Chapter 95 Reverse Psychology (2/2)
At the same time, there was a telescope that could be seen far away from the scene.
On the sand dune a kilometer away, Code 9, who was clad in yellow cloth, was observing the movement of the jeep with his telescope. He broke into a cold grin.
”The target has left the camp. He is heading north. I suppose he wants to set up his trap. He has probably discovered our existence and wants to employ reverse psychology to lure us into his trap instead.”
Since they knew that Han Xiao was hiding in Fabian Organization's camp, they were naturally spying on him.
”The enemy is pretty amateur.” Code 3 looked confident. He expected the upcoming mission to be an easy one since everything was under their control.
…
At dawn, Han Xiao back to the base and went to look for Antonio.
”You want me to help you drive?” Antonio looked shocked.
”Yes, I need you to drive since my hands will be tied up with firing the shots.”
”Wait… This is your mission; how does it concern me? Why must I help you?” Antonio was puzzled.
”It is rare for you venture out, so how can you just stay here and do nothing? Come out with me and experience the beauty of nature.”
Antonio pointed to the barren desert and asked, ”What nature is there to see here?”
”This is all just on the surface. Maybe we will see a magnificent mirage? Maybe there will be hidden mountains and rivers? The desert is very big; I am sure these sights can be discovered if you explore the area with a devout heart.”
”I don't think we are close enough to travel together,” Antonio replied in an awkward manner.
”Then give me a chance to be friends with you.” Han Xiao laughed out loud.
”… Did anyone ever tell you that you are very thick-skinned?”
Han Xiao touched his face mask. He was obviously thick-skinned. His mask alone was two layers thick.
Although Antonio looked obese, Han Xiao could sense the immense combat power that he possessed. Han Xiao had selected Antonio to be his driver as he knew that Antonio would be unlikely to commit any screw-ups or die so easily.
If it was an ordinary driver, the driver would die almost instantly upon contact with the enemy, and he would be left to fend for himself.
Antonio thought for a moment and said, ”If you want me to participate in the mission, I want a share of your earnings.”
”How about five percent?”
”No way! That's too little.” Antonio shook his head.
”Don't argue with me. You are just going with me to drive the vehicle. Five percent is already a generous offer.”
”If we meet any enemies, the driver will surely be the first target. At least twenty percent.”
Han Xiao widened his eyes in disbelief. ”Why don't you just go and rob someone?”
”That's precisely what I'm doing now.” There was a hint of cheekiness in Antonio's tiny eyes.
After arguing for quite some time, Han Xiao finally decided to appease Antonio with $20,000. Paying Antonio with hard cash was more reliable that just making a verbal contract. The collaboration between the two became an employment contract. $20,000 for a one-time driver was no doubt an extravagant spend.
Antonio squeezed his fat body into the driver's seat while Han Xiao sat at the back of the jeep. He then handed the radar coordinates to Antonio and briefed him on the plan.
Antonio chuckled after he heard the plan.
”Interesting.”
…
It was late in the morning. The sun was scorching, and mirages started forming under the intense heat of the desert.
The team that Ghostly Fox was leading only operated two jeeps. They were wandering around the desert and searching the surroundings.
”A jeep is approaching!” a trooper exclaimed.
An armored jeep appeared at the sand dune not far from their position. The jeep was travelling in parallel to their jeeps. It was the jeep with Han Xiao and Antonio.
”Enemy is approaching!” Ghostly Fox was delighted.
An eerie voice sounded from the communication device. The voice was cold and had the vibes of a killer. ”The prey is finally in the trap!”
