As she faced this old man in front of her, Wang Xiaoyan’s mood at the moment could only be described as shock. Although Old Buffon hadn’t seen her, she had seen photos of Old Buffon from some sources. This person was the patriarch of the current Buffon Family and one of the most powerful people in Europe.
However, his current performance seemed like a kidult whereby he didn’t really look like a majestic old man.

Is this master’s wife?
How experienced was Old Buffon? He naturally noticed the unusual relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming, so he greeted her warmly and respectfully.
Wang Xiaoyan didn’t expect that she would one day become the elder of Old Buffon! He is a character who is at the same level as my father! And although my family is also very powerful, Old Buffon’s family isn’t bad. So the relationship between the two families can’t be said to be very good. It can only be neutral.

However, if I can win the support of Old Buffon’s family, father obviously will be less resistant to the matters between Yang Ming and me. It seems now that whatever Yang Ming asked from Old Buffon, he will not refuse as long as he can do what he can.



Hello, Mr. Buffon.
Wang Xiaoyan nodded politely.

 Hah 
, don’t have to add Mister. Just call me Old Buffon!
said Old Buffon indifferently.

Old Buffon, don’t underestimate Yanyan. Her Kung Fu isn’t weaker than mine, so it is the same to ask her to give you directions sometimes!
Since Yang Ming had decided to establish a relationship with Wang Xiaoyan, he would introduce these resources around him to her.
The assassin group wasn’t Yang Ming’s ultimate goal. Therefore, the things of the assassin group should be handed over to Wang Xiaoyan, and these connections must be handed over to Wang Xiaoyan as well.
Old Buffon was naturally convinced by Yang Ming’s words. When he heard that Wang Xiaoyan was also a master, his eyes immediately revealed an admiring look.
Master’s wife, please guide me more in the future.


If there is time, I will guide you,
Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said. She was delighted. She didn’t expect that she would have such a day. The true identity and strength of Yang Ming had made Wang Xiaoyan more and more skeptical. Although Yang Ming had never said anything, and his usual performance was very ordinary, Wang Xiaoyan thought that he was very unusual.
Li Qiang and others were well-trained. They unloaded the firearms from the ship in an orderly manner, but they were perplexed when they saw the fighters and tanks. These people were from the Martial Arts School or assassins, and they had never touched these things.
Yang Ming suddenly regretted it. If he knew this, he would have asked Hou Zhenhan to come. He definitely understood these things.

Brother Yang, look…
Li Qiang looked at Yang Ming who was perplexed. To be honest, they didn’t know how to operate these things, but they also wanted to get them. After all, their strength would be improved conclusively with these things.

Old Buffon, you gave me these things, but my people don’t know how to use them. Can your people operate them? Can they give my men some simple training?
Yang Ming turned to ask Old Buffon.



That’s easy.
Old Buffon called the underworld leader next to him.
Lex, go find someone who knows how to operate it, and give my master’s men some training!


Yes!
The underworld leader, known as Lex, quickly went to gather people. Here, Li Qiang also found a few of the more clever men to learn how to operate the fighters and tanks from Lex and the others.
Of course, after these people had learned the operations, they could pass these techniques to others.
This time, Yang Ming and the others set the camp in a place five kilometers away from town. These massive objects, such as tanks and armored vehicles, were so eye-catching and easily discovered by others, so it was better to be cautious.
To make the relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and Old Buffon stronger, Yang Ming did not teach Old Buffon Kung Fu; instead, he let Wang Xiaoyan guide him. Wang Xiaoyan’s Kung Fu was more than enough to teach Old Buffon.
And Old Buffon finally learned how proficient Wang Xiaoyan’s Kung Fu was. As he admired it, he also studied seriously from Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Xiaoyan also got instructions from Yang Ming that the Kung Fu she taught to Old Buffon must be the foundational Kung Fu that would promote physical fitness, and she shouldn’t teach the assassin techniques.
Even if Old Buffon wanted to kill anyone, he didn’t have to do it in person. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyan didn’t need to teach him these techniques.
Yang Ming was idle for two days. Li Qiang and others were busy studying the operating techniques with Lex. In two days, they became familiar with the working techniques of the fighters, tanks, and armored vehicles.
On the morning of the next day, General Howton and Officer Wickson boarded their cars and were on their way to the teahouse. Li Qiang led the powerful arms of the air and land units to General Howton’s garrison. Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan brought Golden Bull and other people to secretly lurk in the vicinity of the tea house, waiting for action.


Old Buffon and Lex stayed at the base. They didn’t participate in the operation.

