Brock was also moved by Jasper’s straightforwardness.
He immediately smiled, “Thank you! But having said that, can I ask what my teammates are going to do?”
These well-trained people were generally known as mercenaries. However, Brock’s mercenaries were of relatively higher quality, and they did not have the inferior character traits of those street punks.
Brock treated these people like brothers, and these people also treated each other with courtesy.
“I won’t hide anything from you. This time, you will be paid ten times more than before!”
As soon as Jasper said that, the people on the scene immediately exclaimed. It was because if they followed Jasper to do this, it would be equivalent to them getting several years worth of white-collar wages.
“But high rewards mean high risks, right?” Brock asked again, he was not stupid.
“That’s right. This time I want you to follow me to take down these oil fields!”
Jasper quickly took out the map and marked the location with everyone.
After seeing the location marked by Jasper, the people around Brock fell silent.
Everyone knew that this was a near-death mission. Obviously, everyone was weighing the pros and cons in their hearts to see whether this mission was worth the risk.
Brock finally broke the tension and said, “Alright, I’m willing to go!”
His sentence was equivalent to sending a signal secretly. It was saying that since he would be going, the rest of them could not get cold feet. And Brock’s words could be regarded as a guarantee.
At least they believed that they were not following a leader who would betray him. Thus, everyone soon reached a consensus. In order to win them over, Jasper directly paid one-third of the remuneration as a deposit.
“There’s no time to lose. How about we go now?”
“Sure, let’s go!”
Jasper, Julian, and Brock quickly took the fifty people in full armor and drove straight to the destination.
“I see what you mean. As long as we go at night, and then destroy the searchlights or cut off the power supply, no matter how many heavy weapons they have, they will misfire!”
Julian nodded earnestly, but he was clearly concerned too.
“But the question is, who should break into the enemy’s interior and find their power supply system to stand by?”
Brock suddenly looked at Jasper beside him.
“I think you can.”
“Me? Why?”
“Don’t worry, you will understand after listening to my explanation.”
