《Northern Myanmar: Bloodshed in the Golden Triangle, Have I Become a General?》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Reincarnated in Northern Myanmar, Becoming the Second-in-Command of an Organization? Killing Big Brother!Northern Myanmar. Kachin State. Jagwe Town, Back Mountain. A quiet night. An oppressive atmosphere accompanied by a misty drizzle spread out. Shadows moved through the dimly lit jungle. The clash of shovels against soil. Creating Rustling¡ª Rustling¡ª Sounds. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head spun, and he felt as if there were countless buzzing flies around his ears. With each drop of rain hitting his face. And the unknown substances splashing onto his body. Zhao Renzhou gradually regained some consciousness. With the fusion of unfamiliar memories that did not belong to him. The buzzing sound in his ears. Also transformed into the Burmese and Dragon Country languages that he could understand. Wait a minute! Wasn¡¯t I supposed to be blown up? Zhao Renzhou, originally a mercenary and arms dealer. Instantly sobered up! Although he couldn¡¯t figure out why he hadn¡¯t died. And had also merged with unfamiliar memories. But there was no time to think about it now. He slightly twisted his body to confirm his situation. Bound, in a deep pit, buried alive¡­ It seemed like he had been drugged¡­ Those substances splashed on him¡­ Were they damn soil?! Damn it! Zhao Renzhou¡¯s expression darkened. This body felt somewhat off. He activated the merged memories to find out the reason for this predicament. Don¡¯t tell me I just came back to life only to die again?! Damn it! And he also tried to see if his arms dealer inventory was still intact¡­ At that moment, Bang¡ª Another shovel of soil was thrown over. Directly landing on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s inherent fiery temper, combined with the instincts of his original body, made him instantly raise his head. He shouted at the person filling the pit: ¡°You damn it!¡± ¡°You blind idiot!¡± ¡°You¡¯re throwing it right on my damn head!¡± ¡°Are you tired of living?!¡± His tone was filled with ferocity. Coupled with his menacing expression. The underling filling the pit was so frightened that he shivered. People take after their names, and trees cast their shadows. The original body was never a good thing to begin with. Seeing the second-in-command still had the strength to shout at people, the underlings were left dumbfounded and didn¡¯t know what to do. Suddenly, a voice sounded out: ¡°Continue.¡± Only then did the underlings react and continue filling the pit. Inside the pit, Zhao Renzhou heard the voice as well. With the memories merged, he naturally knew who it was. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s thoughts raced, and he shouted, ¡°Big brother?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have to be so ruthless?!¡± ¡°We¡¯ve been brothers for over ten years?!¡± ¡°Because of a batch of goods, you want to kill me?!¡± These were all things Zhao Renzhou had discovered by accessing the memories of his original body. It seemed that his original self had swindled his sworn brother Chen Jinlong out of quite a bit of merchandise. Had he been found out this time? This is ridiculous¡­ Zhao Renzhou cursed under his breath. Is this all you¡¯re capable of¡­ At the same time, Zhao Renzhou also realized that he seemed to have crossed over¡­ even though it was absurd. But there was no time to think about it now. All he hoped for was that his original self, who had been sworn brothers with Chen Jinlong for over ten years, might have some sentiment left. His personal arms dealer inventory was still intact. All he needed to do was deceive that unfortunate brother to come closer. Damn it¡­ On this side, upon hearing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s words, Chen Jinlong, who was standing above, raised his hand. All the underlings who were burying Zhao Renzhou stopped their work. Seeing that there was no more soil being thrown down, Zhao Renzhou moved his body and adjusted his position. Chen Jinlong strolled over to the edge of the pit and squatted down. ¡°Don¡¯t struggle,¡± he said, ¡°That¡¯s cow tendon rope; you won¡¯t be able to break free.¡± He had a burly build and a fierce expression. His face bore many scars. He stared at Zhao Renzhou with a grim expression. Zhao Renzhou pretended to smile bitterly and continued to struggle. ¡°Big brother?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this a bit much?¡± ¡°Over a batch of goods?¡± ¡°Over ten years of brotherhood, and it can¡¯t compare to those goods?¡± In the dark jungle, unnoticed by anyone, Zhao Renzhou somehow had a blade in his hand, continuously scraping against the rope. Chen Jinlong¡¯s face darkened. ¡°I treated you like a brother!¡± ¡°What the hell did you take me for?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know!¡± ¡°It¡¯s always been you secretly causing trouble behind my back!¡± ¡°I wanted to make money with my brothers!¡± ¡°But what about you?!¡± ¡°You opposed me at every turn!¡± ¡°I tolerated you all these years out of respect for our brotherhood!¡± ¡°But is this how you repay me?!¡± ¡°This time, you directly sabotaged our cooperation with the Ta Zhai?!¡± ¡°Now that we¡¯ve lost those technologies!¡± ¡°What can we do in the Golden Triangle?!¡± ¡°Are you satisfied now?!¡± Zhao Renzhou, berated by Chen Jinlong, felt no remorse. Instead, it ignited his anger. A surge of memories from his original self was instantly summoned, and Zhao Renzhou angrily retorted: ¡°Go to hell!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget!¡± ¡°How did our fathers die!¡± ¡°One from eating white noodles, the other from eating rock candy!¡± ¡°Now you¡¯re in the rock candy business?!¡± While cursing, Zhao Renzhou struggled violently. Originally buried halfway in the pit, he suddenly lunged toward Chen Jinlong, tripping and managing to extend one leg. However, that was as far as he could go. After his tirade, Zhao Renzhou seemed to lose his strength. He was half-kneeling, with one leg on the ground. He was panting heavily, glaring at Chen Jinlong. A trace of shame and anger flashed in Chen Jinlong¡¯s eyes. He jumped down into the pit. Bang! He punched Zhao Renzhou in the face. Then he grabbed Zhao Renzhou¡¯s collar in anger. ¡°So what?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you forget?!¡± ¡°Where are we?!¡± ¡°This is the Golden Triangle!¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t sell rock candy, what the hell do I sell?!¡± ¡°How do I feed all these brothers?!¡± Do you think I have it easy?!¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your interference!¡± ¡°With the latest refining technology from Ta Zhai!¡± ¡°It wouldn¡¯t have taken long! The entire Kachin State would have been ours?!¡± ¡°But now?!¡± ¡°We can only cower in this lousy place?!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Suddenly! Chen Jinlong¡¯s face turned pale, as if he had discovered something unimaginable. Crack! There was an explosion. The rope binding Zhao Renzhou¡­ Directly exploded and burst apart! Zhao Renzhou, who had been prepared well in advance, was within arm¡¯s reach. He grabbed Chen Jinlong¡¯s neck and seemed to effortlessly lift him off the ground. His other hand reached for Chen Jinlong¡¯s back and pulled out the gold-plated revolver, the one Chen Jinlong cared for dearly. He pointed it at Chen Jinlong¡¯s head. ¡°Back off, all of you!¡± With Chen Jinlong¡¯s neck in his grip, Zhao Renzhou slowly climbed out of the deep pit. Chen Jinlong, who had initially appeared burly and fierce, now looked like he was a size smaller than Zhao Renzhou. It made sense, given that he had such a cunning little brother. No one could trust him. No wonder he had to be drugged to be subdued. Zhao Renzhou surveyed his surroundings. ¡°Drop your guns.¡± The group of henchmen looked at each other, their hands hovering near their waists, unwilling to make any sudden moves. Zhao Renzhou sneered. He pressed the revolver against Chen Jinlong¡¯s head, causing him to take a deep breath. He spoke through clenched teeth: ¡°Drop your guns.¡± That damn fake medicine peddler, huh? How the hell did he recover in just two hours?! Damn it¡­ Just you wait! Hearing Chen Jinlong¡¯s words, the henchmen by the pit slowly took their guns out and placed them on the ground. Then, they raised their hands slowly, signaling that they posed no threat. Chen Jinlong remained calm and composed, saying, ¡°The keys are still in the car. Our brotherhood ends here. You can leave now. I promise not to pursue you.¡± Even in this situation, Chen Jinlong maintained a steady demeanor, trying to keep Zhao Renzhou from losing control. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Leave?¡± He looked at the henchmen who had just buried him. In an instant, he raised the revolver in his hand and smashed it against Chen Jinlong¡¯s temple, sending him sprawling to the ground. Then, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang¡ª A total of six shots! Exactly six henchmen, each with a bullet to the forehead, all fell down. S~?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Next, the gold-plated revolver in Zhao Renzhou¡¯s hand disassembled instantly, and his personal storage space received more energy, enabling him to summon a larger weapon. From his personal storage space, Zhao Renzhou retrieved a gun. In an instant, a shotgun appeared in his hand. Zhao Renzhou swung it towards Chen Jinlong¡¯s head. ¡°You son of a bitch!¡± ¡°Coarse!¡± ¡°I¡¯m gonna leave, damn it?!¡± ¡°Coarse!¡± Bang bang¡ª¡ª Bits of bone accompanied the splatter of blood¡­. It must be said, Chen Jinlong was really out of luck¡­. Because Zhao Renzhou had already changed his core¡­. So what rules would he follow¡­. As for Zhao Renzhou. He was just venting his anger. After all, he died inexplicably, experiencing the despair of death. Suddenly he opened his eyes and found himself being buried alive¡­. In this situation¡­. Who wouldn¡¯t be irritable¡­. Crack¡ª¡ª The crisp sound of bones breaking. Zhao Renzhou held the gunstock. And directly smashed it onto Chen Jinlong¡¯s teeth-filled mouth. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± One heavy blow after another. Shattering Chen Jinlong¡¯s lower jaw bone. With continuous heavy blows to the head, this self-proclaimed local kingpin, Chen Jinlong. Was already delirious, body instinctively twitching¡­. Legs trembling¡­. Zhao Renzhou felt it wasn¡¯t enough, so he picked up the shotgun. Click click¡ª¡ª Directly chambering a round. Aimed at Chen Jinlong¡¯s knees. ¡°Coarse!¡± Bang bang¡ª¡ª Two loud bangs. Chen Jinlong¡¯s knees were completely wrecked. Intense pain caused Chen Jinlong¡¯s two thighs to tremble continuously. But his lower legs were limp on the ground. Followed by the contorted body swinging¡­. The anger in Zhao Renzhou¡¯s heart dissipated somewhat. ¡°Damn it¡­.¡± He loaded the shotgun in his hand again. Bent down. One hand lifting the disabled Chen Jinlong. Dragged him to a nearby jeep. Opened the trunk and tossed him in directly. Then closed the trunk. Walked to the front, opened the car door, and sat in the driver¡¯s seat. Placed the shotgun beside him. Zhao Renzhou rummaged around on the side. Found a cigar, lit it, and took a couple of puffs. ¡°Exhale¡ª¡ª¡± Exhaled a long plume of smoke. His hand didn¡¯t stop, turned the key. The car roared to life. Drove away from here. Zhao Renzhou drove away in the car, taking advantage of the rainy night. Disappearing from this place. Damn it¡­. Now he needed to find a place quickly. To examine those unfamiliar memories. To figure out what¡¯s going on¡­. The last image he remembered should have been betrayed by those bastards from the Free State. He was supposed to have been blown up. How did he end up here? Northern Myanmar? What the hell kind of place is this? Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Portable Armory Space and Taking Care of Big Sister-in-law.On the muddy road, A jeep with its headlights on sped away. Zhao Renzhou was behind the wheel. After driving for about ten minutes, He casually found a fork in the road. He turned the steering wheel and went down it. Bringing the car to a stop. The car lights were turned off. The pitch-black jeep. Instantly blending into the night. Perfectly hidden. Zhao Renzhou sat in the driver¡¯s seat. His right hand rested on the shotgun by his side. His left hand picked up a cigar, taking a deep puff. Exhaling directly out the window: ¡°Exhale¡ª¡ª¡± White smoke slowly billowed out. After the silence returned. Painful cries from Chen Jinlong came from the trunk. But Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t have time to pay attention. He pressed his temple. Starting to sort through his memories. This body now. Zhao Renzhou tilted the rearview mirror¡­. It looked quite similar to himself, and the name was the same¡­. But it was clearly not himself. Parallel world? In his own world, he was killed by a missile. In this parallel world, he was buried alive¡­. Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t help but grind his teeth. Why was everything so unlucky? In his previous life, Zhao Renzhou was a mercenary. However, he was different from those big organizations. He operated independently. But with the military arsenal space acquired by chance, He engaged in arms dealing on both sides of the battlefield between drivers and Russians. Making money on both ends¡­. Perhaps he was too active. He touched the interests of certain people. Just after concluding a deal with the driver¡¯s side, the base suddenly exploded. He didn¡¯t have time to react at all. The explosion started from beneath his feet¡­. Bang! Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t help but slap the steering wheel: ¡°Damn it¡­.¡± ¡°They really spared no expense¡­.¡± ¡°One base, and they just blew it up¡­.¡± He never expected that the Free State and the drivers would be shameless to this extent. To kill him, they were willing to bury an entire base along with him¡­. ¡°Damn it¡­. Was it necessary? I just sold them some equipment and supplies when their supply lines were cut off by the Russians, right? You guys are the ones who screwed up, losing an entire province to the enemy? Can you blame me?¡± Coarse! Zhao Renzhou took a deep breath. He was already dead, and thinking about it wouldn¡¯t change anything. For some reason, his armory space was sealed off. The nearly unlocked armory was now completely sealed. He had barely managed to produce a blade just now. If he hadn¡¯t absorbed the gold from the plated revolver, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to take out this shotgun. Zhao Renzhou started to access his fused memories. To quickly understand his current situation¡­. In his original memories, He and Chen Jinlong were from the same village. They followed their father to work in the city when they were young. Their father later got addicted to drugs, he didn¡¯t know why. In the end, their family was ruined. They became orphans¡­. The two of them struggled and eventually made their way to Northern Myanmar. They managed to establish themselves with sheer determination. But Northern Myanmar was not an easy place. For those who understand, they understand¡­. Chen Jinlong couldn¡¯t resist the lure of profits either. He started trafficking in drugs. This was something the original self could not accept. Especially this time. He was about to cooperate with the Tazhai Group from the Dragon Country¡­. To increase the supply of raw materials to the Dragon Country. In exchange for introducing more advanced ice-making methods. That¡¯s how the previous scene came about. Zhao Renzhou squinted his eyes, his index finger constantly tapping on the gun barrel: ¡°Tazhai¡­.¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite interesting¡­.¡± He wondered if it was the same Tazhai as in his memories. If the person in charge of Tazhai was surnamed Lin¡­. That would be even more interesting¡­. Thinking about it, Accessing more memories. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s expression gradually became strange¡­. Kunsha, Luoxinghan, Nuokang, Naimi, Mindeng¡­. How did all these people end up together? Was the competition in the Golden Triangle so fierce? In the original memories, These were all formidable figures currently active in the Golden Triangle. Well¡­. Including Tazhai and the like. This is a real mix¡­. The original self and his big brother Chen Jinlong, dealing with this group of people. Carving out a territory together¡­. That could also be considered quite an achievement. But now, there was no way to keep Chen Jinlong. Zhao Renzhou had been lured by Chen Jinlong under the pretext of celebrating his sister-in-law¡¯s birthday and having a family gathering. He was drugged and brought here. He had just had a few drinks and was already drugged. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Renzhou¡¯s crossover, he would have been buried by now¡­. Thinking about this, Zhao Renzhou patted himself. There was nothing on him. Clearly, his weapons and phone had been taken away. Zhao Renzhou got out of the car with the shotgun in his right hand. He walked to the trunk. And opened it directly. Looking at the blurry figure of Chen Jinlong, who seemed to be in a daze. Zhao Renzhou searched around. And found Chen Jinlong¡¯s phone. He dialed a number directly, calling his subordinate Zhao Hu. In less than three seconds, The call was connected, and the first thing said was: ¡°Boss.¡± Hearing the voice, Zhao Renzhou immediately cursed: ¡°You damn big boss?!¡± ¡°It¡¯s me!¡± On the other end, Zhao Hu was also taken aback. ¡°What the fuck?!¡± ¡°Big Brother?!¡± Chen Jinlong and Zhao Renzhou each had their loyal subordinates. Zhao Hu was clearly surprised. How could Big Brother Chen Jinlong¡¯s number have Big Brother Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice¡­. Zhao Renzhou said: ¡°Now! Immediately! Right away!¡± ¡°Arm yourselves!¡± ¡°Control Chen Jinlong¡¯s people for me!¡± ¡°If anyone acts up, take them out directly!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°I almost got fucking buried alive today!¡± ¡°Get some of our guys!¡± ¡°Surround his place for me?¡± ¡°And we¡¯re still going to celebrate for my ¡®sister-in-law¡¯?¡± Zhao Renzhou was on the phone. Looking at the writhing Chen Jinlong in pain. His tone became more sinister: ¡°We didn¡¯t have enough fun just now¡­.¡± ¡°Now I¡¯m going to celebrate ¡®sister-in-law¡¯s¡¯ birthday properly¡­.¡± He hung up the phone. Grabbing Chen Jinlong by the collar. Lifting him up. Raising one hand¡­. And gently slapping Chen Jinlong¡¯s half of the face. Making a smacking sound¡­. ¡°Big Brother¡­.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take good care of your wife today¡­.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you relieve some stress¡­.¡± ¡°No need to thank me¡­.¡± His words taunted Chen Jinlong. In response to the words, Chen Jinlong Erupted into a more hateful roar. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Thrashing about wildly¡­. Zhao Renzhou smiled coldly. He tossed him aside. Thud¡ª The trunk was closed. Under the cover of night, A jeep turned onto a small road. Heading straight for the home of Chen Jinlong, the leader of the most powerful force in Gawei Town. Roaring away¡­. Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Zhao Renzhou: Sister-in-law, Kneel Down!On the other side, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s subordinate, Zhao Hu, received the call, and his eyes immediately turned red. ¡°You dare to betray Big Brother?!¡± ¡°Goddammit!¡± He looked at his subordinates who were still playing cards and picked up a nearby bottle of liquor, smashing it on the ground. Glass shards scattered everywhere, startling everyone in the room. Zhao Hu said viciously, ¡°Stop playing, all of you!¡± ¡°Get your weapons!¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong betrayed Big Brother!¡± As soon as they heard this, Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates couldn¡¯t sit still. S~?a??h the N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong betrayed Big Brother?!¡± ¡°Is Big Brother okay?!¡± ¡°Where is Big Brother?!¡± Zhao Hu shouted, ¡°Stop making noise, damn it!¡± ¡°Big Brother is fine for now!¡± ¡°Control Chen Jinlong!¡± ¡°Ah Bao, take a group of people and surround Chen Jinlong¡¯s house.¡± ¡°Wait for Big Brother to arrive.¡± ¡°The rest of you, come with me.¡± ¡°Goddammit!¡± ¡°Today, we¡¯re going to wipe out those bastards!¡± A man who looked similar to Zhao Hu but was just as fierce, Zhao Bao, stood up. Zhao Hu gave some instructions to Zhao Bao, who nodded and then signaled for his men to follow him out. Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao were brothers, and both were Zhao Renzhou¡¯s trusted subordinates. One was fierce, and the other was crafty. They had no personal loyalty to Chen Jinlong or his men, and it had long been clear that they didn¡¯t like each other. While Zhao Renzhou and Chen Jinlong had a bond from their past, their subordinates had no such loyalty. They had seen each other as rivals for a while now. They just didn¡¯t expect Chen Jinlong to be so ruthless this time, using a birthday celebration as a pretext to deceive Zhao Renzhou. If it weren¡¯t for a change in circumstances, Zhao Renzhou might have met his end. That night, the sound of gunfire in Gawei Town was incessant. Of course, that¡¯s another story¡­ While Zhao Hu led a large group of men to clean up Chen Jinlong¡¯s underlings, Zhao Bao and his men had surrounded Chen Jinlong¡¯s villa. It was hard to believe that in a place like Gawei Town, filled with shabby buildings, there was such a massive mansion. The mansion, a three-story structure that resembled a castle, stood in the center of a vast courtyard. In each corner of the courtyard were towering watchtowers, with guards stationed on top of each one. A group of people had stopped at a considerable distance from the estate. This was their territory, Chen Jinlong¡¯s mansion. Zhao Bao was well aware of the layout, the number of guards, and everything else. With Zhao Bao included, there were twelve people in total, divided into four groups, each approaching the mansion separately. Inside the mansion, Chen Jinlong¡¯s wife, also known as Madam Chi Yunmeng, was wearing a tight qipao that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her shoulder-length wavy hair added a touch of laziness to her appearance. At this moment, Madam Chi Yunmeng stood by the window with a slight frown, feeling uneasy. She was aware of the plan to kill Zhao Renzhou, but she didn¡¯t know if it was due to the weather or some other reason. The misty drizzle outside was particularly irritating. Chi Yunmeng shook her head and picked up a highball glass from the coffee table nearby, emptying the red wine inside in a single gulp. Suddenly, gunshots rang out: bang, bang, bang! Bullets flew, shattering the glass and causing a cacophony of broken glass sounds. Outside, a mixture of Burmese and Thai curses and the continuous sound of gunfire could be heard. Inside the villa, Chi Yunmeng, at the moment when the gunshots began, had already taken cover behind a wall. Her heart pounded as she realized that something had gone terribly wrong. As the gunshots continued and the attention shifted away, she quickly rushed to the sofa, grabbed the phone placed on the coffee table, and dialed a number without hesitation. The call was answered immediately, but it wasn¡¯t Chen Jinlong¡¯s voice on the other end. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice came through the phone with a hint of playfulness: ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Is this Big Sister-in-law?¡± ¡°Big Brother got drunk.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to take him home.¡± ¡°Are you at home?¡± Accompanied by the sound of an engine revving. Chi Yunmeng didn¡¯t hesitate and simply hung up the phone. She couldn¡¯t help feeling annoyed. ¡°It really went wrong¡­¡± What happened? Were they idiots? They drugged him and tied him up, and they couldn¡¯t even bury a person properly? Chi Yunmeng quickly dialed another number, but something didn¡¯t feel right. The sound of the car engine didn¡¯t disappear after ending the call; in fact, it was getting louder and louder. Chi Yunmeng¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted, and she turned her head just in time to hear a deafening explosion. Boom! The entire villa shook from the impact. The pitch-black jeep roared as it crashed through the door, nearly surrounded by the opposition. However, it stood firmly in the center of the hall. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head spun for a moment, and he shook it to clear his thoughts. He grabbed his shotgun and pushed aside the airbag, then kicked open the car door with a loud bang. Thud! The car door dropped to the ground, and Zhao Renzhou stepped out with his shotgun in hand. He aimed it at the bewildered Chi Yunmeng and spoke in a playful tone: ¡°Big Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°Kneel down.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°Bullets don¡¯t discriminate, you know¡­¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4: The Enormous Fruit and Childe Yunmeng¡¯s Supplication.The barrel of the gun gleamed menacingly, pointing directly at Childe Yunmeng. A sensation of life-threatening danger enveloped her. It caused Childe Yunmeng¡¯s pupils to involuntarily contract, and her hairs stood on end. Childe Yunmeng slowly placed her cellphone on the ground. Her gaze remained fixed on Zhao Renzhou. After taking a deep breath, She spoke: ¡°Where is your elder brother¡­¡± A faint smirk tugged at the corner of Zhao Renzhou¡¯s mouth. The gun barrel shifted. Bang, the bullet narrowly grazed by Childe Yunmeng¡¯s side, Shattering the nearby coffee table.childe Yunmeng¡¯s legs gave way beneath her. She collapsed onto the ground. The ample fruit wrapped in her qipao trembled along with her¡­ She looked at Zhao Renzhou with a mixture of astonishment and uncertainty: ¡°You..!¡± What in the world has gotten into this guy?! S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Childe Yunmeng cursed inwardly. Zhao Renzhou spoke in a quiet tone: ¡°I told you to kneel.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard?¡±Hmm?¡± Childe Yunmeng¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. Crazy,this guy¡¯s insane. You almost killed me over this?! But with no other choice.she slowly bent down, dropping to her knees. She furrowed her brow and placed both her hands on the ground. Assuming a crawling posture on her knees. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s playful voice sounded: ¡°Yes, yes, just like that.¡± ¡°But raise your butt a bit.¡± He kept shifting the shotgun in his hand. Watching the swaying barrel, Childe Yunmeng, suppressing her shame and anger, raised a certain part.zhao Renzhou burst into a wicked laugh: ¡°Maintain this position, don¡¯t move, or else this shotgun might not be so careful.¡± Zhao Renzhou slowly lowered the shotgun. He took a few steps back towards the Jeep¡¯s trunk. Opening the trunk, He grabbed Chen Jinlong¡¯s bloodied collar from the bumpy journey. And tossed it outside. Plop¡ª There lay a person covered in blood, unrecognizable in appearance. They had been thrown not far from Childe Yunmeng. Childe Yunmeng knelt and crawled on the ground, her pupils constricting. She stared intensely at the blood-soaked figure. Though their face was unrecognizable, Their body shape and clothing were still distinguishable. Zhao Renzhou adjusted his neck and said: ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°Big brother had a bit too much to drink.¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking him home.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to thank me?¡± Zhao Renzhou held the shotgun¡¯s stock in his right hand. His left hand gripped the fore-end of the barrel. Click, click¡ª He loaded a shell. Strolling over unsteadily, childe Yunmeng took a deep breath. Kneeling and crawling on the ground, she looked up at Zhao Renzhou: ¡°What do you want?¡± Although her tone remained as calm as possible,her clenched fists on the ground revealed her inner turmoil no one wants to die. And she was no exception. Zhao Renzhou chuckled and said: ¡°My big brother is involved in quite a few things.¡± ¡°There must be a lot in all of this.¡± ¡°He¡¯s been keeping things from me, his little brother.¡± ¡°My sister-in-law probably doesn¡¯t know much.¡± ¡°If she does know,¡± ¡°She should tell me in detail¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s ears twitched, and he smiled: ¡°But, well¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the right time now.¡± Kneeling and crawling on the ground, Childe Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s request. As long as she still had some use¡­ But what followed made her heart race again. At that moment, Zhao Bao entered with his men. The gunfire from outside had ceased at some point. Seeing the underlings approach, Childe Yunmeng quickly lowered her head, her body involuntarily shrinking. She unintentionally assumed the posture of being Zhao Renzhou¡¯s sister-in-law. If the henchmen saw her like this, it would be so embarrassing! Shame tortured Childe Yunmeng. But what she didn¡¯t realize was that in doing so, The part that had been raised behind her. Due to the presence of the sofa blocking the view, Other than Zhao Renzhou, no one else could see it. Zhao Bao walked over at this moment: ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s all taken care of.¡± Zhao Renzhou looked at Childe Yunmeng, who was almost turning into an ostrich, with a smirk that lifted even higher: ¡°Good¡­¡± It wasn¡¯t clear if he was speaking to Zhao Bao or Childe Yunmeng¡­ Zhao Renzhou then lowered his gaze to Chen Jinlong, who was barely conscious. With a couple of kicks, he elicited a few hoarse screams, but nothing significant happened. He looked nearly lifeless¡­ Zhao Renzhou clicked his tongue and instructed Zhao Bao: ¡°Take him away, get something for him.¡± ¡°Inject him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let him die too quickly¡­¡± ¡°Then bring him back.¡± ¡°Get some people to guard outside.¡± ¡°I¡¯m spending the night here today.¡± Revive him and bring him back? Zhao Bao was somewhat puzzled. But he nodded continuously: ¡°Understood.¡±He waved outside. Two people came in. They dragged Chen Jinlong away. Zhao Bao followed them out. Arranging for guards. When the sounds of people disappeared, Childe Yunmeng, who had been crouched behind the sofa, finally dared to raise her head. But as soon as she looked up, She saw Zhao Renzhou crouched in front of her, though she didn¡¯t know when he got there. She was so frightened that she recoiled. Before she could react, Zhao Renzhou reached out and grabbed the collar of her qipao. ¡°Sister-in-law¡­¡± ¡°Do you know what you¡¯ve done¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ve really pissed me off right now¡­¡± Childe Yunmeng was suspended in mid-air, her whole body tilting backward as Zhao Renzhou held her by the collar. And before Childe Yunmeng could respond, Zhao Renzhou gave a hard tug¡­ The row of diagonal buttons on the qipao all snapped open. Her ample assets burst forth. Childe Yunmeng¡¯s eyes flickered with a mixture of embarrassment, anger, and pleading¡­ ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do this here¡­¡± Outside were the henchmen bustling about, And the wall and door with a gaping hole from the collision. A faint cool breeze carried the drizzle, making Childe Yunmeng shiver slightly. But her pleas.had no effect whatsoever. Zhao Renzhou flung Childe Yunmeng onto the sofa. A sleepless night¡­ Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Childe Yunmeng: Beast¡­ A damn beast¡­ He doesn¡¯t even treat his sister-in-law like a human!In the early morning, After a night of rain, The smoke in the entire town of Jiawei gradually dissipated. After a night of firefights, The henchmen of the former organization leader, Chen Jinlong, Some dead, some captured, Had met their fate. Zhao Hu, with a fierce expression, also revealed a smile. Leading a large group of men, Commanding his underlings, Starting from today, Jiawei Town belonged to their big brother. Zhao Bao approached with his men: ¡°Brother.¡± Zhao Hu took a drag from his cigarette: ¡°How did it go with the big brother?¡± A twitch appeared at the corner of Zhao Bao¡¯s mouth: ¡°It should have been quite enjoyable.¡± ¡°All through the night.¡± He had been outside with his men, guarding all night. Although they were quite far away, That sound was unmistakable¡­ Zhao Hu widened his eyes: ¡°What the heck?!¡± ¡°All night?¡± ¡°That¡¯s bound to have exhausted that woman, Childe Yunmeng.¡± ¡°Big brother sure is ferocious.¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong had to endure it all night¡­¡± ¡°He might have been driven mad by now.¡± ¡°Hahaha.¡± The stuff they had sent to perk up Chen Jinlong the previous day, Zhao Hu had dispatched someone to deliver it. Zhao Bao also nodded with a strange expression. Indeed but big brother¡¯s tastes are a bit peculiar. Similar to Cao Cao¡­ In the villa estate, Around the perimeter of the courtyard, Patrol personnel walked in groups of three or four. In the center of the courtyard, The enormous villa, Now contained only three people. After emergency treatment and another injection the previous night, Chen Jinlong was in a highly agitated state. Even displaying some signs of madness. But with his knees and arms shattered, He could only writhe on the ground. His eyes, soaked in blood, Were fixated on the couple on the sofa¡­ As if sensing Chen Jinlong¡¯s gaze, Zhao Renzhou quickened his pace once more. Childe Yunmeng¡¯s defiant voice reached Chen Jinlong¡¯s ears, Further fueling his rage and madness. From his shattered jaw, he squeezed out beastly roars. ¡°Roar¡­¡± ¡°Roar¡­¡± He glared at Zhao Renzhou with intense hatred.But Zhao Renzhou merely smirked, His powerful hand pressing down on Childe Yunmeng¡¯s chin. He turned her face to look in Chen Jinlong¡¯s direction. After a night of torment, Childe Yunmeng had long given up resistance,But what Zhao Renzhou was doing now. Made her close her eyes in shame and anger. Beast damn beast. After a while, Zhao Renzhou slowly got up, Adjusted his posture, and sat down. One night had passed, s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. And his anger had mostly subsided. He pulled Childe Yunmeng, who seemed boneless, Into his arms. ¡°Do you want to live?¡± Childe Yunmeng, suppressing her exhaustion, Tried to open her eyes wide as she looked at Zhao Renzhou. Her voice, soft and melodic, replied, ¡°I want to¡­¡± Hearing her own voice, which sounded somewhat coquettish, Childe Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but blush. Her voice wasn¡¯t supposed to be like this. But there was nothing she could do. She had very little strength left even to speak¡­ She was truly exhausted. And with Zhao Renzhou¡¯s wandering hands¡­ She had become like this. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, Reached for a cigarette lying on the ground, and lit it. Taking a deep drag, he exhaled slowly: ¡°What¡¯s the deal with the Tazhai Group?¡± ¡°Why did Chen Jinlong react so strongly this time?¡± A hint of complexity flashed in Childe Yunmeng¡¯s eyes: ¡°If we can finalize the deal with the Tazhai Group this time,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll learn their latest refinement technology.¡± ¡°According to his plan, although the cost has increased a bit,¡± ¡°But the profits will at least multiply several times.¡± ¡°In less than two years,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll earn enough money to immigrate to the Free Republic¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou looked at the struggling Chen Jinlong and sneered: ¡°You¡¯ve got quite the plan.¡± ¡°Earn enough money and then want to run away.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t treat your brothers like people.¡± ¡°No wonder he wanted to kill me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve ruined his carefree life for the rest of his days.¡± ¡°What a shame.¡± Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t say the rest of it. What a shame he got transmigrated. Otherwise, his original self would already be dead. Childe Yunmeng, sitting beside him, rolled her eyes. ¡°He doesn¡¯t treat his brothers like people?¡± ¡°Do you treat your sister-in-law like a person?¡± ¡°Ugh!!¡± One night!! Childe Yunmeng was both infuriated and a bit embarrassed¡­ Zhao Renzhou produced a revolver from somewhere, Opened the cylinder, And loaded bullets one by one.. ¡°By the way,¡± ¡°What¡¯s the last name of the Tazhai Group¡¯s leader?¡± Childe Yunmeng looked puzzled: ¡°His last name is Lin.¡± ¡°Lin Yaodong.¡± ¡°Why do you ask?¡± This guy didn¡¯t bother to check the opponent¡¯s information before hijacking them. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly: ¡°No reason.¡± It really was interesting to him. The revolver in his hand was fully loaded. With a flick of his wrist, Zshh¡ª The bullet chamber spun. A quick shake of the hand that held the gun,Kach, and it was closed. Zhao Renzhou looked at Chen Jinlong. ¡°Big brother.¡± ¡°Have you ever heard of Russian roulette?¡± Chen Jinlong, writhing on the ground, screamed as if he had gone mad! ¡°Roar¡ª!!¡± ¡°Roar¡ª!!¡± ¡°Roar aaaaaa¡ª!!¡± His lower jaw shattered, rendering him unable to form a complete word. He could only vent his rage through furious screams¡­ Chen Jinlong¡¯s hatred reached its zenith, his eyes bloodshot like a demon! Load six bullets!! I¡¯m freaking gambling!! Zhao Renzhou!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! Chapter 6 Chapter 6: I Will Take Care of My Sister-in-law (Unmarried)! Big Brother, You Can Die Peacefully!Chen Jinlong wriggled on the ground. He continued to tremble, consumed by hatred. But Zhao Renzhou¡¯s amused smile grew wider. Bang¡ª!! The gunshot echoed. It startled Chi Yunmeng, who was huddled on the couch. Her body shivered involuntarily. White waves rippled¡­ But there was no one to appreciate them. Zhao Renzhou looked playfully at Chen Jinlong. The bullet struck Chen Jinlong¡¯s shattered knee. It punched through a gaping hole. Only a strip of flesh connected his knee to his shin. Chen Jinlong trembled in pain. His eyes rolled back. Twitching¡­ Bang¡ª Another shot hit his knee. Chen Jinlong twitched a few more times, stiff as a board. The rise and fall of his chest quickly subsided. It looked like he was on the verge of giving up. Zhao Renzhou kicked over a nearby suitcase. He pulled out several syringes. Inserted all of them into Chen Jinlong¡¯s body and forcefully pushed them in. Unknown liquid was injected into his body. Chen Jinlong¡¯s face turned crimson, his breathing rapid¡­ Zhao Renzhou chuckled and said: ¡°Big brother,¡± ¡°This is something you paid a high price for.¡± ¡°This is the end of the road.¡± ¡°You should enjoy it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be polite.¡± Chi Yunmeng curled up on the nearby couch. She didn¡¯t dare to move a muscle. Afraid that this lunatic would target her. After all, with that dosage¡­ Even if it didn¡¯t kill Chen Jinlong, he wouldn¡¯t live for more than half an hour¡­ Madman! After Zhao Renzhou finished the injections, He looked at Chen Jinlong, who had regained a bit of vitality, But clearly, his sanity had gone out the window¡­ His index finger extended to the trigger. Twisted the revolver two turns. Swept a glance at Chi Yunmeng, who was cowering. Feigning ignorance, like an ostrich. Zhao Renzhou revealed his sharp white teeth and smiled: ¡°Sister-in-law?¡± This ¡®sister-in-law¡¯ sounded like a call from a demon. It sent shivers down Chi Yunmeng¡¯s spine, and she opened her eyes with some fear. She looked at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s eerie smile. Inside Chi Yunmeng¡¯s heart, a scream echoed madly. ¡°Who the hell is your sister-in-law? I haven¡¯t married Chen Jinlong, so don¡¯t involve me in his murder!¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, Reached out and beckoned, ¡°Come here.¡± Chi Yunmeng was trembling with nervousness. She pretended to be gentle as she crawled over. Very slowly¡­ But Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t rush her. Instead, he savored the view by himself. Until she crawled over. Zhao Renzhou grabbed Chi Yunmeng. Placed her on his lap and leaned in close to her ear, saying, ¡°This revolver tends to shake a bit.¡± ¡°Do you mind helping out?¡± ¡°Can you?¡± His hot breath lingered around Chi Yunmeng¡¯s ear. Chi Yunmeng felt weak all over, blushing deeply. A wave of dizziness swept over her. What was happening¡­ She tried to move¡­ But she found¡­ She didn¡¯t even have the strength to speak¡­ This was something she hadn¡¯t even noticed herself¡­ A blind spot¡­ All she could do was open her mouth weakly. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly. What¡¯s wrong with this woman¡­ Seeing that Chi Yunmeng was in an odd state, Zhao Renzhou turned her over. Facing up. Chi Yunmeng was still in a dazed state with her mouth slightly open, as if trying to say something. Zhao Renzhou leaned in close to hear. Barely, he made out the word ¡®can¡¯¡­ Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow with a mischievous grin, ¡°Can?¡± ¡°You can?¡± ¡°Well then, I won¡¯t be polite.¡± Chi Yunmeng lay on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lap, facing up, completely unaware of what Zhao Renzhou had said. She simply allowed herself to be manipulated, feeling hazy and powerless. Meanwhile, Zhao Renzhou¡­ Took the hand holding the revolver. Pressed it against the mound¡­ Bang¡ª Bang¡ª Bang¡ª Bang¡ª Four gunshots rang out. Zhao Renzhou raised his right hand again. Causing another wave of sensations. And Zhao Renzhou nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Shock absorption¡­¡± ¡°Not bad, not bad¡­¡± At this moment, Chi Yunmeng, lying on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lap, realized what Zhao Renzhou meant by ¡®help¡¯ when the sparks from the revolver splattered on her chest. What a beast¡­ You beast! Was that a place to cushion the gun?! I¡¯ll cushion your damned shocks! You damn son of a bitch! Suddenly! Chi Yunmeng¡¯s body went limp. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s fingers. Caressed behind her ear, all the while smirking, S?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°So¡­¡± ¡°This is the blind spot here¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s body trembled. She couldn¡¯t speak, feeling powerless. Zhao Renzhou smiled, but didn¡¯t continue. He then got up, leisurely put on his clothes. He stretched his neck a bit. Grabbed the shotgun placed on the coffee table. Walked in front of Chen Jinlong and crouched down. The six shots just now. None of them hit vital points. But if it was just bleeding, Chen Jinlong wouldn¡¯t last much longer¡­ At this point, he could only move his eyes weakly. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s left hand Grabbed Chen Jinlong¡¯s throat, And lifted him to the same level as Zhao Renzhou, who was crouching. ¡°At this point, big brother,¡± ¡°It¡¯s time to send you on your way.¡± ¡°Hopefully, you¡¯ll have a better fate in your next life.¡± No matter what, he was still the original body¡¯s elder brother. Respect was still due. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s right hand, holding the shotgun barrel, Tap-tap-tapped Chen Jinlong¡¯s face. Accompanied by crisp sounds. In a cold tone, word by word, he offered his blessing: ¡°Lu!¡± ¡°Lou!¡± ¡°Ya!¡± ¡°Bo!¡± ¡°Hou!¡± ¡°Bo Su Gai!!¡± (With Bodhisattva¡¯s blessings, you¡¯ll be fine!) Then, Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly. He shoved the shotgun barrel Directly into Chen Jinlong¡¯s mouth. ¡°Big brother, rest in peace!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pray for my little brother¡¯s prosperity down below.¡± Bang¡ª!! The shotgun shell pierced the skull. Directly shattering the head. Chen Jinlong, whose neck was being squeezed, completely lost his breath. He didn¡¯t move at all¡­ Fragments of the shattered skull scattered in all directions. Blood and brain matter stained Zhao Renzhou¡¯s entire body. It also splattered onto the lifeless body of Chi Yunmeng, staining her snow-white skin¡­ With Chen Jinlong¡¯s death, Zhao Renzhou suddenly felt a sense of relief. His thoughts were clear. He chuckled lightly, stood up, Grabbed Chen Jinlong¡¯s corpse, And threw it outside the door. The lifeless body rolled a few times, Along the hole in the doorway, And rolled outside. Down the steps¡­ Zhao Renzhou picked up the walkie-talkie from the coffee table and pressed it. ¡°Get a few people.¡± ¡°Find a place.¡± ¡°Bury him!¡± ¡°Summon Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao.¡± ¡°Bring them all over¡­.¡± Zhao Renzhou lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, reflecting on the events of the past twenty-four hours¡­ Mistakes made in his past life. He absolutely couldn¡¯t repeat them in this life. The name ¡°Armament Space¡± spoke for itself¡­ Producing all kinds of weaponry, as long as there was enough funding. Nothing was a problem. But unfortunately, Just as the name implied, Armament Space¡­ It didn¡¯t make him invulnerable. Those damn dogs from the Free State had detonated the base, and he couldn¡¯t escape. In his past life, he didn¡¯t have enough funds to unlock those sci-fi equipment. He died before he could even react¡­ But now, he had a second chance. Being the puppeteer behind the scenes was the best choice. The Golden Triangle now, Was the best place to make a fortune¡­ What? Kunsha, Luoxinghan, Nokang, Naimi, Mindeng in chaotic struggle for supremacy? Ask them¡­ How many waves of missile strikes can they withstand¡­ He finished his cigarette. Dropped the butt on the ground and casually crushed it. Zhao Renzhou stood up and wrapped his arm around Chi Yunmeng¡¯s slender waist. ¡°Yah¡ª¡± Causing a chorus of gasps. Smack! He gave her a pat, And there were more surprised exclamations. Chi Yunmeng felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she was practically naked right now¡­ Afraid of being seen¡­ But fortunately, the staircase was right nearby. Blushing with indignation, Chi Yunmeng allowed Zhao Renzhou to carry her on his shoulder. They headed towards the second-floor room¡­ Chapter 7 Chapter 7: Chi Yunmeng, Bound to the Bed, Can¡¯t Move¡­In the second-floor bedroom, Within the spacious room, Zhao Renzhou looked at his handiwork with satisfaction. He leaned in and caressed behind Chi Yunmeng¡¯s ear, Causing the woman beneath him to shiver. Zhao Renzhou said with a smile, ¡°Have a good sleep.¡± ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± After saying that, he got up and walked out. Click¡ª The sound of the door closing echoed. Only then did Chi Yunmeng relax her entire body. She sighed in relief. Tried to adjust her position. Moved her body with great difficulty. Twisting like a caterpillar. But it was all in vain¡­ Because¡­ She was bound from head to toe. From her neck to her feet¡­ ¡°You bastard¡­¡± ¡°You bastard¡­¡± After a few attempts, Chi Yunmeng gave up. She lay weakly on the bed. Tied too tightly. Even her feet were bound to the bed frame. She couldn¡¯t move at all. She couldn¡¯t even move her head to the pillow¡­ Chi Yunmeng cursed Zhao Renzhou in her heart countless times¡­ But she had no choice but to accept reality. Bound all over her body. She drifted off with difficulty¡­ In the first-floor living room, Zhao Renzhou slowly descended the stairs. Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao, the two brothers, were waiting below. When they saw Zhao Renzhou, Zhao Hu couldn¡¯t help but get excited. ¡°Big brother.¡± When Zhao Renzhou called yesterday, he was really surprised. Then they fought through the night. It had only just come to a halt. Seeing Zhao Renzhou now, Zhao Hu finally felt some relief. It was as if they had found their leader. Zhao Renzhou came down and patted their shoulders with a smile, gesturing for them to sit down. Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and a few trusted individuals were there. These were all people Zhao Renzhou had chosen from his hometown in Longguo after he made it big. It¡¯s not that they had family connections, but there was some relationship there. So Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t put on airs. He sat with the two of them on the couch. Zhao Renzhou lit a cigarette and said, ¡°Huh¡­¡± ¡°How¡¯s the situation?¡± ¡°Have they all been captured?¡± ¡°How many of our brothers are injured?¡± He was referring to Chen Jinlong¡¯s subordinates. The incident of Chen Jinlong trying to betray and kill Zhao Renzhou was kept secret from his own men. After all, it was a disgraceful matter. Only a few trusted individuals knew about it. But they didn¡¯t expect Zhao Renzhou to turn the tables and eliminate Chen Jinlong¡¯s subordinates who were unprepared. After a night of battle, The victors were now sitting in Chen Jinlong¡¯s villa, Smoking¡­ Zhao Hu spoke, ¡°There are quite a few injuries.¡± ¡°Some died.¡± ¡°But most of them were the Monkeys from northern Burma.¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong¡¯s people,¡± ¡°We¡¯ve captured all of them.¡± ¡°No one got away.¡± ¡°Their guns have been confiscated and they¡¯re locked up.¡± ¡°We caught them off guard yesterday.¡± ¡°Now the whole organization,¡± ¡°All of them belong to us.¡± ¡°The few trusted aides who usually helped Chen Jinlong and managed the business,¡± ¡°I¡¯ve brought them here.¡± ¡°They¡¯re being held outside.¡± ¡°Do you want to meet them?¡± As Zhao Hu spoke, he moved his index finger on his knee. Zhao Renzhou nodded as he listened to Zhao Hu¡¯s account. When Zhao Hu finished, Zhao Renzhou said, ¡°For those who died or were injured, we can¡¯t skimp on the money.¡± ¡°Ah Bao, you go handle this.¡± Sitting beside Zhao Renzhou, Zhao Bao, who had been silent, nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhao Renzhou flicked the cigarette in his hand. It arced perfectly and flew out¡­ He grabbed the shotgun from the sofa. Smiling, he got up and walked towards the door. