The Medical Guru Chapter 1239

Chapter 1239 Stir Up No Trouble, the Relic Mattered the Most!

“Eh?”

The four of them led their teams to the pharmaceutical factory. Bernard saw Fang Qiu sitting before the gate and the words on the board. Suddenly, Bernard said with a surprised and bewildered expression, “I didn’t expect the place we planned to settle in to turn out to be a pharmaceutical factory.”

“This factory should have just been newly built, so we did not receive the accurate information.”

Lester gazed at Fang Qiu’s face and asked, “Is he from Huaxia? Well Known?”

“It seems so.”

With a smile, Isabel nodded and said, “He has the typical body structure of Huaxia people.”

“Let’s go.”

Yakov turned around and said, “There’s no need to occupy a place like this!”

The others nodded in agreement.

“Wait.”

Lester abruptly called out, his eyes fixed on Fang Qiu, and said, “He looks very familiar. Why do I feel he looks like John Doe?”

The other three were stunned as they looked at Fang Qiu in unison.

They paid special attention to him.

Soon, the look in their eyes changed.

They all thought the person before them was very similar to John Doe.

“John Doe, Well Known?”

Yakov observed Fang Qiu and said to the others, “As far as I know, in Huaxia, people with names in a similar style might be brothers.”

Hearing that, everyone was startled.

“Brothers?

“John Doe and Well Known, were they brothers?”

Of course…

They didn’t voice their doubts.

However, after looking closely at Fang Qiu, they glanced at each other and turned away.

There…

Fang Qiu shut his eyes again.

“The strength of the four great countries should be far more superior.”

Fang Qiu thought to himself, “According to Li Ji’s information, all the top forces have joined this competition. Even the first-rate continental organizations have come here, let alone the four great countries.”

“Huaxia even activated people from Sword Sect. Like others, the four major states must also have some hidden experts. With these people who haven’t become Half-step Gurus, they can’t gain any advantage!

“Then, where are experts of the four major countries hiding? What will they do?”

Fang Qiu thought to himself.

He pondered over these matters.

Then he heard a flurry of footsteps which came nearer and nearer.

Fang Qiu opened his eyes.

They turned out to be Huaxia people.

The leader of this group was a young man with a long sword, but he only had the strength of ninth-class with two opened meridians and wasn’t even a Half-step Guru.

All the people behind him possessed ninth-class strength. There was not even one with eighth-class strength.

When this group came into his view…

Fang Qiu nodded in his heart approvingly.

He had seen people from various forces and different countries. Among them, Huaxia was undoubtedly the most powerful one.

On the other side…

When the team of Huaxia people saw the words on the board, they all silently gave Fang Qiu a hold fist salute. Then they turned to leave without saying anything.

“It seems that everyone has the same idea.”

Fang Qiu murmured, “Li Ji said that experts of Sword Sect were sent out, and there must be some gurus. Since this group has no guru, our state must also have other plans like other countries and forces.”

At this thought…

A new idea flashed across his mind, and Fang Qiu couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile.

“What a surprise! I can gather some information while guarding a pharmaceutical factory.”

Indeed…

Fang Qiu had seen more than a dozen forces of all sizes throughout the day. Except for top-notch experts, Fang Qiu managed to look into the strength of almost all the people in these forces.

Even Li Ji might not get such detailed intelligence.

After the Huaxia people left…

Soon after…

The other forces followed.

Without exception, all the people from each force who arrived chose to leave after they saw the notice board and Fang Qiu, who was guarding this place.

The situation came as a complete surprise to Fang Qiu.

How could these people from every force be so genial this time?

They all left and showed little inclination to fight.

Of course…

Fang Qiu understood it.

The words on the signboard touched a chord in them. In addition, he himself was part of the reason for them to retreat. However, the most important thing was the involvement of the ancient relic.

Every force knew it very well.

It was not the time to stir up trouble. The ancient ruin mattered the most.

Even after all the major forces walked away, Fang Qiu still stayed at the gate of the pharmaceutical factory.

Fang Qiu had seen how crazy people would become for the relic from the world underground-force forum, so he knew very well that many more people were on their way here in addition to the significant forces.

Those people were the individual cultivators on the world underground-force forum.

Compared to the various large and small forces, these independent cultivators were unpredictable, for they could do whatever they wanted without any restraints. They might make a move against the pharmaceutical factory at any time. Therefore, before he left, he had to stay for some time and ensure that those independent cultivators, who came in groups to seize the treasure, wouldn’t threaten the factory!

Since these individual cultivators were special, Fang Qiu had already prepared for combat.

To his great surprise…

Groups of independent cultivators came here. After seeing the words on the signboard, they all chose to leave with no intention to take over the pharmaceutical factory.

However, unlike the major forces, this time, it was not the words and Fang Qiu that affected these independent cultivators but the forces that had visited this place before them!

In the eyes of these individual cultivators…

No force dared to take the pharmaceutical factory, an excellent supply point, which meant something must be wrong. Even large groups had no courage to seize this place, let alone them.

