The next few days were a bit busy.
First, Li Boyong accepted the Lambda drive-carrying machines from the organization, one Hell Knight and two Hell Kings.
It took a lot of time to make various adjustments. Now he has replaced the landline with a Hell Knight with a more stable Lambda drive, while the Xia sisters are responsible for driving two Hell Kings.
By the way, the rank of the successor machine is actually lower than that of the predecessor machine.
The Hell Knight was still painted with the blue and white paint of the dagger according to Li Boyong's preference. Both Shihe and Wang Liumei complained that the color was very inconsistent, but Li Boyong found this paint pleasing to the eye.
In addition to debugging the machine body, he had to accept frame-ups and teasing from Wang Liumei from time to time.
The two seemed to have fallen into an extremely mysterious and slightly ambiguous state.
It would be a bit deceptive to say that the two of them were just playing around with each other.
But to say that there is some slander would be an exaggeration.
They just maintained this state tacitly, quietly doing "framing" with some physical contact where Shihe couldn't watch.
In addition, Li Boyong was contacted by Mithril.
The envoy of Mithril was from the Ministry of Intelligence. He had great power and got in touch with Li Boyong through the conservatives of the Zhuolang Democratic Republic.
But Li Boyong couldn't trust the guys from the Intelligence Department, so he specifically requested that his old acquaintance handle the negotiations.
As a last resort, in order to successfully retrieve the nuclear bomb, Mithril could only ask Zongsuke's special response team to bring Tessa to Ankrastan for negotiation.
Ankrastan, somewhere in the Mula Gorge.
After a series of intelligence communication, operations, and bargaining.
Li Boyong finally saw his familiar face again here. Zongjie's iconic poker face really made him feel happy no matter how he looked at it.
Of course, Tessa is still as cute as ever.
"It's been a long time since we said goodbye in Tokyo, Zongsuke." Li Boyong hugged Zongsuke generously, and then started gossiping, "Did things go well with Chidori-san? Did you kiss?"
"………………"
Faced with this unexpected and familiar way of greeting, Zongsuke was silent for a while, not knowing how to respond.
On the M9 in standby, Zongsuke's boss, Melissa Mao, complained on the communication channel: "Although I have heard Zongsuke say it, it is really hard to believe that such a frivolous person is actually that famous person. The Ankara Tiger.”
"Sister, you are wrong about this. Only an interesting man like that can accomplish great things."
Sousuke's colleague, sniper Kruse, retorted.
"Indeed, this guy is the same type as you at first glance."
Melissa rolled her eyes.
"It's been a long time, Tessa-chan, too..."
After hugging Zongjie, Li Boyong wanted to hug Tessa, but was held back by Zongjie, and several M9s over there also raised their guns.
At the same time, several ASs on Li Boyong's side also raised their machine guns.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little tense.
Li Boyong quickly signaled that it didn't matter, "Yufang Jiang, Yulan Jiang, it's okay, everyone put down their guns."
The AS on Amalgam's side put down the gun obediently, and Tessa quickly signaled to her subordinates not to be nervous.
"I don't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so please don't act rashly, teacher."
Sousuke warned, then retreated behind Tessa.
But his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the machine behind Li Boyong. It was the same machine as Jiulong, and there were two more. Sure enough, the teacher and Jiulong belonged to the same organization.
At this time, Tessa took the initiative to speak, "Long time no see, Mr. Li Boyong. The purpose of my visit this time is clear to you, so please skip the unnecessary polite words and tell us your answer."
Tessa naturally saw the machine behind Li Boyong, and the possibility of using force to force information out of Li Boyong came to her mind.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
But this was the opponent's territory after all, and there were two Lambda drive-equipped machines. Considering the success rate and other issues, Tessa couldn't make up her mind after all.
"I already know your purpose of coming, and I am willing to return that thing." Upon seeing this, Li Boyong replied straight to the point: "As long as you can pay the corresponding price, you can take that thing away now."
"Please tell us your conditions. Our intelligence officers have asked you many times, but you have never responded. Instead, you insisted on seeing us. Now that we are here, we hope you will stop being perfunctory."
Tessa said righteously.
"I really don't know how to cooperate." Li Boyong sighed. At this time, he should briefly ask, "What's the price?" '
Life is as lonely as snow when no one can cooperate with me in making jokes, but complaints are complaints and discussions must continue.
"The price is very simple, that is, Mithril will no longer interfere with my next phase of activities in the Middle East." Li Boyong put forward his conditions.
"Forgive me for not agreeing." Tessa shook her head. "This description is too ambiguous, and we don't know what you plan to do next. If it violates Mithril's bottom line, we cannot stand by and watch."
"Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything bad. It's better to say that if it is completed, you Mithril will also be able to avoid visiting places like this." Li Boyong explained.
But such an explanation is naturally unsatisfactory, so Li Boyong continued: "Of course, if I really violated your Mithril's bottom line, you can come to me. My request is that Mithril will be in the Middle East in the next stage. , we cannot take action against this land because of pressure from major powers."
"this……"
"Although you have been promoting your neutral position, I know very well that some things are always inevitable in the organization." Li Boyong said: "I don't want to be jealous of Mithril because I am playing the savior. A meaningless action. After all, there are always such people, countries or organizations in this world, as if only I can represent justice in the world."
This was somewhat ironic, and Tessa frowned in dissatisfaction, but it was pointless to argue on this issue at this stage.
She calmly replied: "You can change the conditions. As long as you are sincere in returning that thing, we will always maintain the most tolerant patience."
Since the success rate of using force is not high, Tessa hopes to complete the negotiation. If she can, it means that she can even try to win over the other party to betray the mysterious organization, as long as Mithril is willing to pay enough benefits.
"Then what, how about this."
Li Boyong lowered his voice and made mouth movements.
While the secret negotiations between Li Boyong and Mithril were ongoing, Wang Liumei participated in the secret consultation meeting on the formal agreement on oil resources among Middle Eastern countries.
