Chapter 342: At a Loss

Seeing Shangguan Li fall silent, Duo Lan, the chief disciple of the martial arts school and deputy leader of Mo Xue, stood up and said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Junior sister, your request is a bit too much."

"There was a disaster on the border, and we are also worried. But the question is, what does this have to do with us, Mo Xue? We are mercenaries."

"Stop the beasts, that's the responsibility of the authorities, it has nothing to do with us, why are you running to us?"

Dong Dong bit his lower lip and said, "It's okay if you don't want to fight the beasts , at least go together to rescue people, okay? Mo Xue has so many air transport equipment, one trip can transfer thousands of people to a safe place, and more trips back and forth, save as many as you can! "

Dolan frowned and said in a deep voice: "You didn't understand what I said. Stopping beasts or saving people is not the duty of us mercenaries. You can't impose a duty that doesn't belong to us on us. "

Dongdong looked at Dolan absent-mindedly, not knowing why the once enthusiastic senior brother in front of him would be so cold.

She hesitated for a while and said in a trembling voice: "I understand, this job costs money. Yes, mercenaries charge for their work. I'll give you money! I'm very rich now, and I have a lot of money in my account. I'll give it all to you!"

"If it's not enough, I'll go to the financial department for an overdraft. In the next few decades until I die, I won't take any monthly coins as remuneration. I'll give you all the overdrafts. Just think of it as me issuing a commission to Mo Xue. Is that okay?"

Dolan sighed for a long time, feeling helpless: "Little Junior Sister, don't say such childish things. I can't help you."

Dongdong pointed to the air transport vehicles ready to go around and asked: "Then tell me, what are you doing?"

"Just now I saw you put all the airships outside, and I thought you were ready to go to the border. Tell me, what are you doing?"

Dolan was speechless for a moment, and looked at Shangguan Li who lowered his eyes and said nothing carefully, and didn't say anything either.

Just as Dongdong was about to continue questioning, a hovercraft with the Death Scythe logo landed in the square.

A Death Scythe mercenary walked out of it, came to Shangguan Li and asked: "Is your airship ready? Let's go as soon as possible, there are many things waiting over there."

Dongdong was stunned when he heard the Death Scythe mercenary's words, and looked at Shangguan Li in confusion: "Master, what does he mean?"

The Death Scythe mercenary looked at Dongdong and quickly recognized the rising star who had defeated Lucifer in a single duel not long ago. His tone became polite: "Oh, the second in command of the edge is here too, sorry for the disrespect."

"It's like this, the Iron Blood Union is undergoing a major transfer, and the workload of the Death Scythe has been saturated. According to Shangguan Li, "The leader instructed us to contact other mercenary groups for assistance."

"Many iron-blooded middle-level managers in Anmi New District are still moving, and there are many valuable furniture that need to be moved. We are going to ask Mo Xue's people to help."

Dong Dong was stunned, looking at Shangguan Li with strange eyes, and even his voice was trembling: "Master, there are millions of people on the border whose lives are hanging by a thread. Are you going to help those rich people move furniture?"

Shangguan Li still lowered her eyes and said nothing, slightly turning her head away. She was obviously a majestic master, but she did not dare to look directly at her apprentice's interrogative eyes.

At this moment, Dongdong suddenly felt that the master who had been with her day and night had become so distant, and the way he looked at her was like looking at a stranger: "Master, tell me this is not true."

"My master is a very chivalrous person. She would never stand by and watch someone die without helping, and run to work for those giant companies!"

Dolan couldn't listen any longer, and shouted loudly: "You're almost done! What are you talking about? Oh, you are only allowed to get close to the joint venture company on the edge, but our Mo Xue can't do something for Tiexue? It's called working as a dog?"

"Junior sister, do you know how long the master has been waiting for this opportunity? For so many years, the master has been working hard to lead Mo Xue forward, just to make everyone stand out."

"But you also know that there is a hurdle in this world, that is, giant companies. If you can't get the recognition of giant companies and can't establish relationships with those big guys, no matter how glamorous it looks on the surface, it's just a rotten fish and shrimp!"

