Remonin was merely being careful with his suspicion .
For the last two days, Remonin had been trying all sorts of methods to analyze the situation more deeply . It started with his investigation on the spy . He had interrogated the spy and he had proved that Li Du's words were true . After that, he trusted Li Du wholeheartedly .
The two army camps were only ten to twenty kilometers apart . With the helicopters and pickups, the army would cross the borders in thirty minutes or less . Li Du had to manage the time well for the plan unfold successfully .
In reality, for this battle, Li Du's side was faced with more obstacles than Remonin's side .
Having invested all his sleeping pills, anesthetic, and poison, Li Du brought Godzilla and Brother Wolf with him to speak to Good's guard . He waved his hand to catch the guard's attention . "I want to have a word with Commander Good . I have something important to tell him . "
The guard glanced at him . "Now? Get lost . If you have anything to say, say it tomorrow . "
As Good began to treat him with hostility, the guards had also changed their tone . The guards no longer respected him and would scold him from time to time .
Li Du grinned . "It's a problem that has implications of up to millions of US dollars . If problems arise tonight, are you sure that Commander Good would not do anything to you?"
Once Good's name was mentioned, the guard became afraid . A furious, cruel, emotionally-unstable and unpredictable Good was a nightmare for all the guards .
"Then, follow me," the guard said hesitantly, "but leave your two companions behind . "
Li Du said, "They have to accompany me . This matter is related to them . You can go and report to Commander Good, let him make the final decision . "
Li Du not only brought Godzilla and Brother Wolf, but Little Flathead was with him as well .
For the past few days, Li Du had been feeding the little animal and they had developed a rapport . It no longer minded Li Du's caressing .
However, it reacted differently with Brother Wolf and Godzilla, or anyone else for that matter . Little Flathead would reject the touch of everyone else and in return poke that person fearlessly .
Ever since he had adopted Little Flathead, Li Du would bring it wherever he went . Good had forbidden him from doing that but Li Du did not care and continued to keep it by his side at all times .
Li Du's explanation to Good was that Good had hurt Little Flathead and so the animal felt insecure in the camp's vicinity .
In actual fact, Li Du wanted Good and his soldiers to develop the mindset that even if Li Du brought Little Flathead around, there would not be problems . That mindset would help with Li Du's strategy for the big battle .
The guard reported to Good and indeed, the commander did not mind Li Du bringing his two companions with him . After all, during their meetings over the last two days, Li Du had also brought Brother Wolf and Godzilla with him .
Again, they had to go through a thorough full-body security check, then the trio was allowed to enter the commander's quarters .
By that time, the soldiers working in the quarters had already returned to their camp to rest . There were only a couple of maids left cleaning up the place .
Good was still in his office . Once he opened the door, Li Du saw that Good was looking out of his window, his back to them .
"What urgent matter did you want to tell me?" Good said blandly without turning to face Li Du .
Li Du entered the room while Brother Wolf and Godzilla stood by the office door . There were still four fully-armored guards stationed in the office .
"Aren't we business partners?" he asked with a grin . "If it's not an urgent matter I can't come and meet with you?"
Good turned his head, frowning . "Of course . Of course you can . But you should know that I do not like being disturbed by others . "
Li Du started internally timing himself . He walked over to sit at the chair opposite the office desk and said, "I've thought it through . We should work together . However, the conditions have to be amended . "
A grin spread across Good's face and he said, "You want to discuss the conditions with me? You want to negotiate with me again?"
Li Du looked at him with sincerity . "Your conditions are too harsh, Good Commander . I can give you one hundred million US dollars—no, I will offer you two hundred million US dollars as a deposit in the first step . However, I do not want to kill anyone . "
Good's eyes widened at his words . Two hundred million US dollars . Although he had diamonds that were worth many hundreds of millions, if he could not sell them, they were only stones .
Remonin was poor . Good's situation was much better than Remonin but not much better . To him, two hundred million US dollars was very attractive .
Once he regained his composure, he swallowed his saliva . "Two hundred million US dollars? Where are you going to find so much money?"
Li Du said, "I definitely can give it to you . If I give it to you, don't ask me to kill anyone, deal?"
Good smiled and said, "Two hundred million US dollars . I have belittled my business partner . Very well, you will give me two hundred million US dollars . But for the humans, you will have to kill them—have to!
Li Du had already expected this . The old lunatic was extremely greedy . He had no intentions of working with Li Du, he only wanted to control Li Du .
If Li Du had not shown that he was unafraid of death when they first met, Good would have long ago used crueler methods to force him to do as he wished .
Li Du's face lost its color . He gritted his teeth and said, "Good Commander, that's not too nice on your part?"
Good returned to his desk and sat down with his hands crossed . Relaxed, he said, "It's for your own good, for the good of our partnership . This way, we can work even better together, isn't that right?"
Li Du turned solemn, acting like he was struggling internally .
As though speaking after a series of internal conflicts, he said, "I still have a piece of information with me . Perhaps, this piece of information can help me avoid having to kill others . However, it has to remain confidential . . . "
At this point, Li Du turned to look at the six people by the door and said, "Let your people and mine out . Shut the door—this information has to be kept a secret!"
Good was cautious . Hearing his words, he immediately became wary . "What kind of news would require such secrecy?"
Li Du said, "Trust me, this is really very important intelligence . "
Good looked at him and said slowly, "Ask your men to go out . Mine will stay, they can know whatever information it is . They will not divulge anything . "
Li Du nodded . "In that case, I will have to stand close to you to whisper it . I do not wish for a third party to hear this . "
Li Du's antics had triggered Good's displeasure . Good smiled coolly . "Hope that you are not trying anything funny . You better not trick me—otherwise, you will suffer tonight!
As he spoke, he took out a gun and slammed it onto the desk .
Li Du turned his head, snapped his fingers a couple of times and Brother Wolf and Godzilla walked out the door .
Li Du stood up, walked forward and said in a low voice, "Time Deceleration!"
"Whaaaaaat . . . " Good opened his mouth but his words slowed down tremendously .
At top speed, Li Du threw Little Flathead toward Good's face and threw himself toward his hands . He snatched the gun away .
Behind him, Brother Wolf and Godzilla got to work .
Brother Wolf was speedy . Even if time decelerated, his movements were still as fast as a normal human . At that moment, his movements remained fluid and quick .
As he walked past the row of guards, Brother Wolf threw a punch at a guard's throat and concurrently kicked the calf of another guard . Then, he turned around to face another guard opposite him . Brother Wolf grabbed the man and flipped him over his shoulder to throw him down on the ground .
Another guard was in Godzilla's hand . Like picking up a newborn chick, Godzilla lifted the guard and smashed his head against the wall violently .
The battle had started!
