When Chen Dong and Zhou Huimin finally came to their senses, they realized that everyone around them was looking at them with smiles.

Wolong and Chen Dong's assistant, along with other bodyguards, stood aside, smiling, chatting with the people who came down from the helicopter.

They were burly men, exuding a fierce and valiant aura. Even from a distance, Chen Dong could feel the stench of battle emanating from them.

The one in the lead was taller.

Chen Dong guessed that the leader was Zaire, the main leader of the Angel Mercenary Group, and that he held a high position in the organization.

Behind them were clearly followers or assistants.

At this moment, Chen Dong's assistant responded with a smile, appearing very polite.

Wolong, however, was secretly on guard as he looked at them.

He sensed a threat from these people.

Although their military skills may not be as good as his, they have been in a dangerous position for many years and are willing to risk their lives.

Sure enough, the other party also looked in Wolong's direction. Their eyes met, and then they looked away unintentionally.

After all, there is no conflict between them now; rather, they have an employer-employee relationship.

The people who got off the plane kept glancing at Chen Dong and Zhou Huimin.

They even paid more attention to Chen Dong, and their gazes were intense.

Chen Dong smiled; he could understand the group's behavior.

This is a billion dollars, so they're definitely thinking about getting their hands on the money.

As for them blaming themselves for neglecting them while being so affectionate with Vivian Chow?

Haha, that doesn't exist.

Anyone who encounters such a major incident, after rescuing their loved ones, wouldn't prioritize reuniting with them first?

As the major investor, he certainly has the confidence to do so.

He spent $1 billion and made such a big fuss just to rescue Vivian Chow!

Now that the goal has been achieved and my girlfriend is safe and sound, that's something to celebrate!

On the other hand, Zhou Huimin felt a chill run down her spine as she released Chen Dong and left his strong arms and broad chest, even though the sun was high in the sky and the temperature was rising.

It has to be said that this kidnapping incident really frightened her.

Chen Dong keenly sensed this and secretly made a decision.

At this moment, Annie also came forward, hugged Zhou Huimin's arm, jumped and laughed, then cried, and laughed through her tears.

“Sister Min, I’m so glad you’re alright! Otherwise, I would have been filled with unease for the rest of my life! You did all this for me…”

Vivian Chow then hugged her and comforted her, "Annie, it's okay, I'm perfectly fine."

The two huddled together again and whispered to each other.

"What, 1 billion, US dollars?" Zhou Huimin suddenly exclaimed, then looked at Chen Dong with disbelief.

Annie also looked towards Chen Dong's direction.

Yes, that's their man—capable of spending a fortune on them!

To provide them with a sufficient sense of security.

How many men in the world would be willing to go to such lengths for their women?

It's truly rare to see someone so enraged that they would risk everything for a woman!

For others, however, it's more about "every man for himself when disaster strikes!"

With a husband like this, what more could one ask for?

At this time, Chen Dong, through his assistant's introduction, met the leader and deputy leader of the Angel Mercenary Group.

Chen Dong extended a very sincere invitation to them to come to the hotel and talk with them.

He repeatedly expressed his gratitude to them.

In particular, they expressed their appreciation for their operational capabilities and military skills.

The leader and deputy leader of the Angel Mercenary Group did not mince words in response to Chen Dong's praise, simply saying, "As long as you are satisfied with our service, that's all that matters!"

The meaning is clear: we've finished the job and returned the person; shouldn't we settle the final payment now?

Chen Dong didn't hesitate; he directly instructed his assistant to notify headquarters to transfer the remaining $600 million directly into the other party's account.

The assistant agreed and immediately began the operation.

Soon, headquarters called to say the payment had been made.

At that moment, behind Zaire, the leader of the Angel Mercenary Group, an assistant stepped forward, holding up a phone, and excitedly said, "Leader, the money has arrived! 600 million US dollars!"

"Great, that's wonderful!" Zaire said, then looked at Chen Dong. "Mr. Chen, you're so generous. From now on, you're our brother!"

As he spoke, he clasped Chen Dong's hand.

"It's been a pleasure working with you... In the future, if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask! I'll definitely give you a friendly price and guarantee it will be done perfectly!"

Chen Dong readily agreed with a smile.

There was no doubt about the opponent's strength, and he believed that with this $10 in hand, the Angel Mercenary Group, now flush with cash, would definitely recruit more soldiers and expand its strength. Their ranking might even rise another place, or they might even reach the top spot.

Of course, there is also the possibility that this could lead to internal strife.

How things will develop depends on their resources and the commander's skills.

"Hehe, don't even mention it, I have a commission for you right now."

It turned out that Chen Dong had asked them to send a small team specifically to ensure their safety in this area.

"Hehe, okay, no problem at all."

After learning about Chen Dong's situation, Zaire immediately made arrangements: "I'm sending the strongest Fire Phoenix team to ensure everything goes smoothly! A friendly price: $800,000 per day!"

This is indeed a friendly price.

Normally, this kind of protection starts at at least $1 million per day.
