After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

As one of the three giant companies, the Iron-Blooded Alliance has been rooted in Crescent City for a long time, and has always pursued a strategy of getting close to mercenaries.

Resources within the company are basically given priority to supporting mercenaries rather than controlling private companies or bribing politicians.

This approach may seem like putting the cart before the horse in other cities, but in this "Mercenary City", it undoubtedly works wonders.

Mercenaries are the central hub of Crescent City, building a bridge between the high-level and the low-level.

Whoever can control the mercenaries can control half of Crescent City.

After decades of dedicated hard work, the Iron-Blooded Alliance's influence among Crescent City mercenaries has far surpassed that of the Joint Venture Company and the Black Domain Group.

And when Nuo Bai was rescued back to the Edge Building, the mercenaries from all walks of life did not act rashly, and they were all doing it for the sake of Iron Blood. They felt that the Edge Mercenary Group had a connection with Iron Blood, and they could not offend easily.

But after the talk between Dres and Su Mo broke down, he had secretly stated that Iron Blood would no longer care about the edge.

The mercenaries from all walks of life had no scruples, and the offensive started.

The Edge Building is located in the Lakeside Business District and is under the jurisdiction of public security. No one directly carried a gun or fired a cannon from the front. Instead, they chose some eccentric methods.

Self-destructing drones continued to rush towards the edge building, and were shot down by the building's anti-aircraft weapons, bursting into flames in the sky.

There are also remote-controlled robots carrying bombs sneaking into the ground. They are small and highly concealable and can enter the room through the pipes.

However, the defense system designed in the future is very powerful, and the ground defenses are also very dense. Such attacks have not succeeded for the time being.

Some time after the attack broke out, the city council became a little restless.

The Hubin Business District is a core commercial area. There are explosions around the Edge Building around the clock, and the clouds are like exploding fireworks. Various pictures and videos are spread on the Internet, directly occupying the hot search list.

There are all kinds of people, including those who criticize, those who make a fuss, those who make noises, and those who take advantage of others. Who can bear the shame of being thrown directly into other cities?

City Speaker Amir immediately ordered Schenkov to ask the Public Security Bureau to intervene in the matter and bring Sumer back for questioning.

As for Schenkov, he was quite generous. He knew that if Su Mo was taken back to the Public Security Bureau at this time, even for an hour, there would be even greater chaos in the Edge Building.

So he just kept silent and helped Su Mo withstand the pressure from his superiors.

He would verbally agree to any marginal instructions at the meeting, but after the meeting he deliberately failed to carry them out properly. He either missed stamping or forgot to sign the transfer order documents, which made it impossible for the people from the Public Security Bureau to move, so he stubbornly dragged them away.

On the third day, when Schenkov was processing documents in the office, his assistant hurried in: "Director, the Speaker of Amir City called again to ask questions, asking why you haven't sent someone to intervene in the marginal matter."

Without raising his head, Schenkov said, "Hang up the phone and I won't answer any further calls."

The assistant thought he heard wrongly: "No answer???"

Schenkov: "Didn't he lose contact when things got into trouble before? Then I lost contact too! Why, I can't do what he does?"

The assistant was immediately in a dilemma: "Director, please don't act out of emotion. I heard that the city council is planning to go to court to impeach you for dereliction of duty."

Schenkov slapped the pen on the table, put his palm on his forehead, and closed his eyes tightly.

After a moment, he said: "Find a hospital and book an ICU ward."

The assistant was puzzled: "Why book an ICU ward?"

Schenkov cursed: "I'll lie down and pretend to be dead, okay?!"

Last year he denounced Kitahara Hayabusa angrily, and this year he became Kitahara Hayabusa. The usually dignified director was forced to resort to such rogue methods, and his assistants were almost in tears.

He didn't say anything more and silently followed the instructions.

Schenkov dragged his tired body to the window, looked in the direction of the edge building, and sighed: "Brother, please settle this matter quickly, I can only help you get here."

Over the past few days, the Edge Building has been enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

Various attacks were carried out day and night, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.

But starting at noon on the third day, the attacks suddenly stopped.

This strange calm came too suddenly, making people feel that the enemy was brewing a bigger storm, and no one dared to stop and take a breath.

Until that afternoon, a phone call broke the peace.

Su Mo: "Who?"

On the other end of the phone: "Captain Su, at 6 o'clock tonight, I have reserved a private room on the top floor of the White Diamond Hotel. Let's talk about what happened recently."

