Chapter 3525: The Gap
Champagne, beauties in sexy bikinis, and various entertainment activities for the rich.
As long as you have money and status, you will have it here. This is the real life of luxury.
Drake's private estate is so luxurious that it is outrageous, especially because Drake likes swimming, so he asked the workers here to build an artificial lake.
In this country, it can be said that water is more precious than oil. Drake occupies a desert oasis and lives a paradise-like life.
Xu Qiang saw that most people were taking cocaine. Of course, drug use is legal here. No one will control you, and drugs have become goods like cigarettes, which can be seen everywhere.
"Is this the life of the rich?"
"It's just a luxurious coat. Take off this coat and these people are nothing."
Duan Zhisheng saw through the world, so at the last moment of life and death, he chose to put down those things outside of his body. Only in this way can he find his true nature.
Xu Qiang and him sat alone in a corner, drinking tea to pass the time. The earlier the banquet ended, the earlier he could go back.
The sun gradually sank as the sun set in the west. Night was coming, and the entertainment outside moved indoors.
Here, all the entertainment you can think of are available, including the beauties wearing sexy bikinis.
If the guests have any needs, they can take them away and find a suitable room to release the most basic human instincts. Among the beauties on the scene, no one will refuse the needs of the guests.
There was a gaze in the room, always staying on Xu Qiang and Duan Zhisheng, looking for an opportunity to make a move.
But this is Drake's territory. If he makes a move, it is equivalent to breaking the rules here. He doesn't want to go against Drake.
It's a pity that if such a good opportunity is missed, it is really unwilling. Freeman is thinking hard about how to find an opportunity to deal with Xu Qiang.
"General, I know you have resentment towards this Xu Qiang, but on this occasion today, you can't do anything to him."
The deputy reminded Freeman, he was worried that the general would be impulsive and forget the rules set here.
Freeman poured all the brandy in the glass into his mouth in one breath and sighed deeply.
"I know it in my heart without you saying it, but this kid got a bargain. After the banquet, keep a close eye on him. I want to see where he can run this time!"
"General!"
The deputy shouted, his Adam's apple slid as if he had something to say, but he didn't say it, and the words stopped at his lips.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Freiman said. After the deputy was silent for a moment, he felt it necessary to stand up and say something, for Xu Qiang and for the future of the mercenaries.
For some reason, after the last battle, the general became a different person, so concerned about success and failure.
The last failure was an exception, and the lesson would not be repeated in the future, but the general was biting Xu Qiang and others tightly, and wanted to find a chance for revenge.
If Xu Qiang hadn't let them go last time, the deputy and more than 30 others would have become dead. For this, the deputy had to thank Xu Qiang for not killing them.
"General, I think we don't need to keep fighting with the Chinese mercenaries. If we continue like this, it will be bad for both of us."
"What do you mean?"
"If it wasn't for Xu Qiang who let us go last time, we would have died long ago. From this point of view, we still owe them a favor."
The deputy reminded Freeman that although there are no friends on the battlefield, deep in his heart, he didn't want to regard Xu Qiang as his enemy.
Freeman stared at his deputy. No wonder he urged his deputy to investigate the movements of Xu Qiang and others a few days ago, but the deputy did not take any action.
It turned out that this deputy thought so in his heart. He regarded Xu Qiang and others as his saviors. He wanted to listen to what Perod had to say.
"Go on."
The deputy saw that Freeman was unhappy and knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue and he couldn't take them back. He could only bite the bullet and say all his thoughts.
"General, we don't need to focus on this newcomer. On the contrary, I think Xu Qiang is a good person. If possible, I hope to develop an alliance with Xu Qiang."
"Haha!"
Freiman sneered. He didn't care who said this. As long as it didn't conform to his wishes, Freiman would not give face to anyone.
"Perod, do you think I'm repaying kindness with enmity?"
"I don't mean that."
"Before, you have always been in the same mind with me. You never asked what I told you to do."
He thought that his deputy's heart had changed and he was no longer in the same mind with Freiman. He actually kept his own opinions on this matter.
This deputy has followed Freiman for many years. Since the establishment of Freiman's Flame Mercenary Group, he has been working beside Freiman.
Now Freiman is doubting his intentions, which makes Perod very sad. From this time on, there is a gap between the two.
The deputy's kind words turned out to be harsh advice. He never thought that the general, whom Perold had once followed so loyally, would become like this.
"Perod, I ordered you to hunt down Xu Qiang, but you refused to accept my order because of other things. Is it related to Xu Qiang?"
"Yes!"
Perod never lies. He knows that Freeman will be angry, but he still tells the truth.
"I don't know how to position Xu Qiang in the general's heart, but he spared me once, and I owe him a life."
"Just admit it truthfully. When you said this, did you think of the consequences?"
"I know the consequences and I will bear them, but I still want to say that you are wrong, you are really wrong."
These two sentences emphasize one thing. Perod hopes that the general can wake up at this moment and not do such useless things for a little hatred in his heart.
In the world of mercenary battlefields, the situation changes rapidly. If you don't keep moving forward, but care about personal gains and losses, you will be surpassed by others sooner or later.
"It's not your turn to blame me for what I do and what I decide. Let's discuss this after I go back. Xu Qiang and I already have a grudge, and this hatred can't be easily resolved."
Freiman seems to be a face-conscious person. Since the day his Flame Mercenary Group was defeated, this incident has become a nightmare in Freiman's heart, and it has been reluctant to dissipate.
Whenever there is a chance, he will think about how to settle accounts with Xu Qiang. Now Xu Qiang's strength is like an ant in his eyes, not worth mentioning at all.
