Super Soldier - Chapter 244

Chapter 244: 244





King-kong was a straightforward man who wasn’t very interested in the leadership, it was even more so with Wuyan . This man was very like the way he dressed . He preferred being in the dark . Master Hou knew it, so he asked Wuya to establish the Black Crow Army .

Xiao Bing knew that his goal was achieved when no one dared to object him anymore . He spoke placidly, “I was also shocked when Master Hou passed this title to me before he died . After all, I was only his partner . In terms of seniority, every one of you does have a better claim, because all of you helped Master Hou conquer this world . ”

The Paint-face turned silent with his head down . He still held some hostility towards Xiao Bing . After all, Ye Xinyi lost to Xiao Bing . But he did not hate Xiao Bing for that . Though he was obsessed with Ye Xinyi’s beauty, he knew that Ye Xinyi was just taking advantage of him . There was no love between them . He was upset when he heard about the woman’s death . Yet he knew that if this woman was still alive, she would manipulate him to do things he could not even imagine . So it was just hostility and not hate that he felt towards Xiao Bing .

As for the others, they just felt reluctant to have an outsider as their leader . They didn’t have any feud with Xiao Bing . So after what Xiao Bing said, the expressions on their faces turned softer .

Xiao Bing continued, “However since Master Hou granted me such power, I will not flinch . It’s not only your war, but it’s also my war . We must destroy the Long Family!”

As he had expected, the present ones all saw Lord Long as their enemy . Mu Tingchuan discerned it and thought inwardly, “Master Hou did have eyes that could recognize heroes . Xiao Bing intimidated these people with a firm attitude first because he knew he could not win their respect by asking nicely . These blood-thirsty killers will only bend their knees for someone stronger than them . So Xiao Bing showed his unparalleled might first while giving them some space to think . ”

Then Xiao Bing tried to soften his relationship with them, to let them know that it was Master Hou who asked him to be their leader . And since he promised Master Hou, he would not fail this dead man .

When these people started to understand him, Xiao Bing mentioned that the Long family was their common enemy at the moment . This was to divert their hostility towards the Long family . It would be easier for people to get along with each other when they had a common enemy .

Although it seemed very simple, it could hardly occur to normal people . In this matter, Xiao Bing was not inferior to Master Hou, who was a master at psychology .





After he incited their hatred towards the Long family, Xiao Bing continued, “Master Hou is dead because of Lord Long’s schemes . You all have been following him for a long time . I assume that your eagerness to avenge him is no less than mine . In the Song Dynasty, when heroes intended to join the rebellion, they needed to show proof of allegiance . And my proof will be Lord Long’s head . ”


“If I can’t bring you his head within half a month, then you can choose someone else to sit on this chair in my stead!”

They all looked at him in astonishment . Lord Long had always been on the winning side . Even if Master Hou was still alive, the chance of defeating him was extremely small . After all, this was one province versus two provinces .

Besides, he said that the deed would be done within half a month!

Half a month! It was not merely a promise Xiao Bing made to these people . It was also a deadline Xiao Bing set for himself . After the devil was dead, sooner or later the followers of Buddhism would come for him . Half a month was too long!

Mu Tingchuan said in great disbelief, “Xiao Bing, you don’t have to make such a rash promise . We all understand . It’s Master Hou’s last wish . No one will disobey him . ”

Mu Tingchuan could not understand why Xiao Bing made such a crazy promise . To destroy the Long family within a month? He thought it was hard enough for them to protect themselves . Their chances of defeating the Long family were no more than 30 percent . Yet Xiao Bing just promised them that he would bring them Lord Long’s head within a fortnight .

He’s insane!





But Xiao Bing repeated gravely, “Half a month is enough . ”

Xiao Bing slowly rose to his feet . He cast a sweeping glance at them and bellowed, “But during this half month, you will all need to obey every order I give you and get it done precisely . If I fail to bring you his head in 15 days, I’ll leave this place . Do you agree?”

