Arknights is too real, right?

After spending 10 yuan to take a taxi, Xia Feng arrived at the casino on time at noon as agreed.

Because it was daytime, there was no one on the first floor of the casino at this time. Xia Feng ignored the waiter who wanted him to exchange chips and went straight to the stairs.

"My name is Xia Feng."

With these five names, Xia Feng reached the fifth floor unimpeded.

Different from the lower floors, the structure on the fifth floor is composed of independent rooms, which should be similar to VIP boxes.

Guided by the waiter, Xia Feng stepped on the luxurious carpet and arrived at the end of the corridor. In front of the last door, there were six bodyguard-looking people in black.

As if he knew Xia Feng was coming, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the room. Xia Feng remembered that this man was the person who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car yesterday.

This man was obviously not young, he looked to be at least forty years old, and his demeanor revealed a calmness and ability.

Standing in front of Xia Feng, the man bowed slightly to him to show courtesy.

"Hello, Mr. Xia Feng, my name is Reddy, and I am Mr. Rich's assistant."

Xia Feng looked at him casually.

"Hello, hello, where's Richie?"

"Mr. Rich is inside and has been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, sorry, there's a bit of a traffic jam on the road."

Under Reddy's guidance, Xia Feng walked into this luxurious room.

In fact, decoration, when it reaches a certain level of luxury, loses its original meaning. Just like the blue shimmering wall material of this room, and the precise furnishings that Xia Feng cannot even name, no need to Wen also knew that the prices of these items must have a lot of zeros, but in his eyes, these things couldn't be seen as awesome at all. At best, they were just show-offs.

However, in order to match the script, he had to pretend to be very greedy for the money in front of him.

In the room, Richie sat on a gorgeous chair and closed his eyes to meditate. There was a cup of tea on the table next to him.

Hearing the noise, Richie opened his eyes and glanced at Xia Feng who walked in.

"You came."

"coming."

"Sit down and do whatever you want."

Xia Feng was not polite to him and sat down next to him.

Richie picked up the cup of tea next to him and took a sip.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Xia Feng thought that seeing this guy's strength, he would start talking to him about a lot of things, but he didn't expect that he would ask so directly. It was so easy.

Later, Xia Feng made his intention to join the Frido Chamber of Commerce very clear.

He claimed that he was a Colombian and once worked as a mercenary at Black Steel International. Because of his mission, he entered a natural disaster area and became an infected person. While becoming stronger, he knew that his life was passing quickly. In order to enjoy the rest of his life, he gave up. He became a mercenary and wanted to quickly gain wealth through the power of his infected people.

After many twists and turns, he came to Victoria to join his friends. Then he learned about the existence of the Frido Chamber of Commerce and had the idea of ​​joining.

Xia Feng described his personal resume in the first half of his life in a clear and concise manner, describing some details in great detail. It also included the brotherhood of several former comrades in arms, and even elaborated on the conflict between values ​​and human nature.

After talking for about half an hour, Xia Feng finally finished telling the story he had planned in advance.

He picked up an empty teacup next to him.

"Is there still water? Give me some. I haven't spoken so many words in one breath for a long time. My throat is dry."

Richie signaled with his eyes, and Reddy, who was standing next to him, immediately poured tea for Xia Feng.

Watching Xia Feng drink two cups of tea in a row, Richie finally asked his first question.

"Young man, since you want to gain wealth quickly, there should be other ways based on your strength. Why do you have to work under me?"

Xia Feng replied immediately.

"Oh, it's like this. I've loved fighting and killing since I was a child. Being a mercenary was completely enjoyable. Until I became an infected person, the feeling of wandering on the edge of life and death all day suddenly made me a little tired. Now, rather than bringing death to others, I now want to bring fear to others, a battlefield between difference and life and death. I want to make my way in a complex city and experience the feeling of calling the wind and rain."

Hearing Xia Feng's arrogant words, Rich suddenly let out a chuckle.

"Oh, even I can't reach the level of being able to control the wind and rain. I may be able to do it in the small city of Happy, but looking at the entire south, my name, Richie, is just an ordinary name."

"Boss Rich, you are too humble."

"I'm telling the truth. I can see that you make no secret of your ambition. Young man, it's a good thing to be ambitious, but there are some things I want to remind you in advance. If you follow me, you may not be able to achieve the kind of influence you expect. Degree."

Xia Feng waved his hand indifferently.

"That's nothing. You can't do it because your former younger brother couldn't do it. Now that I'm here, as long as I can call the wind and rain, then as the boss, won't you just go back to the west? Oh no, bah bah bah, this The metaphor is inappropriate, I mean you just spiraled off on the spot."

"Okay, stop talking."

Xia Feng's words were like talking nonsense, making Rich somewhat unable to discern his intentions. He did not follow routines and broke away from routine, but this was in line with the impression Xia Feng had given him since his appearance last night.

Richie closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then took a sip of tea.

"So, you put so much effort into joining, besides money, do you just want to experience the pleasure of being a superior person commanding others?"

"Not entirely."

"Well? What else?"

Xia Feng could have answered this question vaguely, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted to answer it seriously. This answer sounded like it was for Richie, but in fact, it was more like it was for himself.

Xia Feng's eyes moved downward, as if he recalled someone's figure in his mind.

"I have a lost friend in Victoria. She may think that I am dead, but I don't want to simply appear in front of her now and just tell her that I am still alive."

"Why?"

A slight smile appeared on Xia Feng's face, as if he was recalling some past events, and then his eyes became firm.

"There was a time when she existed within my reach, but what she really carried and faced was beyond my reach. She was the lion king who strategized and fought in the whirlpool of destiny, and I , is just an ant under the grass, she can only look up and cannot interfere. Her eyes can see where the sun rises, which is a scenery that I could never see from my height."

The past events of Mandal City are vivid in my mind, including laughter, tears, regrets and farewells.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Feng puffed up his chest.

"Fate has changed, and I am no longer the person I used to be, so this time, I don't want to be the person at the bottom of the group. I, Huo Yu Xia Feng, want to stand at the top, shoulder to shoulder with her."
