To be honest, Li Boyong's first reaction after hearing about this mission was that he was quite resistant to the crime of kidnapping a young girl.
The second reaction was whether he could take the opportunity of performing the mission to protect this girl who was about to suffer a tragic fate.
The third reaction was that she was targeted by Amalgam, and the organization would not let her go so easily without thoroughly investigating whether the girl was a Whisperer. And he is only an execution force, not a scientific research facility responsible for investigation, so the chance of success in concealing the truth is very low.
Although he was indeed interested in obtaining the assistance of a Whisperer, the risk of shielding this unknown girl was too high.
"Hey, are you going too far? I'm not interested in this kind of street gangster thing!"
Li Boyong pretended to be suppressing his anger and refused Leonard's task, "You can just find some loser to do this kind of task."
According to the Whisperer, he has another, safer, less noticeable target.
That is Nami who appeared in the plot of the third season of All Gold. If you want to conquer her, it will be much easier than protecting Mira from Amalgam.
Therefore, since he has set his target on Nami, Li Boyong decided not to get involved in matters related to the Whisperer for the time being, so as to minimize his suspicion.
If he couldn't save the girl, why would he go out of his way to find it unpleasant? It was not his interest to watch a young girl suffer inhuman treatment.
"Sorry, I was rude." Leonard seemed a little surprised by Li Boyong's reaction, and apologized without sincerity, "After all, I am a young girl of the same age as your eldest lady, so it is no wonder that you are so resistant."
Such an apology can be considered a provocation.
"Forget it, since you're not interested, then I won't force it."
Seeing that Li Boyong did not show an expected reaction to his provocation, Leonard waved his hand in disappointment, "When the machine is ready, you can go home by yourself."
"Understood." Li Boyong handed the information in his hand back to Leonard and went to the lounge.
Sorry, girl.
Leave the task of rescuing you to your future crush.
As for Leonard's dissatisfaction, he was not very worried.
Maybe you need to wear small shoes, but it's not too serious.
After all, Leonard is just one of the CEOs, and cannot choose his own destiny in the organization.
Moreover, he himself is now a cadre. Although he was recommended by Leonard to join the organization, he is not directly under Leonard's unit.
Theoretically, Leonard had no direct command over him and could only hire Li Boyong to work like he hired the Xia sisters.
Since it is employment, if he feels that the life is not good, he can naturally turn it down.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in organizations.
Looking at Li Boyong's leaving figure, Leonard narrowed his eyes in disgust.
Forget it, this kind of country bumpkin who is full of nationalism has no idea what a Whisperer is and how important the Whisperer is to the world.
On the side, the Xia sisters quietly released their clenched hands.
For some reason, both sisters became slightly nervous when they heard Li Boyong rejecting Leonard so forcefully.
Now that everything was safe, the two sisters were relieved.
Wilhelm secretly observed the reactions of the two sisters and showed an interested smile.
It seems that the adopted daughters in Kowloon don't want to be like the rumors, they are just tools with no love.

Five days later, Li Boyong returned to the Ancra area with Phantom.
On the border, he met his subordinates who were originally arranged to meet him.
"Boss, next time you have a mission to make extra money, you can take us with you."
The subordinates belonging to the Amalgam Ancra branch complained after welcoming Li Boyong.
These guys were all selected by Li Boyong from Amalgam's mercenary army. They are more temperamental and loyal to him.
After all, those who can be attracted to him are basically the bottom-line aliens in Amalgam, and they are mostly the targets of exclusion. Therefore, after joining Li Boyong, the opposite cadre minister, his loyalty has always been good.
"Next time, this mission is quite difficult for me."
Li Boyong parked the machine body on the transport truck and climbed into the relatively comfortable truck cab.
"By the way, the machine you brought back this time looks a little different."
asked the subordinate driving next to him.
"It's not bad. It's the third generation AS after all. It still has good performance, but it's a bit ugly."
Li Boyong answered casually.
"Third generation AS?" The subordinate was quite surprised, "Can the organization even get such a thing?"
Then he complained: "You are really picky about not overdoing it. This is the third generation of AS. The organization can hand over this kind of machine to you, which is a great trust in you. But you still look like you are disgusted with the weapons." , performance is the most important thing.”
It seems that if you stay with Li Boyong for a long time, you will get into the bad habit of making complaints.
"Who told you such fallacies?" Li Boyong retorted, as if he had returned to this land again. He was in a good mood and was willing to talk more, "Being handsome is a lifetime thing. Poor performance, but It can be enhanced through modifications.”
Subordinate: "………………"
Well, you are the boss, everything you say is right.
After returning to the hinterland of the Ancra region smoothly, Li Boyong heard the phantom in the hangar of the Independence Army, and told the hangar control not to let anyone get close to the aircraft, and then called Shihe to come over quickly.
"What's wrong?" Shihe arrived at the hangar and saw Li Boyong and asked, "What happened, did you call me over in such a hurry?"
"Let me show you something nice." Li Boyong pointed at the phantom behind him and said to Shihe, "You must not guess what power this thing is driven by."
"What is it?" Shihe was confused by Li Boyong's mysterious appearance, "It can't be driven by nuclear energy, right?"
She said this casually, although she knew that Li Boyong actually snapped his fingers, "Bingou, you got the answer right."
What?
Shi and Dumbfounded, according to the technological level of this world, it is illogical enough that something like AS can appear.
But now Li Boyong pointed to an AS and told her that there was a nuclear-powered AS.
this……
You must know that AS currently equipped on a large scale is generally driven by turbine internal pressure power.
As a result, it suddenly evolved from turbine internal pressure to nuclear energy. Your technology line is not a tree stump or a mesh, but a checker, right?
"It's true. You'll know after you check the body later." Li Boyong walked up to Shihe and asked seriously: "If nuclear energy is available, can that thing be built?"
That thing?
After a moment, Shihe realized that Li Boyong was referring to the beam weapon.
"There are still many technical difficulties to overcome. After all, a mature weapon needs the support of all aspects of mature military technology." Shihe replied while thinking: "Although the possibility is not zero, even with my theory Knowledge, if you want to produce initial results, it also requires a large economic country to spend several years of heavy investment before the results are possible."
Li Boyong's heart dropped when he heard Shihe's answer.
But it’s right to think about it. This world originally only had the technological level of the 20th century. It was the black technology possessed by the Whisperers that allowed humanoid mobile weapons like AS to appear on the battlefield.
It can be said that many technologies directly skip the pre-steps and directly produce the product.
This unsound technology tree does have many obstacles in research.
