As for Sang Fan and the rest, they sat calmly with their eyes closed. Old Chief Guo admired these mysterious mech pilots from the bottom of his heart. At least in terms of patience, they had the demeanor of an unparalleled master. Sang Fan had seen his face before, and through his careful observation, he could tell that this young man had a close relationship with their leader. The experienced Old Chief Guo did not dare to slight him.
The door of the notary office was pushed open. Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, only to see that everyone was in high spirits. These mech pilots loitering in the notary office were not on the same level as the Sang Tribe, but in terms of foresight, they were completely different. The three of them were obviously rich. Their attire and mannerisms were alluring.
There's business! Instantly, the lazy mech pilots immediately perked up and swarmed forward, showering him with flattery and flattery. Only Old Chief Guo and Sang Fan did not move. Old Chief Guo only glanced at them before looking away. As for Sang Fan and the rest, they did not even open their eyes.
Among the three, there was a beautiful lady with a gentle demeanor. She had the most people gathered around her.
They were Mi Qi, Mi Su, and Uncle Yun. While they were furious at the Papatte Mech Squad's actions, they did not have a better choice. Out of reason, they came to take a look.
Mi Qi frowned in disgust. Mi Su's expression was normal, a faint smile on her lips. Uncle Yun took a step forward expressionlessly. With a wave of his hands, the gathered crowd felt a surge of energy, and they all took a few steps back.
Old Chief Guo could not help but gasp in surprise at the sight. He was a knowledgeable man, the middle-aged man's move was rather brilliant. While he did not know how the man did it, it was undoubtedly a brilliant technique to exert his strength.
Sang Fan and the rest opened their eyes, and looked at the middle-aged man, but quickly closed them again. In their eyes, although this technique was brilliant, it did not have much practical value.
While these people were not skilled, they were all sly foxes. Seeing Uncle Yun in front of the young masters and mistresses, they knew that their hopes of killing a fat sheep were dashed, and so they tactfully dispersed.
Mi Qi looked around the hall, and walked towards Old Chief Guo. Old Chief Guo's group was too conspicuous. They were the only ones who didn't move, and the three silver masked men were hard to miss in such a small place.
Uncle Yun's eyes fell on Sang Fan and the others. His eyes suddenly lit up. In a flash, he appeared beside Mi Qi and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, be careful. Those three masked men are experts!"
Mi Qi's footsteps paused, and his expression was a little stunned. He knew Uncle Yun's skills very well. Since he was a child, the number of people who could be called a master by Uncle Yun could be counted. How could he not be surprised when Uncle Yun called these three masked men masters? However, he quickly regained his composure. What they needed the most right now were masters. A mech squad that could recruit three Grandmasters of Combat was definitely not weak.
Compared to a mech pilot, a Grandmaster of Combat was actually quite limited. Therefore, among mech squads, Grandmasters of Combat were never the most sought after resource. They would only be recruited when the mech squads were more well-off.
Old Chief Guo stood up. Sang Fan and the rest opened their eyes at the same time and took a seemingly unintentional step forward, forming an inverted triangle around Old Chief Guo to protect him. Ye Chong's order was to protect Guo Ren.
"May I know if you're the Papatte Mech Squad?" Mi Qi asked loudly. The characteristics of this group of people were too obvious. The silver masks on their faces were exactly the same as what Sister Qing had described.
Old Chief Guo chuckled. "Yes, we are. May I know who you are?"
Mi Qi smiled, his elegant demeanor as a young master of an aristocratic family. "We're the ones who contacted you this morning."
"I see." Old Chief Guo was taken aback, but quickly recovered and bowed. "Haha, so you're our esteemed guests. Apologies for my rudeness."
Mi Qi had already made up his mind to entrust this task to the Papatte Mech Squad. Judging from their performance, he was certain that this squad was not just a half-star mech squad.
Sang Fan and the others stood solemnly, their eyes indifferent.
20 Collision mechs escorted the three full-skeleton transport ships into the docking bay. 30 Sang Family members jumped down from the ships. These were the people Ye Chong had sent to Archipelago. They brought with them a large amount of mildstone, a necessity for the Collision mechs. Mildstone contained high energy content, and could be used for a long time. However, it was a one-time use item, unlike energy cells, which could be used repeatedly. While the mildstone supply for the mechs had not been depleted yet, it was better to be safe than sorry.
The leader of the villagers reported to Ye Chong, "The village head asked me to tell you not to worry about the village. The steelbats have not returned yet. Everything is fine in the village. The transport ships have been completed, and we've brought them all here. We've brought 30,000 mildstone pieces, a thousand Collision mech parts, and some lavagold nuggets. "
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. Go and rest."
"Yes, sir!" The 30 men bowed respectfully and left.
The 30,000 mildstone pieces were quickly distributed to the Sang Family members. The Collision mech parts and lavagold nuggets were stored in the underground warehouse. Ye Chong could not help but smile at the sight of so many lavagold nuggets. These were all money!
Just then, his comms device rang. It was Old Chief Guo on the holographic screen.
Ye Chong accepted the mission to escort the three of them safely to Planet Lingyuan. The sky-high price offered by the other party made Ye Chong, who was in dire need of money, accept the commission without any hesitation.
10 million credits! That was equivalent to a thousand Collision mechs' basic configuration! Ye Chong even considered capturing the three of them, to see if he could force them to cough up more money. Of course, the thought was fleeting in his mind. He had not lost his ability to make sense of things. If the other party was willing to offer such a price, they must be a powerful force. Ye Chong would not want to make enemies with such a powerful force now, unless he wanted to return to Archipelago immediately.
A thousand mechs were escorting a small starship. Mi Qi and the other two were on this starship. Of course, as Papatte's boss, Old Chief Guo had to accompany them. Ye Chong was also on the starship. The thousand Collision mechs outside were under Sang Tie's command. Sang Pu was left at the base, in case of any accidents.
