"Sir, are you planning to assassinate Gao Ren in Japan?"
When William heard the butler state his thoughts, he nodded without any change in expression.
Upon seeing this, the butler immediately began to offer advice.
"master,"
"Why don't you reconsider?"
"If Gao Ren were to be assassinated in Japan under the guise of a military visit, it could very well be the start of World War III,"
"Those officials back home, especially Cook of the Seventh Fleet,"
"To prevent this from happening, he will definitely do everything in his power to find the killer."
How could William not know the butler's concerns!
But he has no way out now. Rather than be slowly tortured to death by Gao Ren and Klaue in a simmering manner, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water, he has no choice but to accept his fate.
It's better to fight back while you still have the ability to resist!
Do you think I have any way out now?
Upon hearing this, the butler glanced at the financial report he had just delivered to the table...
Just as he was about to nod and go call Mark, suddenly,
A servant came in.
"master,"
"An important message has just been released from the north!"
"What news?"
In response to William's question, the butler turned on the television in the office.
On the television, a man in a formal suit spoke with a stern expression.
"At the invitation of Japan,"
"General Gao Ren will depart for Japan at 9:00 AM tomorrow for a seven-day military visit!"
"To enhance mutual understanding and trust between the two countries in military matters!"
William completely ignored the nonsense about being invited by Japan.
If it weren't for Cook's scheming behind the scenes, William would have twisted his head off and used it as a ball!
What truly silenced William was what that person on TV had just said.
General Gao Ren!!!
When did Gao Ren become a general?!
This wasn't what angered William the most; what angered him the most was...
He didn't need to think to know that Gao Ren's promotion from lieutenant general to general was 80% due to him stepping on Gao Ren's past achievements.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but curse.
"Fuck!"
"Gao Ren, you just wait!"
"I will settle all scores, old and new, in one go!"
The butler waved for the servants to leave and then spoke.
"master,"
"The fact that the North announced Gao Ren's promotion to general at this time must mean they realized this trip to Japan was fraught with threat."
"That's why the rank of general was used to intimidate those who wanted to make a move,"
"so....."
Seeing the butler stop mid-sentence, William immediately gave him a murderous glare.
"Speak your mind!"
"What kind of behavior is this, stammering like that!"
After nodding in acknowledgment of his mistake, the butler began to speak.
"master,"
"Whether this mission succeeds or fails, everyone involved must die!"
These words immediately put William into deep thought.
William certainly wouldn't trust ordinary guards to carry out this mission.
After all, they had already failed several times in Hong Kong Island and the Sultanate.
But Mark was his last trump card...
After a long silence, William finally spoke.
"Bring Mark over here!"
Hearing this, the butler knew that William had made up his mind.
He stopped trying to persuade him, after all, he was just a butler, and the final decision rested with William himself.
"Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, at Crow's manor,
As Klaus watched the news on TV that Gao Ren had been promoted to general, he couldn't help but smile.
"Ha ha ha ha,"
"William will probably turn green with rage when he sees this news!"
Seeing the happy Crow, the butler immediately chimed in,
"His face might even contort with anger!"
Ha ha ha ha.....
Upon hearing this, Crow burst into laughter again.
"How's the negotiation going with the submarine pressure hull and anechoic tiles that Gao Ren wants? Georgesson hasn't given in yet!"
Upon hearing this, the butler shook his head with a troubled expression.
"master,"
“George and his gang are a bunch of insatiable bastards,”
"We had clearly agreed that each technology would cost $800 million, and the package price for both technologies would be $1.5 billion!"
"But just now,"
"George called to say that news of our deal had been leaked,"
"And in order to silence those people and ensure the transaction proceeds normally,"
"He increased the transaction amount from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion!"
Upon hearing this, Crow's smile vanished instantly!
He now has two choices.
If you agree, George will definitely find all sorts of reasons to ask for more money in the future!
If he doesn't agree, then the most important link in his cooperation with Gao Ren will be gone!
After a long silence, Crow gritted his teeth and spoke.
“Tell George that we agree!”
The butler showed no confusion upon hearing this, and simply inquired,
"Should we tell Mr. Gao about the price increase directly?"
"After all, we're just a middleman..."
Without the slightest hesitation, Crow spoke directly.
"I'll cover the extra billion first, but the news of my advance payment can't be told to Gao Ren directly. It has to be relayed to Gao Ren through an outsider!"
