"Let's set that aside for now, Mr. Xia. I contacted you this time on serious business. Or rather, we'd like to discuss a deal with you."
Liu Quande's words brought Xia Xu back to his senses.
After hearing him out, Xia Xu showed no surprise at all. He said calmly, "Because of A Tuo, right?"
Everyone had witnessed the strength A Tuo displayed yesterday. One dog had fought eight Werewolves equipped with Mechanical Centipede Spines alone. That had clearly gone far beyond the bounds of normal dogs, or even normal living creatures.
Based on A Tuo's performance, in complex terrain, he would certainly be no worse than an entire Special Operations Team from any province or city today, and would even perform better in most circumstances.
After all, provinces like Nanhu Province, which had Uncle Luo, were exceptions. Most other provincial and municipal teams consisted of ordinary elite soldiers, who also faced considerable restrictions when fighting in their own cities.
If the Special Department could obtain combat units similar to A Tuo, its combat strength would undoubtedly improve by leaps and bounds.
