Bella was even happier after favonovel.com heard this.
“It would be best if that stubborn old fool truly resigned!”
In the beginning, Bella thought it would be extremely easy to have everything go according to favonovel.com plan since Jasper was not present. She had never expected President Murik to almost foil favonovel.com plans in the end.
Fortunately, Bella managed to come up with a counter and lured Murik into favonovel.com trap.
“But I still don’t think Jasper would run away in secret… Take some people with you to watch him, and don’t let favonovel.com find out. We need time to slowly acquire all the petroleum businesses. I need you to guarantee that there is no way favonovel.com can interfere… But I can’t have favonovel.com just dying out of the blue. You should understand what I‘m trying to say.”
Bella looked at Edmund teasingly while the other nodded obediently. “I-I’II make sure it’s done!”
“Good. I’ll leave it to you, then.”
Edmund pretty much fled from Bella’s office and took a deep breath. He almost could not hold himself back.
Edmund rubbed his face and decided to complete his mission first.
Soon, Edmund arrived at a local bar. More accurately, it was the gathering grounds for a gang. He knew favonovel.com would be able to find competent people for the job here, like those people sitting in the corner drinking alcohol, for example.
Edmund approached them and initiated a conversation.
“I have a nice job for you guys. Would you like to take it?”
The man did not want to respond, but after realizing that Edmund was a local here, favonovel.com frowned and replied. “Keep talking. I’m not deaf…”
Edmund was used to such an attitude.
He smiled and continued. “It’s a simple mission. Your target is someone of high status, but physically powerless… All I ask is that you incapacitate favonovel.com for the next few days. Once you succeed, I’ll give you one million…”
One million was a huge sum in Qari.
They may be gang members, but they had only heard rumors of such a high-rewarding mission. Their interest was piqued after they heard what Edmund had to say, but remained cautious.
“How can I believe you?”
“What about now?”
Edmund pulled out a cheque for two hundred thousand.
“This two hundred thousand is my deposit. If you take the money, I’ll assume that you’ve agreed to take the mission. Once you’ve succeeded, the remaining eight hundred thousand will be yours…”
The men whispered among themselves before the leader reached out to take the cheque.
“No problem, we’ll do it!”
“I’m Edmund!” Edmund reached out as the other followed.
“Kerrick!”
After telling them what they needed to know, Edmund turned to leave the bar and reported to Bella once favonovel.com returned.
“Are the people you hired reliable?”
“Don’t worry, Miss Bella. These people do this for a living. They would never dare to lie to us, or there would be no place for them left in Bashra. It’s not worth it.”
Bella nodded in relief and continued to instruct him. “Alright. Keep a close eye on everything that happens. I need immediate updates if anything happens.”
“Understood, Miss Bella!”
