Chapter 209 Seven Stars of the New Moon

After Ou Chenyu died, the biggest stone in Su Mo's heart fell to the ground. There was no longer a lingering threat chasing behind him, and he could finally roam freely throughout the Dawn World according to his own wishes.

After returning from Meteor Canyon, Su Mo had the most peaceful sleep since time travel, and immediately started setting up a party after waking up.

The entire 80th floor of the Edge Building was decorated as a carnival scene. The room was full of delicious food. Everyone drank together and played video games and board games in groups in various rooms. They were so happy that they were so happy. Release all the fatigue accumulated during this period.

After the carnival, everyone returned to the usual rhythm of life.

At 12 noon, KK got up after sleeping in. After washing, he took some snacks and drinks and went straight to the e-sports room to play games.

The game he played is called "Gods: Origin". It is a game that was officially launched recently. It is produced by Waku Waku Studio and the producer is named Lu Ren.

"Gods: Origin" ignited the enthusiasm of the entire gaming circle during the closed beta. The improved content in the open beta was even better than during the closed beta. It was no surprise that it won the "Best Game of the Year" award. It is said that everyone in the entire studio was So wealth is free.

KK has been exploring the "Dokuland Continent" in the game these days, playing in a hazy state and staying up all night every day.

By 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he had played to his heart's content and was ready to go to the financial office to work.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Su Mo.

Su Mo glanced at the TV screen that had not been turned off and asked, "You got up at noon and played games until now?"

KK: "Yeah."

Su Mo's face became serious: "What are you going to do?"

KK: "Go to work."

Su Mo's tone became quite unhappy: "Do you know what time it is?"

KK: "4 p.m."

Su Mo: "What did I tell you before?"

KK: "Uh"

Su Mo glared and said seriously: "Let me reiterate, you must abide by the 8-hour entertainment rule in the margins. In addition to eating and sleeping, you must spend 8 hours for fun every day, otherwise you are not allowed to work!"

"You get up at 12 noon and want to work after only playing for 4 hours? You have forgotten what I said, right?"

KK touched the back of his head and said with an awkward smile: "Then I'll go to the sauna again?"

Su Mo smiled and pushed him towards the sauna: "Go quickly and watch a movie after you steam. You are always thinking about working when you are young, and you will be useless if you do this."

As the "number one hero" in getting rid of Ou Chenyu, KK was immediately vindicated after returning.

Su Mo announced all the previous plans to the mercenaries in the group, and everyone suddenly realized, my dear, this is the Yueska Golden Award winner who also deceived his own people.

In addition to restoring his reputation, KK also received unique special treatment.

To sum it up in one sentence - play, play hard, do a shitty job, and your big brother will support you for the rest of your life.

This kind of treatment is unique at the edge.

KK is also the only person on the edge who doesn't have to work and can lie down completely.

What? Are you dissatisfied?

If you are not convinced, help the leader get rid of an enemy of Ou Chenyu's level, and the leader will definitely give you the same treatment.

Su Mo drove KK into the sauna, moved a basket of fruit to the office downstairs, and then turned on the computer to watch the news replay.

"Let's pay attention to the latest hot news. The Crescent Commercial Bank gold robbery that shocked the whole city was officially solved yesterday."

"According to a spokesman for the Public Security Bureau, the security forces discovered stolen gold in the Tehu Industrial Park. A small part of it was secretly sold to the border areas, and the rest has been fully recovered, thus protecting the safety of citizens' assets to the greatest extent."

"Ou Chenyu, the founder of Tooth Tiger Industry, was identified as the main culprit of the robbery. According to the spokesperson, Ou Chenyu resisted fiercely during the arrest and was shot dead on the spot by the security forces. All the other accomplices have been arrested."

"The case of improper medical transactions between Lucio, the former city council member and founder of the Ribeton Foundation, and Sonzo was pronounced early this morning by the Crescent City Court."

"Lucio's subjective malignancy is extremely deep, his social influence is bad, and his crime is extremely serious. The court sentenced him to life imprisonment without the possibility of commutation or parole, and confiscated all property in his personal name."

"Lucio's only daughter and head of the Libeitong Foundation, Taleg, was suspected of covering up, taking advantage of his position to misappropriate charity funds, and manipulating insider trading in the investment market. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison without the possibility of commutation or parole, and his illegal gains were confiscated. 1204 million and a triple fine."

