Chapter 256: Taking Action (First Update)
Fatty Boss and Zhou Rui quickly agreed on a place. 20 minutes later, they met in a teahouse. Zhou Rui couldn't go to Fatty Boss's office.
The business that the fat boss does is originally in a gray area. Anyone who wants to enter his office must consider it carefully, especially if it is not one of his own.
"Recently, a group of free mercenaries from the Crimson Federation came to March Star, but their target was not Yang Bo, but another wealthy businessman who escaped from the Federation." Zhou Rui said quickly after the two sat down in the teahouse.
When the fat boss heard this, he was not surprised that the Bounty Hunter Guild knew the news.
"Yang Bo said someone was following him, so I asked him to go to our company's dormitory. Unexpectedly, the other party actually attacked us. Even the police drones were lost a lot, and it was said that three fighter planes were lost!"
"These trash from the alliance, the other party has so many weapons deployed, but they don't have any intelligence. They deserve to have their fighter planes shot down."
"Yang Bo was captured by them. I suspect it happened last time." The fat boss became angry when he thought about it. He was also engaged in illegal business, but compared to others, he would hit his head against the wall just thinking about it.
"They came 20 days ago. How could it be because of what happened last time? We used all means against those people last time. You can rest assured that our union will handle the matter."
"What happened today is definitely not simple. There must be forces involved that we don't know about. I have already asked people to collect intelligence."
"If you dare to catch guys like Yang Bo, please wait for me. As long as they are still in civilized society, do you want me to offer a reward?"
When the fat boss heard this, he said angrily: "We haven't figured out the reason yet, so don't worry for now. There must be a reason for the other party to arrest Yang Bo. It is estimated that his life will not be in danger."
The fat boss now has a bold idea in his mind. The last time Yang Bo returned to March Star, he received a piece of news.
"I have some news here." The fat man hesitated for a moment and then told the news.
Zhou Rui's eyes widened: "You should have told me this news earlier. The Ashes organization would have gone crazy if it suffered such a big loss this time."
"The Ashes organization suffered a disaster in the alliance this time. Many people who were deeply lurking were all arrested or disappeared. The vague cause pointed to the Green Devil."
"But the Green Devil is now blocked by the alliance's main fleet. Unless the Ashes organization mobilizes two to three main fleets, it may be possible to log in to the Green Devil."
"They are going crazy now, and they seem to be using the lowest level of intelligence personnel. This makes sense. March Star has not been developed for many years. There was no global early warning system in the early days, and many things can be smuggled on this planet. "Zhou Rui connected the whole thing in one go.
The fat boss was speechless: "How can a resident like Yang Bo know any news? These dogs are crazy."
"They are indeed crazy. The army is launching a new round of review, and the army is basically isolated from the outside world." Zhou Rui said again.
"And there is evidence that the Ashes Organization colluded with pirates to attack the Green Devil Planet Fleet. Surprisingly, the Alliance seems to have known about it in advance and sent a main fleet to reinforce it."
"I rescued you on the way, but when we got there, there were actually members of the Red Count extremist group in the reinforcement fleet. The Ashes organization was judged to be in collusion with members of the Red Count extremist organization."
"The Ashes organization has now been classified as an extremist terrorist organization within the alliance. Anyone who is confirmed to be a member of the Ashes organization will be killed."
The fat boss had not received such detailed information before. After listening to Zhou Rui's words today, he suddenly realized: "No wonder this guy is like a mad dog."
At this time, a waiter knocked on the door outside the box. After the fat boss nodded, he came in and said: "Dear two guests, March Star has issued a martial law order. The planet has been under martial law three minutes ago. I hereby inform you two. "Bit."
The fat boss was a little surprised when he heard this, while Zhou Rui on the side walked out.
The planet's martial law is no joke. In other words, from now on, the planet will be cut off from everything outside, and even communications will be cut off.
Zhou Rui came back, and the waiter had already left: "It is said that an important person is missing, and the martial law order was issued by the Planet Fleet."
