Chapter 58

Thanks to "Don't Say Mud and Sand" for the tip.

At the bottom of the luxury cruise ship, in Ye Nan's room, a bookshelf was neatly arranged, on which were some poems and essays from the ancient East, and handwritten copies of various famous masters.

This was collected by Ye Nan. As a rich man in the United States, he naturally had to enjoy life well. I don't know who said a sentence, "People are born to enjoy." Ye Nan agreed with this sentence very much.

Knock knock knock! There was a series of knocks on the door outside. Ye Nan heard it and immediately knew who was coming. He had a smile on his face and said: "Come in."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Jack, wearing a black shirt and a shrewd crew cut, walked in. His pair of rat eyes kept looking around, no matter how you looked at it, it was wretched.

"Jack, you're here." Ye Nan closed the book in his hand and looked at him, his manner indifferent, "Do you know that your mission failed?"

"Respected Mr. Ye Nan, the failure of the mission has nothing to do with me." Jack hurriedly defended himself: "It was all that damn Gale. If it weren't for her wanting to leave, I would have already obtained the blood orchid and offered it to the respected Mr. Ye Nan."

"And sir, Ban in our team has sacrificed. He was swallowed by a huge python. He died so pitifully. He was my partner, the one I gathered, *sob sob*..."

As Jack spoke, he wailed loudly, constantly blaming himself while crying, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Ban wouldn't have come here. If he hadn't come here, he wouldn't have died here. His bones were eaten by the huge python, and not even a single remnant could be found. It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

Ye Nan looked coldly at Jack wailing loudly, not intending to speak at all. He knew Jack's character, which completely belonged to the kind of person who sees money and opens his eyes. Let alone a small friend, even if it were his own girlfriend, as long as the other party gave enough money, he would abandon her just the same. Now like this, it was nothing more than wanting to gain his sympathy.

Ye Nan picked up his book again and observed it carefully. Zhu Ziqing's *Moonlight over the Lotus Pond*—I have to say, it was very suitable for cultivating one's temperament.

However, Jack's crying became more and more severe, constantly saying sorry to Ban. It was so noisy that Ye Nan didn't even have the mood to read, and his heart became annoyed.

"Enough." Ye Nan roared, scaring Jack into immediately closing his mouth, "Tell me, what exactly is going on."

Jack then closed his mouth and told the story.

It turned out that after he obtained Ye Nan's promise, he immediately found his friends Shan and Ban, and found Evanston who drove the ship, the tour guide Paul Sharon, and the ship's hand Marden and others.

They used the excuse of exploring the jungle to pull in a few real explorers, and finally, they successfully avoided the local Shuer tribe and some cannibals, and found the existence of the blood orchid, but this was the beginning of the nightmare...

Jack told all his experiences, then excitedly said: "Sir, give me another chance, I will definitely complete my mission. We have already found the location of the blood orchid. We only need to kill all those damn pythons to complete the mission you gave me."

"Hmm..." Ye Nan's fingers tapped on the table slightly, making a *dong dong* sound. Following Ye Nan's rhythm, Jack's heart was also constantly swaying.

Ten million—this was the price Ye Nan gave him. As long as he could find the blood orchid, he could get ten million US dollars, and Ye Nan's advance payment was one million US dollars.

Originally, with this money, he immediately planned to run away. He didn't want to look for the blood orchid at all. However, the temptation of ten million US dollars was really too great, so great that he couldn't resist. For it, he could even give up his life...

Now, seeing that he was about to succeed, it was destroyed by the damn python, and that even more damn old hag Gale was afraid and wanted to go back. But fortunately, Ye Nan came. Seeing the mercenaries Ye Nan brought, his mind immediately moved.

No matter how powerful the python was, it was still a beast. Could it be able to resist a submachine gun? And looking at the dress of that group of people, he knew they were not ordinary security guards. That kind of black special combat uniform, he had only seen on TV.

"Respected Mr. Ye Nan, give me a chance to make a contribution for you and bring the blood orchid to you." Jack was almost about to kneel down.

"Mr. Ye Nan, can I come in?"

"It's him?"

A voice familiar to Jack came in. In an instant, the owner of this voice appeared in Jack's mind: Paul Sharon, who had been following Marden.

Paul Sharon walked in, and the first thing he saw was Jack, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Let me introduce, Paul Sharon, my tour guide, and it is precisely because of him that I know of the existence of the blood orchid." Ye Nan walked to Paul and said to Paul: "This is Jack, a member I hired to collect the blood orchid, but unfortunately, his mission failed."

"Respected Mr. Ye Nan, Paul expresses his highest respect to you. If Mr. Ye Nan wants the blood orchid, Paul can serve you. You don't need to find that kind of waste to look for it." As Paul spoke, a hint of contempt flashed on his face.

Hearing Paul say he was waste, Jack felt very uncomfortable, but with Ye Nan present, he couldn't say anything, just kept this sentence in his heart.

"Alright, Paul, I know you are very powerful." Ye Nan walked back to his seat and sat down, "But what I need is perfection. I want to take the blood orchid away, because it blooms only once every seven years."

"So you must cooperate sincerely and absolutely cannot allow any mistakes. In addition, you can utilize that group of people. That Gale is just a small employee of the company and doesn't need to pay attention to her opinions at all."

Ye Nan's gaze sank, "If you fail, then don't think about walking out of this primeval forest."

Hearing Ye Nan's words, Jack was immediately startled. He had never thought that this child would say such things, but thinking of the group of people on his ship, he knew that Ye Nan was definitely not scaring them. If they really couldn't complete the mission, I'm afraid they shouldn't think about walking out of this forest.

Thinking of this, Jack couldn't help but regret, regretting why he didn't take the one million US dollars and leave, and instead coveted ten million US dollars. But he didn't think that since Ye Nan dared to pay one million US dollars, how could he allow him to embezzle the money and escape?

Paul was also startled by Ye Nan's ruthless words, then said confidently: "Rest assured, respected Mr. Ye Nan, I, Paul Sharon, swear in the name of the Shuer tribe, I will definitely bring you the blood orchid."

"I look forward to your news. In addition, the Satan Mercenary Group and the Death Scythe Mercenary Group outside will provide you with support."
