Chapter 3481

Although the black-clad leader was unwilling to believe Ye Chen's words, he was also very clear in his heart that all his subordinates had lost contact, and that one of them had actually been beheaded at the door just now, which proved that Ye Chen was not lying.

However, he did not believe that all his subordinates had been killed by Ye Chen alone, and he guessed that Ye Chen must have accomplices outside.

At this moment, he did not immediately shoot at Ye Chen, but instead pondered silently for a moment in his heart, and said to Ye Chen: "Brother, we are all just trying to make a living, there's no need to be so serious. You killed so many of my brothers, I admit it, and I won't make any excessive demands. As long as you let us go, I can hand over all these hostages unharmed to you!"

Ye Chen said lightly: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

The black-clad leader said with a grim expression: "Brother, you are being a bit heartless. If you really want to fight to the death, even if I die, I will drag these people down with me as a shield! Our guns don't have eyes, and I see that you know these few people. Are you trying to collect their corpses?"

Ye Chen sneered: "Collecting corpses is something you should do for your own subordinates!"

Having said that, he suddenly waved one hand and shouted loudly: "Thunder, come!"

The next second, the entire bar was suddenly covered with dark clouds, layer upon layer of black clouds spreading instantly across the entire ceiling, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, as if one had suddenly arrived at an altitude of several thousand meters and was observing a thunderstorm up close, which was shocking!

At this time, Ye Chen no longer intended to pretend in front of these people.

Whether it was these mercenaries posing as members of the Wanlong Temple, or Hamid, Tawana, and Bernard Elnor, he did not want to deliberately conceal his true strength anymore.

He had to make these people completely submissive and obedient to him, so that not only could today's matter be perfectly resolved, but these three people would also be completely under his control in the future.

He had just killed so many people, and without the cooperation of these three, it would be impossible to cover up this matter, and White Horse Island could not properly dispose of dozens of corpses. Moreover, if these people suddenly vanished, Blackwater Company would certainly try every means to investigate the cause.

Moreover, including his father-in-law and mother-in-law, these people now had memories of this terrorist attack. Although erasing their memories was not difficult, if this matter could not be covered up, erasing their memories would be meaningless, and instead, when Blackwater Company secretly investigated, they would discover clues.

Therefore, he did not intend to conceal this matter. He wanted these people to cooperate with him, not only to perfectly resolve the aftermath of this matter, but also to shift all the blame onto Blackwater Company.

Blackwater Company is now colluding with the opposition, and this time he must let Blackwater Company be disgraced worldwide, while also giving the opposition a strong warning, so that from now on, they dare not have any malicious intentions toward Hamid and the Wanlong Temple.

Thus, at the moment when the dark clouds were gathering on the bar's ceiling and lightning was flashing and rolling between the ceiling, Ye Chen looked at the black-clad leader and said coldly: "Watch closely, I only give you one chance!"

The black-clad man trembled all over with fright, completely unaware of how Ye Chen had done all this, and even more unaware of what he intended to do.

At this moment, Ye Chen raised his hand and pointed at the man's feet. Immediately, the lightning and thunder in the ceiling gathered into a powerful bolt of lightning, which with a boom struck the wooden floor beside his feet, directly blasting a hole as large as a washbasin, and the air was filled with the smell of burning wood.

The black-clad leader felt that all his body hair had been stood on end by this bolt of lightning!

Others also stared at Ye Chen in dumbfounded silence, never expecting that someone in this world could actually control lightning!

Tawana and Hamid knew Ye Chen was formidable, but they never dreamed he could be formidable to this fantastical degree.

At this moment, the black-clad leader finally realized that the young man before him was not on the same level as him, not even in the same world. In the face of such formidable power, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

Thus, he decisively threw down his gun, fell to his knees with a thud, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ye, I have eyes but do not recognize Mount Tai, and have offended you. Naturally, my death is not worth regretting, but considering that I have not yet committed a grave error, I hope you can give me a chance to redeem myself through merit."

Having said that, he quickly turned to the remaining few subordinates and said: "You bastards! Hurry up and put down your guns! Kneel and beg for forgiveness like Mr. Ye!"

Those few then came to their senses, hurriedly threw down their guns, and knelt down with a thud.

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said calmly: "I like to communicate with people who know the times."

Having said that, he asked the leader: "Tell me everything you know in detail."

The black-clad leader said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, my real name is Ma Kui. I am Australian, of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent. I joined Blackwater Company ten years ago and am a level-seven mercenary under Blackwater Company, mainly responsible for affairs in the Southern Hemisphere."

Ye Chen asked: "What does level-seven mercenary mean?"

Ma Kui explained: "Mr. Ye, for internal management convenience, Blackwater Company has a very strict promotion system. Combat positions are divided into ten levels from 1 to 10, with level-ten mercenaries being the strongest. Management positions are the same, except they are not called level mercenaries; they use M as a prefix, from M1 to M10."

Ye Chen frowned: "This system sounds just like those internet companies."

"Exactly!" Ma Kui said: "Blackwater Company has been doing management reforms these years, and now it is basically structured like a large multinational corporation."

Ye Chen asked again: "As an Australian responsible for Southern Hemisphere business, why were you arranged to come here? The Maldives is basically a Northern Hemisphere country, right?"

Ma Kui hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, you don't know this, but the vast majority of Blackwater Company's mercenaries are European-American and African-American, while Asian yellow-skinned people are relatively few. This time, Blackwater Company specially gathered a batch of Asian yellow-skinned people from around the world, so I was temporarily dispatched here."

Ye Chen nodded and continued: "Did Blackwater Company send you here to assassinate Hamid, the commander?"

"Exactly!" Ma Kui nodded heavily and said: "Because the opposition has always been secretly supported by the US government, the high-level officials of Blackwater Company and the Syrian opposition have long been cooperating. At that time, the Wanlong Temple cooperated with the government forces, so they were considered enemies of the US and the opposition. In fact, the two sides had already been secretly colluding."

Speaking, Ma Kui explained: "The opposition has two goals: one is to kill Hamid and seize his territory, the other is to drive the Wanlong Temple out of Syria. Coincidentally, Blackwater Company also wants to strengthen its influence in the Middle East. Therefore, after learning that Hamid had come to the Maldives for vacation, they decided to let us come here to impersonate Wanlong Temple mercenaries, stage a terrorist attack, and secretly kill Hamid under its cover, then use the terrorist attack to frame the Wanlong Temple."

"By then, the US government would push in the UN to define the Wanlong Temple as an international terrorist organization. After driving the Wanlong Temple out of Syria, they would hand over the Wanlong Temple's base in Syria to Blackwater Company to inherit…"
