Chapter 858: Chapter 860: Rescuing Mu Hong, Destroying the Teutons (Part 2)

“Haha, seeing is believing. Welcome, welcome, welcome indeed.”

Shortly after Lin Fei left the ship and jumped into the water, Teutons – a burly man with rugged features, wearing a black skull pendant on his chest, dressed in jeans and a black T-shirt – led his crew onto the missile destroyer where Vulture was stationed.

They say you don’t hit a smiling face, and although Vulture could discern that Teutons was hiding something, both sides hadn’t yet completely torn off the masks.

Of course, what mattered most was that Vulture kept Lin Fei’s previous warning firmly in mind.

Thus, after Teutons spoke, the usually reserved Vulture rare showed some amiable smile, responding to Teutons: “Meeting is fate; I’ve communicated with the boss about the Judgment Order. As long as your attacking nuclear-powered submarine is finally handed to us, we will immediately announce the withdrawal of the Judgment Order.”

Hearing Vulture’s words, the Teutons members aboard the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s missile destroyer, including Teutons, unintentionally relaxed their tense expressions a little.

After Vulture’s words fell, Teutons laughed loudly and said, “Great kindness speaks no thanks; today I, Teutons, swear to the heavens. No matter what, as long as your organization can meet my demands, I will absolutely hand over the complete attacking nuclear submarine to your organization.”

“However, I also have one thing I’m unclear about. I, Teutons, swear that over the years I’ve never offended your organization. I want to know why your organization suddenly issued a Judgment Order against me. Is it because I offended your organization in some way? Or did your organization take someone’s hire? If your organization truly accepted a hire from someone or a force, I want to know, who is that person?!”

After a deep gaze filled with feigned silence at Teutons, Vulture deliberately looked into the distance and cryptically muttered, “The first creed of being a mercenary is to never, under any circumstances, disclose information about the employer. This, I think, doesn’t need much explanation from me, right.”

“I misspoke, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything just now.” After Vulture spoke, Teutons, enlightened, responded while a fleeting hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

The murderous intent in Teutons’ eyes was clearly not directed at Vulture; after all, this was on the missile destroyer of the Hell’s Judgement Organization. Even if Teutons had a few guts, he wouldn’t dare show murderous intent towards Vulture.

Thus, the situation became evident.

Guided by Vulture’s words, Teutons obviously suspected the Judgment Order issued by Hell’s Judgement Organization against him was due to his greatest enemy – Baron.

And the fleeting murderous intent in Teutons’ eyes was apparently directed at Baron.

Casually dismissing Teutons, the Vulture, unwilling to waste words with Teutons, straightforwardly said, “The Judgment Order matter is settled. I’ll abide by the agreement for the next five days. But before that, shouldn’t you show me if your attacking nuclear-powered submarine is worth my staying here to guard it for five days?”

“That’s natural.” Teutons replied casually to Vulture, secretly glancing at the dozen elite personnel of the Hell’s Judgement Organization behind Vulture, showing a difficult expression: “Lord Vulture, you can certainly inspect the submarine anytime, but you can’t bring too many people inside. Firstly, the submarine’s cabin is narrow, can’t accommodate too many people. Secondly, not to fear your ridicule, I’m rather cautious and timid. After all, your reputation precedes you, and now, with heavy troops at the door, I must act carefully.”

“Better safe than sorry, being careful is never wrong.” Nodding to Teutons, Vulture expressed apparently solemnly, “To show our sincerity, I decided to only bring two technical personnel who understand submarines inside. With this, I suppose you won’t have any objections, right?”

“Rarely, Lord Vulture, do you show such magnanimity. I certainly won’t have any objections.” A fleeting, hard-to-detect trace of joy shone in Teutons’ eyes.

After expressing agreement to Vulture, Teutons gestured to Vulture and said, “Without further delay, to ensure smooth cooperation between our two parties, please follow me, Lord Vulture. I’ll take you right now to see the attacking nuclear-powered submarine at my disposal. To show sincerity, I’ll also bring only two others inside.”

“Hmm, let’s do that.”

Casually replying to Teutons, under Teutons’ invitation, Vulture and two technical personnel from the Hell’s Judgement Organization who understood submarines disembarked the missile destroyer and boarded Teutons’ side’s reconnaissance speedboat, heading directly towards the rock-made Alpha-class attacking nuclear-powered submarine floating nearby on the water.

After approaching the submarine, under the smiling gesture of Teutons, Vulture, without much courtesy, went first into the submarine.

Next, the two technical personnel who understood submarines entered.

After Vulture and the others entered the submarine, Teutons, showing undisguised excitement, led two of his crew members inside without hesitation.

…

“I need a reason!”

Inside the submarine, surrounded by more than thirty people from Teutons’ side with guns drawn towards him, Vulture stared at Teutons with a piercing gaze, speaking coldly, word by word.

“Lord Vulture, don’t misunderstand, I absolutely don’t mean to harm you. First, I don’t have the guts. Second, I wouldn’t put myself in a predicament. By saying this, you might not understand clearly, Lord Vulture. Hence, let’s speak frankly.”

“I don’t intend to breach the contract, just like I said earlier. As long as my conditions are met, this rock-made Alpha-class attacking nuclear submarine will absolutely be handed over completely. However, I need to change some of our cooperation terms.”

“How do you want to change them?!”

“Very simple, I know your time is precious, Lord Vulture. Therefore, no need for you to waste five days here guarding me. I only need to borrow your strength by helping me eliminate Baron in Soloha and regain control of the Soloha Pirates.” As if perceiving Vulture’s disdainful coldness, Teutons tried to persuade, saying: “Don’t rush to decline, I know my request might be somewhat excessive.”

“But currently, not only do I have this nuclear submarine at hand, but I also have you, Lord Vulture. I believe, by adding these two factors, I should be able to pay your organization enough to wipe out Baron, right? Of course, I know your mood now, Lord Vulture, wouldn’t be too good. So to express apologies, after achieving success, I’m willing to open the entire Soloha market to your side.”

Speaking of this, Teutons actively approached Vulture a bit, subtly tempting Vulture by saying, “I’m not just referring to the mercenary market, but the entire domestic market of Soloha. Your organization can engage in all business. I think my sincerity should suffice, right?”
