After all, Ryan still didn't admit it to his face.
The conversation between the two ended up on bad terms.
It should be said that Ryan at least has not completely lost his conscience.
Early the next morning, Team Akainu was released from the detention center without detention, fines, or even compensation.
"Are we leaving like this?"
Rock sat in the car and asked reluctantly while looking at the check in his hand.
"if not?"
Yang Jie rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"You still want to stay here?"
"No, I just feel like I want to beat Ryan up."
After learning the truth of the matter last night, Rock's attitude towards Ryan changed 180 degrees.
Having said this, he poked Yang Jie's body.
"What should we do now?"
Rock was a little crestfallen.
"This time, once Ryan leaves, Team Akainu no longer lives up to its name."
After saying this, he hesitated and asked hesitantly and worriedly:
"We...are not going to break up?"
"Why break up?"
Yang Jie frowned and looked at Luo Ke and asked:
"Is it possible that without Ryan, we can't continue?"
What a joke, without Butcher Zhang, would it be possible to eat pigs with hair on them?
Yang Jie didn't believe this evil.
Besides, he couldn't swallow this breath.
“After all, doesn’t Ryan just look down on us people?
If they really broke up, wouldn't it be equivalent to agreeing with what he said? "
Yang Jie said and looked at Luo Ke.
“Then don’t we really become clowns?
Would you like to be a clown? "
Rock shook his head.
"But Yang Jie, what else can you do now?"
Ivan, who was sitting in the front seat, asked slightly sadly while driving the car:
"Our missions are only released to the captain. Now that Ryan is gone, we can't even receive the mission."
"Who said that wasteland walkers must accept missions to survive?"
Yang Jie suddenly asked back.
Ivan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yang Jie in the rearview mirror.
Wasteland Walker is a very broad concept. Those who pick up garbage in the wasteland, perform tasks, and run businesses are all Wasteland Walkers.
After all, the meaning of wasteland walker itself is just "a person running around in the wasteland."
The reason why the Akainu team takes on combat missions actually has something to do with Ryan personally - after all, he is a soldier himself and is better at combat and other matters.
And this caused Ivan to still be in the inertia of his thinking for a while, subconsciously feeling that people like him should still rely on fighting to support themselves in the future.
Frowning, Ivan asked:
"Are you planning to run a business? Although we have some capital now, we have too few manpower.
In the wilderness, the most vulnerable people to robbery are caravans.
Just a few of us would die if we went out with a bunch of goods. "
"No, I have no plans to run a business, at least not yet."
Yang Jie shook his head and replied.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Ivan is really confused.
"Um……"
Yang Jie thought for a while and suddenly smiled.
He opened his mouth and replied with an incomprehensible sentence:
"I want to be a water seller on the edge of a gold mine."
"ah?"
Rock obviously didn't understand.
"Gold mine? Selling water?
What on earth are you talking about? "
"I just have some ideas now."
Yang Jie shrugged.
“We have to wait until we return to Old Port to discuss the details.
If it goes through, maybe this is our opportunity. "
"Yes, this is a great opportunity."
Richie sat on a chair, looked at his subordinates standing neatly in front of him, and said:
“Now, we have pried open the cracks in the door of the Old Port.
By making good use of Piero, we can take over the entire Old Port starting from Thor Industries. "
Ryan's eyes were staring straight at his feet, looking like he was in a trance.
Seeing that Ryan didn't respond, Rich couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and coughed slightly.
When the colleague next to him saw this, he quickly and quietly scolded Ryan.
Ryan, who was in a daze, quickly came back to his senses, saw Richie looking at him, and quickly lowered his head.
"Sorry, Mr. Minister."
Ryan looked a little haggard, and Richie didn't criticize him too much.
"You didn't have any rest last night, okay?"
"Fortunately, don't worry about it."
Ryan replied quickly.
In fact, not only did he not get a good rest, he simply didn't sleep all night.
Yang Jie's question kept echoing in his mind.
Do you regret it?
not at all.
He knew very well that he cared more about Peko than Team Akainu.
Because Peco is not only his friend, but also a kindness to him.
It can even be said that without Peco, there would be no such high-spirited young major.
To be fair, he did not look down on Yang Jie and others, nor did he intend to use them as stepping stones.
Psychologically, he didn't want to deceive a few people.
He just really had no other choice.
But he really, really had no intention of killing Team Akainu.
When Yang Jie scolded him, he really wanted to defend himself.
But he knew better that there was no use in defending.
When he made this choice, he already understood what his image would become among the rest of the Akainu team.
"The Old Port is the key to our southward policy."
On the other side, Rich continued his speech:
"Democratic Noria and the Jose family have reached a stalemate.
Even with our help, Nolia still has no way to move forward. "
Democratic Noria, the puppet state of the Lone Star Republic in the south.
Ryan put away his thoughts and listened to Richie's continued speech:
"There is no hope for those people now. If we want to destroy the Jose family, we still have to rely on ourselves."
Rich said:
"Old Port is the only northern power that is close to the Jose family except Nolia. There are trade exchanges between the two parties, so Jose does not have many defenses in this direction and there are relatively few fortifications.
As long as we can capture the Old Port, we can push all the way south along this line. "
"So we help Piero while keeping him firmly under control?"
one of his men asked.
"That's right,"
Richie nodded with satisfaction and looked at Ryan.
“Ryan, you are most familiar with the Old Port, and you also know Piero.
It's your responsibility.
Remember, you must control this person. "
Richie's sudden name made Ryan's head jerk up.
He returned to Lone Star to help Peko, not for this matter!
Obviously what Richie said before was that he would come back because he needed people around Peco.
Why did you suddenly change your mind? !
Besides, back to Old Port?
Ryan really didn't want to go back.
Just as he opened his mouth to refuse, Ryan saw Richie's face.
That clear look did not allow Ryan to refuse.
Ryan immediately understood that he could not shirk this task.
In my mind, Yang Jie's words seemed to ring in my ears again.
"You are really a good dog raised by Lone Star."
Dog?
Maybe you're right, Yang Jie.
Nodding, Ryan stood at attention expressionlessly.
"Thank you for your trust. I will do my best to complete the task."
