Xi have the time and patience?
Judging from the current situation, he should not have it.
The cooperation between the two parties will most likely only remain at a relatively superficial stage and it will be difficult to truly join forces.
This speculation made Su Xia feel much more at ease.
After all, these two parties, one bright and one dark, one can do positive things and the other can do negative things, are almost complementary. Once they really unite, even Su Xia will feel a little troubled.
Su Xia remained calm and continued to monitor the conversation, hoping to hear some important information.
However, for the next few minutes, the room fell into an eerie silence.
Luo Xi didn't say anything else and remained indifferent.
The others were enjoying their breakfast, so the only sound in the room was the clash of knives and forks against plates.
It can be seen that several leaders of mercenary organizations are still a little awkward when using knives and forks. They seem to be not used to this way of eating. They may prefer to chew directly with their hands.
But after all, a guest named Luo Xi has come, and to show respect to the guest, we still have to do some superficial work.
Finally, when the meal was almost over, Luo Xi spoke again.
"Has the South Wind organization you mentioned arrived?"
“They should be here, and have infiltrated into the town,” Wang Zhong replied.
"Why didn't you find it?" Luo Xi asked calmly.
“President Luo, you don’t know that the population of the entire town has reached nearly 10,000, and there are more than 200 registered mercenary organizations from outside. It’s a mixed bag, and it’s difficult to figure out everyone’s identity. We can only wait for them to reveal their flaws.” Wang Zhong explained.
“Difficult?”
Luo Xi sneered and said, "I forgot that you don't even have a basic personnel management system. You are still using manual registration. You are really a group of nostalgic people."
"President Luo, why are you mocking me? You also know the difficulties in the wilderness. Mercenaries are scattered and often change their identities. Who is willing to enter their real face and information into the system?" Wang Zhong heard the sarcasm in Luo Xi's voice, but he did not get angry and still explained it carefully.
"You also know that you are a group of scattered sand?" Luo Xi asked him.
"Yes." Wang Zhong answered truthfully.
"I thought Wang Teng had the means to gather this group of scattered sands together."
"President Luo, you are joking. Wasn't this trial held by Boss Wang Teng?"
Wang Zhong laughed twice, then said, "So many mercenary organizations gathered together. This is an unprecedented event. Mercenaries from the entire southwest region are coming here one after another. I believe most of them are here for the reputation of Boss Wang Teng."
"Really? What would you do if the Nanfeng organization rescued the people in advance?" Luo Xi asked coldly.
Hearing him ask this, Su Xia, who was eavesdropping, felt something in her heart.
It seems that Luo Xi knows the real places where the members of the Nanfeng organization are being held.
“No, please rest assured, President Luo.” Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Do you really think that bait can make the people from Nanfeng Organization take the bait?" Luo Xi asked him.
"President Luo, be careful about what you say about bait... Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall... "
Wang Zhong suddenly lowered his voice, his eyes moved slightly, and he made a gesture to whisper.
Even within the entire mercenary organization, only a very few people knew about those baits.
Once the news is exposed, the bait will no longer be called bait, and the whole plan will become a laughing stock.
But Luo Xi didn't care about this plan at all. He just sneered and said, "What do you mean walls have ears? With me here, who can eavesdrop on our conversation?"
"Having said that, we still have to be on guard. The methods used by those people in the Nanfeng Organization are bizarre and unpredictable. President Luo seldom deals with them. Once you have come into contact with them, you will understand." Wang Zhong reminded cautiously.
"oh?"
Luo Xi smiled coldly again and said, "As long as I'm here, let alone those people from the Nanfeng Organization, even the Masked Stranger and Wang Teng can't eavesdrop on our conversation!"
“Yes, yes…”
Wang Zhong forced an ugly smile and said nothing more.
The two of them have different strengths, identities, and cognitions, so it is difficult for them to reach an agreement on certain things, and it is normal to have disagreements.
At this time, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.
And just like that, a breakfast meeting ended in this extremely delicate atmosphere.
From beginning to end, Su Xia didn't hear the information he wanted.
He looked focused, his eyes moving around among the dozen or so leaders .
The dozen or so mercenary bosses have at least one or two hundred men under them, and some even have three or four hundred. They have also long expressed their loyalty to Wang Teng and gained Wang Teng's trust, otherwise they would not be sitting here.
Being able to sit in this conference room is a recognition in itself.
"Some of them should know the real place of detention."
Su Xia calculated secretly, staring at the dozen people, and gradually he became interested.
"If we catch one of them and torture him carefully, can we get the answer?"
Su Xia is quite experienced in torture.
He brought a large amount of healing potions with him and was not worried at all that the other party would die during the torture. He could make the other party feel the pain repeatedly on the brink of death.
However, as soon as Su Xia's thought came to mind, he was interrupted by Wang Zhong.
In the room, Wang Zhong slowly stood up and said to everyone, "That's all for this morning. If you have any questions, feel free to tell me. Also... we must contact each other every five minutes."
Hearing this, the dozen or so mercenary bosses were a little stunned.
"Five minutes?"
"Wasn't it fifteen minutes yesterday?"
“Isn’t this frequency too fast?”
If we contact each other every five minutes, wouldn't that mean we would have to contact each other twenty times in an hour?
By this calculation, they had to contact each other nearly a hundred times in one morning!
Even if they are a couple in love, it is impossible for them to contact each other so many times, right?
"You all know too much. I am doing this for your safety." Wang Zhong said seriously, "The infiltration team of the South Wind Organization must have come in and could attack any of us at any time. Therefore, we must maintain frequent contact and ensure everyone's safety at all times... If anything happens to you, I will immediately start to rescue you and transfer or kill those prisoners of South Wind!"
"Okay then, I'll listen to you!"
“It’s indeed troublesome, but it’s not incomprehensible.”
Thinking of the infiltration team organized by Nanfeng, these more than ten mercenary bosses felt unsure.
Their strength is not bad, the weakest are level three creatures, but their opponent is the mysterious and unpredictable Nanfeng organization after all.
Of course, Luo Xi doesn't need to maintain high-frequency contact.
His strength far exceeds that of everyone present, and this is also the source of his arrogance.
Therefore, he did not listen to the subsequent instructions, but stood up, turned around, walked to the door and opened it.
"Let's go! Call me when Wang Teng comes!"
He said this without even turning his head, very coldly and arrogantly, and walked out of the room directly.
Outside the room, an employee who was cleaning the corridor hurriedly dodged and was almost bumped by Luo Xi.
"Good morning, sir." The employee spoke timidly and hid to the side of the corridor.
Luo Xi didn't even look at him, with a cold expression, and walked straight past the employee.
However, Su Xia, who was observing at the door, suddenly became alert.
He looked at the corridor, his eyes not on Luo Xi, but on the employee who was as humble as an ant.
“This person…”
An ordinary employee should not have attracted Su Xia's attention.
But the problem is, this employee is not ordinary!
Just at that moment, a system prompt popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes.
[Wang Teng: Level 5 creature, the king of mercenaries in the southwest region...]
Wang Teng!
He is here!
