A few others were tempted by his proposal, and they started deliberating over his words.
Everyone was waiting for someone else to make the first move.
Shae panicked. She could not let her men be swayed. “Don't listen to him! It's one, against so many of us. Is it even possible for us to lose? Whoever kills him shall be awarded one billion!”
One billion!
Shae's offer had restrengthened their resolve. There was no longer an ounce of doubt left within them.
To most of them, it was an opportunity of a lifetime. Even if they become mercenaries, their cumulative wage would not even come close to this amount. Only the fearless ones deserved
this.
With their confidence boosted, Nathan looked just like any regular soldier, defeatable.
Shae was quick to notice that her offer tempted even the assassins from Death Reaper.
She added loudly, “Of course, this applies to those from Death Reaper as well. Kill him and the money's yours. Injure him and you will also be duly rewarded too.”
While Bobby was tempted, he remained cool-headed. “Ms. Shae, he is ultimately still a general.
As for the repercussions of killing him...”
“There's nothing to be afraid of! He is just a paper tiger. All bark and no bite. Whatever happens, the Davier family will take care of it. Just do your thing.”
Her words had elevated the fear within him. “Ms.
Shae, I'll take your words for it.”
Shae turned to Mystique. “I assume you've never had the opportunity for a one-on-one fight.
Here's your chance. Are you confident of getting rid of Eurasia's God of War?”
