Chapter 120

The Winter Soldiers are an exception; their sanity is unclear and their identities are special, so they can only be given absolute obedience orders for the time being.

In the future, things will naturally change depending on the situation.

White Queen and the others don't have that requirement for self-awareness for super-soldiers; anyway, there's no need to worry about loyalty, as long as they are obedient and can complete tasks, that's enough.

So overnight, there were Maki Matsumoto and sixteen super-soldiers in the Void Bar.

"My surname is Gao; you can call me Madame Gao. You should have already guessed the purpose of my coming here."

"So—have you thought about how you want to die?"

Madame Gao spoke in Chinese, and after she finished, a subordinate in a suit and leather shoes behind her translated into English.

Although Madame Gao looked old, what she said was very arrogant; as soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted lives!

Dottie Underwood chuckled: "Who will die, that's not certain!"

As the words fell, she waved her hand.

The surrounding super-soldiers instantly rushed toward Madame Gao and her subordinates.

Madame Gao's expression didn't change, showing complete composure; although the people she brought weren't many, they were all experts, just a dozen or so people—

"Bang!"

One of the elite experts under her was actually blasted against the wall by the other party's unorganized fists, then fell to the ground with a thud and couldn't crawl up.

How is this possible?!

"Bang!"

Another subordinate was flattened by the two of them attacking from left and right.

Clearly, these people didn't look like they had received any professional training; it was like street thugs fighting, without any rules.

But their strength, defense, and reaction ability were all top-notch; where did they find these people?

In just a few minutes, the people she brought were all flattened and lost their combat effectiveness.

The super-soldiers were also injured, but not seriously; with their physical fitness, it wouldn't take long for them to recover.

Sixteen super-soldiers, even without any previous combat foundation, were still bullying Madame Gao's elite subordinates.

"I heard you have 'Qi'; let me see it."

White Queen stood up and walked toward the isolated Madame Gao.

Madame Gao didn't hesitate and raised her hand to strike a palm.

Clearly, there was still some distance between the two, but an invisible force blasted into White Queen.

White Queen, whose whole body was diamondized, took a few steps back in a dazzling display, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Is this Qi?

Invisible and traceless, not fierce, but extremely penetrating.

Her diamond form couldn't even completely block the attack of 'Qi'!

"You—what kind of ability is this?!"

Madame Gao looked at White Queen, who had become a diamond person, and asked in surprise.

"This is my innate talent!"

White Queen's psychic ability was activated; Madame Gao seemed to sense it, her expression changed as she took a few steps back, using Qi to guard her mind.

"I underestimated you; I admit defeat this time!"

"But doing business is about seeking wealth; I don't want the factory, and I don't want the pier, but you must allow my ships to dock here, resupply, and move freely."

"We will consider it."

"Good."

Madame Gao glanced at her subordinates who were almost impossible to follow her, slowly turned around, pushed the door, and walked out of the bar.

The older people get, the more timid they become.

So many super-soldiers had already given her a shock.

White Queen's diamond form and psychic abilities made her feel even more uneasy.

Moreover, it wasn't just White Queen; there was also someone named Dottie Underwood next to her, and this incident was caused by her.

If she stayed any longer, it might be difficult to leave unscathed.

As for the pier and the factory, anyway, they couldn't be snatched back now; even if she didn't give them up, they would still be in their hands.

Giving them up, at least her people could still come to Madripoor port to do business.

And whether to give them up or not, many times it's useless to talk; strength is the key!

Madame Gao brought her subordinates into the bar with their heads held high, but when she came out, there was only Madame Gao herself, looking serious.

This surprised the various factions waiting for the result nearby.

Even Madame Gao coming out in person didn't work; it seems the final result of this matter has been settled.

After Madame Gao left, the bar quickly returned to its noisy state, and it was even livelier than before.

"Ring ring ring—ring ring ring—"

Su Quan, who had watched almost the entire process through Friday's network monitoring, received a call from Dottie Underwood.

She first briefly reported the situation in all aspects and then mentioned Madame Gao's proposal.

"What do you think of the Hand?"

"The Hand—are you thinking of incorporating the Hand? I know what to do."

With one counter-question, Dottie Underwood understood Su Quan's thoughts.

With their current size, incorporating the Hand is like a snake swallowing an elephant, but once successful, it's no exaggeration to say it's like building a ten-thousand-foot building from the ground up.

After all, the Hand has been operating for so many years, and its influence and information channels are spread all over the world.

The benefits of incorporating the Hand don't even need to be mentioned.

"I—I have one more thing."

"Speak."

Dottie Underwood said hesitantly.

"I heard Emma mention the Gotei 13; I have no problem being a captain, but, but can the name be changed?"

"Gotei 13, it sounds weird. Didn't you say you wanted to put the Where-It-All-Connects headquarters here? How about we just unify it as Where-It-All-Connects."

PS: I originally planned to use names everyone is familiar with, like Gotei 13, Four Emperors, etc., but everyone doesn't seem to like them, so I won't use them.
