Reborn Tycoon: Hong Kong's Entertainment Godfather

Gu Yuhan smiled. He didn't think Robertson was being overly cautious; in this line of work, being cautious wasn't a bad thing. However, he still smiled and said, "No need. Just bring them to see me. This is the biggest client the Divine Tomb has ever had. It's better if I come and talk to them personally."

Robertson paused for a moment, then, as if struck by a sudden realization, asked with delight, "Boss, could these people be from Daiying?"

Gu Yuhan smiled without saying anything, but told Robertson to hurry up and bring the person over. After all, the other party represented Daiying, so it was not good to be too negligent.

Inside the large conference room of the office, Gu Yuhan didn't have to wait long before Robertson led a group of people in. The man at the head of the group was tall and imposing, his well-tailored suit giving him an air of quiet authority. "Excuse me, are you the boss of the Divine Tomb Mercenary Company?" the man asked expressionlessly. Gu Yuhan stood up and nodded. "That's right, my surname is Gu. May I ask how I should address you?"

Upon hearing this, the man extended his hand to shake hands with Gu Yuhan and said, "Mr. Gu, you can just call me Abraham."

After exchanging greetings, both parties sat down, ready to get down to business.

Abraham spoke first: "Mr. Gu, I've come to your company to discuss an order, but this order is a bit special. I wonder if you can agree to it?"

They haven't even said anything yet, and they're already asking Gu Yuhan if she agrees? It's a bit of a joke. However, Gu Yuhan can also tell that the other party is cautious. She can tell that they still have many doubts about this new mercenary company!

Moreover, this is a war fought by the British, and their current search for external help inevitably makes them feel somewhat ashamed.

Gu Yuhan had no interest in playing along and said directly, "Mr. Abraham, if you are here on behalf of Ying, I think we can have a good talk about the order."

Abraham was somewhat surprised that Gu Yuhan had directly exposed his identity, since he had only given his name and had not introduced himself!

At the same time, those behind him also immediately became wary, reaching into their coats. Shen Yong, Pang Youcai, and even Robertson and Wan Qiqianchen, who were present, reacted to this hostility, immediately reaching for their weapons.

"What are you doing!" Abraham roared, and his men immediately quieted down. "Mr. Gu, I'm so sorry, my subordinates overreacted. But I'm curious, how did they know I represented Dai Ying?"

Gu Yuhan smiled, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened. "This is a trade secret, so please forgive me for not being able to disclose it truthfully!" Hearing Gu Yuhan say this, Abraham narrowed his eyes. Although the young man with the Asian face in front of him looked harmless, even a fool could tell that he was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

This is a mercenary company. Abraham and his group did some research before they came. It is said that this company has integrated scattered mercenaries from all over the world. How could someone with such means be an ordinary businessman?

"Since you don't want to say, then I won't ask. Mr. Gu, now that you know why I'm here, then..." Abraham seemed to be asking Gu Yuhan's thoughts.

Gu Yuhan did not answer immediately, but instead waved his hand. Pang Youcai immediately placed his metal box containing Barrett on the table, and after entering the password, opened the box and faced Abraham!

"Mr. Abraham, I can accept this order, but I want the authority to act independently. In other words, the Divine Tomb can assist Dai Ying in battle, but we will not accept your orders or control. I wonder if you can agree to that?" Gu Yuhan said. Abraham's gaze was completely drawn to Barrett, but upon hearing Gu Yuhan's request, he forced himself to look away, frowning slightly as he asked, "Mr. Gu, why is that?"

"Why?" Gu Yuhan pointed to the Barrett rifle in the box. "Because I can send two hundred men armed with this weapon, Mr. Abraham. This gun is called the Barrett, and the US military has already deployed it on a large scale. Its power will definitely exceed your imagination!"

Although this was Abraham's first time seeing Barrett in person, his presence here meant that he had already heard about this new weapon!

He had watched a video of a Barrett rifle being used in live-fire exercises and had some understanding of its power. "Mr. Gu, I've heard a little about the power of the Barrett, but since you've accepted our employment, isn't it a bit unreasonable that you're not following our orders?"

Gu Yuhan would never accept Dai Ying's orders in order to achieve his goal! It wasn't that he was being petty, but he knew better than anyone that if he accepted Dai Ying's orders, they would definitely send the mercenaries to the most dangerous places!

This is perfectly reasonable. If the roles were reversed, Gu Yuhan would also place the hired people in the most dangerous places to ensure that more of his own people could survive.

The number of fighters in the Divine Tomb is less than six hundred at most. Because of a single order that resulted in a loss of more than half of them, Gu Yuhan would never do such a money-losing business!

"What if I said that if you agree to let us act independently, we'll give you a surprise?" Gu Yuhan smiled slyly. "In other words, the value we can create by acting independently will definitely be higher than if we were under your command and orders!" Abraham fell silent, and his expression wasn't particularly good. Judging from Gu Yuhan's words, this was clearly a questioning of their military command!

This could be considered an insult, yet the confidence emanating from Gu Yuhan left Abraham speechless. Caught in this dilemma, Abraham paused for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Gu, I cannot make this decision myself; I need to discuss it with my superiors."

"Discuss?" Gu Yuhan rested his elbows on the table, his fingers interlaced. "Abraham, please forgive me for not using a respectful title, but I feel that there needs to be some sincerity between us. If you don't have the power to make decisions, then the person sitting here right now wouldn't be you, would they?"

Abraham was taken aback, and his already furrowed brows deepened!

He was certain that Gu Yuhan was no ordinary person, but what he didn't expect was that this guy seemed to be able to see right through people's hearts, and he felt like he had no secrets at all!

