An hour later, Xu Zhengyang, who had prepared the convoy, walked in.

"General Gao, we can set off now!"

On the way, Gao Ren looked at the buildings reduced to ruins by rockets, and a hint of displeasure immediately appeared on his previously happy face.

"Damn it, how much money will it cost me to rebuild these houses and roads?!"

"Grass!"

"I hope that bastard Holmes doesn't fall into my hands, or I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Seeing Gao Ren's pained expression, Xiao Ying pointed to the construction team not far away and said...

"Ren-ge, it's about city reconstruction plus infrastructure construction,"

"These two things have at least solved the job shortage for nearly 100,000 veterans in the north,"

"When you return to the north from here, not only will Commander Xu and the other four commanders be grateful to you, but the higher-ups might also be grateful to you!"

"Besides, these guys are construction workers when they pick up electric picks, but soldiers when they pick up Type 56 assault rifles!"

"With them around, who in the entire Sultan dares to step forward?"

"With these advantages, what's the big deal about spending such a small amount of money!"

Seeing Xiao Ying's nonchalant attitude towards money, Gao Ren immediately pulled her into his arms and gave her a good squeeze.

"You make it sound so easy,"

"How much would those 100,000 people earn in a day?!"

"If things go wrong, not only will this place not make any money, but I'll also have to invest my own money upfront..."

Seeing Gao Ren's typical landlord-like attitude of letting money in but not letting it out, Xiao Ying was just about to say something disparaging about him when...

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello!"

"Yes, I'll pass on the message to General Gao!"

After saying this, Xu Zhengyang, sitting in the passenger seat, handed the phone to Gao Ren and said...

"General Gao, John is calling,"

"They say Holmes has been captured alive and can be executed at any time!"

Gao Ren, already annoyed by the extra money needed to repair his bombed-out house and roads, was further upset when he heard that Holmes had been captured alive.

His expression immediately turned cold.

"Is that even a question?"

"Skin him alive, damn it!"

"Let me spend hundreds of millions more dollars to build roads and houses,"

"Damn it, if I didn't dislike Blackie O'Dr. Biao, I would have dragged his wife to pay off his debts!"

Xu Zhengyang watched as Gao Ren started cursing without even answering the phone...

After a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face, he spoke.

"General Gao, John just said..."

"Holmes said he has a way to help General Gao open up the arms market in Central Africa!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ren's expression changed as quickly as a girlfriend's.

One second Gao Ren wanted nothing more than to skin Holmes alive, the next he was all smiles and kindness.

"Zheng, you've gone astray!"

Why didn't you tell me something so important sooner!

Faced with Gao Ren's attempt to shift the blame, what could Xu Zhengyang say besides awkwardly apologizing?

Upon receiving the call, Gao Ren spoke directly.

"John, are you sure Holmes isn't lying to me!"

Upon hearing this, John on the other end of the phone chuckled and replied,

"Mr. Gao, if I weren't absolutely certain about this matter, why would I call to disturb your peace of mind?"

“Just now, in order to verify the truth of Holmes’s words, I asked him to confirm what he said.”

"He then made a phone call to the Chadian warlord right in front of me, and the Chadian warlord said that as long as Mr. Gao's weapons were of good quality!"

"He's willing to buy five million US dollars worth of weapons first!"

Five million US dollars may not seem like much, but once the market opens up, there will be a steady stream of orders.

After all, this place has little else to offer but the most frequent fighting!

"Not bad, not bad!"

"John, you've done exactly what I wanted to do,"

"Don't worry, your family in America has been rescued by Mr. Crow, and they will appear before you in less than three days!"

Upon hearing this, John knew that he had initially gained Gao Ren's trust.

At the same time, Holmes doesn't have to die.

"It is my honor to help Mr. Gao solve your problem,"

"Oh, right, there's one more important thing,"

"Holmes also said that William personally called him last night and told him to use white phosphorus bombs against you, Mr. Gao!"

What is a white phosphorus bomb? It's a weapon known as hellfire.

William openly used this weapon against him; he must have been driven to desperation by his own actions.

That shouldn't be happening!

If he could lose his temper so easily, how could he have fought Crow for so long...?

After remaining silent for a moment without coming up with an answer, he stopped dwelling on the question.

"John, bring Holmes to Juba City!"

"Yes, Mr. Gao!"

After hanging up the phone, Elena seemed to sense Gao Ren's inner doubts and spoke directly.

"I've met William a few times!"

"If Crow is a cunning old fox, then William is a wolf lurking in the night!"

"He either doesn't make a move at all, or when he does, it's a deadly attack!"

"Five years ago, Crow and several other congressmen tried to take action against him, but William ruined those congressmen's reputations with just one move."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ren couldn't help but gasp.

In the United States, members of parliament are not only like local tyrants, but also coveted assets by two major factions.
