Chapter 050: Negotiation

However, Wang Bo overlooked one point.

That is, he also did not expect that the leader of this drug trafficking syndicate would possess such terrifying combat power, annihilating over twenty tanks, three attack helicopters, and over a thousand soldiers.

Such a record of achievement would absolutely shock the world.

And this was accomplished in just half an hour.

What does this mean?

Wang Bo was very clear that this indicated the other party had likely not exerted their full strength, that they were hiding tremendous power, and that their actual strength was probably far greater than what had been displayed.

But even this level of combat power was enough to make the world's major powers green with envy.

This is superhuman — single-handedly routing a modern military force, a miracle of the individual.

Why didn't Wang Bo let Yazi and Chunli display their wizard powers in front of everyone? Wasn't it because he was afraid that the two women would be targeted by the state?

Now, the leader of this drug cartel is so high-profile—single-handedly defeating a modern military force—that the personal power he has displayed is enough to make countless countries salivate.

Moreover, the fact that the high-ranking members of his organization all possess similar combat capabilities indicates that his abilities are replicable.

As a result, every country on Earth would stop at nothing to capture this leader and extract from him the secret to making individuals powerful.

And this guy would never yield easily; instead, he would resist at all costs.

When that time comes, a bloody war will inevitably break out.

To get this person, the countries would absolutely not give up easily, and friction might even arise between nations, perhaps even sparking a war on this pretext.

If the situation gets a bit worse, a third world war is not impossible.

If this happens, the world's structure will undergo drastic changes.

And these were absolutely not what Wang Bo wanted to see.

After all, the reason he stayed in this world was because he valued its stable situation. If a third world war were to break out, that would not be what Wang Bo wanted.

Whenever he thought of the death tolls of World War I and World War II, Wang Bo felt a chill in his heart.

Clearly, he could no longer sit idly by.

"Chun-Li." Wang Bo asked, "Who exactly is the leader of this drug trafficking organization?"

Chunli glanced at Wang Bo and said, "His code name is General, and his real name is... Vega!"

"Vega?"

Wang Bo's brow furrowed involuntarily; now he was ninety percent certain that this Vega was indeed the Vega from the Street Fighter world.

If the other party, like Chun-Li, was an alternate-world counterpart, they shouldn't possess such formidable power. After all, the Chun-Li before Wang Bo was completely different from the Chun-Li in Street Fighter, lacking any significant combat prowess.

Clearly, this Vega was not some otherworldly counterpart but the Vega from the Street Fighter world—a transmigrator. Only this could explain why he was so powerful.

In the world of Street Fighter, Vega, as a villain, naturally possesses very formidable power.

More importantly, this guy also started out in the drug business.

After coming to this world, Vega still dealt in the drug trade, most likely because a dog cannot change its habit of eating excrement.

But no matter what, Wang Bo could not allow Vega to be captured by other countries, otherwise Vega could very well become the trigger for World War III.

After all, having witnessed Vega's power, probably few countries would be willing to give him up; every nation wants to extract from him the secret of becoming stronger.

And once this secret was obtained, it would mean a rise in national power. An army of superhuman soldiers might be able to sweep across the world. Under such temptation, no country would be willing to give up.

Wang Bo asked: 'Chun-Li, where is this Vega?'

Chun-Li said, "According to the information we've obtained, the last place Vega was seen is in the Golden Triangle area of Thailand!"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Alright, let's eat. If we don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Chunli was taken aback. "Your topic shift is way too fast."

Yazi gave a wry smile, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "Let's eat first, Chunli. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it after the meal."

Chunli had no choice but to sit opposite Wang Bo, pick up her bowl and chopsticks, and begin to eat.

Even after becoming witches, they still needed to eat.

After finishing the meal, Wang Bo drove away Chunli and Yazi, tidied up the room, took out his phone, and dialed an international number.

Soon, the call connected, and a dignified voice came from the other end. "Which country are you from?"

Country? Wang Bo was taken aback and said, "I am not a person of the country."

"No?" The other party seemed somewhat surprised and let out a low laugh. "This is truly unexpected. Who are you, and how do you know this number?"

Wang Bo said, "You don't need to worry about that. You're Vega, right?"

Wang Bo knew this number; in fact, he had extracted it from Will, who was a high-ranking member of the organization and knew Vega's private phone number.

"That's right, I am Vega. Although I'm not quite sure how you got this number, let me hear your terms for now. Go ahead, how do you plan to impress me?"

Vega said with a low laugh.

Wang Bo seemed to understand something: after the drug cartel was dismantled, Vega's private number had been leaked. Did many countries now know his number?

Everyone wanted to capture Vega, but they also knew clearly that this would definitely provoke Vega's resistance.

So some countries used this number to contact Vega, secretly promising various conditions in hopes that Vega would join their country.

This is not at all an impossible thing.

The benefits of doing so were simply too great: not only could it reduce casualties, but it could also put one over on other countries, and even bring Vega into the fold.

After all, the temptation of Vega was simply too great; what he represented was personal martial power. If personal martial power and technology were combined, a nation's strength would inevitably rise by several levels.

Thinking of this, Wang Bo even suspected that Vega might have deliberately annihilated the enemies besieging him, precisely to demonstrate his strength and negotiate with the major countries.

Wang Bo certainly would not negotiate with Vega, nor would he offer Vega any conditions.

He had only one goal: to send Vega, that troublemaker, back to his original world.

But to confirm whether the person on the other end of the line was really Vega, Wang Bo decided to test him. "Are you really Vega, former U.S. Air Force general, leader of the Shadaloo army, and organizer of the world-class Street Fighter tournament?"

As soon as Wang Bo finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent instantly.

After a long while, Vega's voice slowly sounded, "Who the hell are you?!"
