The King of Urban Mercenaries

The Iron Country Scorpion, an elite force among the Iron Country Mercenary Group, is a name known worldwide. However, it comprises only fifty members.

But these fifty members are elite figures from around the globe. Lin Fei once received an invitation from the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group, which he declined.

Declining doesn't mean they are weak. Lin Fei does not underestimate them because he has confronted the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group more than once in the past.

The Scorpion Mercenary Group is very powerful, but compared to Lin Fei's mercenary group, whenever Lin Fei's team appears, the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group will definitely not show up. This is the result Lin Fei achieved after encountering them.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei couldn't help but reminisce about those passionate and exhilarating times. However, he didn't want to recall too much, as along with passion, there were also sad memories.

"Why did you mention the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group?" Lin Fei asked.

Wang Kai looked grave and said, "Boss, I'll tell the truth. We've encountered the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group."

"What? That's impossible. It seems nothing major has happened in Zhonghai, unless..." Lin Fei couldn't help but wonder if the Scorpion came because of him.

If that's really the case, then it's extremely dangerous, not only for him but also for those around him, especially now that he's alone.

Of course, if all members of Hell's Judgement were here, even if seven or eight more Scorpion Mercenary Groups came, Lin Fei wouldn't be afraid. However, he had to worry about others now.

"Boss, we got information that the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group robbed a bank and is preparing to escape, and they've taken hostages," Wang Kai said.

After hearing Wang Kai's report, Lin Fei felt somewhat relieved, but he asked in confusion, "Are you sure the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group went to rob a bank?"

Are you kidding? What's a mercenary group doing? Robbing a bank? That's not a mercenary group, that's a gang of robbers. Moreover, how could the Iron Country Scorpion Mercenary Group go and rob a bank?

Could it be that the Scorpion Mercenary Group has become so incapable over the years?

"Do you know who's leading them?" Lin Fei asked.

The soul of a mercenary group lies in its leader. The strength of the leader usually represents the core strength of a mercenary group.

Wang Kai thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be someone named Maurice Catra."

"Maurice Catra?"

When Lin Fei heard the name, he laughed.

Lin Fei knew this person; he had once been a candidate for the Scorpion Mercenary Group, but unfortunately, due to some personal reasons, he was eliminated from the Scorpion Mercenary Group.

One must know that the members of an elite mercenary group determine the quality of the group, and quality decides the group's achievements.

"How many of them are there?"

"Eight people, but all of them are very formidable and experienced. Several of our SWAT officers have already been taken down, so the higher-ups ordered us not to act recklessly and to buy time." Wang Kai explained.

"Since the higher-ups are telling you to buy time, they should be sending people soon, right?" Lin Fei asked. If that's the case, he wouldn't need to take action, and besides, he didn't want to.

Hearing Lin Fei say this, Wang Kai became anxious and said, "Boss, the situation is urgent. It takes a long time for the higher-ups to dispatch people, and we can't wait that long."

Lin Fei frowned and said, "Is it because of the water route in Zhonghai?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Kai admired Lin Fei, amazed that he had immediately pinpointed the key point.

Zhonghai is called Zhonghai because it connects to the sea. After robbing the bank, the Scorpion Mercenary Group headed directly for the water route. If they are not stopped, they will surely escape.

If eight foreign mercenaries were to rob a bank and escape, it would be akin to slapping a nation in the face. Although civilians wouldn't hear about it, it would certainly create a stir among the higher-ups and in the mercenary world.

By then, mercenary teams would come to Mo Country one after another to "withdraw". The entire region would likely be in turmoil, so it is vital that such precedents are neither allowed to happen nor should they happen.

"Take me there."

Lin Fei made a prompt decision. Despite losing faith in this country because of certain things, he had, over time, learned that governing a country isn't easy. The vastness of a nation is beyond imagination.

Whether it's ordinary citizens or external development, neither is easy. It's like how the news broadcasted on television serves its purpose, although it has some aspects of deception.

Upon hearing Lin Fei's decision, Wang Kai was immediately delighted and said, "Boss, follow me. I came specifically to ask for your help."

Lin Fei followed Wang Kai and got into the car. Only his car broke away from the convoy; the other police cars returned, escorting city management and the little beggar. The police station would handle everything.

Soon, they arrived in the outskirts.

Lin Fei glanced out the window at the scenery. It was a wilderness surrounded by old blocks of buildings scheduled for demolition. Lin Fei couldn't help asking, "Who's the commander?"

"Reporting to the boss, it's..." Wang Kai hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's Colonel Wu Yufeng, who just arrived in Zhonghai!"

"It's him? That explains it. It's a military's usual method."

By this time, Lin Fei had already discerned Wu Yufeng's strategy: evacuate the crowd first, then block the roads, and once those Scorpion mercenaries were driven out of the city, figure a way to annihilate them.

This is a very simple military strategy, but it doesn't work for seasoned mercenaries, at least not for Lin Fei. He would never let Wu Yufeng have a chance to push him out of the city.

Even though the escape route was outside the city, Lin Fei wouldn't let himself be exposed to the military, otherwise no amount of people would be enough to withstand the military's firepower.

"Boss, something's wrong. Those mercenaries have already fled into an abandoned building area." Wang Kai reported the latest news to Lin Fei.

"Finally caught on, huh? But unfortunately, it's too late."

Lin Fei knew that perhaps the opponent saw through Wu Yufeng's tactics. However, they still couldn't escape Wu Yufeng's plan. Since Wu Yufeng wanted to drive them out of Zhonghai, Wu Yufeng would also anticipate and prepare for emergencies.

It could be said that the members of the Scorpion Mercenary Group were already in Wu Yufeng's grasp. Unfortunately, Wu Yufeng overlooked one point: whether the abandoned buildings still had people in them. If there were, the government would certainly aim to rescue the hostages, and the outcome could be unpredictable.
