Chapter 1259: Chapter 1257: He Wouldn’t Dare!

“Are you Mr. Pearson?”

Blinking at Xia Hou to indicate he understood, he immediately smiled at Pearson and extended his hand: “Hello, my name is Hao Jian.”

Upon hearing this, Pearson looked Hao Jian up and down, still full of disdain, and spoke in his Spanish: “With such a small frame and soft hands, how could you possibly deal with Baldeke’s two-hundred-man unit?”

He had heard about Hao Jian’s exploits from his subordinates, but only a few had actually seen Hao Jian thrash Baldeke’s troops. The words of his subordinates, someone as arrogant as Pearson, naturally wouldn’t choose to believe.

Could someone who was a strong opponent for their Government Forces really have units weak enough to be taken down by just one person?

Clearly, no. At least in his opinion, no. He had also sparred with those units and knew their strength. One could say that without three hundred men, Pearson absolutely couldn’t have stalled Baldeke’s two-hundred-man unit.

Moreover, Hao Jian was only one person. For such claims, Pearson was more inclined to believe that Xia Hou’s unit attracted most of the firepower while Hao Jian just killed a few men.

He must’ve just had freakish luck, stepping in dog crap to do it. He couldn’t believe that such a smooth-skinned guy with long fingers and no calluses could deal with so many people.

So when faced with Hao Jian’s extended hand, Pearson didn’t intend to shake it. Instead, he put both hands behind him, looking down at Hao Jian, the little dwarf in his eyes.

“You…”

Tao Tao, naturally jumpy in character, was now furious to see his boss being underestimated by such a fool. He and his men shared the same sentiment. Is this kind of person allowed to look down on our highly respected boss?!

But just as they wanted to show these guys what they were made of, Hao Jian suddenly withdrew his hand, stopping them with a gesture.

“Oh, looks like your men are a bit unruly!”

Tao Tao’s loud voice attracted Pearson’s attention. He glanced at him, then turned his head, looking at Hao Jian, laughing derisively: “No wonder you’re so weak, even your subordinates have no manners.”

After saying this, he glanced at Tao Tao and sneered: “When we leaders are talking, do you, a subordinate, have the right to speak?!”

“Looking for death!”

Upon hearing this, Tao Tao’s eyes widened in anger. This guy’s words were infuriating! Even his boss had never scolded him like this, and who was he?! Does he have the right to speak to me this way?!

“Tao Tao, step back, don’t make a mess!”

Just as Tao Tao was about to go up and confront this guy, Hao Jian gave him a calm look. That serene gaze scared Tao Tao into quickly retracting his extended foot, thinking, my gosh, the boss is angry!

“Heh, Tao Tao, weren’t you speaking so loudly earlier? How come the boss only needed a look to scare you back?”

Seeing Tao Tao pull back his foot, Teng Wei sneered and nudged his back, while the others also wanted to laugh but dared not, stifling their laughter.

They knew that the boss wasn’t really angry at Tao Tao but at Pearson. As the master of God of Death Island, or rather the God of Death, he had never been treated so dismissively, especially by a small country’s minor officer. The status gap stretched thousands of miles apart.

“If you have the guts, go ahead!”

Tao Tao glared hard at Teng Wei.

“No, no, no, I don’t want to face the boss’s expression, even if it isn’t directed at me, it’s still kind of scary.”

Teng Wei chuckled.

“Mr. Pearson.”

Ignoring his subordinates, Hao Jian instead focused on Pearson, looking at his still condescending attitude, inwardly sneering. But since they currently needed their help, Hao Jian didn’t plan to make things too tense.

After all, taking on the role of cannon fodder wasn’t something they were suited for. The best suited for that was Pearson’s group, and they’d be facing Baldeke’s regular army.

No matter how many casualties there were, it wouldn’t be his concern.

“Mr. Hao Jian, Mr. Pearson, I think it would be best for both of you to put aside this topic. We still need to discuss the battle plan. Regardless of your attitudes, this time our Huaxia forces are here to help Mr. Pearson quell the civil unrest in Equatorial Guinea.”

“And please don’t act rashly. After all, Mr. Hao Jian is one of us Huaxia people. If I report this situation to our headquarters, I believe they’ll immediately recall us.”

Seeing Pearson’s face growing increasingly stern, Xia Hou calmly glanced at Xia Hou and said, “We’re aiding out of humanitarian concern. If our humanitarian aid is used against our Huaxia citizens, we’ll immediately retract this humanitarian help.”