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Take a look outside.¡± Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao quickly got up and followed Zhao Renzhou outside. In the villa¡¯s courtyard. A row of Burmese subordinates, who appeared somewhat thin and were clearly different from the appearance of Longguo natives, were guarding several of Chen Jinlong¡¯s men who were kneeling on the ground. They stood there, just like Zhao Renzhou and his men, all brought from their respective hometowns. However, unfortunately, Chen Jinlong was dead¡­ If Zhao Renzhou had been ambushed and killed last night, then the ones kneeling here now would be Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, and their men¡­ Regarding this, Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao naturally had no camaraderie with their former comrades. They looked at the blood-soaked ground, and it was clear that some legs had been broken. These men were forced to kneel¡­ Zhao Renzhou looked at the hateful glares from these men and smiled indifferently. He loaded his shotgun with a click-click sound, slowly aiming it at them. He moved it left and right in front of their heads, as if considering who to kill. As the gun barrel moved, their hateful glares gradually crumbled¡­ The hateful glares turned into fear and pleading, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, like sieves. Some of them broke down, trying to say something but unable to because their mouths were stuffed with something. Their throats made frantic ¡°wuwu¡± sounds, unable to speak. They didn¡¯t know what secrets of Chen Jinlong they should reveal in exchange for a chance to live. Zhao Hu frowned as he watched these men. ¡°Damn¡­¡± ¡°These sons of bitches.¡± ¡°Yesterday, even with broken legs, they didn¡¯t say anything.¡± ¡°Now that they see you, big brother,¡± ¡°They¡¯re quite excited.¡± Zhao Renzhou was less than five meters away from this group of people but held the shotgun, aiming it left and right. He casually said, ¡°Because they know,¡± ¡°I don¡¯t intend to let them live¡­¡± ¡°So, whatever business, ledgers, or secrets they hold¡­¡± ¡°Will all disappear with a gunshot¡­¡± After Zhao Renzhou finished speaking, he slowly lowered the shotgun. He aimed the shotgun at one of Chen Jinlong¡¯s men and pulled the trigger: *Bang!* The man who was kneeling on the ground convulsed a couple of times, then went limp and motionless. His grimace of agony gradually relaxed as he reached the end of his life. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t give him the chance. Zhao Renzhou chuckled softly, his tone casual and playful. He loaded the shotgun again with a click-click sound. As one person died, the remaining ones became even more terrified and shattered. Seeing Zhao Renzhou reload the shotgun again, no one could resist the fear of death. They endured the intense pain of their broken legs, struggling desperately to break free. But¡­ *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* Only headless corpses were left behind, their skulls shattered all over the ground. ¡°And those Burmese underlings, with even more fearful looks. As the last person died. The shotgun¡¯s bullets were exhausted. Zhao Renzhou casually threw the gun to Zhao Hu: ¡°It¡¯s yours.¡± Zhao Hu happily received it: ¡°Thanks, boss!¡± Lovingly caressing the new gun. Zhao Renzhou smiled. For this place in northern Burma, the most attractive things are either women or weapons. This shotgun was taken from the arms cache. Its freshness belongs to the brand new category. It¡¯s a unique item in the entire Golden Triangle. Who wouldn¡¯t like it¡­ Zhao Renzhou seemed to think of something: ¡°Are those people in Tazhai all locked up?¡± In his memory. When they intercepted the goods before. They also took people along with them. Later, it was handed over to Zhao Bao. On Zhao Bao¡¯s side, he said: ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all locked up in the water dungeon.¡± ¡°Bring them over?¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded: ¡°Tell them to bring everyone over.¡± ¡°Kill one of them.¡± Previously, he had taken both the goods and the money. Now, Chen Jinlong was dead again. And he had no intention of cooperating with the Tazhai Group. s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. So, what were those people still doing here? He couldn¡¯t just let them go. This wasn¡¯t a charity organization he was running¡­.¡± Chapter 8 Chapter 8: The Fire at Tazhai and Lin Shengwu, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s One Hundred AKsJiawei Town. The water dungeon. When they initially intercepted the goods. The people from Tazhai. Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t actually kill them. Instead, he rounded them all up. Just to see if they might be useful in the future. But with Chen Jinlong¡¯s death, Everything had settled. They were no longer of any use. After all, what Zhao Renzhou possessed. Was the arms space¡­ Not the sugar space¡­ Inside the water dungeon, Dead rats and the corpses of unknown bugs. Floated densely together. Emitting a foul stench. There was also a considerable amount of vomit. Making it even more repulsive¡­ Lin Shengwu, with his blond hair stained, Was running a high fever, trembling all over. Gone was the arrogance and dominance he had in his home country. He was already somewhat delirious. Shaking violently. This was the future. Due to foolishness and arrogance, the reckless youth who triggered the downfall of the Tazhai Group, Lin Shengwu, was now tightly holding onto Lin Shengwen. ¡°Brother¡­ Brother¡­¡± ¡°Can we¡­ can we¡­¡± ¡°Survive and go back?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m cold¡­¡± In this kind of environment, they had been locked up for quite some time. Even those with good health wouldn¡¯t endure it, let alone Lin Shengwen, who was already young and physically weak. Seeing Lin Shengwen¡¯s condition, Lin Shengwu felt a deep heartache and comforted him, ¡°It¡¯s alright, Awen.¡± ¡°Hold on.¡± Uncle Dong will definitely rescue us out.¡± ¡°He will, for sure¡­¡± But despair couldn¡¯t help but well up in his heart. Their people had all been intercepted. Clearly, they weren¡¯t afraid of Uncle Dong. Their influence from Tazhai didn¡¯t extend to northern Burma. Relying on Uncle Dong was a slim hope. But there was no other way. He could only console his younger brother like this¡­ They didn¡¯t know how much time had passed. From above the water dungeon came a voice: ¡°Bring up those Tazhai people.¡± ¡°Take them away.¡± Lin Shengwu, still in a daze, was just about to open his eyes when his head received a heavy blow, causing him to pass out again. When Lin Shengwu woke up again, he was drenched in water¡­ Wanting to move his body, he realized he was tightly bound with his limbs spread out on a vehicle. There were several bodies around him. The strong smell of gasoline assaulted his nostrils. It had been splashed on him¡­ And on the nearby bodies¡­ It was gasoline! Lin Shengwu¡¯s eyes widened. He struggled violently, thinking of a certain possibility. Fear filled his heart! But his mouth was gagged, so he could only emit roars resembling that of a wild beast through the air. ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Awake?¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice sounded somewhat playful. Upon hearing someone speak¡­ Lin Shengwu seemed to grasp at a lifeline and desperately sought the source of the voice. A shadow fell over him, interrupting his frantic struggles. Zhao Renzhou walked up to Lin Shengwu, chuckling as he crouched down in front of him. ¡°You just had to wake up, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this like living through hell?¡± ¡°When we set it on fire later¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t scream in pain, okay?¡± Zhao Renzhou put on a pitiable look, patted Lin Shengwu¡¯s shoulder, and then stood up. Lin Shengwu stared at him with wide eyes, seething with anger inside. Damn it! To hell with living through hell! What if I try to burn you? Damn it! But all he could manage were ferocious glares and animal-like roars. Seeing Zhao Renzhou stand up, Lin Shengwu¡¯s sense of despair grew stronger. Dammit! Not even allowed to say my last words? Lin Shengwu¡¯s struggles became more intense. His bound body suddenly lunged forward, needing to catch Zhao Renzhou¡¯s attention. As long as he could say a few words. No matter the price. As long as they could release him. Uncle Dong¡¯s side would definitely come to their rescue¡­ But this damn guy had no sense of decency. He didn¡¯t even allow him to speak. Lin Shengwu, in despair, wriggled his body, trying to catch up to Zhao Renzhou. But it was all in vain. He couldn¡¯t catch up at all¡­ Meanwhile, on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s side, after walking a distance, he waved his hand, and one of his men came running over. Zhao Renzhou looked at the battered jeep, piled with bodies and a few people from Tazhai. ¡°Bring me the gun.¡± The henchman handed over the gun. Zhao Renzhou took it, couldn¡¯t help but furrow his brows as he looked at the decaying wooden handle on the gun. He chambered a round to test it. This gun¡­ he recognized it. Type 77 from Zhejiang, a type of rifle widely used during the resistance war¡­ But the problem was¡­ it had been so many damn years. It was practically an antique. This thing¡­ Li Guohui must have brought it with him when he fled to the Golden Triangle, right? His henchmen all have this kind of stuff¡­ No wonder Zhao Hu looked so pathetic when he found the new gun¡­ Zhao Renzhou took aim for a moment. S?a?ch* Th? Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Bang! A shot was fired. The next second¡­ Boom! The bullet collided with the metal of the jeep, instantly igniting the gasoline. Boom! A towering flame erupted, devouring the bodies of those who had been shot and the unconscious members of the Tazhai Group. A wave of heat swept over, causing even Zhao Renzhou, who was standing at a safe distance, to squint his eyes. He watched as figures awoke and writhed in the flames. Zhao Renzhou handed the gun back to his henchman. ¡°Go tell Zhao Bao,¡± ¡°Count the finances and get three pounds of gold.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s not enough gold, exchange it in town.¡± ¡°Come with me to pick up the goods tonight.¡± Of course, picking up the goods was just a pretense. He could directly create items using his spatial abilities. The main purpose was to provide a reasonable excuse. After all, he couldn¡¯t just have those things appear out of thin air. Another thing is¡­ If his henchmen are all using these antique relics, Zhao Renzhou can¡¯t sleep soundly at night. At the very least, using the spatial abilities¡­ He should first acquire a hundred AKs¡­ And arm them¡­ Chapter 9 Chapter 9: The Forgotten Chi Yun Dream and the Black Lace NightgownAfter giving orders to his subordinates, Zhao Renzhou found himself with nothing to do. He suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he had forgotten something. What could it be? After a moment, he slapped his forehead. ¡°Darn it?! I forgot,¡± he exclaimed. ¡°I forgot about that woman.¡± He headed towards Chen Jinlong¡¯s villa, realizing he had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about Chi Yun Dream. she was still tied up in bed hopefully, she was alright. Meanwhile, inside the villa, Chi Yun Dream was tied to the bed, her face pale, trembling all over. She was starving, her stomach in spasms, and cold sweat covered her body. Chi Yun Dream: ? Chi Yun Dream: Zhao Renzhou! I hate you! When Zhao Renzhou returned to the room, this was the scene he walked into.Chi Yun Dream, tightly bound in a hogtie position, furrowed her brows. She kept her eyes shut as sweat soaked the pristine white bedsheets, forming the shape of a large figure. Chi Yun Dream¡¯s wrists were chafed, and blood stained the sheets. Hearing the door open, Chi Yun Dream weakly opened her eyes. Zhao Renzhou clicked his tongue and said, ¡°Did I disturb you?¡± ¡°Huh? Brother-in-law,¡± Chi Yun Dream replied, seeing Zhao Renzhou walk in, still making sarcastic remarks. Her stomach twisted with anger, and she bit down on her silver teeth, cursing intermittently, ¡°You¡­damn you¡­Zhao Renzhou¡­.¡± Then, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. After battling all night and being tied up and hungry for half a day, Chi Yun Dream, who was already suffering from stomach spasms due to hunger, finally passed out upon seeing Zhao Renzhou appear. As night fell within the villa¡­ On the second-floor bed, Chi Yun Dream gradually regained consciousness. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes. What met her gaze was the familiar ceiling. Chi Yun Dream froze for a moment. This guy wouldn¡¯t just leave me here and forget about me, would he? She tried to sit up, and to her surprise, she could move. She looked down and realized she had clothes on, but they were empty inside. And this outfit? S?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. She couldn¡¯t help but grit her teeth as she looked at the black lace nightgown that barely reached her thighs. Where did Zhao Renzhou get this thing? It was even worse than not wearing anything at all! Chi Yun Dream propped herself up and noticed some porridge and food on the bedside table. She took a few bites and then tried to get up and see what was going on. However, when she reached the door and twisted the handle, she couldn¡¯t seem to open it, no matter how hard she tried. The more Chi Yun Dream twisted the doorknob, the angrier she became. She kicked the door with all her might, but it had no effect. ¡°Damn it¡­¡± she muttered in frustration. Her temples throbbed with anger, but she felt helpless. All she could do was wait for Zhao Renzhou to ¡°summon¡± her, whenever that might be. Kesin State, located in the northernmost part of Myanmar, consisted of eighteen towns and over six hundred villages. Among them, the town of Gawei, where Zhao Renzhou was located, was situated at the northernmost border of Kesin State. It lay at the intersection of Myanmar, the Dragon Nation, and India. Kesin State was part of the Golden Triangle, but it wasn¡¯t in the core area. The true heart of the Golden Triangle lay deep within the Shan State, adjacent to Kesin State and at the border of both countries. Due to Gawei Town¡¯s proximity to the Dragon Nation and the border, it was the ideal location for smuggling raw materials into the Dragon Nation. It was precisely because of this that the Tazhai Group of the Dragon Nation chose to collaborate with Chen Jinlong in this region. Chen Jinlong provided the raw materials, while they received technology in return ¨C a win-win partnership. However, it had been disrupted by Zhao Renzhou, and he had no intention of continuing such business. On a pitch-black night, on a decrepit and worn-out road, Zhao Renzhou led a convoy. They were a few miles away from the border when Zhao Renzhou, relying on his memory, located an abandoned and dilapidated building. He signaled the convoy to stop. Zhao Renzhou got out of the vehicle, carrying a golden suitcase in his hand, with Zhao Bao following closely behind. After getting out of the car, Zhao Renzhou, under the moonlight, looked around. He said to Zhao Bao, ¡°Have your men wait here. I¡¯ll call you over when it¡¯s time.¡± Zhao Bao hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Is this¡­¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Zhao Renzhou interrupted, smiling. He patted Zhao Bao¡¯s shoulder and, carrying the suitcase, walked into the night. He found the abandoned building and used the spatial decomposition of his military space to open the suitcase. Unlocking a variety of firearms and weapons, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s military space began to activate. The recently absorbed golden energy was depleted, but several large crates appeared inside the building in an instant. Inside these crates were a hundred brand new AKM automatic rifles, along with thirty thousand rounds of ammunition, ten RPG-7 rocket launchers, sixty anti-armor high-explosive rounds, four flamethrowers, and one.50 caliber Desert Eagle. Zhao Renzhou shook the Desert Eagle in his hand. This weapon had considerable power and weight, not suitable for combat personnel but rather perfect for his use. The .50 caliber could supposedly take down an adult moose with a single shot within two hundred meters, although Zhao Renzhou had never personally tested this. In his past life, however, he had used it to eliminate quite a few people. After playing with it for a moment, he loaded the Desert Eagle, flicked off the safety, and holstered it at his waist. Then, he took out his walkie-talkie and said, ¡°Ah Bao.¡± ¡°Bring the team and the vehicles over.¡± With the guns in hand, it was time for some action. Chapter 10 Chapter 10: Chi Yun Dream ¨C I Will Not Admit It! Absolutely Not!Looking at the pile of weapons, Zhao Renzhou contemplated who he should target. He was not the passive type. In this northern region of Myanmar, you needed a valid reason for everything. Now that someone had guns, staying hidden here wouldn¡¯t be convincing anymore. As mentioned before, the Golden Triangle was currently a chaotic battleground with various factions like Kunsha, Luoxinghan, Nuo Kang, Nai Mi, and Mindeng all vying for dominance. Mindeng was the one in control of Kesin State, on the same side as Zhao Renzhou. Yes, it was the same Mindeng who had met his end at the hands of Cold Front in ¡°Wolf Warrior.¡± At this point in time, among these players in the Golden Triangle, Mindeng was one of the newcomers who had risen in recent years. His sphere of influence wasn¡¯t as strong as the veterans¡¯. Out of the eighteen towns in Kesin State, he had captured eleven. The remaining seven towns were situated near the border between Dragon Nation and India, and their crop production was not as abundant as in other areas. In addition to the ongoing conflicts between government forces and local armed groups, the major powers found it more trouble than it was worth to occupy the region. Thus, it fell into the hands of scattered factions. Chen Jinlong and Zhao Renzhou were part of one such faction. Chen Jinlong¡¯s initial idea was to rely on the Tazhai Group for advanced refining technology through a mutually beneficial arrangement. With that, they aimed to surpass the other factions in the Golden Triangle and eventually dominate Kesin State. Their plan wasn¡¯t too far-fetched, considering their faction was already quite formidable. However, the equipment they used included some relics from decades ago, like the Zhejiang Type 77 rifles from the days of the Anti-Japanese War. This gave an idea of the quality of arms used by the nearby factions. Given that Mindeng had risen to power only in recent years and had the shallowest roots among the various factions, Chen Jinlong¡¯s ambition wasn¡¯t entirely surprising. Now, with Zhao Renzhou taking over, the situation had changed. As the headlights of the cars approached, Zhao Bao, who had been waiting outside, received the message and immediately led the convoy in the direction Zhao Renzhou had come from. In less than two minutes, they spotted the abandoned building with an open door. Zhao Bao stopped the convoy and led his men towards it, shining flashlights ahead. As they entered the building, they were immediately awestruck. The flashlight beams illuminated the brand new AKM automatic rifles, gleaming black, and the golden bullets that exuded a tempting sheen. And there were those RPG-7 rocket launchers with their ten barrels and the entire crate of shells. It left all of Zhao Renzhou¡¯s men in sheer amazement. Even the reserved and quiet Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard when he entered the room. He approached the crate of AKM automatic rifles and couldn¡¯t contain his excitement as he asked, ¡°Big Brother, are all these ours?¡± His eyes sparkled as he looked at Zhao Renzhou. With these weapons at their disposal, they would truly become kings of the land. No longer would they need to be cautious when dealing with government forces and local militias. Zhao Renzhou nodded with a smile and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Tell the brothers to load up the vehicles. We¡¯ll pick a faction later and sharpen our skills. Let¡¯s gather some more gold. This stuff will only increase. Kesin State will be ours sooner or later.¡± While Zhao Renzhou spoke with ease, Zhao Bao was excited and ready to act. ¡°Yes, Big Brother!¡± he exclaimed. ¡°People, get these weapons out of here!¡± Zhao Bao instructed his men to carry the weapons and equipment, while he personally took a brand new AKM and lovingly caressed it. As for his old rifle, it was no longer worth keeping in his eyes ¨C it was trash! He discarded it without a second thought. On the way back, everyone had joyful expressions on their faces. The convoy sped along the road. Sitting in the middle of a Jeep, Zhao Renzhou turned to Zhao Bao and asked, ¡°Do you know which factions the Tazhai Group has cooperation with, aside from us?¡± Factions like Mindeng, which had already established their dominance, had stable sources of supplies and were unlikely to collaborate with Tazhai. They might even be rivals. Only the scattered factions in the seven border towns, lacking in technology and operating inefficiently but excelling in raw material output, would be ideal partners for Tazhai. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chen Jinlong was also unaware of what promises he had made to Tazhai. It was quite bizarre that Tazhai had agreed to provide refining technology. Zhao Bao furrowed his brow and responded, ¡°I¡¯m not entirely sure, but we do know that neighboring towns like Naiga and Yebi have some dealings with Tazhai.¡± Zhao Bao then remembered something and added, ¡°By the way, Chi Yun Dream should know about this.¡± As Zhao Renzhou listened, he nodded in agreement. However, when Zhao Bao mentioned Chi Yun Dream, Zhao Renzhou froze for a moment. ¡°Darn it¡­ did I forget about that woman again?¡± he muttered to himself, checking the time. It was already 10:30. He had left her around 8:00. He wondered if leaving a bowl of porridge would be enough to keep her from starving to death. In a certain villa, Chi Yun Dream¡¯s empty porridge bowl stared back at her, and she could only shake her head in disbelief. She absolutely refused to admit it¡­ Here is the translation of the text you provided: ¡°She even licked the bowl several times. Absolutely! Not! Going to! Zhao Renzhou! I * Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Inside the jeep. Zhao Renzhou smacked his lips and said: ¡°We¡¯ll go to the villa later.¡± Zhao Bao furrowed his eyebrows: ¡°Big brother¡­.¡± He hesitated to speak¡­ He didn¡¯t know how to broach the subject. Zhao Renzhou said: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Bao gritted his teeth and said: ¡°Big brother¡­ You need to control yourself¡­ It¡¯s not too late to ask tomorrow¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou supported his forehead: ¡°Get lost?!¡± ¡°Do you think my head is full of that stuff?!¡± ¡°I even forgot about that woman¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s still locked up now¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let her starve to death¡­¡± Chapter 11 Chapter 11: Chi Yunmeng ¨C My Sister? Are You Kidding Me?!When Zhao Renzhou returned to the villa, It was already past eleven o¡¯clock. He gave some instructions to Zhao Bao, Telling him to distribute the equipment with Zhao Hu, And to do some training. In a few days, there would be a tough battle to fight. Afterward, he went to the second floor of the villa. Ignoring the greetings of the servants, He walked straight to the second floor. He unlocked the locked room. What met his eyes was a figure in a black lace nightgown. Chi Yunmeng, whose nightgown barely reached her thighs, Lying sprawled on the bed in a spread-eagle position. When she heard a noise, Her head moved slightly. She looked towards the door and glanced at Zhao Renzhou. Then she adjusted herself again¡­ Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow. What is this¡­ She¡¯s gone mad?! Just as Zhao Renzhou was thinking this, Chi Yunmeng on the other side seemed to realize something. This damn guy isn¡¯t an illusion! She suddenly sat up abruptly. She stared at Zhao Renzhou with intense focus, Then lunged at him with long strides¡­ If it weren¡¯t for her clearly aggressive posture, From behind, it would almost look like an embrace. ¡°Zhao Renzhou!¡± ¡°You, bastard!¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lips curled up slightly. He bent down slightly and immediately wrapped his arms around Chi Yunmeng¡¯s slender waist as she charged. He effortlessly hoisted her onto his shoulder, Completely ignoring Chi Yunmeng¡¯s attempts to hit him. He simply tossed her onto the bed. Chi Yunmeng landed with a dazed expression. ¡°It seems like you¡¯re okay?¡± ¡°You still have the strength to move.¡± After this toss, Chi Yunmeng felt completely deflated. She tried to muster the energy to get up, attempting to stand. She managed to get halfway up, But then she gave up the struggle and lay on the bed weakly. She allowed Zhao Renzhou¡¯s large hands to knead her. Weakly, she said: ¡°I¡¯m hungry..¡± ¡°Get me something to eat..¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled: ¡°The kitchen is preparing something for you.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°You can eat something else first..¡± Chi Yunmeng widened her eyes: ¡°You¡­!!¡± She watched helplessly as Zhao Renzhou¡¯s large hand grabbed her collar and pulled her up, then pushed her down. In the second-floor room, Chi Yunmeng¡¯s nightgown was a bit disheveled, But in front of the food, She paid no attention to her appearance. She devoured it hungrily. This hard-earned meal, This was the fruit of her labor. Beside her, Zhao Renzhou sat on the bed, Lit a cigar, and took a puff: ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°It seems like you don¡¯t hate me, do you?¡± ¡°After all, I killed your husband, right?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you have that kind of¡­¡± ¡°You know?¡± ¡°Death-defying spirit?¡± ¡°The feeling of avenging your husband?¡± This plot doesn¡¯t seem right.while Chi Yunmeng was wolfing down her food. She rolled her eyes without lifting her head, Said in an annoyed tone: ¡°You¡¯ve watched too many movies.¡± ¡°What kind of relationship do I have with him?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t even have a child together.¡± ¡°Do you expect me to mourn for him?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t lived enough yet.¡± ¡°Being loyal to the dead, what a joke.¡± Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t help but nod. That made sense¡­ Who wants to die when they¡¯re still alive¡­ Those under Chen Jinlong, who suffered broken bones and kept quiet, Weren¡¯t they hoping for a chance to trade their secrets for their lives? Unfortunately, they didn¡¯t get the chance. When they saw him with a gun.It was too late to speak up. Zhao Renzhou smiled: ¡°You certainly have flexible moral boundaries.¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°By the way.¡± ¡°What conditions did Chen Jinlong use in the end?¡± ¡°To exchange for the refining technology of Tazhai.¡± ¡°And those forces around here.¡± ¡°Do you know which ones are cooperating with the Tazhai Group?¡± Chi Yunmeng ate while speaking. Her voice was somewhat unclear: ¡°Chen Jinlong signed an agreement with the Tazhai Group.¡± ¡°The price of raw materials, compared to several other towns nearby,¡± ¡°It¡¯s two levels lower, and they¡¯ll supply Tazhai for ten years.¡± ¡°Tazhai provides the latest refining technology.¡± ¡°Although they say it¡¯s the latest,¡± ¡°It¡¯s probably technology from Dragon Country over ten years ago.¡± ¡°But for this region,¡± ¡°It¡¯s already much more advanced.¡± ¡°I helped Chen Jinlong calculate, even though the supply price is lower by twenty percent,¡± ¡°But the new refining technology produces higher-priced rock candy.¡± ¡°So, you can still make a good profit on the original basis.¡± ¡°So when you disrupted this deal,¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong decided not to tolerate you anymore.¡± ¡°He wants to get rid of you¡­.¡± ¡°To try to restore his cooperation with Tazhai¡­.¡± After hearing Chi Yunmeng¡¯s words, Zhao Renzhou took a deep puff of his cigar. Exhaling a cloud of white smoke, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh: ¡°These beasts¡­.¡± ¡°For money¡­.¡± ¡°They¡¯d even sell out their sworn brothers¡­.¡± Listening to Chi Yunmeng, S?a??h the N?v?lFir?(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. She couldn¡¯t help but raise her head and look at this shameless scoundrel. You * even to your sister-in-law¡­. And in front of your big brother too¡­. ¡°You dare to call others beasts?!¡± Chi Yunmeng was so furious that she felt suffocated. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Shifting her focus, she continued: ¡°Among the seven towns at the border,¡± ¡°Except for the two near Mindeng,¡± ¡°They all have cooperation with Tazhai.¡± ¡°Now that you¡¯ve offended the Tazhai Group,¡± ¡°If they want revenge,¡± ¡°They¡¯ll definitely seek the help of the forces in these towns.¡± ¡°Be prepared.¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded: ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that.¡± ¡°We¡¯re already prepared.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll take the initiative.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like being passive.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°You can stay here from now on.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t leave.¡± ¡°Who knows when I might come¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou got up, straightened his clothes, And prepared to leave. Chi Yunmeng paused in her eating and couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?!¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong at least gave me some authority¡­¡± ¡°What do you think of me?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯m just a canary?¡± ¡°And you can come whenever you want¡­¡± ¡°I¡­¡±Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but grit her teeth. She looked at Zhao Renzhou with indignant eyes. Zhao Renzhou was somewhat surprised: ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°What else do you want?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± ¡°Is it lonely living in this villa by yourself¡­¡± ¡°In that case¡­¡± ¡°Sister-in-law.¡± ¡°I remember you had a younger sister in Dragon Country¡­¡± ¡°She started college last year, right?¡± ¡°How about¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s temples throbbed with anger. She couldn¡¯t stand this shameless scoundrel any longer! ¡°Get out!¡± She shouted. She stood up, Picked up the utensils from the table, And threw them at him without caring about his raised hands, Exposing a generous amount of skin under her black lace nightgown¡­. Chi Yunmeng clenched her teeth. Is this what he means? He¡¯s even thinking about my sister?! He wants sisters?! Are you even human?! Chapter 12 Chapter 12: Tazhai Meeting, Saving Ashes?After throwing the utensils, Chi Yunmeng still couldn¡¯t vent her anger. She picked up a pillow and threw it, But it only hit the closed bedroom door. ¡°You bastard¡­¡± On the other side, In Dragon Country, Tazhai Village. It was nearing midnight, But inside the Tazhai Village ancestral hall, The lights were on. The spacious hall appeared somewhat empty, With only two rows of high-backed chairs, Arranged in the center of the hall. Each high-backed chair was occupied by representatives from various factions in Tazhai, All dressed in black, In keeping with the solemn atmosphere of the hall. Lin Yaodong sat in the central seat, resembling a scholar. With his golden-rimmed glasses and a calm voice, he began: ¡°Now that all the representatives are here.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s discuss this matter.¡± ¡°Trouble has arisen in northern Myanmar.¡± ¡°The raw materials and money,¡± ¡°Have all disappeared.¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong claims it was done by his subordinates.¡± ¡°He owes us an explanation.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s been two days now.¡± ¡°And we can¡¯t reach Chen Jinlong either.¡± ¡°This month doesn¡¯t look promising¡­¡± Lin Yaodong was also helpless. If Chen Jinlong had resolved the issue, it would have been fine. But now that they couldn¡¯t reach him, Continuing to conceal it would delay this month¡¯s rock candy production. Because of Chen Jinlong¡¯s promise, Most of the raw materials for this month¡¯s production came from him. But now they had neither money nor supplies. With the village¡¯s raw materials running out, They had no choice but to reveal the situation. As Lin Yaodong finished speaking, The leaders of the various factions in the hall Exploded in discussion. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong has taken our goods and money?!¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be, right?¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t we supposed to have a partnership?¡± ¡°Why the sudden change?!¡± The faces of the people turned pale, and they cursed in frustration. In the third room, Lin Yaohui¡¯s expression changed dramatically as he questioned Lin Yaodong: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell us earlier?!¡± ¡°What about Shengwen and Shengwu?!¡± ¡°Do we have any news?!¡± The third room had limited personnel to begin with. Lin Shengwen was young, which could be forgiven, But Lin Shengwu was a rare talent. He had a strong sense of loyalty and integrity and didn¡¯t procrastinate in his work. But unexpectedly, this time during transportation, Lin Shengwu got caught up in it¡­. Lin Yaodong furrowed his brow: ¡°There¡¯s still no news for now.¡± ¡°But when Chen Jinlong contacted me two days ago,¡± ¡°I asked him.¡± ¡°Shengwen and Shengwu were taken by Chen Jinlong¡¯s sworn brother, Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°They were detained.¡± ¡°The one who intercepted our shipment this time was Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°Now the only uncertainty is how things are going on Chen Jinlong¡¯s side.¡± ¡°He said he was going to deal with Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s been no news for two days now¡­¡± ¡°Perhaps¡­¡± If it were true. In that case, their chances of survival were slim¡­ Lin Yaohui¡¯s expression changed unpredictably: ¡°Don¡¯t we still have a few alternative smuggling channels in northern Myanmar?¡± ¡°Quickly contact them?!¡± ¡°We must ensure Shengwen and Shengwu¡¯s safety?!¡± Compared to money, Lin Yaohui valued people more. This was different from the other factions and families in Tazhai Village. S?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Lin Yaodong nodded: ¡°Don¡¯t worry for now.¡± ¡°We¡¯re already working on this matter.¡± ¡°The most important thing right now is for the leaders of each faction and family.¡± ¡°To settle their people.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t spread any rumors or gossip.¡± ¡°That could unsettle people and disrupt our plans.¡± ¡°The difficulties are temporary.¡± ¡°Do you understand?¡± Lin Yaodong¡¯s indifferent gaze, Swept over the leaders of each faction and family. The purpose of this meeting was to warn these people not to cause trouble. Lin Yaodong knew all too well the tricks these people could play¡­ Everyone who was scrutinized lowered their heads, Silent and ashamed¡­ As if their secrets had been exposed. The people who had originally intended to demand compensation Now didn¡¯t dare to speak up¡­ When the ancestral hall had finally quieted down completely, Lin Yaodong spoke slowly: ¡°Let¡¯s adjourn.¡± The next day, Northern Myanmar, Kachin State, A small village on the outskirts of Ga Wei Town. Zhao Hu was training his men to become familiar with firearms, Practicing shooting. There were many ragged children watching from a distance, Full of envy. This village was under their organization¡¯s control. Zhao Renzhou was sitting and strolling around the village. This was his first time taking a serious look at northern Myanmar. Because this place was close to the Dragon Country border, Most people spoke the language of the Dragon Country here. Only a small number of Shan people used Burmese. They used both Burmese kyats and Dragon Country currency for transactions. But the dilapidated houses and backward everything else Gave it a feeling of the last century. Of course, The town would be a bit better than this feeling. But it wasn¡¯t much better there either. As he was walking around, He heard Zhao Hu¡¯s voice on the walkie-talkie: ¡°Big brother!¡± ¡°People have arrived from Naiga Town.¡± ¡°It¡¯s Sow and his men who came personally.¡± ¡°Zhao Bao is receiving them.¡± ¡°And Xiong Wang from Yebei Town called.¡± ¡°He¡¯s asking about the people from Tazhai Group.¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°Give them the ashes?¡± Those people had all been dealt with by Zhao Renzhou, Like a bucket of gasoline and a lit match¡­ They were burned to ashes. As for the ashes¡­ If they dug around, they should still be able to find them. Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. He took out the walkie-talkie and cursed: ¡°What¡¯s the point of giving them anything?!¡± ¡°Sow came in person?!¡± Next to Ga Wei Town, there were two other towns, Naiga Town on the left and Yebei Town on the right. Sow¡¯s gang occupied Naiga Town, And Xiong Wang¡¯s gang occupied Yebei Town. Zhao Renzhou hadn¡¯t expected that tazhai Group would actually send Sow personally to demand people. This was exactly what Zhao Renzhou wanted¡­ ¡°You tell Zhao Bao to keep them under control.¡± ¡°Gather your team quickly.¡± ¡°Bring the RPGs and get ready to move out.¡± ¡°We¡¯re sending them west today!¡± Chapter 13 Chapter 13: Slaughter Greetings from RPGZhao Renzhou¡¯s lips curled up into a chilling smile. He was contemplating which one of them to target. But these bunch of fools, they actually walked right into his trap and offered themselves up for slaughter. Whoever said there were too many bad guys in northern Myanmar? s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Afraid that if I went there, I¡¯d waste my time hunting them down. They¡¯re bringing themselves to me for execution¡­ What a stroke of luck. The town of Jiawei. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s base. It stood at the rear of Jiawei, with no signs of human activity within two kilometers. Only tall walls and watchtowers were visible. Inside, there were numerous ramshackle houses, a few large warehouses, and some training areas. Outside the base, there were four decrepit vans parked, while inside the vast canopy tent, Suo and a group of thirty to forty people sat. Leading them was Suo, a sturdy middle-aged man. His sun-darkened skin bore numerous scars, giving him the appearance of an incredibly tenacious individual. The rest of the people with him were equally rugged and tough, exuding a cold and ruthless aura. Each of them held a weapon in hand as they observed Zhao Renzhou¡¯s base. Zhao Bao, at a distance, was on the phone, nodding occasionally. Suo¡¯s subordinates spoke in hushed tones. ¡°Big Brother,¡± one of them whispered, ¡°It looks like this Chen Jinlong really got taken out. Everyone has switched over to Zhao Renzhou now, and Zhao Bao is in charge.¡± They were all neighbors, and they knew who had what influence and who had formidable underlings. This base was originally managed by Chen Jinlong, but now it belonged to Zhao Bao. The news they had received a couple of days ago must be true; Chen Jinlong had been betrayed and eliminated by Zhao Renzhou. Suo nodded in agreement, not saying a word. His sharp eyes were deep in thought, considering whether this was an opportunity to expand their territory and gain more power. However, they had to complete this deal first, as Taizhai needed a few more people. For a sum of three million, Suo had no choice but to personally intervene in this matter. That¡¯s why he had brought these people along, to ensure that nothing would go wrong. He believed that with his reputation, Zhao Renzhou should be willing to cooperate. Otherwise, if things escalated, with so many people on his side, Zhao Renzhou wouldn¡¯t gain any advantage either. At that moment, Zhao Bao finished his call and approached Suo. ¡°Mr. Suo,¡± he said, ¡°My big brother will be back shortly. Please wait a moment. The place where Taizhai¡¯s people are being held is a secret dungeon, so we need my big brother¡¯s key. Also, my big brother wants to discuss something with you about the cooperative development between Jiawei and Naiga towns. What do you think?¡± Suo¡¯s face lit up with a smile. ¡°No problem,¡± he replied, ¡°As long as you hand over the people, we can talk about anything. I¡¯m also curious to see how things will change in Jiawei now that it has a new leader. I¡¯m looking forward to our cooperation.¡± Zhao Bao nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s good then. I¡¯ll go prepare some fruit.¡± He then instructed someone to go to the town to buy watermelons while he led others to get ice water. He didn¡¯t seem to mind having so many people in their headquarters. This made Suo and his group lower their guard slightly. Before long, the person who had gone to buy watermelons returned. Zhao Bao had them soak about a dozen watermelons in ice water for over ten minutes, then had them sliced. He brought the watermelons over. ¡°Come, come, have some watermelon,¡± Zhao Bao said. ¡°My big brother will be back soon. I¡¯ll go meet him at the gate.¡± Suo nodded and didn¡¯t hesitate. He waved his hand, and the people below started eating the watermelon in batches. He, however, did not partake. Outside the base, Zhao Renzhou peered through the crack in the gate and saw the scene inside. He chuckled, ¡°This old guy is quite cautious, isn¡¯t he? He doesn¡¯t eat himself; instead, he has his men eat in batches. Those who have reached this stage aren¡¯t to be underestimated, not a single one of them.¡± Unfortunately, no matter how bright the light, it couldn¡¯t withstand a rocket launcher. Ten rounds of anti-armor high-explosive shells were enough to take down three or four dozen people, especially when they were gathered closely together. It was like using a cannon to swat a mosquito; even a near miss would be fatal. Without turning his head, Zhao Renzhou calmly said, ¡°Give me one.¡± Immediately behind him, someone handed over an RPG-7 rocket launcher, already loaded. He dropped his cigar on the ground. ¡°Take aim,¡± Zhao Renzhou ordered. The other nine RPG-7 rocket launchers also aimed in the direction of Suo and his group. Zhao Bao took cautious steps forward until he reached the gate, gripping the handle. Zhao Renzhou, with the rocket launcher on his shoulder, nodded. Zhao Bao unlocked the gate, and along with the others outside, they pulled it aside quickly. This revealed Zhao Renzhou and his group. Zhao Renzhou squeezed the trigger of the RPG, and the anti-armor high-explosive shell streaked through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh¡ª Ten anti-armor high-explosive rounds, racing against each other. They were fired towards Suh and his group. No time to react?! A distance of two hundred meters, passed in an instant!! Suh and his companions only managed to raise their heads. Their horrified gaze was unbelieving. With mouths still open, they were struck through the chest by the anti-armor high-explosive rounds. Their entire bodies were instantly torn apart by the explosion. Limb fragments scattered. In Suh¡¯s final fleeting impression of life. It was Zhao Renzhou. Then came the sadistic shout: ¡°RPG!!!¡± Boom, boom, boom¡ª An explosive mushroom cloud ascended. Ten anti-armor high-explosive rounds. Successively piercing the massive shade canopy. Blinding flames erupted, accompanied by searing heat. Carried along was the scent of burning flesh. The substantial frame of the shade canopy. Visibly melted at the exceedingly high temperature. And then it collapsed! The thirty or forty armed individuals assembled there. They didn¡¯t even have time to grab their guns. They were entombed within the flames. Buried beneath the fallen shade canopy. Reduced to charred remains¡­ Chapter 14 Chapter 14: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Ambush, The Demise of Xiong Wang¡¯s Top GeneralZhao Hu put down the rocket launcher he had been carrying. Watching the exploding flames, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Is that it?¡± S?a?ch* Th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Damn,¡± he muttered. ¡°This thing works wonders.¡± And indeed, it did. Around thirty to forty individuals¡­ All of them were the elite warriors brought by Suo. These people would give any local militia or government army a headache no matter where they were deployed. But what they didn¡¯t expect was Zhao Renzhou¡¯s cunning. He didn¡¯t follow any rules.he immediately used high-explosive anti-tank shells upon arrival. Around thirty to forty people, not a single shot fired. They were all turned into charred remains. Talk about bad luck¡­ Zhao Renzhou smiled faintly. He handed the RPG he was holding to his subordinate and looked at Zhao Bao. ¡°What¡¯s the situation with Xiong Wang?¡± Xiong Wang was a nickname. Nobody remembered his real name anymore. All they knew was¡­ This guy kept a brown bear. He enjoyed feeding the bear with people who offended his dignity. Over time, they just started calling him Xiong Wang. Nobody remembered his real name. Zhao Bao spoke up, ¡°As per your instructions,¡± ¡°We¡¯ve spoken to him.¡± ¡°The ransom is 200,000 yuan per person,¡± ¡°There are six of them.¡± ¡°If he agrees,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll send the hostages to him.¡± ¡°He agreed,¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded. He glanced at the several cars that Suo had brought. Then, he instructed Zhao Hu, ¡°Clean them up.¡± ¡°See how many people one car can fit.¡± Zhao Hu nodded and took some men over. First, they took out the drivers and staff who had their throats slit from the cars. Then, they had people climb into the cars one by one. Before long, Zhao Hu returned and said, ¡°Big brother,¡± ¡°One car,¡± ¡°Including the driver,¡± ¡°Squeeze in, we can fit fifteen,¡± Zhao Hu said. Zhao Renzhou nodded lightly, ¡°Bring sixty people.¡± ¡°Fill up those four vans.¡± ¡°And get two more jeeps.¡± ¡°Bring eight RPGs.¡± ¡°Zhao Bao, you stay behind to guard the place.¡± ¡°Zhao Hu, come with me.¡± Zhao Hu grinned widely, ¡°Alright.¡± Zhao Bao frowned slightly, ¡°Be careful with everything.¡± Zhao Hu waved his hand dismissively, ¡°Careful? Careful about what?¡± ¡°With our equipment,¡± ¡°Forget about just one Xiong Wang,¡± ¡°We could take on two more without a problem.¡± Just for guarding the place, they had forty AKMs. And two RPGs. Even if they were up against the government army in town, They¡¯d catch them off guard with ease.let alone Xiong Wang, whose equipment wasn¡¯t as top-notch. They were all on an even playing field; who didn¡¯t know that? If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Renzhou acquiring those AKMs, They¡¯d still be using bolt-action rifles. Let alone Xiong Wang¡­ The group, still riding the high of just defeating Suo and his gang, continued on in their convoy of four vans and two jeeps as they made their way towards Yebei Town. Behind the pitch-black windows of the vans, nobody could tell that each one was filled with fifteen armed individuals carrying AKMs. And there were four of these vans in total¡­ Northern Myanmar. The border. Yebei Town. When they arrived here, it had been over an hour since they set off. Yebei Town appeared even more run-down than Jagwei Town, but this kind of deterioration displayed a certain level of ruthlessness and brutality. People with sinister looks were everywhere. Unlike Zhao Renzhou¡¯s side, where they prohibited their subordinates from getting involved with narcotics, here you could even see people openly using drugs on the streets, inhaling substances that made them feel heavenly. The air was filled with a foul odor. Zhao Renzhou furrowed his brows, rubbing his nose. Then, suddenly, the lead bread van slammed on its brakes, bringing the entire convoy to a halt. Zhao Renzhou, seated in the middle jeep, said, ¡°Go see what¡¯s going on.¡± Zhao Hu nodded, opened the door, and stepped out of the vehicle. Up ahead, the lead bread van had collided with a sudden swerving off-road vehicle. The collision had deformed the off-road vehicle¡¯s door, and the occupants inside were cursing and kicking the door. With a loud crash, the door was kicked off entirely, revealing a burly man standing at around two meters tall, covered in colorful tattoos all over his body. He cursed and walked out, saying, ¡°Tired of living, huh?!¡± ¡°You dare crash into my car?!¡± This guy looked like a gangster and acted like one too. Zhao Hu approached from behind and said, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this our old friend Baru?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you bring your eyes when you left home?¡± ¡°A convoy this big, and you still run into it?¡± The towering two-meter tall man, Baru, squinted his eyes and said, ¡°Zhao Hu¡­¡± ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Baru couldn¡¯t help but feel a sense of caution. This many vehicles¡­ didn¡¯t seem like they were just passing through. Almost instinctively, Baru¡¯s hand reached for his waist, and his two companions in the vehicle also jumped out, looking nervous when they saw Baru¡¯s tension. Zhao Hu grinned widely and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous.¡± ¡°We have an arrangement with Xiong Wang.¡± ¡°We¡¯re here for a delivery.