My Perfect Female CEO

Chapter 1330: Timid Peng Bird

General Hawan was naturally overjoyed, secretly delighted, and had Black Shark’s previously promised reward increased to five times what it was before. This was indeed an immense squeeze, and Black Shark, under the pressure of the situation, had no choice but to agree.This action was indeed unethical, with no sense of trustworthiness.

However, General Hawan was never one to keep promises. He had agreed with the head of the Poisonous Dragon Mercenary Corps to rescue Black Shark, motivated by money, naturally not someone to keep promises, treating the rescue merely as a business transaction.

What Hawan wanted to do was to use the deaths of his subordinates to exchange for more capital for himself.

This was a highly profitable business, and Hawan naturally wanted to seize such an opportunity.

As for the lives of his subordinates, they were mere worthless lives, he wouldn’t care.

In fact, he hoped the more his men died, the better, so he could ask for even more capital.

As a businessman who had negotiated terms with Hawk, exerting pressure on Black Shark to pay more was a minor issue; General Hawan had his boundaries, which was not to completely provoke the other side, and certainly not to mess with the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps.

With Black Shark paying more, he and Hawan established thicker relations.

This was beneficial for both parties.

General Hawan was very clear on one point: Black Shark’s life must be safeguarded with full effort and responsibility; no incident could occur. If something happened, the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps’ accountability was not something he could bear.

He was aware of the power of the Poison Dragon Mercenary Corps, enough to make him not dare to underestimate or act recklessly.

Hawan only sought money, and Black Shark simply agreed, also giving Hawan some face, Black Shark didn’t mind.

If money could resolve problems, then naturally it was no problem at all.

Black Shark was also generous, seeing it as a small charity to make friends with Hawan.

In their talks, Hawan and Black Shark often mentioned friendship, which naturally made sense. Besides their respective thoughts, there were further reasons for in-depth exchange involved.

"Corporal Black Shark paid me fifty million in fees, I can’t refuse his kindness." General Hawan beamed with a radiant smile and said: "It’s not that I’m greedy, but the enemy is too strong. After Hawk told me about Black Shark’s peril, I came without a word, tirelessly, and not to destroy the business agreed with Hawk. I wanted adequate reward; this money might not mean much to Black Shark, but for me, it’s exceptionally significant."

Pleasantries had to be said; portraying his price increase as generosity from the other party showed how nimble Hawan’s mind was.

Hawan’s words had much to ponder; he already knew who they were rescuing, the enemy they were facing, but merely pretended not to know, giving Black Shark full respect.

"General Hawan personally coming to meet me, I feel really uneasy," Black Shark said sincerely: "Not to mention the fifty million, even more wouldn’t suffice to repay your kindness, General Hawan."

When Black Shark spoke, even if they were untrue, they were spoken with fervor and deep emotion, exuding sincerity inside and out. Even if it sounded false, the earnestness of the speaker commanded respect.

General Hawan could naturally understand Black Shark’s courteous words. He sensibly wouldn’t talk about wanting more money, feeling content with the deserved gains, understanding the principle of not being too greedy.

"Corporal Black Shark, really giving me face, this friendship is set. From now on, when encountering any trouble, we face it together," General Hawan said heartily.

Black Shark paused, then asked solemnly, "General Hawan, shouldn’t we retreat now?"

This was the major concern he pondered before adding, "Three enemies have been repelled by your forces. I believe they won’t attack again shortly. There’s seven enemies, and if we wait for them to prepare an attack again, it would be dangerous for us. Though there’s only seven, you shouldn’t underestimate them with your troops. Being cautious is sound, necessary precautions should be taken."

Black Shark didn’t want to engage in pointless talks with Hawan, the precarious situation at the moment was his primary concern.

"Our force is great, enemies are only seven. I believe they don’t dare face us head-on, only hiding in the shadows or trying to ambush us on the way back. That would be the enemy’s only choice." Hawan spoke confidently, "The enemy is skilled at ambushing, dealing with us sneakily is their forte, so we don’t need to worry. Just be cautious to avoid the enemy. If they dare attack head-on, my men will rush forward to eliminate them."

He had his arrangements, not in a hurry to leave, acting like he had everything under control.

"General Hawan, I must remind you, the seven of Peng Bird really might launch a frontal attack," Black Shark said.

"Impossible, definitely impossible," General Hawan replied indifferently, "You’re overthinking it. Seven snipers dealing with us sneakily, I believe; if they dared provoke me directly, they’d be putting their weaknesses against my strengths. No one is foolish like that. If I’m right, Peng Bird’s seven are probably ambushed along our possible retreat paths, waiting to attack, especially targeting you, that’s their real chance, not charging my main force idiocally."

"My men were defeated by the seven of Peng Bird, forcing us to retreat, and they chased us relentlessly, leading to our dire situation." Black Shark said earnestly, "General Hawan, you must understand, I fell against Peng Bird’s seven overwhelming our numbers, don’t follow my old path."

Black Shark wanted Hawan to realize the enemy’s significance, at least not to be as arrogant as currently.

He couldn’t straightforwardly chide Hawan’s wrong steps, only providing reminders subtly.

"How many men did you have? I have five to six hundred beside me; even if Peng Bird’s seven had the audacity, they wouldn’t provoke me directly. If they dared attack, my men’s bullets would terrify Peng Bird to death. Moreover, with weakling Peng Bird, how dare they provoke me," General Hawan said smugly.

"Weakling Peng Bird?"

"Terrify Peng Bird to death?"

Black Shark looked at General Hawan, his eyes a bit stunned. He, too, had underestimated Peng Bird in the past, knowing only himself how it turned out.
