This chapter is updated by NovelFree.mlTranslator: Thyaeria

After going through a brief crisis, Su Tao sat in his room without any expression as he started sorting his thoughts.

He had two objectives in coming to Slovakia, helping Lin Yifu and finding his two friends.

His heart sank when he did not receive any news from Tie Ci.

Then again, when Su Tao saw Yuan Lan captured in the mercenary base, he felt helpless.

It won’t be easy for him to save Yuan Lan!

Without Lin Yifu helping him, he will need to make a detailed plan to rescue Yuan Lan.

As for going head-on, it was clearly impossible.

Stein had nearly a thousand mercenaries in this base, and everyone just had to spit at him to drown him in saliva.

It was true that Su Tao’s martial arts improved swiftly, but it was still impossible for him to fight with firearms.

As he knocked his fingers on the table, he began to ponder a plan.

A hundred meters away from the base, no one would visit this patch of the forest because of the heavy miasma.

Liu Jianwei squatted down on the tip of a tall tree with a rabbit in his hand that he had just hunted and chew on the raw flesh after skinning the rabbit. At this moment, he looked horrifying like a demon that had just come out from hell.

He had searched for days before he managed to find this place, and Yuan Lan was held captured inside.

“Please, wait for me!”

Although his time with Yuan Lan was filled with hardships, he felt rich. However, he did not realize that he had already bore feelings for Yuan Lan at this moment.

Liu Jianwei was only blunt when it comes to relationships, not heartless.

On the contrary, the moment he recognizes someone, he will show unrestrained support and trust. This was also the reason why Su Tao trusted Liu Jianwei.

Hence, he could give his life as long as he could rescue Yuan Lan.

On the second morning, Stein and Jacob negotiated for two hours before Stein finally got the outcome that he wanted.

Jacob will handover all of Hamza’s firearms business contacts to Stein, while Stein releases Hamza.

In Stein’s mindset, Hamza was just someone on the verge of dying, so he naturally had no reason to refuse this offer.

The reason why he had been house arresting his father was that he wanted to obtain this precious wealth.

Hamza’s firearms business goes as high as billions annually, with about 5-15% percentage. Just a rough calculation would know that this was a significant sum of wealth.

However, Hamza wasn’t greedy as he had limited his every business. Putting it in a nutshell, if his customer wanted twenty tanks, he would only provide ten. If his customer wanted ten aircraft, he would only provide three.

But if Stein was doing it, he wouldn’t be so stupid and do his best to fulfill his customer’s request.

Stein’s objective was simple and direct. He wanted to use this mercenary base as his foundation to build the world’s largest firearm business empire, becoming a true King of War.

While Jacob was making preparation with his men, Stein smiled as he stretched his hand out to Lin Yifu, “Mr. Lin, I guess that we still have opportunities to cooperate, right?”

“Maybe?” Lin Yifu smiled as he understood Stein well. Since Stein was so confident, it just meant that he already had a decent middleman.

Looking at Lin Yifu’s leaving silhouette, Stein wore a sneer filled with disdain.

Old geezer, this is the world for the new generation, and it’s time for you to come down the stage!

The two mercenaries who were watching over Yuan Lan were two brothers from Yugoslavia. The two of them were initially in Yugoslavia’s military, but when Yugoslavia collapsed, they became mercenaries and went under Stein.

“I wonder if the woman inside is still alive. Arnold came by in the morning, and he doesn’t seem to be giving up.” The elder brother smiled.

“She’s truly beautiful that reminds me of the South Korean mother and daughter pair from San Juan.” The younger brother grinned.

The two brothers had participated in a coup d’etat operation caused by local military organizations in San Juan. Generally speaking, there wouldn’t be any concerns for such coup d’etat as everyone can freely rob and rape.

In times of war, commoners were no different from livestock, becoming the delicacies for those mercenaries.

The mother and daughter pair were the wife and daughter of a high-end hotel’s owner. The hotel was filled with endless wine and delicacies along with a soft mattress and a huge bathtub. The rooms were also wired with televisions and air-conditioning along with jewelry kept in a safe.

During the war, the mother and daughter were stained by the two brothers, becoming a wonderful experience for them.

So whenever they encounter Asians, they would recall that wonderful memory.

“Why don’t you go in and have a taste?” The younger brother licked his lips with lust blinking in his eyes.

Embezzlement was common under Stein’s lead, and even if Stein found out about it, he would only reprimand them.

“Alright, I’ll go first!” The elder brother chuckled as he went into the room, leaving his younger brother scouting.

But when the elder brother entered the room, the younger brother suddenly widened his eyes before he slowly fell onto the ground.

Along with the younger brother falling onto the ground, Su Tao appeared from the corner.

