Mercenaries are King

Chapter 27 The Real Werewolf

After Mike finished speaking, his eyes widened. Although one million wasn't a lot, for a small team like the Werewolf Mercenary Group, a mission worth one million was already considered a big one.

Moreover, if he became Ibn's favorite, he would have a constant stream of missions, and in Maisan province, he would be able to do whatever he wanted.

Upon hearing Mike's words, James, Anthony, and Alex all looked over, as if the life and death of the werewolf mercenary group rested entirely on Lu Chen's decision.

Lu Chen glanced at Mike and the others, took a sip of beer, and said loudly, "Captain Mike, since I'm so important, why don't you invite me to join you?"

Mike said impatiently, "Lu Chen, I sincerely invite you to join the Werewolf Mercenary Group." He didn't pause for even a second, as if afraid Lu Chen would regret it.

"Okay, I accept the invitation." Lu Chen said loudly. He knew that from this moment on, he had become a true mercenary. No matter how strong or weak the mercenary group was, he would stay with them and share life and death.

Mike wiped away his tears with emotion, placed the bottle on the stone table, took a hat from his pocket and put it on the table, then waved to James and the others, saying, "Everyone come here."

James and his two companions strode over, all staring intently at the hat.

"Lu Chen, hold a simple joining ceremony," he said, waving to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen frowned, strode over, and stood next to Mike. He looked at the hat, which had a wolf head pattern on it, and the hat seemed somewhat familiar.

"Wait, this is Gabriel's hat," Lu Chen said with a puzzled look.

Mike nodded and said, "That's right, it's Bull's. All of our hats have a wolf head pattern. It's a special hat for our werewolf mercenary group. We don't have any extras right now, so we have to use these. Stand still."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the hat with an expression of admiration. Lu Chen took a breath. This was the first time he had ever looked at a hat so seriously, especially one that someone else had used.

Mike shouted, "Once a werewolf, always a werewolf!"

James, Anthony, and Alex shouted at the same time, "Once a werewolf, always a werewolf."

Lu Chen looked surprised. Was this the ceremony? He was a little confused.

Mike walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, from today onwards you are a true member of our Werewolf Mercenary Group. Congratulations."

James and Alex came over to offer their congratulations.

Anthony walked over, opened his arms, hugged Lu Chen tightly, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, from now on we're family."

Lu Chen couldn't help but look at James, who then came up to him, put his arm around Anthony's shoulder, and said as they walked, "Let's go over there and tell our story."

Lu Chen, McAlex, and even Adile burst into laughter.

Mike sat down next to Lu Chen, picked up the bottle, and said with a smile, "Chen, thank you."

Lu Chen doesn't know what he's feeling right now; it's very complicated. He feels like he can't leave this place anymore. He just hopes to earn more money so that his family can live a better life, and he also hopes to live a long life.

He smiled, raised his bottle, clinked it against his, and said with a laugh, "From now on, I'll be working for you, so you have to make sure we have enough to eat."

"Don't worry, as long as I have food, you'll have food too," Mike said, patting his chest.

Lu Chen smacked him on the shoulder and said loudly, "I don't want to just eat rice. I want to eat meat, drink strong liquor, and have beautiful women." He then laughed twice.

But he soon found Adile beside him and smiled at her.

"Lu Chen, I'm pretty beautiful, do you want me?" Adile winked at Lu Chen and said with a smile.

Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered and waved his hand, saying, "I'm very traditional. Let's solve your problem first."

He couldn't stand it. Were all foreign women this direct? Maybe he was out of touch, but he couldn't get over that psychological hurdle. Besides, he wasn't that kind of person. Once he had a relationship with a woman, she would be his life partner. He didn't want to be that casual.

Adila was sincere. When Lu Chen refused, she was a little disappointed, but then she thought that this kind of man was more interesting and exciting. The kind that is too easy to get is not cherished.

She picked up the bottle, opened the cap, took a sip from Lu Chen's bottle, and said with a smile, "Drink, drink." At some point, Lu Chen got very drunk and went to a corner to sleep soundly.

Mike and the others continued to party in the yard. As night fell, everyone grew tired and went to find a place to rest. After a long time, the basement quieted down, and Lu Chen and Adila fell into a deep sleep.

The night passed quickly, a new day dawned, the sun rose, and the rooster crowed. Even in a foreign land, it was still the same. Lu Chen opened his eyes and saw Adile lying beside him.

He looked surprised, quickly checked his body, and only after finding nothing wrong did he breathe a sigh of relief. He covered Adile with a blanket, then stood up, stretched, and strode out of the underground parking garage.

Arriving in the courtyard, Lu Chen saw Mike and the others having breakfast. He walked over, sat down next to Mike, picked up a sausage and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "Good morning."

"Good morning, Chen," Mike said with a smile.

James, Anthony, and Alex all came over to say hello.

Mike leaned closer and whispered, "Chen, we're all counting on you from now on." He then looked back at the basement.

Lu Chen naturally understood what Mike meant, which was that they had latched onto Ibn's powerful backer. However, he didn't think so. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Boss, we should become stronger. Now we have so many weapons and a village. This is our foundation."

Since he had decided to stay, he was determined to do a good job. Based on his interactions with Mike and his colleagues over the past few months, he discovered that their thinking was very different from his own. They only wanted to make money and had not thought about developing their inner strength.

Mike looked at Lu Chen, nodded, and said, "These weapons are worth a lot of money, but nobody wants them unless they're sold to Rahman or Ibn."

Lu Chen was speechless. He still didn't understand what he meant. He explained further, "We have so many weapons and money, why not recruit new people? Even if they are ordinary villagers, with training, they can gradually become warriors. All we need to do is provide them with food."

Moreover, with people here, we can build our base. Right now, the defenses here are too weak; you could say there are no defenses at all. Rahman could easily break in with a single charge. So we need to fully develop our base.
