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.”
