Chapter 201: Sisters
Jiulong's death caused quite a stir within Amalgam.
Although the bottom-level personnel didn't feel much, the reaction was intense among the cadres and above.
Although this guy Jiulong was too murderous, his ability was very excellent, and he was also an Executive Candidate.
Such a person could be considered a heavyweight within the organization, but he died in the mountain ditch of Helmakistan, and it was said that even his ashes could not be left behind.
Afterwards, Amalgam's intelligence personnel conducted a preliminary investigation. Combined with the intelligence provided by the Helmakistan government army, they confirmed that Mithril's combat troops intervened, and even confirmed Mithril's Lambda Driver-equipped machine.
So at first, everyone within the organization thought Jiulong died in the hands of Mithril, and the nuclear bomb was also taken away by Mithril's troops.
But not long after, important news was sent back by intelligence personnel lurking within Mithril.
According to the mission report of the survivors who participated in this operation from Mithril, Mithril didn't get the nuclear bomb at all, and Jiulong was not killed by Mithril.
Immediately, the intelligence search restarted, and Li Boyong's traces were exposed to the intelligence personnel.
This was inevitable. Li Boyong was also an Amalgam Executive Candidate, and his whereabouts were not difficult to check.
Just Li Boyong's appearance in the Azadistan capital before the incident was enough for investigators to place the suspect target on him.
After all, Azadistan was next to Helmakistan, and in the whole incident of the nuclear bomb being seized, Li Boyong indeed left traces in Helmakistan territory.
There was clear evidence that a third-party force attacked the Helmakistan regular army at that time.
It was just that the things that could be investigated stopped there.
It was impossible to have more conclusive evidence...
Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that the one who killed Jiulong was Li Boyong, but what could they do to him?
Would he admit it himself?
Would people at the cadre level be willing to offend a living Executive Candidate for a dead Executive Candidate?
And for people at the Executive Officer level, it was just dog-eat-dog between candidates. With one less candidate, wouldn't those sitting in the positions feel relieved?
What's more, there were people who wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Li Boyong, and naturally there were people who wanted to win over Li Boyong. At least Lord Mallory rarely expressed his support for Li Boyong with a tough attitude.
And Leonard, who liked to watch the excitement, also expressed his support for Li Boyong.
The highest meeting, with divided opinions, failed to judge whether Li Boyong had betrayed the organization.
In the end, the matter was left unsettled, but in the eyes of those who were hostile to Li Boyong, this Executive Candidate Li Boyong already constituted a sufficient threat.
And Li Boyong, who successfully killed Jiulong, also formally showed his cards to the Xia sisters afterwards.
"Teacher is dead..."
When Yufang heard Li Boyong personally admit that he killed Jiulong, she revealed such rich expressions on her face for the first time.
Shock, doubt, anger, and a trace of relief...
"Why?"
She didn't clamor to avenge the teacher, she just forced herself to calm down and asked.
As for what exactly this "why" meant, and what kind of answer she wanted to hear from Li Boyong, Yufang didn't know at all.
Indeed, Jiulong adopted the sisters who were in despair at the time, and taught them the skills to survive in the industry.
From this point, it could be said that Jiulong was as kind as a mountain to the sisters.
But at the same time, Jiulong also trained them into emotionless tools, and didn't know how many dirty things he had used the sisters to do over the years.
If Li Boyong hadn't appeared, Yufang and Yulan wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong with being a tool like this.
Because in their world, there was only one way of life: listen to the teacher.
But Li Boyong just appeared, and always instilled some strange ideas when getting along, and never treated them as tools.
Over time, a trace of humanity began to revive in the hearts of the Xia sisters.
So in Tokyo, when Li Boyong met Jiulong for the first time, Jiulong complained to Li Boyong about the Xia sisters.
After that, guided by Wang Liumei, the Xia sisters also realized something.
For them, who were gradually recovering their humanity, it was inevitable to suddenly realize that if they wanted to get rid of the status of tools, the teacher Jiulong was an insurmountable shackle.
If they relied only on the Xia sisters, they would probably never break this shackle in their lifetime. This shackle didn't just exist in the pressure of reality, but also in the hearts of the sisters.
But Li Boyong just killed Jiulong, and the shackle was broken...
But the Xia sisters' world also collapsed...
"Nothing, it can only be said that it was a conflict of interest, and he couldn't beat me." Li Boyong shrugged and said easily: "This is a common thing in the industry, isn't it?"
Such an answer, such an explanation, was not what Yufang and Yulan wanted to hear at all.
"What's wrong?" Li Boyong asked: "Want to kill me to avenge your teacher?"
Hearing this, Yulan clenched her fists tightly, but suddenly froze.
Avenge the teacher...
But how much affection did they have for the teacher?
For them, the teacher could be the whole world, but could also be meaningless.
The teacher is already dead...
After losing the teacher and the master who gave orders, the Xia sisters, who were trained as loyal dogs, didn't know what to do.
And this kind of thing was just a common thing in the industry. Revenge was meaningless in the first place.
"How do you intend to deal with us?"
After a long silence, Yulan asked such a question.
They were Jiulong's disciples and Jiulong's adopted daughters. If Li Boyong, who was now an Executive Candidate, wanted to cut the weeds and dig up the roots, it wouldn't be unimaginable.
"That depends on your answer." Li Boyong said.
The Xia sisters looked at each other and revealed bewildered gazes for the first time.
No answer?
Seeing this situation, Li Boyong sighed long. After losing their master, did the puppets not even have basic self-judgment?
"Since Jiulong is dead, then I will hire you from now on." Li Boyong said in a condescending tone: "From today on, I am your teacher. You just need to act according to my orders."
Yufang and Yulan looked at each other, knelt on the ground at the same time, and lowered their heads to Li Boyong: "Yes, teacher!"
Perhaps it was a bit absurd, but this was the lifestyle of tools.
"Very good, then hurry up and start today's first mission." Li Boyong clapped his hands happily and said: "Go to the street immediately, each of you buy four sets of clothes you like. Listen carefully, you have to feel that you like them yourself." ===== CHAPTER 202 =====
