CHAPTER 1741 THEY'RE HERE!

Nobody liked the feeling of being lied to, especially since the Li family was actually a bunch of people that Halen could have crushed with just one finger.

Of course Halen was in a terrible mood.

He was going to fully investigate Li Zhengshang and his son so that he could snatch away every single thing they had right before their very eyes.

That included the mercenary soldiers they controlled right now!

Meanwhile.

Li Genhong's emotions were rather complex right now.

When he came to this chaotic region, he wasn't just terrified, but also very lost.

If Li Zhengshang hadn't been holding the fort all this while, Li Genhong would never have held up till today.

But now, Li Zhengshang said that he was going to pass the future of the Li family onto Li Genhong.

He had also told him the direction and path he was to take in the future, but Li Genhong still found it difficult to accept.

"Do I have to gain Jiang Ning's favor?” Li Genhong grit his teeth.

When he thought about how powerful and terrifying Jiang Ning was, he started to feel fearful.

He wasn't confident of gaining Jiang Ning's trust. After all, he had offended Jiang Ning before.

"Young Master Li, it's hard to develop the wasteland over there. Do you want to mark it anyway?" asked someone from behind him.

Li Genhong turned and took a glance. That hill at the back was now the one thing that he and his father were counting on now!

No matter what happened, they had to hang on to control over this area, but they had to make sure they weren't too loud or obvious about it, otherwise other people would notice it.

"Mark it first, we'll talk about whether we want it at a later stage. Nobody wants it now, anyway," said Li Genhong.

This entire area was considered wasteland and wasn't worth anything since there was so much land available here.

But of course, that was partly because nobody had discovered its value.

The major mines in the east had already caused a huge fight between the mercenary armies, and they had gotten into a fierce battle several times now. © 2024.

Many people were willing to die for money, so once something worth fighting over appeared, it would definitely attract a whole bunch of lunatics.

Li Genhong instructed his men to erect a signboard and mark this land as theirs, as well as tell others that this was going to be turned into a training camp. This was something that many other mercenary armies did, so it wouldn't look suspicious.

He stood there as his forehead was covered with perspiration. He wasn't sure if he was sweating profusely from the heat or from nervousness.

After making arrangements, Li Genhong left a few men to watch over the area and got ready to take his car back to his camp.

But before he could get into his car, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded him and his men.

"Who are you?" shouted Li Genhong fiercely.

He frowned and already knew who they were from the uniforms they were wearing. He was just surprised that the Purple Moon Mercenary Army had caught up with him so quickly.

"Young Master Li, don't bother struggling. These few men of yours are no match for us."

The leader of the assailants waved his hand and all the men behind him unlocked the safety catch on their guns.

KA KA KA!

Li Genhong's face instantly paled.

"Isn't Mr Halen trying to talk to us about a partnership? Have you checked with him before doing this?" he growled, and the mercenary soldiers next to him also raised their firearms and pointed them at the other side.

But the difference in numbers clearly showed that if they got into a fight, Li Genhong's side was definitely going to die.

"Hoho, I'm here on Mr Halen's instructions! How long more do you and your father want to pretend? Stop trying to fool us!” The leader snorted coldly and said, "Young Master Li, you'd better follow us back.

Mind you, bullets don't have eyes!"

Li Genhong's heart sank. Had they already been exposed?

How did these guys appear so quickly? His men wanted to retaliate and they glanced at Li Genhong to show that they were ready, but Li Genhong shook his head.

"Don't do anything. If we get into fight, all of you are going to die." He took a deep breath. "I'll leave with them."
