Chapter 681


    After hanging up the phone, James sent Jose’s bank ount number to Scarlett. Meanwhile, Jose was


    looking at James. He was jealous of the wealth James possessed. Although he was from Ishkabar, he


    had heard of the ck Dragon. Businessmen who wished to conduct business in the Southern ins


    had to pay a hefty protection fee to the ck Dragon all these years.


    All this while, the King of Sol turned a blind eye to this.


    Although Jose was a lieutenant, he was hesitant to act too out of line. If the higher-ups investigated the


    matter, his military career would be over.


    James shed a smile to Jose who was sweating like a sinner in church. “Don’t be nervous. Rx.


    This is only between you and me. I’ve ordered someone to make the transfer. You’ll receive the money


    soon. Have some patience.”


    Jose wiped the sweat off his forehead


    “Wh-What do you want me to do?”


    James replied, “Nothing much. Just bring me into the military region of Southern ins City safely.”


    “That’s it?”


    “Yes.”


    James nodded, “That’s it. I won’t get you involved. You only need to bring me to the military region. As


    for the remaining money, I’ll give it to you if I make it out alive. If I happen to die, no one else will


    investigate the matter. So don’t you worry.”


    Hearing this, Jose was relieved.


    Suddenly, his phone rang.


    He looked at James.


    James nodded. “Go ahead.”


    Jose answered the phone.


    “Yes… Understood. I’ll be there immediately.”


    Hanging up the phone, he looked at James and said, “The general is calling for me. He has convened


    an emergency meeting.”

    James frowned. After brief contemtion, he said, “I’ll go with you. Get me a new identity.”


    “Understood.”


    Jose nodded.


    As he was a lieutenant, he wielded enormous authority. Forging a new identity was a piece of cake for


    him.


    In just ten minutes, James had gotten a new identity. He was now Jose’s assistant and rtive –


    Santiago Maksim.


    As security was tight in the military region, James could not enter despite being the assistant of a


    lieutenant. He could only wait outside. James was not in a hurry and waited patiently outside.


    He had bribed Jose into this. As long as Jose’s mouth remained shut, he should be safe for now.


    He was confident that Jose would not spill the beans. Although Jose was a lieutenant, his saláry was


    low. Not only that, Ishkabar had been strict on corruption. As such, he did not have the luxury of getting


    a supplementary ie. To him, a billion dors was an astronomical figure-a sum he would never get


    even if he worked for a lifetime.


    James waited for approximately two hours.


    Two hourster, Jose walked out.


    James walked over to him. Scanning his surroundings, he whispered, “How did it go? What was the


    meeting about?”.


    “We’ll talk about itter.”


    Jose did not say much. He brought James out of the city and returned to the barracks.


    Immediately upon arrival, Jose logged into his overseas bank ount. Seeing there was a hundred


    million in it, he was relieved. He could finally cooperate with James without fear. “The general wishes to


    select a few capable men to guard the military region in an attempt to prevent you from sneaking up on


    them. I have decided to rmend you.” “That’s good news.” James was pleased. Finally, the


    opportunity had presented itself. “James, please understand that I’m taking a huge risk by


    rmending you. If you’re exposed, I’ll die alongside you. So… I hope you’ll seed in


    assassinating them.” Jose said while wearing a solemn expression. James assured him with a smile.


    “Don’t you worry. As long as I can get within the distance of the generals, I can kill them all.”


    “Mhm.. Go get prepared. Apart from you, I’ll be choosing a few others I can trust. However, your current


    appearance…”
