Chapter 665: Chapter 664 Prince Harry’s Friend
"The enemy reinforcements have arrived, and Jamie and I were forced to leave the high ground. You guys better move fast."
Jamie’s voice spread through the communication device.
At this moment, Umekawa Taro and the three Xu brothers had reached a state where they would strike down any deity or Buddha in their path, sweeping through the stronghold with powerful, unstoppable momentum.
"Be careful on your own. With a hostage like Prince Harry in hand, we won’t have any problems," Yang Fei said into the communication device.
"Seven military aircraft have arrived, all equipped with heavy-caliber weapons and ammunition. We can only hide," Jamie said.
Jie Er’s voice also came through, "This prince from the UAE is really something—such military power could steamroll many cities."
"It’s useless. After we’ve breached their defenses, they can only be steamrolled," Yang Fei said with a teasing laugh.
Jamie and Jie Er laughed out loud as well.
Facing such a high-difficulty mission only served to excite them.
Even though the number of enemies outside was increasing and their firepower was reaching astounding levels, as Yang Fei had said, as long as they had Prince Harry as a hostage, retreating with their whole bodies was not a big problem.
Three minutes later, Meris, with swollen cheeks, knelt before Yang Fei and the others.
When Umekawa Taro caught him, he tried to escape. But when Umekawa Taro caught up, he unexpectedly launched a surprise attack.
As one of the helmsmen of the Smith family, Meris was not the strongest in combat power, but he still had a respectable level. Unfortunately, Umekawa Taro’s strength was now much greater than his, and it only took two rounds to subdue him, leaving several slap marks on his face.
Prince Harry was also held by Xu Yunshan and could not break free.
In the spacious living room, there were only seven people left. The elites inside the stronghold were all taken care of, and Prince Harry witnessed the once seemingly invincible mercenaries being cut down like vegetables, and in his heart, he viewed these few individuals as deities.
"Prince Harry, you might not know me, but as one of the distinguished princes of the UAE, I know who you are," Yang Fei said, looking at Harry.
Prince Harry appeared relatively calm. He looked at Yang Fei and said, "Are you the legendary Madman King Tang?"
"It’s me."
"You are indeed mad, but you truly have the capital to be so," Harry said sincerely.
"Thank you. So, about us barging into your territory today, can you forgive us? I never intended to have any conflict with you, but unfortunately, the person we are looking for chose to hide here and dragged you into this," Yang Fei said.
Harry shook his head, "No, Meris is my friend. When he is in trouble, of course I cannot ignore him."
Yang Fei smiled slightly, "Friend? Shouldn’t it be more of a business partner? As far as I know, the two of you met through the arms trade and didn’t have much personal friendship outside of that."
"But he is indeed my friend," Harry insisted.
Kneeling on the ground, Meris was deeply touched.
Though he knew he was not going to live, the fact that Harry still considered him a friend under such circumstances touched and shamed him. After all, deep inside, he had no concept of true friendship.
In his belief, all friendships were built on mutual interests.
He and Harry had shared common interests, so they were friends.
"I know I don’t have a chance to live, but may I ask you for one thing?" Meris looked at Yang Fei.
Yang Fei’s mouth curled up, "Let’s hear it."
"I hid here originally wanting to survive, but I never thought I would drag Harry into this. He has no grudges against you, so could you let him go?" Meris said.
Yang Fei laughed, "That doesn’t sound like someone asking for a favor."
Meris was stunned, then shook his head, "Daniel and the others have already been killed by you. The information I know is the same as theirs, so if you want to get more information from me, you might be disappointed."
"So you mean to say, you have no chips to bargain with?" Yang Fei said coldly.
Meris sincerely shook his head.
"Then it’s worthless," Yang Fei said indifferently.
Umekawa Taro decisively swung his sword.
A head rolled off into the distance.
Harry’s already pale face turned even paler, his lips going white as well.
He was no stranger to killing, but this close-up view of a beheading, live and accompanied by that pungent smell of blood, still made him feel uneasy.
"There should be no problem sending us off safely, right?" Yang Fei asked, looking at Harry.
Harry slowly came back to his senses and looked deeply at Yang Fei. "Do you want to take me hostage?"
"Heh, we’re here for revenge, not kidnapping. Although your family is rich, it’s unfortunate that none of us seem to be short of money," Yang Fei said with a smile.
If the other party had said they were taking the opportunity to make a quick buck from a kidnapping, Harry wouldn’t have been too concerned; but hearing that they weren’t short of money and seemingly uninterested in it, made Harry somewhat panic.
"Can I... live?" Harry asked.
Yang Fei looked at him and said, "Do you want to live?"
Harry nodded.
He was the esteemed prince of a tribal chief, not only possessing immense wealth but also holding tremendous power here. More importantly, he was not even thirty, still young with plenty of life’s pleasures to enjoy.
"Then just cooperate nicely," Yang Fei patted his shoulder.
Harry immediately nodded.
He had witnessed the courage of these few men and knew that even without his cooperation, the hope of completely stopping them was not great.
They made it clear they were after Meris. If his people hurt them but failed to capture them all, it would simply provoke a terrifying group of enemies.
For a rich and noble prince like him, the last thing he wanted was to provoke dire outlaws.
"Osai, can you hear me?" Prince Harry found a walkie-talkie and, after turning it on, spoke into the device.
"Prince, are you alright?" came the concerned voice from the communication device.
"I’m fine, they didn’t come for me. Listen well, have everyone outside retreat immediately. Remember, a full retreat, and do not allow anyone to hinder these esteemed friends’ departure," Harry said.
There was a brief silence from the other side of the walkie-talkie, no response, as though contemplating whether there was another order hidden in these words.
Harry quickly said, "This is an order. They came for Meris, and now that they’ve achieved their goal, they don’t want any complications and just want to leave safely."
"Yes, I understand."
Osai, trying to be clever, added, "Those inside, listen up, as long as Prince Harry is unharmed, you can leave safely. But if you dare harm Prince Harry..."
"Shut up, Osai, shut your mouth this instance," Prince Harry got a big scare and quickly roared into the communication device: "They are now my esteemed friends; you are not to speak to them rudely."
"Yes, sorry!"
Yang Fei, Umekawa Taro, and Xu Yunshan, among others, smiled wryly.
Previously, Prince Harry kept calling Meris a friend, and now Meris’s head was on the ground, yet he already had become friends with Yang Fei and the others.
Umekawa Taro couldn’t help saying, "It seems Prince Harry really likes making friends. I’m happy for those friends of yours."
Harry gave an awkward smile and changed the subject, "I’ll take you out."
