After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS
Chapter 288 The legendary elder (page 12)
As one of the three giant companies, the Iron-Blooded Alliance has been rooted in Crescent City for a long time, and has always pursued a strategy of getting close to mercenaries.
Resources within the company are basically given priority to supporting mercenaries rather than controlling private companies or bribing politicians.
This approach may seem like putting the cart before the horse in other cities, but in this "Mercenary City", it undoubtedly works wonders.
Mercenaries are the central hub of Crescent City, building a bridge between the high-level and the low-level.
Whoever can control the mercenaries can control half of Crescent City.
After decades of dedicated hard work, the Iron-Blooded Alliance's influence among Crescent City mercenaries has far surpassed that of the Joint Venture Company and the Black Domain Group.
And when Nuo Bai was rescued back to the Edge Building, the mercenaries from all walks of life did not act rashly, and they were all doing it for the sake of Iron Blood. They felt that the Edge Mercenary Group had a connection with Iron Blood, and they could not offend easily.
But after the talk between Dres and Su Mo broke down, he had secretly stated that Iron Blood would no longer care about the edge.
The mercenaries from all walks of life had no scruples, and the offensive started.
The Edge Building is located in the Lakeside Business District and is under the jurisdiction of public security. No one directly carried a gun or fired a cannon from the front. Instead, they chose some eccentric methods.
Self-destructing drones continued to rush towards the edge building, and were shot down by the building's anti-aircraft weapons, bursting into flames in the sky.
There are also remote-controlled robots carrying bombs sneaking into the ground. They are small and highly concealable and can enter the room through the pipes.
However, the defense system designed in the future is very powerful, and the ground defenses are also very dense. Such attacks have not succeeded for the time being.
Some time after the attack broke out, the city council became a little restless.
The Hubin Business District is a core commercial area. There are explosions around the Edge Building around the clock, and the clouds are like exploding fireworks. Various pictures and videos are spread online, directly occupying the hot search list.
There are all kinds of people, including those who criticize, those who make a fuss, those who make noises, and those who take advantage of others. Who can bear the shame of being thrown directly into other cities?
City Speaker Amir immediately ordered Schenkov to ask the Public Security Bureau to intervene in the matter and bring Sumer back for questioning.
As for Schenkov, he was quite generous. He knew that if Su Mo was taken back to the Public Security Bureau at this time, even for an hour, there would be even greater trouble in the Edge Building.
So he just kept silent and helped Su Mo withstand the pressure from his superiors.
He would verbally agree to any marginal instructions at the meeting, but after the meeting he deliberately failed to carry them out properly. He either missed stamping or forgot to sign the transfer order documents, which made it impossible for the people from the Public Security Bureau to move, so he stubbornly dragged them away.
On the third day, when Schenkov was processing documents in the office, his assistant hurried in: "Director, the Speaker of Amir City called again to ask questions, asking why you haven't sent someone to intervene in the marginal matter."
Without raising his head, Schenkov said, "Hang up the phone and I won't answer any further calls."
The assistant thought he heard wrongly: "No answer???"
Schenkov: "Didn't he lose contact when things got into trouble before? Then I lost contact too! Why, I can't do what he does?"
The assistant was immediately in a dilemma: "Director, please don't act out of emotion. I heard that the city council is planning to go to court to impeach you for dereliction of duty."
Schenkov slapped the pen on the table, put his palm on his forehead, and closed his eyes tightly.
After a moment, he said: "Find a hospital and book an ICU ward."
The assistant was puzzled: "Why book an ICU ward?"
Schenkov cursed: "I'll lie down and pretend to be dead, okay?!"
Last year he denounced Kitahara Hayabusa angrily, and this year he became Kitahara Hayabusa. The usually dignified director was forced to resort to such rogue methods, and his assistants were almost in tears.
He didn't say anything more and silently followed the instructions.
Schenkov dragged his tired body to the window, looked in the direction of the edge building, and sighed: "Brother, please settle this matter quickly, I can only help you get here."
Over the past few days, the Edge Building has been enveloped in a tense atmosphere.
Various attacks were carried out day and night, and everyone was exhausted physically and mentally.
But starting at noon on the third day, the attacks suddenly stopped.
This strange calm came too suddenly, making people feel that the enemy was brewing a bigger storm, and no one dared to stop and take a breath.
Until that afternoon, a phone call broke the peace.
Su Mo: "Who?"
On the other end of the phone: "Captain Su, at 6 o'clock tonight, I have reserved a private room on the top floor of the White Diamond Hotel. Let's talk about what happened recently."
Su Mo: "Are you kidding me? My headquarters is bombed every day. At this time, you ask me to go to dinner?"
On the other end of the phone: "There will be no more attacks, at least not until we finish talking. No more attacks on Edge Towers."
Su Mo: "Who are you?"
On the other end of the phone: "Friends of Captain Zhou Hannian, you should have heard of my name. Everyone on the street calls me Master Wen."
Su Mo's heart moved.
Master Wen!
This is the founding veteran of the Crescent City mercenary world!
Crescent City was established in Dawn 24. After decades of development, the first large-scale mercenary force appeared in Dawn 83. The entire mercenary industry has a history of 70 years.
And this Master Wen was one of the first batch of great mercenaries active in Crescent City. He had witnessed the ups and downs of the mercenary world and was a living legend in the true sense.
Not to mention middlemen such as Derleth and O'Diana who have risen in recent years, even Zhou Hannian, the current "King of Mercenaries" in Crescent City, has to politely call himself Xiao Zhou in front of Master Wen.
Su Mo: "Master Wen, it was you who stopped those mercenaries?"
Mr. Wen: "It's me. This matter is too embarrassing. People outside are watching our jokes. Everyone needs to sit down and talk."
"You don't have to worry about what will happen to the Edge Building while you are away. My old face is still a bit thin. I said not to be moved, and no one of those mercenaries dared to move."
Given Mr. Wen's status, these words were not false. Su Mo believed them to be true.
This opportunity comes at the right time, everyone on the edge needs to take a breather.
Moreover, if a person like Mr. Wen ends his life in person, there might be some change in the situation, so Su Mo responded: "I understand, I will be there on time."
Mr. Wen hummed and hung up the phone.
Su Mo said to Chu Nanyi behind him: "Xiao Chu, I have to do something tonight. There should be no attacks before I come back. Everyone can have a rest."
"But to be on the safe side, you should stay on the medical floor to prevent any accidents. Thank you for your hard work."
Chu Nanyi nodded: "I'll do the work, just don't worry. Go ahead."
Just as Su Mo was about to leave, Dongdong caught up with him, grabbed his sleeve, and said worriedly: "Boss, it's so chaotic outside, it's a bit dangerous for you to go alone, I'll go with you."
Based on Su Mo's understanding of Mr. Wen, he was a decent man and would not hold a Hongmen Banquet.
But there must be other people at this meal, so it won't be a very pleasant meal, and there may be some talk.
Su Mo thought that he was not good at quarreling, so it would be nice to have a replacement when the time came, so he brought Dongdong along.
