<h4>Chapter 1744: Chapter 1745: Mission from Number One</h4>


    "You’d better not have too much faith in me, or it’ll be too much pressure," Xiang Yu said, leaning against the window sill.


    "You rascal." Number One chuckled and said, "If you’re short of manpower on your end, I can send a team over to support you."


    Xiang Yu felt a stir in his heart upon hearing this. If Number One sends a team over, the power on his side would instantly grow stronger.


    But while the team grows, it alsoes with certain risks.


    Number One wouldn’t send a team over for no reason, surely there’s a difficult mission.


    Moreover, if Number One sends over a team, it could lead to the team not following orders. After all, they are the nation’s soldiers, Xiang Yu is the mercenary group’s leader, and deep down, they wouldn’t obey Xiang Yu’s arrangements.


    And the most important point is, Xiang Yu worries Number One might send people over to monitor him.


    "Better not send people over, it could easily arouse suspicion among others," Xiang Yu said.


    "Are you sure you don’t need support?" Number One asked.


    "Absolutely certain," Xiang Yu replied firmly.


    "Alright, it’s only up to you and your team’s efforts then." Number One sighed and said, "Last time, was the money I sent over still enough?"


    Xiang Yu was speechless for a moment, the money Number One had sent overst time was spent rather quickly, but luckily, they could be self-sufficient now.


    "I don’t need the money anymore, better to keep it for the nation to strengthen national defense," Xiang Yu said solemnly.


    "Hmm, I like that line. As a soldier of the nation, one should have thoughts entirelymitted to the country, and never forget that you are a soldier of China," Number One said with vigor.


    Xiang Yu knew, Number One was talking so much with him because there was a mission that needed him.


    Sure enough, aftermenting about the general decrease in military funding, Number One said, "Xiang Yu, there’s a mission you need to undertake now."


    "Chief, go ahead," Xiang Yu replied straightforwardly.


    Deep down, Xiang Yu had always considered himself a soldier of China, continuously working behind the scenes to maintain the peace and stability of the mothend.


    "Next year, we’ll have a grand military parade with profound significance. But ording to what we know, some international organizations want to sabotage our parade on that day, your task is to investigate these organizations and thenpletely eliminate them," Number One said very seriously.


    "Chief, is there any specific information about this organization?" Xiang Yu asked.


    After all, if it’s an international organization, the scope is too broad, and with Xiang Yu’s current strength, it’s almost impossible to investigate.


    "There’s no information at all, we got this intel by chance. Your workload is substantial, you must eliminate all threats before the parade next year," Number One said.


    Xiang Yu felt the pressure too, after all, the nation’s military parade is something that draws worldwide attention and is a significant event.


    It concerns a nation’s dignity, and its position in the world.


    If someone disrupts it at this time, it would greatly impact the nation’s reputation and its future development.


    "I will do my utmost to find them," Xiang Yu said very seriously.


    He couldn’t guarantee he’d definitely find them, considering his limited strength. But he would do everything possible.


    "What I want is not the utmost effort but certainty," Number One said very seriously.


    Xiang Yu sighed and said, "Number One, you know my current situation, I’m at risk of getting eliminated anytime, if I guarantee I’ll find them, then I’m deceiving you."


    Number One knew Xiang Yu was telling the truth, he sighed and said, "Understood, I’ll send others to investigate this matter, you just need to give your best effort."


    "Understood," Xiang Yu replied.


    The two chatted about other matters, Number One inquired about Xiang Yu’s development situation.


    Of course, Xiang Yu couldn’t disclose everything to Number One, he hid part of his strength.


    Although Number One is his senior officer, ever since the incident with Commander Cao, he developed a habit of being cautious against others.


    After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yu sat on the sofa after pondering for a while.


    Wu Jing and a few others noticed Xiang Yu remained silent; they refrained from asking further. They sensed Xiang Yu seemed to oftenmunicate with a mysterious person, but as for whom, they didn’t want to know much.


    "Wu Jing, head back now and oversee the brothers’ training situation. Things have been a bit chaotic in Little Ba recently, make sure they don’t get into trouble," Xiang Yu said.


    Wu Jing nodded and said, "Don’t worry, Brother Yu, I’ll ensure they train well."


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "I see the brothers of the second team are about ready, they can be stationed at Base Two."


    Base Two was taken over from the Power Mercenary Group because the second team’s members were newly recruited and slightly unreliable at the time, hence, weren’t rushed there.


    Now, after this period of honing, they are equipped for stationing at the base.


    "Brother Yu, recently we’ve seen an increase in people wanting to join our organization, should we continue to expand?" Wu Jing consulted.


    Amidst the chaos in Little Ba, some small organizations quickly disintegrated, seeking reliable mercenary groups to join.


    Xiang Yu nodded and said, "Follow previous recruitment standards, nopromise."


    Wu Jing nodded, then stood up and walked outside.


    Currently, they are notcking funding, but manpower. Since Xiang Yu has agreed, they need to expand significantly.


    After the confrontation with the rebels, Xiang Yu deeply realized an issue, which is the importance of infiltrators.


    If he hadn’t been infiltrating the rebels and informed Rumus, Rumus’s troops might have facedplete annihtion.


    Simrly, if Keru hadn’t infiltrated their ranks, the leaders might not have faced the life-or-death crisis they did.


    Realizing this, Xiang Yu knew that during their expansion, they needed to pay even greater attention to this point.


    "Xiao Xuan, speed up the intelligencework construction, your role is crucial," Xiang Yu said.


    Currently, Xiao Xuan is responsible for intelligence collection, although it’s already taking shape, there’s still ample room for development.


    "Got it, Brother, I’m off now," Xiao Xuan said, standing up.


    Xiang Yu nodded in agreement.


    Xiao Xuan went outside, drove away, and just as he was about to exit the main gate, he saw Rumus arriving alone in his car.


    He didn’t stop, just called Xiang Yu briefly to report and then left.


    As for Rumus’s visit, Xiang Yu wasn’t surprised, this guy must be here to thank him.


    Rumus looked upset as if he’d lost money.


    "Commander, what’s with the gloomy face?" Xiang Yu smiled and asked when he saw him enter.


    "Nothing, just skipped breakfast," Rumus said casually.


    "Whoa, you’re not here looking to join us for a meal, are you? Let me tell you, we don’t serve food," Tie Zhuzi red from the side...
