“Yes, I’ll negotiate with Jim when the time comes.”
“You’re going to do that personally?” Vermillion Bird was a little worried. “Young Master Jie, I think it’s better if you don’t make an appearance. Jim is a cunning person. I don’t know what trap he has set for you!”
“A bunch of useless people. Who are the people around him? I heard that Jim spent a lot of money to hire a hundred-man mercenary team from Europe. However, the capabilities of these mercenaries are mixed. They’re not worthy of my attention.”
Vermillion Bird was a little worried nevertheless. “That’s true, but whatever it is, don’t underestimate the enemy.”
!!
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Hence, Vermillion Bird and Gong Jie split into two groups.
There was no need to bring a large group of people to rescue the hostages. Three groups of five people each was adequate for the mission. The rest of the men were on round-the-clock standby.
Gong Jie released the news that the goods had arrived at the port and then waited for Jim’s reply. In the evening, Jim very quickly arranged a time and place.
St. Barthe Sports Centre.
The St. Barthe Sports Centre used to be the largest training ground in East Africa. It used to be the venue for military drills and inspections of military teams. It was also once the venue for international sports meets. Ironically, the training ground, which used to convey a spirit of peace, was now surrounded by gunfire and civilians who suffered heavy injuries and losses.
The five-ring logo that symbolized peace hung above the teaching field.
Gong Jie led his men to the sports center. The sky was gradually darkening. They had originally agreed on a time, but after a long time, Jim did not appear.
Perhaps his men were already there. However, when they saw that Gong Jie had arrived with his men, they could have proceeded to further investigate the situation, obviously worried that the man had brought thousands of troops with him. Jim was an old fox who feared death.
Gong Jie turned around and told a team of mercenaries who were responsible for his safety, “Go somewhere else. Don’t be standing here.”
“But, Young Master Jie, Officer Vermillion Bird instructed…”
“Officer Vermillion Bird is not here right now. Besides, I am the chief commander. You only need to listen to my orders.”
“But…”
“Didn’t you arrange for a sniper?” Gong Jie lowered his voice and asked, “Is the sniper on standby?”
“Standing by.”
“I’m worried that Jim has a sniper on his end as well. Where’s the scout? Tell him to patrol the area. If he finds a sniper, kill him on the spot.”
“Roger.”
Gong Jie had set up snipers around the training ground in advance. If Jim’s team tried to do anything to harm him, they would kill him in advance. At the same time, the mercenaries would cover his safe departure. However, this was just in case. Jim wouldn’t dare to make a move on him for nothing.
The mercenaries looked at each other, then did as Gong Jie ordered and dispersed.
It was just as the man had expected. Not long after, Jim appeared with his men.
Gong Jie sneered. Jim was indeed a wily old fox. He had arrived a long time ago, but he was afraid of such a big group, so he did not make an appearance.
A man walked over from afar, followed by a few sturdy-looking bodyguards. Although they were dressed simply, he knew very well that these were mercenaries disguised as evil cultists who were in charge of Jim’s safety.
Jim was wearing a gray suit and leather shoes. He had black hair and a deep-set profile typical of a European white man. He walked toward Gong Jie with a smile on his face.
