"Skull, what did you do?"
Looking at Zhou Yang’s anxious expression, Qin Tian frowned slightly.
Having just called Xiao Zhuang, Cao Guojun, and Jiang Hu, as well as contacted Mu Yunxi, everything seemed fine.
And everything was normal at the Wolong Mountain Base. Where else could Skull strike against War Dragon?
Could it be the Cloud Island Base?
Impossible, the Cloud Island Base only had a few guards, and there wasn’t much valuable there. It was unlikely Skull would target it. He must want to make a big scene for Dahe and Korea to see!
Qin Tian couldn’t figure it out and looked at Zhou Yang.
With a helpless look, Zhou Yang spread his hands and said, "I had just called Jiang Hu and Wild Boar, returned to my room to take a shower, and had even taken off my pants... Jiang Hu called..."
"What happened?" Qin Tian knew immediately that Jiang Hu and Wild Boar must have run into trouble with Skull’s people!
"Fierce Tiger! It’s the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group!"
Zhou Yang’s face turned ashen as he recounted what happened.
It turned out that Jiang Hu and Wild Boar were escorting Zhang Hanbin and a few special forces members on a mission in Southeast Asia. When they were returning from collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains with a traditional medicine company, they encountered Zhao Zhijie, the housekeeper of the Thunder Tiger Team.
赵志杰 was prepared. He brought over twenty of the Fierce Tiger mercenaries, set up a checkpoint on the mountain road, and demanded money from Jiang Hu and Wild Boar.
"赵志杰 said it was the territory of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group. Since we passed through their territory without greeting them, we had to pay. When we hesitated, he had people surround Jiang Hu and our clients as well!"
Zhou Yang relayed Jiang Hu’s words and continued, "Jiang Hu was ready to fight, but Wild Boar saw the situation wasn’t right. Those Fierce Tiger guys were armed, so he immediately asked Zhao Zhijie how much the toll fee was."
"That bastard Zhao Zhijie demanded three million!"
"Wild Boar was furious and asked Zhao Zhijie if he wasn’t afraid of being punished by the Asian Mercenary Association for such actions against War Dragon, a fellow member."
"You know what that bastard Zhao Zhijie replied? He said we could report it if we wanted. We were the ones who trespassed first. And he added that if War Dragon was unhappy about being bullied by Fierce Tiger, we could talk to their boss anytime!"
"Finally, after saying that, he even laughed and said Jiang Hu and the others wouldn’t have a chance to call for help."
"Then the fight broke out."
"Jiang Hu, using his speed, managed to break out with only minor injuries. But our clients, along with Wild Boar, Zhang Hanbin, Cui Longcai, and Zhang Zhiyang, were all trapped... their fate unknown!"
After finishing, Zhou Yang angrily slapped his thigh.
At this point, Qin Tian’s expression also changed.
Dammit, when did the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group get the guts to attack War Dragon?!
Obviously, Skull must be supporting them!
This was Skull’s way of dealing with War Dragon and showing strength to the Dahe and Korea Mercenary Teams!
"Contact the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group immediately. First, we need to confirm the lives of our clients and Wild Boar’s team. Old Zhou, stabilize the situation, gather intel, keep your tone low. No matter what they say, agree first. The most important thing is to understand the situation."
Qin Tian quickly calmed down and reacted to the situation.
Then he personally called Xiao Zhuang and Cao Guojun, instructing Cao Guojun to continue the mission while Xiao Zhuang rushed back to the Zhonghai City Base.
Being in the same Asian Mercenary Association, Zhou Yang had the contact number for the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group representative.
After negotiating for a long time, they got the result that -
The Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group denied any attack on War Dragon team members!
Zhou Yang was speechless with anger, and seeing this, Qin Tian grabbed the phone and said to Fierce Tiger’s third-in-command, Li Yong, "Brother, I’m Qin Tian, the captain of the War Dragon team. Our people were ambushed by yours in the northern mountain forest of Thailand. There must be some truth to this, right? One of our team members has already come back and told me everything."
Li Yong sneered, "Captain Qin, what are you talking about? How could our Thunder Tiger Team do such a thing? No, your team member must be mistaken."
Qin Tian gritted his teeth in anger but had to bear it without any news from Wild Boar’s team.
Endure for now. Once we confirm our people’s situation, I’ll come for revenge! I won’t let you get away with this!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Tian forced a smile and admitted, "Brother, I’m not asking whether this happened. I’m asking if you Fierce Tiger know the whereabouts of our War Dragon brothers. If so, we can pay a ransom. Moreover, I will personally apologize to your boss. This time, it was our fault for not notifying you when passing through your territory and refusing to pay the toll. It’s indeed our fault..."
"Hehe, Captain Qin, that’s more like it. Such a tone is what we Fierce Tiger deserve. Hahaha... Unlike that Zhou Yang of yours, yelling and shouting. Do you think I have the time to deal with your little War Dragon?"
Hearing Qin Tian’s subservient tone, Li Yong laughed triumphantly.
After finishing, he seemed to move the phone away and said to someone on the other side, "Qin Tian surrendered, said he would pay to ransom the people. What do we do?"
Although Qin Tian didn’t hear the other person’s reply, he became anxious hearing this.
War Dragon’s people were undoubtedly with Fierce Tiger.
But were they all there, or had someone died while the rest were captured?
Jiang Hu said there was a gunfight, but War Dragon’s team didn’t bring any guns on this trip, while Fierce Tiger had firearms... If it really turned into a shootout, War Dragon’s people might have casualties!
With a tense heart, Qin Tian awaited Li Yong’s response.
After about two minutes, the voice on the other end changed.
"Qin Tian, right? I’m Zhao Zhijie."
Zhao Zhijie’s tone was cold, "Fierce Tiger and War Dragon are both part of the Asian Mercenary Association. We’re brothers, aren’t we? Hehe, now that you have trouble, we Fierce Tiger will certainly help. But..."
Zhao Zhijie let out a sinister laugh, "There will be a fee for our efforts, right? You tell me, how much will you pay for each person we find? Think carefully, you only get one chance to name your price. Hehe..."
Qin Tian frowned and said, "One person, one million. They must be alive!"
Zhao Zhijie laughed maniacally upon hearing this:
"Hahaha... Qin Tian, you’re quite sensible. One person, two million! Of course, they are alive. Killing your War Dragon people is as easy as squashing an ant! Hahaha..."