¡± Baru remained skeptical, ¡°A delivery?¡± He truly had no idea about this. Zhao Hu chuckled, ¡°My big brother is in the car.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can ask him.¡± He pointed towards the jeep, and Baru slightly turned to look. Indeed, it was Zhao Renzhou, and Zhao Renzhou even waved to him. Baru let go of some of his guard, slowly lowering his hand from his waist. He gave Zhao Hu, who was wearing a friendly smile, a brief glance, signaling his two companions to stand down. Baru then walked towards Zhao Renzhou, who was beckoning. On the other side, Zhao Hu observed the still-wary two companions and took out a pack of cigarettes, tossing it their way. ¡°Here, have a couple,¡± he said, searching for a lighter on himself. As Baru approached the jeep, he barely had a chance to bend down and speak before Zhao Renzhou suddenly smiled coldly. *Bang!* A muffled grunt. *Bang! Bang!* Two more shots. Baru¡¯s face turned incredulous as three large holes appeared in the jeep¡¯s door. The Desert Eagle, modified with a suppressor, had shown no mercy, piercing through the door and piercing Baru¡¯s body without hesitation. The 12.7mm large-caliber bullets, upon hitting Baru¡¯s abdomen, caused a massive impact that shredded his intestines into pieces, sending bits of flesh and gore out from his back. Both of his kidneys took two shots each. Baru¡¯s life was hanging by a thread. With blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, he summoned all his remaining strength, clawing at the jeep¡¯s door. He stared at Zhao Renzhou with unyielding eyes, struggling to speak amidst coughing up blood. ¡°You¡­ *cough*¡­¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Baru¡¯s strength rapidly dwindled. His lips twitched slightly, trying to utter something, but all that came out was a continuous coughing of blood. Zhao Renzhou slowly raised the gun, neither hurried nor impatient, extending it out of the window and aiming it at Baru¡¯s head. ¡°Don¡¯t resist,¡± he said. ¡°Really¡­¡± Baru began. Bang! Blood splattered in all directions, the red and white hues piercing through the skull up close. At such a short distance, you could distinctly hear the bone-cracking sound as it was penetrated by the impact. Baru stared wide-eyed, a look of resentment on his face, slowly toppling backward. Meanwhile, in front of him, Zhao Hu, at an unknown moment, slit the throats of two henchmen. One of them accidentally severed an artery, and blood gushed out instantly, spraying four or five meters away like a fountain. Zhao Hu bent down, wiping his knife on one of the bodies. ¡°Damn it,¡± he muttered, ¡°my hands are dirty.¡± Disdainfully, he kicked the bodies of the two henchmen to the side and reinserted his knife. ¡°Clean the car windows,¡± he ordered. ¡°They¡¯re all covered in blood.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll clean it up later.¡± Chapter 15 Chapter 15: The Madness of Zhao Hu ¨C A One-Sided SlaughterZhao Hu returned from the front and looked at Baru¡¯s lifeless body on the ground. He kicked it a couple of times. ¡°Is that it?¡± he asked. ¡°He even fought a grizzly bear hand-to-hand,¡± someone replied. ¡°He didn¡¯t put up much of a fight,¡± Zhao Hu remarked. Baru was known as the number one tough guy under the Bear King, with a robust physique standing over two meters tall. It was said that he could wrestle with the grizzly bear owned by the Bear King himself. However, such a formidable man was shot three times by the Desert Eagle, and his shattered intestines lay scattered on the ground. He died without any resistance. Zhao Hu leaned down, grabbed Baru¡¯s lifeless arm, and tossed it to the side of the road. He clapped his hands and returned. ¡°Big brother,¡± he said. ¡°Go straight for it,¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded. ¡°We can¡¯t hide it for much longer,¡± Zhao Hu added. ¡°Shortly, we¡¯ll clear the way with a rocket launcher,¡± Zhao Hu grinned. ¡°Understood!¡± he exclaimed. He then proceeded ahead, directing the convoy. The jeep carrying an RPG drove at the very front to pave the way for the convoy. Zhao Hu himself jumped onto that jeep. The convoy sped towards the outskirts of Yebei Town, heading for the Bear King¡¯s main camp. Once the convoy departed, there were a few onlookers scattered about. They cautiously approached to assess the situation¡­ When they saw Baru lying in a pool of blood and gore, quite a few of them were dumbfounded. This was one of the Bear King¡¯s most trusted subordinates. They were killed just like that? Who were the people in that convoy? Suddenly, someone thought about the direction the convoy had headed¡ªtowards the Bear King¡¯s main camp. The more astute individuals had already begun making phone calls to report¡­ Bear King¡¯s main camp. ¡°A fence made of iron bars.¡± Surrounding a large piece of land. It looks much larger than Zhao Renzhou¡¯s base. At least four or five times bigger. You can clearly see the iron factory sheds inside. A refining workshop. All part of the base. At the entrance, there are armed personnel on patrol alone. There are seven or eight of them moving around. At the entrance, two watchtowers stand tall. Two people holding guns, some of them drowsy. Inside the luxurious house of the base. Rough-looking, full of beard. Even the exposed chest has a large patch of chest hair on the Bear King. He¡¯s lying on a specially made bed. Enjoying a massage¡­ Suddenly, his subordinate rushed in anxiously: ¡°Boss!¡± ¡°Baru has been killed?!¡± The Bear King sat up suddenly: ¡°What did you say?!¡± ¡°How did it happen..¡± Boom, boom¡ª¡± ¡°A continuous series of explosions. Accompanied by the intense shaking of the ground houses. Interrupted the Bear King¡¯s speech. S?a?ch* Th? N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. And startled the Bear King as well. It¡¯s clear¡­ Someone the hell is attacking here? Damn it! Who did I offend? The government army? It can¡¯t be¡­ Damn it! The Bear King¡¯s expression kept changing: ¡°Gather everyone at the factory!¡± ¡°No losses are acceptable on the way!¡± If the factory were to be destroyed, that would be trouble. He placed the factory inside the base for safety, after all. Who would have thought that someone would dare to attack his base. Damn it¡­ He quickly put on his clothes. The Bear King picked up a weapon. And hid¡­ ¡°Outside the Bear King¡¯s base, Eight RPG-7 rocket launchers, Four in each group. Firing in succession, without pause. The patrolling personnel at the base entrance and the watchtowers Had no time to retaliate. They were instantly killed and shaken by the anti-armor high-explosive rounds¡­ The burning flames engulfed the guards in an instant. The sound of their agonizing cries accompanied the thunderous explosions. Creating the most terrifying intimidation. Zhao Hu, carrying an RPG, Stood up from the Jeep¡¯s window. He grinned while shouting, ¡°Charge, charge!¡± ¡°Crash straight through!¡± The pitch-black Jeep, Accelerated towards the base¡¯s iron gate. The distance getting closer and closer! The fierceness in Zhao Hu¡¯s eyes grew more intense. He pulled the trigger on the RPG resting on his shoulder. Swoosh¡ª A sharp, piercing sound. The anti-armor high-explosive round aimed at the gate. Fired instantly.¡± ¡°Zhao Hu pulled his whole body back into the car¡­ The next second. Boom! A massive explosion erupted! The base¡¯s iron gate shook twice, But could no longer hold. It shattered and flew apart! The Jeep also trembled violently. Rushing in through the exploding flames. Four vans behind it. Following closely. Inside the car, Zhao Hu shook his head. He handed the rocket launcher to his subordinate. With his left hand, he grabbed the shotgun that Zhao Renzhou had given him. With a forceful up-and-down motion, The shotgun loaded instantly. With his right hand, he opened the door. Then, he caught the shotgun¡¯s stock. Aim next to the door where the person was flipped over by the impact, and he fired a shot. Half of the skull exploded into pieces. Chunks of red and white intermingled, splattering the ground. Indescribably nauseating. But Zhao Hu felt nothing, raving madly: ¡°TMD!!!¡± ¡°¡°Give it to me!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t leave anyone alive!¡± ¡°The ones with RPGs, blow up the factory building for me!¡± ¡°Four of you, charge with me!¡± As soon as the words fell, Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh¡ª High-explosive rockets followed suit, Continuously shattering and dispersing the assembling enemies. On the vans, Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates holding AKMs, Leapt out and started firing at anyone they saw¡­ The continuous gunfire from the automatic rifles formed a wall of flames. Wherever it swept through, The Bear King¡¯s men, Fell with blood blossoms blooming all over¡­ It was like clearing a field of wheat with a sickle. A massacre, Based on the advantage of weaponry and equipment, RPGs and automatic rifles against bolt-action rifles¡­ A one-sided massacre¡­ Chapter 16 Chapter 16: Bloodsoaked Firefight, Exploding FactoryDadadadadadada¡ª!! The relentless rattle of gunfire. Echoing with the piercing screams of the crowd. Sixty AKM rifles. Reduced Xiong Wang¡¯s henchmen to a disorganized mess. Each time they attempted to regroup, Preparation for an assault! With a single high-explosive grenade, It would screech into the midst of the throng. Boom¡ª!! Exploding right in the heart of the crowd, The violent blast tore people into fragments. Immediately, under the scorching heat, They rapidly charred to black. Numerous severed limbs and broken bodies scattered about. Some, miraculously surviving away from the epicenter, Had their eardrums shattered, blood trickling from their ears. Gasping, mouths agape, producing agonized cries¡­ Struggling to move their bodies on the harsh ground, You could distinctly witness torn flesh. And on the ground, trails of friction and flowing blood¡­. Boom¡ª!! Another high-explosive grenade descended. The figures that had just been struggling to crawl, Were instantly torn apart. Bones shattered and sprayed into the bloody mist. Heads rolling who knows where¡­ Xiong Wang was hiding inside a building. Peering through the window at everything. Especially at the collapsed factory. His rage knew no bounds: ¡°TMD!!¡± ¡°Who is it!¡± ¡°Ahhhhhhh!¡± Without his henchmen, he could always recruit more. But the factory was gone¡­ And that meant losing a lot of money! ¡°TMD!!¡± Xiong Wang pulled open the window, Took out his gun, and started firing outside. Mowing down a few people. Then he retreated, taking cover behind a wall. At this moment, One of his henchmen ran up to him: ¡°Boss!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s retreat from the rear!¡± ¡°The firepower on the other side is too intense!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t hold them off!¡± Fear was palpable in the henchman¡¯s voice. It was too damn terrifying¡­. ¡°Rough!¡± ¡°An AKM all the way.¡± ¡°They even have a damn rocket launcher.¡± ¡°What the heck is this chicken play!¡± ¡°Do the government troops even have this firepower?! ¡± ¡°What the heck?!¡± ¡°When did we mess with these kind of people?¡± ¡°The key question is where did they come from?! ¡± ¡°This is too damn sudden, isn¡¯t it?! ¡± ¡°King Bear¡¯s crimson eyes.¡± ¡°Staring firmly at his own factory.¡± ¡°Four factories.¡± ¡°Definitely, two of them have been blasted.¡± ¡°The remaining ones surely can¡¯t hold either.¡± ¡°Rough!¡± ¡°Retreat!¡± ¡°TMD!!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let me find out who it is?!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Boom!¡± ¡°A rocket hit the wall behind King Bear.¡± ¡°Anti-armor high-explosive shell explosion.¡± ¡°The huge impact blew a big hole in the wall.¡± ¡°King Bear was blown forward by the explosion.¡± ¡°His arm was shattered by flying debris.¡± ¡°Torn open a big piece of flesh, swaying¡­.¡± ¡°A massive roar.¡± ¡°Leaving King Bear¡¯s brain spinning, a blank slate.¡± ¡°He was now deaf¡­.¡± ¡°And the fierceness he had just shown was gone.¡± ¡°His expression filled with bewildered panic.¡± ¡°He staggered to his feet.¡± ¡°Hold me up!¡± ¡°Retreat!¡± ¡°His subordinates couldn¡¯t hear what King Bear was shouting.¡± ¡°Their ears were deafened too.¡± ¡°But standing there was definitely not an option.¡± ¡°His subordinates helped King Bear up and ran towards the base.¡± Outside, Zhao Hu abandoned the rocket launcher covered in blood. Looking at the big hole on the wall. The previous strafing by King Bear. Killed two of the rocket launcher guys. If it weren¡¯t for Zhao Hu¡¯s quick reflexes. That thing would have exploded beside him. Thinking about this, Zhao Hu was filled with anger: ¡°TMD!¡± ¡°Keep firing!¡± ¡°Grab AKs!¡± S?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Ten of you, come with me!¡± ¡°Rough!¡± At the same time, he handed his shotgun to his subordinates: ¡°Take good care of this for me!¡± He snatched an AK from one of his subordinates. Grabbed two more magazines and started firing. Chasing after King Bear as he fled. The base that had just been peaceful moments ago. Had now become a hellish nightmare. Many buildings were destroyed by high-explosive shells. The ground was littered with charred remains. In the collapsed workshops, People involved in refining rock candy Struggled to crawl out, Only to be mowed down by bullets¡­ Falling to the ground¡­ And the instigator of this battle, Was sitting not far from the base, Inside a jeep, Wearing a faint smile. Watching as people continuously fled the base, Dropping their weapons and armor¡­ Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lips curled upward. Revealing his white teeth. Click, click¡ª He chambered a round in his Desert Eagle, Casually extended it out of the window, Aiming at King Bear¡¯s panicked subordinates. Bang¡ª Just one shot! A head shattered, half of the body lying next to the jeep. Red and white matter flowing all over the ground¡­ Chapter 17 Chapter 17: Brutalizing King Bear, a Direct HeadshotZhao Renzhou¡¯s hand dangled outside the car window. Swinging casually. Occasionally reloading his gun. Taking a shot now and then. After about ten minutes or so. The vast base was completely cleared out. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s men. Patrolling with AKMs in hand. In the center of the base, a dense crowd had gathered. Apart from the workers involved in refining in the factories. There were also those who had thrown away their weapons. Bear King¡¯s subordinates, their heads in their hands. Everyone was trembling with fear. Frozen in place, afraid to move. They had been completely disoriented. They hadn¡¯t even had a chance to open fire. They didn¡¯t know where an RPG had come from. Helplessly watching people right in front of them. Blown to pieces. Blood and bone fragments splattering on their faces. That kind of fear¡­ Directly shattered the psychological defenses of the group. Coupled with the fact that their weapons were already at a disadvantage. Under the firepower of dozens of AKMs. They quickly crumbled and surrendered. The massive base. Apart from over a hundred armed personnel. The rest were all workers. Gathered in the center of the base. There were roughly three to four hundred people in sight. This didn¡¯t even account for those of Bear King¡¯s subordinates who had already been taken out. And the refining personnel buried under the factory shed. At this moment, they were all gathered here. Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Renzhou¡¯s men. Another group of people. Were rummaging through the ruins of houses, scavenging for valuables. In the rear of the base, The man known as Bear King¡¯s leader. Holding his arm, hands clutching his head. Walking towards the base. Behind him was Zhao Hu, who had been shot in the arm. And eight of his men. Zhao Hu tore a piece of cloth. Directly wrapped it around his arm. He pulled hard! A refreshing sensation of pain swept through his entire body instantly. Zhao Hu widened his eyes, not making a sound. He flicked his fingers and tightened it again. Completely stopping the bleeding from his arm. ¡°Tui¡ª¡± He spat out a mouthful of saliva. ¡°MD¡­.¡± He turned his head and locked eyes with King Bear. Zhao Hu¡¯s anger surged up instantly. ¡°TMD!!¡± ¡°Hold him down for me!¡± His subordinates didn¡¯t hesitate. Two of them held onto King Bear¡¯s arms, and two others grabbed his legs. With a thud, They slammed King Bear to the ground. Zhao Hu raised his gun. Bang, bang¡ª Two shots hit King Bear¡¯s knees. The intense pain made King Bear scream in madness: ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Zhao Hu!¡± ¡°You wait for me!¡± ¡°You¡­!!¡± But he was pinned down by four people. Unable to break free. Zhao Hu grinned: ¡°Release him.¡± As he spoke, He removed the magazine from his AK. Gripping the barrel of the gun. Facing the struggling Bear King trying to get up, a swing¡­ Crack¡ª A crisp sound of bones breaking. A chunk instantly caved in on the Bear King¡¯s head. Blood gushed out¡­ ¡°Waiting?!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you, my ass!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Zhao Hu gripped the gun barrel. The butt of the AK, one after another, struck the Bear King. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± He struck many times in succession. Seeing the Bear King still silent, Zhao Hu chuckled, nodding fiercely. ¡°Alright!¡± ¡°Got some tough bones, huh?¡± ¡°Very good!¡± Zhao Hu turned the gun¡¯s muzzle. Loaded the magazine. Click click¡ª Locked and loaded. Walked behind the Bear King. A tongue of fire spat out. The Bear King¡¯s two feet were beaten to a pulp. There are also quite a few toes scattered nearby. Zhao Hu lifted his foot and scraped a couple of times. S~?a??h the ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Pulling off the shattered shoes of the Bear King. ¡°Tmd¡­.¡± ¡°Take him away!¡± He said to his subordinates: ¡°Support his arms.¡± ¡°Drag him over to the big brother.¡± Two subordinates immediately ran over. One on each side. They held onto the Bear King¡¯s two arms. Dragging him towards the base. As for those two shattered and mangled soles. They rested on the ground. Leaving behind two long bloodstains on the ground. Along with the scattered flesh all around. All the way to the base¡­. Chapter 18 Chapter 18: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Jest, Feeding the Bear!Inside Bear King¡¯s base, Zhao Renzhou and his men were collecting things, Box by box, item by item, they were carrying them out. There were also some cages, Containing several wolfhounds with red eyes and drooling mouths. Among them was the largest cage, Housing a brown bear. Zhao Renzhou stood in front of the cage, Watching this brown bear with great interest. He reached for something nearby, A piece of charred meat, and kicked it into the cage,surprisingly, the bear didn¡¯t even glance at it. Zhao Renzhou smirked, ¡°Seems quite picky.¡± At that moment, ¡°Big brother!¡± s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°They¡¯ve caught someone!¡± Zhao Hu¡¯s voice echoed in the distance. Zhao Renzhou turned to look, Zhao Hu was leading a group of people, Dragging the memory of Bear King along with them, All the way to the base. Bloodstains covered the ground. Zhao Renzhou looked at Zhao Hu, who was bandaging his arm. ¡°You¡¯re injured,¡± Zhao Renzhou remarked. Zhao Hu patted his arm and replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, just a minor wound.¡± He then took Bear King from his subordinates. Grabbing him by the collar, he tossed him onto the ground. ¡°This dog is quite formidable,¡± Zhao Hu sneered. ¡°He killed two of our brothers.¡± ¡°Damn it¡­¡± ¡°He even broke my bone.¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded approvingly, ¡°Well done.¡± ¡°Go find a doctor to rebandage that wound.¡± He then slowly squatted down, With a Desert Eagle in his hand, He prodded Bear King¡¯s head lightly. In a mocking tone, he said, ¡°Long time no see, Bear King.¡± ¡°Why are your legs missing?¡± Intense pain made Bear King tremble all over. But upon hearing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice, He struggled to lift his head, staring at Zhao Renzhou with hatred. Bear King¡¯s voice was intermittent but filled with hatred as he spoke: ¡°Dshan¡­ Dshan tribe¡­ armed¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t¡­ let you¡­ get away with¡­¡± ¡°Your¡­¡± The reason Bear King had been able to reign for so long was because he had numerous collaborations with the Dshan tribe¡¯s armed forces. In this region of northern Myanmar, power was divided among the government army, regional Dshan armed groups, and various drug lords. The government army had the best equipment, while the regional Dshan armed groups were dispersed and hard to deal with. In the seven border towns, Zhao Renzhou, Bear King, and their followers had gathered hundreds of people and organized the control of one town. Eliminating them was a challenging task, and they lacked the strength to decisively change the balance of power. Both the government army and the Dshan armed groups were unwilling to engage in conflict. The same logic applied to Zhao Renzhou and his group; they could fight, but both sides were deeply rooted in the area. In such a situation, fighting would only result in losing a large chunk of flesh without changing the overall balance of power. So, the three parties had an unusual peace arrangement. Now that Zhao Renzhou had taken down Bear King, it meant a reduction in income for the Dshan armed forces. It couldn¡¯t just be left like that. When he heard Bear King¡¯s threat, Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly and slowly stood up. He beckoned to someone nearby, and one of his men immediately handed him a large machete with a golden-inlaid handle. This was found in Bear King¡¯s house, and it was said that Bear King liked to use it to chop off people¡¯s arms and feed them to the bear. Zhao Renzhou took the machete with the golden-threaded wooden handle, gripped it with both hands, and gave it a swing, saying, ¡°Was I freaking scared?¡± Splat! A severed arm flew into the air. Zhao Renzhou bent down and picked up the severed limb without the slightest regard for the agonizing screams beneath his feet. He then tossed the arm into the cage housing the brown bear. Unexpectedly, the beast didn¡¯t eat it, even after he pushed it towards the bear a couple of times. He pushed the arm out of the cage, and Zhao Renzhou chuckled, saying, ¡°Not eating, huh?¡± He then switched to holding the machete in one hand and pulled out a handgun from his waist with the other. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The 12.7mm bullets discharged into the massive brown bear, creating large holes in its body. The enraged brown bear roared wildly and thrashed against the cage, causing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s men to involuntarily step back, fearing that the creature might break free. Zhao Renzhou released the bear, grabbed Bear King by the collar, and dragged him over to the iron cage, which the brown bear had been slamming into. He looked at the massive gap in the cage and the brown bear that was glaring at him with hatred. With a forceful motion, Zhao Renzhou shoved Bear King¡¯s head through the gap. Snap! Crunch! The head that went in was instantly snapped and torn off by the brown bear. The brown bear¡¯s blood-soaked maw roared in fury. Staring at Zhao Renzhou just a few steps away from the cage, the brown bear roared, ¡°Roar!¡± Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Barbaric¡­ Truly, utterly barbaric¡­ Bringing civilization (and peace) to northern Myanmar¡­ That¡¯s a long road ahead¡­¡± In a jesting manner, he pulled the trigger. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! This time, he aimed for the head. The half-shattered head of the brown bear¡¯s lifeless body collapsed onto the ground with a thud. Chapter 19 Chapter 19: Taking Over Bear King¡¯s Empire, Zhao Renzhou Strikes It RichHaving dispatched the crazed brown bear, Zhao Renzhou tossed the machete with the golden-threaded handle he had in his hand to one of his subordinates and instructed, ¡°Put it away. Pack it up.¡± Observing the jewelry and accessories covered in gold rings and trinkets that Bear King had on his hands, Zhao Renzhou gave another order, ¡°Remember to chop those off. Strip off all the gold.¡± He then proceeded to count the finances. Boxes of jewelry and precious items were scattered on the ground. Unlike the discreet and low-key Dragon Nation people, Bear King¡¯s rugged appearance spoke volumes. There was far more gold here than in Gawei Town. It had all been painstakingly collected. S?a?ch* Th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. What was different from Chen Jinlong¡¯s gold-plated revolver was that Zhao Renzhou¡¯s men had also uncovered a semi-finished AK-47 entirely made of pure gold in Bear King¡¯s bedroom. It seemed they wanted to own a fully golden AK-47, but they hadn¡¯t managed to complete it before Zhao Renzhou wiped them out. Nevertheless, this gold AK-47 was quite impressive in terms of its level of completion, lacking only a magazine and casing. Now there was a need for a substantial amount of gold. Zhao Renzhou examined the gold AK-47 for a moment and then tossed it into a box. It wasn¡¯t of much use in its current state; it all needed to be absorbed eventually. What was practical was the AK-47 he held in his hand. On the other hand, Zhao Hu had returned after getting his wounds rebandaged. ¡°Big brother,¡± he said. Zhao Renzhou nodded, his eyes narrowing as he surveyed Bear King¡¯s subordinates who had surrendered. He turned to Zhao Hu and said, ¡°I¡¯ll leave you with 50 AK-47s and eight RPGs. Recruit some people and hold the fort for a couple of days. In a few days, we¡¯ll have another batch to loot. I¡¯ll have Ah Bao deliver them.¡± Bear King was dead, but there were still remnants of his gang elsewhere. Once they got wind of the news, they might come seeking revenge. The second issue was dealing with the regional armed groups of the Dshan tribe. Politely speaking, they were regional armed groups, but in reality, they were a bunch of warlords, with Bear King being a slightly smaller one in comparison. ¡°But cleaning up will also cost us a chunk of meat. And letting the government army take advantage¡­ So, it¡¯s a win-win cooperation between both sides. Now that the Bear King is dead. Zhao Renzhou has no intention of continuing to cooperate. As for money¡­ Can¡¯t we earn it ourselves? If there¡¯s trouble, let¡¯s solve it¡­After all, he¡¯s still an outsider¡­ The possibility of buying people¡¯s hearts is very small¡­ After all, the word ¡®Shan¡¯ (referring to Shan State) says it all¡­ The cohesion of ethnic groups¡­ He¡¯s not a native Burmese after all¡­ Can¡¯t feed them¡­ As for fighting back? With all this gold on the ground, We can afford to produce hundreds of AKs¡­ There are plenty of people. If they die, they die. In northern Myanmar, there are plenty who can¡¯t survive. Recruiting people is easy. They¡¯ve become expendable¡­ It¡¯s not that Zhao Renzhou has no concept of human life. It¡¯s just the way things are here. In the Shan State region, there are armed warlords and bandits. They¡¯ve been raising child soldiers with sugar since childhood. They¡¯re worse than beasts¡­¡± ¡°At the age of seven or eight, they¡¯re already using crystal meth and playing Russian roulette. This is something you wouldn¡¯t even dare to think about in the Dragon Kingdom. But here, in those villages controlled by armed groups in the Shan State region,It¡¯s everywhere¡­ Zhao Hu nodded on his side: ¡°No problem.¡± ¡°Put those RPGs at the base entrance.¡± ¡°Let anyone who comes think twice.¡± ¡°What about those people?¡± Zhao Hu looked towards the crowd of people. The Bear King¡¯s men and the refinery workers huddled together. Bowed their heads¡­ Mainly the Bear King¡¯s men¡­ Zhao Renzhou glanced at them: ¡°Have some of them separated.¡± Zhao Hu nodded and called a few people. They quickly separated the Bear King¡¯s men From the group of refinery workers. Zhao Hu ran back. Zhao Renzhou said in a deep voice: ¡°First, figure out.¡± ¡°Who are the leaders among them?¡± ¡°What do they oversee.¡± ¡°Make them expose each other.¡± ¡°After everything is sorted out.¡± ¡°And we get some information out of them.¡± ¡°The leaders will be taken care of uniformly.¡± ¡°As for the remaining lower-level personnel,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll keep them without issuing weapons for now.¡± ¡°When we have enough recruits later, we can release them.¡± ¡°Those who are with us will stay.¡± ¡°Those who are not will be sent away¡­¡± Zhao Hu nodded: ¡°Understood.¡± When Zhao Renzhou mentioned sending them away, Naturally, he meant sending them to meet the Bear King¡­ No matter what, they had handled guns before. And they weren¡¯t Bear King¡¯s trusted men. When the Shan State side comes to attack, giving them guns each would be perfect cannon fodder¡­ Zhao Renzhou patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder. Then he walked back to the jeep. On Zhao Hu¡¯s side, he waved his hand, instructing his subordinates to load the car. They loaded those boxes of golden jewellery and gems¡­ And boxes of money¡­ All loaded into the car¡­ This was only a small part. The real treasure was the immovable properties belonging to the Bear King¡¯s men,like factories,like villages. They hadn¡¯t taken over all of them yet. But when Zhao Renzhou¡¯s AKMs arrived, It would be almost complete. Chapter 20 Chapter 20: Selling Crystal Meth to the Free Nation, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s CautionWhen they arrived, Four vans were filled with armed personnel. When they left, The vans were loaded with treasures of gold and silver. Zhao Renzhou left Zhao Hu to watch over it. This decision was based on deep consideration. He couldn¡¯t handle everything himself. He needed to train some people first. To serve as the generals guarding this area. Otherwise, for matters like this, He would have to lead the team personally. That would be very troublesome¡­ He wanted to be the one behind the scenes. It wouldn¡¯t be good to keep showing his face. In the future development, He needed to slowly eliminate his traces. Not leaving behind any photos. Then create a legitimate business identity for himself. Let his subordinates handle the public affairs. Indeed, he had learned a valuable lesson from his past life¡­ The convoy sped along the road. First, they arrived at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s villa. Just like Chen Jinlong, Zhao Renzhou also had his own separate villa. But it wasn¡¯t as luxurious as Chen Jinlong¡¯s. After having people move all the gold inside, He instructed them to wait outside. Zhao Renzhou then took all the boxes containing gold, silver, and jewels. He broke them all down and absorbed them into the armory space. Transforming them into energy¡­ The armory space could absorb anything. It was just a matter of energy conversion efficiency. Absorbing ordinary land and money underfoot had almost no conversion rate. It was just dirt and paper¡­ But if what he absorbed and broke down were rare earth minerals, gold coins.That was a different story¡­ As several large boxes disappeared, The armory space replenished its energy. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s consciousness entered it. Among the stars formed by countless weapons, He unlocked quite a few weapons. Among them, the most significant were the MG3 light machine gun. And mortars. And most importantly, a diluted version of the basic soldier serum¡­ These three items were like heavy artillery. With those two earlier, Even if it was the armed forces in the Shan State region, Or even the government army, if they saw a row of mortars lined up. ¡°Needless to say, we should consider this carefully¡­ Not to mention everyone having an AKM¡­¡± ¡°And the one at the back¡­¡± ¡°Provides a doubling of physical attributes¡­¡± As for firearms, Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t unlock anything new. Mainly because it wasn¡¯t necessary. In terms of resistance, the AKM was the way to go¡­ After absorbing all the gold, There were only a few boxes of money left. And the finished crystal meth. Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t continue to manage them; he left them for now. He took out a vial of diluted basic soldier serum. There was no other choice. Currently, this was all he could unlock. In the future, when he had enough energy, he could unlock higher-level ones. One vial of serum. Injected into his body. Zhao Renzhou felt his whole body heating up. His muscles were wildly squirming and tearing.Then rapidly healing and growing after tearing. Thighs, waist, chest muscles, back muscles, arms¡­ His entire body was filled with that refreshing sensation¡­ The entire process lasted for three minutes. Before gradually fading away. And Zhao Renzhou felt that his body had been strengthened in every aspect. Here¡¯s the translation of the next part of the text: Although his physique hadn¡¯t changed significantly, His basic physical attributes had at least multiplied several times. He had experienced this sensation in his previous life. Of course. He couldn¡¯t reach the level of Captain America. He would still die if he fell from a few dozen floors. But it wouldn¡¯t be a problem in the future when he unlocked higher-level soldier serums¡­ Afterward, Zhao Renzhou informed Zhao Bao to lead the convoy to the same place as last time. He himself rode with the convoy. Heading there first. Preparing to take out all the weapons and equipment. S~?a??h the N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. With the MG3 light machine gun and mortars in place, They would have no worries for now. It just so happened that today some funds had arrived. These were the funds sent by the trusted aide of his original self who had been sent outside for shipping before the betrayal by Chen Jinlong. The money was from a shipment. The stolen goods from that shipment were sold to Australia by his original self, Zhao Renzhou. But now, Zhao Renzhou wouldn¡¯t be selling to Australia anymore. All future supplies would be sold to the Free Nation¡­ He would deal with the driver in partnership¡­ ¡°This account will be settled sooner or later¡­ The current timeline is more than ten years ahead of the original world. It¡¯s enough time for Zhao Renzhou to develop. When the conflicts between the driver and the Russians intensify, He¡¯ll add fuel to the fire¡­ Chapter 21 Chapter 21: Chi Yunmeng¡¯s Call with Her Sister and Zhao Renzhou¡¯s ArrivalIt was still the familiar path. A few miles away from the border. Zhao Renzhou was the first to arrive. He went alone to that place, seemingly worn-down. Where the weapons produced in the arms depot were stored. He released them all. Thirty MG3 light machine guns. Five hundred AKM automatic rifles. Two hundred and fifty thousand rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. Ten mortar launchers. Four hundred rounds of mortar shells. The large crates containing these weapons. The worn-down buildings couldn¡¯t contain them all. They even spilled outside. Zhao Renzhou opened two large crates. Brand new MG3 light machine guns. Were displayed within. Ten were packed in one crate. Together with the massive crate. Weighing nearly three hundred pounds. Surprisingly, Zhao Renzhou, who had been injected with the serum for junior soldiers, simply pushed it lightly with his foot. And it moved to the side. After moving the two large crates aside. Zhao Renzhou opened the innermost crate. Brand new mortar launchers appeared before his eyes. Zhao Renzhou touched them and then sat on the edge of a crate. From one of the crates in front of him, He took out an MG3 light machine gun. He generated bullets directly from the arms depot within his spatial storage. This was one of the ways he used his spatial ability. He could deploy weapons from the arms depot in his immediate vicinity. And place the bullets directly into nearby magazines. It was akin to having unlimited ammunition¡­ More than ten minutes later. Zhao Bao¡¯s convoy from the other side. Rushed to the scene. The sky had already darkened. Zhao Bao got out of the car. Approaching the jeep, he asked: ¡°Did the big brother go ahead?¡± He received an affirmative answer. Zhao Bao ordered his subordinates to rest in place. He himself headed towards the dilapidated buildings. After walking for a while, He saw the worn-down building. Then, in the moonlight, he looked outside. Where many large crates were piled up. Some of them were already opened. But it was a bit far, and he couldn¡¯t make out what it was. However, he did see a silhouette sitting on a crate. Zhao Bao called out: ¡°Big brother!¡± Then he jogged over. As he approached, He saw Zhao Renzhou holding something and turning to look at him. When Zhao Bao got closer, His whole body¡¯s hair stood on end: ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± His scalp tingled. He hadn¡¯t paid attention earlier. But now that he was closer, he could see clearly. Was his big brother holding a machine gun?! My goodness. Was that thing pointed at him just now?! His gaze shifted to the side. And he was even more captivated. Light machine guns? Mortar launchers? AKM automatic rifles? So many?! Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but swallow hard. His voice, somewhat suppressed with excitement, said: ¡°Big brother¡­.¡± ¡°Are these all ours?!¡± Zhao Renzhou smiled and replied: ¡°Otherwise?¡± Zhao Renzhou tossed the MG3 light machine gun he was holding: ¡°How about giving it a try?¡± Zhao Bao looked at the thrown machine gun. His eyes widened. He quickly caught it. S~?a??h the N???lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Running his hand along the gun¡¯s body. A string of golden bullets hung from the gun. They swayed with Zhao Bao¡¯s movements. Zhao Renzhou said: ¡°This thing.¡± ¡°Ahu should like it.¡± Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but nod. With his brother¡¯s brash personality, he probably would sleep with this thing¡­ Although Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao were brothers, there were significant differences in their physique and personalities. Zhao Hu looked like the type of tough, gangster-style enforcer. Zhao Bao was somewhat more scholarly. But he was also quite ruthless when needed. Otherwise, Zhao Renzhou wouldn¡¯t have taken a liking to him. After bringing it from their homeland, Zhao Bao played with the MG3 light machine gun for a while before setting it down: ¡°Big brother.¡± ¡°These must have cost quite a bit, right?¡± Zhao Renzhou said: ¡°Money doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°The goods we plundered earlier.¡± ¡°Have already been sold.¡± ¡°In a few days, Ah Zhan and Ah Ning will return.¡± ¡°Wait for them to come back.¡± ¡°Then we¡¯ll move to take over So and his gang¡¯s territory.¡± After annihilating So and his gang at noon, They went straight to the Bear King¡¯s territory. Their manpower is currently insufficient. They couldn¡¯t manage to take over So¡¯s territory right away. Zhao Renzhou planned to recruit more people. And then, when the other two trusted subordinates returned in a few days, They would make their move. Ah Zhan and Ah Ning, whom Zhao Renzhou mentioned, were siblings. They were also brought from their hometown. Originally, they had chosen seven people in total. But only these four survived in the end¡­ A smile appeared on Zhao Bao¡¯s face: ¡°When they come back,¡± ¡°They¡¯ll probably be in for a big surprise.¡± Not to mention anything else, Just the fact that everyone had an AKM. They would probably need to rub their eyes to believe it. Did they wander into the wrong base¡­ Zhao Renzhou smiled and stood up from the crate: ¡°Then let¡¯s give them a surprise.¡± ¡°Call for the workers.¡± Zhao Bao nodded: ¡°Yes!¡± He placed the MG3 light machine gun he was holding back down. Then he took out the walkie-talkie from his waist. And began to call for the workers. Late at night. Behind Ga Wei Town. In a villa estate. Chi Yunmeng, who was being held here by Zhao Renzhou, Was currently on the phone with her sister back in Longguo¡­ In a bedroom on the second floor, Chi Yunmeng was wearing a nightgown. A white silk dress that barely reached her thighs. With the slightest movement, One could catch a glimpse of The fair expanse of her skin underneath¡­ She reclined on the bed. Not caring in the least that she might be exposed. After all¡­ It wasn¡¯t her choice to dress this way¡­ But Zhao Renzhou only provided her with these kinds of clothes¡­ She was even left with just her socks¡­ Her shoes were taken away too¡­ At this moment, Chi Yunmeng¡¯s brows slightly furrowed: ¡°What? She¡¯s sick?¡± ¡°Is it severe?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°No problem.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send the money tomorrow¡­¡± Click, click¡ª The handle at the bedroom door turned, And Zhao Renzhou walked in¡­ Chapter 22 Chapter 22-Two: Chi Yunmeng¡¯s Embarrassment in Front of Her Brother?Zhao Renzhou walked in and saw Chi Yunmeng in a white silk dress reclining on the bed. He walked straight towards her, with her exposed figure catching his attention. Meanwhile, Chi Yunmeng was on the phone and, upon hearing movement at the door, instinctively grabbed the center of her white silk dress and pulled it down when she saw it was Zhao Renzhou. She slowly let her hand go and continued to focus on her phone call. As Zhao Renzhou approached, he lay down on the bed, moving his body around a bit after injecting the serum for junior soldiers. His body wasn¡¯t tired, but he needed some mental relaxation. He reached out and pulled Chi Yunmeng, who was still on the phone, towards him. Chi Yunmeng was taken off guard and was pressed against Zhao Renzhou. ¡°Eh!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng clenched her lips tightly, determined not to let her younger sister on the other end of the phone detect anything unusual. Dragon Country. Jinghai City. Jinghai Medical University. On the balcony of the dormitory. Dressed in a pale yellow nightgown. Her features bore some resemblance to Chi Yunmeng¡¯s. But she appeared even more innocent, more delicate ¨C she was Chi Yunxi. Her face quickly flushed red. Her breath involuntarily quickened. She gently bit her lip. Ah ah ah ah ah¡ª¡ª! How could her sister¡­ How could she¡­ be doing that¡­ Ah! Chi Yunxi found herself subtly regretting making this phone call. She wasn¡¯t an entirely clueless child. Ever since enrolling in Jinghai Medical University, she had gained knowledge in that area. She had even watched videos secretly with her best friend¡­ Though Chi Yunmeng on the other end of the phone tried to suppress it vigorously, Chi Yunxi, how could she possibly not hear it! It was just too obvious, wasn¡¯t it?! Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Chi Yunxi listened to her sister¡¯s strenuously suppressed sounds on the other end, stuttering as she replied: ¡°Yeah¡­ right¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­.¡± ¡°You can relax¡­.¡± ¡°Okay¡­.¡± ¡°Sis! You go ahead and do your thing!¡± ¡°I¡¯m hanging up!¡± Chi Yunxi quickly hung up the phone. She held the phone to her chest. Her face was bright red¡­ She took several deep breaths to calm herself¡­ Next time¡­. Next time! She would definitely not make a late-night call! Absolutely not! Hmm¡­. What Chi Yunxi didn¡¯t know was that if Zhao Renzhou on the other end wasn¡¯t busy during the day, a daytime call¡­ would also be unavoidable¡­ Chi Yunxi slapped her cheeks. She let out a sigh of relief. Turning, she opened the balcony door. Returning to the dormitory. Seeing Chi Yunxi coming back. The classmate who lived in the bunk above Chi Yunxi whispered, ¡°Yunxi, have you managed to gather the money?¡± Chi Yunxi sat down by the window and replied, ¡°I¡¯ve gathered it.¡± ¡°My sister will send it to me tomorrow.¡± But deep down, she couldn¡¯t help but feel guilty. Because Chi Yunxi had lied to Chi Yunmeng. Nobody in their family was sick. She had been scammed. She had signed a loan contract she couldn¡¯t repay. She didn¡¯t dare to tell her parents. She had no choice but to turn to her sister, who hadn¡¯t been home for several years. Sometimes Chi Yunxi wondered. Her sister used to send money back home every month. But why hadn¡¯t she come back all this time¡­ Until just now¡­ Thinking about her sister¡¯s suppressed sounds¡­ It couldn¡¯t be that she was being manipulated¡­ No, no! Chi Yunxi quickly shook her head. She couldn¡¯t bear to think further. It couldn¡¯t be true! Chi Yunxi¡¯s roommate from the upper bunk felt guilty and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Yunxi.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all my fault¡­¡± ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the part-time job I found¡­¡± Chi Yunxi took a deep breath and said, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Although she said it lightly, trying to comfort her roommate, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a pang in her heart. That was ten thousand yuan¡­ She and her roommate had initially planned to find a part-time job during the vacation. But they ended up getting scammed while in a daze. They signed a loan contract and bought work supplies. But after only a few days of work, the debt collectors started calling. They had borrowed only a thousand yuan, and it had suddenly turned into three thousand. They even threatened that if they reported it to the police, people would come to their school and create a scene, continuing until they dropped out. Neither of them dared to speak up. Under this cycle of debt and interest, within a week, it had become ten thousand yuan. Her roommate couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and confessed to her family. They scraped together ten thousand yuan, but she received a scolding. As for Chi Yunxi, she didn¡¯t dare to tell her family¡­ They had no choice but to turn to their sister. Fortunately, the money would arrive tomorrow. They would give it to the scammers, get the contract back, and hopefully put an end to this ordeal¡­ Chi Yunxi¡¯s roommate from the upper bunk said, ¡°Let¡¯s hope there won¡¯t be any surprises tomorrow¡­¡± Chi Yunxi was puzzled, ¡°Surprises?¡± ¡°What kind of surprises?¡± Her roommate from the upper bunk whispered, ¡°You¡¯re not from Jinghai.¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t know.¡± ¡°My dad looked into it.¡± ¡°These loan sharks who scam people¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re under Dao Ge.¡± ¡°This Dao Ge suddenly emerged in the past few years.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the head of the largest underworld organization in Jinghai¡­¡± ¡°And also¡­¡± ¡°There are rumors¡­¡± ¡°That this Dao Ge¡­¡± ¡°Is actually part of the Strong Prosperity Group¡­¡± Chi Yunxi couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes, ¡°No way?!¡± ¡°The Strong Prosperity Group?¡± ¡°Our school is funded by the Strong Prosperity Group, isn¡¯t it?¡± S?a??h th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Was the school in cahoots with the underworld organization? Chi Yunxi¡¯s roommate whispered, ¡°It¡¯s all information we gathered.¡± ¡°It might not be entirely accurate.¡± ¡°But we¡¯ve gathered enough money.¡± ¡°We should be fine.¡± However, deep down, they were still anxious. After all, the more they found out, the more afraid they became. Especially with the rampant underworld organization in the area, it was only natural to be scared. Chi Yunxi nodded, ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± ¡°We should be fine.¡± ¡°Now, get some sleep.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already past midnight¡­¡± With a heavy heart, Chi Yunxi lay down¡­ Northern Myanmar. Gawe Town. Villa. Chi Yunmeng watched as the number on her phone disconnected. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. No more suppression. But at the same time, she felt a bit defiant: ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Suddenly, Chi Yunmeng clenched her teeth tightly, not wanting to make a sound, as if she were resisting Zhao Renzhou. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s tone was somewhat playful, ¡°Will your little sister on the phone ever think,¡± ¡°That her dearest sister¡­¡± ¡°Is actually¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but blush in shame, ¡°You¡­ bastard¡­¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, ¡°Is your little sister short on money?¡± ¡°Is that amount enough?¡± Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but frown, biting her lip tightly. She felt that something was off about today¡¯s events, but she couldn¡¯t quite put her finger on it. If there were someone in her family who was ill, not telling her to avoid worrying about her would make sense. But¡­ She was still contemplating something. However, Chi Yunmeng soon found herself unable to concentrate and think clearly¡­. A night of turmoil¡­ Chapter 23 Chapter 23: Chi Yunmeng¡¯s Deep Red Silk Dress and Her Sister¡¯s Peculiar BehaviorThe next day, when Chi Yunmeng woke up, it was already 2:00 in the afternoon. She felt utterly exhausted, with sore cheeks. She raised a jade-white arm to prop herself up and saw that Zhao Renzhou was nowhere to be found. She was alone in the room again. Her torn white silk nightdress lay on the floor, and on the bedside table nearby, there was a similarly styled but deep red lace nightdress. On top of it was a note that read, ¡°Money has been wired.¡± Chi Yunmeng picked up the note, crumpled it, and threw it away. She leaned back on the bed. Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but grit her teeth. This jerk really thought nothing of her. He came and left as he pleased, without even taking the time to talk. With an impatient gesture, she muttered to herself, annoyed. She swept the deep red lace nightdress onto the floor and searched for her phone. She dialed her sister Chi Yunxi. In Dragon Country, Jinghai City, outside a tall building, Chi Yunxi and her roommate walked arm in arm, feeling relieved as they exited the building. Each of them held a contract in their hands. It wasn¡¯t until they were outside that the nervous tension on their faces began to ease. Chi Yunxi¡¯s roommate couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s finally over. Those people were so intimidating. Thankfully, nothing unexpected happened.