Chapter 59

  We cleared up the misunderstanding with them in the past, and try not to make enemies. Zhao Zhenghao said. The team members nodded and set off towards that side. The girl leaned against her lifesaver and said: You are the first to rescue a woman who was flogged in Basela. You are also the first to save her from being caught. And you are even more the first to let her escape successfully. Chinese people are really something else. Shao Hui listened to this conversation, which seemed to have some teasing tone, and asked somewhat discontentedly: What's your name? My name is Tina. Do you want to get to know me? The girl's boldness made Shao Hui blush for a moment: I was asking what your Basela name is. None. I don't like the culture and environment of this country. I've been living with my German grandmother since I was eight years old, and I rarely come back. The culture here is very oppressive to women. Tina replied straightforwardly. At this point, the team members were about to reach the front of the crowd. Tina whispered: Don't be afraid, they are people from other tribes. But my dad is a warlord here. No matter how powerful their forces are, they wouldn't dare to provoke my dad. As long as he comes, everything can be solved.

  We've never been afraid of anything. Shao Hui said with a cold smile. Tina looked at Shao Hui in surprise, and for once, the quick-witted her was speechless.

  It seems that Tina's father knows the other party. The two groups are negotiating in a lukewarm manner. Tina listens with her ears perked up and translates for the team members: They say they hope my dad won't interfere with this matter. They have to take you guys to see the elder because you hurt their people without reason. More importantly, you are Ghost Warriors who killed their loved ones in the past, making them suffer... The girl suddenly looks at Shao Hui while translating: You guys are the legendary Ghost Warrior Unit.

  Ghost Warrior Unit. Shao Hui was stunned. What Ghost Warrior Unit... Wait a minute. You ask them if they're referring to the Ghost Shadow Mercenaries. He suddenly remembered that when he mentioned Ghost Shadow to local security personnel before, they said it was also okay to call them that. It seems their true codename is indeed Ghost Warrior.

  Tina rushed to the crowd and said a sentence, then turned to Shao Hui and said: They asked you to release the elder's son first, and they will answer the question. Zhao Zhenghao only then remembered that he was still holding the other party's hostage. He slowly loosened his arm. The other party looked up and down at Zhao Zhenghao with a heroic air and walked back to their own side.

  They say it's you. It was your Ghost Unit that destroyed their home. Are you or aren't you? Tina asked.

  We are Chinese special forces. Tell them that the Ghost Squad will no longer attack them. Because we exchanged fire with them some time ago, the Ghost Squad no longer exists in this world. Shao Hui said to the crowd.

  Ah... you guys... one, two, three, four, five... Tina counted the number of people with her hands. After finishing, she said in surprise: "You eight people can actually defeat the Ghost Warriors! When I was in Germany, my dad told me that they were brutally violent like ghosts, making everyone tremble with fear. You eight can defeat them."

  At that time there were eleven of them. After the fight, they became eight. Shao Hui said calmly.

  Oh, sorry. Tina sticks out her tongue. Translate Shao Hui's words over there. The news exploded like a thunderbolt in the crowd. The other side immediately boiled over with discussion, revealing an expression of disbelief. In fact, it wasn't necessary for Tina to translate in between. Most people here speak English. Shao Hui stood behind and said loudly: We are just like you. We have also experienced life-and-death separations caused by the Ghost Squad. The difference is that we went through a fierce battle and lost three good brothers before annihilating them. With the remaining strength, we stepped on the mountain slope where blood flowed like rivers, carrying our brothers' bodies, step by step, to get here. We don't want to be enemies with anyone. We won't take the initiative to be enemies with anyone. Wherever a Chinese person goes in the world, they are always upright and honest. His brother... Shao Hui pulled over Yin Mo, who was shot in the chest by the Ghost Squad's bullets before his death. And his brother, who was burned by the rocket's afterburner, had his leg broken by their bullets. Another brother was killed by random gunfire. Their ashes are still in a safe deposit box now. If you still think we are mercenaries hired by the Ghost Squad, please follow me to see that safe deposit box. Follow us on a trip and see if I am lying or not.

  Clap, clap... Tina led the applause. Mercenaries wouldn't risk their lives to save a stranger if there was no benefit in it. That alone proves they're not mercenaries. Alright, that question is settled. So, about these injuries on my face... how do we settle this?

  It's clear that she wanted to take it out on those few people who hit her. The translator carefully told her: At the time, your clothes were too revealing. Those few were just punishing according to regulations...

  It's just punishment. Tina sneered. If it weren't for this person saving me, I would have been raped by them long ago.

  In Basala's faith, treason and apostasy were the most heinous crimes. Next in line were rape, intermarriage with outsiders, and theft. Robbery was not considered a serious offense. A common scenario would be a vegetable farmer losing an onion. Passersby would either ignore it or pick it up to return to the farmer or exchange for money. If they took it home for themselves, that would be considered theft, punishable by cutting off both hands. One level up from this crime was rape. Once convicted of this crime, the perpetrator would lose more than just their hands. So when Tina uttered the words "rape", the awakened perpetrator's eyes widened in terror, and he stood frozen, unable to speak, regretting why he had messed with such a woman.

  Here is the translation:

  The team members didn't want to intervene anymore. The sky was already getting late. Shao Hui bid farewell to Tina and turned around to leave. Tina chased after him and asked: "I still don't know what your name is." Shao Hui awkwardly took off his hat and touched his hair: "My name is Shao Hui. Nice to meet you, Tina." He suddenly felt a strange gaze watching him from the surroundings. Without turning around, he pointed in that direction: "He's Liu Junhao, my good brother." The strange gaze immediately disappeared. Can you tell me your address and phone number? Tina asked. Shao Hui shook his head: "Forget it. I don't have a mobile phone either. If we're fated to meet again, we'll see each other in the future." He was mainly afraid of causing trouble, and he vaguely felt that Tina was very pure but also prone to getting into trouble in Basela. For the sake of his mission and personal safety, it was better not to meet again in the future. Of course, Shao Hui wouldn't directly tell her this, so he politely declined.

  What you said is right. As long as we meet again, it means that there is a fate between us. Let's wait and see. Tina said to Shao Hui with a raised fist.

  Shao Hui smiled wryly and agreed, quickly walking into the van with the shattered rear window glass. The car roared to life again, taking the team members away from the scene of the incident. Along the way, everyone stopped joking around and instead discussed how to cover up the incident to Su Yue Song. Everything was easy to explain, but the key was how to explain the shattered rear window glass and the bullet hole on the seat. The team launched into a heated discussion about this issue. Shao Hui suddenly asked: Old Zhao, what did you say to that translator earlier? How come he became so obedient after hearing it? Zhao Zonghao chuckled: Actually, there's nothing much to it. I just made a bet and won. Even if they personally aren't afraid of death, they still have to care about their families, right? At the time, I told him: You'd better pray that we're not mercenaries. If we really are, then you'd better be careful tonight. My teammates will kill all your family members in front of you. And as for the leader, even your entire tribe... if anything happens to us here, you'll face retaliation tonight. Especially you. Then he became very obedient and ordered his men to clear the road. Pausing for a moment, actually this principle is very simple. People don't just live for themselves; as long as you threaten what they hold most precious, there's nothing they won't agree to. Even if it means risking everything, they'll still do it. Human nature is selfish.