Xia Hou’s words clearly pointed out that if Pearson continued to look down on Hao Jian, he would inform the organization still on its way, asking them to return.

After all, no matter where it is, they will not tolerate anyone bullying their own citizens.

Of course, with the magnanimity of a great nation like Huaxia, perhaps they wouldn’t go too far. They just need to let the government forces of Equatorial Guinea know that they are the defeated, while the Huaxia Special Forces are the reinforcements, their redeemers.

The relationship between the two should not be reversed.

“Good!”

Pearson’s expression changed several times, finally letting out a cold snort, waving his hand, turning his head away with a snort.

Pearson’s subordinates were also angry but did not dare to speak. Their commander lost so much face at the hands of these Huaxia people, yet they lacked the ability to regain that face.

“Mr. Xia Hou, isn’t that a bit harsh?”

Seeing Pearson leave, Hao Jian touched his nose and looked helplessly at Xia Hou. He only wanted to let Pearson know who was in charge during the operation.

But Xia Hou actually just used power to force Pearson into submission, which was unexpected for Hao Jian. With his years of experience in Huaxia, the people Huaxia typically dispatches are those with a strong sense of the bigger picture.

Yet Xia Hou, upon seeing his compatriots suffering, didn’t hesitate and just scolded them.

Upon hearing this, Xia Hou laughed and said, “Mr. Hao Jian, don’t take it to heart, it’s just my nature. Even if it were someone else, I would say the same thing. When the state investigates, they won’t do much.”

“When a general is outside, military orders may be disobeyed.”

When he said this, Hao Jian saw the seriousness in Xia Hou’s eyes, which made him quite impressed.

“Alright, I’ll apologize to Mr. Pearson later, because during the mission, I don’t want anyone stabbing us in the back.”

Xia Hou waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on the topic, instead saying with a smile, “Let’s go, the table is set. Let’s join Mr. Pearson and discuss the specific details of this mission action.”

Hao Jian, upon hearing this, shook his head with a smile, following behind Xia Hou, as a light and gentle voice slowly came from his mouth.

“He wouldn’t dare…”

Indeed, Pearson wouldn’t dare. As the last reliance of the government forces, only Huaxia dared to send troops to assist them. They wouldn’t dare cause Huaxia to withdraw its forces because of their actions.

Even more, they wouldn’t dare offend Huaxia, for once they do, the consequences could be more terrifying than the domestic turmoil. If things go wrong, their Equatorial Guinea might have to change its national name.

Even though Huaxia’s actions are constrained by the highest agreements, its allies, however, can take action. Never underestimate the power of any country.

Every time he went out, Hao Jian felt most strongly that having a powerful country as a backing was their strongest support abroad.

Even though he was feared worldwide as the God of Death, Huaxia unreservedly acknowledged his identity as a Huaxia person, and in many places provided him help.

In this regard, Huaxia has already shown enough courage, after all Hao Jian’s enemies are not small birds or insects, but those international big tigers.

“Sit down!”

This table was not very large, but it was full of people, with Pearson and his four subordinates, Xia Hou and his six assistants, and Hao Jian alone not taking up space. Others were surrounding them, with a few on guard against the possibility of warlords sending troops.

“Everyone here is already acquainted, so I won’t make introductions. The cooperation in this operation is primarily centered on Mr. Hao Jian, and the plan will follow what Hao Jian said.”

Xia Hou bowed slightly to everyone with a faint smile, but at the end of his words, his gaze suddenly became sharp as he grinned: “If anyone has any opinions, just speak up, and we will try to perfect them.”

“But I do not wish for anyone to mess up this cooperation, as anyone who does is an enemy of Huaxia!”

Xia Hou once more threatened aloud, causing discomfort and displeasure to the people of the Equatorial Guinea government forces, but they dared not say anything, as they had no choice; the other side’s fists were bigger.

Moreover, their country’s unification still needed their assistance, so they dared not act recklessly.

“Since there are no objections, let’s have Mr. Hao Jian tell us about his plans!”

Xia Hou glanced at them, smiled, turned his head to look at Hao Jian, and when Hao Jian saw Xia Hou’s gaze, he nodded and reached behind him.

Upon seeing Hao Jian’s hand, Evelyn hurriedly handed over the prepared materials, which Hao Jian took and tossed onto the table, allowing everyone to take a copy.
