In the Heavenly God Base, Xiao Ran had just finished talking to old man Raphael about the Union's new MS R&D department. He asked old man Raphael to find some time in the next day or two to organize this matter. Before he could get an answer from old man Raphael, the door to the office began to ring.
Xiao Ran opened the door and saw Red Dragon standing outside. He was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's news from Laguna. There's a situation there." Red Dragon glanced at old man Raphael sitting in front of the computer through the gap between Xiao Ran's body and said in a low voice.
Xiao Ran instantly frowned. He walked out and closed the door. "What's going on?"
Red Dragon said in a low voice, "The mercenary in charge of Laguna's transportation discovered our goods and asked for a body as a reward. However, Laguna said he doesn't have the right. The other party wants to meet you in person."
"Although the other party has already transported the bodies to the designated place and locked them up, and they haven't taken any of our people hostage, if this matter isn't handled properly, it might bring us some trouble."
"That idiot." Xiao Ran frowned and cursed. He then asked, "Why would they need to find mercenaries for this kind of thing? What's the identity of the other party?"
"A mercenary by the name of Ali Al'Sashis."
"It's him?" Xiao Ran paused for a moment when he heard this name. He pondered for a moment and nodded. "In that case, go prepare. We'll go. You and I will go. We'll bring along Nalor."
"I'll go prepare." Red Dragon nodded and turned to leave.
Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes. "The plot has changed so much. Why is Laguna still involved with that mercenary? That idiot. But I should thank that idiot. He actually found that mercenary to carry out the guard mission. That saved me a lot of trouble. "
"But that mercenary didn't take any hostages or bodies. His work ethic is pretty good."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He pushed open the door and walked into old man Raphael's office again. He said to old man Raphael, "Mr. Raphael, I have some things to take care of. When do you want to go back?"
"It'll take about a day to analyze the data of the new machine. Just pick me up tomorrow at this time." Raphael waved his hand. He didn't even turn to look at Xiao Ran. "If you have something to do, go do it. Don't disturb me here."
Xiao Ran saw that old man Raphael's entire body was computer. He shook shook his head speechlessly. "I'll take my leave, Mr. Raphael...
"Mhmm," Raphael replied, his eyes moving left and right on the computer screen. Raphael greedily absorbed all the information about the solar furnace. He was completely addicted to it. "So that's how it is. Those light particles really have a special ability. It's incredible. How did the person who created this thing think of it?"
Listening to old man Raphael's muttering, the door behind Xiao Ran closed automatically. When Xiao Ran arrived at the hangar, Red Dragon and Nalor were already waiting by the plane. The three of them directly boarded the plane. Red Dragon drove the plane and slowly rose into the air. Then, they quickly flew towards their destination.
The base provided by Laguna was located on a seemingly uninhabited island in the high seas. From the outside, the island didn't look any different from other uninhabited islands. However, when a lawn with a diameter of tens of meters slowly opened in the middle of the island, revealing a large Gnacou inside, Xiao Ran knew that this island only looked ordinary on the outside. The inside had undergone considerable transformation.
After getting off the plane, more than a dozen mercenaries surrounded the plane. In this huge Gnacou. Huge iron boxes about 20 meters high were neatly stacked against the wall on the edge of the Gnacou. As one of the protagonists of this negotiation, the red-haired Ali Al'Sashis was sitting on a chair at this moment. He was looking at the aircraft in the Gnacou with great interest.
When the cabin door of the plane slowly opened, the sound of the mercenaries loading their weapons rang in the quiet Gnacou. Xiao Ran also walked to the cabin door at this time. He frowned and looked at the more than a dozen mercenaries below who were pointing their weapons at him.
Xiao Ran turned his head and glanced at Red Dragon who was fully armed. He shook his head slightly. "Red Dragon, you don't have to go down."
Red Dragon was stunned for a moment. But after seeing the seriousness in Xiao Ran's eyes, Red Dragon nodded. "I'll stay in the cabin to provide support."
Nalor glanced at Red Dragon. Her expression suddenly froze, and then it turned into joy. She held the pistol with both hands and checked it on her waist. Then, she followed Xiao Ran down the plane.
