Chapter 21: Chapter 20 Major Decision!

”I, Wild Boar, swear that if I actively oppose Dragon Soul, may I be struck by heavenly punishment and may my whole family perish!”

Seeing that Qin Tian and Lin Yu believed his words, Wild Boar hurriedly cursed and swore.

Qin Tian took a deep breath. It seemed that Wild Boar’s words were not false.

What benefit could Firefly achieve by sabotaging Dragon Soul’s mission? They didn’t have the ability to steal the goods and might instead lose men and offend the powerful Dragon Soul. Any sensible person wouldn’t make such a foolish move.

On the contrary, if it were Skull behind this, that would make sense.

It was known that the Skull Mercenary Group was almost equal in strength to the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group, and in the industry, Dragon Soul even had a better reputation. They were the most direct competitors and had even engaged in minor skirmishes multiple times. With Dragon Soul’s mission sabotaged, their reputation and strength damaged, Skull would naturally be the biggest beneficiary.

Observing the hesitant expressions of Lin Yu and Qin Tian, Wild Boar said, ”I know the rules of the underworld. Since I have done something wrong, whether willingly or under threat, it still counts as a mistake. I, Wild Boar, am willing to accept punishment!”

With that, Wild Boar suddenly pulled out a dagger and cut off his left little finger in one swift motion!

”Hiss!” Wild Boar grimaced in pain, covering his finger, but he was tough enough not to cry out.

”Both bosses, I beg you, for the sake of my elderly parents, please spare me.”

Enduring the pain, Wild Boar knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Yu and Qin Tian.

After all, being the boss of Firefly, he still had some backbone and responsibility.

Qin Tian nodded and said, ”I have no objections, it’s up to the Azure Dragon boss since he was injured because of this incident.”

Lin Yu gave a bitter smile and took a deep breath, ”Forget it, now that Dragon Soul has disbanded, what is this little injury? Wild Boar, seeing that you are still a dutiful son, I’ll spare you this time.”

”Thank you, both bosses,” Wild Boar gratefully stood up.

Qin Tian said, ”Wild Boar, you should know the consequences if you’ve spoken any lies tonight.”

”How dare I lie to both the bosses!”

Just as he stood up, Wild Boar suddenly knelt down again before Qin Tian, earnestly saying, ”Dragon King, Wild Boar has long admired the Dragon Soul Mercenary Team. If you don’t mind, from now on, I am willing to serve as your underling and await your orders. If you ever find out I lied tonight, you can kill me any time. I hope the Dragon King will take me under his wing!”

As he spoke, Wild Boar was already kowtowing to Qin Tian.

Thud thud thud, in just a few moments, Wild Boar’s forehead was bleeding.

Indeed, a few years ago when the Dragon Soul Mercenary Team rose to power, the Dragon King Qin Tian’s reputation soared. Countless martial artists and special forces wanted to join Dragon Soul to become Qin Tian’s underlings.

But that was all in the past, now the Dragon Soul Mercenary Team was no more.

”Why are you kowtowing? Kowtowing doesn’t mean I’ll accept you,” Qin Tian dismissed.

”No matter, today, Dragon King, you spared my life. From now on, my life is yours, and if there’s ever anything you need, just command me!”

Wild Boar stood up, and handed Qin Tian and Lin Yu a business card.

Qin Tian smirked, ”We’ll talk about whether I take you as my underling later. You should hurry to the hospital and get your finger treated, there’s nothing more for you here.”

”Thank you! Thank you, Dragon King! Thank you, Azure Dragon!”

It was clear that Qin Tian hadn’t outright rejected his request to be an underling, which meant there was hope. Wild Boar was immediately overjoyed, so much so that he forgot his finger was injured.

To become an underling of Qin Tian—many dreamed of such an opportunity!

”Hehe, boss, it seems your fame is undiminished; you have fans everywhere,”

After Wild Boar left, Lin Yu jokingly said.

