The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 252 - 252 252 A Slip-up Means Leaving Forever

252: Chapter 252: A Slip-up Means Leaving Forever 252: Chapter 252: A Slip-up Means Leaving Forever “Boss, tell me, how did Tiger die?!”

Although Du Zhengting was still slumped on the ground, blood still present at the corner of his mouth, his aura surged to its peak in an instant.

Compared to when he had fought with Lin Fei before, he was even stronger.

There was no doubt that at this moment, Du Zhengting’s strength had surged, surpassing even when he had been unharmed!

Seeing Du Zhengting like this, Lin Fei was almost certain that there was absolutely no entanglement of interests between Du Zhengting and Fang Wenxi.

If Du Zhengting had deteriorated due to money, power, or women, he definitely would not be behaving this way.

As to why Du Zhengting had ended up being a lackey for Fang Wenxi, that pretty boy, there must have been a misunderstanding.

“Three years ago, during a mission, we were ambushed.

Tiger sacrificed himself to cover us.” This seemingly simple statement had pained Lin Fei for three long years!

Every time he thought of the moment Tiger sacrificed himself, Lin Fei’s heart felt like it was convulsing.

If it hadn’t been for encountering Du Zhengting, Lin Fei would never have mentioned it!

It’s not that Lin Fei, the great official, feared heartache, but the feeling of powerlessness when a brother died and nothing could be done made him wander, made him confused, almost drove him insane!

“Who was it?!”

These short four words seemed to have roared out from the depths of Du Zhengting’s heart, carrying intense anger but even more uncontainable killing intent!

At this moment, Du Zhengting looked like a prehistoric beast ready to devour someone, his eyes red, veins bulging, his entire expression ferocious and terrifying!

“They’re all dead.”

Lin Fei also sat down on the ground and patted Du Zhengting’s shoulder to comfort him.

They were all brothers; Lin Fei could completely understand Du Zhengting’s feelings.

Initially, when he had wanted to avenge Tiger, the frenzied sense to rip someone apart was even more terrifying than Du Zhengting at this moment!

Hearing Lin Fei’s response, Du Zhengting, who had been overwhelmed with a desire to kill, deflated like a punctured ball and slumped feebly to the ground.

Lin Fei didn’t say much more, as Du Zhengting didn’t need to hear anything at the moment.

What he needed was a period for grief to settle.

Men do not easily shed tears, only because they have not reached a poignant point.

Everyone has their breaking point; bleeding and crying are due to courage, but when that breaking point is touched, courage is unstoppable.

Because courage is directed at enemies, while the breaking point is touched by one’s own people.

After years of separation, what was supposed to be a joyful reunion with drinks and laughter, turned out to be a separation between heaven and earth.

Trying to salvage something was ultimately in vain; one could only express longing through tears.

…

“Boss, these years abroad must have been tough for you guys?” Finally overcoming his initial period of grief and burying the pain in his heart, Du Zhengting asked with a slightly hoarse voice.

“Tough or not, we eventually made it through.

But you, how did you end up like this?”

The hardship was certain.

When they first began working as mercenaries, Lin Fei and others were in constant mortal peril.

That they could survive at all was beyond a miracle.

The rise of the Hell’s Judgement Organization was entirely due to Lin Fei and the others completely forgetting what suffering, life, and death were.

With one fewer person among them, they turned entirely into killing machines, using slaughter to end their sorrow!

During those three years abroad, Mr.

Lin spent his time completely immersed in slaughter and venting.

When he first left Mo Country, even Lin Fei himself did not expect that he would have a day when he could return alive to Zhonghai.

The hardships he endured during that time were truly indescribable in words.

“Putting it into words would be somewhat embarrassing for the boss.” Hearing Lin Fei’s reluctance to elaborate, Du Zhengting did not inquire further and mocked himself with a smile, “Last time we were executing a mission, we messed up.

Too ashamed to stay in the forces, I took my brothers out.”

Lin Fei was slightly stunned, then came to understand why Du Zhengting and his four companions were here.

Du Zhengting spoke lightly, and if an ordinary person unfamiliar with the rules of the Special Forces heard it, they probably wouldn’t feel too much.

However, Lin Fei was different; he had once been a member of the Hawk Hunting Team and even served in Mo Country’s most elite Special Forces—Dragon Soul.

Therefore, Lin Fei clearly knew what failing during a mission meant.

For a Special Forces member, failing during a mission meant that he would leave his Special Forces forever!

After leaving the Special Forces, depending on the severity of the situation, one could be sent back to his original unit or be ordered to retire early!

“When I left the forces with these brothers, I originally planned to wander abroad.

But then a guy named Jiang Yunpeng found me, talked a bunch of nonsense about recruiting me.

I thought about it, I had no connections abroad, working for our forces at least I could contribute something to our country.”

At this point, Du Zhengting paused slightly, looked suspiciously up and down at Lin Fei, “That guy Jiang told me that someone had swindled fifty million from our country and asked me to assist in the arrest.

Boss, you wouldn’t happen to have any beef with that guy Jiang, would you?”

Before meeting Lin Fei, Du Zhengting might not have doubted Jiang Yunpeng, especially since the guy held the youngest Lieutenant title in the Azure Dragon Army.

However, now that he had met Lin Fei, if Du Zhengting still didn’t realize that he had been used by Jiang Yunpeng, he would be a real fool.

“He wanted to compete with me for a woman and couldn’t succeed, so he played dirty.”

Once Lin Fei figured out who had sent Du Zhengting, he naturally understood the whole situation after a bit of thought.

“Damn it, daring to covet my woman, I’ll cripple him!”

Hearing Lin Fei’s explanation, Du Zhengting, already upset by the news of Little Tiger’s death, immediately leapt up, clearly ready to give Jiang Yunpeng a piece of his mind!

Having been exploited was tolerable; after all, it had indirectly led to his meeting with Mr.

Lin.

Regardless of the process, the outcome was ultimately favorable.

However, Jiang Yunpeng daring to compete with Lin Fei for a woman was something Du Zhengting couldn’t keep calm about.

That youngest Lieutenant of the Azure Dragon Army, he, Du Zhengting, was only slightly older than Jiang Yunpeng when he himself was promoted to Lieutenant.

Bang!

Seeing Du Zhengting ready to confront Jiang Yunpeng without hesitation, Lin Fei kicked him away with a direct blow.

“When will you change this rash and impulsive habit of yours?

I can handle my own issues.

What about you, what are your plans now?”

Knowing who was targeting him was enough for Mr.

Lin.

Whether it was Jiang Yunpeng or Fang Wenxi, Mr.

Lin clearly wouldn’t truly worry about them.

What really gave Mr.

Lin a headache was still Du Zhengting.

Having already made one mistake, he still couldn’t change this rash habit.

If he was left to go abroad on his own, it probably wouldn’t take long before he would end up with a “bulged stomach,” joining Little Tiger…
