Chapter 255 - 254: What on Earth Do You Want
Mountain Eagle looked at the pale-faced Fishing Pole and couldn’t understand from the bottom of his heart how someone with this level of intelligence thought they could do the job of a middleman.
But thinking back to the people from the underworld he had seen and known since the Golden Triangle, he realized that taking risks might just be the norm in the underworld.
Not to mention merely helping Mario find mercenaries, even tasks like assassinating Boss Pu, as long as someone can put up a good price, there are people who will follow one after another to their doom.
"Clarity" is a precious quality in the underworld!
In regions where the cost of illegal activities is relatively low, ’clarity’ is even scarcer.
If anyone had mercenary resources in hand while the Donbass market was booming, and an Englishman came knocking, offering to introduce high-level contacts from Ukraine as a bargaining chip for some assistance, there would hardly be anyone who could refuse.
It’s known that securing a contract from the Ukrainian Government at this time, with a few high-ranking officials looking out for you, is a business that’s guaranteed to rake in big money.
A middleman not particularly well-known, if he can make a name for himself in a place like Donbass, can definitely enjoy long-term benefits for 5, even 10 years to come.
Keep in mind that Europeans can’t fight a war during this period, not to mention Ukraine—even the military strength of Russia itself has been dangerously undermined due to corruption.
If a middleman could become a recruitment agent, he would be able to extract unimaginable profits from a country.
Human traffickers send people to be sold into servitude, while these middlemen send people to battlefields to sell their lives!
