Chapter 536: Chapter 326: Undercurrents Surge_3

The client provided detailed intelligence information, including the target’s identity background, lifestyle habits, and recent travel arrangements.

His name is Chen Yiming, seventeen years old.

He lives in Building 30, Taoyuan District, Runzhou City, Jiangnan Province.

At first glance, he seems to be just an ordinary high school freshman.

Moreover, at the bottom of the document, there are the team leader’s verification results concerning the authenticity of the information.

Based on the team leader’s intelligence channels, it seems confirmed that this information is real.

In that case, the mission should not be difficult.

However, the mission location is almost akin to forbidden territory for most mercenaries.

Generally, they would not accept missions there.

But when they saw the amount of money for this mission, they immediately understood why the team leader accepted it.

The amount for this mission was staggering.

Simply by kidnapping an ordinary person, each person could pocket three million US dollars, and all expenses during the mission would be reimbursed by the client.

That was enough to tempt any squad.

The cost-effectiveness was extremely high.

One might think that mercenaries, who earn their livelihood on the blade’s edge, would earn enough.

In fact,

in conflict-ridden regions like the Middle East and Africa, mercenaries’ average daily earnings ranged from 500 to 2000 US dollars.

Even that was considered high.

In most less dangerous missions, it would be good if a mercenary’s monthly salary reached twenty thousand US dollars.

Occasionally, risking life and limb could yield an annual salary of two to three hundred thousand US dollars.

Now,

a mission that could make one wealthy enough to retire was laid before them.

"Look at this amount..." Jack’s voice trembled as he pointed at the numbers on the document, hardly believing his eyes.

Even as a seasoned mercenary, he couldn’t help but lose his composure at that moment.

"Indeed, it’s tempting, but we need to understand what this means,"

Carola Taylor said, frowning, her gaze filled with both excitement and concern.

The amount was too tempting, and the mission seemed too easy.

Something seemed off.

What if it was one of those trap missions leading to their destruction? They would be wiped out without a chance to get the money.

Or perhaps a pawn-like mission? Even after getting the money, they could be manipulated by someone behind the scenes, ultimately ending up with nothing.

However, based on her understanding of their team leader,

it seemed that the missions he accepted were generally well-researched and unlikely to have major issues.

Therefore, she couldn’t help but feel tempted as well.

Reyno Crowley, as a newcomer, although nervous and excited about such a high-level mission, had never seen such a big job.

So, he rubbed his hands and spoke, "We need to make thorough preparations and ensure there are no mistakes."

Thus, the three of them began to carefully analyze the intelligence in the document and discuss the operational plan.

They knew that a mission like this could not afford even a slight oversight as every detail could be a matter of life and death.

Although the difficulty of the mission seemed low, they still aimed to leave no room for problems.

...

While their well-known mercenary squad devoted their energy to this mission,

Several similar high-cost-benefit missions began circulating among internationally renowned mercenary teams.

Without exception,

most of these missions were kidnappings.

The targets invariably seemed to be ordinary people from Hua Country, including Chen Tianyou, Wang Qingli, Jiang Anping, Bai Shi, Sun Huwen, Cui Zixuan, Chang Yaning, Tan Bingtang, Shi Jie, Wu Xiangao, Zheng Yuliang...

If someone aggregated and studied these names, they would discover that besides nationality, the people being kidnapped seemed to share another common trait.
