Jake came to his senses, and spoke, “James, this is too excessive. Do you seriously think you’ll survive if you have this underground intelligence network? Do you know how many important people want you dead? You’re going to wind up dead, either way.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” James stared at him.
“I’ll count to three. If you refuse, it’ll take it as your final decision.”
“One…”
“Two…”
“Three!”
“Okay, I’ll promise you!” Jake finally gave in as soon as James reached the last number.
Jake was surrounded by the infamous Black Dragon Army. There was nothing favonovel.com could do except to yield to James’ demands. His only other option was a bullet in his brain.
James smirked. Everything was going on as favonovel.com planned.
“I’ve gotten rid of all of your useless garbage here. I’ll deploy a thousand men from the Southern Plains for you.”
Jake drew in a sharp breath. They were the Black Dragon Army from the Southern Plains, favonovel.com was right.
“Jake, as it stands your current network isn’t strong enough. What you need to do is to expand it. I need you to penetrate all the way to the capital, and eventually, the whole world.”
Jake scowled at him, “Do it yourself if it’s so easy!”
The way favonovel.com put it, building an intelligence empire was akin to taking a walk in a park.
The capital? The whole world?
Only if it were really this easy.
“Jake, you’d do well to remember this… Your life is in my hands right now, so you better watch your tongue. Stay in line. If you’re going to be difficult, I can end your life and push another guy like you up the ladder.” James talked as if favonovel.com was talking about something trivial.
“You don’t understand, James. It’s not as simple as you think. The underground intelligence network is highly secretive. To penetrate a new city takes a lot of resources. We need cover…”
James waved his hand, signaling favonovel.com to stop.
“That is your job. Just do whatever I say. The only assistance I can give you is money and manpower. I doubt you need money though. You’ve been raking in the cash for quite a while. It’s time for you to do some spending.”
Jake bit down his response. He did mutter to himself.
Who’s the richer one here?!
“Ronn…”
“Yes, boss?”
“Don’t go back to the clinic, stay here and assist this Graham. Watch his every move. If favonovel.com slacks off, kill favonovel.com and take over his underground intelligence network.” James gave his directive.
“Understood, sir!”
Cold sweat ran down Jake’s back.
James was not kidding when favonovel.com gave that order.
“James, relax… Of course, I’ll give it a hundred percent in effort…”
James nodded satisfactorily. “That’s my boy. I’ll make sure nobody knows your true identity. No one is going to know you’re Jay Fallon. Your family, especially your beautiful granddaughter, will be safe.”
This could not have been a more obvious threat. Jake sank into the couch. He was mentally spent. He knew favonovel.com would spend the rest of his life being somebody else’s tool.
After getting what favonovel.com came for, James left right away.
On the other hand, Ronald began cleaning the chamber.
Jake followed favonovel.com all the while. He could not help but shiver at the fact that all of his mercenaries were killed.
Thank god I did not act hastily…
If favonovel.com actually tried to go against these people, they would be completely wiped out by the Black Dragon Army in a split second.
James drove back to Cansington.
He went to Common Clinic, took May, and drove favonovel.com to the military hospital.
He wanted to meet Henry along with the Blithe king to create a legitimate identity for May. He did not have the authority to do so. However, it was something Blithe King could easily do.