Su Mo: "Are you kidding me? My headquarters is bombed every day. At this time, you ask me to go to dinner?"

On the other end of the phone: "There will be no more attacks, at least not until we finish talking. No more attacks on Edge Towers."

Su Mo: "Who are you?"

On the other end of the phone: "Friends of Captain Zhou Hannian, you should have heard of my name. Everyone on the street calls me Master Wen."

Su Mo's heart moved.

Master Wen!

This is the founding veteran of the Crescent City mercenary world!

Crescent City was established in Dawn 24. After decades of development, the first large-scale mercenary force appeared in Dawn 83. The entire mercenary industry has a history of 70 years.

And this Master Wen was one of the first batch of great mercenaries active in Crescent City. He had witnessed the ups and downs of the mercenary world and was a living legend in the true sense.

Not to mention middlemen such as Derleth and O'Diana who have risen in recent years, even Zhou Hannian, the current "King of Mercenaries" in Crescent City, has to politely call himself Xiao Zhou in front of Master Wen.

Su Mo: "Master Wen, it was you who stopped those mercenaries?"

Mr. Wen: "It's me. This matter is too embarrassing. People outside are watching our jokes. Everyone needs to sit down and talk."

"You don't have to worry about what will happen to the Edge Building while you are away. My old face is still a bit thin. I said not to be moved, and no one of those mercenaries dared to move."

Given Mr. Wen's status, these words were not false. Su Mo believed them to be true.

This opportunity comes at the right time, everyone on the edge needs to take a breather.

Moreover, if a person like Mr. Wen ends his life in person, there might be some change in the situation, so Su Mo responded: "I understand, I will be there on time."

Mr. Wen hummed and hung up the phone.

Su Mo said to Chu Nanyi behind him: "Xiao Chu, I have to do something tonight. There should be no attacks before I come back. Everyone can have a rest."

"But to be on the safe side, you should stay on the medical floor to prevent any accidents. Thank you for your hard work."

Chu Nanyi nodded: "I'll do the work, just don't worry. Go ahead."

Just as Su Mo was about to leave, Dongdong caught up with him, grabbed his sleeve, and said worriedly: "Boss, it's so chaotic outside, it's a bit dangerous for you to go alone, I'll go with you."

Based on Su Mo's understanding of Mr. Wen, he was a decent man and would not hold a Hongmen Banquet.

But there must be other people at this meal, so it won't be a very pleasant meal, and there may be some talk.

Su Mo thought that he was not good at quarreling, so it would be nice to have a replacement when the time came, so he brought Dongdong along.

In the arrangement of this meal, Master Wen took great care of Su Mo's feelings.

The White Diamond Hotel is located in the Lakeside Business District, less than 10 kilometers away from the Edge Building. If something happens, it will be convenient for Su Mo to rush back to deal with it in time. This makes him have a slight affection for Mr. Wen even before they meet. .

The Black Ark arrived at the White Diamond Hotel and landed in the open-air garage. A man in black came over to help open the door and nodded to Su Mo.

Looking around, we can see that all the entrances and exits of the White Diamond Hotel are guarded by similar men in black, presumably all escorts arranged by Mr. Wen himself.

We walked into the hotel and came to the top-floor box, which was already full of people.

There were more than twenty people present. In addition to Crescent City's most famous mercenary captains and middlemen, there were also some unfamiliar faces, who must have been big mercenaries from other places.

The person sitting at the main seat was an old man, wearing a fiery red Tang suit. His skin was dark brown, and the wrinkles on his face were like dead tree bark. He looked nearly a hundred years old. This was Master Wen, who was usually invisible.

It was already the appointed time, but two people who were supposed to be there were absent.

One is the great middleman O'Diana.

One is Captain Mo Xue and Shangguanli of Yaoguang Star.

Master Wen used his cane to pound the ground gently, and said to Su Mo in an elder's tone: "Sit down. O'Diana is not feeling well today. She told me that she was sick and did not come."

"Captain Su, she used to take such good care of you. Remember to go and express condolences during your busy schedule. You still need to be polite."

Su Mo asked Dongdong to stand behind him. After sitting down, he nodded slightly and said, "Young man, I will teach you."

Lucifer put his hands on the back of his head and joked: "Why didn't Shangguanli come? She is a prosthetic implanter, so she can't be sick too, right?"

Chiyo Kanna said with a playful smile: "Can't you tell? Sister Shangguan is in a dilemma now."

"On the one hand, I don't want to hunt Nuo Bai and have trouble with the edge."

