Chapter 3242
"You should know that any country in the world regards the crime of endangering national security as the worst and most serious crime, and it is a crime that is second to none! The highest sentence for this crime is the death sentence, and even the lowest sentence would be imprisonment for ten years or more. In that case, I'm afraid that we would have to spend billions or even up to tens of billions of dollars in compensation alone!"
Hunter could not help but feel a little alarmed. He knew that even though a mercenary organization such as Ten Thousand Armies seemed to be very powerful, in actual fact, a large part of its powerful nature came from the power of money.
Now that something as big as this had happened, if Ten Thousand Armies did not take out money to set things right, the remaining thirty thousand to forty thousand mercenaries might start to keep their distance from Ten Thousand Armies, one after the other.
After all, these mercenaries did not have any loyalty to any mercenary organizations. 4
They were unlike soldiers from every country who were driven by their patriotism and would willingly
die on the battlefield for their country without any complaints.
These mercenaries were entirely a group of wage earners, and it was their basic principle to accept money to work and to quit when there was no money involved.
This was just like employees from a company. If the boss was bankrupt and had no money to pay their wages, the majority of employees would merely look for a new job while appointing a lawyer to file a lawsuit for compensation. Employees who would starve to tide over the difficulties with their bosses were basically non-existent. 2
Therefore, the capture of these fifteen thousand men would be a huge test for Ten Thousand Armies.
So, Hunter could not help but ask, "Lord, what are you planning to do now?"
Porter had an extremely angry expression on his face as he said, "What other plans can I have now? The only solution is for us to hurry up and negotiate with the
government. We should try to satisfy their needs s 0 that they
release our men." 2 Co Will wProperty © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hunter asked again, "What if they refuse to agree, then? Should we fight our way in and get our men out?"
"Are you crazy?!" Porter glared at him and asked, "Do you want Ten Thousand Armies to openly declare war with a country? In that case, we would be incurring the wrath and anger of all the sovereign countries in the world. At that time, where will we gain a foothold when everyone will be turning away from us? Do you want us to head to Somalia to be pirates there? Don't forget that Somalia is a sovereign country too! If we invade a sovereign country, even if their own army cannot defeat us, the United Nations will also send their troops to exterminate us." 3
Hunter was stunned for a moment, and he could not help but say, "In that case, the only way left for us is to negotiate with them..." Porter let out a long sigh and said, "It's already April 1st today. There are only five days left until the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony..."
As he spoke of this, Porter then added, "Since they have already made a public announcement that they have arrested our men, I believe that they will definitely follow the basic international law and jurisprudence to put them on a public trial..." 2
"As soon as the public trial is held, it will take at least a few months for them to follow the process of gathering evidence, determining the evidence, prosecuting, and trying the prisoners..."
"In that case, kwill finish dealing with the Wade family affair first before I personally make a trip to the Middle East to negotiate with them. The best solution would be for us to compensate the other party with a lump sum of money so that they will release all of our men."
Hunter nodded, and he could not help but ask, "Lord, what do you plan to do with the Green-Eyed Wolf King when the time comes?"
"Him?" Porter clenched his teeth and said coldly, "I will take him back to Ten Thousand Armies and interrogate him personally in front of all the War
Kings and War Generals. I want to ask him why he surrendered and betrayed Ten Thousand Armies!" 5
