Chapter 579: Chapter 581 World Mercenary Association

Qin Tian indeed hadn’t been sick for quite some time, and this time he had to be hospitalized and receive IV fluids due to a high fever. It was a good opportunity for him to rest for a couple of days.

He had indeed been a bit tired recently and had expended a great deal of energy.

Especially on the day at the Flying Knife Sect, it was almost like he single-handedly took on the entire Sect by himself, then he pursued Ye Feidao, and afterward, he carried Meng Yao through the snowy terrain for such a long distance, even giving her his clothes to wear to block the wind and snow...

Under such circumstances, a normal person would likely not have been able to endure it.

”It’s good, I can take advantage of the hospitalization and infusion time to rest a bit, to organize the future development direction of War Dragon, and to think about how my Qin Group should grow stronger to provide economic support for the development of War Dragon later on. Hmm, a very nice rest time.”

In the somewhat luxurious hospital room, Qin Tian hummed a tune, played with his smartphone, and felt very relaxed.

In the morning, Meng Yao called to inquire about his condition, and after that, she probably went off to get busy. Besides the beautiful nurse who came in on time to change the medicine, no one else visited the hospital room.

As Qin Tian was playing a mobile game on his phone, a call came in. It was Lin Yu.

”Boss, we’ve gone to Southeast Asia these past few days to inspect the specific conditions there. Regarding the issue of establishing a War Dragon branch, I, Zhou Yang, and little Zhuang all think that it can be set up in Southeast Asia. The place is a hub for mercenaries and is well-connected in terms of transportation, with access to waterways, roadways, and well-developed aviation. Plus, with so many countries, the general security is poor, and the police are too busy to take care of many grey-area issues, giving us a more relaxed environment.”

Lin Yu started off by reporting to Qin Tian the recent inspection in Southeast Asia to establish a War Dragon branch.

He had already returned to Wolong Mountain, with Zhou Yang and little Zhuang beside him.

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Zhou Yang added, ”Another advantage in Southeast Asia is that there’s no language barrier, which is beneficial for us to quickly integrate into the local environment. I observed that many powerful mercenary organizations from our Huaxia have moved onto this hotspot in Southeast Asia.”

After listening to their analysis, Qin Tian thought for a minute and said, ”Since that’s the case, then our first overseas branch will be established in Southeast Asia. Have you guys selected a location yet?”

”We’ve selected three potential sites. One is on a mountain in Thailand, about a hundred kilometers from their capital; one is inside a manor in Indonesia, a very hidden place; and another is on an island in the Pacific Ocean, not too far from Thailand, the Philippines, or Singapore.”

”What’s your opinion?” Qin Tian asked.

Zhou Yang said, ”The three of us discussed it, and we actually all agreed that the island is the most suitable. The island is uninhabited, privately owned. We went there and saw that it could be around ten thousand acres in size, purchased by a tycoon for investment purposes. There are a few villas on the island, but the rest of the facilities are not very comprehensive. However, we think this could provide us with the space needed for a base.”

”We had a meal with that tycoon, and he’s willing to rent the island to us for a yearly rent of one million US dollars. I think it’s very cheap. Although it’s an undeveloped wilderness, if our branch has any operations, we can reach any place in Southeast Asia quickly and easily.”

Zhou Yang continued his analysis and added, as he thought of something else, ”Oh right, the island is called Cloud Island, typically hard to find on a map.”

”Cloud Island...”

Qin Tian softly read out the name and said, ”Of these three candidate locations, Cloud Island indeed seems most favorable for us to stretch out. So let’s settle on that, Zhou Yang. You will be responsible for negotiating with that tycoon. Once the terms are agreed upon, sign the contract directly. Our lease should be at least 20 years, and they’re not allowed to raise the rent during the lease period. Once that’s settled, you three will be in charge of renovating Cloud Island. Then we can bring over all our War Dragon members here to start expanding international business.”

”Yes, boss.”

Zhou Yang immediately agreed, then asked, ”By the way, boss, should we consider joining the Mercenary Association?”

”Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was taken aback, ”What Mercenary Association?”

Xiao Zhuang said, ”Recently, there’s been a surge in the Mercenary World. Mercenary giants from all continents met in North America and discussed the establishment of the World Mercenary Association, claimed to be the most extensive mercenary organization in the world. It seems that all the powerful mercenary organizations have basically joined.”

”Of course, those who are not well-known or haven’t demonstrated their strength haven’t received an invitation and therefore aren’t eligible to join the World Mercenary Association. Our War Dragon hasn’t been established for long and hasn’t made a splash on the world stage, so we haven’t received an invitation from the World Mercenary Association.”

”However, the World Mercenary Association has subsequently established branches in each continent. We’re under the Asian branch of the World Mercenary Association; additionally, there are branches in North America, Europe, Africa, South America, and Oceania. The requirements for joining the main World Mercenary Association are very high, but the threshold for joining the branches is relatively lower. The Asian branch is currently calling for mercenary organizations to join. Should we consider joining?”

Xiao Zhuang slowly said.

Qin Tian fell silent, thinking to himself that the world really changes rapidly. Now there’s even a World Mercenary Association established! It’s obvious that those mercenary giants are trying to create a monopoly!

”Is the Skull Mercenary Group a member of the main World Mercenary Association?” Qin Tian suddenly asked.

”Cough cough... Of course, the Skull Mercenary Group is one of the initiators of the World Mercenary Association. In Asia, only three teams are members of the main World Mercenary Association, and Skull is certainly among them.” Xiao Zhuang said.

”Boss, I think we shouldn’t join this damn association,” Lin Yu said discontentedly, ”This association is the work of those big shots in the Mercenary World, definitely set up to serve their interests and assert their authority. If we join, we will only be bullied. Besides, didn’t our Dragon Soul do well before without joining any organization or alliance? I say we ignore them!”

Lin Yu said, dissatisfied.

Xiao Zhuang also said, ”Exactly, especially with the Asian branch. The Skull Mercenary Group will definitely be one of the leaders in this branch. Although they are members of the main association, they will undoubtedly have many underlings within the branch, giving them significant influence. We aim to overthrow Skull, so joining their organization, being led and bullied by them, is definitely not acceptable!”

Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang, both having no favorable opinion of Skull, were against joining the association upon learning of Skull’s high and powerful position within it.

Qin Tian said nothing, pondered for a while, and asked Zhou Yang, ”Old Zhou, what’s your opinion?”

”My opinion differs from theirs,” Zhou Yang replied, ”I think, if we want to overthrow Skull and become the world’s strongest mercenary team, we need to join the association, build our reputation, start from the bottom and climb up step by step, overthrow those giants from their leadership positions, and legitimately become the boss! The supreme leader!”
