"Thank heavens, Alfred has finally t his demise," exclaid a relieved voice. The sentint was shared by Hassan and everyone present, their joy evident on their faces.
Liu Yong glanced at the group, taking in their expressions of ecstasy, before remarking, "I heard your governnt had put a hefty price on Alfred's head, so there must be so truth to it."
Hassan wasted no ti in confirming, "Indeed, we offered a reward of 30 million US dollars, but I need to verify the situation firsthand."
Without delay, soone reached for their mobile phone and dialled a number, likely issuing orders to the nearest army unit, commanding them to dispatch a helicopter for on-site verification.
The verification process would take so ti.
While waiting for confirmation, Hassan and Liu Yong engaged in casual conversation.
"Mr. Liu, I can imagine the imnse effort you must have put into eliminating Alfred this ti. It must have required a significant number of people," remarked Hassan, seeking confirmation.
Liu Yong responded casually, "No, we only had a team of three."
"What!" Almost everyone's surprise was palpable. The notion of three individuals successfully taking down Alfred was hard to fathom.
Including Hassan, scepticism filled the room. They found it difficult to believe that just three people had managed to eliminate Alfred, a feat that would have been deed impossible.
Liu Yong reaffird, "There were indeed only three of us, and the opposition numbered no more than 200. The battle concluded within minutes."
"What!" The room fell into stunned silence.
After recovering from the shock, so individuals considered Liu Yong suspiciously, questioning whether he was boasting.
"Do I seem like soone who brags?" Liu Yong retorted calmly, downplaying the significance of the accomplishnt. Killing a few people hardly warranted bragging rights.
Witnessing Liu Yong's genuine deanour, Hassan acknowledged his astonishnt, "You have accomplished sothing remarkable. As the Pri Minister of this nation, even I am surprised by this turn of events, as it surpasses my understanding."
Hassan struggled to comprehend how three individuals could eliminate nearly 200 adversaries when even the most elite special forces would find such a task formidable.
Liu Yong continued, "In addition to receiving the reward, I believe we can discuss further cooperation during my visit here."
Cooperation? The room buzzed with curiosity.
Hassan gazed at Liu Yong, inquiring, "Mr. Liu, what kind of cooperation are you suggesting?"
Liu Yong responded, "You have long regarded the Rhodes Ard Forces as a serious problem, correct? If you provide us with information, I can ensure the eradication of all the leaders within the Rhodes Ard Forces."
Silence settled over the room.
Everyone stared blankly at Liu Yong.
To eliminate all the leaders of the Rhodes Ard Forces was a dream they held but had only dared to entertain in their imagination.
And now, soone claid that such a feat was within reach.
So individuals erupted in excitent, while others remained skeptical, their disbelief evident. One person ventured, "Is what you're saying true? Are you not exaggerating?"
With a hint of amusent, Liu Yong replied, "Do I strike you as soone who exaggerates?"
Killing a few people hardly warranted boasting.
Seeing that Liu Yong appeared neither boastful nor deceptive, Hassan concluded, "If Mr. Liu truly possesses this capability, then perhaps we can indeed cooperate."
Liu Yong had already contemplated the terms of cooperation. The YM governnt would provide intelligence on the Rhodes Ard Forces, and Liu Yong's team would carry out the necessary operations to eliminate their leaders.
Hassan knew that such favourable terms wouldn't co without conditions.
As expected, Liu Yong presented his conditions: "We will take on the risks and make the contributions. Firstly, your governnt must provide a training base free of charge, along with weapons and ammunition for our personnel to train."
Establishing a training base for the Wolf Warriors rcenary regint was essential, and it was a task that the YM governnt could easily accomplish.
Hassan readily agreed, saying, "That won't be an issue. About 30 kiloters northeast of Sana'a, we have a large military base where our National Defense Division is stationed. We can allocate space for your team there."
The proximity to YM's capital made it an ideal location, and sharing the military base with the prestigious Weiguo Division guaranteed convenience and security for the Warrior Wolf rcenary Group.
Although Liu Yong hadn't been to the military base personally, he had heard of its reputation for being secure. The Warrior Wolf rcenary Corps need not worry about minor disturbances from insignificant entities.
Liu Yong proceeded with his second condition, "The Rhodes Ard Forces currently control several major oil fields in your country. Once we eliminate the militants entrenched near these oil fields, the exploitation and managent rights of those oil fields will belong to us."
The prospect of controlling the oil fields held trendous allure.
YM was rich in oil, though not as prodigious as so Middle Eastern nations. Nevertheless, the territory housed several substantial oil fields.
Each oil field held a value exceeding 10 billion US dollars, with the largest one boasting reserves exceeding 1 billion tons, all under the control of the Rhodes Ard Forces.
Liu Yong couldn't help but covet such a massive oil field with reserves surpassing 1 billion tons.
Hassan shook his head in response, "I'm afraid that's not possible. The oil fields currently under Rhodes' control account for over half of our country's total reserves."
The implication was clear. If these oil fields were to fall into Liu Yong's hands, it would an that the Global Shipping Group would control more than half of YM's oil resources.
Hassan considered such a proposition to be utterly unfeasible.
Liu Yong countered, "These oil fields are presently under the control of the Rhodes Ard Forces. It might as well be us managing them."
"No, no, no," Hassan interjected firmly. "That would only be a temporary situation. Sooner or later, we will drive away the Rhodes Ard Forces and reclaim control over these oil fields."
Liu Yong chuckled, his tone tinged with mockery. "For so many years, you have yet to reclaim them. I find it highly unlikely to occur anyti soon. Even if you were to regain control, it would be several years from now."
The negotiations ensued, eventually leading to Hassan being persuaded by Liu Yong's argunts. If Liu Yong could reclaim the oil fields from the Rhodes Ard Forces, he would be allowed to manage and exploit two oil fields at most.
Furthermore, the mining operations would be exempt from any taxes or managent fees imposed by the YM governnt.
Two oil fields would suffice.
Liu Yong ntally marked the largest oil field as his priority, along with the two oil fields currently controlled by the Rhodes Ard Forces, particularly the one located just 200 kilotres away from the western port city, boasting reserves exceeding 1 billion tons.
Monts later, a military officer entered the room, whispering sothing into Hassan's ear.
Suddenly, Hassan's face lit up with delight.
"Mr. Liu, we have verified the situation. Alfred has indeed been eliminated by you, and a total of 192 militants were vanquished alongside him."
The news was confird, and a sense of relief washed over Hassan.
Liu Yong smiled and remarked, "It seems that the reward of 30 million US dollars is rightfully earned."
Without hesitation, Hassan assured him, "No problem. I will imdiately issue the order to transfer the funds to the designated account."
$30 million secured!