Qin Tian responded with a light smile, ”I’m not as impressive as you and Xiaozhuang. My followers are all males, the tough guys. Unlike you two handsome young men, you have female fans, beauties from both domestic and international circles—the real lucky streak.”

At that, Lin Yu laughed as well, ”Where, where, Xiaozhuang and I are far behind compared to you, boss. Hehe, boss, you’re popular with both men and women, suitable for all ages...”

”Suitable for all ages, let’s not go that far... ahem.”

After joking around for a while, Lin Yu shifted back to a serious tone, ”Boss, you’ve asked us a few things, but there’s someone important you haven’t inquired about. How is she doing?”

”You mean Wan’er, right?”

Qin Tian knew who he was referring to without needing further explanation, ”Of course I need to ask about her situation. But I guess that after Dragon Soul disbanded, she either went to work in a hospital or opened her own clinic to treat and save people.”

Wan’er was kind-hearted and gentle, with a passion for healing people. Qin Tian knew that her dream was to become a doctor who could save lives and heal the wounded.

”Heh, the boss guessed right. Wan’er opened a clinic, Tang’s Clinic.”

Lin Yu smirked, casting a sly glance at Qin Tian, sighed, ”Ah, I say boss, Wan’er likes you so much, how can you be so indifferent? Look, Wan’er is not only unequaled in medical skill, she’s gentle and beautiful, capable in both the hall and the kitchen, and can warm the bed, hehe, only you, boss. Any other man would have been blissfully happy by now.”

”Just think about Xiaozhuang and me—had Wan’er not been devoted elsewhere, we would definitely have pursued her by now. Boss, you know, on the night Dragon Soul disbanded, Wan’er cried all night long.”

”Ah? What happened?” Qin Tian asked.

Qin Tian always looked after Tang Wan like an older brother, and Cao Taiji had even exceptionally taught her medical skills. With her natural intelligence, her medical skill exceeded that of many veteran doctors and professors, making her the Divine Doctor of the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group.

”You ask what happened? That’s a feigned ignorance. Obviously, she was heartbroken. Think about it, how important you are to Wan’er. When Dragon Soul disbanded, you disappeared without even saying goodbye to her. With her delicate nature, can you imagine how heartbroken she was? Her eyes were swollen from crying...”

”Well... how was I to know Dragon Soul would disband?”

Qin Tian spread his hands, at a loss for words. However, thinking about it, it was indeed likely that Tang Wan could have been that heartbroken, which somewhat saddened him.

It had been a month apart, and he truly missed that lovely, gentle girl!

Back then, on the border of Huaxia, when Tang Wan who was not yet ten years old and her family were robbed by bandits, it was Qin Tian and Cao Taiji who appeared in time and rescued her.

Regrettably, Tang Wan’s parents and grandparents all perished in that incident, leaving Tang Wan an orphan, whom Cao Taiji took back to the base.

Since then, Tang Wan had always stayed at the base, calling out every day, ”Bro, wait for me,” ”Bro, be careful,” as she followed Qin Tian everywhere he went.

The two were truly childhood sweethearts.

Qin Tian preferred gentle and virtuous women, not cold beauties like Murong Fei; though Tang Wan was gentle, she was too gentle, an extreme opposite of Murong Fei.

Moreover, having grown up together from childhood, it was natural for Qin Tian to have long regarded Tang Wan as his own sister.

Transforming from siblings to lovers required a mental adjustment, at least for now Qin Tian found it difficult to adapt, hence, his feelings for Tang Wan had always been fraternal.

Recalling that Tang Wan had opened a clinic made Qin Tian feel uneasy; this little girl, though only slightly younger than him by less than a year, was still too naive and too fragile. Previously he had looked after her, but now with no one else around, he wondered if she could adapt to her new life.

”Boss, what mission are you conducting here in Zhonghai City now?” Seeing Qin Tian in deep thought, Lin Yu thought of something and asked.

