Chapter 1154 We Are Clear

The Ifrit docked in Rotterdam, and Xiao Peng and his crew began to disembark. Hahn kept his eyes on Xiao Peng and the others, and sure enough, he saw Ka Xin and the others carrying some strange boxes.

Hahn frowned slightly as he watched Xiao Peng and the others carrying the boxes head in the direction they were heading. This wasn't the way out of the harbor, but rather the direction to the other side of the harbor, where the Luna and Calypso were anchored. What if Xiao Peng went aboard those two ships and continued out to sea? He'd be completely helpless!

He lifted the corner of his clothes and whispered, "Stop him!"

At this moment, something unexpected happened on Xiao Peng's side: Kasim, who was directing the moving of boxes, suddenly became furious and rushed out of the crowd. Xiao Peng was also surprised by this change. What was wrong with him?

"How dare you show up!" Kasim grabbed a man from the crowd and threw him in front of Xiao Peng. "Boss! Look who this is!"

Xiao Peng was stunned. Who was this? The man was facing the ground, so he couldn't see his face clearly. But judging by his messy hair and dirty clothes, he looked like someone who had fallen on hard times.

Kasim grabbed the man's hair and let Xiao Peng see his face clearly. Xiao Peng frowned after seeing it clearly: "Bruch?"

The person who came was his former bodyguard Bruch.

Back then, Bruch and Deborah ran away with the money, leaving Walter and the others in a very embarrassing situation. I heard that Bruch was tricked by Deborah again, and now it seems that what she said is true.

"Hmm?" Xiao Peng waved at Kasin after seeing that it was Bruch. Kasin snorted coldly and let go of his hand, saying, "How dare you show up in front of us?"

Bruch lowered his head and said nothing.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment, took out two cigarettes from his pocket, lit them, then squatted in front of Bruch and handed him one.

Bruch was stunned when he saw the cigarette, then took the cigarette from Xiao Peng with a grateful look on his face, struggled to get up and sit in front of Xiao Peng, but still did not look up at Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Bruch, I haven't forgiven you."

Bruch was about to smoke, but when he heard Xiao Peng's words, he paused, then slowly nodded, and then slowly put the cigarette in his mouth and took a puff.

Xiao Peng continued, "But people are strange. Before I saw you, I thought I'd beat you up. I think I've treated you well, so how could you do this to me? It's fine if you do this to me, but how could you do this to Walter and the others? Walter is your old comrade and friend, and Kassin and Khedira even knew each other when you were mercenaries. How could you do this?"

Bruch lowered his head and said nothing. Kasim was so angry that he raised his foot to kick him, but his big foot did not land on Bruch - Xiao Peng directly reached out and grabbed his shoes.

Seeing this, Kaxin quickly pulled his foot back. Xiao Peng wiped his hand on Kaxin's trouser leg and pointed to the side: "Go to the side! Stay away!"

Kasim walked aside angrily.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Bruch, look at Kasin, then look at you. You used to be about the same, but what about now? You really messed up a good hand."

Bruch finally spoke, whispering, "Boss, I know."

"But you are an adult and should be responsible for your actions." Xiao Peng said, "They say everyone has their own aspirations. If you want to pursue a better career, I will definitely not stop you. The one you really can't face is not me, but your other brothers. I shouldn't have stopped Ka Xin today. If I were Ka Xin, I would want to kill you right now!"

In fact, apart from Walter, Kasin and Bruch have the best relationship because they worked as mercenaries together in the Middle East.

Xiao Peng was very curious about mercenaries. What young man wasn't fascinated by them? Almost every man in Daxia dreamed of becoming a "King of Soldiers." Just look at the online ads for "The God of War Returns, Finds His Daughter Sleeping in a Doghouse, 100,000 Demobilized Daxia Soldiers Return in a Furious Return..." So, he'd specifically asked Kaxin about being a mercenary, figuring his skills would allow him to experience the life.

As a result, Kasim dealt him a heavy blow.

Actually, Kasim put it quite tactfully—"You? No!"

In fact, it's not just Xiao Peng. In the entire world mercenary market, the Daxia people have no advantage. To be more precise, if anyone is willing to hire yellow people as mercenaries, they are basically "stupid and rich".

First of all, where do mercenaries operate? They're all in war-torn areas!

In the 1990s, there were Yugoslavia and Chechnya; including Central Africa and the Middle East. The military personnel who dealt with these places were mainly from Western countries. The first thing they required was communication.

The communication here does not only include daily conversations, but also requires proficiency in many military-specific vocabulary and tactical slang, otherwise misunderstandings are likely to occur.

Moreover, mercenaries have very high requirements for individual combat capabilities. They really need to face life and death! Becoming a mercenary without any military service experience and actual combat experience? Not only the employer, but even teammates will not be at ease!

In addition, the oriental faces of the Daxia people are too conspicuous in the areas where mercenaries are currently active, and they may get into trouble because of their faces!

The mercenaries in the world today are basically composed of retired veterans from the Western armies, just like Kasim who comes from the "Eastern Battalion". When they go to be mercenaries, any one of them is a veteran with ten years of experience!

According to public data and analysis, apart from the hundreds of Chinese working for legal security companies (mainly responsible for security work for companies in Africa), the number of Daxia mercenaries in the world has remained very stable - exactly zero!

Basically, the domestic mercenaries that appear in domestic film and television works are fictitious, just like the plot in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier" where a mercenary with a criminal record opened a military goods store. This is totally unrealistic: if there really is a Daxia person who is a former mercenary, the first thing he would do after returning to his country is to be held criminally responsible.

But no matter what, Kasim and Bruch were actually brothers who had fought together on the battlefield. The fact that Bruch had betrayed them had always been a huge psychological trauma for Kasim! He really wanted to kill Bruch.

Xiao Peng threw the cigarette butt aside and stood up. He crushed it with his foot, then took out a checkbook and pen from his pocket, scribbled a few words, tore off a check, put it in Bruch's hand, and patted him on the shoulder twice. "Bruch, I've always been like this. If you respect me, I'll respect you. Even though you've betrayed many people, I'll always remember that when we were in Daxia, you followed my orders and kicked that Wei's leg without hesitation. Just for that reason, I can't bear to see you in such a miserable state now. Here's 100,000 euros. You can use it to get drunk, find girls, or whatever. It's up to you! Now we're even!"
