Chapter 272 Crow’s Nest Shows Goodwill
The appearance of Hong Chenle, the new leader of Crow's Nest, completely surprised everyone.
Shangguan Li scolded him coldly: "Hey, I didn't mean to ask the Dead Gray Gang to invite me to dinner. What's the point of calling people from the Crow's Nest?"
Hong Chenle walked in and smiled heartily: "I'm sorry, I heard that Mr. Abraham was going to invite the Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon to dinner. I have admired all of you for a long time, but never had the chance to meet him, so I shamelessly followed him."
Chiyo Kanna said lazily: "Boss Hong, you are also one of the leading figures in the border areas. Why, you joined forces with the Dead Ash Gang to set a trap for me. Do you dare to do it or not admit it?"
Hong Chenle laughed loudly and clasped his fists seriously: "I'll tell you all, I asked Mr. Abraham to organize today's game."
"The main reason is that the Crow's Nest had not been happy with the mercenary community before. If I send the letter directly, I am afraid that you will not come, so I will have to find someone to help send it on my behalf."
Lucifer sneered: "Why don't we come? The key is this kid."
He chinned at Su Moang: "Your crow's nest and that little thing on the edge caused a lot of trouble in the city. I'll bet five dollars that someone named Su will kill you in a while."
"Captain Lucifer is joking. How could Commander Su be such a rude person?" Hong Chenle took the initiative to walk towards Su Mo and nodded politely in greeting.
Then he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "This is the first time we meet, Captain Su. I haven't had the chance to visit you before, but I have always admired you."
Su Mo looked at the extended hand and did not take it. He just smiled lightly and said, "Boss Hong, are you being too hypocritical?"
"When I was not famous, you Crow's Nest tricked me into going to Longmen Restaurant and asked me to make a video of myself destroying my future. Fortunately, I ran away smartly."
"Later on, during the Xinghai Cinema hostage incident, I killed Muto Toei, and you sent Simon into the city to assassinate me and kill me."
"I think the person you hate the most from top to bottom in your crow's nest is me. You want to come and shake my hand now? Don't you think it's fake?"
The smile on Hong Chenle's face did not diminish by half, and he said slowly: "Captain Su, what you said is all in the past. Each generation has its own practices."
"It's true that the previous crow's nest hated you, but that was the crow's nest managed by Hong Quansheng."
"Hong Quan Sheng is dead now, and the crow's nest is under my control. I am different. I am a person who firmly believes that peace is the most important thing."
Lucifer said with a sinister smile: "That's nice to say, but maybe there are a bunch of people hiding outside the door, just waiting for Su to relax his vigilance, so that he can be chopped into pieces."
Hong Chenle's expression did not change at all, as if he was wearing a smiling mask.
Suddenly, he made an amazing move.
He reached his hand to his waist and grasped the sheathed long knife.
The atmosphere became subtle at this moment.
The Park brothers, Hyun Hye, and Chiyo Kanna stayed away and watched the show silently.
Lucifer crossed his legs with interest, whistled and continued to fire.
Shangguan Li activated the mechanical prosthetic eye to lock on Hong Chenle, to guard against him suddenly attacking Su Mo.
"Uh-huh."
Hong Chenle slowly drew out his long knife, and instead of slashing at Su Mo, he held it level: "Captain Su, I am here to make peace with you sincerely."
"There are only people from the Dead Gray Gang inside and outside the building. I didn't even bring a bodyguard with me. I went to the banquet alone to see you."
He held the long knife in both hands, placed it on the table in front of Su Mo, and said with a smile: "Besides me, if you see the second person from the Crow's Nest nearby tonight, you can use this knife. Cut off my head with a knife."
After he finished speaking, the smile on his face was so strong that he stretched out his hand to Su Mo again: "You and I make peace, what do you think?"
At this moment, the atmosphere became more subtle.
Lucifer looked at Su Mo and said sarcastically: "Hey, do you believe this nonsense? Have you forgotten what Crow's Nest did to you before? If he's a man, just stab him."
Shangguan Li glared at Lucifer and told him to shut up. He then put his arm around Su Mo's shoulders and lowered his voice and said, "Just trust him. It doesn't matter."
Su Mo and Hong Chenle looked at each other.
After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and held Hong Chenle's hand.
Hong Chenle immediately let out a hearty laugh, and put his other hand up to shake it: "Let me tell you, Captain Su must be a generous person."
Abraham also touched his beard and said with a pleasant smile: "Okay, okay, the past is in the past. The New Year is coming soon, so we should be so peaceful."
Lucifer didn't see the good show, felt it was very boring, and groaned.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly stretched out his hand to Lucifer and said, "Give me money."
Lucifer asked inexplicably: "What money should I give you?"
Su Mo: "You just said it yourself, I bet you five coins and I will kill Boss Hong. Now that you have lost, you don't admit it?"
