After entering the tunnel, there were about a dozen square meters of internal space which was connected to electric lights, and a ventilation pipe was connected from the entrance of the tunnel directly into the interior, thus constantly sending fresh air into the interior. Upon entering, Hamed introduced to Charlie, “We are currently fully excavating a large number of hidden fortifications and tunnels. It will not be long before all these tunnels will be directly connected to one another. Even if it cannot all be fully connected, at the very least, the ventilation, water supply, and power supply will be opened up first. After that, we will continue improving the internal environment and strive to make the tunnels more livable!”Charlie nodded slightly and said, “I can see that all of your buildings in the valley have already basically been flattened. Do you have any plans for such a large space?”“How can I have any plans?” Hamed said, “As soon as the opponent starts firing, the ar

Hamed initially did not know about the modality for the collaboration between Ten Thousand Armies and the government. He had originally thought that the government had paid to hire Ten Thousand Armies. However, after putting some thoughts into this matter, Hamed constantly felt that something was not quite right. This was because the government’s biggest problem had always been their shortage of funds. Even their own soldiers lacked medication, guns, and ammunition. So, how could they possibly have enough money to hire mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies? It was just yesterday that he had received news that the terms of the collaboration between Ten Thousand Armies and the government were that if Ten Thousand Armies were to help the government eliminate the opposition forces completely, the government would then allocate a piece of land with an area of one hundred square kilometers to Ten Thousand Armies so that they could build their first mercenary base in the Middle East. How

As he spoke of this, Hamed then said, “Although it is also very chaotic in Africa, to put it bluntly, all the war-torn countries in Africa are all extremely poor, and it is indeed very difficult for mercenaries to make a living in those kinds of places. However, the Middle East is different. Many countries in the Middle East are very rich, and even Iran, which has already been sanctioned for a long time, is actually very rich. Moreover, all of them have a demand for mercenaries, and they are all willing to spend money to hire them. So, this is actually a very huge market for mercenaries.”“Besides that, there is a lot of heavy weaponry and equipment in the Middle East. It is basically an exhibition hall of the weapons and equipment from both the East and West, and amongst them, Russian-made weapons and equipment are the most. As long as anyone has money, there is basically nothing that they cannot buy. If Ten Thousand Armies were to really build a base in Syria and acquire a batch of

Charlie felt that it would really not be realistic at all if he were to truly search for the whereabouts of the opponent’s supreme commander amongst all the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies so that he could have control over him.Everything else aside, Charlie still did not even know who the opponent’s supreme commander was or what he looked like.At that time, there would be more than ten thousand men inside. Even if Charlie could successfully infiltrate them, he was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to find and determine the identity of the other party within a day or two.However, if he were to look at this problem from a different perspective, it would not be so complicated.Charlie could just go over there and meet with him directly. When Hamed heard Charlie’s words, he immediately exclaimed in shock, “How can we do that? Brother Wade, you will have a very slim chance of surviving this! How can you go and take this risk?!”Charlie simply smiled indifferently

Charlie laughed and said, “Why should you be afraid even if you are a turtle in a jar? As long as the jar is strong enough, it would simply be impossible for the opponent to break your strong jar in such a short time.”As he spoke, Charlie then said, “Moreover, you have to understand one thing. Your current situation is completely different as compared to theirs. Although you might be trapped inside the jar, at the very least, the jar is your own lair. You are just trapped inside your own home, and you have food and drinks in your own house, so what do you have to be afraid of? It’s not only that you do not need to be afraid at all, but the quality of your life will not decline at all because you’re trapped here.”As he spoke of this, Charlie then laughed and said, “But the people who are besieging you outside are not having it as easy as you are. The twenty to thirty thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies and the government will have to brave the wind, be deprived, and also endu

Ten Thousand Armies’ Zayne’s condition during these few days was indeed as Charlie had guessed. He felt incomparably tormented.He had originally thought that if their army suppressed and pressured Hamed’s base by besieging him without fighting, this would definitely place huge psychological pressure on Hamed and his men. That way, it would not even take long for Hamed’s internal forces to become disorganized or even defect from Hamed’s army.However, what Zayne really did not expect was that even after a few days had passed, not even a dog had run out of Hamed’s base.In this kind of siege war, what a person would fear the most was if the enemy was strong and united. Once the enemy was not afraid, they would have continued besieging the enemy indefinitely until Hamed ran out of ammunition, food, or if he could not continue holding on any longer.Over the past few days, Zayne’s financial deficit had been alarmingly high. His adjutant had looked for him and reported to him worri
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3206
As he spoke, the adjutant then said, “The basic level soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies are the purest mercenaries. They train hard to fight, and they are willing to risk their own lives while doing it just because they want to make more money so that they can enjoy life. Otherwise, why do you think they would be willing to risk so much and come out here to do this kind of work?”Zayne suddenly had nothing to say.He understood Ten Thousand Armies’ current situation very well.Although Ten Thousand Armies had the Four War Kings as well as up to more than a hundred excellent War Generals, almost all of the tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers in Ten Thousand Armies had only joined Ten Thousand Armies exclusively for the sake of making profits.These mercenaries did not have any loyalty to Ten Thousand Armies at all. All of them only felt that Ten Thousand Armies had a pretty good organizational profit, scale, and also popularity. So, that was the reason why they chose to work so h

“Peace negotiation?!”Upon hearing Hamed’s initiative for a peace negotiation, Zayne immediately said angrily, “This b*stard killed more than two thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies and embarrassed us, making us lose our reputation in the international mercenary field. Now, he still dares to come and ask for a peace negotiation with me?! Let me tell you, that is absolutely impossible! Our Ten Thousand Armies will never agree to it!”The supreme commander of the government then asked rhetorically, “You’re not willing to have a peace negotiation, and you’re not willing to attack either. So, are you going to continue wasting time here?”Zayne said coldly, “Didn’t we already reach a consensus on not agreeing to any peace negotiations a few days ago? At that time, everyone’s opinions were all unified, and that is for us to wipe out Hamed’s army. Could it be that you have already changed your mind now after just a few days have passed?”The other party spoke up and said, “The situ

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi
