Chapter 768: Declaration of War
It had only been a year since the Wei Nation’s recession. The national scandals had yet to be forgotten when the godfather of the commerce world died, and his brutal death put the Wei Nation into the world’s spotlight once again.
The Wei Nation Prime Minister had been frustrated for a few days straight, with all the headlines filled with bad news.
A godfather level individual to the Wei Nation economy had been assassinated in his own home, which was even located in the capital! It has been three days, yet the police still had no clue who did it, leaving the murderer wandering free.
Under pressure, the police posted a reward of fifty million dollars for anyone who knew the murderer, indicating how influential this matter was.
On top of this, the Wei Nation was put into exposure again.
The previous incident of the Sanko Group’s internal conflict finally broke out when Hiroshi Shitsuno’s dead body was found hanging from the street lamp in front of the Sanko Group Headquarters.
This could have been suppressed, but when Okami’s confidant killed Muranaka’s confidant, causing them to think it was revenge, this situation that originally could have been eased by the police, escalated. The police started to suppress Hiroshi Shitsuno’s side to turn in the culprit.
But they didn’t actually do anything, so how could they turn anyone in?
That was when Hiroshi Shitsuno’s dead body appeared in such a humiliating way, infuriating all of Hiroshi Shitsuno’s former followers.
Their boss was humiliated to this extent and if they continued to be rats on the streets, then they’d be real losers.
Therefore, the largest armed fight in the history of the Wei Nation took place, where all the four to five thousand supporters of Hiroshi Shitsuno gathered at the headquarters and went to war with the Muranaka and Kameyo supporters.
Kameyo and Muranaka were in the process of dividing up their gains and were caught off guard when it happened.
The Wei Nation was one again in the world’s spotlight within less than a week.
The Prime Minister had been scolding the police department everyday, and although they’ve tried to control the Sanko group, they failed to suppress them. Even the Sumiyoshi group and the other known group which made up the three violent mafias of the Wei Nation were trying to take a shot at getting Sanko’s resources. They wanted to end the Sanko Group since there probably wouldn’t be another chance if they missed this one.
Therefore, everything just became messier when they tried to resolve it.
The whole city of Kobe was in a state of turmoil, where violent mafias had plunged the whole city into chaos. Not just Kobe, but wherever Sanko members were in the Wei Nation, there would be an outbreak when they encountered each other, endangering all the citizens in the Wei Nation.
The police chief resigned directly, giving authority to the M Nation stationed troops to handle this matter, but because of their intense methods, it also resulted in public riots.
The whole chain of events brought down the image of the Wei Nation, and the Prime Minister was directly fired.
Meanwhile, at the round table in Switzerland.
Oldman Rothschild slapped his palm on the table.
Okami’s death was a slap in the face of the Capital Society.
Especially since the killer left a symbol just in case they didn’t know who did it, and that was a declaration of war!
A total provocation!
Someone took the symbol left behind and explained, “We investigated and found that this symbol had only appeared in the Land of Mercenaries and it’s on the flag of the Deviant Mercenary Corps!”
“Deviant Mercenary Corps?” The six Lords all narrowed their eyes.
“Their leader is dead, and they still want to fight with us?” said the Lord of Africa.
“No, we don’t know if he’s dead yet. Both Ge Lie and him disappeared after that battle, and we couldn’t manage to find his corpse. We could conclude that he’s not dead! The three eunuchs who were our last hope also didn’t return from Huaxia. According to the intelligence, I’m afraid they’ve also died.”
“In that case, this leader of the Deviant Corp is one of the top mercenaries?”
“Now the worry is not him, but the entire Deviant Corp and what kind of role they play. The Duke wants us to find out the nature of the Deviant Corp and have an overall assessment on their strength and ability,” Oldman Rothschild said.
The others were amazed, all of them. “The Duke has been alarmed?”
Rothschild nodded. “A Lord has been killed, and they provoked the Capital Society at the same time. This was the first time our roots have been shaken by someone since Hitler and his massacre. How could he not pay attention?”
“As long as the Duke is behind us, we have nothing to fear. The foundation of Capital Society is the Duke.”
– The Land of Mercenaries –
When Kush, who was under surveillance, saw the news, he smiled at the Mr. R behind him and said, “It’s surprising that one of the Seven Continental Lords was actually assassinated. This is the first time since the 21st century, right?”
Kush was taken under control by someone from the Capital Society since Xu Cheng disappeared. The other members weren’t capable of fighting Mr. R, so he was taken away. Now that Kush was the first president of this country, he couldn’t die. Otherwise, the Land of Mercenaries would fall into turmoil again. Therefore, Mr. R was in charge of monitoring him, and Kush was needed to sell the crude oil to the M Nation.
Mr. R was shocked watching the news.
Kush sat in the president’s suite with his legs crossed as he said, “You can’t kill him; believe me, I’ve tried. If he’s alive, then it will be your doomsday. You’ve completely offended the Deviant Corp, so just wait and see because this is just the beginning. More will die!”
Mr. R: “If you talk more nonsense, I will kill you first, believe it or not.”
Kush smiled even more. “Kill me. But killing me won’t stop the Deviant Corp from butchering you all! Sure you can kill me, since now that this country has been stabilized, I’ve accomplished my mission. However, killing me would mean it will be harder for you to reach your hands into this country.”
Mr. R: “We can pick a better native to be the president.”
Kush shook his head. “Impossible, whoever you find will die! The Deviant Corp will not allow anyone other than me to be the president of this country. This I can say confidently.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Mr. R and said, “Why don’t you also join the Deviant Corp? I guarantee you that you’ll be even more powerful than you are now.”
Mr. R sneered, “Then why don’t I see you becoming more powerful? Those cowards. If they’re really that great, then they should come out and fight me!”
Kush smiled and didn’t say anything. He sat calmly in the president’s chair, not feeling like a puppet at all.
Did he really not improve at all since that genetic modification back a while ago?
Not necessarily.
It just wasn’t the right time yet.
Mr. R would never know that Kush has been in contact with Diesel and Vala under his nose. Only Xu Cheng, Chekhov, Mario, and Lin Dong have been exposed as Deviant Corp members while the identities of the rest remained in the dark.
