I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Victor spoke assuredly, "Chris, if it were just the loss of one assassin, I definitely wouldn’t be asking you for this. But now, all my assassins in Dragon Country are gone. If I am to continue this mission, I would need to bring in operatives from other countries into Dragon Country. If you’re not willing to pay more, I’m sorry, but I’m not taking the job. The deposit your employer paid me, I’m not giving it back."

With a heavy voice, Chris said, "Victor, that’s not very becoming of a big shot."

Victor sneered, "I don’t care about appearances. I know my people have suffered heavy losses, and if I’m to proceed with the mission, I need more money."

Chris said with resignation, "How much more?"

Victor laughed, "Add ten million US dollars, and no matter what happens after that, I’ll never ask you for money again, and I will certainly eliminate the target."

Chris asked, "Add ten million, you mean five million upfront?"

Victor shook his head, "No, the additional ten million needs to be paid in one lump sum."

Chris didn’t want to argue further, knowing well that once Victor had said so, no amount of talking would change his mind. He said, "I need to consult with my employer on this."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your news," Victor replied.

Chris put down the phone and dialed Qian Haoming’s number.

Soon, the call connected.
