Chapter 69
Provocation
"As expected, the Bald Eagle Association, having been provoked, will definitely send its strongest forces."
"I thought John and his two men were enough, but they actually sent three more teams with five sets of equipment."
"Hmph, not far off." Han Che turned off the live stream.
As Han Che had expected, the people he released relayed his words to the reporters.
Bald Eagle became the first top-tier club to be provoked by the map boss in the danger zone.
In an effort to salvage its stock price and reputation, Bald Eagle held a press conference immediately after confirming the personnel for tomorrow's operation.
The article deliberately exaggerated John's success in killing the warden.
They have temporarily stabilized the stock price, but they desperately need a complete and decisive victory to prove their dominance to the world.
[Prison balance: 610 million; Private account balance: 606 million]
After cleaning up the battlefield for the day, Han Che didn't rest for a moment. He tallied up the remaining funds.
The prison guards were then immediately deployed.
"Yes, that's right. The final battle zone can only be set in the core area."
"It's possible to gather all the surrounding areas in a short time, though it's not certain that we can manage to gather them all together."
"But their target was very clear: they were coming for me. They knew I would be in the core area."
"Besides, John and the others have X-ray vision, so they'll definitely be heading this way. This terrain is more suitable for us to fight."
Han Che discussed the final battle plan with Shi Ding and Shi Lei. Shi Ding said, "Your Excellency Warden, I fully agree with the terrain you chose..."
"But isn't this plan too risky? Especially given your location, it's far too dangerous."
He paused for a moment, then pointed to a mark on the map of Tide Prison on his desk. "Why don't I take over here, and you, Warden, can stay in the rear?"
Han Che shook his head and said, "If neither of you can do it, then this position can only be taken by me."
Shi Ding was about to say something more when Han Che immediately interrupted him, "It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but only I can do this position."
"Then let the guards accompany you!" Shi Lei raised his voice in front of the warden, a rare occurrence for him.
Han Che shook his head again. He had planned this all along, and he knew that Shi Ding would not agree, so he did not tell him the truth.
Even so, Shi Ding still opposed the warden taking action in this dangerous position.
Han Che thought to himself, "What I'm about to do is much more dangerous than you think, but how can I persuade him to stop?"
After all, this operation requires the close cooperation of all NPCs inside the prison.
Three Liu Liu sets equipped with cheat codes and AWMs, plus three teams of five sets.
It's not something that the warden can win by sheer force alone.
Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to resort to that tactic...
"Shi Ding, are you afraid of dying?" Han Che's words suddenly came out, startling Shi Ding.
"No...no! Your Excellency Warden, how could I be afraid of death?" Shi Ding anxiously raised his hands to his chest and waved them frantically.
Han Che placed his hands on the desk, his face dark, and slowly stood up.
"You should know best what kind of people these three operators from the Bald Eagle Association are."
"They used brain-computer interfaces, with despicable cheats, to kill our brothers."
"Dazhuang, how long has Dazhuang been dead? His body is barely cold!"
"Are you scared now? Are you afraid of dying now?"
"I'm not afraid! I, Warden Geheros, am not afraid!"
Han Che stood up, raised his right fist, and shouted loudly.
The five members of the warden's personal guard immediately felt their blood boil.
"Your Excellency the Warden... Your Excellency the Warden!" Shi Ding's voice even trembled with emotion.
"I was wrong, I understand your good intentions now."
"I'll go down and make the arrangements right away."
After saying that, Shi Ding led his personal guards out of the warden's office.
After watching the others leave, Han Che slowly put his feet down from the office chair.
Phew, thank goodness...
"Huh? Why haven't you left yet?"
"Your Excellency Warden," a deep voice came from behind the heavy metal armor, "your plan goes beyond this, doesn't it?"
"What do you mean, 'not just that'?" Han Che hadn't expected that the big guy was still in the corner of his office.
"Judging from the positions you've assigned to the warden's bodyguards, the numerous prison guards, and myself."
"The area you've assigned to yourself..."
"He's definitely going to die."
The voice behind the bulletproof mask was calm and collected.
"Tsk... How come you're even harder to fool than them?"
The burly man slowly put down the Gatling gun in his hand. "I won't fall for your provocation."
What is your last card?
Han Che was speechless. How did he know how to use reverse psychology?
He wanted to come up with another excuse, but seeing the earnest look in his eyes, he finally sighed.
"I originally planned to tell you after the prison opened, but my actions require your cooperation."
"I can tell you in advance, but you need to keep it a secret."
"I promise."
Looking at his serious expression, Han Che said earnestly,
"My hand is simple, I only have two cards."
"The first thing is money."
"You're the second one!"
Han Che pointed his finger at his forehead in the air.
The machine gunner approached the map and carefully examined the markings Han Che had drawn on it.
He then said, "I see, I understand."
"Then, I'm going to move in this direction..." His finger slid along a line in the prison.
"In the end, I'll die here." After saying that, he looked up and met Han Che's gaze.
Han Che was taken aback. "Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
"I will save your life this time."
"I am not afraid, whether it is life or death."
Han Che nodded slowly, then turned his back. "Don't tell Shi Ding and the others, otherwise the plan will definitely fail."
"Your Excellency Warden, please be extremely careful!"
After saying that, he retreated towards the office door, preparing to leave.
"I will shout your name when the time comes, and you will come to help me defeat the enemy."
He paused as he pushed open the office door. "Yes, sir."
The office then fell silent.
"This guy's big and burly, how come he's so smart?"
Han Che raised the corner of his mouth and muttered to himself.
Then, looking at the various markings on the map, the stage was now set up, and all that was left was for the actors to enter.
Although he felt that everything was ready, Han Che was still mentally rehearsing the possible changes over and over again.
After all, tomorrow's battle would definitely be a fierce one, and Han Che mentally prepared himself.
That's why he wanted to plan everything perfectly.
There's still a considerable amount left in the prison account. If we set aside enough money for the brothers to revive, we can use the rest to upgrade and improve our combat strength. This might be a more prudent approach for the upcoming battles.
"This time, let's concentrate the upgrades," Han Che decided. "System, upgrade me..."
Upgrade successful, prison account balance 350 million.
