Chapter 1399 - Collect Money From Both Sides (2/2)

“I tried to find him,” Gris said, “but he is not on the West Coast.”

“So, you got nothing?” Jiang Chen asked with an indescribable smile.

When Gris realized that the rich employer’s tone did not seem pleased, he did not try to sell the story further, and quickly added, “It’s too much to say nothing. Although I didn’t find him, I have found his whereabouts in the West Coast area! After he left Chinatown, he took about 20 subordinates into the desert along the highway from California to Nevada. They suffered heavy losses on the way, not only did they encounter mutant scorpions, but they also ran into a tribe of cannibals…”

“So, you mean, he is dead?” Jiang Chen asked.

“No, it’s the opposite.” Gris shook his head vigorously. “He is very likely to be alive, and with the last few men, he changed his path to bypass the Las Vegas suburbs and Hoover Dam, and headed for the Grand Canyon.”

“Why is he going to the Grand Canyon?”

“Rumors, just rumors!” Gris said immediately, “I heard it in the tavern in Liberty City a long time ago, saying that a concentration camp was built in the Grand Canyon before the war by NATO to detain those Pan-Asian immigrants accused of espionage. But the truth is that there is no concentration camp there, and those Pan-Asian immigrants did not commit any crimes. Instead, they were forcibly conscripted to the Grand Canyon by NATO Strategic Weapons Force to build a secret military facility!”

“What facility?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“No one knows!” Gris shook his head. “Maybe it’s some superweapon? Or it could be the military base of the NATO Missile Force? No one will go to the Grand Canyon. Almost half of the Death Claws in Nevada and Utah will go there to lay their cubs. It’s not the Grand Canyon, but the Death Valley there!”

Jiang Chen touched his chin while he was lost in thoughts.

The office fell silent for a while and Gris gulped while his mind was nervously tense.

After a long time, he tried to ask.

“What do you… think about my reward.”

“Oh, sorry, I almost forgot about that.”

Jiang Chen smiled, opened the drawer, took out a box of bottle caps, and slapped it on the table.

Gris was overjoyed when he heard the crisp clanks. He took the bottle cap box and repeatedly thanked Jiang Chen. After he obtained Jiang Chen’s permission, he exited the office.

As soon as the office door was closed, the smile on Jiang Chen’s face gradually turned cold.

He looked at Zheng Shanhe next to him and directly ordered.

“Get a team to follow him.”

“Do you suspect there’s a problem?” Zheng Shanhe’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

“It’s weird if there’s no problem.” Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed.

He had already gone outside of California and still dared to come back without finding Blood Axe. And the most important point Jiang Chen did not understand was how he could learn the whereabouts of Blood Axe so clearly. With such limited information, even if Sherlock Holmes was here, he would probably be blinded and confused on where to start.

There was only one possibility. An “informer” directly told him the information that could not be investigated.

And this person, most likely, was the man behind the abduction of the colonial residents!

“I’m going now!” Without wasting a second, Zheng Shanhe immediately walked out.

“Remember to find a few people with strong anti-reconnaissance ability and who are familiar with this area. Those mercenaries should have experts in this area. Don’t be stingy with compensation.” Jiang Chen reminded his captain when he walked out.

The office door closed again, and this time Jiang Chen was left alone in the room.

He got up and walked to the window. When he saw the hurried figure outside, a sneer gradually appeared.

You dare to collect money from both sides?

I hope you don’t regret your decision.
