307: Chapter 307 Is one hundred million enough?
A trap?
What trap?
The two envoys from the Pretty Country were stunned for a moment. They looked around, seemingly sensing no danger.
This...
However, General Max's eyes widened, filled with terror.
"General, what does this mean? Can you please be clearer..."
The two shouted inwardly.
They hesitated to speak.
But soon, they noticed movement around them.
A group of people slowly walked over from ahead.
"Mr. Lin Heng..."
The person arriving was none other than Lin Heng.
Lin Heng had now become a name familiar in every street and alley. How could the people from the Pretty Country not know Lin Heng?
They did not dare to underestimate the young man before them.
Instead, they felt only deep dread.
After all, the opponent's capability couldn't be called terrifying; it could only be described as unprecedented...
It seemed that the entire Africa was conquered under Lin Heng's direction!
"Hmm, you've arrived quite early."
Lin Heng hummed lightly, hands clasped behind his back, appearing mature beyond his years.
Just standing there put immense pressure on the two.
It was the first time the envoys from the Pretty Country had felt such mountain-like oppression from a young man.
Hiss...!
This guy... is truly extraordinary!
But their Pretty Country was not to be trifled with, so they quickly recovered.
This time, their Navy Commander had given the order: General Max must be brought back!
No matter the cost!
And soon...
They realized Lin Heng didn't seem inclined to release the general, which made the representatives of the Pretty Country vaguely sense that things were not simple.
One of the two envoys from the Pretty Country spoke up.
"Mr. Lin Heng, we have brought the money. I wonder if you can release General Max now? We still need to report back."
The two said, their expressions not looking very good.
Heh?
After hearing Lin Heng's words, he just smiled faintly.
"You brought the money?"
Upon hearing Lin Heng's tone, their expressions quickly turned ugly.
Tsk...!
What is this situation!?
Judging by Lin Heng's tone, he didn't seem very willing?
But they still braced themselves and spoke.
"Yes, that's right. It's on the trucks outside. One hundred million, all in cash. You can have someone count it."
He squinted his eyes and spoke faintly.
Now, he could already foresee the possibility of Lin Heng double-crossing them, but they had the backing of the Pretty Country, and there were over a dozen warships at sea. This was no joke!
If General Max's arrangements on the African continent were just small skirmishes, then their investment at sea was definitely enormous in terms of capital...
The two couldn't even be compared!
"Heh heh..."
At this moment, a faint chuckle made the two envoys from the Pretty Country pause.
Almost immediately after Lin Heng's chuckle, they instinctively felt that their subsequent situation was likely not going to be good.
And the bad thing General Max had mentioned earlier lingered in their minds like a nightmare.
They didn't know why, but after arriving at this academy, they felt as if they had walked into a dragon's lair...
"Mr. Lin Heng, is there something you are dissatisfied with? You can tell us what it is. As long as it is within our capability, we will do everything according to your wishes."
The two could no longer afford to be concerned with appearances; they could only yield.
After all, General Max had to be taken back...
"Easy, easy!"
Lin Heng clapped his hands and smiled slightly upon hearing this.
He snapped his fingers beside him.
Soon after, people began to walk over.
The people who followed were many, some wearing shackles, and even more bound by ropes, lined up one after another...
When the envoys from the Pretty Country saw these people, their expressions quickly changed.
Good heavens...!
These, these, these aren't their compatriots from the African continent?
How... did they all become Lin Heng's prisoners?
For a moment, their expressions became quite complex.
Tsk...!
"Mr. Lin Heng, what is the meaning of this?"
Their faces were ashen.
Lin Heng bringing these people out—did he intend to show mercy and let them go?
Only a fool would believe that!
However...
If Lin Heng were to demand some form of financial aid next... perhaps that was possible!
And very soon!
Just as the two were lost in their internal monologues, Lin Heng had already begun to reach out.
"Your Pretty Country soldiers have been eating my food and drinking my supplies these past few days. That's all been on my dime. Shouldn't you pay for this expense?"
Pfft...!
It could only be said that it happened exactly as expected!
The envoys from the Pretty Country, whose faces were already pale from the start, now looked utterly wretched, as if they had swallowed a live fly.
This damned fellow!
But to get their man back, they could only grit their teeth.
"Fine! Name your price. As long as there are no issues with our men, money is not a problem!"
The envoys from the Pretty Country said through gritted teeth, filled with anger.
Hearing this, Lin Heng's expression quickly changed, revealing a calculating smile.