Just as Abraham was pondering how to respond to Gu Yuhan, he heard Gu Yuhan say, "Alright, you can report to your superiors, that's your right. But this matter isn't urgent. You've come from afar, so how about I take you around first? I can't speak for other things, but the scenery around our Divine Tomb is quite nice."

Hearing this, Abraham nodded in agreement. He understood that Gu Yuhan was giving him a way out! But then again, wasn't he the one who had forced himself into this position? Gu Yuhan led them to the mountain behind the headquarters. Along the way, he really acted like a tour guide, introducing Abraham to some of the functional areas of the Divine Tomb headquarters, as well as some of the surrounding scenery.

However, after they stopped, Abraham felt somewhat puzzled, because Gu Yuhan had said that this was a live-fire shooting training range.

But Abraham couldn't see any difference between this place and ordinary forests. There were no targets, no cover, and no control panels or gun racks. It was a completely primitive place.

"Mr. Gu, is this really a shooting range?" Abraham asked. Gu Yuhan smiled, then snapped his fingers. In the next second, countless figures suddenly appeared around them! Some stood up from the bushes, others emerged from the dense trees, each wielding a Barrett rifle, its dark muzzle aimed in their direction!

This time, not only his subordinates were affected, but even Abraham himself instinctively drew his gun! In that instant, Abraham's clothes were already soaked with cold sweat, because before Gu Yuhan snapped his fingers, he had no idea that so many people were lurking around him!

The closest person to them was less than three meters away. At that distance, let alone a gun, if they were facing an enemy, they wouldn't even have time to react if their throats were slit!

"Don't panic, this is just their routine infiltration training. As a professional sniper, accurate shooting alone is far from enough. You also need to have all sorts of skills, and this disguise and infiltration is one of them!" Gu Yuhan pressed down Abraham's gun-wielding hand and explained with a smile.

Gu Yuhan gave Pang Youcai a look, and Pang Youcai nodded slightly and immediately gathered everyone together! It was at this moment that Abraham discovered that more than two hundred people had been lying in ambush around them.

This means that, without them even realizing it, they had already been targeted by more than two hundred powerful Barrett rifles!

Let alone the fact that there were only twelve of them, facing such a network of firepower and the powerful lethality of the Barrett rifles, even if one or two thousand people entered this area, they would probably all be sniped by the enemy in a very short time!

Just as Abraham was feeling apprehensive, Pang Youcai loudly reprimanded him, "What are you doing? What kind of disguise is this! Why are you tying leaves to your body while hiding in the grass? And you, since you chose to hide in the tree for a high vantage point, you should at least have hidden your shoes, right? What are you laughing at! Your situation is the most serious. How many times have I told you, when you're lying in wait, you can't have any easily emanating odor. Where did that sour cucumber smell come from on you?!"

Abraham was completely dumbfounded; he hadn't noticed any flaws in their ambush! Although he hadn't known beforehand, as a qualified taxi driver, staying vigilant at all times was something they had to do!

The group of twelve were all elites among the elite, and they would never make such foolish mistakes. No matter where they were, observing their surroundings had become an instinct for them!

So the conclusion is that the infiltration capabilities of these two hundred-plus snipers were strong enough to evade their observation. However, the person who looked like a bodyguard who was always by Gu Yuhan's side was still not satisfied and even found so many faults!

"Mr. Gu, I know why you brought me here!" Abraham put away his gun. "You probably want to prove to me the strength of your mercenaries, right?"

Gu Yuhan remained noncommittal, saying, "I suppose so. The more you understand us, the smoother the cooperation can proceed, which is always a good thing."

Abraham agreed with this point, but his understanding of the Tomb of the Gods was still too one-sided, because Gu Yuhan's main force for this order was not those snipers!

So their next stop was the battlefield outside the headquarters, the place where the three hundred warriors were training!

Looking at the three hundred burly men, their bodies covered in wounds yet still roaring with bloodshot eyes, Abraham was once again stunned! He felt as if those before him weren't three hundred living people, but three hundred monsters in human skin! "Abraham, interested in having some fun? Let your men spar with mine, consider it a chance to get to know each other better."

Abraham had dealt with mercenaries before, so he knew what kind of people they were! In his mind, mercenaries were a group of people who would do anything for money, and although they were fierce, they were not particularly strong on average. When they saw regular soldiers like Abraham, they would just run away immediately.

But the mercenaries before him overturned Abraham's usual ideas, because he could actually sense a powerful aura of fearlessness from these people!

This imposing aura was almost overwhelming even his elite troops! Therefore, Abraham had no reason to refuse Gu Yuhan's proposal, either personally or professionally! Professionally, he wanted to see if these mercenaries were truly worth hiring!

Privately, he instinctively believed that it was all an illusion!

Gu Yuhan suspended the training of the three hundred warriors and gathered them together. It must be said that since the Divine Tomb became more formalized, these mercenaries were no longer as lazy as before, and they stood in neat rows!

Before Cheng Hui took over the training, their only advantage was that they stood in neat rows; at a glance, they had absolutely no spirit.

Now things are different. These three hundred warriors stand tall and proud, and even though they are covered in mud, they only appear more imposing!

"Uncle Hui, these guests are from Daiying. Send a few people out to have a friendly competition with them, just to let them test the quality of this order!" Gu Yuhan said.

Yu Chenghui glanced at Abraham and the others indifferently, and then casually said, "Since it's a friendly spar, let them choose their own opponents. There are three hundred people here, no more, no less, so they can choose whomever they want."

Yu Chenghui is indeed a master of pretense; he doesn't put on any effort at all, and a casual expression or a single sentence can leave people in awe.

Gu Yuhan smiled and shrugged at Abraham. "You heard that? Then let your men choose their opponents." Abraham nodded and gestured to his subordinates. The eleven men immediately walked toward the three hundred warriors, seemingly choosing their opponents very carefully.