"This is the same for Mo Xue! Don't look at Everyone said that we are the mercenaries led by the Seven Stars. If the giant companies do not take us in our eyes, even if we do n’t want to take us in our eyes, even if we do n’t want to take it in. Lan Zhong poked his heart, and said sadly: "This time to help the iron blood to transfer, it is the first time Mo Xue has been formally contacted with a giant company." "Missed this time, the next chance really does not know when it will come, or even because we refute them once, the opportunity will never come." "If you are a master, can you be willing? It's not good to leave the future good future. Do you go to do the inexplicable things?

Many people even think that Mo Xue will be the second Death Scythe in a few decades, and their leader has the potential to succeed Zhou Hannian and become the next king of mercenaries.

However, the reality is that since the Edge Mercenary Group came out of nowhere, Mo Xue has been suppressed in all aspects.

Not long after Su Mo entered the industry, he became a star that everyone pays attention to. With the support of the authorities and the tilt of various resources, he surpassed all the accumulation of Mo Xue to this day in a few months.

The saddest thing is that it’s okay to be inferior to Su Mo, but the leader of Mo Xue can’t even compare with someone else’s second in command.

Lucifer, who Shangguan Li had tried his best to tie, was directly defeated by Dong Dong, who was not yet an adult, and the second gear overloaded and exploded, shocking the whole city.

Not to mention that the Edge Mercenary Group later got together with the big man Zhao Yiming, and was reborn from the ashes in the Fool’s Meeting incident, rising like a phoenix, leaving Mo Xue farther and farther behind.

Mo Xue’s dream was shattered.

Now when talking about the New Moon City Mercenary Group, everyone only knows about the Edge and Death Scythe.

Speaking of the former Crescent Seven Stars, only one Edge is known.

Mo Xue's reputation has fallen to the same level as Ying Tian Shou. No one looks down on them. They can only keep lowering their prices and pick up those second-rate commissions that Edge and Death Scythe are too lazy to accept.

It is true that Mo Xue and Edge have a good relationship, but they are two mercenary groups anyway.

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone two mercenaries.

Dolan's words not only represent himself, Shangguan Li, but also represent the unwillingness of every Mo Xue mercenary.

After hearing what Duo Lan said, Dong Dong was completely confused. He looked at the silent Shangguan Li with unfocused eyes: "Master. You. Do you think so?"

"At this critical moment, you actually think of treating Edge as an opponent and seize every opportunity to surpass us?"

Dolan's voice became louder, and he said confidently: "Is there anything wrong with this? It's true that our two families have a good relationship, but we are also in the same industry and competitors. Why, only you can develop, and we can only follow behind and eat leftovers?"

Dong Dong shook his hands vigorously, and his emotions collapsed: "I didn't say it was wrong! It's okay to surpass Edge! We never regarded Mo Xue as a hidden danger, head I like your Moxue very much!"

"Believe it or not, with our boss's mind and temperament, if Moxue can catch up with us one day and become strong enough to threaten the position of Edge, or even surpass Edge directly, he will be so happy that he will personally hold a celebration banquet for you!"

"We Edge have never said that we want to be the only one, nor have we said that Moxue cannot rely on giant companies, but... everything has its priorities, and people should have some principles, right?"

"What time is it now? At the moment of life and death of millions of people, tell me, this is what you think?"

Dolan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and was a little speechless.

Dongdong looked at Shangguan Li with a sad look, his lips trembling slightly: "Master, do you still remember that when we were practicing martial arts before, you told me many martial arts stories."

"You told me that a hero is a chivalrous man with a righteous heart and a loyal heart. The word "hero" has "benevolence" on the left and "righteousness" on the right."

"You taught me this! Do you think I am uneducated, uneducated, illiterate, and cannot listen to what you say? I have taken all the things you taught me seriously in my heart!"

"Are all the things you taught me false? Don't you believe them from the bottom of your heart, and think that the so-called hero is just a hypocritical joke? Then why did you teach it to me?"

Shangguan Li lowered her head even lower, and faced with the questioning of her apprentice, she couldn't say a word.

