Volume 3: Rise of the God of War Chapter 529 The Storm is Coming
The person sitting on the sofa was the second son of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Lingfeng.
"Uncle Tang, please be polite. In a few months, we will be a family. There's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Shangguan Lingfeng held a cigar between his fingers, glanced calmly at the slightly plump Tang Rong, and said with a stiff smile on his stern face.
"Well, okay." Tang Rong nodded, and then sat down opposite Shangguan Lingfeng, but his eyes avoided the other party intentionally or unintentionally, as if he did not dare to look him in the eye.
It's no wonder. Although Shangguan Lingfeng in front of him has a very ordinary face and a body that is not very strong and even a little thin, he has a powerful murderous aura that is as tangible as a substance. It seems that as long as you look at him, you will feel inexplicably frightened, as if you are falling into an ice cave!
Tang Rong knew that it was because Shangguan Lingfeng was engaged in a very bloody profession, and the number of lives he had taken was probably too numerous to count...
In addition, the Shangguan family is the backer that the Tang family is clinging to, and in the future they can rely on the Shangguan family's influence in the political circle to help the Tang family expand its power. As the second son of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Lingfeng is also a person who can influence the future destiny of the Tang family. Therefore, when facing him, Tang Rong will appear cautious, for fear of accidentally offending the other party.
"Uncle Tang, you should already know why I'm here, right?" Shangguan Lingfeng asked indifferently while continuing to smoke his cigar and not even looking at Tang Rong.
"Yes, they have already told me. " Tang Rong hurriedly replied, frowning, "I am really ashamed to say this, this matter was originally something that our Tang family should handle ourselves, but now we have to trouble Master Lingfeng to do it personally, this..."
"Uncle Tang, please don't say such things anymore." Shangguan Lingfeng suddenly interrupted, "My eldest brother will marry Tang Na soon. By then, we will be a family. There is no need to distinguish between us. The affairs of the Tang family are our affairs."
"Yes, yes, Master Lingfeng is right." Tang Rong nodded immediately and said, "But, that man is just a captain mercenary, how can Master Lingfeng do it himself? I think... how about this, give us some more time, our Tang family will definitely handle this matter."
"Captain mercenary?" Shangguan Lingfeng raised his lips. "Uncle Tang's news is a bit untimely. As far as I know, he is now a major."
"Major rank?!" Tang Rong was shocked.
This was really surprising. You know, it had only been a few months since he learned about Li Jiu.
In such a short period of time, Li Jiujing was able to be promoted from a private to the rank of major. This speed of rank promotion was definitely something Tang Rong had never heard of before.
If Li Jiu were given more time... Tang Rong couldn't even imagine how high Li Jiu's military rank would rise!
"Although he is an awakened one and has some advantages over ordinary mercenaries, the speed at which his rank is promoted is still too incredible..." Tang Rong thought to himself.
"Mr. Lingfeng, even though he has the rank of major, he is still just a mercenary after all, and he has no power of his own. Our Tang family can still easily wipe him out!" Tang Rong thought for a while and promised solemnly.
"Easily wiped out?" Shangguan Lingfeng showed a sneer without disguising his smile. " It's not that I underestimate your Tang family. If I'm not mistaken, you should have known about the other party a long time ago, right?"
"This... is indeed the case." Tang Rong said after a moment of hesitation.
"That's it." Shangguan Lingfeng said nonchalantly, "It's been so long. If your Tang family could really kill him easily, you should have succeeded when he was still a private soldier, right?"
Hearing Shangguan Lingfeng's words, Tang Rong's face turned red.
Shangguan Lingfeng said it very directly, and it was also true. For such a long time, they indeed had not been able to get rid of Li Jiu.
Of course, the main reason here is not that they do not have the strength, but that they underestimated Li Jiu at the beginning and thought that the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group alone could handle the problem.
But they didn't expect that the Blood Wolf Mercenaries would completely disappoint them this time.
In addition, they were concerned about their own interests and were unwilling to take action themselves, which is why it has been delayed until now and they have not been able to kill Li Jiu.
"But Uncle Tang, it doesn't matter now. From now on, let me handle this matter. And you, don't go looking for anyone to deal with that person." Shangguan Lingfeng continued.
"Okay, I understand." Tang Rong nodded helplessly.
"Well, now, give me all the information you have about that person." Shangguan Lingfeng put out his cigar and stood up.
"Okay, I'll ask them to pack it up and send it to you." Tang Rong also stood up and said respectfully.
"No need. I'm in a hurry. After you've sorted it out, send it directly to my intelligent light brain." Shangguan Lingfeng shook his head and ignored Tang Rong, walking straight to the door of the secret room.
Looking at Shangguan Lingfeng's departing back, Tang Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Uncle Tang, you haven't sent anyone to assassinate that man recently, right? If so, call your people back immediately." Shangguan Lingfeng suddenly stopped and said when he reached the door.
The Black Dragon Society's requirement was to bring Li Jiu back alive, so before he took action, he had to ensure Li Jiu's safety.
"Although we are preparing to take action, we have not sent anyone out." Tang Rong replied.
"That's good. Goodbye." Shangguan Lingfeng said, and left the secret room directly.
Tang Rong then quickly left and immediately asked his men to start compiling all the information about Li Jiu so that he could send it to Shangguan Lingfeng.
…
Sunrise and sunset, two days passed in the blink of an eye.
This morning, the sky was clear and cloudless, but there was a cold wind howling.
Near the eastern suburbs civilian area of the fifth district of Shoushan City, in the wilderness, a white hovercraft, braving the cold wind of the wilderness, drove towards the only villa in the distance.
"squeak!"
After a while, the heavy steel door of the villa slowly opened, and the white hovercraft quickly drove in.
"Brother Nine!"
"Brother Nine!"
…
Inside the villa, Doug, Quinn, Yunbao, and Lin Zhen, the four of them stood beside the parked car, and said with excited smiles on their faces.
"Yeah." The car door opened, and Li Jiu walked out with a smile. He glanced at everyone and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
"Brother Jiu, as soon as we received your message yesterday, we ordered all kinds of training equipment overnight, and they were just delivered this morning." Doug replied with a smile: "Now, we just need to give the mercenary group a name, and we can officially start operations!"
