Chapter 627: I Regret Being King of the Mercenaries (Part Two)

Kush laughed bitterly. “You’re more hilarious than the politicians when you’re an Asian and saying those things in this strange land.”

“Believe it or not. I’m Asian, but why aren’t these brothers behind me Asian? Some of them are black, some of them are white, so my motivations are regardless of race, and I don’t need you to believe me. If you don’t want to, I’ll just have more work to do, but I don’t care. I want to stir up a storm in this world, and with my power, you don’t think I can do it?” Xu Cheng asked.

Kush: “I don’t doubt that you have this ability, especially since you are standing in front of me intact within three days of being seriously injured by me. Your strength is even more exquisite, and with this, I can’t see through you.”

Xu Cheng remained silent.

Kush saw that he was smoking and was craving it a bit, so he said, “Give me one.”

Xu Cheng handed him a cigarette and picked up a piece of burning charcoal that was on the ground, and Kush leaned closer to light it up.

He looked towards the ruins and smoked as he sighed. “The most awesome thing I’ve done in my life is overthrowing the corrupt government, but what I regret the most is also overthrowing those officials and not being able to become independent. This caused more countries to reach in and cause a whole mess of the place, so more and more independent allies followed my example to take over the territory, and the ones who suffered the most were the native civilians. Now that I think about it, I really feel like a fool. To fight for a breath of life, I caused today’s situation. Many people call me the king of mercenaries, a legend if you call it nicely; but in fact, I’m just a pawn those politicians use as a trigger, to turn an incompetent country into a chaotic mercenary land. How am I not a fool? “

Having said that, Kush shook his head mockingly. “I’ve already been wrong once, if I really let other countries take over this place as a colony, it would really be a sin of ages. That’s why I’ll do whatever it takes to protect this place. Do you know why I refuse to rule this place and declare independence?”

Xu Cheng looked at him.

“It’s not that I don’t dare, but I can’t.” Kush said, “I can’t defend myself yet, so if I do rule in independence, then many countries won’t accommodate me and will try to kill me. They have the ability to do so, and once I die, the place will become even more chaotic. So, first and foremost, I can’t die. Even if I don’t have the means to be independent here, I can limit the size of any independent army that develops; if a band of mercenaries gets too big, I will intervene, and that’s why I made so many rules in the Land of Mercenaries.”

Xu Cheng: “So, your objection to me killing those five commanders wasn’t because they gave you any benefits, but to keep the M Nation from having an excuse to step in, right?”

Kush nodded. “I have no choice, I can only balance some things.”

Xu Cheng looked away, his eyes were deep as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he threw the cigarette butt away and said to Kush, “Let your team of soldiers have control over lands owned by the Continental Mercenaries, and as for the other places, I will find a way to expand there and then merge them.”

Having said that, Xu Cheng turned around and walked away.
