William, who was lying prone on the slope, took out a Black Edge drone from his inventory. After activating it, he threw it into the air. Barney's voice could be heard through his helmet, "Damn you, Gunatore! Are you guys here yet? If you don't come, you'll have to collect our corpses!"
"Reload! Quick, reload!" Kaiser's anxious voice could be heard again.
"One more minute. Hang in there, guys. We'll be here in one more minute." Gunatore was also very anxious in the channel. "Thor, lower your altitude. I need an angle to shoot.
Dive down, "William said as he looked at the Black Edge drone he threw out." Gunatore, follow my line of sight and attack. The Black Edge will provide the target. "
The channel suddenly went silent for a few seconds. Then, cheers from the suicide squad could be heard. Barney said in surprise, "God, boss, we're so glad you're okay. We thought you were dead. Guys, let's cover each other and retreat. The boss is fine. There's no need to stay on the side of the road and fight to the death with these soldiers."
"Understood." "Understood." The sound of machine guns suddenly stopped for ten seconds. Then, the two machine guns began to fire alternately.
William watched as Barney and the other four took turns to retreat. After retreating for about a hundred meters, Barney and the other four finally retreated behind a rock shelter. They stabilized their position and began to counterattack in an orderly manner.
"Hide well. I'm coming, guys." Gunnar's voice came from the earpiece. William turned his head and saw a seaplane diving down from the sky one to two kilometers away. Then, the front of the plane lit up with fire.
Bang! Bang! Bang! It took two seconds for the unique sound of machine guns to reach William's ears. When the mercenaries who were chasing Barney and the others heard the sound of the machine guns, they immediately either crouched down or hid behind rocks.
However, how could a human's speed be faster than a cannon shell? A straight line of explosion was drawn on the ground by the cannon.
William took the opportunity to fire at the mercenaries with his 416. The modified 416 in his hand could reach an effective range of 800 meters, and its accuracy had improved a lot.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu" William used the 416 to create a continuous sniping effect. Those mercenaries who were three to four hundred meters away from him were quickly cut down like wheat.
By the time Barney and the others joined in the attack, the remaining dozens of mercenaries had already begun to think of retreating. When Thor and Gunnar flew the plane back to the battlefield, it immediately became the last straw that overwhelmed the will of the mercenaries.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The mercenaries who weren't in the firing range of the autocannons began to run in the opposite direction.
William did not shoot at the fleeing mercenaries. The mission target had been captured, and Monroe and Garça were dead. William did not need to care about what would happen to the island in the future. That was the South American government's business.
After meeting up with Barney and the others, they drove the military truck quickly to the dock on the island. Thor and the others would be waiting for William and the others.
After getting rid of a few eyesores who wanted to shoot at them and confirming that the dock was safe, William and the others waited for the plane to arrive.
They were in a good mood after completing the mission and did not notice a young and beautiful woman staring at them with gratitude, hatred, and confusion in the dilapidated building on the second floor in the distance.
The gratitude and confusion in the beautiful woman's eyes were so strong that it completely covered the hatred in her eyes. William, who had always had a strong spiritual perception, did not notice that someone was staring at them.
If William turned his head, he would find that the woman named Sandra was the daughter of the former owner of the island.
William could not imagine what kind of achievements this woman, who was not worth mentioning in his eyes, would have more than ten years later, and what kind of impact she would have on the world.
As soon as William boarded the plane, he saw Edward hanging by Gunnar. William looked strangely at the excited Gunnar who took off his helmet. "Did you eat flour? Gunnar. "
Hearing William's unfriendly tone, the arrogant Gunnar immediately shook his head. "Don't worry, boss. I haven't met anyone since I started making a lot of money. I'm a rich man now, and I don't need to live a hopeless life like before. I still want to have a wife and children like Barney and the others."
William turned his head to look at Barney. Barney looked at Edward, took off his helmet, and nodded with a smile. "I promise Gunnar didn't touch those things again."
The others also confirmed it. William used his power of the will to feel Gunnar's heartbeat. When he felt that Gunnar's heartbeat was very stable, he believed Gunnar's words. He pointed at Edward and asked, "This is?"
Gunnar heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that William did not care about him eating flour in the past. He did not want to get out of the plane at this time. He had never met a boss as generous as William in his more than ten years as a mercenary. His dream now was to make a lot of money, retire, get married, and raise children.
Gunnar chuckled as he rubbed his head. "Hehe, boss, this guy is useless now. He's already told us everything he knows. I think we should head straight to South Africa. There's something there that you'll definitely be interested in."
"What is it?" Gunnar's words made William curious. There were not many things that could interest him now. "Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me."
Gunnar pointed at Edward and said, "This guy is looking for a red diamond that weighs more than sixty carats. It's as big as a pigeon's egg. I heard that it's a flawless diamond."
Before Gunnar could finish, William interrupted him. "Didn't you say it was a pink diamond? Why is it a red diamond now? "
"Hmm, boss, do you know?" Gunnar looked at Edward suspiciously and said, "This guy said it was a red diamond."
Barney shook his head and looked at Gunnar helplessly as he scolded, "God, are you an idiot, Gunnar? The largest red diamond found in this world is only 5.11 carats. If there really is a 60-carat flawless red diamond, do you know how much it would be worth?"
Gunnar pouted and muttered, "How would I know? I used to be a pauper who spent all his money."
William said, "The starting bid is at least one billion USD. The final bid might even double. If someone who's not strong enough owns it, they'll immediately become the target of all the thieves and assassins in the world. Wake up, Gunnar."
"Okay," Gunnar said dejectedly when he heard William's words, "Damn it, I shouldn't have cared about red diamonds or pink diamonds. I was thinking of waiting for you to cut off the red diamond and give it to me.
Sigh, I should've just bought a Debs diamond ring that's worth a few hundred thousand USD. God, why are women so crazy about diamond rings? Debs and the other diamond dealers are making all the money. "
"Wait," William suddenly had an uncertain idea when he heard Gunnar's words. A sixty-carat pink diamond wasn't worth a hundred million USD in this era, so William didn't care much about it. However, if he could take a bite out of Debs, then it wouldn't be just a matter of a few hundred million USD.
It would be a matter of a few hundred million or even a few billion USD.
