Chapter 56

On the waterway leading to the Yamaxunhe basin, a small ship was moving rapidly. This ship presented a silver-white color as a whole, with lights shining on it, and the glass-like luster was dazzling even in the daytime.

On this ship, which looked more like a luxury small cruise ship than a fishing boat, Ye Nan was holding a glass of wine, looking at the constantly changing beautiful scenery, and drank it in one gulp.

"We will reach the Yamaxunhe basin soon." Ellie was wearing a white lady's shirt, jeans on her lower body, hiking shoes on her feet, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on her face, and was constantly flipping through information in her hands.

Since saying goodbye to Ye Nan, Ellie had gone to handle the expedition team alone. Because of the death of Grant, the leader of the expedition team, she had to disband the expedition team and boarded Ye Nan's luxury small cruise ship, becoming a member of Ye Nan's expedition team.

In front of Ellie, many mercenaries wearing uniform black special combat uniforms occupied every corner of this small cruise ship, making the entire small cruise ship look a little crowded.

"I say Mr. Ed, your people are turning around on it, disturbing my interest." Ye Nan sat on a silver-white beach chair, wearing a pair of black sunglasses, wearing ordinary short sleeves and pants, just like he was here for a trip instead of looking for something.

"Hmph." Ed snorted and didn't speak.

Since Kenneth came back last time, he had applied to withdraw from the mercenary group. When he asked, he found out that Ye Nan threatened Kenneth with Kenneth's daughter, forcing Kenneth to work for him. So he didn't have the slightest bit of goodwill for Ye Nan, the person who needed to be protected. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Nan was the person they needed to protect, and the William family was a behemoth they couldn't afford to offend, he would have already punched him, letting this damn playboy know why flowers are so red.

Yes, playboy. In Ed's eyes, Ye Nan was a playboy. If it could be said that Ye Nan's performance at the first meeting made him a bit surprised, then Ye Nan's subsequent performance was just like a playboy.

Driving a luxury small cruise ship over, not paying attention at all to what is called "wealth should not be revealed," he only did this to attract some damn people to have ideas about this, wasting ammunition in vain.

"I know you are angry with me, but a good bird chooses a tree to perch on. Kenneth's choice is right. How about it, why not join my mercenary group?" Ye Nan picked up the wine glass, looked at the distorted Ed through the blue water wine in the glass, and suddenly felt it was funny.

For this search for the blood orchid, Ye Nan could be said to be determined to win. Not only did he come in person, but he also invited a team of people in the name of a hospital company.

Jack, a very greedy person—Ye Nan gave him enough money. He believed that Jack would definitely bring him some surprises, because Ye Nan knew that he was someone who would stop at nothing for money.

"We're here." Ellie looked at the large patches of forest and reeds in the distance and immediately said, and at the same time whispered: "We should bring that thing out."

"Hmm." Ye Nan snapped his fingers, and an attendant beside him immediately took out two sets of black adventure suits from below.

Don't look at the clumsy appearance of this adventure suit; in fact, it was made of the latest researched alloy fiber. It was originally intended for the United States to develop secret combat weapons, and Ye Nan took out quite a lot through the relationship of the William family.

From the plot of *Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid*, it could be seen that in the Amazon, the heart of the Earth, there were many poisonous things. Although these things were small, they were very deadly. If one were not careful, one would die in it. Ye Nan didn't want to go in wearing exposed short sleeves; that was just taking his own life as a joke...

Seeing Ye Nan putting on the clumsy adventure suit, Ed immediately mocked: "Rich people are precious; even entering the forest requires being fully armed."

Ed's words immediately caused laughter from many mercenaries. This group of mercenaries was not trained in any army; they were trained in the flames of war. They were more elite than soldiers, but they didn't have the quality of soldiers who followed orders.

They didn't care who the client was. Even if it was their own head, they dared to joke. After all, walking on the edge of life and death, the pressure was also great. If they were not careful, they would die, so they all had a dissolute feeling.

Ye Nan heard their mockery but didn't care, just said lightly: "In the jungle, there are many small things. Don't suffer losses."

"Rest assured, Mr. Ye Nan, we are mercenaries, and it's not like we haven't been to the Yamaxunhe basin. We know how to deal with them," Kenneth said calmly, speaking out to help Ye Nan.

He had already made up his mind to defect to Ye Nan, and this mission was his last mission. Once completed, he would defect to Ye Nan. Of course, this was also because Ye Nan gave him enough promises.

For example, all the doctors in the United States were gathered by Ye Nan in the name of Weihe Venture Capital. They built a large private hospital on an overseas island in New York, and the only patient in this hospital currently was Kenneth's daughter, Sola.

"Kenneth." Ed glared at Kenneth, his lips moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

His relationship with Kenneth was very subtle. On the battlefield, in training, and in life, they were both inseparable good partners, having long treated each other as brothers who lived and died together. Many mercenaries mocked them as gays, but they knew themselves that this was the feeling between brothers.

But now, this pair of brothers was about to separate, which made him feel a bit sad and reluctant. He really wanted to keep Kenneth and at the same time tell Kenneth, "I'll treat your sister's illness." But his reason stopped him. According to Kenneth's description, this disease required a large amount of funds. Of course, if it were just money, he would grit his teeth and pay it for Kenneth, but wanting to cure it was very difficult.

They were mercenaries. Although they had money, they had no social status and no influence. But Ye Nan was different. As the president of the ICQ company and a guest of the William family, Ye Nan's influence was definitely not something their mercenary group could compare with. Ed was completely powerless.

Hearing Ed's angry reprimand, Kenneth also felt a sense of sorrow in his heart. The feelings of three years, how could they be put down just by saying so? It was just for his daughter that he had to make a choice.

"Hi! Someone!" From a distance, there were calls. Several young men and women wearing short sleeves were constantly waving their arms on the land, summoning Ye Nan and others to go over.

"Go over and see." Ye Nan's gaze fell on a man wearing a black short shirt. This man was Jack, whom he had hired, but he didn't know why Jack would appear here.

"He didn't go to find the blood orchid, why would he appear here?"
