153 Hunter Mercenary Group (Sixth Chapter!)

"What?"

Fack!

"Damn it!"

The old Russian's emotions suddenly grew somewhat restless.

He originally belonged to the Mandrills, but now he would inevitably stand by Li Changjiang's side. Therefore, the most ideal outcome would be for Li Changjiang to take over from William and become the leader of the mercenary group. This way, he would neither have to leave the Mandrills nor choose to leave Li Changjiang's team.

This was originally a very tricky problem, but with Williams taking the initiative to ask Li to lead the Mandrills, it was undoubtedly an excellent situation. Damn it! Li actually refused!

He actually refused!

What the actual fack!

The moment Li Changjiang's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly froze. Policar cast an interested gaze at the young Chinese man called Duke. He neither knew nor cared about Duke's Chinese background; what he found truly curious was that Duke would actually refuse Williams's request.

As far as he knew.

The Mandrills Mercenary Group had always ranked relatively high in the mercenary world. Although its standing had dropped significantly recently because the entire mercenary group had been captured by the Libyans, even so, it was still a very decent mercenary squad, at least not some third-rate trash.

Most importantly, Nicholas (the old Russian) was in it.

No one knew his relationship with old Nicholas, but Policar knew very well that even he could not truly afford to turn against the old Russian, unless one day he were to become the master of that massive arms empire.

"Why, Li?"

"Why did you refuse me?"

Williams looked at the Chinese man in front of him in a daze.

He actually refused!

Stared at by Williams, Li Changjiang's mind flashed like a movie, rapidly rewinding through every single scene since he joined the Mandrills.

From his accidental breakthrough at the checkpoint in Tripoli for the first time, to Benghazi, and then back to Tripoli, when all these images merged with the appearance of Williams before him, a curve suddenly lifted the corner of his mouth.

The Mandrills?

No, he would not become the new master of the Mandrills, nor would he replace Williams's position within the Mandrills Mercenary Group, because what he wanted to do was not merely become the master of the Mandrills, but to surpass it.

"Because I am going to create my own mercenary group!"

Hum~

With a boom.

Li Changjiang's words fell like a clap of thunder, a bolt of lightning, striking directly into everyone's ears and sweeping rapidly across the apex of each person's heart. The shock it caused was definitely far more profound than what appeared calm on the surface.

Yet everyone heard Li Changjiang's words clearly!

Damn it!

What he wanted was not just to become the master of the Mandrills, but to found a brand new mercenary group.

Fack!

"What the hell!"

No!

That's facking great!

My God!

He is going to found a new mercenary group!

Without a doubt, since he was unwilling to accept the Mandrills, Duke's target must be a mercenary group that would surpass the Mandrills.

The old Russian was the first to react.

Yet Li Changjiang's actions did not stop there.

"William, I hope you can join my mercenary group and be my second-in-command."

This time, not only was William stunned, but even Policar looked at the young man in disbelief, his heart filled with absolute shock.

Was he truly just a newcomer who had become a mercenary for less than a year?

Incredible!

Policar knew Duke's marksmanship was good!

Yet the Duke before him was not just good at shooting!!

William of the Mandrills Mercenary Group was a mercenary of extremely high rank in the entire mercenary world. If he were to quit the mercenary world because of the Libya incident, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous loss.

However, there could certainly only be one captain between Duke and William. If Li Changjiang were truly to establish a new mercenary group, inviting William to serve as the deputy leader was undoubtedly the best outcome.

However.

Policar knew very well that not just anyone could pull this off, not even him.

This concerned the dignity of a veteran mercenary.

Yet Duke had pulled it off.

William could not refuse.

Not because he didn't dare, but because he could not live without the battlefield. Just as he had told Li Changjiang back then, he was a born soldier; he belonged to this battlefield, and even if he died, he would only die under an enemy's muzzle, not on a hospital bed.

Williams's expression shifted repeatedly.

He truly did not want to leave the battlefield.

Yet the Mandrills Mercenary Group existed in name only. Although unsaid aloud, the old Russian certainly wouldn't continue staying in the Mandrills, Jin's whereabouts were currently unknown, Louis was dead, and the only one likely to follow him was Bob.

Even Bob, however, was staring at Williams with hopeful eyes at this moment, the meaning within them crystal clear: he hoped he would say yes to Li.

"William, join us!"

Li Changjiang suddenly extended his hand.

He was gambling.

If Williams refused, this would most likely be the last cooperation between the two of them. No one would collaborate a second time with a guy who had rejected them.

Yet Li Changjiang won the gamble.

As their hands clasped tightly together, a wave of intense applause suddenly erupted inside the room.

"Boss!"

"Boss! Boss!"

"Congratulations, boss!"

Every face was beaming with joy; unquestionably, they had effectively accepted Li Changjiang's identity as the leader of the new mercenary group.

Soon, however, an unexpected turn occurred—featuring a very unexpected fellow.

"Sorry, boss, I can't say yes to you right now!"

It was Tank!

"Fack! Tank, what are you doing? Do you know what you're doing?"

"Alright! As long as you want to join us, you're welcome at any time. Our doors are always open to you."

Li Changjiang did not ask any further questions; he merely glanced at Tank and dropped that single sentence. Every mercenary had their own twists and turns of history, and Li Changjiang had no desire to pry into anyone's privacy.

Tank's words were actually quite clear. It wasn't that he didn't want to join the new mercenary group, but that he couldn't, or rather, at least for the present moment, he was unable to.

Li Changjiang did not waste too much time.

Since he was founding a new mercenary group, it wasn't just a matter of casually throwing a bunch of people together to fight.

Before that, however, he had another extremely important mission to accomplish: heading to Egypt to find that female doctor named Amanda Anderson, and then finding that watch.

The Mediterranean night was not tranquil. Waves gently lapped against the ship's hull. Having grown up by the water since childhood, Li Changjiang was an excellent swimmer, yet looking at the expanse of the sea before him, he felt timid for the very first time.

"You're formidable!"

The voice suddenly drifted into his ears.

It was Policar!

Li Changjiang didn't need to turn around to know the speaker was definitely Policar.

"Of course, and very courageous as well."

"Oh, by the way, if you ever need anything, perhaps you can look me up!"

Leaving behind those enigmatic words, Policar turned and walked toward the cabin. Seemingly remembering something, however, he suddenly turned back and glanced at Li Changjiang.

"What is your mercenary group called?"

"Hunters!"

"The Hunters Mercenary Group!"
