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 he could finish his sentence, a cold muzzle was
pressed against his forehead. He froze. James grinned smugly at him. “I‘m the Black Dragon.” “You...”
Hearing this, a chill ran down Jose‘s spine. He 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, he 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 him before he 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, he 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 him 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 he 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, he knew he‘d die right here if he 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 he 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.”
