Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 403 Claude's Decision
"What does it have to do with us?" Claude narrowed his eyes and asked Captain William. "After that guy defeats the Fiery Mercenaries, he will most likely become the final champion of the East Suburbs Division. By that time, he will be famous, and I'm afraid that many forces in the Fifth District will come looking for him and provide him with support. It will not be so easy for us to kill him again."
"So, father, you will secretly support the Fiery Mercenaries to defeat the Night Rose Mercenaries where that kid is, so that he will remain unknown and it will be easier for you to take action in the future, right?" Captain William picked up the wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and said with a smile on his face.
"That's right." Claude nodded slightly. "It's just a pity that the old guy from the Fiery Mercenary Group is so useless. Not only did he lose to that kid, but he also lost two games in a row."
"Father, what are you going to do next? Since the opponent has already become famous, should we still follow the original plan and wait until the district-level auditions are over before taking action?" Captain William asked.
"No." Claude shook his head with a gloomy look. "The original plan has to be changed. We can't wait until the auditions are over. After today's game, Night Rose's reputation will have spread. I'm afraid it won't be long before someone will look for them to cooperate. And we must get rid of that guy before that happens!"
Hearing this, the wine glass in Captain William's hand trembled inadvertently and his brows frowned slightly.
"Father, why are you so anxious to act? Have you forgotten what happened to the dark horse team that appeared in District 5?" Captain William thought for a moment and said, "Didn't they also make it to the district finals? But before the finals even started, they were all killed by unknown people. You know, although the district championship is small, it also involves the interests of many people... In District 5, we are definitely not the only ones who want to kill that kid. Why don't we wait for others to take action first? If those people can't be dealt with, it won't be too late for us to take action later."
"Oh? Are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?" Claude asked back with some surprise.
"That's right, father, if we can save some effort, why do we have to do it ourselves?" Captain William nodded with a smile.
"Oh..." Claude suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at Captain William, his eyes were extremely sharp. He was a little confused. What happened to his son... Wasn't he always eager to kill the boy himself before? What happened now? Why did he suddenly change his attitude? Could it be... did he really suddenly figure it out?
Being stared at by Claude's experienced eyes, Captain William's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that this old guy saw something... But on the surface, he was still trying his best to stay calm.
"It's rare that you finally got the point today." After staring for a moment, Claude suddenly retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "However, the situation of the dark horse team that suddenly rose in the past was a bit special. The reason why they were killed was not because they hindered the interests of others from the beginning, but because they were unwilling to cooperate with those forces after they became famous, which brought disaster upon themselves."
"But the Night Rose Mercenary Group is different. They have no reason to refuse to cooperate with those big forces. And once they get the support of those forces, it will be difficult for even us to take action. Therefore, we must strike first before the other party finds a backer!" Claude explained.
Hearing this, Captain William couldn't help but frown again. It seemed that the conflict between this old guy and his master could not be prevented, and it would break out in the near future.
"In that case, we have no choice but to do it ourselves..." Captain William murmured.
"Well, this time, I'm going to do it myself and make sure to kill that guy in one go!" Claude nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Father... why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself? After all, all matters in the regiment need you to handle it personally. I think... why not let me deal with that kid." Captain William was slightly startled and said after quickly thinking.
Captain William knew very well that his father, a lieutenant colonel, was very powerful. If he were to deal with the master himself, the master would be in danger. Therefore, he had to find a way to buy some time for the master, at least until those big forces came to the master for cooperation...
"No!" Claude shook his head firmly. "That kid's strength is no longer what it used to be. According to the old guy from the Fiery Mercenary Group, for some reason, although that kid's health is only 100 points, his physical fitness has been strengthened by at least 2 times, and his ability level is very likely to have reached the early general level... This kind of strength is no longer something you can handle. I must personally take action to kill him."
Hearing this, Captain William fell silent. Since Claude had already said this, if he continued to insist, the old man's suspicious character might make him doubt him.
Now, all he could do was to try his best to cooperate with this old guy, find out his detailed plan to deal with the master, and pass this plan on to the master...
…
At the same time, in the East Suburbs competition venue, after defeating the Fiery Team, Li Jiu and his teammates all returned to the lounge.
"Haha, that's great. I didn't expect that we could defeat the Fire Squad!" As soon as he entered the room, Bacchus immediately threw the cannon in his hand onto the sofa beside him, clenched his fists excitedly, and cheered excitedly.
"Huh, what didn't you expect? Don't forget, Little Leo led us to defeat the young leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries! What's the big deal about defeating a small Fiery Squad? If you ask me, the district championship this time will definitely belong to our fifth team!" Bella rolled her eyes at Bakus and snorted.
"Hehe, yes, yes, the final championship must be ours!" Bacchus scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Looking at the excited expressions of the team members, Li Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
After killing the Blazing Team, I finally put down my mind, and I don't need to be too nervous for the next period of time. After all, the strength of the remaining teams in the eastern suburbs is far inferior to that of the Blazing Team. Even if a few awakeners emerge among them, it is difficult for them to pose any threat to the fifth team.
"Beep!" At this moment, with the sound of a clear electronic prompt, the team leader Donna walked in with a smile with two guard mercenaries.
"Captain!" The team members saluted at the same time.
