Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 425: Core Combat Force Returns
"Knight?" Li Jiu pondered for a moment. Knight should be just a code name. It seems that the other party does not want him to know his true identity.
"By the way, don't tell anyone about our meeting today. Believe me, this will benefit both you and me." The middle-aged man suddenly said, "As for my true identity, we will officially meet after you win the city promotion tournament. By then, you will know."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Jiu couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
City champion? The other party is really confident in himself.
You know, even now I can only basically ensure that I can win the district-level auditions. As for the city-level auditions, I am not sure at all.
After all, the overall strength of the mercenary group in the Fifth District is definitely ranked last among all the districts in Shoushan City.
In the city-level promotion matches, they would obviously encounter a large number of powerful opponents whose strength far exceeds that of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries.
More importantly, Li Jiu still didn't know what kind of competition mode the city-level auditions would adopt. He didn't know whether it would be held in a virtual battlefield like the district-level auditions, or in reality...
But no matter what, the words of the middle-aged man behind the car made Li Jiu very curious. He wanted to know what the other party's true identity was? Why did he say that he would meet him officially after he won the city championship? And what was the purpose of the meeting at that time...
However, although Li Jiu was curious, he did not speak again after the other party said these few brief words.
Until the other party sent him to the East Suburbs competition venue, he was unable to learn more useful information from him.
…
In the lounge of the Night Rose Mercenary Group at the East Suburbs Competition Stadium.
The members of the fifth team and their leader Donna were waiting anxiously.
Although, Li Jiu had already informed them of his coming out.
But now that the competition is about to begin, Donna and the others are still worried that Li Jiu will not be able to catch up with the competition.
And if Li Jiu is absent, then Elva will have to replace him.
As for Kaqi's position, after she left, she was replaced by Scar Brother who had just joined the fifth team.
Although the sniper Elva could barely make up the number by replacing Li Jiu's assaulter, without the core combat force Li Jiu, everyone had no confidence in defeating today's opponent, even though today's opponent was just a small team of below-average strength in the eastern suburbs of the fifth district.
After all, even the weakest team in the fifth zone was an ace team from each mercenary group. The fifth team was only able to defeat the first ace team of Night Rose with the strength of a newly-formed team because of Li Jiu, and was qualified to participate in the competition. Without Li Jiu, the fifth team could only be regarded as an ordinary team in Night Rose.
"Why hasn't Leo come yet? The admission will start in five minutes..." Bella paced back and forth in the lounge, holding AWM, with an anxious look on her face.
"Don't worry, everyone. According to the time Brother Li Jiu said, I believe he should be able to arrive in time." Scar Brother was once a captain after all, so he was still calm and comforted everyone.
"Beep!" At this moment, a prompt sound came from the quantum door of the lounge, and Li Jiu walked in with a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth and a faint smile on his face.
"Damn, Captain, you're finally back." Seeing Li Jiu coming back, Baku immediately stood up from the sofa with an excited look on his face.
"What's wrong? I shouldn't be late, right?" Seeing that the tense expressions on everyone's faces had not yet dissipated, Li Jiu asked with a smile.
"You're not late, but what did you do that day and why were you taken to the police station? We asked Xiaodao, but he wouldn't tell us." Bella asked Li Jiu angrily.
“Well… I can’t say that I was arrested. I just went there to cooperate with them in investigating some things.” Li Jiu shook his head and smiled.
"Okay, now that everyone has returned safely, let's start getting ready. The competition will begin soon." Seeing Li Jiu return safely, team leader Donna felt relieved. She glanced around at everyone and changed the subject with a smile.
Donna already knew that Li Jiu had killed Claude with a knife, but she didn't want anyone else to know it now.
"Yes, that's right. Although we defeated the Fiery Team, there are still eleven teams to defeat next, so everyone must take it seriously and never be careless." Seeing that the captain had come to his rescue, Li Jiu nodded.
"Captain." Xiaodao walked over and handed Li Jiu's weapon to him.
Afterwards, the members of the fifth team gathered themselves together, checked their weapons and equipment, and prepared to face the next game seriously.
Only Elva showed a hint of uneasiness in her eyes after seeing Li Jiu return safely...
This scene did not escape Li Jiu's observation, but he pretended to know nothing and just packed up his weapons and equipment.
Although he already knew that Elva was the undercover who informed Claude, considering Bacchus, he did not want to expose her yet.
Moreover, now that Claude is finished, Elva should have no reason to betray herself again, right? Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to expose her or not. After all, although she betrayed herself before, did ?
Of course, if she doesn't know how to restrain herself and betrays herself again, then he will be sorry to Bacchus, and he can't let such a woman stay with his brother!
…
After Li Jiu returned to the team, the Fifth Squad had no problem dealing with a medium-strength team in the eastern suburbs.
Moreover, there was not even a single awakened person in this team, and they were unable to cause any trouble to Li Jiu and his team, so they were easily crushed by the Fifth Team.
At this point, the Fifth Team successfully obtained the 19th game point, leading the 18 points of the Fiery Team, becoming the veritable emerging dominant team in the East Suburb Division.
After the game, Li Jiu once again used his privileges as captain and left the venue alone without notifying anyone.
Of course, with Claude's death, the threat of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries has been lifted. Li Jiu is currently in the fifth district and there is no danger to worry about. In fact, he doesn't need to notify anyone.
After leaving the competition venue , Li Jiu drove Night Rose's special hovercraft straight to the western suburbs of the fifth district.
Today's destination is the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group.
