A while later, Chen Zhao's phone rang.
It was Lei Ang.
"Chen, help me. The situation this time is very serious. If the fog spreads, it'll cause huge casualties to the cities on both sides of the artificial island."
"This isn't California," Chen Zhao said. "So I have no reason to do volunteer work. Plus, this is very risky for me. Shouldn't the military show enough sincerity when hiring someone?"
"But your asking price of $20 million is too high."
"No, no, no, it's not high at all," Chen Zhao said. "I think it matches my current value."
"Chen, just do me a favor."
"We're friends. Of course, I'm willing to help you."
Ha … We're friends?
Chen Zhao didn't believe it himself, let alone Lei Ang.
They'd never been friends.
But they weren't enemies now.
That was all.
Lei Ang was someone who prioritized benefits.
Back then, he'd become Chen Zhao's enemy mainly because the Supernatural Organization couldn't be controlled.
But now, Lei Ang wasn't the head of the Anti-Terrorism Security Department anymore.
So, whether the Supernatural Organization was controlled by the Anti-Terrorism Security Department or not had nothing to do with him.
So, it wasn't impulsive to become Chen Zhao's enemy now. It was stupid.
The Lake Pontchartrain Bridge incident this time had nothing to do with Lei Ang.
Lei Ang was just helping his colleague. It could also be considered an exchange of benefits.
If Chen Zhao helped, he was helping him.
If he didn't help, he wouldn't get hurt.
Anyway, Lei Ang was doing a business without buying or selling.
"So, you agree?"
"Lei Ang, something's wrong with my body recently. I accidentally hurt myself while practicing magic. I can die at any time, so I need to save money for my family."
"Okay, I understand. I'll send your condition to the military."
A while later, Demi came to Chen Zhao with a murderous expression.
"My superior has already agreed to your request. I can give you the money, but I'll only transfer it after you solve the problem."
"Cough … I haven't been feeling well recently. I'll go back and sleep."
"Wait … I can transfer 20% first," Demi said.
"Goodbye."
"50%. I'll transfer you $10 million first."
"I want everything, not a penny less."
Demi gritted her teeth at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao didn't trust Demi or the military.
If the military wanted to renege on the debt, there was nothing he could do.
Of course, it wasn't completely impossible.
It was nothing more than mutual harm.
But in the end, it was still Chen Zhao who was at a disadvantage.
"Okay, 20 million USD! I'll transfer the money now. "Demi compromised in the end.
There was no other way. Chen Zhao was too stubborn.
And every minute the Lake Pontchartrain bridge was blocked was a penny lost.
The pressure on Demi increased as well.
If this matter could not be resolved satisfactorily.
Then her development in the military would come to an end.
"The money has been transferred."
Chen Zhao nodded and walked out of the room. Portia said, "Help me check if there's any cash in my account."
"Yes, boss," Portia replied carefully.
A minute later, Portia stared at Chen Zhao in shock.
"Boss, you just received 20 million USD."
"Very good." Chen Zhao finally looked satisfied.
In any case, it was not a loss to make 20 million USD in one night.
"You can go now, right?"
"Of course. Hurry up and take me there. I really want to save those in danger right now."
Demi felt like her fists were thirsty.
If not for the fact that she couldn't beat Chen Zhao.
She really wanted to kill Chen Zhao now.
"Boss, where are you going?"
"Shopping," Chen Zhao said. "You want to come?"
"Really? Shopping? "
"Yes. Where's the nearest cemetery? Help me check."
Portia was about to break down.
"Boss, I'm tired."
"Forget it," Chen Zhao said considerately. "You can rest."
When Chen Zhao and Demi arrived at the elevator.
Demi saw that her subordinates were all injured.
Demi's face darkened. "Who did it?"
Everyone looked at Chen Zhao.
Demi glared at Chen Zhao. "You dare to attack my people?"
Demi had always been a very protective person.
Seeing her subordinates get beaten up, her anger exploded.
"Are they your people? I thought they were bad guys with bad intentions. "Chen Zhao looked at Demi innocently.
It was as if he was saying, "Trust me."
"You better not die in there," Demi cursed Chen Zhao viciously.
"Pfft, so many people want me to die, but I'm still alive and well." Chen Zhao glanced at Demi. "But the people who curse me will most likely die. You should be careful."
They arrived at the checkpoint at the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge.
Demi found the adjutant and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"The fog has expanded by 10%. We found another corpse in Lake Pontchartrain. Nothing else has changed."
"How's the preparation for our assault team?"
"We've already organized a team of 20," the adjutant said. "We're just waiting for the commander's order. Our assault team will enter the artificial island."
Demi looked at Chen Zhao. "Are you sure you want to go alone?"
"Anyway, I won't go with your people. With our grudge, I doubt you'll order your subordinates to shoot me."
The aide looked at Chen Zhao in surprise. He didn't know Chen Zhao.
He didn't know Chen Zhao and Demi's personal grudge.
However, he was surprised that Chen Zhao would say this in front of Demi.
"We're soldiers," Demi said with a dark expression. "We have moral boundaries."
"Moral boundaries? You're talking to me about moral boundaries? "Chen Zhao snorted." Is your moral boundary to go back on your word? Oh, don't blame me for your commander's death. If you hadn't instigated it, Paul wouldn't have died. "
"You finally admit that you did it?"
"So what if I admit it? Do you have evidence? Don't forget that you were watching me the whole time. You're my most powerful witness. "
"Most of the time, the military doesn't need evidence." Demi looked at Chen Zhao darkly.
"That's true," Chen Zhao sneered. "But you better ask your superior if you have the courage to do it to me."
"Guys, now's not the time to argue," the adjutant said, trying to smooth things over.
Only then did Chen Zhao and Demi stop arguing.
"Get me an isolation suit," Chen Zhao said. "Don't play tricks on the suit. If I find out, I'll flip out."
Ignoring Chen Zhao, Demi turned to the adjutant. "Assault team, prepare to enter the artificial island."
