<strong>Capítulo 1579: Chapter 1580: This Is a Road of No Return</strong>


    When the base of Commander Cao was destroyed, Xiang Yu and Wolf Fang had some contact. Now that Number One mentioned them, he listened carefully.


    “Many small countries have some connection with Wolf Fang. Wolf Fang ensures their peace and stability,” Number One said calmly.


    Seeing Xiang Yu frown, Number One smiled lightly and said, “Don’t be surprised, there’s a lot you don’t know about international affairs.”


    Xiang Yu didn’t understand why a dignified nation would have dealings with Wolf Fang. After all, though powerful, Wolf Fang is just a mercenary organization.


    “Do you understand what I mean now?” Number One asked, looking at Xiang Yu.


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, “It’s like society, where many businesses pay people on the **** for protection.”


    Number One nodded with a smile and said, “That’s about right.”


    “So who do we rely on?” Xiang Yu asked curiously.


    Number One smiled and said, “We don’t rely on anyone. Many organizations have approached us, but we’ve turned them all down. How could a great nation leave its security in the hands of others?”


    Number One spoke with unconcealed confidence and pride in his eyes.


    Xiang Yu also nodded, agreeing with Number One’s view.


    “I called you here today because of these matters,” Number One said, looking at Xiang Yu expectantly.


    Xiang Yu gave an awkward smile and said, “I’m just a soldier. I don’t understand international affairs.”


    Knowing what kind of person Number One was, he could read Xiang Yu’s mind and smiled, “Don’t think I know nothing. Who is the secret boss behind the Yuran Group? Who is the chairman of the Honglu Group? What’s the situation with the Tianlong Squad?”


    Xiang Yuughed awkwardly, thinking he had hidden everything well, only to find Number One knew it all.


    “This…”


    Just as Xiang Yu was about to speak, Number One stopped him with a gesture and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t get involved or interfere. These two groups have contributed greatly to the nation.”


    Number One acknowledged Xiang Yu’s contributions. He unified domestic disputes, brought peace to society, and the two groups boosted local taxes and provided jobs for many people.


    This also contributed to the country’s stability efforts.


    Most importantly, Xiang Yu’s initial motivation was the nation’s stability, which ismendable.


    At the time, Number One decided to entrust him with this daunting task after analyzing these reasons.


    Since Number One already knew, Xiang Yu saw no need to hide anything and said, “I’m a soldier. It’s my duty to protect the nation’s peace and stability.”


    Number One was very satisfied with Xiang Yu’s response and nodded, “You should have guessed why I called you.”


    Despite everything Number One said, Xiang Yu still couldn’t imagine, so he shook his head, “Not sure.”


    Number One took a sip of tea, shook his head, and smiled, “It’s not that you don’t know, you just can’t believe it. Yes, I want you to establish a power internationally.”


    After hearing this, Xiang Yu felt like he was struck by a thunderbolt from the sky, leaving him at a loss.


    “You don’t want me to create an organization like Wolf Fang, do you?” Xiang Yu asked, unable to imagine.


    Number One nodded, “More or less. Wolf Fang is an international organization, far from simple as what you see. That’s the direction for your efforts.”


    Xiang Yu couldn’t quite react, standing there with a half-open mouth for a while.


    “As I said, the world situation is severe. We urgently need an organization outside the nation to get things done,” Number One put down the cup and looked at Xiang Yu seriously.


    Now was the time for Xiang Yu to make a choice. Although Number One initially said it was Xiang Yu’s choice—he could voluntarily ept or refuse.


    But Xiang Yu knew he had no choice but to ept. The consequences would be unimaginable otherwise.


    This is a state secret among secrets, or Number One would not have made ate-night international call for Xiang Yu to return immediately.


    Perhaps Number One thought discussing this in this room was the safest way; all othermunication could be eavesdropped on.


    Moreover, such matters should not involve the state.


    Xiang Yu was still stunned, unable to clear his mind as he reyed everything Number One said in his mind.


    Number One was very patient. After speaking, he leaned back on the sofa, quietly waiting for Xiang Yu’s answer.


    A few minutester, Xiang Yu finally snapped out of his shock and poured himself a ss of water, drinking it down in one gulp.


    “You can make any requests,” Number One said when he saw Xiang Yu regained rity.


    This was a mission with no retreat. If he refused, the name Xiang Yu would cease to exist in this world.


    “I need money,” Xiang Yu said frankly, expressing his thoughts directly.


    Though he had the two groups as backing, money was crucial to establishing an organization. He didn’t want to use the group’s money, as that was Sun Bo’s hard-earned effort.


    Upon hearing Xiang Yu’s straightforwardness, Number One smiled, feeling relieved. Earlier, he was tense, fearing Xiang Yu might hesitate.


    If Xiang Yu refused this task, Number One wouldn’t show mercy.


    Since Xiang Yu asked for money, it meant he agreed.


    “I’ll pay you a sum directly to yourpany, but I won’t be involved in the future development or provide any support. Do you understand?” Number One said.


    Xiang Yu nodded.


    Xiang Yu understood Number One’s meaning. Once the organization was established, it wouldn’t have any ties to the nation.


    It was a decision solely by Xiang Yu, to survive independently, but he must appear when the nation needs.


    “Xiang Yu, you must remember, you are a soldier of your country,” Number One said solemnly.


    Xiang Yu nodded, “I promise toplete the mission.”


    At that moment, Xiang Yu seemed to return to the past. Commander Cao had also given him a daunting task, and he said those words then.


    Often, he just wanted to be an ordinary person, living a simple life, getting married and having children.


    But reality told him that was no longer possible for him.


    Seeing the determination in Xiang Yu’s eyes, Number One nodded, “As for the matters at home, rest assured, I’ll ensure the group’s safety.”


    Xiang Yu nodded, saying nothing more. He could view it as Number One’s goodwill or as a threat.


    Of course, Number One became Number One because he wouldn’t resort to threatening Xiang Yu.


    “Don’t call me if there’s nothing important,” Number One said tly.


    Xiang Yu nodded, knowing the future would be challenging, but he had to shoulder it all by himself.


    Number One stood up, walked to Xiang Yu, sat down beside him, and ced a hand on Xiang Yu’s shoulder like a friend, “The nation needs warriors like you.”


    At that moment, Xiang Yu just smiled faintly, with no restraint between him and Number One…
