Upon hearing Xu Haishui mention the recording, the originally angry expression on Chou Taifei’s face instantly turned ugly.
Not only Chou Taifei but also the members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group were the same.
When Captain Wang Hongjun saw this scene, he had no doubts who was lying.
As Xu Haishui was speaking on this side, he had already turned on the holographic projection and then played a video clip.
Everyone watched this holographic projection with different moods, but one person was an exception.
Shen Han raised the wrist computer in her hand, glanced at the time, and frowned slightly.
“I’ll head down first.” She whispered to Fang Tianhe.
Fang Tianhe nodded. He was worried about Lin Xinghai. Indeed, he needed someone to go there first.
Just like that, Shen Han entered the elevator shaft in full view of everyone, took the elevator, and left. Naturally, Chou Taifei could not stop her this time.
As for Wang Hongjun, although he frowned when he saw this scene, he didn’t say anything when he saw the rest of the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group standing there without moving.
The video wasn’t long, and it quickly played to the end. The entire sequence of events became clear as well.
In the face of such irrefutable evidence, no matter how shameless Chou Taifei was, there was no way he could deny it. In addition to this, what Xu Haishui said just now also made him very concerned.
It was because they knew what happened between Lin Xinghai and the Hatchet Gang that he learned to record the evidence in this way.
Hence, doesn’t that mean something went wrong with the Hatchet Gang’s plan, leaving unfavorable evidence behind?
After thinking of this, Chou Taifei had already reached out to Huai Feifu for clarity.
However, until the entire video was played, Huai Feifu did not reply, which made him feel a little more irritable.
“Chou Taifei, do you have anything else to say?” Wang Hongjun said at this time.
At this point, the whole situation became very clear, showing that it was unilaterally initiated by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group.
Although Fang Tianhe’s reaction was a bit extreme, mercenaries were a deadly profession. They might die outside in the next mission.
Therefore, let alone his extreme behavior; even if his personality was twisted, it could be understood as long as he could control himself and not harm others.
In response to Wang Hongjun’s questioning, Chou Taifei remained silent.
As if Wang Hongjun had expected it, he immediately said, “In this case, then according to the Public Security Law…”
“Wait a minute.” At this moment, Fang Tianhe interrupted, “According to the provisions of the Public Security Law, the maximum penalty for the actions of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group’s behavior is 10,000 points, and then they have to hunt 10,000 zombies without compensation. However, such a punishment is too lenient.”
Hearing this, Chou Taifei immediately raised his eyebrows. How is that a light punishment? For an ordinary level 1 mercenary group, this punishment spells doom already.
Not all level 1 mercenary groups were like Sky Fracture Mercenary Group, having strength comparable to level 2 mercenary groups. Many level 1 mercenary groups did not even have a mecha.
As for what Fang Tianhe said, let alone Chou Taifei, even Wang Hongjun was a little displeased after hearing it, “Fang Tianhe, what do you mean by this? If you are not satisfied with the result of my trial, you can go to the court…”
“Captain Wang, what I mean is, I want to challenge him to a fight to the death.” Fang Tianhe said.
His voice was not loud, but it was like dropping a bomb, causing many mercenaries to make an uproar.
Chou Taifei’s face turned ugly instantly, and even Wang Hongjun’s face showed a surprised look.
That referred to the life-and-death arena battle, which was dedicated to resolving irreconcilable conflicts between mercenaries.
For example, there was a conflict between the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group and the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. Who could guarantee that the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group wouldn’t retaliate later?
As long as both parties enter the arena, no responsibility would be held after any party’s death.
Of course, life-and-death arena battles were not something that could be issued casually. A fee of 10,000 points had to be paid before making the application. Regardless of the outcome, this fee wouldn’t be refunded.
After applying, if the opposing party agreed, the military would make arrangements.
Then, their life and death would be determined by destiny.
Of course, in more cases, the opponent would refuse to fight in the life-and-death arena. So, would the 10,000 points given away in vain? Of course not.
Refusing a life-and-death arena battle was equivalent to admitting defeat. In that case, the results of the life-and-death arena battles within the next three months were posted directly on the mercenary guild’s bulletin board, letting all the mercenary groups know that a certain mercenary had willingly admitted defeat.
This would leave significant damage to reputation, especially for some famous level 2 and level 3 mercenary groups.
Of course, some people didn’t care about reputation, but this was not the only punishment for voluntarily admitting defeat. The winning side would have many privileges when encountering the losing side.
For example, priority in the shooting range for practice, priority in renting the maintenance workshop, priority in logistics support and supplies, and so on.
Even in any public place, the winner could order the loser to leave.
For example, if Fang Tianhe won, then his appearance in the mercenary guild would prevent Chou Taifei, including the entire Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, from entering.
That also included restaurants, shopping venues, dance halls, etc.
In short, in any public setting, the winner would have those rights. Even if the winner stood on this street, he could demand that losers take a detour.
During this process, the losing side would also be monitored 24 hours a day by the patrolling drones. This was to prevent the losing side from using any shady means to retaliate.
This monitoring would last for three months before ending.
If the winning party felt unsatisfied or suspected that the losing side might seek revenge, they could continue to spend 10,000 points to submit another application, thus allowing for an endless cycle.
Simply put, this was a blatant survival of the fittest.
The only difference was that the weak were protected to some extent, at least not losing their lives.
After Fang Tianhe issued a fight to the death, Wang Hongjun was stunned for a moment. However, he immediately came back to his senses and verified the application.
Upon confirmation, Fang Tianhe paid a 10,000-point deposit.
Now, it was Chou Taifei’s turn to be in a dilemma.
The overall strength of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was greater than the Sky Fracture Mercenary Group.
However, for the life-and-death arena battle, Chou Taifei might agree to it if the two sides had not fought just now.
After he experienced Fang Tianhe’s strength personally, how could he dare to enter the arena?
In the end, after a prolonged silence, Chou Taifei turned around and left without saying a word. The other members of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group also hurriedly withdrew.
Wang Hongjun was not surprised by this. He turned to Tianhe and said, “Your application has been accepted. If the other party accepts the challenge, we will notify you in advance. If the other party does not respond within 24 hours, it will be deemed as surrender.”
“Furthermore, your application for the arena battle doesn’t conflict with the punishment for violating the Public Security Law. We will proceed with the legal procedures.”
“In addition, as the party involved, if you do not pursue this matter, we will reduce the punishment. I wonder if you…”
Before Wang Hongjun could finish his sentence, Fang Tianhe interjected firmly, “We’re pursuing this matter!”
Wang Hongjun nodded slightly and took notes, then gathered his team and left.
At this moment, Wu Yan and Xu Haishui gathered around Fang Tianhe.
They were filled with curiosity and had many questions about Fang Tianhe’s unusual behavior just now.