Patriarch Buffon, that young man is actually your master?
Lex asked inexplicably. After two days of busywork, he finally had the opportunity to be alone with Old Buffon. Only then could Lex ask the question in his heart.

Don’t talk nonsense!
Old Buffon regained his usual majesty.
What young man? Man’s will doesn’t depend on his age. If Master and master’s wife have yet to dominate the underworld, they must be hidden masters. Be respectful. Do you understand me?


I understand…
Lex was asking casually. He didn’t expect Old Buffon to get angry and nodded quickly.

After you go back, call your men to come over. I will give them some training to ensure that they have improved their skills!
Old Buffon learned some fighting skills from Wang Xiaoyan, and he was looking for an opportunity to display it.

Yes, master.
Lex nodded.
………
Outside the teahouse, twenty people in different uniforms were scattered around the teahouse. These were the guards of General Howton and General Kevin. Each of them brought only ten people out to show sincerity to each other.
In their view, the town was their territory. There was no need to bring too many people.
After General Howton and General Kevin entered the teahouse, Yang Ming whispered to Golden Bull next to him,
You can move out.




Do you want them alive?
asked Golden Bull.
Yang Ming shook his head faintly. Golden Bull waved his hand and said to the men behind him,
Move out; don’t leave one alive.

Neither General Howton nor General Kevin’s bodyguards had formal training, but they were picked from the best among their men.
Both groups knew that today’s negotiations were peaceful, so they weren’t too nervous. Although the guards were nearby, they were chatting with ease.

Hey 
, Old San, we only brought so few people. Is there any danger?
General Howton’s guard spoke to another guard beside him.

How is that possible? The nearby territory either belongs to our general or General Kevin. Who dares to provoke us?
The guard named Old San said indifferently.
Look. The people on the street are avoiding us!


You’re right. Only our armed forces are nearby. It seems that I’m worrying too much!
The former guard listened to Old San and laughed with ease.

Yeah, you…
As Old San was talking to the former guard, he abruptly stopped talking halfway through because the other guard had collapsed, and blood spurted out from his neck!

What happened!
As Old San just shouted half of his sentence, he only felt coldness at his neck, then he didn’t know anything.
How could these people be the opponents of Golden Bull and others? Golden Bull and the others had cut their throats before they could take out their guns. Even those who had a quick enough reaction to take out their weapons died before they could use it.


Twenty people were killed quickly. There were no ordinary people in the vicinity because people were hiding in their houses and did not dare to come out. So the thing that happened just now was over without even causing any attention.
Yang Ming nodded with satisfaction. There were only a few of Wang Xiaoyan’s men in Golden Bull’s team. However, they had been fully integrated into this group. Everyone had learned to cooperate and establish a tacit understanding with each other. Therefore, they could kill twenty people in an instant without leaving any traces.
Wang Xiaoyan was also very pleased with Golden Bull’s improvement. It seemed that Yang Ming’s training method was effective because her men had achieved an improvement in such a short period.
General Howton and General Kevin entered a deluxe private room and sat down face to face at the table.

Long time no see, Kevin!
General Howton reached out with a friendly hand, and the two were like friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.

Yeah, I haven’t seen you for a long time!
General Kevin also shook hands with General Howton amiably.
Speaking of which, we’ve been old neighbors for four to five years!


Yeah, we are old neighbors because our political views are different, so we get along with each other quite well!
After General Howton chit-chatted, he broached the topic.
There is no war between us. It’s considered quite peaceful, right?!


This is indeed the case!
General Kevin continued and said,
However, this is only the past. I am afraid this is not the case recently, right?


Why do you say this?
General Howton said,
It should be me asking, right?


Let’s not beat around the bush. I gave up the political power in the town, but you even interfered with my people going into town to purchase necessities? Aren’t you extending your authority too far?
General Kevin was a little angry for General Howton acting dumb.

 En 
?
General Howton was stunned and immediately said in anger,
What is wrong with you? General Kevin, if you are interested in the political power of the town, you can speak up, and we can have a negotiation. You don’t have to use force, right?

General Kevin listened to General Howton’s words and suddenly became furious. He hit the table and said,
Howton, what do you mean by this? Aren’t you clear about my development policy? I have no interest in the town’s political power. I built armed forces here mainly to make money and to provide mercenary services to some nearby small countries. I have no interest in the competition of political power!


 Hmph 
, since you are not interested, don’t do those things!
General Howton was also angered.
You say it then. What do you mean? Do you think I am easy to be bullied?


Listening to what you said, it wasn’t you who assaulted my men then?
Kevin’s eyes widened.