¡± Thinking about the intimidating members of the underworld organization who filled the room, smoking and exuding an air of menace, both of them couldn¡¯t help but shudder. Fortunately, they had given them the money, and they had retrieved the contract. Chi Yunxi nodded and said, ¡°Yeah, you¡¯re right. Let¡¯s not look for part-time jobs in the future. Let¡¯s focus on our studies.¡± Suddenly, her phone rang. Chi Yunxi picked it up and saw her sister¡¯s number. She answered the call. ¡°Sis.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you!¡± ¡°Everything is really okay on my end.¡± ¡°You can rest assured!¡± ¡°Sis.¡± ¡°Why does your voice sound a bit hoarse?¡± ¡°Have some water.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Hello?¡± On the other end, Chi Yunmeng suddenly hung up after a few words, leaving Chi Yunxi baffled. What happened? If her throat was hoarse, she should drink water, right? Why was she upset? Chi Yunxi¡¯s knowledge base hadn¡¯t covered this, so she had no idea why her sister got irritated when she mentioned that. Her roommate asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Your sister¡¯s phone call,¡± her roommate said. Chi Yunxi nodded, ¡°Yeah.¡± Her roommate looked envious and said, ¡°Wow! Yunxi, what does your sister do? I¡¯ve never heard you mention it. She just gave you fifty thousand yuan like it¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s not like me. I had to scrape together ten thousand yuan, and my family scolded me. I guess all my pocket money for these past few years is gone¡­¡± Yesterday, Chi Yunxi had asked for ten thousand yuan, but today her bank account suddenly had an additional fifty thousand yuan. It surprised both Chi Yunxi and her roommate. Her sister must be really rich! This piqued her roommate¡¯s curiosity, and upon hearing her roommate¡¯s questioning, Chi Yunxi thought about last night¡¯s phone call and her sister¡¯s suppressed voice. She couldn¡¯t help but blush and said, ¡°Uh? Well, I don¡¯t really know. My sister is quite mysterious. She hasn¡¯t come back for four or five years.¡± ¡°It seems like she¡¯s overseas,¡± Chi Yunxi replied. ¡°I don¡¯t really know what she does exactly¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!¡± she continued. ¡°Let¡¯s get back to school quickly.¡± Her roommate just realized where they were. They quickly left. In the high-rise building behind them, the members of the underworld organization who had provided the loan for Chi Yunxi and her roommate¡¯s room were standing by the window, watching them leave. A newly recruited member couldn¡¯t help but speak up, ¡°Big brother, are we just letting them go like this? They¡¯re so beautiful¡­ What a waste¡­¡± He had only joined a few days ago and had already enjoyed various pleasures. He had tasted the flavors of different women. However, seeing such beautiful female college students like Chi Yunxi and her roommate was a first for him. The bald leader, equivalent to the boss, said, ¡°What¡¯s the rush? Good goods need time to mature. That¡¯s when it gets interesting¡­ The contracts we gave them are fake. Wait for the interest to accumulate to a hundred thousand after some time.¡± ¡°Find them again¡­¡± the bald leader said. ¡°When the time comes, won¡¯t they be at my mercy? I can do whatever I want. Remember, we¡¯re a legitimate company. We use contracts to communicate. Everything is clearly stated in black and white.¡± ¡°If she doesn¡¯t repay on time, is it my fault if the interest accumulates to a hundred thousand? As for what to do if she can¡¯t repay, it¡¯s all voluntary¡­¡± The newly recruited member couldn¡¯t help but nod. He had learned something new. You could do things like this too¡­ He couldn¡¯t help but look at the backs of Chi Yunxi and her roommate as they left and silently thought, ¡°I¡¯ll get to enjoy my ¡®soup¡¯ sooner or later. No need to rush. No need to rush¡­¡± Little did he know that because of this, they would face a hellish scenario in the future. Not only did they fail to get Chi Yunxi and her roommate, but they also lost their superior, the famous ¡®Brother Dao¡¯ in Jinghai City. Her kneecaps had been dug out. She would be wheelchair-bound for life¡­ On the other side, in Northern Burma, in the town of Gawei, at the villa. After hanging up the phone, Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but furrow her brows. Her throat was indeed a bit hoarse¡­ That jerk¡­ She lifted the covers and got out of bed, her body exposed to the sunlight, looking exceptionally fair. S?a?ch* Th? N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chi Yunmeng glanced at the deep red lace nightdress on the floor, took a deep breath. She couldn¡¯t just go out like this¡­ She bent down to pick it up and pulled it over herself. It felt particularly silky, just as she had expected. It had only reached her thighs when she cursed under her breath at this doggone thing. Then, she remembered something. She hadn¡¯t seen any food on the bedside table. Since that was the case¡­ Chi Yunmeng walked to the door and tried turning the handle. Indeed, the door opened¡­ There was a hint of joy on Chi Yunmeng¡¯s face. Could it be¡­ she wasn¡¯t going to be kept captive anymore?! Chapter 24 Chapter 24: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Codename: GeneralThis room. It had been locked from the outside for several days. Just a moment ago, she hadn¡¯t seen any food. She pondered whether to give it a try. Would the door really open? But as she glanced down at herself, Chiyun Meng hesitated once more. Because¡­ From head to toe, The only piece of fabric on her Was this deep red lace nightgown. It barely reached her thighs. How could she go out like this? Although she knew that the villa¡¯s servants were all female employees who had been hired, But¡­ Chiyun Meng took a deep breath. They were all women. Looking at her wouldn¡¯t matter. She had had enough of this room. It was still better than being held captive¡­ She pushed the door open. Chiyun Meng saw several busy maids. They were doing their daily cleaning and chores. When they saw her coming out, They quickly greeted her, and Chiyun Meng responded with a forced calmness, though her face couldn¡¯t help but blush. ¡°When did Zhao Renzhou leave?¡± she asked. One of the maids replied, ¡°Mr. Zhao left at ten o¡¯clock.¡± Chiyun Meng nodded and said, ¡°Prepare some food and bring it up.¡± Then she turned and walked back into the room. This outfit¡­ It was just too embarrassing. She could hardly bear it¡­ That Zhao Renzhou, how could he be so¡­ Damn it! On the other side, at the Gawei Town base, Zhao Renzhou was directing several welders in modifying a pickup truck. They were welding a one-centimeter-thick steel plate onto the front of the vehicle to provide frontal protection. They didn¡¯t leave any areas exposed, even welding plates onto the two front wheels. On the front hood, they attached two flamethrowers, connected to the rear compartment. At the top of the driver¡¯s seat, They had welded two slots, On which two MG3 light machine guns were placed. It was unmistakably an armed weapon, A killing tool ready to massacre once it charged into a crowd. As the armed pickup truck took shape, Zhao Bao returned with equipment. To prevent any unexpected events, he had sent 100 AKM rifles to Zhao Hu¡¯s team and six MG3 light machine guns. They also received four mortars, along with plenty of ammunition and shells. Even if they were short on manpower, they wouldn¡¯t be at a disadvantage if any armed groups from the Shan State came looking for trouble. When Zhao Bao returned, he saw this massive weapon standing in the center of the base and couldn¡¯t help but be astonished. Zhao Renzhou asked, ¡°What do you think?¡± Zhao Bao walked around the armed pickup truck and replied, ¡°It¡¯s fantastic. A mobile fortress, huh?¡± Zhao Renzhou smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s not bad, mainly intended to intimidate. We¡¯ll weld three more later.¡± ¡°From now on, we¡¯ll use these vehicles for patrolling in the town,¡± Zhao Renzhou said. ¡°When it comes to this thing, if we really have to, we can walk all over them. Our equipment on this side of the border is too outdated, so the intimidation factor is significant. It¡¯ll scare the daylights out of anyone.¡± S?a?ch* Th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Bao nodded and said, ¡°Agreed.¡± Zhao Renzhou patted Zhao Bao on the shoulder and said, ¡°Come with me.¡± The two of them walked to a shed in the base, where they took out two bottles of chilled beer, poured them into glasses, and handed one to Zhao Bao. Then, Zhao Renzhou downed his glass in one go, placed it down, and looked at the vast base. ¡°You should register a company,¡± Zhao Renzhou suggested. ¡°Name it ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group.¡¯ The main focus will be security-related work. Design the logo with the initials ¡®GT¡¯ to differentiate the group from the organization. In essence, it¡¯s like giving the organization a shell, a proper identity.¡± ¡°In the future, when discussing any collaborations, we can negotiate both legitimate and illicit ventures,¡± Zhao Renzhou explained. ¡°But all operations will still be handled by our organization. We¡¯ll establish an employer-employee relationship. As we grow and face international or national pressure, it will be most convenient to shift the blame through this employer-employee relationship.¡± Zhao Bao nodded and asked, ¡°What about the legal representative? Should we use your real name or a pseudonym?¡± Zhao Renzhou replied, ¡°Let¡¯s use a pseudonym for the legal representative.¡± He turned and smiled, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s name it¡­¡± ¡°General.¡± That¡¯s right. There was no name prefix, just the word ¡°General,¡± representing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s ambition and his unwavering determination. The Golden Triangle may not be a large place, but it had quite a few ¡°Generals¡± like General Luo, General Naimi, General Nokang, General Khunsa, and so on. However, in the future, these Generals with prefixes would all be swept into the trash heap by Zhao Renzhou, leaving only one¡­ General. Chapter 25 Chapter 25: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Plan, Profiting from the Free StateZhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but take in a sharp breath, ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± ¡°General.¡± Just two words, and he could already sense his older brother¡¯s ambition. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a surge of excitement. ¡°No problem,¡± Zhao Bao said. ¡°I¡¯ll handle it this afternoon.¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded and continued, ¡°In the future, the group and the organization will be separate. All actions will be governed by contracts. Proper personnel management in this area is essential. If it doesn¡¯t work out, I¡¯ll go back to Longguo in a while. I¡¯ll find some professional personnel. From now on, the organization will only export raw materials.¡± The earlier points were manageable, but when it came to only exporting raw materials, Zhao Bao was a bit puzzled, ¡°Only exporting raw materials? What about our factories¡­?¡± The price difference between raw materials and finished products, like rock sugar, was quite significant. Doing it this way would undoubtedly result in a significant loss of money. Zhao Renzhou said: ¡°Once we¡¯ve sold the raw materials for this quarter,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll convert the money into gold.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go and get an AK production line.¡± ¡°By then, we¡¯ll transform the entire factory.¡± ¡°Into a military production line.¡± ¡°While selling ice sugar yields massive profits,¡± ¡°When it comes to facing the entire country one day,¡± ¡°It could all go up in smoke.¡± ¡°Only by possessing genuine military weaponry,¡± ¡°Can we avoid being manipulated¡­¡± ¡°So from now on¡­¡± ¡°We won¡¯t just sell raw materials,¡± ¡°But we¡¯ll also sell military arms¡­¡± ¡°Become the largest arms dealer in Asia¡­¡± In his previous life, Zhao Renzhou, Used the conflict between the driver and the Russians, To exploit the military arms market. Establishing a secret military factory, Making money on both sides. Thinking back to those days now, It was truly exhilarating¡­ It was even more profitable than selling ice sugar¡­ One AKM could fetch as much as two thousand Freedom Coins. Not to mention those customized rocket-propelled grenades. The lowest-priced one, Cost several tens of thousands of Freedom Coins. But he made too much money. Directly influencing the course of the war. The Russians, who initially had their supply lines cut off, He ended up supplying them¡­ Although he made a lot of money, He was double-crossed. The driver even sacrificed a base, To get him out of there¡­ Don¡¯t be fooled by the swagger of these Golden Triangle drug lords today. That¡¯s because they haven¡¯t provoked the right people. In his previous life, those drug lords who ruled the Golden Triangle, Once they truly angered the government, Faced the overwhelming power of the nation, This general and that general¡­ All disappeared without a trace¡­ Having money alone was useless¡­ Weapons were in high demand. s?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. With planes and tanks in action, They couldn¡¯t put up a fight. Zhao Renzhou understood this well. So, he planned to set up an AK production line first. Getting his hands on some AKs in the meantime. After all, he had only occupied three towns for now. Having guns was enough. When he eventually defeated Minden, Occupying the entire Kexin Republic, Then he couldn¡¯t do without airplanes and cannons. Tanks, rocket launchers, and armed helicopters were all on the agenda. His goals were not limited to Kexin Republic, nor just the Golden Triangle. He had to expand and become strong on an international scale. As soon as Zhao Renzhou outlined his complete plan, Zhao Bao had no objections: ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have them stop working soon,¡± Zhao Bao said. Zhao Renzhou nodded and said, ¡°As for the raw materials¡­ We¡¯ll start selling them to Mexico. Most of the raw materials in Mexico are imported from Latin America. We can grab a share of that market.¡± A wry smile tugged at the corner of Zhao Bao¡¯s mouth: ¡°Mexico¡­ that¡¯s quite a distance. If we¡¯re competing in that market, we might earn less.¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled, ¡°That doesn¡¯t really matter. Our raw materials will definitely break even, and their value is there for all to see. The most important thing is that Mexico sells its ice sugar to the Free Republic. That reason alone is sufficient. Chapter 26 Chapter 26: Zhao Hu¡¯s Dark Past and Zhao Ning¡¯s Advantage!Since Zhao Renzhou had said so, Zhao Bao had no objections: ¡°Okay, no problem.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll contact the people in Mexico later.¡± Although less money was made from the original materials, The New Kingdom had eighteen towns. Zhao Renzhou did this. He first merged Xiong Wang¡¯s territory. In these two days, Zhao Hu led his people. Planting flags everywhere. The original Xiong Wang¡¯s territory. Has been mostly taken over. And over at Suo and their side, They are currently in the midst of internal strife. The main reason is when Suo died, He brought a large group of elites with him. They were all wiped out. The remaining subordinates, those of the third or fourth tier, Who would be loyal? Everyone wants to be the boss. On that very night, they began to vie for power and profit. It wasn¡¯t until they heard that Zhao Renzhou¡¯s people had occupied Xiong Wang¡¯s territory, That things finally quieted down. Actively preparing for battle. Afraid that Zhao Renzhou would come to attack. Meanwhile, Zhao Renzhou, was waiting for Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning, the siblings, to return. The reason why he hasn¡¯t cleaned up that side yet is because he¡¯s short on manpower. The original organization members followed Chen Jinlong and died in a wave. Afterward, another group went to attack Xiong Wang¡¯s side. Although they¡¯ve also recruited people over there, The core group still needs to be their own. They have been sending equipment and dispatching personnel gradually. So right now, Zhao Renzhou can¡¯t spare any forces. He just needs to wait for Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning to come back with the goods. When they left, they also took some people with them. Although not many, just over ten. But they¡¯re considered the core. Each person can command seven or eight others, which is decent. Their combat strength has increased instantly. Combined with the hundreds of AKs they have on hand, as well as those light machine guns and mortars, Attacking Suo and their base is more than manageable. As a result, after occupying three towns, Although they¡¯re making less money from selling raw materials, Those are the total output of three towns. It has tripled. Overall, they¡¯re still making a profit. Zhao Renzhou nodded: ¡°Let¡¯s go with this for now.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s take it slow with the rest.¡± ¡°After we¡¯ve recruited everyone, we can proceed with further planning.¡± ¡°Oh, by the way.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the average wage in Northern Myanmar?¡± Zhao Bao thought for a moment: ¡°It¡¯s not much.¡± ¡°The few maids at Chen Jinlong¡¯s villa.¡± ¡°20,000 Burmese kyats per month should suffice.¡± ¡°That¡¯s considered high.¡± s?a??h th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°It¡¯s about 700 Dragon Nation coins when converted.¡± Zhao Renzhou was somewhat surprised: ¡°So little?¡± Zhao Renzhou thought for a moment: ¡°Here¡¯s the deal.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll organise the recruitment of combat personnel.¡± ¡°Offer them 150,000 Burmese kyats per month (about 500 Dragon Nation coins).¡± ¡°For each mission, reward them based on the mission¡¯s circumstances.¡± ¡°The maximum reward will be 150,000 Burmese kyats.¡± ¡°For those who die on a mission.¡± ¡°Provide their families with 1.5 million Burmese kyats (about 5,000 Dragon Nation coins).¡± Is it too harsh? That¡¯s really tough. A human life is only worth 5,000. It¡¯s not even as valuable as an AKM rifle. But in Northern Myanmar, Zhao Renzhou is truly a fair employer. With the government¡¯s decline, The most direct consequence is that human lives become cheap. Many armed factions or major drug lords, Apart from a few core members most of the grassroots are controlled by force, and if they die, they die. They just grab a bunch to fill in. It¡¯s not like this¡­ Zhao Renzhou continued: ¡°Establish strict rules and regulations.¡± ¡°Manage the entire organization in a military manner.¡± ¡°In the future, recruit a group of retired special forces from Free Nation, Maoguo, and Dragon Nation.¡± ¡°Train the members in three tiers.¡± ¡°By then, you, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Zhan will each oversee one.¡± ¡°Otherwise, it¡¯ll be too loose.¡± ¡°Dominating this border is no problem.¡± ¡°But when facing regular armies,¡± ¡°They won¡¯t be up to the task for sure.¡± Previously, he had noticed that these people below, Were solely relying on their fierceness in battle . They had no tactics, plans, nothing. Fortunately, Xiong Wang¡¯s equipment was subpar. They relied on better equipment to prevail. If it weren¡¯t for those RPGs, They wouldn¡¯t have been able to take Yabeizhen, indeed. Not to mention that in the future, they¡¯re destined to confront the three countries¡¯ governments. Without organizational cohesion, They¡¯re bound to fall apart at the first touch. So Zhao Renzhou plans to implement strict military management from the outset. A warlord with his own military factories, Versus drug lords who rely on selling rock sugar. Can they be compared? How many divisions of rock sugar sellers are there? Zhao Renzhou stretched his neck a bit: ¡°This matter isn¡¯t urgent.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s register the company first.¡± ¡°As for the militarization restructuring,¡± ¡°Wait until Ah Zhan and Ah Ning come back.¡± ¡°Once we¡¯ve recruited another batch of mercenaries, we¡¯ll discuss it together.¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t something one or two people can accomplish.¡± ¡°Two heads are better than one.¡± Zhao Bao nodded: ¡°Yes, Big Brother.¡± Zhao Renzhou gave a faint ¡°Hmm¡±: ¡°Alright, you can go ahead.¡± Then, Zhao Bao went to register the company. In the future, It would be an armed group capable of influencing national conflicts. In a small town in Northern Myanmar, Something was being born. Meanwhile, In the Indian Ocean, On the open sea, An old and somewhat decrepit ship sailed on the water. In the largest room on board, Over a dozen people gathered, playing cards. Cigarette butts were scattered all around. Little did this group know that their good days were about to come to an end¡­ Once they returned, they would face militarized management¡­ Among them, a man with a square face and a sturdy build, Relatively young, with an air of righteousness about him, Seemed a bit tired as he stood up and made way. He moved out of the room. On the ship¡¯s second deck, A slightly more dignified man walked up. He approached a sister who was gazing out at the sea. The man¡¯s sister. Short-haired and somewhat fierce-looking, She wore a camo T-shirt and denim shorts. On her long, slender legs, there were two leg holsters, Each strapped to one thigh, With several daggers secured in them. At a glance, she seemed quite formidable. The slightly more dignified man lit a cigarette and asked, ¡°What¡¯s bothering you these past few days? Big Brother¡¯s side is fine, right? He called yesterday.¡± The short-haired beauty furrowed her brows and replied, ¡°Big Brother is fine, but that woman didn¡¯t die, did she? And I asked Zhao Bao, and he said Big Brother has been sleeping there for several days¡­¡± In her words, A distinct hint of jealousy could be felt. Who would have thought that their home was invaded by Chi Yunmeng? Before, these two didn¡¯t even have any contact! How could things change so quickly?! She hadn¡¯t even had a chance to react! The slightly more upright man¡¯s mouth twitched. It seemed there was nothing he could do. With Chi Yunmeng¡¯s appearance, How many men could resist her charms? But he couldn¡¯t say that to his sister. He couldn¡¯t dampen her enthusiasm¡­ The siblings in question were Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning, who had been sent out by Zhao Renzhou to deliver goods. Unlike the ferocity of Zhao Hu or the coldness of Zhao Bao, they were different.The siblings both had upright and heroic faces. At the beginning, because of this, they were often bullied by Zhao Hu. But Zhao Zhan, despite his upright appearance, was quite ruthless. As they gradually grew up, their bouts with Zhao Hu became more evenly matched. Zhao Hu didn¡¯t gain any advantages. Until one day, nobody knows when exactly, Zhao Ning developed feelings for Zhao Renzhou. Zhao Hu became obedient then. After all¡­ Who knows if she might actually become the big sister-in-law¡­ Even though they were all from the same village and shared the same surname Zhao, If you trace back eight generations, The ancestors of these people in their hometown, Had all received great kindness from a certain Zhao surnamed benefactor. They all changed their surnames to Zhao in gratitude. There was no actual blood relation between them. If Zhao Ning suddenly became the big sister-in-law, Zhao Hu would be in an awkward position. So he decided to be obedient right away. He used to call Zhao Zhan ¡°brother¡± and act like a brother, But when he saw Zhao Ning with a troubled expression, Zhao Zhan said, ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it. We¡¯ll be there tomorrow.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when we see Big Brother again,¡± Zhao Zhan said. ¡°Big Brother and Chi Yunmeng¡­ it¡¯s just a fling. You still have the upper hand¡­¡± Looking at his sister, Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t help but let his thoughts wander. In terms of age, He¡¯s younger than Chi Yunmeng. In terms of appearance, He¡¯s younger than Chi Yunmeng. In terms of physique. He¡¯s younger than Chi Yunmeng. In terms of assets.. Alright. He¡¯s younger than Chi Yunmeng. That¡¯s the advantage, after all! Chapter 27 Chapter 27: Coquettish Chi Yunmeng, the Ruthless Zhao RenzhouUpon hearing Zhao Zhan¡¯s words, Zhao Ning squinted his eyes and looked over. ¡°Oh?¡± Zhao Ning said, curious. ¡°What advantages do I have?¡± Zhao Ning inquired further. ¡°Tell me,¡± he continued, giving off an air of certainty that Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t answer. Zhao Zhan swallowed hard, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. ¡°Well, how should I put it¡­¡± Zhao Zhan began hesitantly, ¡°You¡¯re younger than her.¡± ¡°As a man,¡± he added, ¡°no matter how old you are, you prefer younger women. Chi Yunmeng is just taking advantage of these years to flirt with men. In a few years, when she¡¯s older and loses her charm, can Big Brother still want her? When she¡¯s old and faded, you¡¯ll still be in your prime. That¡¯s the advantage.¡± He patted his younger sister¡¯s shoulder as Zhao Zhan didn¡¯t even finish his cigarette before hastily making his exit. While Zhao Ning listened to Zhao Zhan¡¯s analysis, she nodded thoughtfully. However, as Zhao Zhan was about to descend the stairs, Zhao Ning suddenly had a realization. What did he mean by the advantage of age? Are you saying¡­ from head to toe? From face to figure? I don¡¯t have any of that to compare to Chi Yunmeng, that seductive woman! ¡°You stop right there!¡± Zhao Ning stood on the second-floor deck and shouted down at Zhao Zhan, who was hurrying downstairs. Zhao Zhan was so frightened that he rushed into the cabin, leaving Zhao Ning alone on the deck, seething with anger. In the Dragon Nation, in the Tazhai Village¡­ It had been several days since the last meeting. Lin Yaohui, the head of the third branch, had been waiting impatiently, but he received no news. Frustrated, he decided to go directly to Lin Yaodong¡¯s residence. As he entered the ancient and elegant courtyard, Lin Yaohui shouted, ¡°Lin Yaodong! Come out!¡± Lin Yaohui¡¯s face darkened as he stood in front of the door, with members of the third branch positioned behind him one by one. They had an unmistakable air of determination, as if they wouldn¡¯t rest until they got what they wanted. Creak¡­ The door to Lin Yaodong¡¯s room opened, but the first person to step out was not Lin Yaodong; it was his younger brother, Lin Yaohua, who also served as the head of the second branch. Lin Yaohua came out with a cold expression, asking, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Do you want to rebel?!¡± ¡°Hmm?!¡± Lin Yaohua was usually the stern and intimidating figure in the village, so his presence had a certain level of authority. The members of the third branch were momentarily taken aback by his stern demeanor. However, Lin Yaohui was undeterred. He said, ¡°Cut the nonsense! Where¡¯s Lin Yaodong? We must have an explanation today. It¡¯s been days since the meeting! What about the news on Shengwen and Shengwu? Where did he disappear to? Tell him to come out!¡± Lin Yaohua¡¯s face darkened even more, and he pointed at Lin Yaohui as if they were about to come to blows. But then, a dispassionate voice came from behind them. ¡°Yaohua.¡± It was Lin Yaodong¡¯s voice. Upon hearing it, Lin Yaohua let out a cold snort and lowered his arm. Lin Yaodong emerged from the room. Lin Yaodong spoke leisurely, ¡°Why did you bring so many people? Do you want to fight? Do you still not respect me as the village head?¡± Standing before the room, Lin Yaodong looked at the crowd. Nobody said a word, but they all felt an immense pressure sweeping over them. Lin Yaohui fixed his gaze on Lin Yaodong and said through gritted teeth, ¡°What happened to Shengwen and Shengwu? Give me a straightforward answer. We can¡¯t wait aimlessly like this. If there¡¯s no news, I¡¯m taking people to the Northern Myanmar headquarters!¡± Lin Yaodong¡¯s face darkened, and he scolded, ¡°Do you think Northern Myanmar is a safe place? We¡¯ve already lost a group of people there! You, as the head of the third branch, want to send more? The two previous groups we sent to Northern Myanmar all met with accidents.¡± ¡°Ordinary roles won¡¯t cut it anymore,¡± Lin Yaodong stated firmly. ¡°I¡¯m trying to contact Mindeng. Within three days, I¡¯ll get back to you. Take your people and go back.¡± Lin Yaohui¡¯s expression changed drastically, but he didn¡¯t argue. He hadn¡¯t expected the situation to escalate to this point. They had to contact Mindeng, someone well-versed in the affairs of the Golden Triangle. Mindeng had risen to prominence in recent years, rivaling the old-guard generals of the drug trade. He held sway over most of Kachin State in Northern Myanmar. Things had gotten so bad that Lin Yaodong had no choice. He had done all he could. Reluctantly, Lin Yaohui clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Fine. Three days, just three days¡­¡± He stared intensely at Lin Yaodong. They withdrew with their group. As they watched the members of the third branch depart, Lin Yaohua sneered dismissively, ¡°What a bunch¡­¡± Lin Yaodong remained silent, his face cold, and he turned back into the room. The next day, in Northern Myanmar, Kachin State, in the town of Gawe, at a villa on the second floor, a gentle morning breeze rustled through the room. Shards of a deep red dress lay scattered on the floor, lightly moving with the breeze. The two people in the bed were fast asleep. The ringing of a cellphone interrupted the tranquility. Zhao Renzhou immediately opened his eyes. It was a side effect of the serum, keeping him perpetually alert. Sleep was just a physiological need for him. The moment he opened his eyes, he was instantly awake. He sat up calmly and retrieved his cellphone: ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Zhao Renzhou asked as he answered the phone. On the other end, Zhao Bao¡¯s voice came through, ¡°Big Brother, Ah Zhan and Ah Ning¡¯s team has already landed at the port. They should arrive this afternoon.¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded and said, ¡°I see. Thanks for letting me know.¡± Then, an eerie silence fell over the phone. After a few seconds, Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow and asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Zhao Bao hesitated on the other end and replied, ¡°Uh¡­ there¡¯s nothing else¡­¡± S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Renzhou rubbed his temples in frustration and asked, ¡°Did you really need to report this? They won¡¯t arrive until this afternoon anyway.¡± There was an awkward pause on the phone. Zhao Bao finally decided to reveal something, ¡°Well, you see¡­¡± ¡°It was Ah Ning¡¯s side that asked me to inform you,¡± Zhao Bao explained. ¡°They wanted me to make sure you knew. You go ahead and do your work. I¡¯ll hang up now.¡± Beep¡­ Beep¡­ Beep¡­ The busy signal sounded as the call ended. Zhao Renzhou furrowed his brow on his end, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, ¡°That stubborn girl, Ah Ning¡­¡± ¡°Hey~¡± came a voice from the room. ¡°Your little lover is coming back, huh?¡± It was Chi Yunmeng, who had somehow awakened and was lying on the bed like a fox, grinning at him. Zhao Renzhou gave her an exasperated look and said, ¡°Get lost. She¡¯s my sister.¡± The main issue was that, after their memories merged, it was hard to develop any interest in someone they had seen grow up, especially when that person was as stubborn as Ah Ning. Chi Yunmeng rolled her eyes and retorted, ¡°You still care about that? My sister is even younger than Zhao Ning.¡± ¡°You¡¯re thinking about her too, aren¡¯t you¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng teased. Zhao Renzhou scoffed, ¡°You beast!¡± Suddenly, Chi Yunmeng had an idea for some fun. She rolled over, shifting to the other side of the bed with a thin sheet draped over her body. She reached out to the bedside table, grabbed a tube of lipstick, and skillfully applied it. Then, she knelt and stood up, heading towards Zhao Renzhou. Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow but didn¡¯t move, curious about what this woman was up to. He watched as Chi Yunmeng¡¯s lips curled into a sly smile. She leaned down towards Zhao Renzhou¡¯s neck and planted a deep red kiss there, leaving behind a clear and distinct lipstick mark. The mark looked like a deliberate branding, easily visible, and the texture of the lipstick¡¯s imprint was almost lifelike. Chi Yunmeng wrapped her arms around Zhao Renzhou¡¯s neck, her intentions clear. Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but smirk before slowly drifting back to sleep, completely unaware of what was happening. As soon as Zhao Renzhou left the room, he used his hand to wipe away the lipstick mark with a few strokes. He then grabbed a towel and gently cleaned his neck. He couldn¡¯t believe he had brought this woman to see Zhao Ning. If Zhao Ning saw that lipstick mark, she would definitely go berserk. Chi Yunmeng was asking for trouble¡­ [In Chi Yunmeng¡¯s dream: ?].[You¡¯re a real beast, aren¡¯t you?!].[Rough!].[Did you waste your sleep?!]. Chapter 28 Chapter 28: The Prelude to Mars Collides with Earth for Chiyun Meng and An Ning!Jiawei Town. Villa approaching noon. In a room on the second floor. Chiyun Meng, also known as Jue Qian, slowly woke up. She stretched lazily and yawned. There was still some soreness in her body. But it was much better now. She propped herself up slightly. Picked up a glass of water from the bedside table. And started drinking. The room was already cleaned up at this point. The deep red fabric pieces that had been scattered on the floor before. All disappeared without a trace. On Chiyun Meng¡¯s left side. A set of new clothes was neatly arranged. Obviously, during the time she was asleep. The servants had tidied up. And brought them over. The clothes neatly folded next to her. Were noticeably thicker than before. Chiyun Meng flipped through them. This time, it wasn¡¯t just one piece. But an entire outfit that covered her entire body. Even underwear was included. Chiyun Meng ¡®tsk¡¯ed: ¡°Still afraid my little lover will get jealous¡­.¡± ¡°You rascal¡­.¡± Clearly, it was Zhao Ning who had returned. Afraid that the little girl would see her like this. She put on clothes that barely covered her thighs. Just in case she went crazy. ¡°Decency¡­.¡± Chiyun Meng muttered under her breath. She frowned and started getting dressed. It felt a bit strange. After all, she had only worn a nightgown before. Nothing else. Suddenly, she felt constrained. It didn¡¯t feel quite right. After putting on the underwear. She picked up the black tight-fitting skirt. And put it on. Although it was longer than the previous one. It only reached one-third of her thigh. Next came the black stockings. After putting them on. They reached halfway up her thighs. Between the stockings and the skirt hem. A bit of her fair thigh was exposed. But it seemed a bit tight. ¡°Let the roots of the black silk touch the skin. Outline a faint depression. Put on the thin lace gloves that reach beyond the elbows.¡± ¡°Chi Yunmeng picked up the last item. Or should I say, an accessory. A black leather collar.¡± ¡°There are a few letters printed on it. Chi Yunmeng skillfully put it around her neck. She got up from the bed.put on her slippers and prepared to go downstairs for a meal.¡± ¡°But at this moment, In the hall on the first floor, Zhao Renzhou, Was discussing the details of the company with Zhao Bao. It was not yet noon.¡± ¡°In addition, Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning should only return in the afternoon. So Zhao Renzhou was not in a hurry to leave.¡± ¡°Instead, he called Zhao Bao, To inquire and discuss the additional details.¡± ¡°Unaware that there was someone upstairs, And there was also a fleet outside.¡± ¡°Without waiting for the afternoon, They were about to arrive here.¡± ¡°In the first-floor hall, Zhao Renzhou sat on the sofa. Looking through a document. On it were some temporarily planned matters. To be supplemented later.¡± Zhao Bao was also seated on an adjacent single sofa. Holding a pen in his hand. Listening to Zhao Renzhou while taking notes. Zhao Renzhou flipped through the documents: ¡°Regarding organizing the veteran members.¡± ¡°For now, let¡¯s not make any changes.¡± ¡°First, record the information of the newly recruited personnel.¡± ¡°Establish their files.¡± ¡°Then, establish a hierarchical system for the organization.¡± ¡°For example, one year, three years, five years¡­.¡± ¡°Level one combatant, level three combatant, level five squad leader¡­.¡± ¡°And so on.¡± ¡°After that, based on the veterans¡¯ experience and level,¡± ¡°Determine their positions.¡± ¡°The people involved in the organization,¡± ¡°All work on a salary-and-labor basis.¡± ¡°The salary increases and death compensation are based on the level.¡± ¡°After reaching the highest level within the organization,¡± ¡°They can be promoted to the group.¡± ¡°The group has two layers, internal and external.¡± ¡°The external layer serves as the grassroots, and the internal layer as the management.¡± ¡°The salary in the group¡¯s external layer can exceed that of the highest-level organization members.¡± ¡°By several folds, and they also belong to the command layer.¡± ¡°While the internal layer consists of core personnel.¡± ¡°Who enjoy the benefits of the group¡¯s hierarchy.¡± ¡°Separate the group from the organization, and let contracts govern everything.¡± ¡°Divide the internal workings of the group, with the inner layer managing and the outer layer doing the work.¡± ¡°We are a legitimate company.¡± ¡°Everything must follow the rules and adhere to contracts.¡± ¡°Establish a medicinal herbs company.¡± ¡°In the future, all exports of raw materials.¡± ¡°Will be conducted under the guise of medicinal herbs.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like it can¡¯t have analgesic properties, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite reasonable.¡± Zhao Bao nodded as he took notes. But the more he wrote, the stranger his expression became. Well¡­ A legitimate company¡­ Exporting medicinal herbs¡­ Zhao Bao¡¯s face seemed to turn slightly red as he remembered. Is this really appropriate? It¡¯s a bit shameless, isn¡¯t it¡­ However, looking at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s calm demeanor, Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but admire. That¡¯s why they call him the big brother. With this move, Even if it exhausted him, he couldn¡¯t have thought of it. Clearly, they were selling raw materials. But with a twist, they became medicinal herb merchants. If you don¡¯t let them sell, then you say you won¡¯t let them sell. ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m in the clear on paper.¡± ¡°We have to claim some reason¡­¡± At that moment, The roar of a car engine. Approaching from a distance. Zhao Renzhou and Zhao Bao exchanged a glance inside the room. Zhao Bao got up and walked towards the door. Who the heck is so audacious? Daring to drive in here? Zhao Bao reached the doorway. Pushed the door open: ¡°Who the he¡­?¡± ¡°Um¡­.¡± He stopped awkwardly. Glanced back inside. Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow. Sensing that something was amiss. Could it be¡­ Zhao Bao stood at the doorway and asked: ¡°When did you guys return?¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be in the afternoon?¡± Zhao Zhan¡¯s voice sounded a bit weak: ¡°Don¡¯t mention it¡­¡± ¡°Anning drove for three hours straight¡­¡± Zhao Zhan got out of the car, supporting himself on the door. His face was somewhat pale. The road to northern Myanmar is no walk in the park compared to Longguo. ¡°That big pit¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s really something else¡­¡± And in the driver¡¯s seat, Zhao Ning. Also got out of the car directly. Quickly walked towards the house and shouted: ¡°Big Brother!¡± Zhao Bao didn¡¯t dare to stop him. He could only obediently step aside. Zhao Renzhou, feeling helpless, rubbed his temples. He was afraid of this scenario¡­ Luckily, he had prepared some extra clothes for Chi Yunmeng. And she was currently asleep. So, the two wouldn¡¯t cross paths. Zhao Renzhou got up and walked towards the door. And at that moment, The doorknob of the bedroom on the second floor turned. Click, click¡ª After two sounds, The door¡­ Opened¡­ S?a??h the N?v?l(F)ire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 29 Chapter 29: The Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool, Breached DefenseZhao Renzhou was about to reach the door when a nimble figure pounced on him. ¡°Big brother!¡± Zhao Ning tightly embraced Zhao Renzhou, hanging onto him. Zhao Renzhou lightly made a couple of agreeing sounds. Tablet? For some reason, this word came to mind. Zhao Renzhou reached out and patted Zhao Ning¡¯s back, but she didn¡¯t seem to have any intention of letting go. He placed both hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her away, placing her on the ground. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± ¡°She¡¯s grown so big.¡± ¡°Be mindful of appearances.¡± After being reluctantly pushed away, Zhao Ning wrinkled her brow, rubbed her nose, and muttered: ¡°Hmph.¡± Her attitude suddenly turned cold as she looked at Zhao Renzhou and grumbled: ¡°Chen Jinlong is plotting against you.¡± ¡°Did you get hurt in any way?¡± The change in her attitude left Zhao Renzhou puzzled. ¡°None,¡± he replied. In the distance, Zhao Zhan, who had also come over, shouted, ¡°Big brother.¡± However, he discreetly pointed at Zhao Ning and then at his nose. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s heart skipped a beat. It finally dawned on him. Zhao Ning had an exceptionally sharp sense of smell. When they were kids, every time Zhao Zhan secretly smoked, she would report it to Zhao Renzhou, leading to Zhao Zhan getting scolded. However, as they grew up, Zhao Renzhou gradually stopped caring about Zhao Zhan¡¯s smoking habit. But now¡­ ¡°I took a shower this morning¡­¡± And she could still smell it? It was a bit scary. Zhao Renzhou patted Zhao Ning¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a good time to discuss things.¡± ¡°About our future development.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s all share our opinions,¡± Zhao Renzhou suggested, shifting the conversation. Zhao Ning¡¯s brows slightly furrowed. ¡°Hmph,¡± she responded, following him with her long, graceful legs. At the door, Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhan exchanged a glance and communicated with their eyes. Zhao Bao glared at Zhao Zhan sternly. [Why didn¡¯t you give me a heads-up¡­] Zhao Zhan helplessly looked at Zhao Bao. [I wanted to, but my phone got confiscated¡­] Zhao Bao was equally frustrated. [You¡­] Zhao Bao waved his hand dismissively. Fine, let¡¯s go inside. They could let Big Brother deal with his own headache. With Zhao Ning¡¯s supernaturally keen sense of smell, it was quite obvious that Big Brother had spent the night at the Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool. This had Zhao Ning clenching her teeth in anger. Tsk¡­ Women, Zhao Bao sighed, and together with Zhao Zhan, they entered the room. In the living room on the sofa, Zhao Renzhou had already taken a seat, but Zhao Ning remained standing beside the sofa. Her gaze, however, was locked firmly on the second floor. Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool was wearing a black, tight-fitting, hip-hugging skirt that seemed to squeeze the flesh a bit and some sheer stockings. She leaned against the second-floor railing, her lips curled with provocation, adopting a seductive posture as she looked down at Zhao Ning. She affected a playful, coy tone. ¡°Aning~¡± ¡°Long time no see~¡± In the air, an inexplicable scent of green tea wafted. Zhao Ning was the kind of tough, no-nonsense girl who looked down upon women who relied on men like Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool. Moreover, considering Zhao Renzhou¡¯s past relationship with Chen Jinlong, she and Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool were not strangers. Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool had a somewhat scheming nature and had displayed clear disdain for the inexperienced Zhao Ning in the past. People are so cunning, Zhao Bao sighed mentally as he watched Zhao Ning¡¯s reaction. How could Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool not see through Zhao Ning¡¯s feelings? But she enjoyed teasing Zhao Ning, deliberately targeting her at times when Zhao Renzhou and Chen Jinlong were gathered. After pouring drinks for the two men, Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool would purposely glance at Zhao Ning, relishing the sight of her gritting her teeth in frustration before leaving satisfied. It could only be described as a dark sense of amusement, adults teasing children. However, the tables had turned now. With Zhao Renzhou in power, Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool had lost her influence, while Zhao Ning¡¯s status had risen. If Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool didn¡¯t take this opportunity to tease Zhao Ning a little, she might not have the chance in the future. So, she playfully called out to Zhao Ning with a hint of weakness in her voice. This wasn¡¯t an act. From last night until now, Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool hadn¡¯t eaten anything. She had only had a glass of water when she woke up, or her voice might have sounded even weaker and hoarser. But even so, it didn¡¯t sound quite right. Obviously, something had happened last night . Having just endured a major battle, Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool still hadn¡¯t fully recovered. Her smiling and smirking expression, especially, resembled a sly fox showing off and provoking. Zhao Ning snorted. ¡°Dressed like this in broad daylight.¡± ¡°What a flirt¡­¡± ¡°Trying to seduce someone?¡± The atmosphere seemed to suddenly become tense. Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhan also slowed down their steps, choosing to keep their distance from the brewing confrontation. Upstairs, Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool, upon hearing Zhao Ning¡¯s words, flashed an even brighter smile and softly replied, ¡°What do you think~~¡± as she looked down at Zhao Ning, who was clenching her fists in anger. Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool¡¯s playful spirit was piqued, and she wanted to add fuel to the fire. At that moment, Zhao Renzhou, sitting on the sofa, turned his head and saw Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool¡¯s attire. He furrowed his brow and asked, ¡°What does this outfit remind you of?¡± ¡°Go change,¡± Zhao Renzhou instructed. ¡°The upcoming discussion is about the group. Don¡¯t come out. Stay inside honestly.¡± The implication was for Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool not to come out. Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool, in response, gave him a disdainful look. ¡°You didn¡¯t choose this outfit either,¡± she retorted. ¡°Stop acting like a saint. Do I have anything in my wardrobe that can cover my thighs?!¡± However, she couldn¡¯t voice these thoughts. Instead, she feigned a gentle tone. ¡°Alright, I got it~~~¡± ¡°Hmph~~~¡± Men¡­ She turned and swayed her figure, preparing to go back inside. But suddenly, she felt something was off¡­ wrong!! Zhao Ning¡¯s reaction was all wrong! She couldn¡¯t just calmly see the love bites, could she?! How could she be so nonchalant? Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool¡¯s breathing hitched as she thought of a certain possibility. She turned her head, bent down, and glanced below. She wanted to see Zhao Renzhou¡¯s neck, but he had his back turned to her upstairs, and she couldn¡¯t see anything¡­ What the heck?! Was this guy playing with her?! That was the only thought in Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool¡¯s mind as her expression changed dramatically. Her face displayed a vivid range of emotions. She was seething with anger. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°This guy is too much!¡± ¡°Wasn¡¯t she cooperating so well?! Calling him ¡®Master¡¯ and all that¡­ We agreed to leave love bites, didn¡¯t we?! And you just wasted it?! You¡¯re trying to avoid this?!¡± ¡°You¡­ didn¡¯t see Zhao Ning¡¯s reaction, but she saw it?!¡± Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool stood on the second floor, her chest heaving. Her tight-fitting dress couldn¡¯t hide the pressure building inside her. It felt like waves crashing one after another¡­ She gritted her teeth. ¡°This damn guy!¡± ¡°You¡¯re ruthless!¡± Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool thought angrily. Outside, Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhan, although they had slowed their pace, were getting close to the sofa. Cloud Dream of the Grand Green Tea Pool didn¡¯t want anyone else to see her current attire. She took a deep breath, turned around, and entered the room. She would give this guy, Zhao Renzhou, a piece of her mind when he came in later! With a loud bang, the door closed behind her. Downstairs, Zhao Ning sneered. ¡°Neurotic.