“Haha, this is easy to discuss, let’s chat aside.” Chen Dalong laughed heartily, put his arm around Qin Yaowen’s shoulder, and walked to the side.
Once they reached the clearing, Chen Dalong listened to Lord Parrot’s instructions through his earpiece while speaking frankly.
“You’ve seen the strength of our Mad Dragon Security Company, and we are definitely going to develop vigorously. My goal is to replace Star Shield Security Company’s position and become the undisputed strongest security company.”
“However, you also know how it is, blocking their money will surely trip us up. That’s the reason I want to cooperate with you, you were previously in the top three security companies, so you must still have connections, right?”
“I’m not asking for much, just help me smooth over the troubles from the officials.”
“As for the profits from Red Star Tech, we won’t let you down. When my Mad Dragon Security Company reaches the top, I will restore you to the top three positions.”
Qin Yaowen knew that Chen Dalong was just painting a big pie, but he was still tempted.
As long as half, no, even one-third of that big pie Chen painted could be realized, he could escape his current predicament.
Although the status of Star Shining Security Company seemed strong now, with over 150 people and 30 firearms, it appeared to be one of the best.
But only he knew, just to pull the company back up, he had sold all his assets and even accumulated a mountain of debt.
One could say, attending this extermination operation was a major gamble.
His prior assessment of the risks in the Donglin Mountain Range had been totally wrong, and he had already lost that bet.
But now, having boarded Chen Dalong’s ship, he at least could secure a minimum guarantee and maybe even a chance to turn things around.
“I cannot thank you enough, from now on, whatever you say, I will follow,” Qin Yaowen said as he bowed deeply to Chen Dalong.
“Haha, no need to be so polite!” Chen Dalong said while helping him up, “For now, there’s nothing in particular you need to do. Just follow the military team later and help clear out the mutated insects as needed, and I’ll call on you when the time comes.”
Soon after their conversation ended, Chen Dalong returned.
Meanwhile, still standing where they were, Wu Kun, Liu Guang, and Song Yuanlin came forward with smiles on their faces to greet him.
“Boss Chen, you are quite impressive. We have a business proposition for you and wonder if you have a moment to discuss it?” Wu Kun spoke on behalf of the others.
As long as they struck a deal and met the higher-ups at Red Star Tech, they could kick Chen Dalong to the curb.
But what happened next took them completely by surprise.
Chen Dalong glanced at the three men, his gaze finally resting on Liu Guang from Cheetah Security Company, “Boss Liu, if I recall correctly, before we set out, you said our company truly deserves to be called Mad Dragon, and that your company can’t match us, right?”
“Well now, my answer is: you’re right, you can’t match us. Get lost.”
With that, he left straight away, heading towards his own fleet of vehicles, leaving behind the three with darkened expressions.
“Hmph, so full of himself. Thinks he’s something special just because he’s got some power,” Liu Guang said, feeling his pride stung, with a cold snort.
“Right now, he indeed is something special,” Wu Kun remarked.
Just as Liu Guang was about to lose his temper, he heard Wu Kun continue, “But I’ve heard that this Mad Dragon Security Company used to run with gangsters!”
“As upstanding citizens, we have the duty to report to the authorities, how can we allow such a harmful element to continue in this industry!”
Liu Guang and Song Yuanlin both perked up at this suggestion, their eyes lighting up; this move was like pulling the rug out from under someone!
Chen Dalong was unaware of the trio’s plotting, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care, as having Qin Yaowen on his side was just an extra precaution; more importantly, he relied on his “superhuman” status.
However, upon his return to the fleet, he was somewhat surprised to find Professor Liu Zhi waiting for him.
“Professor Liu, what brings you here?” Chen Dalong asked politely.
He had a very good impression of the man.
Just now, when assessing the military merit value for the mutated beings, Chen had noticed that Professor Liu slightly favored him.
It wasn’t just the last Second Stage mutated Spider, even with the other mutated beings that came before, Professor Liu and his group of researchers would intentionally, or unintentionally, quote a slightly higher price.
Though each increase wasn’t much, just an extra 0.5 or 1 point of military merit, these small amounts added up significantly, resulting in at least an extra twenty to thirty points.
“Haha, I do have a little matter for you.” Liu Zhi carefully took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, unfolded it, and inside it was coated with spider silk.
“I heard from your security company’s employees that at the site where that Second Stage Mutated Spider was killed, there is a lot of this kind of spider silk. Can you help me collect it all and bring it back?”
“Of course, it’s not for free. I am willing to offer 300,000 for the task. What do you say?” Liu Zhi asked with a face full of anticipation.
“Sure, no problem,” Chen Dalong agreed without hesitation.
In fact, the price was not high for what was being asked. 300,000 might not be enough to motivate other security companies to make the trip.
After all, setting aside those mutated beings, just the mutated insects alone are enough to cause a headache.
If carelessness results in one or two people being seriously injured, with the medical costs deducted, it’s questionable if there would be any profit at all.
However, for Chen Dalong, this was but a task easily handled.
More importantly, he hoped that the other party would continue to favor him when it came to tallying military exploits in the future.
Once the terms were agreed upon, Chen Dalong gave everyone a 15-minute rest before setting out again with his team.
It is worth mentioning that during this process, the four hundred-member squads that went out for extermination missions had also gradually returned.
But the spoils they brought back were surprisingly less than Mad Dragon Security Company had acquired, instantly giving the other companies’ bosses a deeper recognition of Mad Dragon Security Company’s capabilities.
In fact, not only were other people affected, the most shocked were the employees of Mad Dragon Security Company themselves.
They truly didn’t expect their own company to be so awesome.
So when the 15-minute rest ended, there was no need for Chen Dalong to say much. Everyone lined up energetically, with a tremendous change in mindset.
Seeing this scene, Chen Dalong also felt a bit emotional and sighed.
“Move out!” he shouted loudly, leading the way at the front.
They first went to the place where the Mutated Spider had been killed and collected the spider silk, packing it into a special white plastic bag.
Then they officially started a new round of extermination.
Just like before, Chen Dalong, as if he had opened a third eye, directly headed to places where mutated beings were hiding.
As long as they found mutated beings, with people and guns on their side, dealing with them was a matter of simply catching them.
Moreover, with previous experience, the vigilance of the employees in the security company had undoubtedly increased, and the number of injuries had significantly decreased in the following actions.
Half an hour later.
Everyone was either shouldering a mutated being or carrying a bag of mutated insects.
Another return loaded with spoils.
“Your 5 o’clock direction, advance 200 meters and you’ll see a grassland. There are five Mutated Gazelles there, the leader is a Second Stage one.”
“To prevent others from seeing an issue, I can’t always injure them severely.”
“You need to make the first move. It will try to run away later. You break away from the others and chase it alone, and I’ll help you handle it,” the voice of the Mutated Parrot came from the Bluetooth earpiece.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.
Chen Dalong coughed lightly to show he understood, then after making a pretense of surveying the area seriously, he headed straight in the direction the Mutated Parrot had indicated.
As for whether others would notice any issue, it doesn’t matter. The three words ‘superhuman powers’ can explain everything.
However, this time he approached with extra caution, also instructing everyone to lower their voices as much as possible.
When everyone crossed a hillside, they saw the grassland below and the five Mutated Gazelles that were grazing.
Many widened their eyes and held their breath when they saw this scene.
Because the largest gazelle, standing 3 meters tall and 5 meters long, likely weighed two to three tons.
Without a doubt, this was another creature that could make it onto the danger list.
