Chapter 194: Executive Candidate (Part I)

After the Behemoth was obtained, it didn't mean the matter had completely come to an end.

First, he needed to find a way to transport this massive thing out of Japan. Don't forget that Mithril had a carrier-class submarine capable of carrying six AS units, several fighter jets, several armed helicopters, and capable of ultra-high-speed diving.

In order not to leak intelligence, Li Boyong had to detain Tessa and the others for a few more days, and let his subordinates dismantle the giant into several parts, transport them out of Japan by different cargo ships along different routes, avoid possible tracking through various disguises, and finally transport them into Nansang City.

When Tessa and the others finally regained their freedom a few days later, the traces of Li Boyong and the others could no longer be found in this country.

Sousuke and Chidori Kaname returned to school at the same time, but only got one piece of gossip.

The teacher-student romance between Teacher Li Boyong and student Shihe was exposed, and both were persuaded to leave the school.

For some reason, when Chidori Kaname, who had returned from an amazing urban adventure, heard this news circulating on campus, she couldn't help but laugh while clutching her stomach.

"That guy, he really is a guy with a terrible personality, to actually arrange such a plot for his departure."

"I can't understand, why are you laughing so happily, Chidori?" Sousuke indicated that he couldn't get the punchline at all: "Is this action of the enemy so funny?"

"Probably because he's a strange and interesting guy." Chidori Kaname poked her chin with her finger and thought for a moment before answering: "And, I really don't feel that the teacher and Shihe have any intention of being enemies with you."

"Too naive. According to the Colonel's speculation, the teacher should also be clear about the intelligence of the Whispered and the Lambda Driver, and is likely in the same organization as Jiulong. Although I don't know why he let you go at that time, there must be some ulterior motives."

"Is that so? But I always feel that the feeling he gives is different from that guy you defeated."

Chidori Kaname expressed a different view. She was a high school student living in a peaceful society and had her own judgment. It was inevitable that she would have different values from an insider like Sousuke.

"Perhaps the teacher is not as murderous as Jiulong, but as a wandering warlord, no one knows what he will do for profit at any time."

Sousuke explained again. Holding naive fantasies about the enemy could be an extremely dangerous thing.

"Look, even you are still calling him teacher. As expected, you subconsciously don't think the teacher is a bad person either."

Chidori Kaname caught the slip of the tongue that Sousuke hadn't even realized, and said: "And I always feel that with Shihe there, the teacher can't be that bad."

Pointed out the loophole in his words by Chidori Kaname, Sousuke also fell into self-doubt for a moment.

Why did he continue to call that man teacher?

Then Sousuke reviewed the other party just now and realized: "Wasn't that led astray by you, Chidori?"

"Is that so?"

Chidori Kaname touched the back of her head and laughed. Although the process had some ups and downs, wasn't it fine as long as the result was good?

The city was not destroyed, and everyone was safe and sound.

No...

Chidori Kaname suddenly remembered another thing that gave her a stomachache, which was the declaration of war from Tessa.

"I like Sergeant Sagara, so I won't lose to you, Chidori."

That was the whisper in Chidori Kaname's ear before parting, after Tessa had specifically sent Sousuke away.

So what exactly did that loli captain mean!

Chidori Kaname, who had been quite happy, suddenly went crazy, leaving Sousuke on the side completely confused.

"Sousuke, you are not allowed to take the make-up exam for the next social studies test."

"Huh?"

"Don't you understand? The point is that we must start tutoring immediately. Come to my house tonight. I will teach you your lessons, got it?"

"Yes... understood."

"Also, eat all the food I cook when the time comes."

"YE... YES, sir."

It seems... the daily campus life will be as noisy as ever.

————

Noisy golden beaches, bustling commercial streets, the hot AS fighting tournament venue.

The scenery of Nansang City was the same as ever, but the underground emperor of this city had returned here once again.

Returning with Li Boyong and Shihe, besides the original subordinates and AS units, were the members of A21 and the Behemoth.

Nami was as clingy as ever. People who didn't know probably couldn't tell that this girl, who smiled shyly in front of Shihe, possessed the power to manage this city on Li Boyong's behalf.

And after the awakening of the Whispered's ability, Nami didn't seem to just provide black technology; her own abilities in all aspects had also been greatly improved.

In her own words, it was that her ability to understand things had become stronger.

Li Boyong let Shihe and Nami start the analysis work of the Lambda Driver.

There might not be any results in the short term, but Shihe was full of interest in this work, and Nami was pulled to accompany her whenever she was free.

As for Li Boyong, he used the members of A21 to form a subordinate organization, still led by Saina, reporting directly to Li Boyong.

It was just that there were some deviations in the matter of the Executive Candidate within the organization.

That bastard Mr. Au actually made excuses for Li Boyong after the fact, and the promotion to Executive Candidate was dragged out just like that.

It seemed that the other party still wanted to hold Li Boyong over this matter so that Li Boyong could continue to serve him in the future.

So, in order not to let Li Boyong completely turn against him, a Hell Monarch equipped with a Lambda Driver was secretly sent to Nansang City.

Within the current Amalgam, although Li Boyong didn't have the title of Executive Candidate, in terms of military force alone, he was already approaching the level of an Executive Officer.

If he wanted, he could raise an armored force composed of more than a dozen second-generation AS units and tank units at any time, plus two third-generation Phantoms and the Hell Monarch and Behemoth equipped with Lambda Drivers, which would be an extremely powerful combat force.

And controlling Nansang City, his economic ability was also enough to continuously provide strong endurance for this force.

Relying on the powerful deterrence of these two aspects, not only were the local government positions in Nansang City encroached upon by Li Boyong, but even the surrounding cities began to gradually fall under Li Boyong's control, and his influence even gradually expanded into the regular army.

Just like that, Li Boyong became an extremely rare existence even within the Amalgam organization—a warlord with fixed territory and elite military power.

So, it was under these circumstances that the most mysterious Mr. Hg within the Amalgam organization contacted Li Boyong through some means.

Saying he was the most mysterious was because this Mr. Hg was the Executive Officer most difficult to contact within the organization. The other party didn't seem to be responsible for the daily operation of Amalgam.

It seemed that he didn't have a large faction within the organization, only possessing basic self-defense forces and the position of Executive Officer.

Many cadres looked down on this descendant of the rumored founder of Amalgam, but only Li Boyong knew that while being an Amalgam Executive Officer, the other party was also the biggest sponsor and founder of Mithril.

If possible, compared to other Executive Officers, he would rather cooperate with this old gentleman. ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