Other than the 20 crew members in charge of the starship, the rest were members of the Papatte Mech Squad. Except for Old Chief Guo, they were all silver-masked men.
Mi Qi and the other two were now convinced that they had made the right decision. This Papatte Mech Squad was not to be underestimated!
Mi Qi and Mi Su, who were born and bred in aristocratic families, were naturally sensitive to such things. The strength displayed by the Papatte Mech Squad had left them in awe. They now suspected that this Papatte Mech Squad was a hidden pawn of the Three Aristocratic Families.
Their fearsome discipline and obedience were something that only true soldiers would have, and yet they were in this group of people. They noticed that the Papatte Mech Squad's members were always vigilant, no matter the time or the situation. Even in their daily lives, the way they walked secretly formed a special pattern.
As the son of the Mi Family's leader, Mi Qi had seen the Mi Family's secret force before. However, in his eyes, the secret force was not as good as the Papatte Mech Squad in all aspects, except for their better equipment. Although he had never seen these people fight, the information that they revealed from their every move was enough to prove that these people were well-versed in combat. This was something that Uncle Yun had already agreed with. When Uncle Yun mentioned this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly. Even the usually calm Uncle Yun had lost his composure. Mi Qi and Mi Su were even more shocked.
The three of them did not witness the capabilities of the 1,000 mechs outside, so they could not make a judgment. However, the 100 combat experts before them were a force to be reckoned with no matter where they were. Even the elite Douglas Mech Squad did not have so many Grandmasters of Combat of this caliber.
How could they nurture such elite members? Mi Qi and the other two looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
However, the Papatte Mech Squad's strength was inversely proportional to their equipment. It was a pile of trash! Mi Qi could still remember the first time he saw the colorful mechs. The first thought that flashed through his mind was, "How are they going to get a bunch of scavengers to make up the numbers?"
"What a pity!" Mi Qi lamented. He even felt a deep sense of humiliation. It was as if the Jie experts in front of him were only wearing a piece of cloth, while the so-called elites in his family were wearing luxurious clothes. It made him feel as if a seasoning bottle had been knocked over, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Mi Su said softly, "Not necessarily. These mechs … err … could be some kind of flying machine!" She was not sure, but her kind nature justified her, "Maybe it's some kind of secret weapon." However, seeing Mi Qi's disapproving expression, her voice grew softer. Truth be told, even she herself did not believe it.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Yun said, "Miss is right. Maybe it really is some kind of secret weapon. The colors might just be a disguise."
Mi Qi pursed his lips. "Maybe." His handsome face showed his disapproval.
Just then, Old Chief Guo brought a masked man towards them. He smiled and said, "What are you guys talking about? Could it be that our squad did not treat you well? "
Mi Qi quickly said, "Your squad has been so considerate. Even Fan Qi is feeling uneasy." For safety reasons, the three of them used fake names, Fan Qi, Fan Su and Fan Yun. Ye Chong and Old Chief Guo did not suspect their identities. Fan Qing had introduced them, so they were disciples of the Fan family. That was the most logical explanation.
The three of them looked at the masked man beside Old Chief Guo. The masked man was tall, and stood out among the group. The others were all short and skinny. Besides, the three of them noticed that every member treated this masked man with unusual respect. The three of them were all sharp-eyed people. Naturally, they could see that this was a sincere respect. Even Regiment Commander Guo would show him respect from time to time.
However, this man was rather skinny, and did not look like he was trained in combat. This made the three of them even more cautious. A man who knew nothing about combat, and yet was respected by so many combat experts, must have something special about him.
Ye Chong had spent a long time learning how to hide his aura and disguise himself as a normal person. Being able to fool Uncle Yun this time was a good sign. The Sang Family Village did not have this skill. They were now like sharp blades, full of killing intent. They had never thought of hiding their aura, which seemed ridiculous to them.
"And this is?" As Mi Qi spoke, the three of them looked at the masked man beside Old Chief Guo.
"This is our squad's tactical advisor, Yang Ming." Old Chief Guo made up a story. While it was not long, he had a good grasp of his boss's temper. His boss would never blame him for something like this. He might even think that it saved him the trouble of coming up with fake names.
As expected, Ye Chong was not displeased. He nodded slightly to the three of them.
Mi Qi and the other two were impressed. Papatte Mech Squad's superb tactical prowess was all thanks to this man before him. No wonder everyone treated him with such respect even though he was physically weak.
Mi Qi's first thought was that if he could recruit this man, how strong would the Mi Family become? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good idea. However, he was not stupid enough to say such things to the other squad leader.
Mi Su curiously looked at the tall masked man. The silver mask covered his entire face, but his eyes gave her a very strange feeling. Indifference, a kind of indifference that reached deep into his bones, as if there was nothing in this world that could move him.
In her mind, a stunning man with a calm temperament immediately appeared. However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not see his face clearly, as if it was shrouded in smoke.
"Huh?" she thought to herself. She could feel the almost undetectable ripple in his eyes as he looked at her. Her heart skipped a beat. Inexplicably, a blush appeared on her neck.
If she knew what Ye Chong was thinking right now, how would she react?
Another beauty! If Shang were here, he would be very excited! Ye Chong could not help but think of Shang, who would squeal at the sight of beautiful women.
She stole a glance at him, and Mi Su felt a tug at her heartstrings. That pair of calm eyes suddenly became incomparably deep. She could see the faint memories in his eyes.
Beauties. Ye Chong thought of Shang's unwavering efforts to teach him how to appreciate beauty. His lips curved slightly behind the mask. Suddenly, the image of a girl in a white training garb flashed across his mind.
