317: Chapter 317

The person who arrived was Lin Heng.

His gaze was calm as he coldly watched the two groups of people gathered together, on the verge of fighting.

"National Advisor..."

The Black soldiers immediately became respectful upon seeing Lin Heng.

A smile even appeared on his face.

Then, he coldly pointed a finger at the US Officer.

"It's this guy; he wanted to force his way through the checkpoint! We stopped him."

The US Officer let out a chuckle.

He stopped looking at the Black soldier and instead looked at Lin Heng with a slight hint of interest.

"You are Mr. Lin Heng, right?"

"I have heard of you. If it weren't for you, I don't think they could have achieved unification in Africa."

"Otherwise, our General Max might have taken it over directly with just a mobile unit of a thousand men!"

Although he held some admiration for what Lin Heng had done, from his few words, he didn't think it was anything extraordinary.

The praise for Lin Heng was merely verbal.

Furthermore, judging by the tone of the US Officer, this fellow completely looked down on Lin Heng.

Lin Heng didn't feel anything inappropriate about this.

He just waved his hand lightly.

"It was just a matter of luck, plus General Max and the others were truly foolish enough to fall into the same trap twice. That's something I didn't expect either."

"As for unifying Africa... I dare not comment on such a thing. I can only say that perhaps some small suggestions of mine were approved by Chieftain Sam. In reality, I didn't expect things to turn out this way either."

"If one must say, the reason Pretty Country's long-term strategic deployment failed is likely due to an issue in some aspect. If another attempt were made, I hope you can still hire some University Students from the Dragon Country."

"After all, our Dragon Country's University Students face quite a bit of employment pressure. If the bosses of Pretty Country could offer a job opportunity to a Dragon Country University Student, I think that might become an important cornerstone of friendly exchange between our two countries!"

Lin Heng said with a serious expression.

However, Lubisang and the others clearly observed a distinct change in the US Officer's expression.

Good heavens...

His face actually turned green...

"Amazing! When National Advisor was still Military Advisor, I often heard him talk about 'sword fights with lips'... At first, I didn't know what it meant, but now I see... I have the answer."

Lubisang and the others immediately gave Lin Heng a thumbs-up.

"Hmph!"

"I will definitely report Mr. Lin Heng's suggestion to my superiors..."

The other party spoke with a cold face and an unfriendly tone.

After snorting, he continued:

"Alright, let's stop this idle chatter. This time we are here to exchange hostages."

"I have already brought the warship for you..."

"Where are our General Max and the envoy from Pretty Country?!"

"We delivered the goods within the hour as per your agreement. You, the dignified National Advisor of Africa, shouldn't go back on your word, right?"

The US Officer questioned.

Upon hearing this, Lin Heng just waved his hand lightly.

"What National Advisor... I don't want it either. Those people just forced it on me. Pretty Country still has some international image; don't speak carelessly."

Lin Heng spoke righteously.

The other party's mouth twitched.

Good heavens...

He's even trying to distance himself and Africa from this.

Even he, the US Officer, hadn't expected this.

Only Lin Heng had such meticulous thinking.

The US Officer coughed once, "Our demand is very simple: release the people quickly!"

As soon as this was said, Lin Heng suddenly spoke up.

"Releasing them is fine, but we need to confirm first that there's nothing dangerous inside the warship!"

Lin Heng's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

The US Officer paused, and his expression changed slightly.

How did this guy know!?

The original plan was for them to directly blow up the current leaders of Africa in one go, Lin Heng included.

But what they didn't expect was that Lin Heng would actually bring a group of people over directly.

If it were only Lin Heng alone...

They might not necessarily be able to dismantle the political power of Africa.

And due to time constraints, almost all the explosives inside the warship were exposed.

So, once Lin Heng and his group boarded the ship, there would only be one option left.

Other than detonating the bombs, they had no second choice!

Hiss...!

He had encountered a thorny problem.

"What? Is there a ghost?"

Lin Heng just glanced coldly at the guy and spoke coldly.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have backed down by now.

However, the US Officer was clearly not an ordinary character.

He recovered his expression in just a moment.

To Lin Heng's question, he just smiled faintly.

"Heh heh, Mr. Lin Heng... If it were just you alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't work."

"If you board the ship and say our warship has a problem, who are we supposed to reason with?"

"Don't think we don't know your tricks!"

"Since you dare to detain our people, holding our warship hostage is just a matter of a single word. Anyway, these Black people listen to you, so we dare not be careless,"

The US Officer grinned.

He understood playing hard to get too well.

However...

Lin Heng, who had maintained a smile, quickly narrowed his eyes.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

"Do you think I am begging you to do something?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the area quickly turned much colder.

Even the US Officer subconsciously shivered.

Lin Heng's aura... was terrifyingly strong!

"Our National Advisor is speaking to you, are you deaf?"

Soon, Lubisang and the others noticed that the surrounding atmosphere seemed wrong, so they quickly raised their AKs and aimed them at the US Officer and his men.

The people from Pretty Country were naturally unwilling to show weakness and immediately raised their guns.

Swish swish swish!

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense!

It seemed as if the next sentence could lead to an immediate firing of weapons.

Regarding this, Lin Heng maintained a calm expression.

Seeing this scene, the US Officer could only admire that a person like Lin Heng was indeed capable of achieving great things.

So, he smiled coldly.

"Mr. Lin Heng, do you really think our Pretty Country is so easy to bully?"

But Lin Heng had no intention of backing down.

He said coldly: "At worst, we fight. We in Africa are very confident we can keep everyone here, including the warship!"