"Don't be silent! I want you to say it yourself! Say it!" Dongdong rushed forward and wanted to push Shangguan Li, but was stopped by Duolan and others.

At this time, the Death Scythe mercenary had lost his patience and said coldly: "Shangguan Li, give me a definite answer, are you coming? If you don't want to come, tell me now, I will go find other mercenary groups."

"In addition, I want to remind you that the man next to you is right. If you offend Tiexue for such a small matter, they will probably not come to you again in the future. You can do it yourself."

On one side was the questioning of the junior sister, and on the other side was the pressing of the Death Scythe mercenary. Dolan and others were upset and didn't know what to say. They could only look at Shangguan Li carefully and wait for the decision of the leader.

Dongdong wiped away her tears vigorously, stood in front of Shangguan Li and choked up, "Master, how about this, I kowtow to you. You always said that I didn't know etiquette and couldn't even bow when meeting. So I kowtow to you today."

After Dongdong finished speaking, he knelt down in front of everyone and kowtowed to Shangguan Li continuously.

She kowtowed very hard, and each time it made a dull sound, and even left a blood mark on the ground.

"Junior sister, you..." Duolan and the others were completely at a loss.

Shangguan Li stared blankly at Dongdong who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes constantly losing focus.

His favorite and proudest disciple kowtowed in despair, bleeding every time.

The Death Scythe mercenary, who represented the iron will, had a cold look in his eyes, pressing Mo Xue's future towards her.

The huge pressure made Shangguan Li's breathing tremble, and the whole person seemed to have lost his spine. His always straight back became hunched, confused and helpless.

Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, an unexpected person appeared.

The hovercraft with the red umbrella logo landed in the square, and KK ran out of it.

He saw Dongdong kowtowed continuously, and was stunned for a moment, and went over to help her up: "Dongdong, what are you doing?"

"KK?" Dongdong looked at KK dully, not knowing why he appeared here.

KK helped Dongdong wipe off the dust and blood on his head with a sad heart, then walked to Shangguan Li and handed him a black storage box.

"Captain Shangguan, this is what my brother left for you."

Shangguan Li subconsciously took the storage box and asked in confusion: "Left for me?"

KK nodded: "Yes, he told me before that if he lost contact for more than 24 hours, or died, he would give this thing to you."

It was hard not to think of relics, and Shangguan Li's face turned pale: "He"

KK interrupted her and comforted her: "He is still alive, but he has been out of contact for more than 24 hours, so I came."

Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly: "What's inside?"

KK shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't opened it, he asked you to open it yourself."

Shangguan Li pursed his lips, looked at the Death Scythe mercenary, and asked cautiously: "Can you give me some time?"

The Death Scythe mercenary glanced at his watch and said coldly: "Give you 10 minutes."

"Thank you." Shangguan Li took the storage box and entered the Moxue Building.

Although KK didn't say it explicitly, Shangguan Li thought that since it was something that was personally opened by someone, it should be somewhat concealed, so she chose a secret room and closed the door before opening the storage box.

There were only two things inside.

A red umbrella badge with a special leader logo. Judging from the slightly old traces, it was the one that Su Mo usually carried with him.

The other thing was a mobile chip, which obviously stored some files.

Shangguan Li inserted the chip into the computer and found that there was only one video.

She clicked it.

This was a holographic image. In the interweaving of light and shadow, Su Mo's figure appeared. The extremely realistic resolution restored almost every detail, as if he was standing there in person.

The position of the video playback was just right. Su Mo stood face to face with Shangguan Li, waved and smiled: "Shangguan, it's been a long time since we last met. Before watching this video, please find a quiet place. I want to talk to you alone."

Shangguan Li nodded slightly. It was right to come to the secret room by himself.

Su Mo paused and continued, "When KK handed you the storage box, I think you must be confused. Now I am ready to tell you everything that happened recently."

"At this moment, at the moment you are watching the video, I am carrying out a top-secret project 100,000 meters underground in Xinyue City."

"What is this project? In order to save time, I will not go into details now. I will tell you later."

"You only need to know one thing, the recent beast crisis in Xinyue City is related to something underground, and I am trying to shut it down." (End of this chapter)