¡± Then, she sat next to Zhao Renzhou. She looked somewhat curious about the documents he held but didn¡¯t voice her questions. Zhao Bao and Zhao Zhan eventually made their way to the room as well, taking seats on separate single sofas. Zhao Renzhou began speaking, still holding the documents. ¡°It¡¯s good that both of you are here now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m planning to establish a group.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll make the organization a subsidiary of the group.¡± ¡°It will have a similar employment nature.¡± ¡°In the future, the organization and the group will be separate entities.¡± ¡°This is the current framework.¡± ¡°Both of you, take a look and provide your input.¡± He handed out the documents. He distributed the documents to Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning. Both of them began to scrutinize the contents. Among the four subordinates, except for Zhao Hu, who was more of a brute, the others were quite intelligent. s?a??h th? N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. They had no trouble understanding the documents. As Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning delved into the materials, Zhao Bao¡¯s phone rang, and he picked it up. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°What?!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± He hung up the phone, his expression turning serious. He looked at Zhao Renzhou and said, ¡°Big brother, Min Deng has contacted us.¡± Zhao Renzhou was somewhat surprised. ¡°Contacted us?¡± He had expected the Duan tribe militants to make a move first. What did that old man Min Deng want? Zhao Bao¡¯s face darkened. ¡°It¡¯s about the people from the Ta Village.¡± ¡°We struck first to eliminate So and Xiong Wang,¡± he continued. ¡°I think they might have found out about it.¡± ¡°They¡¯ve contacted Min Deng now,¡± Zhao Bao continued. ¡°They want us to hand over the people.¡± The key issue was that those people were gone, not even ashes left. If they had acted just a couple of days earlier, they might have been able to scrape something together. But with the recent strong winds, there was nothing left. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s expression was strange. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°For the Ta Village group,¡± Zhao Bao explained. ¡°Do they care about their subordinates so much? For the sake of a few people, I first got rid of Chen Jinlong, then acted preemptively and killed So, Xiong Wang, and the others. But Ta Village¡¯s people keep persistently seeking out Min Deng¡­¡± The strong sense of loyalty and brotherhood in Ta Village touched Zhao Renzhou. ¡°Take what¡¯s left of their ashes,¡± he said. ¡°Send it to Min Deng. Let¡¯s extend him a favor.¡± But Zhao Bao¡¯s expression turned grim. ¡°There¡¯s nothing left of their ashes. We burned them all and tossed them away. With the recent strong winds, there¡¯s probably nothing but some residue¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou sighed. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s get a couple of wild dogs,¡± Zhao Renzhou suggested. ¡°Burn them to ashes and give it to them. Ashes are just sentimental attachments; a little residue will do.¡± Zhao Renzhou felt somewhat moved by the strong sense of loyalty and brotherhood displayed by these drug traffickers. ¡°They don¡¯t have much left¡­¡± A drug trafficking group that displayed such loyalty and brotherhood, going to great lengths for a few individuals, seeking out one person after another until they reached Min Deng. It made him reflect. ¡°A drug lord with a conscience,¡± he thought. ¡°Am I really a bad person?¡± Chapter 30 Chapter 30: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Pie in the Sky, the Most Powerful Warlord in the Golden TriangleJust for the sake of this camaraderie, Zhao Renzhou also had to give them some face. Without any actual ashes, he had to come up with some ashes. And hand them over. The people beside him, on the other hand, had peculiar expressions. Well, they were in for a surprise. Burning the ashes of two wild dogs. And handing them over. To be placed at home for prayers to the wild dogs. This¡­ Seems a bit ruthless. Zhao Bao was momentarily stunned. Then he regained his composure and said: ¡°All right, I¡¯ll take care of it right away.¡± After saying that, he got up, picked up the phone, and walked outside. He began to make calls to his subordinates to arrange things. Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning, on the other hand, were examining some documents. Occasionally, they would ask questions. On the other side. Kesinbang, Mina, as the capital of Kesinbang, surrounded by mountains, with airports on the southwest sides. Not only is it close to the Irrawaddy River, it¡¯s also the terminus of the Northern Myanmar Railway. Railways, airplanes, and sea transport. It¡¯s safe to say it¡¯s a transportation hub. At the same time, it¡¯s also the stronghold of the notorious drug lord Mindeng. His influence, centered around Mina, covers eleven townships in Kesinbang. Clearly, his power is substantial. After all, Kesinbang only has a total of eighteen townships. He has countless subordinates and lieutenants. Relying on that vast territory, he has established a complete industry chain. In recent years, his influence has encroached upon the core of the Golden Triangle. The various drug lords who call themselves generals. At this moment, in a manor on the outskirts of Mina. Mindeng stood in a traditional cool pavilion. Dressed in a simple black attire, on the table in front of him. Practicing calligraphy with a brush, just by looking at his demeanor, one might think he¡¯s not a major drug lord. But his face contradicts it all. Slim eyes, a fierce expression, and that hooked nose. No matter how much he conceals, he can¡¯t hide his ruthlessness. Mindeng calmly continued with his calligraphy brush. At that moment, a black-clad subordinate hurried over from a distance. ¡°Boss.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve received news from Jawei Town.¡± ¡°The people from Tazhai are all gone.¡± ¡°But as for the ashes¡­¡± ¡°They are available to us.¡± s?a??h th? N?v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Mindeng became interested. He set down the brush and asked, ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Are there no other conditions?¡± His voice was somewhat hoarse and magnetic. He picked up a teacup, blew on it, and took a sip of tea. The black-clad subordinate smiled and said, ¡°They¡¯re just border bumpkins, after all.¡± ¡°Who dares to oppose you?¡± ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the difficult terrain,¡± ¡°would these bumpkins in Kesinbang even exist?¡± ¡°We wouldn¡¯t dare not show you respect.¡± That¡¯s not entirely wrong. If it weren¡¯t for the difficult terrain and the high transportation costs, combined with the border¡¯s chaos, where the Shan armed groups clash with the government forces frequently, it¡¯s in complete disorder. Mindeng would have taken control of that area a long time ago. Though his subordinates¡¯ boasting pleased him, he still modestly smiled and said, ¡°You certainly know how to talk.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation with Jawei Town and Tazhai?¡± ¡°Have you found out?¡± The black-clad subordinate nodded and replied, ¡°We¡¯ve found out.¡± ¡°Jawei Town was originally occupied by a man named Chen Jinlong.¡± ¡°Due to its proximity to the border,¡± ¡°it was convenient for smuggling.¡± ¡°It had a long-standing cooperation with Tazhai on the Dragon Nation side.¡± ¡°Chen Jinlong had a right-hand man,¡± ¡°named Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°They disrupted the recent trade between Chen Jinlong and Tazhai.¡± ¡°He swallowed both money and goods.¡± ¡°Then, Chen Jinlong died inexplicably.¡± ¡°Afterwards, Zhao Renzhou took control.¡± ¡°On the Tazhai side, they contacted Xiong Wang from the neighboring town.¡± ¡°But Zhao Renzhou launched a surprise attack.¡± ¡°And wiped out Xiong Wang¡¯s group from the neighboring town.¡± ¡°Now, this guy controls both towns.¡± ¡°He¡¯s probably consolidating his territory.¡± ¡°They wouldn¡¯t dare challenge you.¡± ¡°In a nutshell,¡± ¡°They¡¯ll obediently send the ashes of those people from Tazhai.¡± Mindeng was somewhat surprised: ¡°Xiong Wang?¡± ¡°This Zhao Renzhou seems to be a tough character.¡± Mindeng set the teacup down. He didn¡¯t think much of the seven towns on the border. They did have some strength, but nothing he couldn¡¯t handle. Xiong Wang was the strongest among them. The main reason was their alliance with the Shan armed groups. The Shan armed groups were too ambitious, and Mindeng couldn¡¯t tolerate that. Unlike the government forces on his side, he could keep them satisfied and maintain peace. As for the Shan armed groups, they didn¡¯t contribute troops or money, yet they wanted to claim all the profits for themselves. Especially in that region, where transportation was inconvenient. If things turned sour with them, it would be troublesome for him. It might end up being a one-time deal, where they provided troops and money, but in the end, the profits in the billions would all be seized by them. That was highly likely. Mindeng had only one assessment for those people: Savages¡­ Savage in their behavior, savage in their actions, savage in their thinking. On the other hand, Zhao Renzhou, he wiped out Xiong Wang without hesitation, all for the sake of a few people from Tazhai Mindeng couldn¡¯t decide whether to call him ruthless or ambitious¡­ But no matter which it was, in Mindeng¡¯s eyes, he was already a significant player¡­ The black-clad subordinate widened his eyes. He had encountered many bigwigs alongside Mindeng. People like Luo Xinghan and the generals in Naima. He had dealings with them too. Now, those are real players. Even the backwater bumpkins in the borderlands are considered significant figures? Why did he go there? Why didn¡¯t he just establish his dominance outright? Without waiting for his subordinates to think too much, Mindeng spoke up: ¡°Go send a message to Tazhai.¡± ¡°Tell them to send someone to collect the ashes.¡± ¡°Heh¡­¡± ¡°Three million for a few cans of ashes¡­¡± ¡°This is more profitable than selling rock candy¡­.¡± He waved his hand, instructing his subordinate to inform the people from Tazhai. Then, he picked up his calligraphy brush again and resumed practicing his writing. As for Zhao Renzhou, who had just taken control of two towns, Mindeng didn¡¯t pay much attention to him. After all¡­ There was a vast difference in their power¡­ In the afternoon. Jawei Town. Base. Zhao Bao and his men caught two wild dogs. They mixed the freshly made ashes with the residue and placed them in cans. The ashes were sent to Mindeng¡¯s people, and Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning arrived at the base. They stared in disbelief at the rows of brand new AK rifles in the warehouse. ¡°Is this¡­ way too much?¡± Zhao Zhan picked up an AK and couldn¡¯t seem to let go of it. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, ¡°These are just the beginning. Selling sugar is small-time. Weapons, on the other hand¡­ When you go back, bring some men with you. We¡¯ll take over So Town, and when we eventually capture Kesinbang, we¡¯ll be the biggest warlords in the entire Golden Triangle. We¡¯ll have planes, cannons, you name it. It¡¯s a lot more impressive than selling rock candy.¡± Chapter 31 Chapter 31: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Territory and the Furious Zhao HuAs he watched the shocked expressions of the few people, Zhao Renzhou continued to smile: ¡°Once we¡¯ve defeated Minden,¡± ¡°Taken control of the Kexin Republic,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll move into the core of the Golden Triangle.¡± ¡°Eradicate those ¡®This General¡¯ and ¡®That General¡¯.¡± ¡°In the future Golden Triangle,¡± ¡°There will be only one voice.¡± ¡°There will be only one General.¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s gaze shifted to the rows of AKs in the warehouse. ¡°And these,¡± ¡°Are just the beginning.¡± ¡°Ah Bao, later, you take Ah Zhan and Ah Ning to get familiar with things.¡± ¡°Then, allocate personnel.¡± ¡°Begin training.¡± ¡°Afterward, go contact the mercenaries.¡± ¡°Make sure to find them according to the conditions I mentioned.¡± ¡°Ah Zhan, come with me tonight.¡± ¡°There¡¯s another batch of weapons and equipment to pick up.¡± ¡°After we¡¯ve received everything,¡± ¡°We¡¯ll prepare to attack the Suhuo territory.¡± ¡°Starting with our own territory as the center,¡± ¡°Forming a triangular chain.¡± ¡°Our goal for this year.¡± ¡°It¡¯s the seven towns along the border¡­¡± ¡°For now, we¡¯ll split the territory with Minden.¡± ¡°After all, personnel training takes time.¡± ¡°It¡¯s troublesome to fight right now.¡± ¡°Let the remaining four towns take care of the raw materials for a couple of months.¡± ¡°When they¡¯re more prepared,¡± ¡°It will be time for him to pick the fruit.¡± Yebei Town, Base. The former Xiong King¡¯s territory. Had been transformed and rebuilt. Though it was done hastily, It already had some semblance. The original factory sheds were all demolished. Zhao Renzhou wouldn¡¯t need them for his raw materials business. The thick iron sheet roofing, Had all been divided and attached to the perimeter of the base. And two large gates were also specially recast. Compared to the originals, They were now several layers thicker. After all, they had breached the gates with two RPGs. How could they leave any weaknesses¡­ Zhao Hu, with a fierce expression, Lay on a recliner, wearing sunglasses. Beside him was a chilled glass of beer. He took a comfortable swig of his beer. Zhao Hu was lounging around, looking idle and even yawning. At the entrance, the light machine gun and mortar were set up. Ordinary folks wouldn¡¯t dare to provoke trouble. Even the government troops in the town just sent someone to ask a few questions and didn¡¯t say much else¡­ After all, those on patrol were armed with AKs, and even the sentries had light machine guns. Were these guys still drug lords?Who would dare to meddle with them? This wasn¡¯t the core of Myanmar. Support could arrive at any moment. Besides, this border didn¡¯t even have decent roads. If a conflict erupted and they didn¡¯t wait for reinforcements, they¡¯d all be dead¡­ Perhaps in their eyes, drug dealers fighting amongst themselves was the best outcome. After the Shan armed forces had negotiated and left without taking further action, it left Zhao Hu feeling somewhat unsatisfied. Why were they so spineless? Damn it¡­ If the Shan armed forces knew what he was thinking¡­ They¡¯d probably point at him and give him a good scolding¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you even look at how your base is set up?!¡± ¡°Putting such large light machine guns in a row like that. Am I sending people to their deaths?!¡± Rough! But the Shan armed forces weren¡¯t going to be so patient. They didn¡¯t dare to retaliate directly against the base, but the former territory of the Xiong King, under their control now, wasn¡¯t shown any mercy. After preparing for a few days, they launched simultaneous attacks on the villages on the edge¡­ Just as Zhao Hu, who was idling around, was sighing at his lack of activity, his phone at his waist suddenly rang. Zhao Hu lazily picked up: ¡°Hello?¡± Bang bang¡ª Bang bang bang bang¡ª On the other end of the phone, there was a dense sound of gunfire. ¡°Brother Hu!¡± ¡°The Shan armed forces are attacking!¡± Zhao Hu¡¯s eyes widened suddenly. He quickly stood up from the recliner: s?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°What?!¡± He swiftly grabbed his phone. After checking the caller ID, he had a pretty good idea of the situation and confirmed the approximate location. ¡°Rough!¡± He grabbed the AK rifle next to him, aiming it skyward. Rat-a-tat-tat¡ª The intense sound of gunfire drew the attention of the entire base. Zhao Hu, robust and fierce-looking, bellowed like a raging demon: ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Assemble!¡± ¡°Get those damn light machine guns and mortars up here for me!¡± Chapter 32 Chapter 32: Zhao Ning¡¯s Confused Infatuation¡°Get those two armed pickup trucks out!¡± Previously, he had prepared four armed pickup trucks. Zhao Renzhou had sent two over as a precaution against retaliation from the Shan armed forces. Now they came in handy. Everyone in the base was on the move, and the scene looked somewhat chaotic. This chaos infuriated Zhao Hu. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°People who haven¡¯t been trained are useless.¡± On his phone, Zhao Hu said, ¡°Hold on over there!¡± ¡°We¡¯re sending help right away!¡± With that, he rushed into the chaotic crowd, pushing aside those crowded together. As Zhao Hu directed and cursed, he got into one of the vehicles. It might be chaotic, but as long as they assembled, it was fine. Once Zhao Hu saw that the assembly was nearly complete, he gave his subordinates the address, then waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The armed pickup trucks started first, speeding out of the base. Behind them, there were five or six trucks, each filled with armed individuals carrying AKs. They drove out of Yebei Town and headed towards the conflict zone. Northern Myanmar. Gawei Town. Inside the base, newly recruited personnel stood in rows on a vast square. There were a total of three hundred people recruited from nearby villages in the Gewai Town area. Unlike the sense of one nation found in Longguo, in northern Myanmar, different ethnic groups operated independently. The largest among them were the Shan armed forces, composed of native Shan people. With their inherent fierceness and brutality, they used guerrilla tactics, making it difficult to distinguish them from the government forces. The Kexin Republic was a region with many mountains and forests, not suitable for direct confrontations. When dealing with villages of foreign ethnicities, the Shan people were known to easily resort to massacres, wiping out entire populations. As for the trade goods, livestock, compared to someone like Zhao Renzhou who ran a company and paid salaries, this place was practically heaven. The young men from the surrounding villages were eager to sign up, and it wasn¡¯t for any other reason but the hefty death compensation. It was more than worth it. Zhao Zhan and the ten or so subordinates who had gone out with him before walked through the queue, carefully selecting their recruits. Zhao Renzhou, on the other hand, sat in a shaded area at the back. He reluctantly extended a hand and engaged in a wrist-wrestling match with Zhao Ning. He hadn¡¯t let Zhao Ning go out to choose recruits. After all, she was a young girl, and it wouldn¡¯t be suitable for her to get involved in such matters of violence. Besides, she was loyal and intelligent. It was a good idea to have her trained to become the group¡¯s manager in the future. However, once Zhao Zhan and the others had left, Zhao Renzhou felt a bit uneasy. After all, a nineteen-year-old young girl with a piercing gaze fixed on you¡­ Even though Zhao Renzhou had thick skin, he couldn¡¯t withstand such a gaze. He reluctantly tried to find something to do and ended up engaging in a wrist-wrestling match with Zhao Ning. In the past, perhaps Zhao Ning¡¯s two hands could give Zhao Renzhou a run for his money, but now, after receiving the serum injection, Zhao Ning¡¯s body had become much stronger. Her hand was almost overpowering Zhao Renzhou¡¯s, but he tried not to move too much. When he attempted to ease up a bit, Zhao Ning shot him a cold look and continued to wrestle fiercely. A thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads. No matter how you looked at it, Zhao Ning had grown up. Her face exuded confidence, and her long, slender legs, even though they were flat in one area, couldn¡¯t be ignored. With her body pressing against him, even that flat area was almost plastered to Zhao Renzhou¡¯s face. Zhao Renzhou turned his head helplessly. He should have just let her win¡­ But on Zhao Ning¡¯s end, with determination and a slightly flushed face, she decided to go all out and pressed her entire body against him. She was actually held up by Zhao Renzhou with just one hand, her feet slightly off the ground. Zhao Ning stared in astonishment, unable to believe it. Slowly, she lowered her arm, utterly convinced. ¡°Big brother?!¡± ¡°Are you even human?!¡± Sitting there, with just one hand, he had lifted her entire body? Someone with great strength might be able to do it, but big brother didn¡¯t even break a sweat, and his muscles hardly moved¡­ Just how strong was he? Suddenly, Zhao Ning¡¯s mind wandered in a different direction. She swallowed hard, her face turning slightly red, her gaze taking on a hint of infatuation. Without realizing it, she reached out her hand, wanting to touch Zhao Renzhou¡¯s arm muscles. Seeing this, Zhao Renzhou had a vein pop on his forehead. He promptly swatted her hand away, which had almost the same level of creepiness as a pervert. ¡°Don¡¯t be ridiculous,¡± he said. It was only after Zhao Ning snapped back to reality that she realized what she had just done¡­ Ah ah ah ah ah! ¡°I¡¯m going to die, I¡¯m going to die, I¡¯m going to die!¡± ¡°Oh no! Does big brother think I¡¯m a pervert?!¡± ¡°Help!¡± ¡°Has that bastard Zhao Zhan finished selecting people yet?!¡± ¡°Hurry back, hurry back, hurry back!¡± Unfortunately¡­ Zhao Ning¡¯s inner thoughts were a silent scream, and Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t hear her.

Chapter 33 Chapter 33: The Confused Zhao Ning and the Explosive Zhao RenzhouSeeing the increasingly awkward atmosphere, Zhao Renzhou cleared his throat. ¡°You, come with me,¡± he said. Zhao Ning was momentarily bewildered but quickly caught on. ¡°Oh? Okay,¡± she replied, rubbing her face. She hurriedly followed Zhao Renzhou, taking deep breaths to try and calm herself. Zhao Renzhou led Zhao Ning inside the base and into his resting quarters. This made Zhao Ning quite nervous, especially with the room filled with Zhao Renzhou¡¯s scent. Her heart started pounding even more. Zhao Renzhou walked over to his desk and opened a drawer, revealing two syringes containing diluted basic soldier serum. The doses were not as potent as the ones Zhao Renzhou had used, and their effects were only half as effective. They could only enhance her existing physical qualities to some extent. The enhancement was a little over twice as much as the basic serum, making it suitable for his trusted subordinates. Zhao Bao and Zhao Hu had already used up their doses, and Zhao Zhan and Zhao Ning had been forgotten in the midst of the recent events. Just as Zhao Ning had used all her strength to try to win the arm wrestling match, Zhao Renzhou remembered. He took out two syringes and handed one to Zhao Ning. ¡°This one, inject it into your body,¡± he said. ¡°It¡¯s good for your health.¡± Zhao Ning took it, a bit clueless, and replied, ¡°Oh.¡± She held the syringe and lifted her clothing slightly, exposing her delicate and fair abdomen. She then injected herself. Zhao Renzhou smiled and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask what it is first?¡± Without a care in the world, Zhao Ning chuckled and said, ¡°Big brother wouldn¡¯t harm me.¡± Zhao Renzhou tousled her hair, chuckled, and said, ¡°Okay,¡± Zhao Renzhou said. ¡°Wait a moment, and you¡¯ll feel the effects. This serum can significantly improve your physical capabilities, at least enough to let me move my wrist a bit.¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s casual explanation left Zhao Ning with wide-open eyes. She couldn¡¯t believe it. The serum could double her physical abilities? But why did it only allow Zhao Renzhou¡¯s wrist to move a bit? Just how strong was his baseline physical condition? To Zhao Ning, it all seemed a bit surreal. She was already capable of taking on three or four adult men in hand-to-hand combat without breaking a sweat. So, the idea that doubling her physical abilities would only make Zhao Renzhou¡¯s wrist wiggle slightly was beyond her understanding. Little did Zhao Ning know that Zhao Renzhou had injected himself with the complete version of the basic serum. His natural physical condition was already exceptional, and with this serum, it had improved multiple times over. Not long after Zhao Renzhou¡¯s explanation, Zhao Ning started to feel something strange happening to her body. It began as a mild discomfort in her abdominal area, like her muscles were tearing apart. The sensation then spread throughout her entire body, leaving her with a puzzled expression. Seeing her furrowed brow, Zhao Renzhou reassured her, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. This is a normal reaction. The serum is causing your muscles to tear and rapidly heal and reorganize themselves. Your skin will tighten accordingly. It¡¯s a painful process, but bear with it.¡± Indeed, the sensation was quite painful as her muscles continuously tore and reformed. However, for Zhao Renzhou, Zhao Bao, and Zhao Hu, it was nothing out of the ordinary. They had endured various injuries from gunshot wounds and cuts over the years. S?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Renzhou was particularly concerned about Zhao Ning, as she was a young woman and not as physically tough as Zhao Hu. He kept a close eye on her, observing her reactions. Zhao Ning, despite the discomfort, nodded with determination in response to Zhao Renzhou¡¯s words. As Zhao Ning continued to endure the sensations caused by the serum, her face suddenly underwent a drastic change. She quickly lowered her head, biting her lip so hard that it concealed her facial expression from Zhao Renzhou. He was unaware of the turmoil happening within her. After the initial tearing sensation starting from her abdomen, Zhao Ning felt a strange sensation welling up within her. What had begun as a localized discomfort soon spread and intensified. Her skin tightened, and the strange sensation seemed to replace the initial pain, causing her to lose her focus. She tried her best to maintain her composure, her teeth clenched tightly on her lip. It was a challenging struggle to control her breathing and keep herself from making any sound. As Zhao Renzhou observed Zhao Ning¡¯s subtle physical changes and her uncomfortable reaction, his concern grew. He had administered this serum to male subordinates before, and there hadn¡¯t been any unusual reactions. However, Zhao Ning was a woman, and he began to worry if something unexpected had occurred. Calling out to her and receiving no response, Zhao Renzhou became even more uneasy. He bent down to check on her, hoping to see her face and assess her condition. But as he approached, Zhao Ning immediately started moving backward, eventually bumping into the wall. She leaned against it, clutching her chest, and began gasping for air. ¡°Big¡­ big brother¡­ uhm¡­¡± Zhao Ning managed to utter between breaths. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­ uhm¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t come any closer¡­.¡± Her entire body exuded resistance. She didn¡¯t want to make a fool of herself in front of Zhao Renzhou. She struggled to force out a few words. This was already Zhao Ning¡¯s limit. She leaned against the wall, Her two long legs pressed tightly together. Her lower legs turned slightly inward. Her eyes were unfocused, her body tinged with red, And she was still breathing heavily. This condition, Caused Zhao Renzhou¡¯s face to change abruptly. Me¡­. What the hell¡­. How did this happen? Zhao Renzhou looked at the syringe in his hand. Is this supposed to be a serum, damn it? Not an aphrodisiac, right? Rough?! Chapter 34 Chapter 34: Chi Yunmeng: Are You Still Human?? Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Fury and a Clash with the Dazan Tribe MilitantsEven with Zhao Renzhou¡¯s strong mental fortitude, At this moment, his scalp couldn¡¯t help but tingle. A cold sensation, Shot straight to the top of his head. He felt numb all over. Damn it! There¡¯s no user manual either! Who knew that injecting women, Would result in this situation?! It¡¯s as if he did something to Zhao Ning?! For heaven¡¯s sake?! Rough! If someone were to see this, It would truly be ruined. Even if people didn¡¯t say it out loud, They would still curse him as a damn beast. Me¡­ Zhao Renzhou instinctively felt a tightness in his chest. He took a deep breath, Quickly walked to the door, And locked it. If someone reckless barged in, It would be a real disaster. As for Zhao Ning¡­ During this time, Zhao Ning couldn¡¯t even stand anymore. She slumped to the floor. The serum had enhanced her physical qualities in every aspect. It wasn¡¯t just that her body had become stronger, Her originally sensitive nose had become even more perceptive to scents. Especially at this moment, In a room filled with Zhao Renzhou¡¯s scent, She couldn¡¯t help but gasp for breath. When Zhao Renzhou had approached earlier, The impact had already made it difficult for Zhao Ning to stay upright. She had to step back repeatedly to barely maintain her posture. But now, she couldn¡¯t hold on any longer, And she slumped to the ground¡­ Zhao Renzhou was at a loss for what to do. In just one or two minutes, It felt like an eternity¡­ s?a??h th? ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. At that moment, His phone rang, Zhao Renzhou took out his phone, Without checking who it was, he responded impatiently, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± On the other end of the phone, Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment. ¡°Um¡­¡± ¡°Big brother, it¡¯s the Dustan Tribe warriors.¡± ¡°They¡¯re attacking.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou interrupted, saying, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± ¡°Hold on for now.¡± After hanging up the phone, the call¡¯s dial tone played. Zhao Hu was left in a daze. What¡¯s going on with big brother over there? Why does it seem so urgent¡­ On Zhao Renzhou¡¯s end, after ending the call, he couldn¡¯t help but curse silently. Why do problems always arise at the worst times? Of all times, why now? Damn it! The Dustan Tribe warriors had just walked into a hornet¡¯s nest. Zhao Renzhou, whose mood was already far from pleasant, had no intention of being patient any longer. He would see who would come out of this alive. However, given Zhao Ning¡¯s current condition, he couldn¡¯t just leave her here. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I¡¯ll regret it for a lifetime. Zhao Renzhou rubbed his temples. If this doesn¡¯t work¡­ He¡¯ll have to inconvenience Chi Yunmeng¡­ [Chi Yunmeng: ???][Are you still human???][I¡­!!!] Zhao Renzhou picked up his phone and dialed out. At the central base, Zhao Zhan was in the midst of selecting personnel. When he saw his big brother¡¯s number, he was a bit puzzled. Isn¡¯t he at the rear? Is he calling to give orders? He turned to look at the cool pavilion, but Zhao Renzhou was nowhere to be seen. Zhao Zhan answered the phone. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Big brother.¡± Zhao Renzhou said, ¡°How many personnel are you currently selecting?¡± ¡°Round up everyone and come to my villa,¡± he continued. ¡°Bring all the incendiary bombs from the basement. Also, load up a few trucks with gasoline.¡± ¡°Set out together,¡± Zhao Renzhou instructed. ¡°Gather at the northern exit of the town.¡± *Beep beep beep¡­* The dial tone sounded, leaving Zhao Zhan a bit perplexed. But he knew it meant it was time for action. He clapped his hands and called out to his team. ¡°All of you who were just selected!¡± ¡°Hurry up! Get your gear! Assemble!¡± ¡°The rest of you, return to patrolling and be on high alert!¡± ¡°Quick, quick, quick!¡± Compared to the chaos on Zhao Hu¡¯s end, the assembly here was more organized, thanks to the guidance of Zhao Zhan and the experienced team members. Though there was still some panic, it was relatively orderly. As for Zhao Renzhou, he picked up the resistant Zhao Ning and dashed to the garage. He opened the door of a black Jeep and tossed her onto the back seat. He then jumped into the driver¡¯s seat, pressed the gas pedal, and the car roared to life. It shot out of the garage and sped out of the base, leaving the bewildered looks of the assembled group in its wake¡­ Chapter 35 Chapter 35: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Ruthlessness: Setting Fire, Burning the MountainZhao Renzhou drove the car, Speeding all the way. The main concern was Zhao Ning lying in the back seat, She had started to make unconscious noises. Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t dare delay. Who knew the side effects of this thing would be so significant? In just a few minutes, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Jeep Arrived at the villa. He waved away the approaching sentinels, Got out of the car, opened the rear door, And carried Zhao Ning into the villa. At this moment, Chi Yunmeng was sitting in the first-floor dining room, Leisurely eating ¡°breakfast.¡± She hadn¡¯t put on the clothes from the wardrobe, Just wearing a big white shirt. When she saw Zhao Renzhou carrying Zhao Ning inside, Chi Yunmeng raised an eyebrow. She absentmindedly tugged on the hem of her shirt, But when she saw that Zhao Ning seemed to be asleep, She let go. With a hint of sarcasm in her voice, she said: ¡°Oh~¡± ¡°So, Big Brother Zhao is finally making a move on his little sister~¡± ¡°You¡¯re really impatient~¡± ¡°She just came back this morning~¡± ¡°She left in the morning, and you¡¯re carrying her in the afternoon.¡± ¡°If you want to carry her, go ahead.¡± ¡°But why the heck did you come to me?!¡± ¡°Are you trying to provoke me?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t settled the accounts from this morning yet?!¡± Chi Yunmeng was gritting her teeth a bit, but Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t have time to deal with her at the moment. ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have time to chat with you.¡± He quickly walked to the living room and tossed the unconscious humming Zhao Ning onto the sofa. It was only then that Chi Yunmeng got a clear look at Zhao Ning¡¯s condition. Her face was slightly flushed, her clothes were a bit damp, and she was still unconsciously humming¡­ The spoon Chi Yunmeng had raised was frozen in the air. She looked at Zhao Renzhou with some surprise. ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Did you drug her??¡± ¡°This little girl has feelings for you.¡± ¡°Just say no¡­.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go to such lengths¡­.¡± The way Chi Yunmeng looked at Zhao Renzhou was as if she were regarding a beast. In the morning, he said she was his little sister, and in the afternoon, he drugged her. You really are a damn animal¡­. Chi Yunmeng¡¯s gaze at Zhao Renzhou wasn¡¯t friendly. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°The side effect of the potion.¡± ¡°You keep an eye on her.¡± ¡°I have things to attend to here.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk tonight.¡± After saying this, Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t pay any further attention. He walked straight out. The car roared to life and sped away. Once Zhao Renzhou was gone, Chi Yunmeng rolled her eyes. She leisurely got up and walked over to the sofa. She took a closer look at Zhao Ning¡¯s condition. Chi Yunmeng reached out and gave her a gentle push. There was no response from Zhao Ning, just a slight furrowing of her brows. Chi Yunmeng was somewhat puzzled: ¡°This is drugging¡­.¡± ¡°What kind of drug¡­.¡± ¡°Potion¡­.¡± Chi Yunmeng suddenly paused, her eyes widening with disbelief. When did this little girl¡­? She reached out her hand, unable to believe it, and compared¡­. Looking at the size of her palm, Chi Yunmeng was utterly bewildered. This¡­ she was flat as a board this morning, right? How did she suddenly¡­ Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t find the right words for a moment. It was truly absurd. Even with heavy padding, it wouldn¡¯t be this obvious, right? What on earth¡­ So, the potion Zhao Renzhou gave her was¡­ a breast enhancement potion? On the other side, Zhao Renzhou drove directly to the northern exit of the town and stopped the car, waiting for Zhao Zhan and his team to join him. Buzz¡­ Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Zhao Renzhou picked up his phone, which displayed an unfamiliar number. He accepted the call, but neither of them spoke at first. Then, a middle-aged man¡¯s voice came from the other end, heavily laden with a local Burmese accent. ¡°Mr. Zhao.¡± ¡°Unless something unexpected happens.¡± ¡°You should be gathering your forces right now.¡± ¡°Preparing to support Yebei Town, I assume.¡± Zhao Renzhou sneered. ¡°Who is this?¡± The middle-aged man on the other end taunted him. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am.¡± ¡°All you need to know is that you¡¯ve provoked the Dustan Tribe warriors.¡± ¡°Although Bear King is our lapdog.¡± ¡°Using your Dragon Country¡¯s terminology,¡± ¡°Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.¡± ¡°Even if he¡¯s just a lapdog of our Dustan Tribe warriors,¡± ¡°The person who kills him¡­¡± ¡°Will still have to pay the price.¡± ¡°This is just the beginning.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s play this out slowly¡­.¡± The middle-aged man had intended to threaten Zhao Renzhou, display their strength, and then manipulate him. However, Zhao Renzhou sighed on his end: ¡°These guys¡­¡± ¡°They all love this same old routine¡­¡± ¡°Do they think I was born yesterday?¡± ¡°Playing games with me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not even worthy of that!¡± The man on the other end hesitated for a moment. ¡°You!¡± Then, as if getting angry: ¡°Fine, fine, fine!¡± ¡°Zhao Renzhou!¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t the Dragon Country!¡± ¡°With the few people you have, you want to go up against us Dustan¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him. ¡°Screw off.¡± He hung up the phone without further ado and casually tossed it onto the passenger seat. He took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep drag before exhaling slowly. ¡°Phew¡ª¡± The Dustan Tribe warriors¡¯ greatest confidence came from the fact that they were native Burmese. The dense forests of Kachin State made it difficult to find them, especially for those who weren¡¯t native Burmese. ¡°It¡¯s easy to get lost. For the Shan armed forces. The surrounding mountains and forests. Are their homes. Similar to the neighboring Imperial graveyard.¡± ¡°No matter who is stationed here. They are eventually harassed by the armed forces composed of indigenous people. They harass relentlessly.

And in the end, the losses are so great that they have to withdraw.¡± ¡°The Shan armed forces harass the Burmese government army. That¡¯s their strategy. Otherwise, why would they persist?¡± ¡°It¡¯s because they are Shan people native to Kachin State. And their influence is extensive. They know the terrain almost inside out.¡± ¡°The government army, unfamiliar with the terrain, Or even the major drug lords, Can¡¯t really match the Shan armed guerrillas here. But the solution is simple. It¡¯s just that no one dared to do it before.¡± ¡°But just because others don¡¯t dare, Doesn¡¯t mean Zhao Renzhou doesn¡¯t dare¡­ Time passes second by second.¡± ¡°After about ten minutes, Zhao Zhan¡¯s convoy, Appeared within Zhao Renzhou¡¯s line of sight. Until an armed pickup truck.¡± As they reached the same level as Zhao Renzhou¡¯s jeep, Zhao Zhan rolled down the window of the armed pickup truck: ¡°Big brother.¡± ¡°Everyone¡¯s here.¡± ¡°Why bring so many incendiary bombs?¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± Zhao Renzhou took a drag from his cigar, Completely consumed it, and tossed the butt onto the ground: ¡°Phew¡ª¡± White smoke billowed out slowly. Zhao Renzhou remained expressionless. His left hand gripping the steering wheel, right hand shifting gears: ¡°Set the fire.¡± ¡°Burn the mountains.¡± His voice was not loud. But it was calm and ruthless. Along with the roar of the jeep¡¯s engine, The convoy, loaded with truckloads of incendiary bombs and gasoline, Followed closely behind. Heading towards¡­ The controlled territory of the Shan armed forces¡­ Chapter 36 Chapter 36: The Ongoing Slaughter of the Light Machine GunMeanwhile, on the other side, within the territory of the Yebei Town faction, at the farthest village nestled amidst the surrounding mountains, the sound of gunfire echoed through the high skies. One of the leaders of the Shan tribe armed forces, a middle-aged man clad in camouflage military attire, stood on another hill, holding binoculars and observing the intense battle. This man was none other than the middle-aged man who had just had a conversation with Zhao Renzhou, the leader of the Shan tribe armed forces, Fu Luo. Seeing the slow progress of the attack, Fu Luo couldn¡¯t help but curse angrily, ¡°Useless!¡± ¡°After all this time, they still can¡¯t capture it!¡± ¡°Tell them!¡± ¡°Increase the attack speed!¡± ¡°I want everyone to know!¡± ¡°The fate of those who oppose our Shan tribe armed forces!¡± His subordinates standing beside him couldn¡¯t help but shiver with fear and hurriedly went to relay his orders, quickly retreating from the area. It was evident that Fu Luo was seething with anger, as he always did in such situations. If they didn¡¯t meet Fu Luo¡¯s expectations, then who knew how many people would be brutally killed next. Nobody wanted to be on his bad side. Fu Luo gazed at the small mountain village through his binoculars, his expression as dark and sinister as a demon. Inside the small mountain village, Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates, leading the local militia, fought fiercely while taking cover behind houses. However, the Shan tribe armed personnel on the opposite side seemed to have changed their tactics unexpectedly. What was originally a sneaky guerrilla tactic had suddenly turned into a reckless charge, as if they were rushing in with no regard for their own lives. The scene that used to go back and forth now tilted heavily in favor of Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates. Even the ones leading the charge from the front were getting killed continuously. However, the Shan tribe armed personnel seemed to come endlessly, killing at a pace that made it seem like they were not slowing down. ¡°What the hell?!¡± ¡°Have these people gone mad?!¡± ¡°Are they really going all out like this?!¡± ¡°Rough!¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we retreat?!¡± ¡°Are we all going to die here?!¡± ¡°Hu-ge said hold on a bit longer!¡± ¡°Keep holding on!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll wait until all the villagers have evacuated!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°These bastards!¡± Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates continued to fight while slowly retreating. On the Shan tribe armed side, they had already pushed from the village entrance to the village center. The militia protected the villagers as they ran towards the mountains in the rear, while another group followed Zhao Hu¡¯s subordinates, putting up a fierce resistance. However, more and more Shan tribe armed personnel poured into the village, trapping them. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A series of explosions suddenly erupted from behind the advancing Shan tribe armed forces. Long, mushroom-shaped clouds rose into the sky, exploding like fireworks. A modified armored pickup truck roared into the crowd, fitted with steel plates all around. Zhao Hu stood alone on the truck¡¯s bed, gripping two MG3 light machine guns welded to it. He squeezed the trigger, spraying gunfire in all directions into the crowd. Zhao Hu, injected with a diluted version of serum, possessed formidable physical attributes and immense strength, which minimized the recoil of the light machine gun. S~?a??h the N?v?lFir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Almost every turn of the machine gun mowed down several people at random. The powerful firepower of the light machine gun, coupled with the 7.62mm bullets, turned the bullets into a meat grinder. Dense bullets pierced through bodies, turning the enemies¡¯ flesh into fragments and mincemeat in an instant. In just a second, the enemies¡¯ bodies turned into sieves. The combination of gun smoke and blood mist created a gruesome tableau. From the trucks following behind, armed individuals armed with AKs jumped down and began clearing the Shan tribe armed forces in the vicinity. However, there were also unfortunate individuals among them, armed with AKs but falling victim to the Shan tribe armed personnel wielding bolt-action rifles. The armored pickup truck that Zhao Hu was on continued its advance, circling through the village, targeting areas with more enemies. Zhao Hu, holding two light machine guns, seemed like a death reaper, relentlessly advancing through the village. Two long tongues of fire. Accompanied by the staccato of a machine gun. Bullets hit the enemy, causing blood to spurt and flesh to burst. The crimson blood, extremely stimulating to the nerves. Zhao Hu, with a fierce and manic expression, laughed: ¡°Hahaha!¡± ¡°They can all damn well die!¡± The rampaging armored pickup truck plowed through the crowd. Machine gun fire at close range targeted their faces. Shattering and scattering the enemy¡¯s heads. Visible to the naked eye, they turned into a lump of rotten flesh. One after another, bodies collapsed. Red, white, and bone fragments scattered all over the ground¡­ Chapter 37 Chapter 37: Fire Engulfs the Supplies, the Frenzied Leader of the Shan Armed GroupDue to Zhao Hu¡¯s sudden entrance, The Shan Armed Group, which had been advancing smoothly, Was cut off from the rear by an unknown group. As individuals armed with AK rifles jumped out of vehicles, The formation of the Shan Armed Group was completely broken. Both sides once again became a chaotic mess. They all began to take cover behind the terrain and buildings, And opened fire at each other. Zhao Hu stood in the bed of the armored pickup truck, Gripping two light machine guns tightly. He directed the vehicle to make several consecutive turns, Mowing down the Shan Armed Group members Who had rushed to the front with machine gun fire, Before heading toward the village. As soon as Zhao Hu appeared, His relieved subordinates Quickly emerged from their cover: ¡°Hu Ge!¡± (Note: ¡°Hu Ge¡± is a term of respect and familiarity) A group of people ran toward the armored pickup truck. Zhao Hu signaled the driver to stop the vehicle, Pressed against the edge of the cargo bed, And then jumped directly down from the armored pickup truck, Watching as the crowd gathered around him. Zhao Hu¡¯s brow furrowed tightly: ¡°Is this all that¡¯s left?¡± A quick glance around revealed that, Aside from the militia, his group had lost at least half of its members. Only a dozen or so remained. The leading subordinate wore a wry smile: ¡°Sorry, Hu Ge.¡± ¡°They went crazy over there.¡± ¡°They don¡¯t care about their lives; they just charge.¡± ¡°We pushed too fast.¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t come over,¡± ¡°We wouldn¡¯t have held out much longer with this few people.¡± Zhao Hu¡¯s expression darkened: ¡°TMD¡­¡± ¡°These damn sons of bitches.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not just you guys.¡± ¡°Several other villages got attacked by these bastards too.¡± ¡°They¡¯re resisting right now.¡± ¡°You all pack up quickly.¡± ¡°Get on the vehicles.¡± His subordinates exchanged uncertain glances. Are we really retreating like this? Shouldn¡¯t we continue the fight? S?a?ch* Th? N?v?lFire.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The local militia captain nearby grew anxious: ¡°What about our village?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re leaving?!¡± ¡°The Shan people won¡¯t let us go so easily!¡± Zhao Hu looked at the militia captain and said: ¡°Take your people and retreat into the mountains now.¡± ¡°When you leave, burn all the supplies.¡± ¡°These bastards are after those things.¡± ¡°Once you burn them, it¡¯s done.¡± ¡°You can fight a guerrilla war in the mountains as well as they can.¡± ¡°They have no reason to trouble you.¡± ¡°My big brother said,¡± ¡°When this is all over,¡± ¡°No matter how much is burned,¡± ¡°When the time for harvest comes, you¡¯ll get your fair share.¡± ¡°Just go now.¡± In essence, it meant, ¡°I don¡¯t need the supplies. You can keep whatever you would have received at harvest time. Just go with your people.¡± Upon hearing this, the militia captain realized that if they burned the supplies, they would still be compensated according to their expected share. It was like finding money on the ground. How could he refuse such an offer? Of course, he agreed. He also knew that this was entirely because of Zhao Hu and his group, not the Shan Armed Group. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t even get a single meal, let alone compensation. The militia captain didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°All right, I¡¯ll get it done.¡± He signaled to his militia members and they began retreating into the mountains. At the same time, they found some gasoline and started pouring it in the area where the supplies were grown. As the militia left, Zhao Hu¡¯s group got back into their vehicles. From the passenger seat, Zhao Hu took out a signal flare gun and fired it into the sky. The red signal representing their retreat shot up and burst in the sky. They didn¡¯t bother to clean up the bodies. His subordinates fired as they retreated, with the armored pickup truck¡¯s machine gun leading the way. Zhao Hu, leading the convoy of vehicles, headed toward the next village. On the opposite mountain, Furuo, who was watching through binoculars, jumped and cursed: ¡°You useless trash!¡± ¡°Let them get away like this?!¡± ¡°What the hell are we eating?!¡± ¡°Damn it!