After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 189 - 160: License to Kill_2

Everyone kept expressing their own opinions.

Plans were put forward one by one.

Plans were rejected one by one.

After more than an hour of discussion, in the end everything returned to square one - forceful assault.

Among all the plans, only the forceful assault plan was executable.

But there's still the same problem.

Forceful assault would definitely lead to hostage casualties.

Going in is to take the fall for the city council.

Taking the fall is a huge gamble.

Who will gamble?

Who dares to gamble?

The atmosphere fell silent again. In the face of great risk, no one was willing to stand out.

Captain Ivan looked at everyone coldly and sarcastically said, "Mr. Deputy Speaker, see? This is New Moon City's mercenaries."

"These mercenaries only do what's beneficial to them. They reek of money and have no spirit of sacrifice. Bringing them here is a pure waste of time."

"Please order, let the Anti-Violence Fourth Section handle the rescue. Whatever consequences come, I will bear them with you. Let these spineless mercenaries be the cowards they are!"

In the corner, Ou Chenyu finally couldn't sit still. Anger welled up within him, and he was ready to strike the table.

However...

Suddenly with a "bang", someone else struck the table first.

It was Su Mo who slapped the table in front of Dress and shouted, "Damn it, what are you shouting for? You look down on us mercenaries?!"

In an instant, everyone was stunned.

Zhou Hanyan sat there dazed, looking a bit confused.

Audiana covered her red lips, wide-eyed with shock.

Dress was about to wet himself with fear.

Ivan froze for a moment, then his face gradually filled with rage, glaring back at Su Mo: "You dare to slam the table with me?"

Su Mo pointed at Ivan's nose, his voice fierce: "So what if I slam the table with you? You keep talking about mercenaries like that, mocking us first, and I'm not allowed to rebut you?!"

Everyone was stunned: is this guy nuts, daring to talk to the Anti-Violence Fourth Section people like that?!

Ou Chenyu was even more dumbfounded, thinking: How did he say what I wanted to say?

With his words stolen, Ou Chenyu was left speechless, sitting there sulking, letting Su Mo take the spotlight.

Sikinkov didn't expect this turn of events either, looking at Dress: "The person you brought..."

Dress stood up sweating profusely, forcing a laugh: "Ah ha ha ha, well, Xiaosu usually has a temper disorder, seems like he didn't take his meds tonight, please pardon him, I'll take him out to take his medicine now."

Dress was about to pull him away when Su Mo broke free and walked right up to Ivan, facing him directly.

Dress grabbed his dirty braids, looking on the verge of breakdown, wanting to bang his head on the wall.

Su Mo, chin raised, said: "We mercenaries were invited by the Deputy Speaker, and you look down on us? Who do you think you are?"

Ivan looked up and down at Su Mo, sneering: "Didn't expect you to have some collective consciousness, speaking up for your buddies. Xiaosu, right? How long have you been a mercenary?"

Su Mo: "Not even two months."

Ivan burst into laughter, as if hearing a joke: "Not even two months? Kid, you just asked me, who do I think I am?"

"I joined the Anti-Violence Fourth Section at 21, served for 27 years now, participated in 982 anti-violence operations, received 3 special merits, 12 first-class merits, 47 second-class merits, and 124 third-class merits."

"And you ask me who I am? Huh? A little mercenary under two months? When I was fighting bloodily with thugs, you were still cells in your parents' stomachs. You think you're on par with us in the Anti-Violence Fourth Section?!"

Unfazed, Su Mo used a teasing tone: "Anti-Violence Fourth Section? Hey, everyone, have you heard that joke? If not, let me tell it to you—"

"Once, a robber kidnapped hostages. Upon hearing the news, the authorities sent in armed forces to rescue them."

"The hostages saw the rescuers coming from the window, suddenly got nervous, and said to the robbers: Give me a gun! I'll rush out with you!"

"The robbers asked why? The hostages replied: Didn't you see they're from the Anti-Violence Fourth Section? If we don't rush out, we'll all be shot by them soon!"

This joke made the mediators and mercenaries present chuckle, even the usually steady Zhou Hanyan smirked a bit.

The only one not laughing was Dress, who sat there numbly, already gone senseless.

In New Moon City, the power and deterrence of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section are undeniable.

But the "operational immunity" leading to rampant shootings by anti-violence team members, along with the mass innocent casualties in each operation, have always been a point of criticism against the department.

Su Mo's joke truly hit Ivan's sore spot. His eyes turned red, like a raging bull.

If the occasion weren't inappropriate, he'd have crippled this impudent little mercenary.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Sikinkov tapped the table with his knuckles, saying sternly: "Mind your language, this is a combat meeting, not a place for your stand-up comedy. We have serious matters to discuss."

Su Mo also got serious: "I'm here to discuss serious business. Mr. Deputy Speaker, with all due respect, if this operation is entrusted to the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, then we're truly doomed."

"Even without considering the post-action blame issue, just looking at capabilities, it should be us mercenaries executing it."

Ivan, enraged, laughed instead: "Kid, you really can boast. Go on, let's see your performance."

Sikinkov frowned: "I don't understand your point. It's true the Anti-Violence Fourth Section has internal issues, but Captain Ivan is a very seasoned commander, skilled in all kinds of special operations, an expert in this field. You think you are more professional than him?"

Su Mo shook his head: "In terms of special operations, of course I'm not as professional as him. But you're trapped in a misconception. What we're facing now isn't a special operation, it's a business deal."