The muscles on Lucifer's face twitched: "Do you really want it?"
Su Mo opened the payment code on his mobile phone and raised his eyebrows at him.
Lucifer was speechless and could only scan the QR code and transfer the May coin to Su Mo.
Just after collecting the money, Su Mo felt his phone vibrate and a prompt popped up on the screen.
It was from Qiling.
Su Mo clicked on the message and took a look. His pupils dilated slightly, but quickly returned to their original appearance. No one noticed the brief strangeness.
After greetings, Abraham and Hong Chenle took their seats.
This time it was nominally a treat for the Dead Ash Gang. Abraham naturally sat at the main seat and clapped his hands to the door and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Let's serve the food first."
Plate after plate of delicacies were served, and all kinds of precious ingredients seemed out of place in a run-down place like the border.
It is hard to imagine that in a place where ordinary people have to catch mice to satisfy their hunger, so many delicacies can be seen.
But in reality, for those in power at the top of the food chain, no matter where they are, this is just commonplace.
Although Hong Chenle was sitting in the second seat, he was the main spokesperson at the dinner table. He raised his wine glass and saluted everyone: "At this dinner, Crow's Nest not only wants to make peace with Captain Su, but also wants to make peace with you all at the same time."
"During Father Dog's reign, especially this year, he has been domineering and arbitrary, which is really unreasonable."
"Just a few months ago, everyone knows that Father Dog actually sent a large number of Crow's Nest elites to kidnap the mercenaries in the inner city and asked them to withdraw from the border from now on. I believe you are also deeply disturbed by this."
Everyone has an impression of this.
Although the Supernova leaders present here are quite capable, unlike the "newbie" Su Mo who was called and threatened by Crow's Nest at that time, they were still harassed to some extent and their business was affected.
Hong Chenle said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't understand. Aren't both the border and the inner city part of Crescent City? How can Crescent City mercenaries only operate in the inner city? Why are you not allowed to come to the border?"
Chiyo Kanna held her cheeks and said with great interest: "According to Mr. Hong's wishes, if we send people to the border in the future, won't it be regarded as a hostile act?"
Hong Chenle immediately replied: "Of course not, this kind of situation should not happen in the first place."
"As the saying goes, cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents. I can't even imagine how much Crow's Nest offended the mercenary community at that time."
"If Director Schenkov hadn't brought justice from heaven, Father Dog would have brought the Crow's Nest to a dead end."
Displeasure flashed in Shangguan Li's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Although Hong Quansheng is an enemy to us, he is still your adoptive father no matter what. He picked you up from the street, dragged you and raised you. He is dead now, so you say so Did he say bad things?"
Hong Chenle smiled thoughtfully and said: "The great cause of Crow's Nest is public, and the relationship between father and son is private. Public and private matters cannot be discussed together."
"You should feel the same way about this, Commander Shangguan."
Shangguan Xue clenched her fists on her legs unconsciously, and stared at Hong Chenle with an increasingly cold gaze.
Park Xiangyu wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said calmly: "That sounds nice. Who knows if you will be plotting against us behind our back?"
Park Seung-woo: "Brother is right!"
Hong Chenle smiled helplessly and said: "Two Geminis, you are worrying too much. I have stated my position many times, and this time I represent the Crow's Nest to make peace with you with sincerity."
Lucifer: "Everyone can say empty words. Transfer me 5,000 to see if you are sincere?"
Hong Chenle seemed to have caught the opportunity, with a mysterious smile on his face: "How can 5,000 be enough? Adding 'ten thousand' is enough."
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands toward the door.
Six tall beauties in cheongsam filed in, each pushing a small cart with exquisite boxes, some high and some low.
Except for Chiyo Kanna, six beauties in cheongsam came to the six captains, knelt on the ground like serving kings, opened the box respectfully, and presented the contents to everyone.
For a moment, everyone was a little dazed.
In the boxes of Shangguan Li, Park Xiangyu, and Park Chengyou, there is a whole box of high-end prosthetic modification components, any one of which is worth a lot of money.
In the boxes of Su Mo, Lucifer, and Xuan Hui, there were neatly arranged blood-activating factors, making the boxes full.
Hong Chenle seemed to be very satisfied with their inadvertent expression of indifference, and said slowly: "Based on your ability, I have prepared corresponding sincerity."
"Those prosthetic modification components are all universal upgrade components, perfectly customized according to your parameters, which are enough to enhance your whole-body prosthesis to "military level 1." "
"The gift for the blood code bearer is the blood-activating factor, 500 in total. I can't guarantee what level it can help you reach, but according to your potential, it should be no problem to reach the "critical high level". "
Chiyo Kanna crossed her arms and said calmly: "They all have it, but I don't have it. Is this the intention of Crow's Nest to declare a challenge to our Sakura Tenshou mercenary group?"
