A few minutes later, a sedan approached from the opposite direction. A smartly dressed assistant got out of the car. Coincidentally, Lu Heng recognized this person; he had seen him once before. This was Lawrence Phoenix’s assistant, named Joyce. Joyce walked respectfully up to Lu Heng and greeted, "Mr. Lu Heng, hello. My name is Joyce, assistant to Mr. Lawrence Phoenix." Because of this person’s respectful attitude, even addressing with honorifics, he’s been doing just fine. The source of this content ɪs N()velFire.net Lu Heng asked suspiciously, "What’s the matter?" Joyce raised his hand towards the direction of the limousine, gesturing a polite invitation, "Mr. Lawrence Phoenix would like to have a word with you and hopes you can spare a little time." Lu Heng could roughly guess what Lawrence Phoenix wanted to discuss. Because the Levi Mercenary Organization is jointly controlled by the Berg Family, the Phoenix Family, and the Jacob family. In other words, Lu Heng’s next target has shares belonging to the Phoenix Family. Lu Heng also wanted to find out what Lawrence Phoenix wanted to say, so after a few words with Eric, he followed Joyce into the limousine. The car was just as before, with luxurious leather sofas and a laptop on the coffee table in front. Joyce respectfully opened the laptop. Once the screen lit up, it showed Lawrence Phoenix’s image. Just like before, Lawrence Phoenix sat in a study, the bookshelf behind him held the same collection of books. From ’Das Kapital’ to ’One Hundred Years of Solitude,’ from ’Space Migration’ to the ’Dutch Epic,’ but the copy of ’Tao Te Ching’ was missing. The spot where ’Tao Te Ching’ originally was, was empty. It’s not unusual for a book to be missing from the shelf; someone might have taken it to read. After a few glances, Lu Heng asked, "What do you want to say? Go ahead." Lawrence Phoenix interlocked his fingers, organizing his thoughts before diving straight to the point, "If I’m not mistaken, your next target should be the Levi Mercenary Base." Lu Heng did not deny, "Yes, so are you planning to delay to give the Levi Mercenary Group some time to prepare?" Lawrence Phoenix shook his head and smiled, "There’s no need; even if the Levi Mercenary Group prepared for a year, they wouldn’t be a match for you." Lu Heng grew more curious, "Then what are you trying to say?" Lawrence Phoenix was silent for a moment before saying, "I have a share of the investment in the Levi Mercenary Group, so from my perspective, I certainly don’t want this mercenary group wiped out." Lu Heng watched him with interest, tapping his finger lightly on the coffee table to remind about the time, "Final minute." He was already willing to pause his actions to talk, which was enough courtesy. If the discussion doesn’t yield satisfying results, there’s no need to waste time. Lawrence Phoenix continued, "I can issue orders for the Levi Mercenaries not to resist and to accept all your conditions, including Spiritual Torture. "The only term of exchange is that you do not kill them after your interrogation. "Of course, if they don’t obey my orders and resist, feel free to eliminate them. "Does this exchange work for you? I greatly admire your country’s culture, there’s a saying ’兵不血刃’, I hope you’ll consider my suggestion." Lu Heng was surprised to hear a Chinese saying from the other party’s mouth, pronounced quite accurately. It must be said, Lawrence Phoenix’s negotiation was quite successful. Achieving the goal without bloodshed would be ideal. After all, saving effort is crucial since there are more important targets to deal with later. Lu Heng agreed to his conditions, as for how to deal with the Levi Mercenaries afterward, it would depend on the situation. Stepping out of the car, Lu Heng continued leading the team forward. Half an hour later, they arrived at the Levi Mercenary Base. Just at the entrance, a Mercenary Captain came forward to communicate, stating that they had received instructions from higher-ups and were willing to cooperate with the investigation and interrogation. Ordinary interrogation would certainly not suffice. The real secrets couldn’t be gotten from mere words; only the Spiritual Torture Skill would work. Thus, Lu Heng waved and said, "Same as before, spiritual torture, then compile the useful information to see if we can find Will Berg’s hiding place." The Elf Arcanist immediately stepped up, using Spiritual Magic to interrogate the Levi Mercenaries. Since this group of Levi Mercenaries didn’t resist, the Spiritual Torture process went smoothly. Indeed, they obtained some useful information, asking about two locations of Will Berg’s private estates, but whether it was indeed his current hiding spot was unknown. After the interrogation, the Elf Arcanist turned back to ask, "How do we handle these people?" Lu Heng had previously reached a deal with Lawrence Phoenix, only then achieving the desired information without bloodshed. However, whether to let this group of mercenaries go is another matter. Lu Heng coldly stated, "Those transformed into Bloodlines, kill them. Those who’ve committed rape, harmed children, kill them. Those who resisted, kill them. Let the others go." With the order given, a flash of blades fell down. More than half of the Levi Mercenaries were killed. The remaining mercenaries showed panic and questioned loudly, "Our orders were that cooperation would ensure survival!" Lu Heng corrected, "Cooperation indeed meant survival, but that was the first round. I’ve been clear on the reasons for execution in the second round, transformed Bloodlines, rapists, child abusers, and resistors, die."