As soon as the two came down, the mercenaries swarmed up and directly surrounded them. When Xiao Ran saw so many guns pointed at him, he frowned with great dissatisfaction. He looked at the mercenary Sashis not far away. "What? As mercenaries, you will also point your guns at your employer?"
"Haha." Sashis laughed and stood up. He raised his index finger at Xiao Ran. "I'm a very principled mercenary. Of course, I won't point my weapon at my employer. This is just a misunderstanding. Guys, put down your guns."
Sashis walked slowly to Xiao Ran with a polite smile on his face. It was impossible to tell that this guy was actually an extremely cruel and crazy person. "I'm really sorry. I should have personally visited to discuss the reward, but that guy was unwilling to tell me who my employer is. So, I can only wait here."
Xiao Ran wouldn't be deceived by this guy's appearance. On the contrary, he looked at him with great interest. "Say it. What do you want?"
Sashis looked at Xiao Ran seriously and said, "Then, allow me to say it directly. I want to ask you to give me one of the new models that I transported as the reward for this mission."
"I will only give you the original reward for this mission. A qualified mercenary shouldn't change the agreed upon reward at will."
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, a dozen mercenaries raised their weapons and aimed at him again. Nalor also pulled out her pistol at this moment. She turned into a blur and dashed in front of Sashis. The moment Sashis reacted, one of the two pistols was aimed at his forehead while the other was aimed at his arm.
Nalor's attitude towards Xiao Ran could be said to be very good. She was also very kind to Graham. However, she didn't treat the others the same way. She fully displayed the attitude of a participant and a predator. Her face was full of coldness and the corner of her mouth curved into a cold smile. "Make them put down their weapons. You should be able to see that I have the ability to kill you before they open fire and protect him."
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Sashis' forehead. He forced a smile and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. Hey, little ones, hurry up and put down your guns."
The dozen mercenaries looked at each other. When they heard Sashis's order, they threw their weapons to the side without hesitation and retreated to gather together.
Nalor put away her weapon and kicked Sashis's knee, causing him to kneel on the ground. She then asked Xiao Ran, "General, how should we deal with these people?"
Xiao Ran looked at Nalor with satisfaction. Although he wasn't afraid of being pointed at by a dozen ordinary people with conventional firearms in this world, with his physique, he could escape from the encirclement of these mercenaries in an instant and counterattack. Although Prometheus's fighting and shooting skills weren't considered orthodox skills and wouldn't appear in the skill bar, compared to the ordinary people in this world, it was already extremely impressive.
However, Xiao Ran was very satisfied with Nalor's reaction. After nodding to Nalor, Xiao Ran walked up to Sashis and pulled him up. He said to Sashis calmly, "Your mistake is to appear in front of me without knowing my background. But I'm different. I know everything. That's why I dared to appear in front of you."
"I can agree to your request for the Mechs. I still lack pilots who can pilot these Mechs and people who can run errands for me. As a mercenary, you can work for me according to the mercenary's rules. The reward will be money and countless battles that you can enjoy for the rest of your life."
Xiao Ran turned around and began to walk back to the plane. "It doesn't matter how many people there are. I only want people who can keep their mouths shut and obey my orders. I will wait for you on the plane."
As Xiao Ran walked towards the plane step by step, Nalor seemed to understand Xiao Ran's intention. She sneered and threw the pistol in her hand in front of Sashis. Then, she followed Xiao Ran to the plane.
Sarcis picked up the weapon in front of him, spat, and stood up from the ground. He pointed the weapon at his subordinates and laughed sinisterly. "You heard what they said just now. If I want to stay alive, I have to be obedient and useful. Those who are not obedient and useless will die. Now, tell me, who is obedient and useful?"
These mercenaries knew their boss's character too well. Everyone began to sweat on their foreheads. Then, they raised their hands in panic. "Boss, don't you know us? No matter what you say, we won't have any problems."
"Yes, Boss. We have been following you for so many years. We have always been obedient."
Looking at the mercenaries scrambling to express their loyalty, the sinister smile on Sarcis's face slowly disappeared. In the end, it turned into a kind smile. "Of course I know that you have been following me for so many years and are all very loyal. But let me warn you, this is not the same as the previous missions. All of us have been recruited. If anyone dares to betray me or disobey my orders, don't blame me for not going easy on you."
