Chapter 429 - 417 Dangerous Moves
Jethro had arranged the meeting in an old building on the outskirts, which looked dilapidated from afar, seemingly abandoned. It was unclear why Jethro would choose such a place for the meeting.
Being completely unfamiliar with the terrain was particularly frustrating. Although Yang Yi wasn’t a professional when it came to his sideline as a mercenary, under the influence of Brian, Zhang Yong, and Alexander, he at least understood the critical importance of knowing the topography of the operational area, which could even be a matter of life and death.
If a fight actually broke out, not knowing the surrounding terrain would naturally be a huge disadvantage. It wouldn’t be too bad if neither side understood the terrain, but if the enemy were locals with a thorough knowledge of the area, that would leave them just hoping for luck.
However, there was no helping it, Jethro hadn’t informed Yang Yi and the others where they would be going in advance. In fact, Jethro kept it a strict secret, given that the Trident Mercenary Group wasn’t exactly Jethro’s trusted confidants, and not even the most basic trust had been established yet.
Because of this, Yang Yi felt that the likelihood of encountering danger on this outing was slim to none. Jethro had his own calculations; if he felt unsafe, he would not bring Trident along to protect him, even if he hadn’t brought many people with him.
The car approached the building, and as the distance closed to just a few hundred meters, Jethro spoke through the walkie-talkie.
"Stop the car ahead, I need to contact the other party. Guys, be ready, but do not fire without my command. If someone from the other side shoots, then fuck everything else, hit them!"
After instructing everyone through the walkie-talkie, Jethro went silent, presumably to make contact with the person he was meeting. Soon after, he spoke again through the walkie-talkie, "Keep moving."
The convoy started up again. When they were just over two hundred meters from the building, Jethro instructed over the walkie-talkie, "Alright, stop here!"
