281: Chapter 281 Joining the Ghost

A former SEAL Team Captain??

Upon hearing this, Cheetah quickly fell into recollection.

Back when he had just joined the SEAL Team, he often heard of the other man's formidable reputation.

John could be said to be someone who carved out a legendary status within the SEAL Team!

He was a legend to all of them, the raw recruits!

Even Cheetah had always regarded John as his life goal, the person he always wanted to catch up to.

However, he had to admit inwardly that compared to the other man, there was naturally an insurmountable gap...

Cheetah could only treat John as his life goal; even if he couldn't surpass him, he still had to pursue him diligently.

Afterward, for some unknown reason, the former Captain John seemed to have offended someone, leading to him being hunted by the associated interest group.

To avoid the main threat, John chose to disappear on the spot.

This way, the pressure on them was relieved.

Initially, Cheetah didn't know the reason behind this, but while searching for the truth, Cheetah accidentally touched upon this interest group. Then, before they could discover him, he quickly fled here.

At that time, he had already replaced John to become the ace of the SEAL Team.

And now...

He never expected things to come full circle right here with Lin Heng!

"You... know our former Captain?"

Cheetah quickly got up, looking at Lin Heng with suspicion.

This man definitely knew something.

In response, Lin Heng quickly nodded.

"He is currently serving in our Mercenary organization."

"Oh, right, that guy was also one of the few who proactively joined us."

Huh!?

Upon hearing this, Cheetah froze immediately.

Good heavens!

The organization their former Captain proactively joined...

That was the legendary Ghost Mercenaries!

He never expected to run into someone from the Ghost Mercenaries here!

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the Ghost Mercenaries were just a name, but in the eyes of people like them, these individuals were all monsters...

Almost every single one of them was a terrifying individual soldier, powerful to a frightening degree!

It was rumored that the Ghost Mercenaries had never failed a mission they accepted...

However...

What concerned him most was their former Captain... John was actually in the Ghost Mercenaries too!

And he joined voluntarily!

Cheetah thought about the possibility of meeting his predecessor inside. If he joined the Ghosts next, he might actually get to meet him!

"Esteemed friend... might I ask who you are? Are you also one of the Ghost Mercenaries?"

"Could you introduce me? I also wish to join the Ghosts..."

"You can name any condition. I have already been abandoned by those high-ranking officials in the Pretty Country."

Or perhaps describing it as outright fleeing would be more accurate.

Besides going to find his good elder brother, the other reason was that by joining the Ghost Mercenaries, he could secure a stable life.

Even if it meant facing a hail of bullets, he would rather face gunfire than the terrifying wolves of Wall Street, those who ate people without spitting out the bones.

In response, Lin Heng thought for a moment.

Then, he did not admit his identity.

After all...

Lin Heng had mentioned this to others before, but they simply didn't believe him.

In the end, Lin Heng could only speak faintly.

"Regarding my status within the Ghost Mercenaries, you don't need to guess. You will know eventually. However, concerning your joining the Ghost Mercenaries, to be honest, you aren't qualified yet."

Huh?

His status as a former SEAL Team Captain wasn't enough?

He was momentarily speechless.

Although he knew the threshold for the Ghost Mercenaries was high, he never imagined it would be this high!

He quickly knitted his brows.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Heng continue.

"However, it's not entirely impossible. Seeing as it's for the sake of your elder brother John, I still intend to give you a chance."

Heh heh...

Hearing this, Cheetah's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy simply wanted to use him for something... Did he really think he knew nothing?

However... using this opportunity to break away from the control of the Pretty Country wasn't too big of an issue.

Thus, even though he knew he was being used, Cheetah didn't say much at this moment.

Furthermore... he was clearly no match for the other party.

It was better to be obedient for now.

If things really didn't work out, he could always switch sides at the critical moment—that was also an option!

"Fine, tell me..."

The other party quickly nodded.

"I want you to go back and act as a mole next to General Max."

Huh!?

Cheetah's expression quickly changed upon hearing this.

Good heavens?

Had this guy lost his mind?

Any clear-sighted person knew that General Sam of South Africa was continuously breaking through the defenses of North Africa, and he was bound to sweep through everything next.

Although General Max had professional weapons and powerful munitions... in this small area, he absolutely couldn't defeat those people from South Africa.

And the Sam Tribe wasn't without black technology either...

It was hard to say who would ultimately win or lose.

Moreover, the people from the Pretty Country initially never thought these barbarians could shake their second-place status, so they didn't construct any fortifications at the start.

As a result, they now had almost no defense at all, facing the attacks from the African tribes...

It was really hard to predict what the outcome of this battle would be.

But in his view, the Pretty Country would likely not be a match for those people and would have to retreat to the sea, planning for the long term...

If he went back, he would probably just be drifting around on the sea.

It was not impossible that General Max, unable to stand his leisure, might find some excuse to kill him.

"What? You can't do it?"

Just as Cheetah's thoughts were racing, Lin Heng narrowed his eyes.

Lin Heng said very calmly.

"I can't do it?"

Cheetah chuckled.

"Since this is a pledge of allegiance, then I accept it!"

Quickly, he touched his neck, where blood was oozing. If he didn't bandage it immediately, the consequences would be dire.

This guy...

But Lin Heng quickly handed over a bandaged dressing with medicine on it.

"Use this. It will heal faster."

Tsk...!

Cheetah looked at Lin Heng with a complex expression, then quickly took the item.

"Thank you."

"For this matter, I will certainly serve you well."

"Heh heh... If you want to serve me well, then don't thank me for this piece of bandage. You should thank your good elder brother John instead. He is the real reason I didn't kill you just now."

Hiss...!

Cheetah subconsciously gasped at Lin Heng's words.
