Chapter 3693: Digging Deeper

"Mr. Jock is kidding. It's just a rookie mercenary group. There's no need to scare me. I just had other important things to do before. If Teng opens his hand, I will deal with him immediately."

"Yes, you, Freiman, really didn't disappoint me. Then I will wait for your news here."

Freiman promised Jock that he would solve the battle as quickly as possible and send Xu Qiang's head to Jock as a thank you gift.

With his promise to Jock, this time Jock promised Freiman that the price of the next batch of arms provided to him would be reduced by 20%.

This made Freiman very excited. Reducing the price by 20% could save him a lot of money.

The order for the battle has been issued. They will set off from the base at six o'clock two days later. During these two days, the members of the mercenary group will repair at the base and wait for the order to set off.

The next morning, when it was just dawn, the captain of a team of the mercenary group hurried over.

Freman was resting in the room. The urgent knock on the door woke him up from his sleep. After getting up, Freman opened the door impatiently.

He had an angry expression on his face. He hated others disturbing him when he was resting. If there was anything important, he had to wait until he woke up.

"I want to remind you that if you don't have anything important to report to me, what will happen if you disturb my good dream? You should all understand."

The subordinate nodded. Everyone has seen the strange and arrogant temper of this general.

Because he encountered something special, he hurried to find Freman to report the news, hoping that Freman could make a decision.

"The general is in trouble. Rumors have been heard from many places on the mercenary battlefield."

"It's just a rumor. You are so anxious. Go and get the punishment yourself."

The subordinate took a few breaths. If it was just a few insignificant rumors, he would not be so anxious to find Freman and make trouble.

"General, please listen to me. These rumors are all about our Flame Mercenary Group. It seems that someone is deliberately targeting us."

There are many contents in the rumors, among which are related to the secrets of the Flame Mercenary Group. Once spread, it is equivalent to revealing its ugliest side.

When the Flame Mercenary Group was first established, its strength was not very strong. In order to expand its territory, Freyman used his own conspiracy and secretly sent people to attack the leaders of several mercenary groups.

Let these people fight each other, and finally Freyman took advantage of the situation and cleaned up four powerful mercenary groups. After this incident, the Flame Mercenary Group stood up directly.

However, such an important secret is only known by a few people. The rumors circulating in the outside world are related to this matter.

"Asshole! Who dares to spread rumors about me? Do you really think I, Freeman, am easy to mess with?"

"General, it's not just that. The rumor is that our Flame Mercenary Group embezzled the bounty of the mission when we cooperated with an ally before."

This happened a few months ago. At that time, Xu Qiang and his team had not yet arrived here, and Freeman took on a bounty mission.

Because this mission was very complicated, he invited other forces, and the two sides worked together and agreed to split the final mission commission 60% to 40%.

But in the end, Freeman saw that the mission commission was more than 14 million, and he didn't want to give so much money to other people, so he secretly made some moves.

Send someone to assassinate the employer who issued the bounty mission, so that he could find an excuse that the other party did not give him the bounty of the mission, and naturally he didn't have to share the money with his allies.

These were all done by Freeman himself. He has been covering up the facts all the time and didn't want people outside to know.

Once the facts were made public, what serious consequences would there be? Freeman knew very well in his heart, and he did things perfectly, and he didn't worry about others noticing.

But now the news circulating outside has pointed the finger at him, Freeman. It is obvious that this is a planned action. At this moment, Freeman's face became deep.

The most annoying thing in this life is that someone is secretly calculating. After calming down, Freeman was thinking about who would do such a thing.

At the last moment, he thought of a person, that is, Deputy Perold who betrayed him and left the mercenary group before. Perold knew all the things he did.

"Did he do this?"

Perold left Freeman, and Freeman has been tracking his whereabouts, but he didn't find any clues.

According to his guess, Perold's ability will also have a foothold in other mercenary groups.

Xu Qiang's new mercenary group will not enter his eyes. Before the news is confirmed, everything is just his guess.

"Have you caught the person who spread the rumor?"

"No, the person who spread the rumor is not here. It is still hundreds of kilometers away from our base."

At such a long distance, the people of his Flame Mercenary Group are strong, and their hands cannot reach such a long distance to catch them.

Moreover, there are mercenary groups operating in these places where rumors are spread, which makes the situation much more complicated. Freeman frowned.

"Find a way to find those who spread the rumors and calm this storm."

"The general may not be caught. The most troublesome thing now is that these rumors have caused too much negative impact on us. Some people involved in the rumors have called to ask for punishment."

The subordinate did not know the specific situation. In fact, the rumors were all true facts.

But he, Freeman, would certainly not admit that he had done it. Those who were deceived would come to him to settle accounts at that time. The consequences of angering everyone would be very troublesome.

"What did you say?"

"I said that the general was resting. I can't make the decision on this matter. The rumors from the outside world must be people with ulterior motives. They want to sow discord and fabricate such lies."

Freeman was very satisfied with the answer of this subordinate. It was more appropriate to use such words to deal with those who called to question at a critical moment.

"Yes, your answer is very good. Although I don't know who is calculating us behind the scenes, you have made a contribution in this matter. I will reward you well later."

"Thank you, General!"

I was originally planning to take a nap, but this mood was completely disturbed. He had to personally come forward for this matter.

We have to get rid of these people anyway and calm down the rumors. We have an important operation tomorrow and don't want such an accident to disrupt the well-made plan.

After getting up and getting dressed, Freeman is still the general of the mercenary group, and he exudes an air of arrogance when he walks.
