Zhang Xiu smiled. “No matter what you’re going through, you can’t let anyone know. There are some things that the world won’t be able to accept.”
Benjamin hesitated and said, “I seem to have complained about the boss before, do you think I’ll be alright?”
“So that’s why you’re scared like this?” Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.
Benjamin nodded.
“Don’t be afraid but be fearful.” Zhang Xiu said, “The Boss is good to a brother. If there is him, then there is us. But you are the one who has a history, so prove yourself more later, we haven’t seen enough of your loyalty yet. As for severing your hand, that was just a form of membership. Although you have the Deviant Corp tattoo on you, the level of trust the Boss has for you is still not high enough. “
Benjamin nodded. “I know, that’s why I followed you out. I’ll prove it. I’m enjoying this kind of Deviant Corp! I will make the other mighty brothers accept me!”
Men were like this, they enjoyed being friends with the powerful and wanted those powerful people to accept them too and recognize their strength. This was more of an inspiration that would significantly increase one’s fighting spirit, Benjamin felt that it was too pleasant to be in a team with such strong brothers, especially since it was also like a big family; they ate together and did things together, which was a very rare atmosphere to have in the Land of Mercenaries.
When Hawking and the others came back again, they saw that the group had been reduced by a lot and there were only ten people left.
He squatted down beside Xu Cheng, who was smoking a cigarette and looking at the scenery at the top of the mountain. “Seeing you being hesitant is rare. Did the few battles in the past half month make you feel that many things in this world are not as simple?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Yeah.”
Hawking glanced at him. “I told you at first that, back then, many Israeli barons and warlords like you couldn’t even play this through. You really may not be able to play, so are you regretting giving up now like this?”
“No.” Xu Cheng inhaled a mouthful of smoke. “Although I won’t be going out to fight, in time, you will find that in this Land of Mercenaries, I am in charge! Also, would you be interested in joining the Deviant Corp?”
Hawking was stunned. “I’m not interested.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Don’t get me wrong, before joining the Deviant Corp, we need to investigate you in four aspects. First, your wealth; second, your influence; third, your intelligence; and lastly, it will be us that make the call on who we let in! As long as you can make a quantum nuclear weapon, I can give you the status of being an elder in the Britain region, and whoever wants to join in the future will be up to you!”
Hawking laughed. “It’s really child’s play, and to be honest with you, I’m already an honorary member of other organizations like yours, many of which have begged me to join. To be frank, it’s no use. You think it’s the Capitalist Society or the consortium? Only the members of those organizations are worth anything.”
Xu Cheng said, “In the future, it will only be more difficult to join the Deviant Corp!”
Hawking: “What’s in it for me?”
Xu Cheng: “Just two things! We will keep you safe, make sure that any opponent who bullies you doesn’t end up well, and also make sure you get to live for longer! You can enjoy the highest level of medical coverage that the Deviant Corp can offer for any illness!”
Hawking narrowed his eyes.
This was a powerful deal!
It was a heavenly temptation that no man could refuse!