Just like that, all these practitioners left.

The situation seemed to be going well.

Fang Qiu completely relaxed and planned to stay up for another night.

He had to wait and see if any other forces arrived late.

As a result, one group turned up.

At dusk…

In the last glow of the sunset, a team of 10 people similar to a military squad, appeared.

“A small army of mercenaries?”

Seeing them, Fang Qiu was slightly stunned.

The ten people were outfitted with identical uniforms like those of Black Mamba Mercenaries, but the logos on their left shoulders were completely different.

The symbol of Black Mamba Mercenaries was a black Mamba snake with its head lifted and tongue flicked out.

But before him…

This band of mercenaries used the logo of a lion’s head with a bloody mouth!

“Bloody Lion Mercenaries!”

He learned about the logo from the Head of Black Mamba Mercenaries.

Bloody Lion Mercenaries…

This mighty band, which ranked fourth in the world, had more than a hundred members. Each of them had been a soldier from the special troops and had extraordinary combat capabilities.

No matter what kind of enemy they faced, Bloody Lion Mercenaries could always penetrate the enemy position and complete their mission!

Notably…

Besides being special soldiers, Bloody Lion Mercenaries had many metahumans. Every single one of them was potent and fierce-tempered, so they called themselves Bloody Lions.

Ten people got closer.

Their leader was a bald man with a scald mark on his forehead. It started from the hairline on the right and went all the way to his left upper eyelid, which caused it to droop a little. It made him look like he had a permanent squint.

“A factory producing malaria medicine?”

After he read the words on the board, the leader immediately frowned and said, “It seems we can’t replenish here.”

They were mercenaries.

They fought only when they were paid.

They would not hesitate to do that if this were an insignificant pharmaceutical factory that they could occupy with ease. However, dealing with a factory manufacturing anti-malaria drugs wouldn’t be so easy.

As mercenaries, they would first consider matters related to countries.

For those metahumans, whether this pharmaceutical factory was valuable or whether they would rob it had nothing to do with the other countries. However, the mercenary group was concerned about the various countries that were behind this factory.

Beyond all doubt…

Malaria was an infectious disease that had a high occurrence incidence in Africo.

Taking this pharmaceutical factory would provoke all countries in Africo.

It would harm the development of the mercenary band and also had a lot of disadvantages!

Therefore…

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to rob it, but that they had no guts to do that!

“Commander, are we leaving just like this without grabbing anything?”

One couldn’t help asking.

“Sure.”

The middle-aged man with the scald mark on his head nodded matter-of-factly and said, “Don’t forget our mission. This time, there are only ten of us. The task we accepted was to get ten Holy Fruits. So, let’s don’t provoke extra incidents here. Many forces had been here before us, but none chose to replenish here, which proves that there is something wrong here.”

Speaking of this…

The man turned around, glanced at Fang Qiu, and said, “This man of yellow race should be Well Known. With merely one glance, I can tell this guy is a real badass. Let’s focus on the task first. Let’s not waste time and energy in this place.”

Afterward…

The middle-aged man exchanged a glance with Fang Qiu and motioned his men to leave with a wave.

“Ten Holy Fruits?”

After they marched away, Fang Qiu muttered in a low voice, “The Bloody Lion Mercenaries are well aware of its strengths and weaknesses. They knew they couldn’t compete for the ancient relic, so they picked up a bounty mission. With so many Holy Fruits, they are only targeting ten, which is a small number. It’s not a demanding task. No wonder they look so confident.”

Upon learning the strength of another force, Fang Qiu was very satisfied.

He thought no one else would be here and was prepared to have a good rest.

Contrary to his expectations…

Fang Qiu just closed his eyes.

A whooshing sound came to his ears.

This time…

Fang Qiu didn’t open his eyes.

He could feel the force coming was not strong.

In particular…

He was clear that these visitors were Egyptt metahumans.

He was on guard here to protect Egyptt people. So, he believed these Egyptt metahumans wouldn’t give him any trouble and didn’t even bother to open his eyes.

In front of the pharmaceutical factory…

After the Egyptt metahumans arrived, they carefully read the words on the board and cast their eyes at Fang Qiu. There was even a sincere look of respect in their eyes.

On the spot…

The group of people raised their hands and delivered a typical hold fist salute in Huaxia to Fang Qiu.

Though they were rather awkward when they executed this foreign salute, at least they did it.

“Thank you for everything you have done, Mr. Well Known. On behalf of the Africo people, we thank you for your help.”

As they saluted, the group of people expressed their gratitude.

Still, Fang Qiu didn’t open his eyes.

Instead, he returned a salute and said, “Morality and justice come first in Huaxia. This is what I should do. You don’t have to thank me!”

Hearing this…

The other party still thanked him a few more times before they left hurriedly.

Their goal was the same as the others: the ancient relic.

However, they came a little late. Thus, they had to speed up to catch up with the others.
