Chapter 360: Ransom
“Old Xing.”
Bald Yu Bai waved his hand, “Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Red Ghost.”
“Mr. Red Ghost will replace… replace that Liu person and be our leader.”
The messy-haired, scruffy middle-aged man glanced at Luo Yan, then raised the wine jug in his hand, “I brewed this alcohol myself. You killed Liu Xiao, so I’ll offer you a drink.”
He tossed the wine jug to Luo Yan, who checked the alcohol concentration of 55% on the ‘Unjustifiable Blaze Eyes’ and then threw it back without expression.
“I’m not used to drinking during the day.”
Xing Chengang wasn’t upset. He took the wine jug, drank a few sips, and said, “I don’t easily offer drinks to others. You don’t appreciate good things.”
Yu Bai looked serious and said, “Lao Chen, why speak like that?”
Luo Yan shook his head to show he didn’t mind.
Xing Chengang continued, “I can work for you, but I have three requests.”
“Give me back Little Qi.”
“I want my own workshop.”
“I only work 8 hours a day, absolutely no overtime!”
The middle-aged man made three requests and then silently looked at Luo Yan.
Luo Yan looked at the bald man nearby and asked, “Who is Little Qi?”
Yu Bai cleared his throat and said, “Old Xing’s daughter is actually not related by blood, she is his adopted daughter.”
“Old Xing treasures her a lot.”
Luo Yan asked softly, “Where is that person now?”
“In a small building named Liu, where the person named Liu keeps Little Qi by her side as a servant girl to control Old Xing, otherwise Old Xing would have rebelled long ago,” explained Yu Bai concisely.
Luo Yan said without hesitation, “Release the person.”
Yu Bai whispered, “Captain Red Ghost, you must think carefully.”
“Without Little Qi by his side, Old Xing will run away at any moment.”
Luo Yan said solemnly, “It’s okay, I am not like Liu Xiao.”
“I am not afraid to return the person to him.”
“But if he delays my business, I will also have something to give back.”
Xing Chengang felt a little numb watching the pure red eyes inside the mask.
Judging from his experience, the person in front of him called ‘Red Ghost’ belonged to the straightforward type.
Just like he said, Red Ghost wasn’t afraid to take people back for himself.
But if he ran away with his adopted daughter, or delayed his business.
He wouldn’t hesitate either.
He would find him, and then kill the father and daughter.
Luo Yan continued, “I can also agree to your other two requests.”
“I have only one request.”
“Complete every command of mine without any compromise.”
Xing Chengang nodded.
Luo Yan gestured and said to Mecha Master Liu Jun, “Take him to see ‘Butcher’ and other mecha, try to repair them as soon as possible.”
He then looked at Yu Bai, “Get ‘Green Snake’ ready, Yu Qiushui’s people will pick it up tomorrow.”
That is the ‘payment’ for Team 1.
After seeing the parameters of the two mechas, ‘Butcher’ and ‘Green Snake’, Luo Yan decisively handed over ‘Green Snake’.
Compared to ‘Green Snake’, the parameters of ‘Butcher’ seemed more suitable for Luo Yan.
‘Butcher’ is a heavy-duty type mecha, focusing on power and defense. Its material armor and Supercore Matrix are installed and matched aiming for high attack and thick defense.
In this respect, Luo Yan was quite pleased, preferring the machine type of ‘Butcher’ over the flexible ‘Green Snake’.
Yu Bai nodded and then said in a serious tone, “Captain, Chen Ling, what do you plan to do next?”
He made a throat-cutting gesture.
Luo Yan shook his head.
Just having taken down Liu Xiao, it will take some time to utilize the resources of Team 3.
At this point in time, even killing Chen Ling and merging Team 4 may not be the best choice.
Luo Yan has limited energy.
He cannot put all his energy into the ‘Heiwu’ organization, which means merging Team 3 and Team 4 in a short time will bring many problems.
Moreover, doing this will make other branch teams feel threatened, especially Yu Qiushui from Team 1.
How will Yu Qiushui feel seeing her influence grow so quickly?
It’s possible that other captains will team up, try to break up their own power, or even destroy Team 7.
Of course, after giving his warning, Chen Ling chose to support Liu Xiao and couldn’t just let him go like that.
Right now, Luo Yan stood up and put away the ‘Ring Dragon’, “Let’s go, let’s go see Captain Chen.”
Arriving at Liu Xiao’s residence.
Luo Yan met Chen Ling in the study.
Chen Ling, who was under thirty, had a fair face, a full figure, and looked quite talented.
At this moment, he looked awkward and restless.
After Team 4 captain Xiao Teng died at ‘Wild Horse Base’, Chen Ling replaced Xiao Teng as captain, but Team 4 suffered heavy losses after the battle at ‘Wild Horse Base.’
Teams 2 and 5 were also eyeing them. In this situation, when Chen Ling received Liu Xiao’s invitation, he almost didn’t think twice and accepted Team 3’s invitation to help at ‘Silver Bay Base.’
In Chen Ling’s opinion, this deal was definitely worth it.
But he never expected that Liu Xiao would be killed on his own turf!
Even now, Chen Ling still feels like it’s unreal.
The door was pushed open.
Chen Ling immediately looked up and saw a figure wearing a cloak and a wooden mask walking in.
Red Ghost!
Chen Ling instantly became nervous.
Thoughts raced through his mind.
‘Red Ghost!’
He still came!
How will he deal with me?
I am also at intermediate level, and now he is not in the mecha. Otherwise, I would take him down with one move.
No, if I kill him, I can swallow Team 3 and Team 7!
Kill him!
Inside the mask, Luo Yan listened to Chen Ling’s thoughts, especially the last two.
But after a moment, Chen Ling dared not make a move.
Luo Yan was not in a hurry, so the two of them just stood there silently facing each other.
As time passed second by second, Chen Ling was already sweating profusely, and finally heard Luo Yan say, “Are you not going to make a move?”
Chen Ling shuddered all over, then sat down with a sad smile.
He knew he had lost.
Chen Ling hesitated for so long whether to make a move, while the other person was waiting for him to do so.
In other words, even if he made a move, Red Ghost had absolute confidence in defeating him!
This discovery completely took away Chen Ling’s fighting spirit.
Glancing at Chen Ling’s expression, Luo Yan said softly, “You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this.”
“Liu Xiao colluding with the ‘Yellow Spring’ organization in the south, using outsiders to create internal conflicts, has been seen as a traitor.”
“Of course, you didn’t know, so I don’t blame you.”
“The organization won’t see you as a traitor either.”
“But since you support Liu Xiao against our Team 7, naturally we can’t just let you go like that.”
Chen Ling was sweating profusely, cursing Liu Xiao in his heart a thousand times over.
Just as Luo Yan said, if he had known how complicated the situation was, he wouldn’t have joined in even if you paid him.
He wryly smiled and asked, “Captain Red Ghost, how do you think we should handle this?”
“Ransom.”
Luo Yan calmly stated, “Pay a ransom of fifty million, and you can go back.”
“If you don’t have enough money, you can use mecha, or military weapons instead.”
