Chapter 262 - 262: Mercenary Myth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The person who was driven back quickly reported, “There’s an additional team on the ship. They look like mercenaries, but their discipline is strict, resembling a military force affiliated with a nation. They’ve transferred everyone on the cruise ship according to a list, but they won’t allow me to follow. Things are getting a bit tricky.”
The mercenaries hadn’t anticipated this turn of events. However, now they couldn’t just jump into the sea to escape; that would be no different from seeking death.
As these mercenaries were from different places, each with their leader, they immediately started quarreling.
All of them were here for the bounty, and now that Gu Chen was likely gone, they were naturally anxious.
The mercenary who had just fought with Song Fan became the target of everyone’s anger, and others started questioning them.
The captain of Team A said, “You were so close to Gu Chen just now. Why didn’t you stop him?”
“You talk as if it’s easy. Gu Chen has a woman by his side, with combat power that can match a Transformer. It’s a miracle we made it back alive,” shouted the captain of Team B.
Captain of Team C, displeased, retorted, “That’s because you guys lack skills. If we had gone, Gu Chen would have killed us already.”
“Don’t talk nonsense here. Even if you went, you probably wouldn’t be able to come back,” argued the captain of Team B.
The situation was about to erupt into violence. The Captain of Team A wanted to mediate, but the Captain of Team C had a quick temper. He threw a punch directly at Captain of Team B, and a fight broke out on the small deck.
The small cabin turned into chaos, with no one knowing who was fighting whom. Nobody dared to step in to break it up, fearing they might get hurt accidentally.
The previously silent Captain of Team D finally spoke up, “Quiet down, everyone. There are so many people outside now. Are we arguing to die sooner?”
This sentence finally brought them back to their senses. Everyone stopped fighting.
Now was not the time to argue. They not only had to kill Gu Chen but also deal with those people. Unity was necessary to achieve this.
Captain of Team D said, “Those people are well-trained, and it’s obvious they want to trap us on the ship and surround us. Directly facing them won’t work.
It’s better to disperse and take them down one by one.”
Everyone agreed with this plan. It also made it easier for them to calculate their achievements. If any team managed to kill Gu Chen, the credit would go to that team.
After the discussion, they left the area in batches. However, after everyone had left, the Captain of Team B returned. His earlier ambition had completely disappeared. He said, “We should find an opportunity to leave.”
His subordinates were puzzled. “Why? The bounty is enough for all of us to live a lifetime.’
The Captain of Team B sighed. “I heard someone on the helicopter call that woman Asina. Do you think we still have a chance of winning?”
Upon hearing this name, everyone fell silent. They indeed had no chance of victory.
Asina was a myth among mercenaries; there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish. Confronting her meant certain defeat.
However, some people didn’t believe they would lose. One argued, “We are here for wealth and risk. No mission is easy. We’re not asked to kill Asina. Just killing Gu Chen will get us the money.”
“Yeah, and that person might not even be Asina. What if we’re being deceived?” another suggested.
These two statements stirred up the emotions of everyone again. They were extremely eager for this fortune. Giving up for a possibility was something they couldn’t bear. Moreover, the members of other teams were still on the ship. If they got the bounty, it would be even more regrettable than not getting it themselves.
The subordinates expressed their unwillingness to leave, and the captain had no choice but to comply.
At the moment, drifting on the sea, the captain didn’t have absolute authority. If he contradicted everyone and sang a different tune, he might be the first one thrown into the sea. It was better to agree and wait for an opportunity to act.
Meanwhile, Song Fan encountered a team of people. They concentrated all their firepower on Gu Chen, and Song Fan’s team evaded wherever possible.
Song Fan had no intention of engaging in a prolonged battle. She nonchalantly tossed explosives without concern for cost. With ample firepower, tactical intricacies were unnecessary; a straightforward barrage was the most effective..