¡± Furuo, one of the leaders, seemed like an enraged beast at this moment. He watched helplessly as his provocateurs, his prey, taunted him and then departed with disdainful glances. After shaking off a look of contempt, he turned and left. Furuo grabbed a guard¡¯s weapon from beside him and fired it in the direction of Zhao Hu¡¯s convoy until the magazine was empty. Panting heavily and with bloodshot eyes, he tossed the rifle to the ground: ¡°MD¡­.¡± Furuo, infuriated, covered his head with his hands and motioned to someone nearby: ¡°Go and capture the people from the village below.¡± ¡°Hide some supplies.¡± Having already lost so many men, they had to salvage something. Otherwise, it would all be in vain. Upon hearing Furuo¡¯s words, his subordinates broke out in a cold sweat on their foreheads. They swallowed hard and, trembling slightly, said: ¡°I-I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not possible, General!¡± ¡°They¡­ they¡­!¡± ¡°They burned all the supplies!¡± His subordinates stared in the direction of the fire, feeling an icy chill run through their bodies. It was too ruthless. They entered this life for the sake of making money. Today, they had captured it, but in a while, it might be taken back again. Territory disputes were common in northern Myanmar, but nobody ever dared to touch the supplies. After all, when I lose them, I can always snatch them back. The supplies are still there, and the money is still mine. If I set them on fire, what¡¯s the point of recapturing them? Who would want a pile of broken houses and debris?? But who would have thought that these people would be so ruthless? They burned it all¡­? On Furuo¡¯s side, upon hearing his subordinates¡¯ words, his brain went ¡°buzz¡± for a moment, and he felt a wave of dizziness: ¡°What did you say?!¡± He quickly grabbed the binoculars and looked at the extensive area of the supplies, which was now engulfed in flames. Indeed¡­ Fires were breaking out everywhere¡­ Furuo was driven to madness, his voice turning desperate and hysterical: ¡°Damn it! Damn it!¡± ¡°Why the hell are you all just standing there?!¡± ¡°Send people to put out the fire!¡± ¡°Put out the fire!¡± ¡°Zhao Renzhou!¡± ¡°Zhao Renzhou!¡± ¡°You damn bastard!¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to dieeeee!¡± Chapter 38 Chapter 38: General Furuo¡¯s Shock and Fear ¨C How Could He Dare to Set Fire to the Mountain?Furuo couldn¡¯t believe it. Zhao Renzhou, this guy, Could be so ruthless. Those supplies could produce millions in profits. And they were just two months away from being ready. Yet he decided to burn them all. Didn¡¯t he have any intention to negotiate? Furuo had intended to capture several villages to use as bargaining chips. But now, he had lost everything and so many of his people had died for nothing. Suddenly, Furuo realized something. He immediately took out his phone and dialed frantically. He ordered his men to block the roads. They had to stop Zhao Renzhou¡¯s convoy at all costs. At this moment, Furuo also figured it out. These guys. After burning everything, they retreated. They had no desire for prolonged combat. Their next destination must be the other villages! ¡°Damn it!¡± Furuo¡¯s face was constantly changing. He had seen through his binoculars the formidable firepower that Zhao Hu had brought with him. He could see it clearly. Even his own team, which he personally led, had been badly beaten. Not to mention the other villages. So he had to ask his subordinates to block the roads and hinder them. Furuo suppressed his anger and picked up his phone again. These few people would definitely not be able to handle it. He had to send reinforcements. Today, he must crush these people in the mountains. Otherwise, where would he put his face?! Where would the face of the Shan Armed Group go?! When the call was answered, Furuo immediately said without thinking, ¡°Send some people over.¡± ¡°Gather all those who have nothing to do right now.¡± ¡°Bring everyone.¡± ¡°I want blood today¡­.¡± Boom! A thunderous sound came from the other end of the phone! Furuo suddenly widened his eyes. A mortar?! ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± ¡°Speak!¡± The voice on the other end sounded somewhat panicked: ¡°General!¡± S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Cough¡­ cough¡­¡± ¡°It seems like someone¡­ cough¡­ broke in!¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know who fired the mortar!¡± Furuo couldn¡¯t help but angrily shout, ¡°Nonsense!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell that something¡¯s wrong?!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the situation on your end?!¡± ¡°Who fired the mortar?!¡± ¡°Do you know?!¡± Amid the chaotic noises from the other side, intermittent voices came through: ¡°We don¡¯t know¡­ cough¡­ General!¡± ¡°We¡­ cough¡­ were busy trying to put out the fire!¡± ¡°Someone set the mountain on fire!¡± ¡°The whole area is engulfed in flames!¡± Furuo felt a sudden chill throughout his body: ¡°What?!¡±,Zhao! ,Ren! Zhou! These three words echoed in Furuo¡¯s mind. He, who had roamed northern Myanmar for half his life, felt a hint of an emotion called fear for the first time. This Zhao Renzhou¡­ He¡¯s not afraid?! He¡¯s not afraid of Myanmar¡¯s laws?! He¡¯s not afraid of the whole world pointing fingers at him?! How dare he set fire to the mountain! How could he dare?! It¡¯s incomprehensible¡­ Utterly incomprehensible¡­ Setting fire to the mountain! Four simple words, But it¡¯s the most effective way to deal with the Shan Armed Group. Yet no one dared to do it¡­ The Myanmar government army has been entangled with Shan Armed Group members in Kachin State for decades, And they didn¡¯t have the audacity to set the mountain on fire. They didn¡¯t dare¡­ Really didn¡¯t dare¡­ No government could withstand the pressure, Setting fire to the mountain, even if it was ostensibly to eradicate their own people. The Myanmar government didn¡¯t dare. And those drug lords in the borderlands, Even someone like Minden didn¡¯t dare¡­ Minden¡¯s business is so big, How could he possibly provoke the Shan Armed Group? He could just take a detour. As for the drug lords in the borderlands, Either they bow down like Xiong Wang, or they guard their own little piece of land. They didn¡¯t dare to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Shan Armed Group. But then, there was Zhao Renzhou, such an anomaly, Who completely tore up the rulebook. Setting fire to the mountain, if it got reported, Zhao Renzhou would undoubtedly be cursed by countless people. But¡­ Zhao Renzhou could handle the cursing. But those trees burned in the fire could never be brought back. He was a guy who didn¡¯t care about his own life. Furuo was genuinely scared now. The Shan Armed Group relied on the forests and mountains. If the forests and mountains in Kachin State were all burned down, it would be barren. What would they use for guerrilla warfare? And it had taken less than an hour since the Kachin-speaking man had threatened Zhao Renzhou. In less than half an hour, their own territory had been set on fire. This guy¡­ Did he hang up the phone and immediately start mobilizing his troops? Did he not consider the consequences? Furuo¡¯s entire body turned red, and his eyes occasionally flashed with a fierce and ruthless look. But he quickly hesitated and recoiled. The veins on his hand were throbbing, and he was panting heavily. Furuo¡¯s heart was filled with anger and regret, pondering the gains and losses¡­ Finally, he took a deep breath, suppressing his rage. He ordered his subordinates beside him, saying, ¡°Call everyone back.¡± ¡°Go back to put out the fire¡­.¡± The last four words, Furuo almost gritted his teeth to say them. He had to go back and assess the situation first. The main camp couldn¡¯t afford any accidents. But¡­ This! Isn¡¯t! Over! It¡¯s just the beginning! Zhao Renzhou! Wait for me! Chapter 39 Chapter 39: What Does Setting Fire Have to Do with Me, Zhao Renzhou?Without going into details about the fury on Furuo¡¯s side, On the other side, Zhao Renzhou was thoroughly enjoying setting the fires. The group drove out of the subordinate town of Gawei, Entering the territory controlled by the Shan armed forces. Two full trucks of incendiary bombs, And two trucks of gasoline. As they went along, They set fires along the way. Those incendiary bombs, Were essentially solidified gasoline bombs. They couldn¡¯t be extinguished even if doused. Plus, it was the height of summer, Directly in the afternoon. They carried one gasoline barrel after another into the woods. Opening the barrels, Clear gasoline spilled all over the ground, Continuously spreading outwards. In the stifling hot air, The surroundings were instantly filled with a strong gasoline scent. Once the personnel withdrew, And the cars had driven a distance, They launched the incendiary bombs into the woods. In the instant of the incendiary bombs¡¯ explosion, The oil and gas in the air¡­ Instantly ignited! Boom¡ª!!! It was as if a sun had risen in the forest. The flames, fueled by the oil and gas, swept and spread throughout the deep woods. Forming a massive mushroom cloud of flames. It directly set the entire forest ablaze. Even as the convoy sped away, They could still feel the sweeping heatwave. Whether it would burn anyone to death, Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t know. But he knew one thing: This fire wasn¡¯t big enough yet. It needed to burn painfully, instill fear in those Shan armed forces. He estimated there would be no peaceful days ahead. From the attack on the border villages, It was evident that these people were like stubborn adhesive. He didn¡¯t have the luxury of time now, Nor did he have the manpower to manage and protect the villages below. If he tolerated it today, Then tomorrow, The day after tomorrow¡­ Sooner or later, they would slowly erode him away. After all, they were rooted here. He was, in the end, an outsider, and he couldn¡¯t outlast them. But at the same time, S~?a??h the ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. He was also an outsider in the forest that the Shan people cherished like a treasure. For him, nothing else mattered. Just burn it all¡­ The group ventured deep into the Shan-controlled area. They emptied all the goods brought in four trucks. Only then did they change course and turn around. Sitting in the car, looking out, In the distance, Half the landscape had been overtaken by the mountain fire. A never-ending cloud of black smoke. It painted the entire sky black. Even though they were far apart, You could still smell the burning scent in the air. Zhao Zhan sat in the car, Watching the scene outside and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue: ¡°This fire¡­ if we did this in Longguo, we¡¯d end up in a prison cell.¡± They didn¡¯t venture too deep into Shan territory. Instead, they traveled for about twenty kilometers. They set fire along a stretch of over twenty kilometers¡­ If this were Longguo¡­ Thankfully, this was Myanmar. But even so, Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t help but look to the back seat with concern and ask: ¡°Big brother.¡± ¡°Burning like this¡­¡± ¡°What will the Myanmar government do?¡± ¡°Even though we¡¯re not on good terms with the Shan armed forces,¡± ¡°But this¡­¡± Zhao Zhan suddenly didn¡¯t know how to describe it. Mainly because the government certainly can¡¯t just stand idly by. No matter how you look at it, Officially, this area is under Myanmar¡¯s control. Burning down over twenty kilometers of forest can¡¯t go unnoticed. And¡­ It started with a fire that covered more than twenty kilometers. Who knows how far it will spread? If they can¡¯t control it, It could burn for months. Maybe it¡¯ll burn the entire Kachin State. In a fit of rage, It might even reach India. It could escalate into an international issue. This feels like poking the heavens. But Zhao Renzhou in the back seat was somewhat surprised and said: ¡°What do you mean, what will they do?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t start the fire.¡± ¡°We¡¯re a legitimate company.¡± ¡°And the organization we worked with was just an employer-employee relationship.¡± ¡°This fire was started by people from the organization.¡± ¡°What does it have to do with me, Zhao Renzhou?¡± ¡°I had no knowledge of it.¡± ¡°I also don¡¯t know why they¡¯re doing this.¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite puzzled too¡­¡± ¡°Why would they want to set fire to the mountains¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s incomprehensible¡­¡± Chapter 40 Chapter 40: General Furo Captured, Zhao Renzhou Shatters His PretenseSitting in the front passenger seat, Zhao Zhan widened his eyes in disbelief, looking at Zhao Renzhou. He couldn¡¯t fathom how he could utter such shameless words. But upon closer inspection, it seemed like what he said wasn¡¯t entirely wrong. ¡°Wow,¡± Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°it had to be you, big brother. Ordinary people wouldn¡¯t come up with such a shameless trick¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou smiled and tapped the armrest next to him with his index finger. ¡°Go back under the name of the ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group,''¡± he continued, ¡°donate money and supplies, issue a public statement of support for firefighting efforts in response to this suspected intentional wildfire. Say that the ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group¡¯ is deeply saddened by this fire, and that we began preparing supplies as soon as we learned of it. Stress our commitment to the ideals of peaceful development¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Draft a statement something like that,¡± he concluded, ¡°Oh, and make sure to include my name at the end.¡± ¡°Zhao Renzhou,¡± ¡°These three big words,¡± ¡°I want them smashed onto the faces of the Shan armed forces¡­¡± Hearing this, a wicked smile appeared on Zhao Zhan¡¯s face. ¡°Yes!¡± Revenge can be sweet. The Shan people might know who started the fire, but Zhao Renzhou wanted to make them sick to their stomachs. Even though it was they who set the fire, they would become the first conscientious enterprise to support firefighting efforts. Zhao Zhan couldn¡¯t help but wonder if those Shan people would go crazy. Time slowly passed. General Furo and his men had already started heading back. Due to their attack on the villages, they had lost a significant number of people to Zhao Hu¡¯s onslaught. Now, only a few trucks¡¯ worth of survivors stood by the road, watching the relentless fire consume the mountainside without any sign of relenting. Fear filled the hearts of each person. It was a primal instinct belonging to humanity. Meanwhile, General Furo remained standing in place, staring at the towering flames and thick smoke that covered the sky. ¡°Damn it¡­¡± ¡°How could he dare to do this?!¡± General Furo was becoming unhinged. His eyes were bloodshot, And he screamed hysterically. ¡°He¡¯s insane!¡± ¡°Insane!¡± ¡°Damn insane!¡± General Furo couldn¡¯t believe it. Someone could actually be so insane. Setting fire to the mountains?! Everywhere he looked, there were flames and black smoke! He even suspected that Zhao Renzhou might have ignited the entire northern Myanmar?! This lunatic!! Bang!! General Furo slammed his fist against the car door. He angrily strode to the front of the convoy. ¡°Where are they?!¡± ¡°Where the hell are they?!¡± ¡°Can we proceed ahead?!¡± His subordinates around him shivered inexplicably. They dared not speak, fearing to provoke General Furo. At that moment, the lead driver also returned from the road ahead. The driver, his entire body covered in thick smoke, gasping for breath: ¡°No way.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t go any further ahead!¡± ¡°The outpost has been blown to pieces.¡± ¡°And there¡¯s too much smoke.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll suffocate if we go this way.¡± Fulu, forcefully suppressing his anger: S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Then let¡¯s go around¡­¡± Swoosh¡ª A sharp, piercing cry rang out. As if something had sliced through the vast sky. Racing towards them¡­ Someone in the convoy, in a desperate cry, shouted: ¡°R! P! G!!¡± Boom!! A long rocket. With a flawless arc of flames. Striking the cargo compartment of a truck squarely. A massive fireball ascended. The truck was instantly consumed by flames. Fragments of limbs and charred flesh exploded and scattered. Chaos erupted everywhere. This sudden turn of events left the entire convoy bewildered. But Fulu quickly reacted. ¡°Enemy ambush!¡± ¡°Prepare for battle!¡± He hid behind the front of the lead truck. Commanding his team, he issued orders. For a moment, they hadn¡¯t yet located the enemy. Then came the sharp screech again. Swoosh swoosh swoosh¡ª In quick succession¡­ Several RPG rockets. Blanketing the entire convoy from all directions. With no time to find cover. Everything was thrown into chaos. Dizzy and disoriented. Many turned into fragments and debris. With severed arms and legs. Lying on the ground, crying out in pain¡­ Fulu, hiding behind the truck. Also hit and blasted by the RPGs. However, because Fulu was behind the truck¡¯s front section. The RPGs hit the cargo area. Causing significant casualties among the Dzani militia fighters. He was only wounded by the blast. His brain ringing loudly, ears bleeding¡­ Fulu struggled to support his body. Shaking off the dirt on his head. Clumsily, he leaned against the truck¡¯s wheel. And managed to stand. His entire being in a state of dizziness. Staggering. ¡°TMD¡­¡± ¡°Damn¡­.¡± ¡°Who¡­?¡± Fulu forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart. He had never been so close to death before. The convoy was in ruins. A round of rockets had scattered the people. From another intersection, you could see many armed with rifles. Charging and firing. Fulu didn¡¯t dare to delay. Staggering, he ran towards the forest ahead. Even though it was burning heavily there. The thick smoke could serve as the best camouflage. Maybe it would save his life. He had only run a few steps. With a thud. He fell to the ground. Fulu wasn¡¯t sure what had happened. It wasn¡¯t until he tried to move his right leg. But no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn¡¯t budge. That he turned to look. He saw a large hole in his right knee. In an instant. Fulu felt an intense pain. When he looked at the wound. He realized that his knee was completely ruined. The pain made him writhe on the ground. In the distance, Zhao Renzhou slowly lowered his gun. Zhao Zhan, standing beside him, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Impressive marksmanship!¡± Hitting a target¡¯s knee from over 300 meters away with a handgun was almost unbelievable. But the Desert Eagle in Zhao Renzhou¡¯s hand was a .50 caliber weapon. Within 200 meters, it could take down a deer with a single shot, with its effectiveness extending over several hundred meters. Shooting through a person¡¯s knee was no problem at all. Zhao Renzhou smiled and said, ¡°He¡¯s still alive.¡± ¡°Bring them all here and let¡¯s see who¡¯s in charge.¡± Interestingly, the route they took on their way in was now impassable due to the fires they had set. On their way back, apart from a few outposts, they had eliminated everyone else. Nothing unexpected had occurred. However, when they reached the exit, they happened to encounter this group of people. They were all dressed in matching camouflage green outfits, clearly members of the Dzani militia. From a considerable distance away, Zhao Renzhou had ordered everyone to disembark and cautiously approach, leading to the scene that had just unfolded. Following that, Zhao Zhan led his men over and captured some of the survivors. As for those who were left with severed limbs and no chance of survival, they were put out of their misery with a gunshot. These people had clearly launched a surprise attack on their village, likely in an attempt to divert attention away from the fires they had set. The ambushes weren¡¯t limited to just one spot, so it was expected that several more waves of attackers might return soon. There was no time to deal with prisoners, so they took a few captives and loaded them onto the cargo compartment of a truck. Each of them had received an extra two gunshots to the legs. Whether they bled to death or not would be a matter of fate. At this moment, Zhao Zhan arrived with two others, carrying an unconscious person. His face was filled with delight as he said, ¡°Big brother, we¡¯ve caught a big fish.¡± He signaled his men to bring the person over. ¡°It¡¯s the one you shot just now. This guy is named Fulu, one of the higher-ups among the Dzani militia. He led the attack on us.¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled. So, the guy who had called him turned out to be this Fulu? It only took a few hours for him to fall into their hands. Luck wasn¡¯t on his side. ¡°Set him up for me,¡± he ordered. With that, Zhao Renzhou turned and opened the car door. He rummaged inside and retrieved a solid rubber truncheon. Gripping the tail of the truncheon with his right hand, he smacked his left palm with it and looked at the two men who were holding Fulu. ¡°Step aside a bit,¡± he instructed. The two men quickly turned their heads to the side, trying to keep some distance. Zhao Renzhou gave a sinister smile, flexed his wrist, and then¡­ Crack!! A loud noise echoed. The rubber and skin parted, producing a sound like a balloon bursting. Immediately after, a series of crunching and cracking sounds filled the air. Fulu¡¯s right cheek caved in, his mouth filled with half-shattered teeth that were sent flying and scattered on the ground, each one stained with blood. With a sudden and intense blow, Fulu, who had already fallen unconscious, was abruptly awakened. The excruciating pain left him incapable of coherent thought, and he couldn¡¯t even force his eyes to open. When Zhao Renzhou noticed that he had regained consciousness, he nodded in satisfaction. Fulu had no idea of what had transpired while he was unconscious, and he was fortunate to still be alive. Zhao Renzhou made his decision: ¡°Keep this one. Kill the others we captured earlier. Find a few men to keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn¡¯t lose consciousness again. We¡¯ll deal with him slowly when we get back. Damn it¡­¡± Chapter 41 Chapter 41: Chi Yunmeng¡¯s Frustration, Zhao Renzhou: ???Northern Myanmar. Kachin State. Jawei Town. Villa. After the convoy returned from the Shan armed forces, Zhao Renzhou instructed Zhao Zhan to take Fuluo to the base¡¯s prison. He headed to the villa himself to check on Zhao Ning¡¯s condition. Just thinking about Zhao Ning gave Zhao Renzhou a headache. He had never used the serum on a female before, and who would have thought it would have these side effects. This was truly inexplicable. In a black Jeep, he sped all the way to the villa estate. Zhao Renzhou got out of the car and climbed the steps, taking three quick steps at a time, and entered the villa. With a single glance, he spotted Chi Yunmeng sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees, and nibbling on an apple while watching TV. ¡°Where¡¯s Aning?¡± he asked. ¡°How is she?¡± Hearing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice, Chi Yunmeng turned her head. She sized up Zhao Renzhou from head to toe, making a clicking noise with her mouth. ¡°Asleep,¡± she said. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect this,¡± she continued, her mouth making a clicking sound again. ¡°Zhao Lao Da, you play around so much.¡± ¡°And even drugging¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou snapped irritably, ¡°Get lost. If I decide to deal with you, your days are numbered. Got an itch, huh?¡± He walked over to the sofa and sat down directly. His left arm encircled Chi Yunmeng, and he pinched her harshly, causing Chi Yunmeng to furrow her brows and say, ¡°Ouch.¡± ¡°In a moment,¡± he replied, ¡°What kind of drug did you give Zhao Ning? The changes are too drastic.¡± Zhao Renzhou raised an eyebrow, ¡°What changes?¡± Chi Yunmeng rolled her eyes, ¡°She was flat this morning, and now¡­¡± She used her hand to indicate, ¡°It¡¯s almost a C cup. What kind of drug did you give her?¡± ¡°Is there any more?¡± she asked. ¡°Give me some too?!¡± Zhao Renzhou¡¯s expression was peculiar as he pushed Chi Yunmeng aside and gave her a once-over. ¡°You¡­¡± he said. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you don¡¯t need it? Any bigger, and it¡¯ll be a burden¡­¡± Sensing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s teasing tone, Chi Yunmeng¡¯s face turned slightly red. She raised her fist and punched Zhao Renzhou. ¡°Go to hell!¡± she exclaimed. ¡°I didn¡¯t say it in that way,¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ve noticed some changes in Zhao Ning¡¯s figure too, especially her even proportions. What kind of drug did you use? I want it too.¡± After all, Chi Yunmeng was in her late twenties, not a young girl like Zhao Ning. She worried about aging and any signs of wrinkles, always trying to hide and minimize them. With Zhao Ning¡¯s sudden and significant transformation, Chi Yunmeng was eager to know how Zhao Renzhou had achieved it. After all, who wouldn¡¯t want to become more beautiful? Chi Yunmeng grabbed Zhao Renzhou¡¯s arm and acted coquettishly. Zhao Renzhou furrowed his brow, seemingly contemplating whether to give her the serum or not. He decided to give Chi Yunmeng a dose as well but didn¡¯t respond immediately. The atmosphere fell into silence. Seeing Zhao Renzhou¡¯s reaction, Chi Yunmeng suddenly felt a surge of distrust. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she gently bit her lip. With a swift motion, she pulled her hand away from Zhao Renzhou and began to rise, heading upstairs. She didn¡¯t know why, but she suddenly felt incredibly uncomfortable. Zhao Renzhou quickly grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, asking, ¡°Where are you going? I didn¡¯t say I wouldn¡¯t give it to you.¡± Chi Yunmeng struggled for a moment but eventually gave up, turning her head away to hide her tears. Her voice quivered with a hint of restrained emotion as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Zhao Renzhou sighed softly. ¡°It¡¯s too late.¡± He pulled Chi Yunmeng up, and with his right hand in his pocket (actually from the spatial dimension), he took out a vial of diluted serum. He then lifted Chi Yunmeng¡¯s nightdress directly. He injected the serum into her pale and tender waist, and Chi Yunmeng¡¯s brows furrowed. She bit her lip and remained silent, seemingly still upset. Zhao Renzhou casually crushed the used needle and discarded it into the trash. ¡°This stuff can be quite painful,¡± he remarked. ¡°Endure it.¡± Chi Yunmeng let out a light hum but didn¡¯t speak. Her tightly furrowed brows indicated that it wasn¡¯t as easy as it sounded. After a moment, the pain caused Chi Yunmeng to break into a cold sweat, and her face suddenly changed color. Just like Zhao Ning, her face turned slightly red. She felt a sensation in a certain part of her body that overwhelmed her mind, causing dizziness. It was only then that she realized why Zhao Ning had been in that state when she was brought over. This sensation¡­ This feeling¡­ Chi Yunmeng had initially intended to resist it, but she had overestimated her own willpower. She quickly surrendered, and her body couldn¡¯t stop trembling. Her legs clamped together involuntarily. Her gaze became uncontrollably hazy. After all, she wasn¡¯t a young girl like Zhao Ning, who could endure such sensations due to shyness. Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t hold out for even half a minute before looking at Zhao Renzhou. Then, she pounced on him. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s veins bulged in frustration. He muttered to himself, ¡°What the hell¡­ does she think I am?¡± He couldn¡¯t believe that she mistook the serum for an aphrodisiac. Cursing under his breath, he watched as Chi Yunmeng, who had lost her rationality, kept lunging at him. Zhao Renzhou simply lifted her up, carrying her over his shoulder as he headed upstairs. It was nighttime, and the sun had already set. Zhao Renzhou emerged from the villa and looked at the fiery clouds on the side of the Shan armed forces. Even in the darkening sky and from a considerable distance, he could clearly see the northern horizon ablaze with a deep red glow. The burning fire had heated the air itself. Unaware of the chaos that had erupted throughout Myanmar after an afternoon of fermenting tensions, Zhao Renzhou continued to gaze at the fiery spectacle in the distance. The nation¡¯s attention had turned to this area, as the wildfire had become enormous. It had grown so large that the Myanmar government was powerless to organize a firefighting effort. Not only were the border roads rugged and difficult to traverse, but they were also within the Shan armed forces¡¯ territory, making it impossible to mount a rescue operation. The only hope was that the fire would claim the lives of some of the Shan armed forces. Zhao Renzhou and his team had set the fire earlier in the afternoon, and it had spread for more than twenty kilometers. This long fire line, as seen on satellite maps, clearly indicated that it wasn¡¯t a typical forest fire. It was undoubtedly arson. The Myanmar government strongly condemned this act and declared its intention to capture the arsonist and impose severe penalties. After all, this incident had resulted in the destruction of forests covering hundreds of thousands of acres. No one wanted to bear that responsibility. The Myanmar government was now gathering all available information to quickly determine the truth and provide an explanation to the outraged citizens. Meanwhile, Zhao Renzhou, the mastermind behind the arson, strolled casually out of the villa, opened the car door, started the engine, and drove towards the base. Zhao Renzhou was preparing to visit General Fuluo to check on how he was doing after being ¡°taken care of.¡± Inside the villa, Chi Yunmeng climbed out of the large bed in the bedroom. She stretched lazily, flexing her body. To her surprise, she felt absolutely no fatigue. She got up and walked over to the full-length mirror. As she gazed at her body, she noticed the significant changes. Her thighs, once thicker, now appeared slender and elongated. Her waist was more delicate, and she could faintly discern the outline of her abdominal muscles. Her skin had become tighter and more firm. Chi Yunmeng admired herself in the mirror when she heard a knock at the door. She assumed it was Zhao Renzhou returning and didn¡¯t bother to pick up her clothes. She headed straight for the bedroom door. ¡°Back agai¡ª¡± The door swung open, revealing two people who stared at each other in shock. S~?a??h the n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Time seemed to freeze for a moment. BAM! Chi Yunmeng slammed the door shut and quickly grabbed a dress to cover herself. She then returned to the door, opened it, and looked at Zhao Ning. ¡°When did you wake up?¡± Her voice was deliberately calm, trying to conceal her embarrassment. Fortunately, Zhao Ning¡¯s attention wasn¡¯t on this situation. She didn¡¯t notice the awkwardness. Her face turned from pale to red and back to pale again. She hadn¡¯t expected this woman to be so shameless, not even wearing clothes in her own home. ¡°Shameless!¡± Zhao Ning practically hissed these words through her teeth. She shot Chi Yunmeng a fierce glare and then turned and left. She had initially come to confront Chi Yunmeng, but this unexpected turn of events left her feeling bewildered. She decided to return and have a serious talk with her older brother about this shameless woman. Once she saw Zhao Ning leave, Chi Yunmeng let out a sigh of relief. It was just too embarrassing. It¡¯s all that damned Zhao Renzhou¡¯s fault¡­ Yes¡­ It¡¯s all his fault¡­ [Zhao Renzhou: ???]. On the other side, Zhao Renzhou returned to the base shortly after driving. The prison cells within the base were still brightly lit, and faintly, one could hear the sounds of agonizing screams. Chapter 42 Chapter 42: Fuluo in the Punishment Room, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Ruthless HandZhao Renzhou entered the base¡¯s prison. All his subordinates immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him. Zhao Renzhou waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, except for Zhao Zhan, whom he left behind. Zhao Zhan yawned and approached. ¡°Big brother.¡± Zhao Renzhou smiled. ¡°Did you manage to get anything out of him?¡± He looked at General Fuluo, who was bound to the torture rack, appearing lifeless. At this point, General Fuluo had lost his authoritative demeanor. His camouflage military uniform, once a vibrant forest green, was now in tatters with strips hanging loose, a clear result of whipping¡ªthe lightest of punishments. He bore multiple marks from electric shocks and burns. The air was filled with the scent of scorched flesh. Zhao Zhan shrugged. ¡°Nothing. This guy hasn¡¯t said a word.¡± ¡°He¡¯s quite stubborn,¡± Zhao Renzhou remarked with a raised eyebrow. ¡°Did you ask him?¡± Zhao Zhan smirked. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± Rolling his eyes, Zhao Renzhou said, ¡°Then what good are you?¡± He kicked out with his foot, but Zhao Zhan quickly dodged. ¡°Isn¡¯t this cooperation with you?¡± he said, avoiding Zhao Renzhou¡¯s leisurely kick. Zhao Renzhou chuckled and reached for a nearby bucket of saltwater. He scooped up a handful and splashed it onto General Fuluo. The saltwater felt like scalding lava as it coursed over Fuluo¡¯s tortured skin, penetrating deep into his flesh and bones. The excruciating pain jolted General Fuluo, who had been in a semi-conscious state, back to full consciousness. His muscles quivered uncontrollably, and he clenched the remaining half of his teeth tightly. A wild, beast-like roar erupted from his throat. After the violent convulsions, he seemed to have expended all his strength. The chest heaved violently, Making a wheezing sound. With great effort, he raised his trembling head, Uttering words filled with utmost hatred: ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°TMD¡­¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask?!¡± ¡°CNM!¡± ¡°A bunch of lunatics!¡± Why the hell don¡¯t you ask me what I have to say?! Fulu¡¯s head, which he lifted, shook violently, Blurry, unclear. He looked ahead at the blurry figure in blood. Blood flowed into his eyes. In Fulu¡¯s eyes right now, Everything was a blurry shade of bloody red. Roaring with endless resentment, mixed with some fear, He really didn¡¯t want to get beaten anymore. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore¡­ He had given in a long time ago. But these people just kept hitting him, And kept asking whether he¡¯d talk or not. But they never specified what they wanted to know. Just kept saying ¡°talk or not¡±¡­ ¡°Talk or not¡±¡­ I¡¯ll say, screw you! You don¡¯t ask, and you expect me to talk, damn it! Zhao Renzhou chuckled, Picked up the rubber baton nearby. Swung it a couple of times. Smacked it against Fuluo¡¯s face. It made a cracking sound. ¡°You¡¯re quite spirited.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Take a break first.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s get him treated.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t kill him.¡± ¡°Keeping him alive might come in handy later.¡± Smack! The rubber made contact with flesh. The sound of bones cracking echoed. Fuluo¡¯s remaining teeth in this life. Were shattered by Zhao Renzhou. There was nothing left now. Simultaneously, Fuluo was knocked out cold. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly. Tossed the rubber baton aside. Pulled out a vial of new serum from his pocket. Tossed it to Zhao Zhan. ¡°Take a shot of this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good for your body.¡± Zhao Zhan took it. Without hesitation, he injected it into his body. Zhao Renzhou watched for a moment. Nothing seemed unusual. Indeed¡­ That kind of thing only affects women¡­ Damn it¡­. Almost got tricked to death¡­.

Rejecting Slander!Zhao Zhan stood frozen in place. His brows were tightly furrowed, and after a few minutes, he finally relaxed. His face was filled with disbelief. He clenched his fists and felt as if he hadn¡¯t used much strength, yet the veins on his hands pulsed extraordinarily. Zhao Zhan felt like he could punch a cow to death, a punch that would be lively and energetic. ¡°This¡­¡± Zhao Zhan raised his head to look at Zhao Renzhou. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, ¡°Don¡¯t get too excited. It seems your physical qualities have merely doubled. Let¡¯s adjust first. Later, you¡¯ll change into a formal suit and practice a bit. From now on, you¡¯re the spokesperson for our ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group.¡¯ We¡¯re a legitimate company, so act justly.¡± Zhao Zhan widened his eyes: ¡°I¡¯m doing it?¡± Zhao Zhan asked. ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem appropriate, big brother,¡± he continued, ¡°You¡¯re the leader.¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled and patted Zhao Zhan on the shoulder. ¡°Who told you to look so righteous with your square face? You¡¯re the perfect spokesperson among us. Stand alongside Zhao Hu. It¡¯ll be crystal clear who the good guys and bad guys are. It¡¯s the same principle; you represent us in speaking. On the other side, the Shan ethnic armed forces have a fierce spokesperson. When you compare them¡­¡± Zhao Zhan nodded thoughtfully but was still a bit puzzled. ¡°Audience? What audience?¡± Zhao Renzhou explained, ¡°This situation has escalated. The entire Myanmar is watching. The Shan ethnic armed forces are explicitly naming and cursing us on television.¡± Zhao Renzhou found it somewhat amusing. Before leaving the villa, he had taken a glance at the television. Now, almost all of Myanmar¡¯s television stations were reporting on the wildfire. After all, the country¡¯s territory was relatively small, and the fireline was too extensive. The red glow in the sky could even be seen in neighboring countries. Countless residents were discussing the situation. The Myanmar government had promptly stepped in to reassure the public. They had also mobilized the fire brigade from Kachin State to head to the location of the wildfire. However, they hadn¡¯t arrived at the rescue site yet when Zhao Renzhou came out. Reporters from various news agencies had already arrived, some even using helicopters to compete for the first news report. They were trying to interview the Shan ethnic armed forces personnel who were battling the fire. One of the leaders of the Shan ethnic armed forces had openly declared on television that this was the work of a major drug lord in the border town of Kawei, orchestrated by Zhao Renzhou. They claimed to have captured one of their military officers and demanded Zhao Renzhou¡¯s immediate release of their detained personnel. They also called upon the Myanmar government for assistance. They immediately called for the arrest of Zhao Renzhou and his expulsion from the country. However, the Myanmar government seemed uninterested in dealing with the Shan ethnic armed forces. After all, they were only nominal citizens and didn¡¯t recognize the government¡¯s authority. The act of setting fires in the mountains was something the government had wanted to do for a while, but no one had dared to try it. Now that someone had ignited the fire, the Myanmar government was more than happy to let it burn a little more, potentially eliminating the insurgents¡¯ hiding spots. This would make it easier for them to eradicate the ¡°rebels¡± in the future. However, since the Shan ethnic armed forces had publicly accused Zhao Renzhou, the Myanmar government would need to investigate based on the leads. They couldn¡¯t easily deceive the public. Zhao Renzhou guessed that many people were probably heading to Kawei town at this moment. These individuals were fierce and menacing and not suitable for a public appearance. Zhao Zhan was the perfect candidate to step into the spotlight and establish the name of the ¡°Golden Triangle Security Group,¡± while Zhao Renzhou could conveniently remain behind the scenes. S~?a??h the Nov?lF?re .??t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. On Zhao Zhan¡¯s side, he began practicing his facial expressions, although they still seemed somewhat unnatural. Zhao Renzhou was standing nearby, providing guidance: ¡°Yes, yes,¡± Zhao Renzhou instructed, ¡°Keep your lips slightly curved, and your gaze slightly intensified. Show a sense of gravity, as if you¡¯re deeply saddened by this wildfire. If any reporters come knocking later, just present this demeanor to them and read the prepared speech we have for this wildfire. Say something like, ¡®The Golden Triangle Security Group is deeply saddened by this wildfire. We have prepared supplies and are ready to support at a moment¡¯s notice¡­''¡± The two of them continued to practice for over an hour until one of their subordinates came to report that a television news crew had arrived at the gate, followed by several more vehicles. They were trying to enter the base¡­ Chapter 44 Chapter 44: The Enraged Shan Ethnic Armed Forces ¨C How Dare He?In northern Myanmar, Kachin State, at the frontline of the Shan ethnic armed forces¡¯ wildfire relief effort, the leaders of the Shan ethnic armed forces were covered in soot. They had been commanding the rescue operations, but the fire was too massive. It had mobilized almost the entire strength of the Shan ethnic armed forces. They were desperately trying to save their raw materials as the wildfire had already consumed six or seven of their cultivation bases. The financial losses were incalculable, and what was more embarrassing was the matter of prestige. They had been a dominant force in northern Myanmar for decades, and for the first time, they had suffered such a serious setback, caused by a wretched drug trafficker. How could they bear it? A group of outsiders had come in and humiliated them on their home turf. They couldn¡¯t hold their heads high in northern Myanmar anymore. At this moment, the leaders of the Shan ethnic armed forces were gathered around a television, their eyes fixed firmly on the screen. On the screen, there was Zhao Zhan, with his square face and an air of righteousness about him. Standing before the media reporters, Zhao Zhan spoke eloquently and with conviction: ¡°At the very moment we discovered the sudden wildfire,¡± he began, ¡°our ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group¡¯ immediately gathered town supplies.¡± ¡°Everything has been loaded onto vehicles and is ready for immediate support in firefighting. Regarding the accusations made by the leaders of the Shan ethnic armed forces against us, I want to make a statement on behalf of our group.¡± ¡°Our Chairman, Mr. Zhao Renzhou of the ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group,¡¯ is neither a drug lord nor a criminal mastermind. We are legitimate businessmen, with all our procedures fully legal and compliant.¡± ¡°Due to our company¡¯s provision of security training and services, it is inevitable that we collaborate with local factions. This collaboration may have led to misunderstandings on the part of the Shan ethnic armed forces.¡± ¡°I wish to clarify that our group is not involved in any drug trafficking organization.¡± ¡°Our collaboration with local factions is purely contractual and within the bounds of the law¡±. ¡°We have provided video evidence to counter the accusations of the Shan ethnic armed forces, which we have submitted to the Kawei Town District Court. Once the court has sorted through the evidence¡­¡± ¡°The trial is scheduled to begin at the end of this month,¡± Zhao Zhan continued, his voice unwavering. ¡°At that time, we hope that the leaders of the Shan ethnic armed forces will come forward to confront this issue personally. ¡± ¡°We don¡¯t seek trouble, but we¡¯re not afraid of it either. In the face of baseless accusations, we will wield the weapons of the law as our shield.¡± ¡°The ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group¡¯ is dedicated to the principles of peaceful development¡­¡± As they watched Zhao Zhan speak confidently, the heads of the Shan ethnic armed forces responsible for watching the live broadcast felt like a certain string in their minds had snapped. Shameless¡­ Truly shameless¡­ The hot-tempered boss, Che Xiu, couldn¡¯t contain his anger. His face contorted with rage as he snatched an automatic rifle from one of his subordinates and aimed it at the television. Rapid gunfire echoed in the room, shattering the TV screen into a sieve. Glass shards flew everywhere, along with electronic components. Che Xiu, seething with frustration, shouted in a fit of rage, ¡°What is he saying?!¡± ¡°What is he saying?!¡± ¡°What?!¡± Che Xiu bellowed, his face twisted in fury. ¡°What the hell is he saying?! A damn drug dealer dares to talk to me about the law?¡± He grabbed a trembling subordinate beside him, his expression grotesque, and shouted, ¡°Did you hear that?! He¡¯s talking to me about the law?! The law! A filthy drug dealer talking to me about the law! Who does he think he is?!¡± With a forceful shove, he sent his trembling subordinate flying. Che Xiu¡¯s fists pounded the table with a resounding ¡®thud.¡¯ ¡°He dares to sue me?!¡± Che Xiu raged, his face red with anger. ¡°A drug dealer? How dare he?! On what grounds?! On what grounds?!¡± ¡°Ah?!¡± he roared. ¡°Someone tell me! On what grounds?!¡± His words filled with seething anger, Che Xiu flipped the table in a fit of rage, sending items crashing to the floor. Nobody dared to utter a word as Che Xiu stood there, his eyes widened with rage, and his chest heaving heavily. Like a starving, enraged lion, Che Xiu¡¯s presence sent shivers down everyone¡¯s spines. His ferocious gaze swept over the silent assembly. ¡°Why isn¡¯t anyone speaking?!¡± he thundered. ¡°On what grounds does he dare?!¡± One of the older leaders finally spoke up, addressing Che Xiu, ¡°Chieftain, if negotiations don¡¯t work, we can exert pressure on the Myanmar government. Zhao Renzhou is obviously a reckless man. If we continue to engage in conflict, it might lead to mutual destruction.¡± The various leaders in the room nodded in agreement. Indeed, this guy seemed utterly reckless. Who could have imagined that after a few small village skirmishes meant to intimidate him, he would retaliate by setting fire to our territory? He burned down dozens of kilometers of land! He¡¯s a lunatic! ¡°A pure damn lunatic?!¡± The leaders couldn¡¯t help but wonder aloud. It wasn¡¯t just a matter of whether they could take Kawei Town in an attack; it wasn¡¯t even guaranteed that they could eliminate the opposition. The reports they had received earlier indicated that these guys were well-armed. Each of them had AKs, rocket launchers, light machine guns¡­ It was like they were dealing with warlords rather than drug traffickers. Where did they get all this firepower? With just these weapons, they could put up a serious fight. They couldn¡¯t match them in terms of sheer numbers. But what if Zhao Renzhou decided to run away? The thought of Zhao Renzhou escaping after the wildfire sent shivers down everyone¡¯s spines. It was better not to provoke someone like him. s?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. After all, they were nominally under Myanmar¡¯s jurisdiction. Pressuring the Myanmar government to handle the situation was a better option than sticking their necks out. Che Xiu, listening to the words of the older leader, couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He gestured to the older leader and the man approached, swallowing hard. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he walked a few steps closer. Bang!!! He was slapped to the ground. Then came Che Xiu¡¯s furious voice, ¡°What do you mean by this?¡± ¡°You mean to tell me that our Shan ethnic armed forces,¡± Che Xiu raged, ¡°are being toyed with by this insignificant drug dealer?! Relying on the Myanmar government? That¡¯s truly ridiculous! Relying on the Myanmar government for face?! How are we going to survive in northern Myanmar after this? Tell me?!¡± ¡°What?!¡± he roared. ¡°You damn well tell me?!¡± The older leader trembled and didn¡¯t dare to get up. ¡°But¡­ but¡­ they¡­ they dared to set fire to the mountains,¡± he stammered. Dealing with drug traffickers had always been a walk in the park for them. But encountering someone this fearless was a whole different story. In all their years, they had never come across someone like this. He actually dared to do it. Upon hearing this, Che Xiu¡¯s face darkened, his mood shifting rapidly. Clearly, he understood the gravity of the situation, but he was deeply unwilling to accept it. Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Bounty ¨C 50 Million?Che Xiu wore a grim expression and kicked aside a nearby chair. Dealing with Zhao Renzhou was essential; otherwise, their Shan ethnic armed forces would become a laughingstock. But dealing with him also meant the risk of more fires being set. Suddenly, one of the leaders made a proposal, ¡°Chieftain, what if we seek assistance from the drug traffickers in the border towns to deal with Zhao Renzhou? We could offer them some money. It¡¯s not just Zhao Renzhou; there are other drug traffickers in the seven border towns, and even the major drug lord in Kachin State, Min Din, has some international recognition. Maybe we could spend some money to have him resolve this matter.