”A... bodyguard mission, which now seems to be the last mission my master gave me,” Qin Tian said ruefully, shaking his head.

He didn’t go into detail with Lin Yu, in fact, there wasn’t much to say.

Hearing the sorrow in Qin Tian’s tone, Lin Yu felt somewhat pained too. He bowed his head and hesitated for several seconds before finally looking up with a somewhat agonized expression and asked, ”Boss, is our Dragon Soul really disbanding? Has the glory of Dragon Soul really become a thing of the past?”

At this, Qin Tian fell silent.

Back then, they, the Dragon Soul Five Dragons, were ambitious!

Back then, they, the Dragon Soul Five Dragons, dominated the scene!

Back then, they, the Dragon Soul Five Dragons, were inspired to make the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group the number one mercenary group in the world!

And now, they were just a step away, just a step away from the goal of becoming the world’s number one mercenary group!

Was it really over?

He couldn’t accept it!

He couldn’t accept it!

Taking a deep breath and after a long silence, Qin Tian suddenly raised his head, looked at Lin Yu with determination, and said, ”Second, if I plan to re-establish the Dragon Soul Mercenary Group and take Dragon Soul back to the pinnacle of the world, would you join me?”

”Of course! You’ll always be my boss! Becoming the world’s number one mercenary group is also my dream as Azure Dragon!”

It was as if Lin Yu had been waiting for Qin Tian to say those words, and he declared resolutely.

The two looked eye to eye, their gazes filled with passion! Filled with energy! It was as if they had returned to the glorious days when they had fought to build and rise the Dragon Soul from its humble beginnings!

”Good, the world’s number one dream that our master couldn’t complete, we as his disciples, will help him achieve it!”

Qin Tian’s expression became extremely solemn as he said, ”Rebuilding Dragon Soul is imperative! We will trample the Skull Mercenary Group underfoot!”

”This vengeance is a must!” Lin Yu echoed.

”Alright, then. Second, go find third, fourth, and fifth, let’s gather the Dragon Soul Five Dragons in Zhonghai to discuss the affairs of rebuilding Dragon Soul!”

”Okay!”

The two chatted under the night street lights, exchanged contact information, and then Lin Yu left.

The next day, Lin Yu prepared to go to Northern Europe to find Xiao Zhuang.

And that night, Dragon Soul was reborn!

...

When he returned to his place, it was around three in the morning. He finally managed to hail a taxi, and on the ride, Qin Tian’s emotions remained unsettled.

He really couldn’t understand, Dragon Soul was clearly growing stronger, why did the old man decide to disband it?

Where had the old man gone after leaving alone?

What was the real purpose behind summoning him to Zhonghai City? Was it just to have him marry Murong Fei?

With a series of questions in his heart, Qin Tian couldn’t find any answers, and the more he thought, the more complex it became; eventually, he stopped thinking about it altogether.

However, one thing was for sure— the Skull Mercenary Group were the masterminds behind sabotaging the last mission, and during the dissolution of Dragon Soul, they secretly absorbed many members of Dragon Soul, forcibly took over a large portion of Dragon Soul’s clients, incited disputes, and spread rumors of Dragon Soul being swallowed by Skull, their methods were despicable and ruthless!

Remembering when Dragon Soul was still weak and Skull, already powerful, oppressed Dragon Soul in every possible way, even assassinating Dragon Soul members and humiliating Qin Tian’s master, Cao Taiji... Qin Tian’s anger rose to his face, and he clenched his fists tightly!

This vengeance must be retaliated! Tenfold!

Dragon Soul and Skull, would not coexist!

Lin Yu said that the Skull Mercenary Group, continuously growing in strength, had now become the juggernaut of the Mercenary World, ascending to the throne of supremacy. Powerful and awe-inspiring, arrogant!

Yet even so, the belief in Qin Tian’s heart was unwavering—Dragon Soul would surely rise from the ashes! It would definitely crush Skull!
