Chapter 1475
Lord Protector Novel
Having said that, Ares left.
As soon as he returned to his room, Ares hurriedly made a call.
He spoke to the other party as Connor Black.
âJessie, itâs been so long. How are you doing?â
Jessie was the brother of Jeffrey, the head of the Devil Punisher.
The brothers were in the same line of business, but Jeffrey was the leader of an assassin group, whereas Jessie led a team of mercenaries.
This group of mercenaries was partially controlled by their country.
It was an open secret that they were working together with the United States to destroy Eurasiaâs economy.
The Devil Punisher had mercilessly attacked Eurasiaâs assets and companies in the United States, causing tremendous damage to Eurasiaâs economy.
A while ago, when Eurasiaâs richest man, Matthew, went on an expedition and stopped by the United States, Jessieâs team ambushed him.
Every time they caused damage to Eurasiaâs economy; the United States government would secretly reward them with a hefty sum of money.
Ares wanted Jessieâs team to be the fake Demon Slayersâthe scapegoats.
There was a hint of bewilderment in Jessieâs tone. It was obvious that he had assumed that Gerome was dead.
âConnor Black, I didnât think youâd still be alive.â
Ares sighed. âI was lucky to have built connections in Eurasia. That saved my life at the crucial moment. I didnât just survive, though. I am now leading a good life with a new identity.â
Jessie asked, âDid you call just to brag?â
Gerome quickly added, âOf course not. Your brother died in Eurasia, Jessie. Would you like to avenge his death? If so, I can help you.â
Jessie scoffed, âSorry, but Iâm not interested. Jeff died in Eurasia because he was too incompetent.
There is no vengeance to seek. If that is all you have to say, then Iâll hang up.â
Um....
Ares was stunned.
He didnât expect the siblings to be so distant that Jessie didnât care enough to avenge his brotherâs death.
Initially, Ares intended to lure Jessie to Eurasia with Jeffâs death and kill him, but now it seemed that his plan wouldnât work.
But Ares wasnât going to give up so easily. His gaze shifted as a new strategy popped up in his head.
âJessie, wait,â said Ares. âI actually called to make a business proposal.â
Jessie was way more interested in the business proposal than his brotherâs death.
Jessie wos woy more interested in the business proposol thon his brotherâs deoth.
Jessie sounded omused. âGo on.â
Ares continued, âI heord thot you hove been wonting to kill Eurosioâs Minister of Finonce, Tim Gunn, to onnihilote Eurosioâs economy. I con help you with thot.â
Huh?
A distrustful look crept up Jessieâs foce. âYouâre going to help me kill Tim? Why would you do thot? You wonât get onything out of thot monâs deoth.â
Gerome sighed. âTo tell you the truth, the power thot come with my new identity is restricted by Tim Gunn, ond I conât rise to the top with him oround. Thot is why I wont you to help me toke him out. Donât worry. I will poy you hondsomely for your work.â
Jessie wos suddenly motivoted.
He didnât core obout the money thot Gerome wos going to offer him.
Killing Eurosioâs Minister of Finonce ond destroying the countryâs economy would moke Jessie the United Stotesâ hero!
His nome would live on forever.
Jessie soid coutiously, âShore your plon with me.â
Jessie was way more interested in the business proposal than his brotherâs death.
Jessie sounded amused. âGo on.â
Ares continued, âI heard that you have been wanting to kill Eurasiaâs Minister of Finance, Tim Gunn, to annihilate Eurasiaâs economy. I can help you with that.â
Huh?
A distrustful look crept up Jessieâs face. âYouâre going to help me kill Tim? Why would you do that? You wonât get anything out of that manâs death.â
Gerome sighed. âTo tell you the truth, the power that came with my new identity is restricted by Tim Gunn, and I canât rise to the top with him around. That is why I want you to help me take him out. Donât worry. I will pay you handsomely for your work.â
Jessie was suddenly motivated.
He didnât care about the money that Gerome was going to offer him.
Killing Eurasiaâs Minister of Finance and destroying the countryâs economy would make Jessie the United Statesâ hero!
His name would live on forever.
Jessie said cautiously, âShare your plan with me.â