Although Lin Yifu had left with Hamza, Su Tao still decided to stay behind. He had requested for a set of mercenary uniform from Jacob before he disguised himself to look for Yuan Lan.

Hence, he immediately made his move when he saw that one of the guards went on, taking one of them out.

Then again, Su Tao did not take the younger brother’s life as he only knocked that fellow out.

Su Tao did not stay long outside as he swiftly entered. When he saw that the elder brother was about to land his trotters on Yuan Lan’s sensitive spot, rage flared in his body as he ran over. As he lashed out a kick, the elder brother was struck on his right rib as he flew out from the momentum.

Yuan Lan had her eyes closed at this moment. She did not lose her consciousness, but she was trying to conserve her energy.

When she saw Su Tao, it was within her expectation and at the same time, it wasn’t.

As Su Tao removed the rag in her mouth, Yuan Lan’s coarse voice sounded out, “Leave this place quickly!”

Su Tao knew what Yuan Lan meant as this must be a trap for Liu Jianwei.

All of a sudden, a siren rang out in the mercenary base along with a commotion. Within the observation room, Ying Xiong wore a solemn expression as it wasn’t Liu Jianwei who came to save Yuan Lan but Su Tao.

When he saw this scene, he was puzzled. Why was there another person now?

Even Stein was bewildered when he saw this scene as he had a deep impression of Su Tao. wasn’t that fellow Lin Yifu’s men?

When Su Tao fought with Arnold last night, Stein did not feel that Su Tao knows Yuan Lan, but it was probably because Arnold had taken it too far and Su Tao couldn’t stand watching.

But when Su Tao showed up now, Stein immediately figured out that they must know each other!

At this instance, Stein had a bad premonition as he never expected that there would be an enemy within his base. Although there was only one enemy, it still made him cautious.

“I’ll go get rid of him!” Arnold spoke out with a ferocious expression.

He was still holding grudges against Su Tao for his humiliation yesterday.

“Bring more men with you!” Stein warned. In terms of close combat, Arnold wasn’t Su Tao’s match.

On the other side, Su Tao maintained his composure even after he heard Yuan Lan’s warning. Removing her bindings, he replied, “I have already contacted Tie Ci, and he will come with reinforcements.”

“There’s only a few of them, and how are they going to fight with nearly a thousand in this mercenary base?” Yuan Lan smiled bitterly.

Yuan Lan felt emotionally conflicted in her heart. No one wants to die, but she did not want to implicate Su Tao.

Su Tao was the successor of the Fire Deity, and if anything happened to him, wouldn’t that be a huge loss to the Fire Beacon?

“It’s already too late to talk about leaving now.” Su Tao swiftly examined Yuan Lan’s wounds. Seeing that the wound on her leg was most serious, he tended it simply before putting Yuan Lan on his back.

“What are you trying to do?” Yuan Lan knew that there must be many people outside, and they will be immediately showered by bullets if they went out.

“Charge out way out!” Su Tao replied with confidence flickering in his eyes.

He had decided to become a solitary hero and rescue Yuan Lan from this place.

After all, Yuan Lan had helped him numerous times, so it was time for him to repay her.

Gunshots had already sounded out as the bullets covered the steel door. Through the bullet holes, beams of light shot into the room as Arnold was the first to charge in with a large caliber machine gun. He might be inferior to Su Tao when it comes to close combat, but he had a gun and reinforcements behind him, so why would he need to be afraid of an invader?

Sweeping his glance out, Arnold did not notice any commotion in the room. When he carefully observed the room, he only saw a corpse in the corner. It was that mercenary from Yugoslavia with bullet holes covering his body caused by him.

Where were they?

Arnold locked his brows together before he suddenly felt danger. A silhouette had descended from the ground and pounced on Arnold.

So it turns out that Su Tao had actually climbed up the roof with someone on his back.

Su Tao had practiced in the Pulse Art since he was young, so his body was both flexible and tough, not to mention that he had undergone the martial artist grandmaster, Yan Wujin’s teachings. His martial arts had long gone into an unfathomable realm.

In reality, Chinese martial arts were meant to unleashing the body’s potential. So with Su Tao’s foundation, his improvements came swiftly with a master guiding him.

The moment when Su Tao dropped down, a gunshot followed as it was fired by Yuan Lan, who was on Su Tao’s back.

As for the gun, it came from that Yugoslavia mercenary.

Looking at Arnold’s head drilled by that bullet, Yuan Lan’s eyes flickered with a cold flash as it was her revenge for how Arnold had offended her.

Despite having an injury on her leg and imprisoned for days, she was a special agent, and she was already used to fighting back in desperate situations.

Although there were only two of them, they still displayed formidable destructive power.
