86: The strict hierarchy of Hydra
"Old Wang?"
Wang Qingmu felt a bit speechless hearing Scavenger's address. "How about you call me Old Mu? Old Mu? Old Mother? Forget it, just call me Old Wang."
The way 'Old Mu' sounded, he suddenly felt more comfortable being 'Old Wang'.
"No more nonsense. Does your Hydra have anyone in Myanmar? Help me rescue someone from KK Compound. Oh, right, this is Young Lord's mission."
As soon as he heard Wang Shaojun's name, Scavenger on the other end of the line immediately straightened up, his tone serious: "Myanmar? Yes, we do, but not many elites. They're mostly a motley crew. Fighting warlords would be difficult, but if it's just one compound, then no problem."
"No problem is good. The person is in Myanmar's KK Compound. I've already sent the information to you. Also, Young Lord said he wants to see the person by early tomorrow morning. You manage the time. Do you need me to arrange a batch of weapons for you there?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Scavenger directly refused, "No need. If we can't even get weapons, then how can we clean up trash? Early tomorrow morning, you say? No problem, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
After their call ended, Scavenger immediately contacted Hydra's person in charge in Myanmar.
Theoretically, George was in charge of Hydra, but since Wang Qingmu had already approached him, there was no need to go through George unnecessarily.
At the same time!
Myawaddy slum in Myanmar!
"Hey, Little Hei, didn't you say yesterday you wanted to follow me and make a living? Come on, let me tell you the rules."
Outside a small, dilapidated house, a dark-skinned man in a long-sleeved shirt, smoking a cigarette, looked up at the young man inside, beckoning and smiling.
Under his long sleeve, a tattoo was inadvertently revealed on his wrist – a snake with nine heads. Although small, it was very intricate.
Little Hei, on the other hand, immediately ran out of the house upon hearing this. As soon as his front foot left the house, the house collapsed.
This gave both of them a fright.
"Damn it, what kind of ghost place do you live in? You almost buried me alive in there. Good thing I didn't go in, or I would've had to be buried with you."
Little Hei heard this and awkwardly scratched the back of his head with a laugh, "Hehe, Brother Dao, you know how it is. It's good enough to have a place to live. Better than sleeping outside and freezing. Let's not talk about that. Brother Dao, was what you just said true?"
Little Hei looked excitedly at the man called Brother Dao. The other person used to be like him, only able to sleep in such dangerous houses.
But a few days ago, he suddenly transformed, moved out, and not only that, but now he was dressed impeccably, even wearing a gold chain around his neck.
This was hard currency; most people, even if they had it, wouldn't dare to wear it out.
He had thought the other person had suddenly struck it rich, but yesterday, the other person took him to tour the entire nearby street. Good heavens, that scene was still fresh in his memory.
As soon as the other person walked out, everyone he met respectfully greeted him as Brother Dao, truly awe-inspiring.
Later, he learned from the other person that the reason for this change was that he had joined an organization called Hydra, and he heard this organization was incredibly powerful.
As for how powerful, he hadn't investigated, because before this, he had never heard of such a force in the vicinity.
Brother Dao heard this and said proudly, "Of course. The higher-ups allowed me to expand my influence, and there's even funding. Although not much, this is a rare opportunity."
"To grow bigger and stronger. You saw yesterday, the two nearby streets will be under my control from now on. So, I thought of you first. Follow me from now on, and I guarantee you'll live a good life. You won't have to live in these dilapidated houses anymore. You only need to hand over half of your monthly security fees."
"But I've told you the benefits, so I still need to mention the rules. Once you join Hydra, you belong to Hydra. Not just your body, but your soul too. Anyone who dares to betray will be flayed alive and have their tendons pulled out."
"Don't disbelieve me. The day before yesterday, someone betrayed the organization. You wouldn't believe it, that guy was miserable. He was hung up, with a bucket underneath, and then his skin was peeled off bit by bit. His bones were removed one by one from his body. It was worse than death."
"Do you know how many bones a person has? 206 bones, a full 206 bones, arranged one by one. That guy was left with only flesh in the end. It even gave me nightmares last night."
"How about it? Still want to join? It's not too late to back out now."
Brother Dao finished speaking, looking at the other person with a playful expression. Of course, everything he said was true.
It wasn't to scare him, but for his own safety, because Hydra had a very twisted rule.
That was, if any of his subordinates betrayed, the boss, although spared from death, would have a finger cut off.
They say things don't happen more than thrice, but Hydra would give them five chances. Once five fingers were gone, the next time it would be their head.
Little Hei felt his scalp tingle after hearing this. The more he listened, the more it sounded like selling oneself, but here, human life was the cheapest thing.
"Brother Dao, stop talking. I'll follow you. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
Seeing this, Brother Dao suddenly smiled, put his arm around the other's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't worry, would I harm you? I've looked into Hydra, and they're not as simple as you or I imagine. Besides, we both have worthless lives, what is there to be afraid of? Most importantly, as long as you have ability, you'll be highly regarded by the higher-ups. Who knows, you might even be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with those warlords."
"If I didn't know you well enough, I wouldn't dare to have you by my side. Alright, since you've decided to follow me, let's go. I'll take you somewhere, and then you'll be an official member of Hydra."
Little Hei had some doubts in his heart, not knowing where the other person wanted to take him, but he didn't ask too many questions. After all, even if he hadn't eaten pork, hadn't he seen a pig run?
Do more, ask less. That's how it's always portrayed on TV.
A moment later, the two arrived at a tattoo parlor. The people inside, seeing them, quickly greeted them respectfully.
"Brother Dao!"
"Brother Dao!"
"Brother Dao!"
Hearing this title, the boss from the back quickly ran out, pulling up his pants, "Brother Dao, why have you come? Are you here to collect the security fee? Oh, just send someone to pick it up, there's no need for you to come in person."
As he spoke, the boss pulled out a wad of money from his pocket; it looked like quite a lot.
Although he felt pained, his face was still full of smiles.
Brother Dao saw this, his face stern, and pushed the money back, "Are you trying to get me killed? We just collected it a few days ago. Take the money back. If anyone dares to collect twice in a month, you tell me, and I'll skin him alive."
The boss was surprised to hear this, not expecting such a force that refused money. It seemed Hydra's rules were quite strict, and such a force was definitely not simple.
"Hahaha, my apologies, Brother Dao. Look at my head, it was indeed collected a few days ago. I forgot, I'm truly sorry."
"Alright, I came because I want you to find someone to give my brother here a tattoo."
The boss heard this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He thought it was something serious, but it was just a tattoo.
Little Hei, watching the conversation between the two, was momentarily bewildered. There were actually people who refused money.
However, from Brother Dao's words, he could infer that this must be Hydra's rule.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at this force in a new light, not expecting such an organization to exist.
