1201 This Money Was Worth It
Bai Zhou shrugged with a natural expression. He looked at their dumbfounded expressions and smiled. “Service needs to be of equal value to money. Since Leader Hans dared to ask for this price, he naturally has to keep up with the service he gave me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhou turned to look at Irene and Andrew and raised his chin. “These two are Leader Hans’ first service!”
Everyone frowned again when they heard that. Chi Lian subconsciously said, “Aren’t the two of them just escorting you back to the country?”
Bai Zhou couldn’t help but chuckle. “Of course not. Leader Hans assigned Irene and Andrew to protect me until the crisis around me is resolved or the contract is terminated!”
“You also know that Irene and Andrew are powerful ability users and the two strongest in the mercenary group. Leader Hans did this to show his sincerity, right?”
Close protection until the crisis was resolved, or the contract terminated!
Moreover, it was Irene and Andrew!
This way, things seemed to be balanced because Jian Ai knew that as ability users, Irene and Andrew would create a lot of value for the mercenary group in a year. It might not reach two billion US dollars, but it was not low!
As Bai Zhou had said, this was indeed a sincere show of goodwill.
Moreover, other than Irene and Andrew, as long as Bai Zhou needed help, the mercenary group would provide him with any kind of help he wanted, even killing others!
“Don’t worry, although I’m very, very rich, I’m not a sucker. I won’t agree to a deal with too much imbalance. I’m not a fool!” Bai Zhou said again.
However, why did his words sound like he deserved a beating?
Bai Zhou’s wealth was like an invisible bottomless pit. Jian Ai had never asked him how rich he was, but in Bai Zhou’s words, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was as rich as a country!
Therefore, two billion US dollars might be an astronomical figure for others, but for Bai Zhou, it might be just an ordinary transaction. It would not affect his economic lifeline at all.
Everyone looked at each other. However, what was done was done. It was too late to say anything now. They could only hope that Bai Zhou’s decision was right. This two billion US dollars better be worth it!
Jian Ai looked at Irene and Andrew again. Andrew’s ability seemed to be fire-elemental. He could even control fire-elemental moves like lava. He was an existence with shocking destructive power.
To be honest, Jian Ai still had some barriers in her heart towards Irene because she had severely injured Si Yue before. However, Jian Ai fully understood Irene’s position at that time. Chi Lian had also injured her companions, and they had done their best for their companions, so Jian Ai did not hate Irene now.
However, Jian Ai still knew little about Irene’s abilities. At that time, a crystal ball containing infinite energy floated in her palm, and her special ability was a mirror. That mirror could devour Chi Lian’s holy light and reflect it from the mirror world intact. It could be said to be quite strange and powerful.
Moreover, Jian Ai believed that it was not Irene’s full strength. If Yu Wuyuan had not subdued her back then, they might have seen more terrifying moves from Irene.
Even Chi Lian was not stingy with her praise, saying that Irene’s strength was terrifying and that she should not be inferior to her.
With these two people protecting Bai Zhou, coupled with Chi Lian and Chi Yang, we could say that an iron wall is surrounding Bai Zhou. If anyone in the world still wanted to attack him, it would probably be harder than ascending to the heavens.
Thinking of this, Jian Ai instantly relaxed. If this two billion US dollars could ensure Bai Zhou’s safety, she felt that the money was worth it.
Jian Ai slowly said to the two of them, “Are the two of you going to stay in China from now on?”
Andrew nodded. “Don’t worry, everyone. Irene and I are professional mercenaries. As long as we accept the commission, we will do our best to complete it.”
Jian Ai naturally did not doubt this. In the previous bitter battle between the two sides, Andrew had lasted until the last moment and was the most injured. If Irene had not arrived in time, Chi Lian would have taken his life.
“I bought the apartment downstairs for the two of them to stay for the time being,” Bai Zhou said.
At this moment, Yu Wuyuan asked softly, “Other than that, are there any other actions?”
The crisis had not been resolved, and they already knew who the mastermind was. They did not have to wait for death like before. They had to take the initiative to do something.
When Bai Zhou heard this, he answered, “I asked Leader Hans to send someone to investigate my brother’s movements. According to our previous guess, after giving up on the International Mercenary Group, my brother will find a new organization to work for him.”
Andrew immediately said, “Leader Hans sent Louise and Gale over together. The two of them are experts at gathering information. Nothing will go wrong!”
When Xiao Zhen heard these two people’s names, his expression changed slightly. These two people were the ones who had appeared in his manor before.
One could turn invisible, and the other could pass through walls. This was only the ability he had seen at that time. Other than that, the two of them might have other hidden strengths.
Their abilities were indeed suitable for this.
Jian Ai nodded slightly and thought for a moment before saying, “Actually, we have an even more obvious advantage now because Prince Qi Ye doesn’t know that we already know that he did it. He must think that he’s in the open and we’re in the dark!”
At that time, Yun Buyao used Spiritual Art to get the truth out of Lao Liu and erased a portion of his memories. Therefore, Lao Liu did not know what had happened, let alone tell others about Prince Qi Ye’s identity.
“So I plan to continue to play dumb!” Bai Zhou said softly. “At least until we have a clear action, we’ll continue to pretend to know nothing. This way, we won’t alert the enemy!”
Si Yue nodded gently. “And if we continue to pretend not to know, Prince Qi Ye might lower his guard and expose himself, giving us an opportunity!”
Everyone looked at each other meaningfully. This matter seemed to have become interesting.
There was another happy gathering at night, mainly to welcome Irene and Andrew.
“Eugene has never forgotten your culinary skills. When you went to Italy’s headquarters this time, she kept wanting you to cook, but Leader Hans stopped her.”
In the kitchen, Andrew helped Chi Yang as he spoke.
When Chi Yang heard this, he couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile and say without modesty, “It’s indeed time to change the chef at your headquarters. Italian food can also be delicious!”
