Chapter 1690 - 1690
Wen Bao paused, looked into the distance, nodded, and shook his head.
"Hmm, you're quite right. The underground world indeed holds risks. But isn't life full of risks whether in the light or the dark? Even someone as straight-laced as you can be arranged perfectly by others. Luckily, your fate is strong! Fortunate people naturally have heavenly protection!"
Liu Zhizhong said, "The heavens don't intend to end me; they let me live not to accept fate but to defy it! As the recent popular anime in the country says, 'My life is up to me, not the heavens. I always view life and death lightly, daring to go against the heavens, right?'
"Haha..."
Wen Bao laughed heartily, giving a thumbs-up, "With that said, are you planning something big, sir?"
"Well, by the way..." Liu Zhizhong said as he casually extinguished the cigarette, gazing at Wen Bao, "By the way, can Mr. Lavin join us?"
"Uh..."
Wen Bao was once again shocked, "Involving me? Planning something big?"
Liu Zhizhong pointed to the wall of the lounge, where there were two maps: one of the world and the other of Kachin City, also with a conspicuous sense of Vallebang's borders.
He said, "Do you see Vallebang?"
"Hmm, I see it. What then...?"
"Brother, tell me, this 200,000 square kilometers of subtropical area, is it enough to establish a nation? Enough to establish an identity, then return home legitimately and safely to speak on equal terms with the top tier?"
"Damn..."
Wen Bao quivered all over, stood up swiftly, and then sat down again, looking utterly astonished.
"Brother... you this..."
He is a smart person and naturally understood Liu Zhizhong's meaning.
"Brother, I know you are an extraordinary person, yet I never imagined that having fallen to these circumstances, you'd still harbor such ambitious plans! I've maneuvered throughout Southeast Asia, but never have I dared to consider such things. Seems like my vision has been too small!"
Liu Zhizhong smiled humbly, becoming exceedingly composed, "Brother, you flatter me! I'm not going back right now because I've been pondering these issues and directions, increasingly finding it feasible. Additionally, if you were to get involved, it would greatly aid the transformation of identity. If one day, you become one of the founding fathers in the Wale Republic, there'd be no more risks, living comfortably without worries."
"This..." Wen Bao rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat excited, "As you say, it's very tempting! But ultimately, I'm still a mere warrior, comfortable in the underground world with fighting and killing, but to truly help you conquer Vallebang and unify 200,000 square kilometers of land, I really lack the capability! I'm afraid I'll have to rely on your guidance, playing the role of a pawn, haha..."
"Brother, you are modest. Your position is crucial now, serving as the intermediary between me and the outside world. Using your identity can bring in a lot of funds for me, including arms and such. Simultaneously, your identity can also obtain a lot of intelligence. Of course, when necessary, you're the most suitable for unconventional maneuvers."
"There's no problem with these things. However, you must carefully consider that there are over a dozen warlords in Vallebang, deeply rooted and intertwined, not easy to deal with. Firstly, we don't have enough manpower. I'm just a warrior, but I understand well the principle that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