They all thought Xiao Bing was a lunatic . But somehow, they admired his boldness . They all stood up . King-kong spoke first, “We won’t let you die . But if you can avenge Master Hou, I’ll do anything you say . ”

The Snake Lord smiled, “I’m very curious as to where Mr . Xiao’s confidence comes from . However, no problem with me . ”

Paint-face merely said, “I agree . ”

Xiao Bing looked at Wuyan, who then said in a hoarse voice, “I have no problem with that either . ”

“Alright . Give me all your numbers . I might assign you a mission at any time . The meeting is adjourned . ”

After they took their leave, only Mu Tingchuan and Xiao Bing were left in the hall . Xiao Bing glanced at him and smiled, “Mr . Tingchuan, why don’t you go back and have some rest？Do you intend to have some drinks with me?”





“I don’t drink now . I merely want to know why are so confident . Lord Long may have some setbacks before, but their foundation was not shaken . At present, we’re still outnumbered . If we make it an attrition warfare using some tactics, we might defeat them in two or three years . And that’s just a 30 percent chance we have . So I wonder how you’re going to kill lord Long within a month?”

Xiao Bing smiled faintly, “It’s simple . I will kill him with my power . ”

Xiao Bing answered with ease . His confidence was unusual, which made Mu Tinchuan even more uncertain . Lord Long was known as the strongest martial artist in the underground world in the south . How was Xiao Bing going to defeat him?

But he knew that more words could not change Xiao Bing’s decision . As a leader, the most important thing was being true to his word . Of course, there would be times when a leader breaks his promise, but he must never break his first promise .

Mu Tingchuan shook his head and sighed, “Whatever it is, just prepare yourself well . If you need anything, just tell me . I’ll do my best to serve you . ”

“Of course . I need you to advise me . ” Xiao Bing grabbed him by the arm and grinned, “Let’s go to a restaurant . We can talk while enjoying the food . ”

“I don’t drink . ”

“I think a little is okay… Tell me about the situation of the other two provinces . No need to talk about the province where the Long family started, though . I suppose there are still many who harbor hostility towards the Long family, who just conquered their homeland . There’s a lot for us to figure out…”

Mu Tingchuan was indeed a qualified adviser . He told Xiao Bing many things that were unknown to Xiao Bing before . Mu Tingchuan knew a great deal about the Long family and Xiao Bing exchanged information he acquired from the Poisonous Fox with Mu Tingchuan . Then they started discussing plans for the days to come .

After they had a few drinks, Xiao Bing immediately called Wuya and the others and gave them a list of tasks . Mu Tingchuan was more impressed by Xiao Bing now . He deemed Xiao Bing an effective man who took things seriously .

After the calls were made, Xiao Bing looked at Mu Tingchuan and said, “See, it’s simple . Outwardly, the Long family seems to hold power over two provinces . But one of them isn’t totally loyal to him . It will only take several tactics to turn them against the Long family . ”

Mu Tingchuan said, “Actually I’ve discussed them with Master Hou . That’s what we planned to do next too . But I don’t think it’s enough . Lord Long has many top masters and he himself is the best of them .

Grinning, Xiao Bing said, “I will take care of Lord Long… Mr . Miyamoto and Gao Fei, one of my men, are all great masters . The Black Crow Army will be responsible for the backbone of the Long family, while Gao Fei and Mr . Miyamoto will take care of their top masters . This final war will decide our destiny!”

Mu Tingchuan smiled bitterly, “If Master Hou were still here, he would never do things without thinking about it . He would still use schemes to nibble away his enemy’s strength . He would never make a decision without being very sure of it . Looks like we are all old men now . Mr . Xiao does have the courage to seek fortune in a lion’s den . I can only pray for our success now . ”

“Yes . ” Xiao Bing smiled, “If we win in 15 days, we will be king of the underground world in the north . But if we lose, most of us will die . We will know our fate during this fortnight!”

Though he still felt that their chances of winning were small, Mu Tingchuan felt his adrenalin pumping . He picked up his glass and drained it .

Mu Tingchuan had not drunk for a long time, yet today it looks like many bottles will be emptied .
