Chapter 54

Seeing that his punch didn't succeed, Ed immediately became a bit annoyed. He, a strong man, was actually teased by a child, especially Ye Nan's words about "playing," which made him even angrier. He immediately turned around and gave a whip kick.

"Don't." The person behind Ed immediately walked up, pressed his hands on Ralph's feet, and with a shake of his two big hands, pressed Ralph's whip kick down.

"Why, Kenneth, do you want to stop me?" Ed turned his head to look at Kenneth, his face full of resentment.

"We were hired by Mr. Douglas, and the person in front of us is the object we need to protect," Kenneth said simply.

He knew Ed's strength very well; Ed's strength could be said to be even stronger than his, so he was afraid that Ed's strike would kill Ye Nan. If that happened, they would be hunted down by the William family.

The hiring fee of one billion US dollars and the support of various heavy firearms made these mercenaries who had been walking on the edge of life and death for many years know the importance of the mission. If they killed the person being protected, it would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the William family. Their Satan Mercenary Group could take root in Brazil and not fear the US government, but that didn't mean they wouldn't fear the William family.

"Very well, brat, consider yourself lucky." Ed knew Kenneth's meaning very well and immediately stopped, "We came here this time for this mission. The Yamaxunhe basin has many unknown dangers. We need some information and data, which I suppose you should have here."

"This is the information you want." Ye Nan threw a stack of thin papers on his desk to Ed.

Ed glanced at the information and immediately became furious, "Some natives, cannibals? Are you treating us as fools? Or are you treating us as idiots?"

Natives, cannibals—if it required paying one billion US dollars and a large amount of heavy firearm support to deal with this kind of garbage, then it could only be said that the customer was treating them as fools.

"This is the information we collected. According to the information, there are indeed only these few dangers," Ye Nan said innocently. He had once hired people to check the situation in the Amazon basin, so he naturally knew some things.

Around the Yamaxunhe basin, the greatest danger came from the local natives. These natives were isolated from the outside world and still retained their primitive style. A considerable part of them belonged to the kind of cannibals. Whenever there was a food shortage, they would eat people, especially outsiders like them, who were the food source for the cannibals.

Of course, Ye Nan had once watched the movie *Anaconda*, so he naturally knew that the cannibals in it were just a minor ailment; the real danger came from the pythons that had mutated after taking the blood orchid.

But would he tell these mercenaries about this? He wouldn't, because these mercenaries were not on the same path as him after all. To be cruel, these mercenaries were just Ye Nan's pawns, scapegoats, and objects to be utilized.

"Mr. Ye Nan, just natives and cannibals don't require heavy firearms. If it's just this, we only need to send a small team, and we don't need the entire Satan Mercenary Group," Kenneth threatened.

From the information, it was obvious that there was a trap. If a small native and cannibal were worth one billion US dollars, then mercenaries all over the world would be rich. But unfortunately, as mercenaries, they all understood one truth: the higher the reward for a mission, the more dangerous it was, and the more it required giving one's all.

That was why they found Ye Nan, hoping to get information about this mission from Ye Nan, and then arrange suitable personnel. If they really couldn't handle it, looking for help from other mercenaries wasn't impossible, but in that case, they would need to pay a hefty commission, and it would also have a certain impact on the reputation of the Satan Mercenary Group...

If a customer sees that you, a mercenary, can't even complete a mission and need to find other mercenary groups to assist, then why would the customer come to find you? Wouldn't it be better to find other mercenary groups with stronger strength?

Ye Nan also had a headache. This Satan Mercenary Group was clearly threatening him. If he didn't hand over all the information, then the Satan Mercenary Group would only send a few people to participate, using them as cannon fodder. In that case, his plan simply couldn't be implemented.

But telling him wasn't okay either. Some of his secrets weren't even known to William Douglas. If he had said he knew about the blood orchid, he could have used the local natives to cover it up, but the accurate information about the giant python wasn't even known to that damn tour guide.

If he rashly said it, he was afraid it would arouse Douglas's suspicion. Thinking of that kind of terrifying family paying attention to him, Ye Nan felt a bit afraid.

"If Mr. Ye Nan has any unspeakable secrets, then our Satan Mercenary Group will definitely not force it. It's just that we will send personnel according to the information given by the employer," Kenneth said, seeing that Ye Nan was still considering, and immediately clarified the words.

"The information shows that there are only a few cannibal tribes in the Yamaxunhe basin. We can send five good hands. Please rest assured, Mr. Ye Nan, these five are all good hands trained by our Satan Mercenary Group, all proficient in firearms. At the same time, we will also provide sufficient ammunition supplies. For mere cannibals, it's easy."

"No." Ye Nan stood up suddenly, looked at Kenneth, and stared at him fixedly, "Your Satan Mercenary Group needs to support this mission with all your might, because this mission is very dangerous."

Upon hearing that the mission was dangerous, Ed and Kenneth looked at each other at the same time, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. They had achieved their goal, which was to get accurate information from Ye Nan's mouth, but this also brought great pressure to their Satan Mercenary Group.

"Since you want to know the information this time so much, then I will tell you," Ye Nan looked at them coldly and said, "I hope you won't regret it."

"Our mission this time is to find a flower called the blood orchid for Mr. William Douglas. This blood orchid possesses a magical power. It can significantly delay human aging and stimulate human genes. It is a very remarkable treasure."

"However, this treasure has an owner. Their owner is a giant python. Don't underestimate this giant python. After eating the blood orchid, they have mutated. As for how powerful their strength is, I don't know either."

"Alright, I have said all my information. I hope your Satan Mercenary Group will take care of yourselves."

Hearing the two words "mutated," Ed and Kenneth both gasped. Last year's Godzilla had turned "mutation" into a synonym for terror. Coupled with Ed's own encounter, they could imagine what kind of enemies they would face in the future.

"Understood." Kenneth was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "We agree to your request. Not only will the entire Satan Mercenary Group go, but there will also be three mercenary groups assisting us. However, I hope you can provide a large amount of heavy firearms."

"That's fine." Ye Nan nodded without hesitation. Anyway, these weapons came from the William family and had nothing to do with him.

"Since that's the case, I wish our mission success this time." Ed and Kenneth left together.

Kenneth? Ye Nan picked up the information in his hand, looked at the two words "Kenneth" on it, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