"The other side doesn't want to be at odds with us and wants to continue to live as a mercenary."

"Both parties don't want to offend, so they can only pretend to be sick. This is a shrewd person~"

At this time, Dongdong Lengbuding choked: "Shut up, you bitch man and woman, whether Commander Shangguan comes or not is none of your business, does it make you bark like a dog?"

Lucifer and Chiyo Kanna were suddenly scolded and were both stunned.

Lucifer gradually came back to his senses and glared at Dongdong: "What the hell did you say?!"

Dongdong: "I told you to stop barking and barking. Master Wen didn't even say anything, but you were barking and barking. What, you invited me for today's meal?"

Lucifer was so angry that he picked up the tea cup and was about to smash it.

Xuan Hui next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, and reminded him in a deep voice: "Master Wen is here, don't be presumptuous."

Lucifer subconsciously glanced at Master Wen with a cold expression.

Although his father is an executive of a joint venture, his status is far beyond that of ordinary mercenaries.

But facing this living legend, it’s hard to be too arrogant.

He could only put down the teacup patiently and tapped Dongdong with his finger as a warning.

Dongdong directly raised his middle finger back, making his face twitch in anger.

Master Wen looked at Dongdong with a profound meaning in his tone: "You are young and have no reputation, yet you dare to contradict the leader of the Seven Stars. They say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and I have seen it today."

Su Mo said, neither humble nor haughty, "My Dong Zai has such a temper, please forgive me."

Master Wen smiled slightly: "If you don't treat a person with a violent temper sincerely, you won't be able to convince him."

"It seems that Captain Su is indeed a man who treats his friends sincerely, otherwise he wouldn't be so protective of Nuo Bai."

Quietly, the topic was brought to the point.

Master Wen's expression became serious and he continued: "Today's meal should have been invited by Captain Zhou Hannian, but he has something to do recently and asked me to come forward. It's the Chinese New Year, so I have no choice but to get out of bed."

"You juniors, sometimes you make such a big fuss. Mercenaries are supposed to be a profession that walks in the dark, but what about you? You put your killings on the table one by one, making it known to everyone."

Lucifer was a person who couldn't hold back his words, so he couldn't help but say: "Master Wen, that is a public reward, and everyone is rushing to get it. If we don't fight, others will fight. Can't you blame us?"

Master Wen grimaced and his tone became stern: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you fight. Do you want to pay attention to methods?"

"You started blowing up edge buildings one by one in broad daylight. The media reported this on the front page. Do you want the authorities to lose face?"

Lucifer scratched the back of his head irritably, and didn't bother to talk back anymore, so he simply turned his head to the side.

Su Mo asked: "Master Wen, can I understand that you support the marginal containment and protection of Nuo Bai?"

This is a critical issue, directly related to the subsequent development of events.

A person of Master Wen's level doesn't just have connections in the mercenary world.

He can speak in the government, even in the joint venture, the iron-blooded alliance, and the black domain group.

If he declares that he is on the fringe side, all the forces will try to give him a thumbs-down.

By then, the mercenaries will be unable to move.

You can't step on Master Wen's face openly, right? Don’t you want to hang out in Crescent City?

The 500 million public reward is considered useless.

Everyone was watching Master Wen silently, waiting for his answer.

Master Wen picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and said slowly: "Captain Su, from a logical point of view, I absolutely support you."

"When I was a young mercenary, I was hunted down more than once. I relied on the help of my friends to survive to the age I am today."

"It's human nature to protect your friends. If anyone here can't even understand this, then don't be a mercenary and learn how to be a human being first."

Lucifer and others couldn't help but frown after hearing this, their eyes a little gloomy.

Does this mean to protect the edges?

However, the next two words that Mr. Wen said caused the situation to suddenly change.

"But." Mr. Wen looked at Su Mo deeply and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Captain Su, she can't escape this disaster."

"I've heard of the mercenary Silent Death before. He works efficiently and cleanly."

"Her reputation is pretty good, except for the last time she commissioned an order, which made the Iron Blood team very unhappy."

"I'm not happy anymore. Tie Xue didn't say that we were sworn in with her. Originally, she came out to pay some money and make amends. At worst, I betrayed my old face once and went to say a few words to her, a junior, and the matter was over. .”

"But her fault was that she didn't wipe her butt clean and left the mess behind and retreated."

"She didn't even say hello, she just quit when she said she wanted to, she was eager to draw a clear line with this circle, and now when something happens, she comes to the circle to protect her. How could she do something like this?!" (End of Chapter)
