"All of you, put down your guns," Ivan said coldly.
The five people around looked at each other, none willing to lower their weapons. Holding these guns was their way of staying alive.
Xu Wanguan beca anxious, glaring with wide eyes as he shouted, "Put down your guns, are you trying to get killed?"
Finally, the n slowly placed their guns on the ground.
"Now, have you thought it through, money or your life?" Ivan said mockingly.
"I’ll pay," Xu Wanguan seed to make a big decision before continuing, "But that’s too much, I can’t co up with it now. How about this, I’ll give you ten billion in cash, co with ."
Ivan suddenly laughed and then slapped Xu Wanguan on the head.
"Are you trying to play ? If I go with you, will I still have a chance to live?" Ivan said.
"Trust ," Xu Wanguan said.
"Don’t give that nonsense, who’d believe you? Fifty billion, now call and transfer it to my account," Ivan demanded.
Xu Wanguan gritted his teeth, finally nodding, "Alright, fifty billion it is, but how do you guarantee my safety?"
"As long as you transfer the money to , I’ll release you imdiately," Ivan said, sowhat excitedly.
On the side, Wang Li and Wen Shengbao rubbed their hands, unsure of what to say.
They weren’t kidnapping for the first ti, but it was their first ti kidnapping soone so high-profile.
The thought of gaining fifty billion was thrilling; with that money, they could live without worries, who would still be willing to risk their lives?
"No, you must ensure I return to the company," Xu Wanguan insisted.
Ivan thought for a mont, then nodded, "Fine, as long as you transfer the money, I’ll escort you ho."
Only then did Xu Wanguan nod. He had no choice; Ivan was threatening his life, and at this point, even losing all his wealth would be acceptable.
The richer people get, the more afraid they are of death.
Xu Wanguan took out his phone, thought for a mont, then dialed a number.
Ivan was ready with the account number to tell the other party to transfer the money quickly.
Wang Li and Wen Shengbao were standing there, at a loss. Their plan was about to succeed.
Following Ivan was indeed the right choice; when Ivan initially discussed it with them, they hesitated for quite a while.
They belonged to the Orchid rcenary Corps, and if they continued, they had a promising future.
Especially Wang Li, who was already a team leader. If he continued to develop, he would command his own team, and maybe in a few years, he’d be a prominent figure in the rcenary world.
But the temptation of money in this matter was too great to resist, especially since Ivan kept reminding them about Cheng Wulan having Xiang Yu by her side. They couldn’t compete with Xiang Yu.
Ultimately, the two followed Ivan’s advice, and in hindsight, it was worth it.
Xu Wanguan’s call connected; it was a woman’s sweet voice.
"Boss, why so early, is there sothing you need for? Why didn’t you co over last night?" the woman asked gently.
"I need you to do sothing," Xu Wanguan said seriously.
"What is it?"
"Transfer so money for ," Xu Wanguan said.
"How much?"
"Fifty billion."
"Hell, do you think I’m a bank? Transferring that much," the woman exclaid, her tone doing a complete 180 once she heard the amount.
Xu Wanguan coughed a few tis, then looked at the people around him, "Don’t worry, I’ll persuade her."
Ivan didn’t mind this, standing there patiently waiting.
Xu Wanguan walked aside with his phone, speaking softly, "Stop talking nonsense, I’m barely alive here and you’re worrying about money."
"Who dares threaten your life, are you joking with ?"
"Stop the nonsense, transfer the money quickly, or I’ll deal with you when I get back," Xu Wanguan said angrily.
Finally, the woman relented, "Alright, give the account number."
Ivan, overhearing this, hurriedly took out his bank card, hands trembling at the thought of soon having fifty billion, it was exhilarating.
At that mont, Wang Li and Wen Shengbao were the first on his mind. They had worked hard with him, and once he got his money, he would generously give them a few tens of thousands to leave.
With that wealth, he had no desire to remain in the rcenary circle; he was worth tens of billions, dying wouldn’t be worth it.
Just as Xu Wanguan prepared to relay the account number, two people walked over.
"What are you doing?" a woman’s voice asked angrily.
Hearing that voice, Xu Wanguan was delighted, quickly hanging up the phone.
Both Xu Wanguan and the others frowned.
The newcors were Xiang Yu and Cheng Wulan.
"Why haven’t you left?" Ivan frowned and asked.
"Don’t mind us, what are you doing here, head back," Cheng Wulan said angrily.
Xu Wanguan felt like he saw his savior and quickly ran toward Cheng Wulan.
Behind him, Ivan snorted coldly, stepped forward, and grabbed him by the collar, "Where do you think you’re going?"
Xu Wanguan ignored him, pitifully looking at Cheng Wulan, "Help , he’s trying to kidnap ."
Seeing Xu Wanguan’s pathetic state, Cheng Wulan almost vomited; this shaless person was quite the actor.
She ignored Xu Wanguan, turning to Ivan, "Let them go, our mission is complete."
Ivan suddenly laughed coldly, "Commander Cheng, this is my personal affair, I hope you don’t interfere."
"You’re our instructor now, so this isn’t just your personal affair. Your actions could affect our rcenary group’s reputation," Cheng Wulan said coldly.
"Your reputation?" Ivan laughed as if hearing a huge joke.
"Your reputation is worth how much? With so few people, can you call yourselves a rcenary group? It’s laughable. Is your reputation worth fifty billion? Wake up, Cheng Wulan, being a simple woman is nice, you don’t have to struggle with your Orchid Group."
Ivan’s words were full of disdain; if not for Cheng Wulan paying him well, he wouldn’t have been a coach in this small rcenary group.
Cheng Wulan gritted her teeth angrily, their rcenary group was indeed small, practically bottom-tier, but she believed their efforts would make them grow.
"That’s none of your business, now release this beast," Cheng Wulan said.
Everyone was speechless, if Cheng Wulan called Xu Wanguan a beast, why was she saving him?
"No, I now declare I’m no longer working for your Orchid rcenary Corps, I’m a free agent; you have no right to interfere," Ivan stated decisively.
Xiang Yu felt a headache; his main goal in calling Cheng Wulan was to persuade Ivan to stay as an instructor, but now Ivan resigned.
He began to worry whether the training tasks would truly fall on him now...