Looking at the news about Lucio and Taleg on the news, Su Mo had only one thought in his mind: yes.

He never considered himself a good person, and there was a lot of dirty money in the accounts of the fringe mercenary group.

Everyone is dirty, no one should dislike anyone.

But dirty things must be dirty, and the food should not be too ugly.

Lying on charity funds to be a worm, harvesting the public's goodwill, and even harming vulnerable groups in turn, this is already so dirty that there is no limit.

The two fathers and daughters should be lucky that the laws of the world government are relatively tolerant towards economic crimes, and the maximum limit is life imprisonment, otherwise Lucio, an old guy, will be shot.

Su Mo ignored them, turned off the news, and opened the latest personnel roster of the Marginal Mercenary Group.

After Ou Chenyu's death, the entire Tehu mercenary group was raided by the Public Security Bureau and completely destroyed.

Among the Tooth Tiger mercenaries, Su Mo couldn't save any of the core members who were deeply entangled with Ou Chenyu.

Based on the things they had done in the past, the Public Security Bureau randomly found out a few of them, and they were either executed or imprisoned.

As for those mercenaries who had no special relationship with Ou Chenyu and were just working at Tooth Tiger, Su Mo greeted Schenkov and hoped that the Public Security Bureau would not investigate further.

Of course Schenkov was very considerate of this small favor and let people go one after another.

Su Mo saved these Tooth Tiger mercenaries not out of kindness, but out of consideration for the development of the fringe mercenary group.

These mercenaries originally came out to earn a living and beat workers.

They can be effective for Tooth Tiger, and naturally they can also be effective for Edge.

After the destruction of Tooth Tiger, these mercenaries have lost their jobs and are in jail. If you give them a hand at this time, they will definitely shed tears of gratitude.

When the time comes, let alone die-hard loyalty, having such a kind person is at least much more reliable than recruiting someone from scratch.

What's more, the fringe mercenary group is in a period of rapid expansion and is in great need of fresh blood.

Why not do this kind of thing that benefits others and yourself?

After Su Mo's careful selection, the number of mercenaries accepted from Tooth Tiger in recent days, plus those who passed the screening through other channels, totaled more than 300 people.

Coupled with the original batch of mercenaries in the regiment, the number of the entire fringe mercenary regiment expanded to 612, of which 514 were combat mercenaries.

This scale means that the edge has officially changed from a small mercenary group to a medium-sized mercenary group.

What's more, this expansion was completed within a year.

In the Crescent City mercenary world, those who accomplish this kind of thing will receive a special "achievement".

"Ding dong." The computer prompted that there was a new email in the mailbox.

Su Mo opened the email with a smile on his face.

This email was sent by Zhou Hannian.

The content is: [Captain Su, you have been officially recognized as a supernova in the mercenary world of Crescent City, among the "Seven Stars of the Crescent City", and the title given to you by the industry is "Star of Death"]

[Congratulations on winning this honor. I hope you live up to expectations and lead the fringe mercenary group to move forward]

Supernova, this is a special name in the mercenary world of Crescent City.

Any self-made mercenary leader who can lead his team to expand to more than 500 combat mercenaries within a year will be considered a "supernova".

The Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon represent the seven supernova captains in the Crescent City mercenary community who have accomplished this achievement in recent years.

Ou Chenyu, the leader of the Teeth Tigers, was originally one of the Seven Stars of the New Moon, and was known as the "Tian Yuan Star" in the industry.

After Ou Chenyu died, Su Mo took his place, so the number of supernovae did not change, still seven.

And because Su Mo was the only mercenary leader in the Supernova who wielded the original Seven Stars, he was nicknamed the "Death Star".

In the mercenary world of Crescent City, the Seven-Star Force cannot be called the strongest. After all, there are many large mercenary groups in the city, such as Death Scythe, a behemoth with more than 27,000 combatants.

There is a big gap between the Seven Star Force and the established mercenary groups, but it is definitely recognized as the most promising rising star. It is also the focus of the industry, and it is also the target of countless employers and middlemen trying to establish connections.

For Su Mo to lead the fringe mercenary group to win this honor means that his development in the mercenary world has reached a new level. There will be more opportunities and correspondingly greater challenges.

Su Mo replied to the email, spoke politely to Zhou Hannian, and then took the fruit basket to the floating garage.

He drove the Black Ark to a public nursing home in Anmi New District.