I assaulted your men? Didn’t your people assault my men?
General Howton also widened his eyes.
Could it be that there are third-party forces here?

Listening to the dispute between the two, Yang Ming suddenly felt a little amused, but he also confirmed the intention of General Kevin. This person didn’t have political ambitions. Indeed, his actions were in line with his current state. In this way, if this person were dead or not, it didn’t influence Yang Ming’s plan.

Well, you two can stop arguing. You are right. There are indeed third-party forces!
Yang Ming pushed open the door of the private room and went in with Wang Xiaoyan.

Who are you? Where are the guards?!
Howton also subconsciously knew that something wasn’t right when he saw Yang Ming coming in, and he quickly shouted to the guards at the door.

Are you calling your men? They are all dead.
Yang Ming said faintly.
Okay, Howton, you can die now.

Howton was so frightened that he extended his hand to his waist to get his gun. However, before he could touch the pistol, a bloody hole appeared in between his eyebrows. He fell to the ground as he suffered a death filled with grievances.
In Golden Bull’s hand was a smoking gun…
General Kevin also realized the danger of the people who came in. He didn’t dare to make a move. He sat there vigilantly, watching Yang Ming and the others.

Kevin, right?
Yang Ming asked in English.

Yes,
General Kevin nodded.
Who are you?


Don’t worry. I just came to take Howton’s life. It has nothing to do with you. Now you can go. Remember. Don’t interfere with Country X’s internal affairs. Otherwise, you will be the next one who dies,
said Yang Ming calmly.

You are… sent by General Kars?
General Kevin was stunned, but then he understood what was going on.

It’s not good for you to know so much,
said Yang Ming, not expressing an opinion.

Rest assured. Please tell General Kars that I have no interest in the political power of Country X. I am just here to establish a mercenary group to provide mercenaries to some of the surrounding small countries,
General Kevin explained.

I hope so.
Yang Ming nodded and said,
You can go!

General Kevin didn’t expect Yang Ming to let him go so easily. He didn’t dare to delay. After he thanked Yang Ming, he quickly left the private room. He was shocked that General Kars had the strength to send someone to take General Howton’s life even from a distance!
General Kevin knew of the conflict between General Howton and General Kars. He thought that with General Howton’s power, he could fight General Kars. But he didn’t expect General Howton to be eliminated so quickly.
This incident also made General Kevin more determined in his own ideas to not participate in the political battle of Country X so that he could protect himself. Otherwise, he would become someone’s target.
Outside the teahouse, he saw a large number of unfamiliar armed forces. General Kevin determined that these people did not belong to General Howton because the uniforms they wore were different from General Howton’s forces.
The corpses on the ground also explained all of this. All of his and General Howton’s people died. When he came, he came with people; when he left, he was driving himself.
However, General Kevin was already content with this result. Although he lost ten of his best soldiers, he saved his life, which was more important than anything else.
At the same time, in Howton’s garrison, the arrival of Li Qiang and the others had already doomed the end of this war. This was originally an unfair war.
This was one-sided. In the face of the high-tech armed forces of Li Qiang and the others, Howton’s armed forces appeared to be so fragile.
When several armored vehicles drove to the front door of General Howton’s garrison, the people inside surrendered without resistance! These people were mostly poor people and all local people. They joined Howton’s armed forces to survive. Therefore, according to Yang Ming’s instructions, as long as they surrendered, they would stop attacking and killing.
The policy for these people was different from Howton’s guards. The reason why Yang Ming killed Howton’s guards was that they were Howton’s cronies. If they survived, they might become a threat in the future. However, these people were different. They didn’t care whether their general was changed or not. All they needed were food and clothing.
Only those who had food and clothes would fight on the battlefield desperately. In particular, these people didn’t resist when they heard that General Howton was killed. The person in charge who stayed at the garrison personally commanded his men to open the gate and welcome Li Qiang and the others to settle in.
That was because they also understood that it was impossible to resist. Can you fistfight with armored cars? This was obviously unrealistic. The opponents’ equipment was ten times more powerful than theirs. They would only die if they resisted.
At this point, Li Qiang and the others easily took over General Howton’s garrison. Li Qiang quickly reported this good news to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also expected the situation encountered by Li Qiang and others. In fact, these armed forces here were basically some rabble without any professional training. The soldiers were like ducks driven onto a perch 1
 . In fact, their beliefs and loyalty hadn’t yet been established, so they could be collapsed easily.

Well done. Arrest the person in charge of the garrison. You don’t need me to say more, right?
Yang Ming commanded.
