Chapter 423 - 423 423 If Fight Victory is also Defeat

423: Chapter 423 If Fight, Victory is also Defeat 423: Chapter 423 If Fight, Victory is also Defeat Over the Tai Man Ocean, not far from where the flight carrying Lin Fei and Xue Mei from Manzhou to Mo Country had crashed into the sea.

Aboard “Xue Mei,” a luxurious cruise ship belonging to her.

As the head of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, Manshan had explained why he had refused the Haimo Group chairman’s request, turning down a hefty sum to eliminate the Ausar Mercenary Corps.

Lin Fei felt a sense of relief, but couldn’t help but have other impressions.

“Do the locally based mercenary organizations in Manzhou harbor a great deal of hostility towards you?”

Others might find it difficult to understand why Manshan, the person in charge of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, had refused the vast payment from the chairman of Haimo Group, a major client.

As a key figure in the Hell’s Judgement Organization, it was clear to Lin Fei why Manshan had made his decision.

Although Manshan and members like Vulture from Hell’s Judgement Organization had taken root in Manzhou for some time, compared to the local mercenary organizations there, Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was an outsider!

Out of caution, considering the inherent strength of Hell’s Judgement Organization, they might not dare to expel or wipe out Manshan and other Manzhou Base members like Vulture.

But in their hearts, they were undoubtedly dissatisfied and even resentful.

After all, the arrival of Manshan and other members of Hell’s Judgement Organization, and the creation of their Manzhou Base, had effectively carved out a piece of the cake that originally belonged to them.

“They’re certainly hostile toward us, but they have some self-awareness.

Overall, we have a tolerable coexistence.

My unwillingness to accept the employment from the chairman of Haimo Group was also to avoid disrupting this precarious situation.

However, with the annihilation of the Ausar Mercenary Corps, I fear they will unite and seize the opportunity to cause trouble.”

As the chief in charge of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, Manshan was acutely aware of the situation they faced and the potentially negative impacts that the fall of the Ausar Mercenary Corps might bring to the base.

The Ausar Mercenary Corps, although not very reputable in the Manzhou region, was after all one of the local mercenary organizations.

If the major mercenary organizations in Manzhou joined forces to pursue and kill the Ausar Mercenary Corps, that could be seen as an internal matter amongst the local mercenary organizations.

But now, with the downfall of the Ausar Mercenary Corps at the hands of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, the significance was obviously different.

Although they were rooted in Manzhou, to the major local mercenary organizations, Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was an outsider, not one of their own.

In response, the local major mercenary groups, already discontented and embittered by the way Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base had carved out what belonged to them, were most likely to unite against it!

The destruction of the Ausar Mercenary Corps by Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base provided them with a reason to jointly challenge the base.

Such a justified opportunity was not something that the local mercenary organizations would fail to seize.

“How sure are you that you can eliminate them?”

Lin Fei seemed to be questioning Manshan, but in fact, a killing intent had already stirred within him.

Initially, Lin Fei’s thirst for blood had subsided, soothed by the demise of the Ausar Mercenary Group and the tender comfort of Xue Mei, that cold and alluring creature.

Now, the bloody hue returned to his eyes.

After recuperating in Zhonghai for more than half a year, Lin Fei’s desire to kill, born from years of battling in the mercenary fields, had significantly eased.

In short, Lin Fei was no longer bloodthirsty.

But this did not mean that Lin Fei’s murderous intent would remain dormant forever.

This time, with the Ausar Mercenary Corps hijacking a plane, Lin Fei was forced to jump into the sea and single-handedly slaughtered nearly thirty members of the Ausar Mercenary Corps.

To some extent, this was a sign of Lin Fei’s resurgent killing intent!

And now, word had it that the local mercenary organizations in Manzhou might take advantage of the Ausar Mercenary Corps’ annihilation to join forces against Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base.

Lin Fei’s murderous intent was inevitably creeping back to life!

Publicly, Lin Fei was the soul of Hell’s Judgement, and he himself could be considered part of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base.

The affairs of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base were his affairs.

The local mercenary organizations in Manzhou, aiming to join forces against Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, were essentially targeting him!

Privately, members of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base like Manshan and Vulture went to great lengths to annihilate the Ausar Mercenary Corps, mainly to rescue Lin Fei and Xue Mei.

Thus, if the local mercenary organizations in Manzhou really dared to use the annihilation of the Ausar Mercenary Corps as a pretext to join forces against Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base.

When Lin Fei’s killing intent arose, the entire Hell’s Judgement Organization would follow—and launch a massive slaughter!

“If they strike first, I only have a fifty percent chance.

If we strike first, I have a seventy percent chance of wiping them out!

However, if war indeed breaks out, even if we defeat them, the situation would likely turn unfavorable for us.

We may even have to pull out of Manzhou because of it.”

Manzhou could be said to be the continent with the least territorial disputes and tangled interests among the major continents.

Because of this, the strength of the mercenary organizations in the Manzhou region was not noteworthy.

Many mercenary organizations did not even have one in the top ten global mercenary groups.

This was also the main reason Manshan, the chief in charge of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, dared to confidently rally against and predict victory over the entire region’s mercenary organizations.

Hell’s Judgement’s dominance in the International Mercenary World was not merely due to bluster.

Hell’s Judgement’s prestigious reputation today was carved out by the hands of its many members!

Although Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was one of the lesser strength-ranked branches of the organization, it had the full support of the entire Hell’s Judgement Organization.

Even if the various mercenary organizations in Manzhou struck first, the ones who would certainly not lose would be Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base!

This was the confidence that Manshan, Vulture, and other members of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base had when they daringly reduced the Ausar Mercenary Corps to dust!

War, easy to say!

Winning, not difficult!

But, as Manshan, the number one person in charge of Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base, had indicated—if they truly annihilated the entire mercenary organization of the Manzhou region.

It was likely that, by then, Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base would become the target of all arrows.

Even possibly facing expulsion by the governments of Manzhou countries.

After all, compared to the whole of Manzhou, Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was still labeled a foreign entity.

It was with great effort and care that Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was established in Manzhou.

If because of a war, Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base was expelled from Manzhou.

Even if Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base won, the united front of Manzhou region’s various mercenary organizations would still be considered a loss for the entirety of Hell’s Judgement…