"Hello." The nurse at the front desk stood up and greeted.

Su Mo: "Hello, my name is Su Mo. I made an appointment on the phone to visit the patient."

"Uh-huh, please come this way." The nurse took the lead towards the treatment area.

The nurse came to the most advanced lake view ward on the top floor, knocked on the door, walked in, and said softly: "Captain Ivan, someone is here to visit you."

Su Mo poked his head out of the door: "Brother, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

Ivan was lying on a mechanical medical bed specially designed for prosthetic implant recipients. His whole body was connected to various mechanical wiring, and the vital signs instrument was beating steadily beside the bed.

He had just undergone surgery by a prosthetist and all damaged components had been replaced. However, many surgical wounds still needed further repair and he was unable to get out of bed.

A beautiful woman was feeding Ivan porridge, and next to her stood a boy about the same age as KK.

Ivan shook his head slightly to show that he was full. Then he looked at Su Mo and said in a hoarse voice: "You are here. I told you not to bring me anything. Why did you bring it anyway?"

Su Mo put the fruit basket on the table and smiled deliberately: "It's not for you, don't be sentimental, it's for my sister-in-law and my son-in-law."

"Captain Su, please drink some water." The woman handed Su Mo a glass of water, took the boy next to her and said, "John, please call me brother."

John greeted obediently: "Hello, brother."

Su Mo smiled and said, "Hello, this young man is so energetic. He will definitely be as good as his father when he grows up."

John rubbed the back of his head shyly.

Ivan said lovingly: "I hope John can be an ordinary person and not be like me, making his family worried all day long."

The woman looked at Ivan, who was covered in surgical wounds, and secretly wiped away tears.

Ivan felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing and said proactively: "My dear, please take John for a walk by the lake. I will stay with Captain Su for a while."

"Okay." The woman took John to say goodbye to Sumer and left the room.

After his wife and children left, Ivan looked at Su Mo thoughtfully: "I heard from my brothers that you have annexed the power of Tooth Tiger and officially joined the Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon. I would like to congratulate you in advance."

Su Mo sat down on the chair and said with emotion: "I can't do without your help. The person who fought the hardest with Ou Chenyu this time is you. Brother, I owe you a big favor."

Ivan gave a short smile: "Don't take yourself too seriously. When I deal with Ou Chenyu, I am not helping you, but executing orders to fight criminals and safeguard justice in Crescent City. This is my responsibility, and it is not a matter of debt or debt. "

Su Mo nodded without being too pretentious: "Anyway, if there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Ivan pondered for a moment and said: "Captain Su, from a personal point of view, I am very happy to make you a friend. We usually have no problem drinking together."

"But for business matters, let's keep our distance."

"You are a mercenary and I am a law enforcer. You are the dark side of this city and I am the bright side of this city. We should not have too many interactions."

"This time Ou Chenyu touched the red line and was eliminated by us in accordance with the law. If you touch the red line in the future, I will not hesitate to eliminate you."

"Public is public and private is private. We must always distinguish this when we get along. I speak straightforwardly, and sometimes I speak harshly. I'm sorry."

Su Mo smiled slightly after hearing this.

Ivan is such a person, a very pure person.

In the filthy muddy waters of the Dawn World, this anti-riot captain can be said to be a breath of fresh air.

During his 27-year anti-violence career, he personally participated in nearly a thousand bloody battles and participated in the front line. He received the special merit and first-class merit awarded to the dead 15 times. He has never received a single monthly coin other than salary during his service.

An upright law enforcer, this simple label can sum up everything about Ivan.

Su Mo has always respected such pure people.

But apart from reverence, you will also feel sad.

Because the more pure a person is, the more difficult it is for him to make it to the end in the world of dawn.

They had no idea how huge the darkness they were facing.

Su Mo looked into Ivan's eyes and said deeply, "I remember everything you said. I also want to say something to you."

"You have been in Crescent City longer than me, but I'm sure you don't know as much about this city as I do."

"No matter where you are, many things are not black and white, and right and wrong are often not clear-cut."

"This city is not just a bright side and a dark side, there are also many unimaginable things intertwined with light and shadow."

"It's good to have iron-clad principles, but if everything has to be divided into right and wrong, there will be no flexibility and no compromise. It's not a good thing."

Su Mo shook Ivan's arm, stood up and said goodbye, leaving a meaningful message: "Captain Ivan, only if you listen to my words can you go further."