Hong Chenle laughed loudly, put his hands together and waved to Chiyo Kanna to express his apology: "Captain Chiyo, you misunderstood, it's just that it's more difficult to carry the gift for you. Everyone is eating, I can't let anyone push me away. Is a ferocious beast coming in?"
"Please be patient. I have obtained a top-grade ferocious beast from the Black Domain Group, named Yinghu, with "Noble Level Crazy Level" qualifications. I will have someone deliver it to your headquarters tomorrow. "
The displeasure in Chiyo Kanna's eyes disappeared and became playful.
Hong Chenle looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "I wonder if you are satisfied with my sincerity?"
The answer is unquestionable.
This sincerity exceeded everyone's expectations.
Each person's gift costs at least hundreds of millions of monthly coins according to the market price.
Although the New Moon Seven Stars have a large family fortune, it is really not that easy for anyone to spend hundreds of millions to strengthen themselves. Only the second generation of a giant like Lucifer can do it.
The silence in the box made the smile in Hong Chenle's eyes grow stronger: "Please accept my sincerity, everyone, let us get back together."
With such a gift in front of you, the temptation is too great.
However, at this moment, a small accident happened.
Su Mo's voice suddenly sounded: "There's no need for gifts."
He closed the box containing 500 blood-activating factors and said calmly: "It can be restored to a good state. I also hope that everyone can be more peaceful and make money in a harmonious manner."
"But this is a gift, haha. It's not worth the reward, so I won't accept it."
This rejection was unexpected by Hong Chenle. He thought Su Mo was being polite, so he said in a gentle tone: "Captain Su, what does it mean to not be rewarded for no merit? Politeness is just to express my feelings, nothing else." the meaning of."
Su Mo: "If you gave me a symbolic red envelope of three to five hundred, I would definitely take it shamelessly, but if you directly give away hundreds of millions of things, this is not something that can be justified."
Hong Chenle patiently explained: "It's really just my intention. If Commander Su feels strange, you can consider it as compensation from Crow's Nest."
"In the past few months, Father Quan blocked the border and banned mercenaries from entering and exiting, which caused a lot of losses to you. These gifts will be used as a crow's nest to compensate you."
Su Mo said calmly: "Mercenary is an industry that is pragmatic rather than unrealistic. Strength speaks for itself in everything."
"We were fooled by Hong Quan Sheng. Who is to blame? Do you blame Crow's Nest? No, we should blame ourselves."
"It is our lack of strength that has led to the losses in the past few months. Crow's Nest does not need to rush to blame itself for this debt, otherwise it will be difficult for us to repay this favor in the future."
Hong Chenle really couldn't understand what Su Mo wanted to do. There was a reason to not want the good things that were given to him for free?
He could only say patiently: "Commander Su is out of touch when he says this. These are really free gifts. I don't ask for anything in return."
Su Mo: "I told you, I accept your wishes. As for food, you have a short mouth and a soft hand when you take advantage of others."
"Brothers have settled accounts openly. It would be better for us to settle matters involving money between our two forces clearly."
Lucifer couldn't sit still anymore and slapped the table and angrily shouted: "Su! You've finished all your good words, right? You've made it impossible for us to accept it!"
Su Mo shrugged: "You accept what you have, why do you care about me? I'm not your leader. If you like to accept, I won't accept if you don't."
Leaders, you look at me and I look at you. Su Mo was hesitant for a moment.
Chiyo Kanna played with a strand of hair around her fingertips, looked at Lucifer playfully, and said jokingly: "Head of the Seven Stars, let me make a statement for everyone~"
Everyone turned their attention to Lucifer.
Lucifer was arched out and frowned for a moment.
But he was not polite. After hesitating for a moment, he took the box and put it firmly at his feet. He glanced at Su Mo and said, "Don't give up on me for free. You've all come out to be mercenaries. What are you pretending to be?" Aloof?"
With Lucifer taking the lead, the others also moved and brought the boxes over.
Just when Shangguan Li was about to take the box, Su Mo reached out his hand from under the table and held her wrist calmly.
He looked at Shangguan Li deeply and shook his head slightly.
Shangguanli looked into Su Mo's eyes and didn't understand his intention.
Mo Xue has a relationship with Bian Bian.
But to say how profound it is, it doesn’t exist at the moment.
Shangguanli didn't know why Su Mo blocked him, and he didn't trust him unconditionally.
What's more, she also has her own considerations.
In the end, Shangguan Li quietly broke away from Su Mo's hand, took the box full of prosthetic modification components, and put it at his feet.
Hong Chenle said happily: "Thank you all for supporting me. Of course, I have no intention of complaining to Commander Su. If I really don't want to accept it, then I won't force it. Just like Commander Su said, just come to your heart."
Su Mo looked at Shangguan Li's profile and sighed secretly.
He recalled the text message Qi Ling sent just now in his mind.
There is only one line:
[Wolf Raid is monitoring you]
