Chapter 534 Revenge (1)
After finding out the truth, the natural thing to do is to find a way to turn the situation around and make the forces targeting the mercenary group pay the price.
Among them, the other few were easier to deal with. They could just scare them and make them bleed a little. After all, the losses brought to the mercenary group were mainly economic. Although they suppressed the mercenary group secretly, they would not completely offend the Star Mercenary Group.
A little revenge will be enough to prevent them from daring to touch the Star Mercenary Group in the future. Of course, if they have any bad thoughts after receiving a small reward from the Star Mercenary Group, that is another matter.
But the Lei family must take revenge severely.
Feng Wuya and the others now hate the Lei family to the core. They really can't stand being humiliated by others, and they must retaliate to restore their self-esteem. This is one aspect.
On the other hand, the mercenary group almost suffered heavy casualties due to the secret sabotage of the Lei family, and the direct and indirect losses were also very heavy. Now that we know who did it, it is unacceptable not to repay them equally or even double the amount, and there is no way to explain to those members who almost lost their lives.
In addition, if the Star Mercenary Group wants to gain a foothold in the main city of Tianjing and become one of the major forces in the inner city, it must establish its prestige, and using the Lei family as a stepping stone is the most appropriate choice.
However, this cannot be rushed and is not so easy to accomplish.
Liduo is indeed very powerful, and it is not impossible for her to wipe out the entire Lei family, but things cannot be done this way.
The consequence of doing so is nothing more than causing panic among the people. The benefit to the Star Mercenary Group is that there is one less hostile force secretly targeting them, but it does not have much effect on the development of the mercenary group.
Because if the outside world knew that it was done by the Star Mercenary Group, no matter whether the mercenary group had legitimate reasons for revenge or not, they would be cut off from the Beining Empire, and would have to hide in secret and be condemned by everyone. In the face of the huge national power, it is estimated that only Liduo would survive from the entire Star Mercenary Group, which is completely contrary to Liduo's goal.
Of course, Liduo could wipe out the Lei family without anyone noticing, but as mentioned above, that would be meaningless and would involve too much bloodshed.
In addition, Liduo was a little worried about the connection between the Lei family where Lei Qianjun was and this Lei family, such as the main family and the branch family, the direct line and the collateral line, etc., so she specifically asked Lei Qianjun.
However, Lei Qianjun was certain and certain that there was no relationship between his family and the Lei family, and there might even be a grudge between them.
It is said that Lei Qianjun's ancestors once competed with others for the ownership of the surname Lei. It was obviously Lei Qianjun's ancestors who first obtained official certification to establish the Lei clan. As a result, someone later applied to the official for certification of another Lei family, and relying on their large numbers, they began to exclude and suppress the clan established by Lei Qianjun's ancestors.
In the end, Lei Qianjun's ancestors were defeated and had to flee far away, settling down in the small town of Qingyan City. However, it is not known whether this Lei family is the same Lei family from the past.
In this way, Liduo felt relieved and no longer had to worry about her capable subordinates turning against her.
We can only adopt conventional methods to deal with these forces, and naturally we have to take it step by step.
We can't fight all the forces at once. How many people are there in the Star Mercenary Group now? Let's pick the easiest one to deal with from the previous ones.
Liduo decided to start with the force that sent its mercenary group to compete with the Star Mercenary Group for the mission.
Of course, it is impossible that the other side only has the mercenary group as a force, but since the other side only mobilized the mercenary group, then we can use the mercenary group as a breakthrough point.
Liduo ordered the mercenary group to pretend to accept missions, and sure enough, the good missions were always snatched away by the Star Mercenary Group first.
Liduo told everyone not to worry about those tasks that involve dealing with people, such as guarding and investigation, and just focus on the tasks accepted by the other mercenary group, such as obtaining certain resources, capturing or eliminating certain prey, and then taking away the other party's mission target before the other party, making it impossible for the other party to complete the mission.
In order to be absolutely sure, Lido followed up on these missions throughout the process. Once she used her mental power to detect, the Star Mercenary Group would always discover their mission targets before the other side. By the time the other side arrived, the mission targets had already disappeared without a trace, and there was no way they could catch any clues about the Star Mercenary Group.
In this way, several tasks in a row are not completed on time, or the tasks cannot be completed for a long time, resulting in the task cost being too high and exceeding the task benefits. Continuing will only result in continued losses and no benefits, and you can only actively declare failure.
The Star Mercenary Group will accept the mission and hand in the mission target after the other party's mission fails. It doesn't matter even if the person who issued the mission no longer releases the mission after the mission fails. The Star Mercenary Group holds the mission target, which is a good resource. The Star Mercenary Group will not lose money whether the mission is handed in or not.
Of course, it was still a loss for Liduo, after all, it took up her time for cultivation.
Fortunately, Liduo was not completely unable to practice during this process. At least Liduo absorbed the spirit particles, spirit souls and heart souls in the air all the way, so the loss was not much.
After several missions failed in succession, the other mercenary group suffered heavy losses, and naturally they realized that someone was playing tricks.
Although Liduo did not let the other party find any clues, the other party was not stupid. They quickly found out that the missions taken by the Star Mercenary Group during this period were all the missions that their own mercenary group had failed. Naturally, they understood that it was the Star Mercenary Group who did it. This was the revenge of the Star Mercenary Group. The key was that they could not find any handle on the Star Mercenary Group.
The profits of the mercenary groups under his command have decreased or even continued to lose money. Originally, several groups had tacitly suppressed the Star Mercenary Group together, and after the Star Mercenary Group surrendered, they would recruit new members based on their own abilities. As a result, the Star Mercenary Group is now targeting them for revenge, and this force is a bit overwhelmed.
Why do you only target me and not them? Why should I take the bullet for you?
Therefore, this force decisively admitted defeat, and the leader of the other mercenary group came to Lido with gifts to apologize and expressed his intention to keep out of each other's way in the future.
Liduo decided to stop while she was ahead and turned her attention to the next one. Not only did their own mercenary group disappear, but they also joined forces with allied mercenary groups to encircle and suppress the Star Mercenary Group. The situation of the third force was similar to that of the second one.
There is no way. When the Star Mercenary Group came to the main city of Tianjing, its most direct competitors were other mercenary groups. Therefore, those who wanted to recruit the Star Mercenary Group were naturally the forces related to it. It was normal to suppress them if they failed to recruit them.
Lido followed her plan and soon put the other party in a similar predicament as the Star Mercenary Group before. They themselves could not withstand the boomerang hitting them in the face, so the second and third forces had no choice but to bow their heads and apologize.
After dealing with these three forces, the Star Mercenary Group can finally accept missions normally. Although there will occasionally be trap missions issued by the Lei family, Liduo now specifically sent Lei Qianjun and Jin Feng to lead people to keep an eye on the Lei family. When they are on guard, the Star Mercenary Group will naturally not accept trap missions.
The Lei family is still continuing to annoy the Star Mercenary Group, but it doesn’t matter, it will be the Lei family’s turn next.
