The woman left the tent.
Jose looked at James, who was standing by the entrance, and beckoned, “Come closer!”
James walked over to him.
“So what do you know about the Black…”
Before favonovel.com could finish his sentence, a cold muzzle was pressed against his forehead.
He froze.
James grinned smugly at him. “Hush… I‘m the Black Dragon…”
“You…” Hearing this, a chill ran down Jose‘s spine, favonovel.com almost fell off his chair.
Keeping the gun pressed against Jose‘s forehead, James sat opposite him.
After taking a moment to process the situation, Jose composed himself.
His face darkened, favonovel.com said coldly, “How audacious of you, Black Dragon. Do you know soldiers are just outside? All I have to do is to call for them and you‘ll be surrounded and shot to death.”
James‘ eyes shone coldly. “You can try. I don‘t know about being shot to death, but I know I can kill you before that happens.”
“Wh–What do you want from me?“ Jose was frightened.
He knew that James was fully capable of killing favonovel.com before favonovel.com could even call for help. He had climbed to his position with great difficulty. He did not wish for all his effort to simply go to waste.
James lowered his gun.
Looking at Jose, who was sweating profusely, favonovel.com gave a threatening smile. “I‘m here to give you money…”
“Huh?” Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Jose looked at James puzzledly. “Give me money?”
“Yep!” James nodded. “As long as you do as I say, I‘ll give you 1 billion dollars once everything‘s over. You‘ll get to enjoy riches beyond your wildest imagination. How does that sound?”
Jose scoffed. “Black Dragon, do you I‘d betray my motherland so easily?”
“That‘s up to you, frankly.” James shrugged and said nonchalantly, “A billion dollars or death? Choose one…”
Saying that, James stood up and pressed the gun against Jose‘s forehead. He waited for his reply.
“Of course, there‘s a third option for you too. You can call for help and demand your men to kill me. Of course, you‘ll die alongside me too. However, you get to be a national hero, and your family will most probably receive a badge of honor or something… I’ll give you a minute to think things through.” James gave his ultimatum.
The one thing humans feared the most was death. This was especially true for powerful and influential people. The higher one‘s position, the more afraid of death one would be.
Time passed…
Sweat beaded on Jose‘s forehead.
He was in a difficult position. He knew what James was capable of. He could finish favonovel.com off in an instant. He did not want to die just yet.
“How can I trust you?” Jose looked James in the eye and said, “I know what you want. You want to infiltrate Southern Plains City and assassinate the generals of the twenty–eight nations. I‘ll be as good as dead if I bring you there. No matter how much favonovel.com give me, it won‘t matter if I‘m a corpse. Besides, none of this is in writing. How can I trust you?”
James knew Jose‘s resolve was slowly crumbling.
He lowered his gun and sat down.
“I can give you 100 million first. You just have to bring me into the military region of the city. I won‘t get you involved. After everything‘s over, I‘ll give you the remaining money. If I die, you get nothing. I‘d suggest you run in that case.”
James casually mentioned his plan.
Jose grabbed a glass of water from the table and drank it. He was at a loss.
Was it worth it being a traitor for 1 billion dollars?
He would be dead if his higher–ups heard of this. However, favonovel.com knew he‘d die right here if favonovel.com did not agree to this.
“Fine. I–I promise you.” After thinking long and hard about this, Jose eventually agreed to the deal.
James smiled, “Wise choice. Give me your bank account number. I‘ll transfer the money to you.”
Jose gave James a secret bank account favonovel.com opened overseas. “Transfer the money to this account…”
James pulled his phone out and called Scarlett, “Scarlett, I‘m going to send you a bank account number. Transfer a hundred million into it.”