"There were three people who attacked your place, and three others went to another place. I haven't found out who was kidnapped specifically, but based on inference, it should be someone from the military, because it was sent by the Planet Fleet. Martial Law.”
"I'm relieved. I guess Yang Bo's problem is not big. Some people are more anxious than me." When the fat boss heard this, he decided not to participate. He originally planned to use all means to rescue Yang Bo.
Now there are people who are more anxious than myself, who is in charge in the league? Many people say it is the parliament, but this is actually nonsense. The military-industrial complex has the biggest say.
Many of the military's expenditures are unclear. Of course, there are investigators who try to investigate, but unfortunately everything goes wrong...
Moreover, the fat boss felt that it was best not to get involved in this kind of thing because of his small body. If he could seal off a planet to find someone, his identity must be extraordinary.
On the other side, Yang Bo was on the yacht, looking at an underwater submersible next to the yacht, and looked up at the sky. Couldn't the planet's warning system detect it? Is it invisible?
After boarding the underwater submersible, Yang Bo didn't panic at all. He was curious about who his employer was this time. Is it the Ashes organization?
The leader A brought several people and a bag into the underwater submersible.
When Yang Bo came down, he measured it with the sound of his footsteps. The underwater submersible was about 50 meters long, with an elliptical cross-section and a height of about 6 meters. The overall shape was streamlined.
"Welcome our warriors." After coming down, he saw a white and fat middle-aged fat man. His sparse hair made people know that he was a strong man, wearing a set of casual clothes.
There were three people following behind him. These three people were also dressed very casually, and they looked like they were going out to sea on a yacht.
"Thank you, where is our reward?" The leader A waved his hand, and J put his bag on the ground and asked.
"We need to see the goods first." The fat white man said with a smile.
Yang Bo was also very curious. Who did these people catch with such a big battle?
"Of course no problem." A asked J to open the bag while speaking.
After the bag was opened, it was a woman wearing a white home clothes with a confinement collar around her neck.
"Not bad." The fat white man waved his hand, and someone immediately came to check the woman, looked carefully, and then nodded. The fat white man praised repeatedly.
"Is it time to confirm the mission?" A asked at this time.
The fat white man nodded, and at this time 8 on Yang Bo's side said: "Captain, the network has no signal."
"What are you doing?" A heard this and shouted with a change of face.
The fat white man also frowned at this time and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is definitely not done by us."
At this time, a person came trotting over, hesitant to speak, the fat white man looked at several free mercenaries and said directly: "Just say anything."
"March Star issued a planetary martial law order." A simple sentence made the faces of the people present change drastically.
Yang Bo was also shocked. This person on the ground has such a great influence?
"Captain, these bastards want to rob the thieves." J pulled the bag back, then threw it aside and took out a laser pistol.
A also took out a laser pistol, and the other few also took out bombs, but Yang Bo was empty-handed...
"Keep an eye on him." A looked at Yang Bo who was empty-handed, and was speechless. He had been a free mercenary for so long, didn't he know that he had to keep a hand in everything?
Yang Bo muttered to himself that the original owner must have kept a hand, but of course he didn't know this, so he had to put the bag aside.
"Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding." The fat white man saw this scene and said hurriedly.
"Misunderstanding, what the hell, do you really think that we brothers are on a mission for the first time? What have we not seen?" J cursed and looked around vigilantly.
"That's right, the planet is under martial law, is this something that ordinary people can do? Either you guys are doing something, after all, this is your submarine. Or our mission target this time is not simple, and you didn't make it clear when you offered the bounty mission." Captain A said with a sneer.
Free mercenaries are not fools, they will definitely not accept missions that cost their lives, and hiding information on the party that issues the mission is the most fatal.
Free mercenaries go on missions to make money, not to die, so they are most annoyed by this kind of thing. Everyone makes money for enjoyment, not for excitement and death?
"Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. There is nothing wrong with our mission target." When the fat white man heard this, he asked his people to retreat and explained.
Three of A's people faced the other employer, and the other two looked at the other party vigilantly, and the laser guns and pistols in their hands were obviously turned on.
"Give us a separate cabin, we want to ask the target." How could the leader A believe the other party?