¡± Min Din, who had risen to prominence in recent years, was one of the most prominent figures in Kachin State. The Shan ethnic armed forces had heard of his rags-to-riches story. He used to be a freelancer internationally, working in various capacities. Min Din, who had turned his hand to various illicit activities, including arms trafficking and human trafficking, and had even run casinos and manufactured drugs, had ultimately settled down in the Golden Triangle due to the immense profits in the drug trade. He not only had an extensive network of contacts from his earlier years but was currently the biggest drug lord in Kachin State. His influence extended throughout the region, except for the remote and impoverished border towns. Min Din had become the undisputed kingpin of the underground world in Kachin State, at least according to external perceptions. However, the Shan ethnic armed forces viewed him as nothing more than a drug trafficker. Nonetheless, seeking Min Din¡¯s help was undoubtedly the best option. While they could handle a fire being set, taking on a fellow drug lord would be an all-out battle. Che Xiu stood there with a dark expression, seemingly lost in thought. His subordinates remained silent, waiting patiently. After a long pause, Che Xiu¡¯s gaze turned deep, and he looked at the person who had made the suggestion. ¡°Go contact Min Din.¡± ¡°No matter how much it costs,¡± Che Xiu declared, ¡°as long as Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head is brought to us, we can work things out. In the future, Kachin State will be under our control.¡± Che Xiu was resolute. Once Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head was delivered, he would immediately send his men to eliminate all the drug lords in the seven border towns. Previously, the presence of government troops had hindered their efforts to deal with these individuals. But now, with such a daring character like Zhao Renzhou on the scene, Che Xiu would not tolerate the emergence of a second one. Absolutely not. In northern Myanmar, in the outskirts of a city, in a villa nestled against the mountains and overlooking a river, Min Din sat on a sofa dressed in black casual attire. He watched the television broadcast about the firefighting efforts. The broadcast also featured the so-called ¡°Golden Triangle Security Group.¡± At that moment, one of his subordinates approached and began to report. ¡°Boss,¡± the subordinate began, ¡°we¡¯ve received a message from the Shan ethnic armed forces. They want us to deal with Zhao Renzhou. They¡¯re willing to pay any amount as long as we deliver Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head.¡± ¡°They¡¯re also proposing future cooperation to completely control Kachin State, making it a shared domain between us and them.¡± Min Din chuckled lightly. ¡°Deliver Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head? They¡¯re trying to catch a tiger by its tail, it seems. If they want to settle scores with an enemy, they should show some sincerity. Tell them if they want Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head, they should offer 50 million first.¡± His subordinate¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°Fifty million¡­?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Min Din affirmed. Internally, he couldn¡¯t help but think, ¡°Is this guy really worth 50 million? Even high-ranking politicians don¡¯t come with this price tag.¡± Sensing his subordinate¡¯s hesitation, Min Din added, ¡°Do you think he¡¯s not worth 50 million?¡± His subordinate hesitated for a moment and replied, ¡°Well, I suppose he might not be worth that much¡­¡± Min Din suddenly chuckled while keeping his eyes fixed on the television. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s worth it,¡± he said. ¡°I see shades of myself in him. I¡¯ve learned something in my adventurous life. Zhao Renzhou, at such a young age, has already grasped the art of starting a company, dividing industries, staying behind the scenes, and going legit.¡± Min Din saw in Zhao Renzhou a more ruthless and daring version of himself. His subordinates, with control over three towns, dared to set fire to the Shan ethnic armed forces. Min Din admitted that he wouldn¡¯t have taken such a risk. If this young man continued to grow and develop, he would undoubtedly become a significant threat. However, despite the potential threat, business was business. Since they were both following similar paths and were fellow citizens of the Dragon Nation, Min Din believed that Zhao Renzhou was a smart individual. They could potentially cooperate in the future. However, if the Shan ethnic armed forces were willing to pay for Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head, it would change the equation entirely. Car Hu couldn¡¯t believe it, so he double-checked with his subordinate, who nervously nodded. Car Hu was so infuriated that he began firing his pistol into the air repeatedly. ¡°Are they all insane?¡± he roared. ¡°Why aren¡¯t these Dragon Nation people dropping dead one by one? Five million? Is Zhao Renzhou really worth that? Does he deserve it? Is Min Din himself worth that?¡± S?a??h th? N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Car Hu¡¯s outrage was palpable. The audacity of the offer had clearly pushed him to the brink of his temper. The idea that someone would value Zhao Renzhou¡¯s life at such a high price left him incredulous and fuming. Chapter 46 Chapter 46: Zhao Renzhou: Zhao Ning and I Personally¡­Che Xiu was on the verge of going crazy. These damned people from Dragon Country! Who did they think they were?! This is Myanmar! Northern Myanmar! This is his territory! Not those damn drug traffickers! How dare they! His subordinates looked at Che Xiu. For a moment, no one dared to speak. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. It wasn¡¯t until a while later. Someone couldn¡¯t bear it and said: ¡°Fifty million.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that expensive.¡± This statement was accurate. After all, the entire northern Myanmar relied on ice sugar. Any random base¡¯s raw materials. After harvesting and refining into ice sugar. That¡¯s tens of millions in profit. The Shan armed forces that occupied so much of northern Myanmar. There were countless villages hidden in the mountains and forests. For them, fifty million was really not a problem. But these words angered Che Xiu. Che Xiu suddenly turned his head, glared at the leader. He walked over quickly, grabbed his collar, and roared: ¡°Fifty million to kill a person?!¡± ¡°Do I look like a fool to you?!¡± ¡°Are Myanmar¡¯s high-ranking officials not even worth fifty million?!¡± ¡°How dare Min Deng ask for this?!¡± ¡°Is this your way?!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± After Che Xiu¡¯s roar, he suddenly threw the man aside. His subordinates directly collapsed on the ground, afraid to move. Che Xiu pressed his temples and paced back and forth. Breathing deeply as if suppressing his anger. After a while, he calmed down a bit. Che Xiu closed his eyes: ¡°Go, tell Min Deng.¡± ¡°One million.¡± ¡°After the job is done.¡± ¡°Give him another million.¡± ¡°That¡¯s how much it¡¯s worth.¡± ¡°Whether he does it or not.¡± His eyes slowly opened, revealing endless coldness. Clearly, they had Min Deng in their sights as well. As long as Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head was delivered. Hehe. Northern Myanmar, Kachin State. On the outskirts of the city. Inside the Min Deng estate. One of his subordinates ran over to report: ¡°Boss.¡± ¡°The Shan armed forces are willing to offer twenty million.¡± ¡°And half of that, ten million.¡± ¡°Will only be paid after the job is done.¡± Min Deng looked up from the sofa: ¡°Ten million?¡± ¡°That could lower the price..¡± After saying that, Min Deng squinted his eyes slightly. Contemplating whether to take the job or not. Mainly because Zhao Renzhou was indeed a potential figure. He acted ruthlessly and had great courage.. Destined for greatness. But over the years, he had seen many such people. S?a??h the N0v?lFir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Only a few of them made it to the end. Min Deng wasn¡¯t about to make a decision solely based on this. Instead of actively seeking enmity, someone was willing to pay now¡­ It would save quite a bit of trouble. And there would be profits. Min Deng pondered for a moment. He had an idea. He beckoned to his subordinate and said: ¡°Compile all the information we have on Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°After that,¡± ¡°You¡¯ll go on the international dark web.¡± ¡°Under the name of the Shan armed forces,¡± ¡°Post a bounty mission.¡± ¡°As long as a mercenary team,¡± ¡°The reward will be fifty thousand freedom coins.¡± ¡°The target is Zhao Renzhou¡¯s head.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± The subordinate nodded and said: ¡°Yes.¡± He slowly exited the room. Min Deng picked up the teapot from the coffee table. Poured a cup of tea. Leaned back on the sofa. Sipping tea while watching the news. According to the current exchange rate between freedom coins and Dragon Country¡¯s currency, fifty thousand freedom coins would be roughly around four hundred thousand. He would still have six hundred thousand left. The key was that there was minimal risk involved. Posting the bounty mission under the name of the Shan armed forces ensured that there wouldn¡¯t be any repercussions. After all, those locals didn¡¯t know anything about the dark web. Posting it wouldn¡¯t cause any harm. If the Shan armed forces could offer more, he would hire more mercenaries for them. However, these guys were only offering ten million. Whether he would receive the remaining payment was uncertain. Hiring a group of mercenaries would suffice. Even if they managed to capture Zhao Renzhou, they would only be able to reveal that it was posted by the Shan armed forces. If they didn¡¯t get caught and successfully killed Zhao Renzhou, it would still solve his problem. It was a win-win situation¡­ The next day. Gawei Town. At the base. Zhao Zhan had already left. Before leaving, he had taken the group of journalists with him. They arrived at the prepared company building for the interviews. The base¡¯s security had also been reduced, with only a few patrolling personnel here and there. It seemed like this place wasn¡¯t particularly important, at least to outsiders. Only the people in town knew how dangerous it really was. Zhao Renzhou directed the convoy, hauling supplies out of the base. They still had to maintain appearances. The large fire was still raging. The fire line had spread several dozen miles overnight. The firefighting team organized by the northern Myanmar government looked at the flames and sighed in frustration. There was little they could do. ¡°What¡¯s the point of trying to save this?¡± they thought. ¡°Let it burn. Once it¡¯s burned, it¡¯ll be extinguished. Even if we wanted to, we don¡¯t have the resources.¡± ¡°The roads are difficult to navigate, and it took the organized convoy half a day to get here. We don¡¯t have the manpower and resources that Dragon Country has.¡± ¡°Even if we spray all our water, it won¡¯t put out much fire. It¡¯s spreading faster than we can extinguish it.¡± What to do about this¡­ Let it burn¡­ Hopefully it¡¯ll burn out.. The firefighters from Myanmar could only think like this. Inside the base, right after the convoy had been sent out, Zhao Bao called: ¡°Big Brother.¡± ¡°The hired mercenary teams have arrived.¡± ¡°The ex-Dragon Country mercenaries have reached Kachin State Airport.¡± ¡°The Russian and Freedom Country mercenaries are also starting to depart.¡± ¡°They¡¯ll arrive at Kachin State Airport the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all five-person squads.¡± ¡°Each person gets a monthly salary of fifty thousand Dragon Country coins.¡± Fifty thousand Dragon Country coins, which was roughly ten thousand fewer when converted to freedom coins. Without facing bullets and life-or-death situations, their usual tasks involved training soldiers. For these mercenaries, it was almost like picking up money. There were too many applicants, and Zhao Bao had to screen through them for a long time to select these three teams. Zhao Renzhou nodded and said into his phone: ¡°Let¡¯s bring these people in first.¡± ¡°Bring them all to the base.¡± ¡°Also, call Zhao Hu back.¡± ¡°Have him train with them for a few days.¡± ¡°See how they perform.¡± Before the time-traveling, Zhao Renzhou and his men were all self-made individuals, relying on sheer grit and combat skills. After time-traveling, he no longer needed such training. His serum-enhanced body made him several times more capable, and his experience as a former mercenary turned him into a real superhuman on land. Moreover, the limitless weapons and ammunition in the armory made it easy for him to single-handedly wipe out a small squad. However, it was different for his subordinates. They were all self-made individuals, and while the serum enhanced their physical abilities, their essence remained the same. Zhao Renzhou was their leader. They couldn¡¯t be training their subordinates all day long, and it just so happened that the mercenaries had arrived. Zhao Renzhou thought it would be good for Zhao Hu, Zhao Zhan, and Zhao Bao to train alongside the formally discharged soldiers. It made sense to let them spar and improve their skills. However, when it came to Zhao Ning, she couldn¡¯t train with these mercenaries. There were concerns about her safety, so it was best for Zhao Renzhou to personally oversee her training. Chapter 47 Chapter 47: Even the Dogs in the Village Must Act as Police DogsAfter giving orders to Zhao Bao, Zhao Renzhou found a recliner and reclined in it, squinting his eyes. He didn¡¯t know how much time had passed when Zhao Hu returned from Yabei Town. As soon as he entered the base, he shouted loudly, ¡°Big Brother!¡± ¡°Big Brother!¡± Zhao Renzhou was awakened by his loud voice and sat up from the recliner. ¡°Alright, stop shouting.¡± Zhao Hu hurriedly ran over. ¡°Big Brother.¡± Zhao Renzhou nodded, picked up a box of cigarettes from the nearby table, took one for himself, and tossed the rest to Zhao Hu. He lit his cigarette and placed it in his mouth. ¡°How did it go? Did you get injured yesterday?¡± Zhao Hu also lit his cigarette and took a puff. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Dealing with those trash was too easy.¡± ¡°Moreover, that injection of yours, Big Brother¡­¡± ¡°It works too well.¡± ¡°You have no idea.¡± ¡°Just standing on that armored pickup.¡± ¡°With my current strength, I can handle two light machine guns without shaking a bit.¡± ¡°The armed Dian militias were nothing against me.¡± ¡°It was like mowing the lawn.¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled and gave Zhao Hu a kick. ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to be proud of in beating up a bunch of militiamen?¡± ¡°That doesn¡¯t even count as a battlefield.¡± ¡°In the future, our business will expand internationally.¡± ¡°When that happens, if you charge ahead like you just said,¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be the first to die.¡± ¡°That serum only enhances physical fitness,¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t turn you into a superhero.¡± Zhao Hu grinned, ¡°I know, I know.¡± Zhao Renzhou gave him a disdainful look and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t take it lightly.¡± ¡°This time, I¡¯ve hired a few mercenary teams.¡± ¡°Zhao Bao is out picking them up.¡± ¡°They should arrive late tonight.¡± ¡°For now, put your current tasks aside.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about Yabei Town right now.¡± ¡°Just train here at the base for a while, then go back.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Hu¡¯s expression instantly turned sour. ¡°Seriously?! Big Brother?!¡± ¡°I still have to train?!¡± ¡°Look at my physique right now!¡± ¡°You think those mercenaries can beat me?¡± ¡°I can take them all on myself!¡± Zhao Renzhou replied without mincing words, ¡°Can you stop bullets?¡± Zhao Hu hesitated for a moment but still wanted to argue. Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t waste any words. He took out two silenced pistols and tossed one to Zhao Hu. Then, he pointed to six bottles randomly placed several meters away. ¡°Six rounds for each of us.¡± ¡°You call the start.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see whose gun is faster.¡± Zhao Hu looked at the pistol in his hand. He called for the start. That was practically a guaranteed win¡­ ¡°Big Brother?¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Zhao Renzhou said, ¡°Quit the nonsense.¡± ¡°Get on with it.¡± Zhao Hu nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± He held his breath and looked at the bottles¡­ ¡°Begin!¡± Bang, bang, bang¡­ The moment the shots rang out, Zhao Hu had already squeezed the trigger, but it was Zhao Renzhou beside him whose gun fired first. Six shots in quick succession. Zhao Hu watched as the bottles exploded almost simultaneously, feeling somewhat stunned. He had only fired four rounds. In other words, Zhao Renzhou, his big brother, had already emptied his gun. ¡°This¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou casually tossed his pistol aside. ¡°Having good physical fitness is just one aspect.¡± ¡°My gun is faster than yours.¡± ¡°Is your physical fitness going to be useful?¡± ¡°In the future, when you encounter landmines, bombs, shells,¡± ¡°And those RPGs you¡¯re familiar with,¡± ¡°Do you know what to do?¡± ¡°The three teams I hired through Zhao Bao,¡± ¡°All have combat experience in the Middle East.¡± ¡°Every one of them is battle-hardened.¡± ¡°Perhaps they don¡¯t have the same physical fitness as you, but their battlefield experience,¡± ¡°Is a thousand times more valuable than yours.¡± ¡°You, Zhao Bao, and Zhao Zhan,¡± ¡°What you need to do is absorb all of their experience,¡± ¡°So it becomes our own asset.¡± ¡°Our group will grow bigger and stronger.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t just hire people and train them under us.¡± ¡°We need to have our own assets.¡± ¡°Right now, just hiring them costs us 750,000 Longguo Coins per month.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t waste money.¡± ¡°You both need to study well.¡± After saying this, Zhao Renzhou looked at Zhao Hu, whose eyes had widened. ¡°What?!¡± ¡°750,000 Longguo Coins per month?!¡± ¡°My goodness.¡± ¡°Big Brother, how many people did you hire?¡± ¡°This is too damn expensive!¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled, ¡°There are a total of fifteen.¡± ¡°Five from Longguo, five from Maoguo, and five from the Free Nation.¡± S?a?ch* Th? ??v?l_Fir?.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°How much you learn depends on yourselves.¡± Zhao Hu grimaced, ¡°No problem.¡± ¡°You just watch.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try to finish learning from these guys as soon as possible.¡± ¡°And get rid of them.¡± ¡°Damn¡­¡± ¡°Fifteen people, 750,000¡­¡± ¡°That means each person costs a whopping 50,000¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckled, patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder, and gestured for him to sit down. Zhao Renzhou himself lay back in the nearby recliner. It seemed that money was still the best motivator. After all, these brothers had gotten used to a life of hardship. When they earned some money before, they didn¡¯t spend it on themselves but sent it back to their hometown to support development. Over the years, it had accumulated to millions. Combined with Zhao Renzhou¡¯s substantial funds, he wondered how things were back in their hometown now. He suddenly felt a sense of empathy. Thinking about this, Zhao Renzhou asked Zhao Hu beside him: ¡°By the way,¡± ¡°How¡¯s it going back in our hometown?¡± ¡°The money you¡¯ve been sending back these years, along with the money I¡¯ve given¡­¡± ¡°They must have built nice houses by now.¡± ¡°You went back once three years ago, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± Upon hearing this question, Zhao Hu¡¯s expression changed. Zhao Hu immediately brightened up and said, ¡°Big Brother, you haven¡¯t been back for too long.¡± ¡°But that¡¯s not even the best part.¡± ¡°Now, every family, every person has a little estate.¡± ¡°They live in two-story houses.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all uniformly planned.¡± ¡°Just in the village square alone, they¡¯ve built three of them.¡± ¡°And there are department stores, small markets.¡± ¡°Back in the day, our hometown¡­¡± ¡°That rugged mountain road.¡± ¡°Now it¡¯s paved with asphalt.¡± ¡°The village even has its own bus.¡± ¡°It goes to the town every day.¡± ¡°And there are kindergartens, primary schools.¡± ¡°They¡¯re all newly built, no need to trek through mountains and climb through mud like we did when we were kids.¡± ¡°So many people want to move to our village now.¡± ¡°There are only newcomers; no one is leaving.¡± ¡°They all can¡¯t bear to leave here.¡± Listening to Zhao Hu¡¯s description, Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and he started forming images in his mind. ¡°That sounds really nice¡­¡± There was a sense of nostalgia, as he remembered his hometown becoming better. But there was also a tinge of sadness, as he realized that even in this rebirth, he remained alone. Zhao Hu looked at Zhao Renzhou and fell silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly asked: ¡°Big Brother,¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go back and take a look?¡± ¡°Uncle San has been talking about you all the time.¡± ¡°They¡¯re getting old now.¡± ¡°It might be too late if you don¡¯t go back soon.¡± Zhao Renzhou closed his eyes, memories flashing in his mind. Back then, Zhao Father and Chen Father were into drugs and were in debt. This forced him and Chen Jinlong, both not even 14 years old at the time, to beg their way back to the village. They were still chased and eventually caught in the village. It was this Uncle San who went door-to-door in the village, asking for donations from each household, just to repay the debts. After that, Zhao Renzhou and Chen Jinlong sold the remaining few acres of land at home, scraped together some money for the journey, and set out to make their own way. That¡¯s how it¡¯s been up until now. In between, Zhao Renzhou went back once, just to bring seven people out from the village to help him. But¡­ Zhao Renzhou rubbed his temples and said, ¡°Go back¡­¡± ¡°How can I go back¡­¡± ¡°You guys all followed me when we were kids.¡± ¡°When I brought the seven of you out back then.¡± ¡°And now, three of them are gone in just a few years.¡± ¡°How can I face Uncle Liu, Aunt San, and the others?¡± ¡°I have no face to go back¡­¡± Another reason was that Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t have any close relatives left. They were all uncles and cousins, and going back alone would feel meaningless. Zhao Hu fell silent for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, Big Brother.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all fate¡­¡± ¡°When you¡¯re licking blood on the edge of a knife, there¡¯s bound to be casualties.¡± ¡°Besides, how much money have you given to the village these years?¡± ¡°In the past, our village was so impoverished, you could see everything at a glance.¡± ¡°People lived with their faces in the yellow earth and their backs to the sky.¡± ¡°Who would have dared to dream of living in a two-story house like now?¡± ¡°The village even has its own kindergarten, primary school, department store, and a direct bus stop to the town¡­.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already done a lot¡­.¡± ¡°Uncle Liu, Aunt San, they also have other children.¡± ¡°This whole situation isn¡¯t your fault.¡± ¡°When I called home a few days ago,¡± ¡°Uncle Liu said he misses you.¡± ¡°And Uncle San is getting old¡­.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t go back soon¡­¡± For a moment, there was silence, and then after a while, Zhao Renzhou took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled. ¡°Phew¡­¡± He tossed the cigarette to the ground, crushed it with his foot, and looked in the direction of Longguo. ¡°Wait until this busy period is over.¡± ¡°Maybe in two months.¡± Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhao Hu¡¯s face, and he stood up. ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call Uncle Liu right away!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let him know!¡± Zhao Renzhou shook his head, amused, and gazed into the distance. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Shocking Dragon Nation MercenariesWhile Zhao Hu made a call to his hometown, Zhao Renzhou stood in place, gazing at the moon. It was a moment that seemed to last for a long time. On the other side, in northern Myanmar, Kachin State, Myitkyina, Zhao Bao led his convoy out of the city and headed toward the direction of the seven border towns. Inside the spacious SUV, apart from the driver and Zhao Bao in the front seats, there were five Dragon Nation individuals seated in the back. They were all hired mercenaries with elite military backgrounds in the Dragon Nation. Each one of them had retired from the Dragon Nation¡¯s elite forces, and they looked sharp and well-disciplined. Chen Jie, the team leader, was responsible for command. There was also a sniper, a machine gunner, and two assault team members. As they left the city behind and entered a new environment, the group fell into a somewhat somber silence. The atmosphere inside the vehicle turned quiet for a while. Zhao Bao noticed this and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He grabbed one, lit it, and began to smoke. Offering the remaining cigarettes, Zhao Bao turned around and asked, ¡°Want one?¡± Chen Jie, the team leader, was about to refuse but then saw Guo Si, one of the assault team members, happily accepting a cigarette and lighting it. Guo Si then passed the pack to the others in the back. Chen Jie shook his head in resignation and looked at Zhao Bao. ¡°Brother,¡± he began, ¡°how much longer do you think it¡¯ll take for us to get there?¡± Zhao Bao checked the time and replied, ¡°It¡¯s still a way off. This isn¡¯t like the Dragon Nation. With these rough roads in northern Myanmar, we¡¯ll probably arrive in the early hours of the morning. If you¡¯re tired, you can take a nap.¡± Chen Jie shook his head and said, ¡°We¡¯re not tired. We slept on the plane. We¡¯re just curious about what exactly we¡¯re doing on this side.¡± The others also turned their attention to the conversation. After all, they were in the Golden Triangle, and they hadn¡¯t thought much about the mission when they were assigned to training duties in Myanmar. However, when they signed the contract and learned that the mission was in the northernmost part of Myanmar, inside the Golden Triangle, they began to have doubts. That region had a notorious reputation for drug trafficking, and they wondered if they were being hired to train soldiers for drug dealers. But after communicating with Zhao Bao, they felt that something was amiss. It was too organized, too legitimate to be drug traffickers. This made them hesitate and ultimately decide to stay on the mission. As they approached their destination, Chen Jie couldn¡¯t contain his curiosity and raised his concerns. Zhao Bao heard Chen Jie¡¯s question and understood the team¡¯s doubts. He reassured them, saying, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We are a legitimate company called the ¡®Golden Triangle Security Group.¡¯ As the name suggests, we provide security services. Our company is dedicated to maintaining peace and development in the Golden Triangle. We want to change the chaotic situation here with our own efforts. We¡¯ve just been established and lack some experienced instructors. That¡¯s why we hired a few international mercenary teams with combat experience to work as instructors for us. The contract will be for about two to three years, and each of you will receive a monthly salary of fifty thousand Dragon Nation coins. Of course¡­¡± ¡°More than just your team,¡± Zhao Bao continued, ¡°there¡¯s also a team from the Free Nation and a team from the Russians. You¡¯ll be divided into three groups. Each group will train a batch of personnel. We¡¯ll have regular competitions, and the winning side will receive rewards. If the soldiers you train win against those trained by the Free Nation and the Russians, it¡¯s a matter of pride for our country. After all, we¡¯re all Dragon Nation citizens.¡± The first part of Zhao Bao¡¯s speech left the mercenaries bewildered, thinking about the idealistic goal of maintaining peace in the Golden Triangle. However, the mention of competition with teams from other nations ignited their spirits. The prospect of representing their country in a competition added a new layer of motivation. Chen Jie nodded and said, ¡°So, that¡¯s how it is,¡± Chen Jie replied. ¡°That¡¯s reassuring.¡± Zhao Bao smiled and assured them, ¡°I understand your concerns. Rest assured, we are a legitimate company. While the conglomerate has some collaborations with certain organizations, our main business is trafficking raw materials, mostly to Mexico. Eventually, it ends up being consumed by the Free Nation. You could say we¡¯re fighting against the Free Nation¡¯s influence.¡± His light-hearted comment elicited laughter from the group. They were beginning to relax and trust Zhao Bao¡¯s words. However, their laughter was interrupted when the sniper, Yuan Lu, suddenly spoke up while looking at his phone. He wore a puzzled expression as he glanced at Zhao Bao. Chen Jin, becoming alert, asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The mercenaries shifted into defensive postures. Zhao Bao, still looking baffled, stayed calm and continued to focus on Yuan Lu. Yuan Lu raised his hand and said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t worry,¡± Yuan Lu reassured them. ¡°I have a question I¡¯d like to ask Mr. Zhao Bao.¡± Hearing that it was just a question, the group relaxed. Chen Jie rolled his eyes at the unnecessary scare tactics. Zhao Bao remained calm and asked, ¡°What¡¯s your question?¡± Yuan Lu nodded and said, ¡°Is the leader of your company named Zhao Renzhou?¡± This question made Zhao Bao furrow his brow, and he glanced at the group. After a moment of contemplation, he replied, ¡°Yes, that¡¯s correct. How did you know?¡± Yuan Lu¡¯s furrowed brow persisted as he explained, ¡°I found this information on the dark web. Someone posted a bounty for your company¡¯s conglomerate leader. It¡¯s a reward of $500,000, and there are already several people interested in claiming it. The post includes detailed information about someone named Zhao Renzhou, but there are no photos.¡± ¡°Publishers on this have said that Mr. Zhao Renzhou¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s a drug trafficker¡­¡± ¡°What¡­ How can you say that?¡± Yuan Lu furrowed his brows and handed over the phone. The atmosphere suddenly became tense again. S~?a??h the N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Bao took the phone. He looked at the wanted poster translated into multiple languages with a grim expression. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± He handed the phone back to Yuan Lu. ¡°You can rest assured about the drug trafficking.¡± ¡°My elder brother split with the previous boss because he was unhappy and collaborated in drug trafficking to the Dragon Nation.¡± ¡°They were all Dragon Nation citizens, and we couldn¡¯t do such brutal things.¡± ¡°Now, all the refining factories below have been shut down.¡± ¡°We only export raw materials to Mexico.¡± ¡°As for the person who issued this wanted poster.¡± ¡°I also know who it is.¡± ¡°The Shan State Army is our neighbor.¡± ¡°They¡¯re like warlords.¡± ¡°On the surface, they¡¯re under Myanmar¡¯s control, but they have their own domain.¡± ¡°There was a bit of conflict before due to territory.¡± ¡°We thought they had settled down.¡± ¡°They haven¡¯t made a move in these two days, didn¡¯t expect they were waiting for us here.¡± ¡°You can trust me on this; it won¡¯t affect our cooperation.¡± Zhao Bao¡¯s words were sincere, and he didn¡¯t seem like he was lying. This caused a few of them to lower their guard slightly, but there were still lingering doubts. However, no one voiced their concerns. Chen Jie merely exchanged a glance with Yuan Lu and gestured for him to continue checking information on his phone. A moment of silence fell inside the carriage¡­ After a while, Yuan Lu, engrossed in checking the information on his phone, widened his eyes. ¡°Hiss¡ª¡± He took in a sharp breath, looking at Chen Jie in utter disbelief. He handed over the phone to him, gesturing for him to take a look. The three members of the assault team beside them also leaned in to see. As they looked at the phone¡­ ¡°What the hell?!¡± Guo Si, the leader of the assault trio, couldn¡¯t hold back a curse. On the phone, several news headlines caught their attention. ¡¾Kexin State¡¯s fire has been burning for two days, destroying over 600,000 acres of forests to date.¡¿ ¡¾The leader of the Shan State Armed Group publicly accuses Zhao Renzhou, a drug trafficker from the Jia Wei Town area, of setting fire to the mountains, an unforgivable crime.¡¿ ¡¾The spokesperson for the Golden Triangle Security Group stated that the accusations made by the leader of the Shan State Armed Group against our company¡¯s chairman, Mr. Zhao Renzhou, are entirely baseless?!¡¿ Combining these headlines with what Zhao Bao had said earlier¡­ A bit of conflict happened? They thought they had settled down? So, this is how you make someone settle down. Setting the entire northern Myanmar on fire?! That¡¯s incredibly ruthless¡­ Chapter 49 Chapter 49: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Arsenal: Barrett? Grenades? Cloud-burst bombs?The group perused the news, their teeth aching as they read. Combining various pieces of information from the underworld, the wanted posters, and Zhao Bao¡¯s explanations, they recounted the sequence of events. In their minds, they were forming a vague impression of the man they had yet to meet, their employer. A ruthless man. Undoubtedly ruthless¡­ Because when the Shan State Armed Group attacked the villages under his control and made a threatening call to Chairman Zhao Renzhou, he responded even more ruthlessly. Without hesitation, he hung up the phone and immediately mobilized his troops. In less than half an hour, they assembled and loaded four trucks with incendiary bombs and gasoline. They drove directly to the Shan State Armed Group¡¯s location, setting fire to everything in their path. According to Zhao Bao¡¯s description, the fire line they left behind was over twenty kilometers long. And now, this massive fire had been burning for two days. As of now¡­ At least hundreds of thousands of acres of forests have been incinerated. That¡¯s beyond ruthless¡­ It¡¯s probably because the Myanmar government can¡¯t handle this. Their influence doesn¡¯t extend here. Otherwise, with these charges, he¡¯d have been executed multiple times over. And it¡¯s not just about ruthlessness. The methods employed are also incredibly cunning. Even when they watched Zhao Zhan¡¯s statement, they believed it to be the truth¡­ Let alone the common folk. Would you rather believe the words of a fierce-looking warlord brandishing a gun, or the words of a spokesperson in a friendly smile, wearing a suit, exuding righteousness? And one is a warlord, while the other runs a company. Put the two together, and people will undoubtedly sympathize with the weaker side. Moreover, the Shan State Armed Group isn¡¯t exactly a pleasant group. Right now, public opinion is siding with Zhao Renzhou. The Shan State Armed Group wants revenge, but they¡¯re also afraid that Zhao Renzhou will continue setting fires. They¡¯re unwilling to openly confront him. So, they put out a bounty on the dark web. They¡¯re trying to find someone from the outside to deal with Zhao Renzhou and save face. That¡¯s the speculation, at least. Unfortunately¡­ The bounty had just been posted when it was discovered. Several mercenaries from the Dragon Nation couldn¡¯t help but be curious about how Zhao Renzhou would react to this. However, they weren¡¯t particularly talkative individuals and kept their thoughts to themselves. Nevertheless, their respect for Zhao Renzhou deepened. After all, when they put themselves in his shoes and considered it from his perspective, they wouldn¡¯t dare to set fire to the mountains. They would probably resort to fighting or negotiating, but setting fire to the mountains was just too ruthless. They truly wouldn¡¯t dare to employ such a tactic. At first, they managed to hold out, but as time passed and it approached late at night, even after resting on the private plane provided, they couldn¡¯t resist the drowsiness that overcame them. They gradually fell asleep. As for Zhao Bao, after everyone had fallen asleep, he sent a message to Zhao Renzhou and also drifted off to sleep. The next day. Early morning. In the town of Jia Wei. At the base, as the sentries saw the approaching vehicles and recognized that Zhao Bao was inside, they quickly signaled their comrades and opened the base gate to allow them in. Inside the vehicle, the five-member team of mercenaries led by Chen Jie couldn¡¯t help but observe the base. It was a habit they had developed during their time on the battlefield. The more they observed, the more astonished they became. This wasn¡¯t just a base; it was a military fortress. Although the exterior didn¡¯t reveal much, what was mounted on the watchtowers was likely machine guns. The distance was too great to identify the exact model, but they were definitely machine guns. And these watchtowers, at least four of them, encircled the base. Inside the base, the patrols were armed with AK rifles, sending shivers down the spines of those watching. This kind of base couldn¡¯t be breached without significant casualties. No amount of experience would help unless they resorted to a direct artillery bombardment. But considering the situation in northern Myanmar, it¡¯s no wonder Chairman Zhao Renzhou dared to confront the Shan State Armed Group. This isn¡¯t just a company; this is practically a warlord in disguise, using the fa?ade of a company. Thinking about a group of Burmese netizens sympathizing with the righteous Zhao Zhan and accusing the Shan State Armed Group, Chen Jie couldn¡¯t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Such a powerful warlord, and they expect ordinary people to sympathize with them? Burmese people¡­ they¡¯ve been really deceived. They don¡¯t even think about it. The Shan State Armed Group has been entangled with the government forces for decades in this tiny patch of land in Kachin State. If the ¡°Golden Triangle Security Group¡± were truly as weak and innocent as they claim, the Shan State Armed Group wouldn¡¯t have the opportunity to accuse them on television; they would have been wiped out. Now, looking at it¡­ it¡¯s not that the Shan State Armed Group is afraid after being burned. It¡¯s more like they don¡¯t have the confidence to deal with the ¡°Golden Triangle Security Group¡± themselves. They had no choice but to seek external help and try to resolve the issue through assassinations. However¡­ Chen Jie gazed at the base, the nearly three-meter-high concrete walls, and wondered which mercenary group would take on this mission. The mercenary group that accepted this mission was surely cursed for generations. This base, even before getting close, could turn them into Swiss cheese in an instant. As thoughts swirled among the group, the vehicles slowly came to a stop at the armory. Zhao Bao opened the car door and stepped out. ¡°We¡¯ve arrived, everyone,¡± he announced. Chen Jie and the others grabbed their weapons and disembarked. Fortunately, during their negotiations, they had specified that they could bring their own weapons on the chartered flight. Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have dared to come without weapons. After getting out of the vehicle, they placed their packages on the ground. Zhao Bao pulled a key from his pocket and began unlocking the armory door. ¡°This is the armory,¡± he explained while working on the lock. ¡°My big brother mentioned that a new batch of equipment arrived yesterday. Feel free to choose what you like. You can have them as a gift when the mission is over. Consider it a perk for fellow countrymen from the Dragon Nation. It¡¯s also a special order from my big brother.¡± As he spoke, the door to the armory swung open. The iron gate was slowly pulled open by Zhao Bao, and as it swung aside, the familiar scent of gun oil mixed with the metallic tang rushed toward the group. Zhao Bao turned on the lights, and rows of large overhead lights lit up one after another, instantly illuminating the otherwise dark armory. The walls and shelves were covered with a vast array of weapons. There were rows of mortar launchers neatly arranged at the front of the shelves, and on the ground, new AKMs were stacked in a cone shape. RPG-7 rocket launchers were piled alongside them. Bulletproof vests and helmets were also readily available, all of them the latest products from the Free Nation. Wooden crates marked with ¡°grenades¡± were stacked like small mountains, and on the left wall of the warehouse, there were brand new light machine guns, sniper rifles, Desert Eagles, shotguns, and more. Yuan Lu, being a sniper, couldn¡¯t help but have his pupils contract as he stared at the sniper rifles. A row of AWMs would have been enough, but there was even a row of Barrett rifles hanging there. And there were plenty of supporting roles as well. A Barrett rifle with accessories cost nearly 10,000 Free Nation currency, which Yuan Lu had only fantasized about before and couldn¡¯t bear to buy. After all, even when converted to Dragon Nation currency, it would still be around 70,000 to 80,000. But now¡­ He could take one with him. Yuan Lu¡¯s breathing became erratic. On the other hand, Guo Si, as a grenadier, was also stunned. He stared at the various launchers on the wall to his right, including grenade launchers, rocket launchers, incendiary launchers, and more. What was most outrageous was¡­ S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. There were even goddamn cloud-burst grenade launchers?! What the heck? Was this still a company? No wonder it was called the Security Group; this equipment¡­ Anyone who saw it would instinctively cower in fear. Who dared to not submit to this? Guo Si¡¯s eyes were filled with envy. He really wanted to grab a cloud-burst grenade launcher. But it was just wishful thinking. They couldn¡¯t afford to use this stuff. Even the cheapest shell cost tens of thousands. How much money do you need to earn to afford this kind of consumption? But the thought of carrying a cloud-burst grenade and seeing it explode in action made their blood boil. Even Chen Jie, the team leader, was temporarily stunned. It took him a while to recover and look at Zhao Bao. ¡°Brother, this¡­¡± Zhao Bao smiled and reassured them, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Pick whatever you like¡ªwhether it¡¯s the Barrett, MG3 light machine gun, or anything else. We can afford this much. Look around, and I¡¯ll go inform my big brother. Go ahead and choose.¡± With that, Zhao Bao waved his hand and left. Seeing how generous they were, Chen Jie looked at his excited team members and couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°He¡¯s already said it¡­ Don¡¯t be shy.¡± Before he could finish his sentence, a gust of wind blew, and his subordinates rushed into the armory. They couldn¡¯t get enough, touching and admiring everything. Chen Jie chuckled helplessly and went forward to pick up an assault rifle while accessorizing it. As they explored the armory and got their hands on various weapons, their anticipation for their employer, Zhao Renzhou, grew even stronger. Chapter 50 Chapter 50: Firefighter Zhao RenzhouInside the base, Zhao Bao walked to Zhao Renzhou¡¯s bedroom. He knocked on the door and waited. After a moment, Zhao Hu¡¯s voice sounded, ¡°Come in.¡± Zhao Bao pushed the door open and saw Zhao Hu. He asked, ¡°Where¡¯s big brother?¡± Zhao Hu looked towards the inner room and replied, ¡°He¡¯s sleeping. Have the mercenaries arrived?¡± Zhao Bao nodded, and Zhao Hu got excited as he stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll go meet them,¡± he said, heading briskly towards the exit. Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but sigh, ¡°Hey! Be sure to talk to them nicely and don¡¯t scare them.¡± He called out in the direction of Zhao Hu¡¯s departure. Zhao Hu waved his hand and shouted back from the corridor, ¡°Got it.¡± At that moment, the door to the inner room also opened. Zhao Renzhou walked out and greeted, ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Zhao Bao replied with a soft ¡°Big brother¡± and joined Zhao Renzhou on the sofa. Zhao Renzhou poured two cups of tea, offering one to Zhao Bao. After taking a few sips, he asked, ¡°How are these new recruits?¡± Zhao Bao smiled and replied, ¡°They seem promising. They all appear to be quite competent. They¡¯re former soldiers from a special forces brigade and a boxing regiment in Longguo, and they¡¯re also Longguo nationals. Training new members should be no problem.¡± In this area near the Longguo border, the currency used in daily life was a mix of Burmese kyats and Longguo yuan. Most of the people spoke a dialect that was similar to Longguo¡¯s language, so communication wasn¡¯t a significant issue. However, one crucial requirement for the two remaining mercenary groups was to have at least one member who was proficient in Longguo¡¯s language to ensure smooth training. Zhao Bao put a lot of effort into the selection process, and Zhao Renzhou nodded in approval. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Zhao Renzhou said. ¡°Once everyone arrives, you come back too. Join them for two months of training.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Zhao Bao replied. He then brought up the matter of the attempted assassination by the Shan State Army. ¡°Do you think we should give them a warning?¡± Zhao Bao¡¯s idea of a warning was far from ordinary; it carried a strong scent of gasoline. Zhao Renzhou smiled and shook his head. He poured himself another cup of tea and said, ¡°Not for now. This matter isn¡¯t over yet. Let the fire burn out first.¡± The forest fire had been raging for three days now, and there was no sign of it stopping. They had no way of knowing when it would finally be extinguished. It wouldn¡¯t be prudent to start another fire right now. Thinking about how he hadn¡¯t fought at full strength since receiving the serum, Zhao Renzhou pondered for a moment and added, ¡°I¡¯ll deal with it after this fire is out.¡± Zhao Renzhou outlined his plan, saying, ¡°Here¡¯s what we¡¯ll do. Arrange for some media coverage, leak some internal information about me. Let them know that I¡¯m staying at my estate for a while. Reduce half of the guards there. I want to see what kind of people they can hire with 500,000 Free Coins. Let¡¯s see if they¡¯re up to the challenge.¡± He had a sly smile on his face. However, Zhao Bao couldn¡¯t help but express his concerns, furrowing his brows. ¡°Isn¡¯t that risky, big brother?¡± Zhao Bao asked. ¡°And with you away, what about the operation of the company?¡± Zhao Renzhou waved his hand dismissively and said, ¡°No worries. My safety is not an issue. These are all minor problems. You guys focus on your training. We now control three towns. In a couple of months, when the raw materials are ready for harvesting¡­¡± He paused, emphasizing the significance of the timing, ¡°That will be the time to reap what we¡¯ve sown.¡± Zhao Renzhou continued, ¡°Each of you will lead a team to eliminate the other three towns. Let those mercenary groups attack the fourth town. Once we control all seven towns along the border, I can safely return to our country for a while.¡± Zhao Bao¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed, ¡°Is this for real? Big brother, you¡¯re going back to our homeland?!¡± Zhao Bao¡¯s excitement was even greater than Zhao Renzhou¡¯s own. After all, Zhao Renzhou hadn¡¯t returned home in many years. This homecoming would be a significant event for the Zhao family, with elaborate celebrations and a grand welcome awaiting him. Zhao Renzhou smiled and asked, ¡°So, are you coming with me?¡± The thought of returning home after three years was tempting for Zhao Bao. He hesitated for a moment and then said, ¡°Well, I suppose I can make it work.¡± S?a??h th? N0v?lFire(.)n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Zhao Renzhou patted Zhao Bao on the shoulder and said, ¡°That¡¯s settled, then. We¡¯ll go together.¡± ¡°Two months from now, come back with me to our homeland,¡± Zhao Renzhou suggested. ¡°By then, things should have settled down here, and we can focus on stable development. Regarding the group¡¯s affairs, you and Zhao Zhan can take turns managing them. I¡¯ll play the role of a ¡®behind-the-scenes mastermind,''¡± he added with a playful tone. This suggestion brought a smile to Zhao Bao¡¯s face. Then, he remembered something and asked, ¡°By the way, big brother, should we meet with those mercenaries? They¡¯re currently selecting weapons.¡± Zhao Renzhou shook his head and replied, ¡°No need to meet them. I¡¯ll be heading to the villa shortly. You can arrange things for them.¡± Zhao Bao nodded and said, ¡°Understood.¡± As Zhao Renzhou got up, he instructed, ¡°Alright, you go ahead and make arrangements. I¡¯ll head to the villa now.¡± Zhao Bao followed him as they left the room. In the corridor outside, the Dragon Nation mercenaries, led by Captain Chen Jie and Yuan Lu, were both astonished and shocked. Their eyes were filled with amazement as they watched the confrontation between four individuals on the ground. When the imposing and muscular Zhao Hu, who exuded a fierce aura, came out to greet them and proposed a sparring match, they were taken aback. Zhao Hu¡¯s massive physique left them in disbelief. The squad leader, Guo Si, who was a seasoned assault specialist, couldn¡¯t help but feel challenged by Zhao Hu¡¯s presence. He watched as they engaged in a brief contest, and in less than five seconds, Guo Si found himself being lifted and thrown seven to eight meters away. Even when he got back on his feet, his head was still spinning in confusion. Was this fair? Could this be considered reasonable? Guo Si was no lightweight, weighing around 175 pounds and boasting a muscular physique. Yet he had been effortlessly lifted and thrown such a distance. It was almost as if he were dealing with a superhuman. To add insult to injury, Zhao Hu wore a mocking smile on his face throughout the ordeal. This left the mercenaries even more bewildered and incredulous. ¡°This is roughly how it went. The scene of the three heroes battling Lu Bu. But considering Zhao Hu¡¯s appearance, It would be more suitable to call it the three heroes against an evil force¡­ At this moment, Zhao Bao walked out. Watching the scene in the field, He found it somewhat amusing. Approaching Chen Jie, he said: ¡°How is it, Captain Chen?