The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 251 - 251 251 Night Hawk Squad Part 3

251: Chapter 251 Night, Hawk Squad (Part 3) 251: Chapter 251 Night, Hawk Squad (Part 3) Hawk, a raptor!

In the animal kingdom, hawks sit atop the food chain among birds!

And, the special forces unit Lin Fei had previously served in, named after the hawk, was known for its formidable strength.

In fact, this was precisely because they had encountered Lin Fei, the freak.

Had it been someone else, they would be facing the entire South Asia Tiger Mercenary Group, and if they had the geographical advantage, Du Zhengting’s standard five-man hawk squad could put up a good fight!

The most elite special forces of the Azure Dragon Army were a title forged through generations of Hawk Hunting Team members with their blood and honor!

This included Lin Fei himself!

The Hawk Hunting Team was the first special forces unit Lin Fei served in, a sanctuary in his heart!

It could be said that it was precisely because he joined the Hawk Hunting Team that Lin Fei, a naive and inexperienced boy, transformed into a true iron-blooded man!

Without that experience in the Hawk Hunting Team, Lin Fei would never have been able to leap from the Dragon Gate to join the more elite Dragon Soul, let alone become the renowned figure of today in the Mercenary World, the soul of the Hell’s Judgement Organization!

His achievements today are largely due to the solid foundation laid during his years with the Hawk Hunting Team.

For Lin Fei, those were days of pain and joy, days so unforgettable they would last a lifetime.

It was also because of that time in the Hawk Hunting Team that deep, indelible marks were left in his heart, allowing Lin Fei to quickly recognize Du Zhengting, an old comrade-in-arms, after their encounter.

However, if possible, Lin Fei would have wished he had never met Du Zhengting.

It wasn’t that Du Zhengting had wronged Lin Fei during their time in the Hawk Hunting Team.

In fact, aside from Xue Zhi, Butcher, and others, Du Zhengting could be considered one of Lin Fei’s closest battle comrades.

The nickname “Little Belly” for Du Zhengting was coined by Lin Fei himself.

The reason was, every time Du Zhengting had a big meal, his little belly would stick out.

Round and rolling, it was quite endearing.

In the army, his rotund belly was often teased by Butcher.

If it hadn’t been for Du Zhengting getting injured on a mission and missing out on selection for Dragon Soul, the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Main God might have one more member as of now.

In fact, when Lin Fei first returned to Zhonghai city, he thought about calling Du Zhengting to catch up over drinks.

But realizing that the Hawk Hunting Team often had intensive daily training and missions, and since he was no longer in the forces, Lin Fei decided not to disturb Du Zhengting.

What Lin Fei hadn’t expected was that Du Zhengting, who in his mind should have been training with the troops or carrying out special missions, turned out to be Fang Wenxi’s ace up his sleeve in the attempt on Lin Fei’s life!

The moment Lin Fei recognized Du Zhengting, his killing intent almost reached its peak in an instant.

If it weren’t for the past interactions, which had given Lin Fei utter trust in Du Zhengting’s character, Lin Fei might have already sent Du Zhengting and his Hawk squad to hell due to the overwhelming urge to kill!

…

“Boss, you’re really too much.

Ever since you joined Dragon Soul, we’ve lost all contact.

After so many years, not even a phone call.

If it weren’t for this time, I—”

Talking and talking, Du Zhengting himself couldn’t go on.

He scratched his head, stealing a somewhat awkward glance at Lin Fei, and cautiously asked, “Boss, isn’t Dragon Soul usually very busy?

Why did you come back to Zhonghai?”

“So, you’re doubting me?”

“Boss, saying that hurts your brother’s feelings.

Who you are, others may not know, but how could I not know?

If anyone dares to doubt you, I’ll be the first to disagree!”

Through Du Zhengting’s eyes, Lin Fei could tell that those words came straight from Du Zhengting’s heart.

Right then, his mood relaxed slightly, and the remaining killing intent for Du Zhengting in his heart quietly dispersed.

In fact, Du Zhengting’s trust in Lin Fei was unconditional.

Not just because they had shared life and death together, but even more so because of the words ‘Dragon Soul’!

Unlike ordinary people who only know a little about special forces, Du Zhengting, who had once participated in the selection for Dragon Soul, knew full well what those two words meant for Mo Country!

“After Little Tiger died, we left Dragon Soul.

We stayed abroad for a few years, and after getting tired of it, we came back.” If it were anyone else, even his CEO wife Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei wouldn’t have been this truthful.

However, Du Zhengting was different.

Although he still didn’t know why Du Zhengting had become Fang Wenxi’s enforcer in disguise, through Du Zhengting’s eyes, Lin Fei could still see that Du Zhengting was still the same trustworthy brother he could count on to have his back!

As for his brothers with whom he had shared life and death, Lin Fei naturally had nothing to hide.

“Oh, is that so?” After hearing Lin Fei’s explanation, Du Zhengting habitually responded, but then, suddenly coming to his senses, his expression drastically changed, and his normally articulate tongue suddenly became stuttering, “Boss, who, who did you say died?!”

“Little Tiger died.”

These four words, for Lin Fei, who was a soul figure of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, weighed like a thousand gold!

During the time right after Little Tiger had sacrificed himself, Lin Fei couldn’t even face the reality.

During that time, for Lin Fei and others like Xue Zhi and Butcher, the name Little Tiger was a taboo!

For a long time, Lin Fei and the others didn’t dare to utter the name Little Tiger or even his code name, Monkey.

Because it would cause them heartache!

That pain was engrained in their bones and seeped into their souls!

It was an extreme pain, so intense that Lin Fei and his comrades could only vent through killing, thereby numbing themselves in an attempt to forget.

“Hahaha, boss, you must be joking with me, right?

You must think I acted recklessly without understanding the situation, so you’re deliberately deceiving me, aren’t you?

You must be lying to me, you must be…,”

At first, he burst into laughter, but as he laughed, tears began streaming down Du Zhengting’s face, and he seemed almost hysterical, repeating the same phrase over and over.

At moments of great joy or great sorrow, people can appear a bit neurotic.

This is because the things they hear or come into contact with touch the most tender part of their hearts, stirring their emotions.

Overwhelmed by deep feelings, they lose control of themselves.

At this moment, that was exactly Du Zhengting’s state…
