you’re a hot mercenary group now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite normal for someone to approach you proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if the employer wishes to invite us, they wouldn’t spread the news everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least they wouldn’t spread it before we turn them down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of contemplation, Gao Yang said, “I think someone must be lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as I know, the Colombian employer hasn’t specifically invited any mercenary group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a mission that anyone can take on—the only requirement is to get paid after completing the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I think that Justin lied to you, hmm, that Justin—if we accept his mission, what price do we have to pay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Donnie said in a displeased tone, “That bastard Justin demands a five percent agency fee, which is half a million dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think that guy definitely wants to have his cake and eat it too, taking money from us and then from the employer as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gao Yang and Little Donnie were on the phone call, Uriyangko suddenly said, “Gao, are you talking about Justin, that Italian Justin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full name Justin Tullius Cicero, that well-known intelligence broker?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeating Uriyangko’s question, Little Donnie immediately confirmed, “Yes, that’s him, Justin Tullius Cicero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received a definitive answer, Gao Yang said to Uriyangko, “Yes, it’s the same person you mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about him, do you know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko shrugged his shoulders and said, “In our line of work, as well as yours, anyone who’s a bit upmarket should know the guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, I not only know Justin, but I’ve also dealt with him on many occasions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, he’s indeed well-connected; he can get a lot of valuable intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his greed is as infamous as his ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to elaborate, he surely wants to take advantage of both sides again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s his usual tactic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded and then said over the phone to Little Donnie, “Reject that Justin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t decided whether to take on this business yet, and besides, we have another way to take on this business, so there’s no need to give him a commission of five hundred thousand dollars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Donnie replied gravely, “Alright, I’ll turn him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we have another way to take on this business, we have absolutely no reason to give Justin half a million dollars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just to confirm, are we talking about the same mission?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang was taken aback by Little Donnie’s question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, even though both missions were in Colombia for the same price of ten million, that didn’t guarantee they were the same mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation, Gao Yang said in a deeper voice, “What I know is that a drug lord in the northwestern region of Colombia wants to recapture his territory and access to the sea, so he’s offering ten million dollars to hire mercenaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know much about the specifics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can ask that Justin to see if his details match what I’ve said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s the same, then it’s the same mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, we can see which one is less difficult and take that one—ah, I mean, after we decide to go to Colombia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving instructions to Little Donnie and hanging up the phone, Gao Yang said to Uriyangko, “I feel like I have to go to Colombia now, everyone is recommending missions there for me; it’s too much of a coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve decided to start preparing in advance, regardless of whether I ultimately go to Colombia or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Uriyangko replied in a serious tone, “It’s up to you to go or not, but I think you need to make a decision quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Justin has this information, he’ll soon find a mercenary group willing to take on this job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, hurry up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For mercenaries, opportunities to earn big money are not plentiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mission that pays ten million at once is definitely considered high-paying; such missions are encounters of luck, not something you can seek out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang chuckled bitterly and said, “If it’s like that, then you might as well help me gather more information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll contact my people tonight to see what they think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone agrees, then we should take on this mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten million dollars is indeed a rare opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko nodded and responded, “Exactly, very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can get to Djibouti by tomorrow; I’ll urge my colleague to arrange for Tommy to get there as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, you can go to Colombia with a good marksman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang sighed and said, “Going to fight in the tropical rainforest, we’ll have to change equipment, and it would be best to find someone familiar with jungle warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time is tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see, anyway, after we get to Djibouti tomorrow, we’ll make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personally, though, I really, really don’t want to go to Colombia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko, puzzled, asked, “Why not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why aren’t you willing to take on a big job?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because you don’t want to get involved with the drug lords?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang shook his head and said, “Not just that, at least not entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just don’t want to fight in the rainforest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m super averse to rainforests—so stuffy, so hot, and the humid weather keeps you constantly damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, I’m a marksman, or call me a sniper if you will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a rainforest where visibility is only a few meters, I feel very insecure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the various insects, the snakes, and all the plants that make you feel uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>F**k, I hate rainforests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uriyangko unconsciously touched his arm and nodded in agreement, saying, “I’ve been to the rainforest, and as a Russian, I completely agree with your assessment that the rainforest is hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hang in there; money isn’t that easy to earn, buddy.” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you like this work, welcome to QiDian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support is my greatest motivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-06T10:19:38.027Z",1,"novelbin.me","867ab9a86b4ed051a129b174540c86c1b8d44b0c658f0fa9f9eb709b74754b64","mercenary-s-war-chapter-387","mercenary-s-war-chapter-385",2343,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmercenary-s-war-cover.jpg"]