¡± ¡°Have you made your selections?¡± Chen Jie and Yuan Lu turned to look at him. Chen Jie responded slowly: ¡°We¡¯ve made our selections.¡± ¡°This gentleman¡­¡± Looking at Zhao Hu in the field, Zhao Bao smiled and said: ¡°I¡¯m Zhao Bao, and he¡¯s Zhao Hu.¡± ¡°He¡¯s my own brother.¡± As his words fell silent, Sighs¡ª Sighs¡ª The voices of Chen Jie and Yuan Lu inhaling sharply. Looking at Zhao Hu¡¯s body, which resembled that of a raging bear, and his fierce face, And then looking at Zhao Bao, who, although somewhat gloomy, had a slender physique, It was impossible to associate them as brothers in any way.¡± Chen Jie¡¯s mouth twitched: ¡°Your brother here¡­¡± ¡°Has some seriously impressive physical qualities¡­¡± ¡°If he lived in ancient times,¡± ¡°He¡¯d be a one-man army.¡± ¡°No doubt about it.¡± ¡°With that physique and armor,¡± ¡°He could just carry a big sword and wreak havoc.¡± ¡°But unfortunately, it¡¯s modern times now.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve got firearms.¡± ¡°In close combat, Zhao Hu is unmatched, no doubt.¡± ¡°But if someone wanted to take him down, it wouldn¡¯t be too hard.¡± Zhao Bao shook his head and smiled: ¡°We, brothers, are just a bit better in terms of physique.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why Big Brother took an interest in us.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve been wandering around all this time.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s all experiential learning; we lack systematic training.¡± ¡°For the next little while, we might need your help.¡± ¡°Oh, and one more thing.¡± ¡°I want to apologize.¡± ¡°My eldest brother,¡± ¡°He¡¯s got some urgent business and needs to leave for a while.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯ll get to meet him.¡± Chen Jie nodded: ¡°No problem, we understand.¡± ¡°After all, it¡¯s such a big corporation.¡± ¡°He must be a really busy person,¡± Chen Jie remarked. They exchanged a few more pleasantries. Not far away, A black jeep pulled out. Chen Jie glanced back, Suddenly feeling a chill run down his spine. As if there was some fierce beast lurking behind those pitch-black car windows. Chen Jie¡¯s pupils contracted. It wasn¡¯t hard to guess that Zhao Renzhou was behind those windows¡­ The intensity of this presence¡­ He didn¡¯t dare to think too much about it. He turned his head to look at the ongoing battle in the field. What the others didn¡¯t know was that the group wasn¡¯t really that busy right now. Zhao Renzhou had some matters to attend to. Zhao Ning and Chi Yunmeng, These two had been together for nearly two days, And they were on the verge of fighting each other¡­ Zhao Renzhou had to go put out that fire¡­ Chapter 51 Chapter 51: Chi Yunmeng: Captivity?Jiawei Town. Estate a black Jeep. Speeding towards the destination. A drift and slide as it stops at the gate. Zhao Renzhou opens the car door and steps out. He walks towards the villa¡¯s interior. Inside the villa. Zhao Ning, with a cold expression, crosses his arms. Sitting on the sofa. His feet resting on the coffee table. Watching TV. Chi Yunmeng sits at the dining table. Poking at the bowl of rice porridge with a spoon. Seething with anger. Staring intensely at Zhao Ning. As if sulking. Fiercely picking up the spoon. Scooping up some rice porridge. Putting it in her mouth. Chewing it vigorously. No choice. Zhao Renzhou is not around these past two days. She can¡¯t win in a fight. She can¡¯t compare either. Originally, she could have mocked Zhao Ning a bit. About Zhao Ning¡¯s tablet. Teasing her with this matter. But because of that potion, Zhao Ning isn¡¯t exactly a child anymore. Now she finds herself at a loss. This brat Zhao Ning. These past two days, she has taken over her room and won¡¯t let her in. It¡¯s almost driving her crazy. I¡¯m the damn owner of this villa! But I end up sleeping in the guest room. What is this? Chi Yunmeng is grinding her teeth. Zhao Renzhou enters from outside. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°You¡¯re calling so early.¡± As soon as Zhao Renzhou enters, Zhao Ning instantly stands up from the sofa. Her face suddenly blushes a bit. ¡°Big brother.¡± She wonders if he saw what happened earlier. Zhao Renzhou nods. ¡°Yeah.¡± Then, he looks towards Chi Yunmeng. Chi Yunmeng gives him a sidelong glance. ¡°Can you control your dear little sister?!¡± ¡°Taking over my room.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let me in.¡± ¡°And you think that¡¯s reasonable?¡± Zhao Ning glares back. ¡°Big brother told me to sleep there.¡± ¡°Why should the room be changed?¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s gamble with those words makes her seethe with anger. Did your big brother tell you to do that?! That guy Zhao Renzhou. He just threw you in there when he arrived. Did he even ask me?! Dammit! A pair of troublesome lovebirds! Chi Yunmeng takes a deep breath and looks at Zhao Renzhou. ¡°You tell me.¡± ¡°Whose room is it?!¡± Zhao Ning also looks over. Both of them stare. Zhao Renzhou raises an eyebrow. Suddenly, he senses a strong scent of gunpowder in the air. ¡°What¡¯s all this noise?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a room, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Chi Yunmeng.¡± ¡°Later, you move to the basement.¡± S?a?ch* Th? N0??F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Anning, you¡­¡± Before the sentence is finished¡­ Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Veins on her forehead pulsated. Her fists clenched tightly. That guy Zhao Renzhou. He doesn¡¯t even see me as a person¡­ He wants me to give up my room and live in the basement?! Unbelievable! Chi Yunmeng throws the spoon in her hand aside. Without even putting on her slippers, she uses her long, snow-white legs to stride towards Zhao Renzhou. ¡°You bastard!¡± ¡°Am I going to fight you?!¡± Her momentum looks fierce. She appears protective, to some extent. Zhao Ning smirks. She directly blocks Chi Yunmeng¡¯s path. Locks her down firmly. And drags her down onto the nearby sofa. Presses her down. ¡°How about that? Did you hear it?¡± As soon as Chi Yunmeng hears this, her resistance intensifies. Seeing that she can¡¯t break free, she tries to bite Zhao Ning¡¯s arm. Zhao Renzhou steps forward. Pulls the two apart directly. One on each side. ¡°Enough.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t finished talking yet.¡± ¡°Anning, you go back to the base.¡± ¡°The mercenary team we recruited earlier has arrived.¡± ¡°You can train with Azhan, A¡¯bao, Ahu, and the others.¡± Zhao Ning¡¯s eyes widen. ¡°What?!¡± Her two big eyes show disbelief. Zhao Renzhou flicks Zhao Ning¡¯s forehead with his hand. ¡°What¡¯s with the ¡®what¡¯?¡± ¡°Improve yourself a bit more.¡± ¡°Otherwise, the injection of that potion will be in vain.¡± Zhao Ning covers her head and mumbles, ¡°Oh¡­¡± On the other side, Chi Yunmeng, who was initially amused, suddenly stops laughing. Wait a minute¡­ Zhao Ning has left¡­ And he wants me to stay in the basement?! What is this guy up to?! Could it be some kind of captivity play¡­? Is he this much of a pervert?! Chi Yunmeng looks at Zhao Renzhou with a hint of fear. Chapter 52 Chapter 52: Chi Yunmeng: Hey? Sister¡­!Meanwhile, on Zhao Ning¡¯s side, Seeing Chi Yunmeng suddenly looking frightened, And then glancing at Zhao Renzhou, She involuntarily lets her imagination run wild. Her face turns red in an instant. No. It couldn¡¯t be?! Could it be that Renzhou likes that kind of thing¡­? Zhao Ning¡¯s thoughts start to wander. Suddenly, she becomes a bit shy. Thinking about what to do in the future if it¡¯s really like that. Should she accept it? Or should she refuse first and then accept it under pressure? Seeing Zhao Ning becoming all bashful, Zhao Renzhou furrows his brow, puzzled. Not understanding the reason, He turns to look.and he sees Chi Yunmeng¡¯s terrified expression. A faint smirk tugs at the corner of Zhao Renzhou¡¯s mouth. He¡¯s found the reason. These two probably have no idea what they¡¯re thinking about him. ¡°What are you thinking?!¡± ¡°I told you to stay in the basement.¡± ¡°It¡¯s because there will be mercenaries attacking soon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll deal with them here.¡± ¡°You stay upstairs.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send them packing with another shot.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t dream of asking me for revenge later.¡± After saying this, both of them finally understand. They put away their expressions of fear and shyness. Chi Yunmeng is a bit puzzled. ¡°An attack?¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°Who would dare to attack Zhao Renzhou in this place?¡± The key is that he already knows about it¡­ This attacker seems a bit foolish¡­ Zhao Ning is a bit nervous. ¡°In that case, don¡¯t stay here, Renzhou ge.¡± ¡°What if you get hurt?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the base.¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s eyes widen. This girl is quite cunning, huh? He¡¯s leaving?! Leaving me here to die?! Zhao Renzhou waves his hand. He sits down on the sofa. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°The address was deliberately leaked by me.¡± ¡°I want to see what kind of strength those mercenaries really have.¡± ¡°If they dare to come for my life.¡± His tone exudes confidence. After hearing this, Zhao Ning bites her lip, feeling conflicted. ¡°This¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou smiles. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°When have I ever done something without assurance?¡± ¡°Ah Hu, Ah Bao, they¡¯re not worried either.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Zhao Ning snorts lightly. ¡°That¡¯s because they have no conscience!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll settle the score with them later!¡± Zhao Renzhou shakes his head and smiles. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°You tidy up here.¡± ¡°Have you eaten yet?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll go to the base for training later.¡± ¡°Learn from others.¡± He gets up and heads towards the kitchen. When he reaches the dining table, he takes two bowls, fills one with porridge, and pushes it over. Zhao Ning smiles provocatively. She looks at Chi Yunmeng as if taunting her. Zhao Ning happily rushes over to have her porridge. Meanwhile, Chi Yunmeng is on the sofa, Fuming with an itchy temper, she shouts: ¡°That¡¯s my porridge!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let that little brat have any!¡± Zhao Renzhou lifts his head, Gives her a disdainful look, and doesn¡¯t respond. He calmly serves himself a bowl of porridge and starts eating. Chi Yunmeng feels a throbbing headache. Those two bastards¡­ She looks at the several throw pillows on the sofa, Picks them all up and throws them in the direction of the dining table. Unfortunately, she doesn¡¯t hit any of them. Then she gets up without looking at the two of them, Clomp , clomp¡ª She heads upstairs directly, Returns to the room that Zhao Ning has taken over, And locks it from the inside. Meanwhile, downstairs, after Zhao Renzhou finishes his meal and chats with Zhao Ning for a while, He waits until Zhao Ning leaves. By then, it¡¯s almost nine o¡¯clock. Zhao Renzhou slowly goes upstairs, Approaches the door of the room, Twists the handle. Click click¡ª But the door won¡¯t budge. Zhao Renzhou knocks on the door, And from inside, Chi Yunmeng¡¯s irritated voice is heard: ¡°Get lost!¡± Zhao Renzhou chuckles. He goes downstairs to the study and finds the key, Then returns to the second floor and unlocks the door directly. He pushes the door open and enters the bedroom. He¡¯s greeted by a pillow, But he lifts his right hand and holds it in front of his face, Blocking it. He grabs the pillow and tosses it back onto the bed. ¡°Looks like you haven¡¯t cleaned up in a few days.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve become quite audacious.¡± ¡°Hmm?¡± Chi Yunmeng gives him a sidelong glance. ¡°I won¡¯t keep you away from your dear sister.¡± ¡°Why have you come up here?¡± Zhao Renzhou looks strangely at her. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because she left.¡± ¡°I came to find you.¡± He wears a look as if he¡¯s talking to a fool. Chi Yunmeng clutches her chest, As if she¡¯s been hit hard. She takes a deep breath. ¡°You¡¯re quite straightforward, huh¡­¡± A resentful voice squeezes out from between Chi Yunmeng¡¯s teeth. He really is such an honest guy. Can¡¯t even tell me a couple of lies?! Can¡¯t even bother to console me?! Chi Yunmeng becomes increasingly irritated. She vents her frustration by pounding the pillow, Ignoring Zhao Renzhou. Zhao Renzhou walks over and embraces Chi Yunmeng. ¡°Just teasing you.¡± ¡°Regardless, she¡¯s my sister.¡± S~?a??h the ?0velF?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Chi Yunmeng snorts lightly. ¡°She¡¯s not even your real sister.¡± ¡°She¡¯s your ¡®nominal¡¯ sister¡­¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that even more thrilling¡­¡± She isn¡¯t really targeting Zhao Ning. The issue lies in their current status. Previously, Zhao Ning was indeed a sister, So teasing the young girl was quite amusing. But now, Zhao Ning and she are essentially rivals. That makes things awkward¡­ And Chi Yunmeng¡¯s sarcastic tone makes Zhao Renzhou¡¯s grip unconsciously tighten a bit, Causing Chi Yunmeng to frown. ¡°Ouch¡­¡± She can¡¯t help but pat Zhao Renzhou¡¯s hand. Zhao Renzhou says in a low voice, ¡°Who asked you to talk nonsense.¡± ¡°This is your punishment.¡± Chi Yunmeng grits her teeth. ¡°Who talked nonsense?¡± ¡°Do you know why Zhao Ning hasn¡¯t moved out of this room?¡± Zhao Renzhou raises an eyebrow. ¡°Why?¡± Chi Yunmeng looks at him as if he¡¯s a beast, And she says in a low voice, ¡°Your ¡®dear¡¯ sister¡­¡± ¡°She tried on all the clothes in my closet.¡± ¡°Each one in there was personally chosen by you.¡± ¡°Think about it, why would she want to try on these clothes?¡± There isn¡¯t a single normal piece of clothing in the closet. All of them were chosen by Zhao Renzhou earlier, Similar to the ones that only go down to the thighs. This little girl, After her flat-chested phase, has become bolder. No wonder she¡¯s been occupying the room and not coming out. If it weren¡¯t for her returning today, And discovering something was amiss when looking for clothes, I wouldn¡¯t have guessed that the little brat had reached this point¡­ Thinking about this, Chi Yunmeng¡¯s sense of crisis becomes more urgent. Unable to resist, Chi Yunmeng tells Zhao Renzhou, Wishing to see his reaction. But on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s end, He doesn¡¯t even blink. ¡°If she wants to wear them, let her.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll buy a new batch for you later.¡± He says it with an air of grandeur, Which makes Chi Yunmeng¡¯s veins throb. Is this¡­ the point?! Is this guy doing it on purpose?! He must be doing it on purpose?! Chi Yunmeng clenches her teeth with hatred. Zhao Renzhou smiles and leans in to whisper in her ear: ¡°I won¡¯t comment on Zhao Ning.¡± ¡°But actually¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite interested in your sister.¡± His warm breath attacks Chi Yunmeng¡¯s earlobe, Sending a tingling sensation coursing through her body. Chi Yunmeng forces herself to maintain her hazy gaze. ¡°Just get lost!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t set your sights on my sister!¡± This guy! Don¡¯t I have a sister too?! What¡¯s the matter?! You can¡¯t bear to?! You¡¯re treating my sister like yours?! Are you even human?! She tries to push Zhao Renzhou away by bracing her arms, But at that moment, Her phone starts ringing. Chi Yunmeng¡¯s eyes suddenly widen, And she tries to reach for her phone on the bedside table. However, Zhao Renzhou directly holds her down, Picks up the phone, and says with a hint of a smile: ¡°Speak, sister, your sister¡¯s here¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s your sister calling.¡± ¡°Will you answer or not?¡± Chi Yunmeng struggles for a moment but can¡¯t break free. She glances at Zhao Renzhou with disdain, ¡°Don¡¯t answer.¡± Zhao Renzhou smiles, presses the answer button, and puts it on speakerphone, Holding it near Chi Yunmeng¡¯s ear. Chi Yunmeng is both angry and anxious, She glares at Zhao Renzhou before reluctantly answering her sister on the phone, ¡°Hello?¡­ Yeah¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng lets out a muffled sound, Twisting her body, Struggling even harder. Chapter 53 Chapter 53: Explosive Chi Yunxi, Help Me?!On the other end of the phone, Chi Yunxi is left stunned. She suddenly feels that the morning air is exceptionally hot, almost scalding. Her face flushes bright red. She glances around, wondering if something is on fire. If she weren¡¯t sitting in a quiet corner of the classroom right now, her red cheeks alone would have landed her in the school nurse¡¯s office. Meanwhile, Chi Yunmeng is sprawled across her desk, her mind filled with frantic screams. Help?! Why?! Why?! Aaaahhh! Why is it still¡­ during the day?! Oh my God¡­! Chi Yunxi has learned her lesson from the last time she called during the middle of the night and heard strange sounds. This time, it¡¯s not only during the day, but it¡¯s also in a less crowded corner of the classroom and during class breaks. It¡¯s still past nine o¡¯clock! At this time! Why?! Why is it still like this?! Can my sister endure this?! Calling in the middle of the night was one thing! But calling during the day is something else! I¡­ I shouldn¡¯t have made this call¡­ Chi Yunmeng buries her head deep in her arms, the phone still by her side. It¡¯s not until the Chi Yunxi on the other end, after calling her several times, finally says her name softly that Chi Yunxi snaps back to reality. She does her best to regulate her breathing and voice, not wanting her sister to notice. But deep down, she¡¯s well aware of the awkward situation. She clears her throat slightly and speaks in a steady voice, trying not to let her sister catch on, ¡°Sis¡­¡± On the other end of the phone, Chi Yunmeng responds with a nonchalant ¡°Hmm?¡± ¡°What¡¯s¡­ happening¡­¡± With a soft ¡°Hmm,¡± she can still maintain her composure. But as for Zhao Renzhou, this guy¡­ the more this goes on¡­ Chi Yunmeng¡¯s voice starts to quiver as she speaks. She can¡¯t help but turn around and pat herself, trying to push away the embarrassment. But the voice on the other end makes Chi Yunxi¡¯s face even redder. She feels like her entire being has overheated, and her CPU is malfunctioning. She stammers, ¡°I-it¡¯s nothing¡­ just, at the end of the year, Grandpa is celebrating his eightieth birthday, and I wanted to ask if you¡¯ll come back?¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s voice sounds somewhat unnatural, ¡°Mm¡­ I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll see¡­¡± Chi Yunxi immediately responds, ¡°Okay! I got it!¡± She then quickly presses the end call button, finally letting out a sigh of relief. She slowly lifts her head, her face still flushed. Chi Yunxi covers her heart, feeling it pounding heavily, unable to calm down. ¡°Why am I so nervous?!¡± she thinks. ¡°I¡¯m not the one who should be nervous! It should be my sister!¡± But after complaining to herself, she realizes¡­ Chi Yunxi¡¯s frustration continued to rise. ¡°Arghhh, what¡¯s wrong with this?! Calling at night was bad enough, but during the day too?!!¡± She mumbled to herself. Meanwhile, at the villa in Kachin State, Myanmar, on the second floor, Chi Yunmeng had realized what was going on. Her face was flushed with embarrassment and annoyance as she looked at Zhao Renzhou, who had just revealed the phone call situation. She pushed him forcefully and shouted, ¡°Get lost!!! You¡¯re nuts!¡± She had expected some resistance, but Zhao Renzhou surprised her by letting go, leaving her momentarily stunned. Suddenly, there was a bit of bewilderment in the air. As she looked at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s somewhat enigmatic expression. Chi Yunmeng realized what was happening. Unable to bear the embarrassment, she grabbed the blanket tightly. Zhao Renzhou smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Do you want to go back to your home country?¡± Chi Yunmeng¡¯s annoyed voice came from under the blanket, ¡°Hmph¡­ Do you really think you¡¯ll let me go back?¡± She had been lured here. S?a??h the ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. It had been several years already. In all these years, She hadn¡¯t even left this villa estate. She had grown from a young girl to a young woman here, forcibly. She had long given up on the idea of returning. But Zhao Renzhou¡¯s next words, Sent a shock through her heart. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s voice came from outside, ¡°If you really want to¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not impossible.¡± Chi Yunmeng, under the blanket, suddenly opened her eyes, completely disregarding the recent embarrassment. She lifted the blanket and sat up. ¡°What did you say?¡± She stared directly at Zhao Renzhou, trying to discern whether he was just trying to deceive her. Zhao Renzhou chuckled lightly, ¡°If you want to, in two months, I¡¯ll be going back to the country for a visit. You can come along.¡± After he finished speaking, Chi Yunmeng stared at Zhao Renzhou for a long time, scrutinizing his sincere demeanor, but finding no signs of deception. She took a deep breath and asked, ¡°Are you being serious?¡± Zhao Renzhou, looking at the serious Chi Yunmeng, had a peculiar expression on his face. ¡°Do I have a reason to deceive you?¡± he asked. Chi Yunmeng snorted, ¡°You can¡¯t be too sure. That scoundrel Chen Jinlong used to say the same thing, but you still had him eliminated. And here I am¡­¡± She turned her head away, gazing out of the window, but unfortunately, there was nothing beyond the estate. She had seen this scenery countless times before. Zhao Renzhou reached out, grasping Chi Yunmeng¡¯s chin and turning her face towards him. He looked into her eyes and said, ¡°I¡¯m not like that guy, Chen Jinlong. Promises I make won¡¯t go unfulfilled. Besides¡­¡± Zhao Renzhou, with a smirk playing on his lips, continued to hold onto Chi Yunmeng¡¯s chin and scanned her up and down. He said, ¡°You don¡¯t seriously think that in this world¡­¡± Chi Yunmeng couldn¡¯t help but widen her eyes. What did he mean by that? Did he think of her as an object? That he could just replace with something else? Her thoughts raced. However, on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s end, he applied a slight pressure with his palm. Chi Yunmeng¡¯s entire body fell backward onto the bed. She lay there, staring at the ceiling. Zhao Renzhou, appearing as though he was about to get off the bed, left Chi Yunmeng with doubts. Did she lose her appeal? This shouldn¡¯t be happening! Taking a deep breath, Chi Yunmeng rose abruptly from the bed and grabbed onto Zhao Renzhou, who was attempting to get up. She looked into his eyes and asked, ¡°Is everything you just said¡­ true?¡± Deep down, she had already believed his words. Zhao Renzhou cast a sidelong glance at Chi Yunmeng, ignoring her. He was about to get up. However, Chi Yunmeng refused to let go. She clung to Zhao Renzhou, hanging onto him tightly, and demanded, ¡°Wait! You¡¯re not allowed to leave?!¡± Her arms locked firmly around him as she used all her strength to try and pull Zhao Renzhou back. Zhao Renzhou made no resistance and simply fell back onto the bed, gazing at Chi Yunmeng. Chi Yunmeng straddled Zhao Renzhou¡¯s body and leaned in closely, their noses almost touching. She stared directly into his eyes and said, ¡°I believe you¡­¡± What followed was an attempt by Chi Yunmeng to take control, but Zhao Renzhou swiftly rolled over, pulling the blanket over them as their passions ignited¡­ Chapter 54 Chapter 54: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Head Easy to Fetch? Just a Small-Time Drug Dealer¡­A little more than half a day passed. Exhausted, Chi Yunmeng fell asleep in Zhao Renzhou¡¯s arms. However, something seemed to cross her mind, causing a slight quirk at the corner of her lips, as though she had had a pleasant dream. Several days later, Zhao Renzhou sat on a recliner on the rooftop. His hands rested behind his head as he squinted his eyes, savoring the rare tranquility. During this period, Zhao Renzhou had been staying here, with nights filled with revelry. After that incident with Chi Yunmeng, she became even more proactive, as if she aimed to conquer Zhao Renzhou. However, each time, she would be the one to yield first. Training at the base continued in an organized manner. Mercenaries from Russia and the Free States had arrived, and training had gradually begun. Although Zhao Renzhou¡¯s organization was officially referred to as a ¡°security company,¡± once these troops completed their training, there would be three thousand armed soldiers equipped with AK rifles. It could be said that Zhao Renzhou was the undisputed ruler on this side of Kexin State, essentially a small warlord. With the business model of his company, he didn¡¯t need to worry much. s?a??h th? ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Currently, the sole source of income was the raw material base, as there were no other operations. They were just waiting for the raw materials to mature for harvesting. In the end, it still wasn¡¯t bustling enough. No one would open a casino in this place, and even the recently emerging online fraud industry didn¡¯t venture into this border area; it was just too remote. As for other businesses, they could be considered once they had control over the entire Kexin State. Suddenly, his phone rang. Zhao Renzhou reached for it and answered, ¡°Hello?¡± On the other end of the line, Zhao Bao¡¯s voice came through, ¡°Big brother, your bounty is on the dark web. It looks like someone has taken it, and they seem to have hired a mercenary group.¡± ¡°They might come knocking in this period,¡± Zhao Bao informed. Zhao Renzhou nodded slightly and replied, ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± After that, he hung up the phone. He then stood up and walked to the edge of the rooftop, elevating himself to get a better view. His gaze swept across the area, where every potential hiding spot became clearly visible. Zhao Renzhou took mental note of these locations. If someone were to attack, and they didn¡¯t come charging directly, they would likely approach from these positions. Of course, it was also possible that they might use vehicles or even helicopters, but that seemed unlikely due to the significant commotion it would cause. The defenses at the entrance weren¡¯t to be underestimated. The most secure approach would be to assassinate the guards around the perimeter and then infiltrate the premises, ensuring that nothing went wrong. Chi Yunmeng appeared by Zhao Renzhou¡¯s side, approaching from behind and hugging him. She said, ¡°It¡¯s time for dinner. Let¡¯s go downstairs.¡± Chi Yunmeng remained wrapped around Zhao Renzhou, not letting go or descending from him. Zhao Renzhou didn¡¯t pay her much mind and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± before turning and making his way down the stairs with this rather conspicuous accessory. He advised, ¡°Don¡¯t leave the house in the next few days. Stay quietly in the basement. The sacrificial lambs are already on their way¡­¡± In the northern part of Myanmar, within Kexin State, lay the largest city, Minah. On the outskirts of the city, in the estate of a man named Minden, Minden sat in the foremost seat on the living room sofa. He gestured for his subordinate to bring over some documents and handed them to the leader of the hired mercenaries on the other side¡ªa total of nine individuals, encompassing both white and black mercenaries. It was rumored that several of them were retired Navy SEALs who had executed numerous assassinations during their service. Whether this was true or not remained uncertain, but the reputation alone was enough. To assassinate a drug dealer who had yet to gain much power seemed like a misallocation of their talents. Minden lit a cigar. Minden turned his gaze to the mercenary group leader with the rugged brown beard and said, ¡°Based on our investigation, it¡¯s highly likely that this Zhao Renzhou discovered the bounty on the dark web. However, he hasn¡¯t reinforced his defenses. Instead, he withdrew half of his estate¡¯s guards. It¡¯s clear that he¡¯s fishing, waiting for you to take the bait. So, do you have confidence in this mission?¡± The brown-bearded mercenary leader chuckled dismissively and replied, ¡°Putting on a show, just as expected from you Dragonland people. It¡¯s just a drug dealer.¡± ¡°When my team and I served in the Navy SEALs, we assassinated high-ranking officials in the Middle East. It was much more challenging than dealing with a drug dealer.¡± ¡°But once we received the mission, none of them survived more than five days. That¡¯s our strength. Just prepare a helicopter for us. The rest, we¡¯ll handle once we get the message.¡± Minden furrowed his brow. Until now, the mercenaries on the other side had no idea he was Minden and believed him to be a spokesperson for the Shan armed forces. However, if he were to lend out a helicopter¡­ In case there were any issues, it would be easy to trace back to him with the helicopter. If something went wrong, it could lead to a confrontation. Minden, an old hand at international dealings, understood human nature all too well. If they failed to kill Zhao Renzhou on the first try and were discovered, it would lead to endless retaliation. Despite his relatively small-scale operation, Minden saw a reflection of himself in Zhao Renzhou, a ruthless and determined individual. If they couldn¡¯t eliminate Zhao Renzhou in one go, he would surely make them regret it. Minden knew this because he was cut from the same cloth. The mercenary leader on the other side could sense Minden¡¯s hesitation and spoke up, ¡°What are you worried about? This is the safest approach. Take a look at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s villa estate.¡± He pushed a set of photographic materials across the table. ¡°Within a one-kilometer radius¡­¡± ¡°Almost no obstructing elements,¡± the mercenary leader continued explaining confidently to Minden. ¡°Even if we drive the fastest vehicle over there, it would provide them with enough reaction time.¡± ¡°Dealing with the guards once they¡¯re alerted would be the real challenge.¡± ¡°But with a helicopter, it¡¯s a different story. In the pitch-black night, they won¡¯t see the sky.¡± ¡°It would take only a few seconds to reach the villa¡¯s airspace and surround it using rope rappelling. With a villa of this size and nine of us, we¡¯d need less than two minutes to thoroughly clear it and ensure no survivors. By the time the guards at the entrance realize, we¡¯d probably already be withdrawing.¡± The brown-bearded mercenary leader explained confidently to Minden, who nodded in agreement. In theory, this was indeed the safest approach. As long as Zhao Renzhou remained inside the villa, a four-story mansion, nine people should be more than enough to handle the situation. It seemed that the plan involved a lot of going up and down stairs and firing weapons. Two minutes should be more than enough to resolve the conflict. Minden pondered for a moment and then agreed, saying, ¡°Alright. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll have my people escort you to Gave Town. Once you¡¯ve conducted your reconnaissance and we¡¯re sure everything is in order, on the day of the operation, I¡¯ll send a helicopter to assist you.¡± The brown-bearded mercenary leader got up and said, ¡°OK. It¡¯s been a pleasure working with you.¡± Five hundred thousand freelance coins for eliminating a drug dealer. It was easy money. The bearded leader shook hands with Minden, and Minden signaled his men to take them out for a meal. Later in the evening, they would arrange for transportation to send these individuals away. Chapter 55 Chapter 55: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Bloody GrinThree days later. Jiawei Town. Outside the villa estate. On a hilltop in the far distance. Two mercenaries. Holding high-powered binoculars. Clad in camouflage suits blending with the earthy colors. Observing and recording information about the villa. Approaching noon. The burly Caucasian man on the left. Lowered his binoculars, picked up a pen, and jotted down some notes in his notebook. Then he turned around, lay down, and stretched lazily: ¡°There¡¯s basically no issue.¡± ¡°The daily routines are all the same.¡± S?a??h the ???el F?re.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. ¡°Occasionally, he goes up to the rooftop to keep watch.¡± ¡°He stays in the room on the second floor.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem to be expecting any ambushes.¡± He rested his hands under his head, Crossed his legs. Basking in the sun. The man beside him furrowed his brow: ¡°Don¡¯t cross your legs.¡± ¡°You might give us away.¡± The burly man on the left sneered: ¡°Do you even know what you¡¯re talking about?¡± ¡°This location is nearly two kilometers in a straight line from the villa.¡± ¡°Do you really think he can see us with the naked eye?¡± ¡°Do you think he¡¯s an eagle?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s withdraw.¡± ¡°There are no significant issues.¡± ¡°Hurry and call the helicopter over.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wrap up this mission.¡± ¡°This barren place, there¡¯s nothing here.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s driving me crazy.¡± As they spoke, The burly Caucasian man stood up abruptly. He pulled the other observer along. And they headed back to their hideout. Inside the villa. Zhao Renzhou watched TV for a while. Then he got up to fetch some hot water. He poured a cup of hot tea and walked over to the window. He blew on the tea and held it to his lips. Seemingly observing the scenery. But in reality, his eyes narrowed slightly. He looked toward where the two Caucasian men were earlier. For ordinary people, A distance of nearly two kilometers might make it hard to see anything clearly. But for Zhao Renzhou, who had received serum injections¡­ He could clearly see some changes in the landscape. Watching the earth mound with two protrusions missing, Zhao Renzhou estimated it was about to begin. When those two protrusions first appeared, he had noticed them but didn¡¯t make a fuss. He continued with his normal daily routine for three consecutive days. However, today those two small black dots disappeared early, indicating they had found a good vantage point. Zhao Renzhou put down his teacup and instructed Chi Yunmeng: ¡°Lock the basement door securely.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t come out.¡± Then he resumed his routine, just as in the previous days. Until midnight. A helicopter took off on the outskirts of Jiawei Town. It ascended to an altitude of one thousand meters before stopping its ascent. Then, it changed direction and headed toward the villa estate. It flew rapidly, getting closer and closer to the villa. As it neared the villa, the sound of the enormous rotor blades grew louder. This also alerted the villa guards, but the night sky was too dark, and the helicopter, from several hundred meters above, appeared as a small black dot. Its position couldn¡¯t be discerned, so they could only remain on alert, guns at the ready. However, as the helicopter drew nearer, even those who were slow to react began to realize that something was amiss. They saw the helicopter diving onto the rooftop of the villa. The guards reported this to Zhao Renzhou via a walkie-talkie but didn¡¯t take further action. After hearing the report on the walkie-talkie, Zhao Renzhou tossed it onto the bed. From the armory space, he retrieved a shotgun. It appeared instantly in his right hand. His left hand raised, gripping the magazine beneath the shotgun barrel. He pulled it back with a click, chambering a round. He walked toward the window, a sinister smile forming on Zhao Renzhou¡¯s lips. If everything went according to plan, there should be some action here. This was called tactics¡­ Outside the window¡­ The recently landed helicopter dropped several ropes. Nine mercenaries descended along the ropes. Two of them slid down to the second-floor balcony, two others to the fourth-floor rooftop, and the remaining five planned to enter from the ground floor, breaking through a window. They intended to surround the bedroom on the second floor. The plan seemed right, but¡­ As two fully armed mercenaries slid to the second floor, the faster of the two caught sight of the scene inside the window the moment he descended. Instantly, his hair stood on end, and an overwhelming sense of terror surged through his mind. ¡°Fuc¡­.¡± Desperation made his hands grip the rappelling rope tightly, attempting to prolong his time before meeting death. However, it was futile. The inertia of his own weight caused him to fall onto the balcony without stopping, without even finishing the profanity he had begun to utter. Zhao Renzhou¡¯s menacing smile appeared right in front of him. The icy barrel of a gun pressed directly against the mercenary¡¯s mouth. Bang¡ª!!! It was as if a powder keg had detonated. A tremendous sound echoed through the vast villa, exceptionally ear-piercing. The noise carried far, far away, its violent impact shattering the mercenary¡¯s skull in an instant. With the body came crashing down on the balcony¡¯s edge. Due to the shattered head, blood mixed with brain matter, bursting like a water balloon, painting the surroundings red. Even Zhao Renzhou¡¯s face, complemented by that sinister smile, looked even more terrifying. The fear of death caused an adrenaline rush, bloodshot eyes filled with terror. The eyeball, still twitching slightly in the air, was instantly crushed underfoot with a creak¡­ The next mercenary, full of terror on his face, aimed his gun at Zhao Renzhou¡­ Chapter 56 Chapter 56: Destruction of Over Half the Mercenary Team At this moment, After the last mercenary had landed, There was an endless stream of curses in his heart. Who could have imagined that, just as he touched the ground. His teammates were already gone. And this demon, Covered in blood and wounds. Had already turned his head. In a state of life and death on the brink, the mercenary who had just landed, felt like the whole world had slowed down a few notches. He quickly grasped his submachine gun, Pointing it at the target, Zhao Renzhou. But, Zhao Renzhou was even faster. In the view of that mercenary, Everything was clearly moving in slow motion. The gun in his own hand, was also slowly pointing towards the other side. Trying to pull the trigger, But Zhao Renzhou seemed to have activated a speed boost. In the slow world,this guy moved at a speed that left an afterimage, Grabbing the barrel of the gun,and bending it outward. ¡°Boom, boom, boom, boom¡ª The submachine gun blazed with fire. Expelling bullets. Firing wildly towards the entrance.¡± ¡°Zhao Renzhou held the gun with his left hand. Forced it aside. The shotgun in his right hand disappeared somehow.¡± ¡°A Desert Eagle appeared in his hand aimed at the hired mercenary. The left hand that tried to reach for a handgun at the waist. Bang! The hired mercenary¡¯s left hand instantly blew up with a large hole.¡± ¡°Fingers shattered and flew away, without waiting for his painful wails. Zhao Renzhou pulled with all his might with his left hand.¡± ¡°The submachine gun, along with the hired mercenary, was swept away by tremendous force. Dragged towards Zhao Renzhou.¡± ¡°The Desert Eagle tightly held in Zhao Renzhou¡¯s right hand. Instantly pressed against the hired mercenary¡¯s abdomen.¡± ¡°12.7mm large caliber bullets. Bang, bang, bang, bang¡ª Seven shots in a row. The magazine emptied.¡± ¡°Bullets pierced through the hired mercenary¡¯s bulletproof vest. Passing through his back. Splattering several blood flowers.¡± ¡°The immense impact force pushed the pitch-black mercenary. Spitting blood, he staggered backward. Until he reached the edge of the second-floor balcony.¡± ¡°The dazed black mercenary. Tried to cover his wound with his left hand. But it was already useless.¡± ¡°He stared fixedly at Zhao Renzhou¡¯s fierce smile. Powerlessly falling backward. Thud, Flipping over the railing of the second floor. Landing outside the villa twitching a couple of times. Completely losing his breath.¡± ¡°In Zhao Renzhou¡¯s hand, the Desert Eagle. Utilizing the military-grade equipment. Directly loaded a full magazine.¡± ¡°In his left hand. Another grenade appeared. Tilted twice. Zhao Renzhou looked toward the bedroom door. Outside the bedroom.¡± ¡°From the moment the gunfire erupted. The stubbled man who had descended to the first floor. Realized something was amiss because that wasn¡¯t their weapon.¡± ¡°Immediately, the submachine gun¡¯s sound echoed. And then quickly faded away.¡± ¡°Overwhelmed by other gunshots. Clearly,The two team members who had descended to the second floor. Were no more. The stubbled man couldn¡¯t help but curse under his breath:¡± ¡°Fuck!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go inside!¡± ¡°Use a grenade!¡± ¡°You two, stay outside!¡± Then, leading the two others, He quickly rushed towards the second-floor bedroom. Blocking the door from the outside. Holding a grenade in his hand. Removing the safety pin. With one hand gesturing to the two team members. At this moment, Click, The wooden door in front of the three of them. Looking at what was stuck in the center of the wooden door. Something resembling a shell. The mercenary captain with the stubble felt his heart racing: ¡°Fuck!¡± s?a??h th? n0v?l(?)ire.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. Before his feet could even move. Bang, A gunshot rang out inside the bedroom. Boom, the grenade lodged in the door instantly detonated. A wave of heat swept through. Right in the line of fire, Lo Si-Hu. Took the full force of it. In the intense explosion, his entire body. Bones shattered instantly. Limbs torn apart by the powerful shock. Less than a second. Life signs extinguished. His charred corpse slammed into the wall. Smack, like smashing a watermelon. The crispy body shattered and blood splattered. As for the mercenaries hiding on either side of the door. One was thrown against the wall by the impact. Instantly losing consciousness. The other was propelled by the explosion. Soaring down to the first floor. Crashing onto the glass coffee table. A loud crash. Reducing the first-floor coffee table to a pile of rubble. Bones throughout his body felt like they¡¯d come apart. Struggling to get back up outside the villa, hearing the explosion from inside the house. And the sweeping heatwave that followed, two mercenaries who had just rushed out of the villa, Turned their heads to look inside. But there was the figure of Zhao Renzhou, Enveloping the two who had turned around. Without any hesitation, Zhao Renzhou held a dagger in his left hand, And plunged it directly into the neck of the mercenary on the left. With a strong pull, nearly half of the neck was almost severed, Scraping against the windpipe. Blood instantly sprayed three meters away. In his right hand, the Desert Eagle, Was aimed at the head of the mercenary on the right. Bang, bang¡ª The mercenary¡¯s body with the shattered head fell. Zhao Renzhou pulled out, The dagger that had been plunged into the neck of the mercenary on the left. The mercenary on the left, clutched his neck tightly with both hands, Fell to his knees. Blood continuously coughed out from his mouth and nose. Zhao Renzhou casually kicked him, Sending him flying six or seven meters away, And because of blood backflowing into his windpipe. The mercenary lay on the ground, Struggling intensely, awaiting death. Zhao Renzhou lifted his foot and walked towards the house. He spotted it immediately. The one struggling, The mercenary who had climbed up from the coffee table. Chapter 57 Chapter 57: Zhao Renzhou¡¯s Bloody Annihilation of the Mercenary TeamZhao Renzhou walked over unhurriedly. The mercenary also noticed Zhao Renzhou. Struggling amidst the shattered glass fragments on the floor, Trying to lift himself up. But the shock from the high-explosive blast Sent him crashing down from the second floor. His whole body nearly falling apart. It wasn¡¯t easy to get up after that. His arms trembled. As he tried to raise his body and look up. Bang, bang¡ª Two bullets pierced his palms. The mercenary, lying amidst the coffee table shards, let out a painful howl. The excruciating pain made him instinctively twist his body, But Zhao Renzhou¡¯s footsteps were getting closer. The mercenary, Struggling to lift his head, looked up. Bang, a bullet passed through his eye, Piercing his brain, Instantly ending his life. Motionless, Zhao Renzhou paid no attention to the body on the coffee table shards. Ignoring the scorching heat that lingered after the explosion, He stepped onto the second floor. Bang, he gave a finishing shot to the mercenary who had crashed into the wall, Rendered unconscious. Including the charred body parts opposite the bedroom on the second floor, Three were dead here. Adding the two on the bedroom balcony, and the two at the villa¡¯s entrance, He had killed a total of seven so far. There could be more, But he wasn¡¯t sure. But the remaining ones were undoubtedly upstairs, As he had cleared the lower levels. Zhao Renzhou used the arsenal space to load his Desert Eagle in his right hand with bullets, And he sheathed the dagger back at his waist with his left hand. Then, a flashbang grenade appeared in his hand. Zhao Renzhou removed the safety gripped it firmly, And proceeded slowly up the stairs. The soles of his shoes touched the floor, Yet they made no sound. Third floor. Two mercenaries hiding in a bedroom, Their foreheads covered in cold sweat. The battle had ended too quickly. Before they even hit the ground, They heard gunshots. Just as they rushed from the roof top to the third floor, There was a violent explosion below. The two of them sought refuge in the bedroom. Not long after escaping the explosion they heard a few gunshots, Followed by complete silence. No need to think. Their other teammates had surely been taken out! The plan wasn¡¯t wrong. The execution wasn¡¯t wrong either. But¡­ One person killed seven? Is this guy even human?! No matter how much they cursed in their hearts, They had to think of an escape plan. Their position was too precarious. Above the second floor below the fourth floor. That person might be outside right now. Retreating through the corridor was definitely not an option. But not retreating through the corridor, They couldn¡¯t just jump out of the window could they? They couldn¡¯t possibly make it to the rooftop! Damn it! They dared not make a sound. The two of them exchanged a few tactical hand signals, Then reached for the grenades and smoke bombs hanging from their waists. One of them gripped the door handle, They locked eyes for a moment, Nodded. In an instant, they opened the door! Two smoke grenades were thrown out first, Followed by a hand grenade. Then they quickly closed the bedroom door. However, something Slipped in through the gap as the door closed. S?a??h th? ?ov?l?ir?.n?t website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality. The two heard a faint sound, Their hearts raced with boundless terror. A grenade?! As this thought flashed through their minds, the intruding object suddenly detonated, Emitting a sharp noise, And intense, blinding light. It wasn¡¯t a grenade?! But, As the bright light passed, Both of them were instantly blinded. Their ears were ringing, Boom! Outside in the hallway, There was another explosion. The walls and the ground shook. Both of them felt a growing sense of unease. Running away was no longer an option. Blinded and disoriented, They had to rely on their previous memory of the room. They rushed toward the balcony. Suddenly, They felt a gust of wind. The battered bedroom door crashed into them directly, Carrying them along shattering the glass as they fell onto the balcony. Zhao Renzhou approached swiftly, His dagger spinning in his hand. He reached the balcony grabbed the head of one of the Black mercenaries raised his hand and brought down the blade, Precisely on the neck creating a ten-centimeter gash. Blood gushed from the severed artery, spurting four to five meters away, Like a small fountain, Splattering blood everywhere. They clutched their throats, writhing and struggling, Awaiting the arrival of the Grim Reaper, Their despair palpable. As for the lone remaining mercenary, He already sensed the impending doom. Desperately, he cried out in the urgent language of the Free State. Zhao Renzhou understood. It was a plea for mercy. But he paid no heed. He seized the mercenary by the head and lifted him up, His dagger moving in a blur. All that could be heard were, The sound of stabbing, repeatedly. The last mercenary, His body riddled with over a dozen wounds, Zhao Renzhou released his grip. The mercenary shivered and collapsed on the ground, Completely incapacitated his body convulsing uncontrollably, A manifestation of his fear of death. Beside him another companion his throat cut, Emitting a hissing cry. At this point, Zhao Renzhou had already killed nine, The mercenaries who had invaded the villa. He paid no attention to these two doomed individuals, Lifting his foot, continuing his ascent upstairs.