"That's right, we don't do missions that cost us our lives. At most, we will go to jail." 8 also said.
Yang Bo was really speechless about this weird society. No wonder these criminals are so arrogant. It turns out that they all go to jail if they see something wrong...
"Okay then." The fat white man seemed to compromise.
At this moment, the fat white man flashed, and the whole person rushed out with a shadow, so fast that several people couldn't react. This person's target was the bag in Yang Bo's hand.
Several people behind the fat white man also rushed out. In this narrow environment, the opponent was extremely fast and attacked suddenly.
A, who was holding a laser pistol, was pinched by the opponent, and then punched hard. A was hit on the ceiling of the submarine.
Not only A, but also several others were hit on the ceiling, with painful expressions on their faces. As for the hands holding the bombs, they were clamped tightly by others and had no chance to do anything.
However, time seemed to be prohibited, because the leader of the opponent, the fat white man, was also hit hard, and then came into close contact with the floor of the submarine.
Boom!
The fat white man's men quickly retreated, and several mercenaries fell to the ground with painful faces. Of course, the laser pistols and bombs in their hands were gone.
"What..." The leader A wanted to curse, but unfortunately, he was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word.
Yang Bo was calm and composed at this time. Just when the fat white man wanted to attack Yang Bo, Yang Bo resisted him with brute force. The reaction force made the fat white man faint. Then Yang Bo's hand was burning, but Yang Bo's hand was not hurt at all.
Yang Bo was the only one standing at the scene, with a blazing flame in his hand, and the people around him were convulsing in pain on the ground.
It took A five minutes to recover from the pain. His face became even paler after the disguise. He looked at the still fainting fat man and kicked him hard.
"Thank you. I'll give you half of this mission." A looked at Yang Bo and said directly.
Yang Bo nodded coldly and retracted the flame in his hand. Yang Bo also knew that the free mercenaries were on a temporary mission and they didn't know each other. Moreover, the free mercenaries used disguise potions most of the time and would never show their true faces.
"Damn, this bastard, we almost died here." No. 8 also recovered, grabbed the fat man and slapped him twice.
The opponent was too strong, and they didn't react.
To put it nicely, free mercenaries are mercenaries. To put it bluntly, they are guys who value money as their life. They do everything for money and have no concept of illegal or not illegal.
So mercenaries are not very good in people's impression.
A said, "These guys are stronger than us. It seems they want to kill us to silence us."
"Captain, who introduced this mission?"
"They are from the Ashes Organization. I have checked their background."
"These bastards, let's go back to the Federation and settle accounts with them."
"If I had known it was the Ashes Organization, I would not have accepted it. The Ashes Organization in the Alliance is colluding with terrorist extremist organizations."
"Damn, these bastards." The fat white man was miserable. Those who recovered were ruthless.
"Brother, thank you very much."
"Brother, thank you very much." Then they thanked Yang Bo one after another, but there was no specific expression.
What Yang Bo didn't know was that A, who was the leader just now, said that the bounty for this mission would be divided in half. This is the industry practice.
The initiator of the free mercenary, that is, the captain, collects 10% more, mainly to be responsible for the safety of the mission. Those who don't know the details will generally not be the captain.
"Throw the laser gun over here, or I will kill him." A saw that several people on his side had recovered, and shouted directly to the fat white man's men.
"Let's talk it over. The planet is under martial law. None of us can leave." The other party did not give the laser gun, but spoke.
No. 8 cursed: "You bastards, we are here to make money, not to die. We want to know the identity of the target. You should pay double the flight fee according to the corresponding mission level. Otherwise, we will destroy the submarine immediately. At most, we will go to jail in the alliance."
"That's it." The others nodded.
Yang Bo was speechless. These mercenaries really want money. But it's right. The mission has been completed and the money should not be reduced by a penny.
"We have no way to confirm the mission." The other party heard this and hurriedly explained.
J heard this and stomped on the fat white man's head with two feet: "That's your business. Shameless, hiding the mission level and letting us die. You will definitely kill us later to silence us."
There is also a second update.
