Chapter 138: Three forks in the road

The boss of Black Steel International is different, at least people's attitude makes people feel very comfortable, and there is no such nouveau riche face.

As the saying goes, the king is not accidental, and the strength is extraordinary, otherwise so many retired soldiers have not succeeded, but Ogul has succeeded, and this pattern is here.

...........

In fact, Xia Feng thought about it carefully, and he didn't need to be too nervous.

Just like Ogul just said, maybe in the future they will need each other as a friend, to put it bluntly, Ogul is intuitively looking at his future potential, at least for now, he may not even be a green onion in Ogul's eyes.

Since this is the case, Xia Feng simply let go of his restraints, regardless of you Oguldo Niu X, it doesn't have much to do with him now.

Ogul wanted to chat with him like an ordinary friend, which was very good for him, and under the influence of his good friend Zhang Yuan, Xia Feng's ability to rip skin was also first-class.

Xia Feng put away his business card and began to talk casually with Ogul.

"Okay, in fact, I'm quite casual, it's really not suitable for politeness, ACE is my eldest brother, you are ACE's good brother for many years, so, in order to show kindness, I'll call you Lao Gu."

Although it was Ogul who personally asked for it, after saying this, Xia Feng also felt as if he was a little casual, and immediately added.

"Heh, I just think your name is a bit tongue-twisting, if you don't like Lao Gu, I can change it again."

Ogul was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head and let out a burst of laughter.

"Haha, Lao Gu, this is a good title, kind enough."

"Hehe, you don't mind."

Xia Feng casually looked around the room.

"Old Gu, the name of Black Steel International is too loud, hey, this bar shouldn't be your headquarters?"

"Of course not, this is just my private bar, Blacksteel's headquarters is not in Bra City, and our headquarters is very magnificent, you can visit it when you have a chance in the future."

Xia Feng asked casually, he also felt that this bar could not be the headquarters of Black Steel, according to Black Steel's financial resources, it was estimated that the real headquarters would be as spectacular as a high-end military base.

.............

Looking at the time, ACE had been gone for more than 20 minutes, and if it went well, he should have found the unconscious little fire dragon by now and was rushing back with her.

Ogul leaned back on the couch.

"You don't have to worry about your friends, with ACE's strength, it's still easy to rescue a person from those stupid military police, even if there is an accident, I will find a way to help you get your friend back."

With Ogul's words, Xia Feng was naturally relieved, according to Hermer's plan, it was impossible for Rhine's life to find out that Ifrit had escaped in a short period of time, and the military police in Bra City did not know that the little fire dragon was an experimental subject fused with the Stone of Fire Demon, for them, she was just an infected little girl who could set fire, even if ACE made a mistake, with the influence of Black Steel, it was still possible to keep a person out of the hands of the military police.

Of course, he estimated that Big Brother ACE would not make a mistake.

Speaking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but ask Ogul.

"Old Gu, I remember that the mercenary group led by Big Brother ACE before was called [Reaper], could it be that he has also joined Black Steel now?"

"No, ACE he didn't join Black Steel, except for the relationship of friends, there is no exchange of interests between us, of course, I have invited him more than once, but he has rejected it every time."

"Why did Brother ACE refuse you?"

Ogur took a deep breath of his cigar.

"I know ACE, once upon a time I was like him, I wanted to change something, but after leaving the Cadet Army, I found that the heavier the thing I want to change, the more wealth and strength I need to match."

Then Ogul smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"Through my own efforts, I have established Black Steel International from scratch in more than ten years, and I have wealth and strength that ordinary people can't reach, but after getting this, I gradually forgot what I wanted to change when I was young."

After listening to Ogul's words, Xia Feng could probably guess what he wanted to change when he was young.

Ogul didn't forget, but he didn't want to think about it again, because more than ten years later, he understood that even if he established a powerful organization like Black Steel, there were some things he still couldn't change, such as the contradictions between the infected and ordinary people, such as this world that was gradually collapsing.

It is clear that Ogur has long since abandoned the ideals of his youth, and has chosen something more practical than pursuing those naïve dreams.

But Big Brother ACE is different, although he never mentioned it, Xia Feng knew that he didn't give up, so after three years, he would choose to join Rhode Island.

...............

In fact, since meeting Ogul, Xia Feng's heart has undergone a subtle change.

At this moment, he seemed to understand what he needed to do.

Ogur is right that the heavier the thing you want to change, the more you need to have the wealth and strength to match it.

There is no doubt that the power of the black and white twins has brought him strong combat power and a very high margin for error, but this complex world will not wrestle with him head-on.

Xia Feng knows that some things can not be solved just by being able to fight, as the saying goes, the tiger can't fight the wolves, the reason why the wolves are terrifying is not because of how strong its combat effectiveness is, but because the wolves have a very rich ability to survive in the wild, and the wolves can deal with it calmly in all kinds of harsh natural environments, and the wolves with this ability can drag the enemy several times stronger than themselves to death.

It's the same with the world of Terra, if you want to be invincible in this world, your own strength is important, but in addition, connections, intelligence, power, money, and a group of comrades who are willing to live and die with you at critical moments are all indispensable things to form a wolf pack.

Obviously, Ogul did it, so Blacksteel International is a world-class security company.

Vina did it too, so the Glasgow gang is a well-known gang that resounded internationally.

Three years later, Rhode Island did the same, and as a result, it became the world's most powerful armed medical organization for the infected.

Xia Feng didn't know how to become as good as Vina and Amiya, but his ambitions didn't stop there, and that level of existence in Rhode Island was not his ultimate goal, because he knew very well that the real world of Terra was far more complex than he imagined.

............

The world is like a huge black vortex, surrounded by a lot of black fog that you can't see.

And the black fog he needed to get rid of at his next stop was the dark clouds that hung over Victoria.

Recalling the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Vina in Ursas, Xia Feng had actually noticed that Vena had already foreseen the upcoming major events in Victoria at that time, so in the alley of Chernobog, Vina, who was about to kill herself, would put down the hammer.

Vina is amassing a large enough fortune to secretly develop her own large force in response to this fateful event that is about to take place in Lentinium.

[I had a dream, that's where the sun rises.] Where I can't reach my hometown, I may never go back. 】

Xia Feng didn't want this sentence to appear on Vina's future operative profile, and from his standpoint, he would help Vina unconditionally no matter what she needed to face.

However, if he raised the angle of looking down on the world, Xia Feng didn't know what kind of things he needed to accumulate in order to finally face the mission given to him by the person in the dark.

He didn't know what it would take to rebel against the gods and rebuild the tower to heaven.

............

If Amiya and Tallulah represent the two extremes of killing and saving, then his mission undoubtedly needs to forge a third path.

Amiya can't save everyone, because someone has already been sacrificed, and the path of the king needs to be accompanied by blood, otherwise she will bury herself before her wish is granted, just like her exclusive skills.

And Tallulah can't rebuild the world in the killing, because the life regrown in the blood-infested land is just as distorted, and as long as the infected remain, the hatred will not disappear.

..........

It is now three years before the Checheng riots, and it is also the beginning of the beginning of this era, invisibly, he, Amiya, Tallulah, has stood at the fork in the road representing different destinies, and next, they have to use their own different ways to continue to write the future of this world.
