Before the man in the black vest could react, he felt a searing pain on his wrist. The pain was so excruciating that he dropped his pistol.
James rolled underneath the table and instantly appeared before the man in the black vest. He kicked the man and sent him flying. Then, he picked up the pistol on the ground.
All this happened in a split second.
Before Jake could even react, his man was sent flying, and a pistol was pressed against his head.
Upon hearing the commotion, the mercenaries returned and pointed their firearms at James.
Even with a firearm pressed against his head, Jake did not panic in the slightest. Composed, he calmly asked, “Do you know where you currently are? Do you seriously think you can get out of here alive after killing me?”
“Ten dollars. Deal?”
James pressed the pistol against Jake’s head with a mischievous grin on his face. “It’s better for you to make your men leave. Otherwise, a single movement of my finger and your brains will be blown out.”
At that moment, the man in the black vest who was sent flying earlier got up. “B*stard! How dare you?!” He sputtered.
Jake lightly waved. Upon seeing this, the man in the black vest quieted down.
Unfazed, Jake sat on the sofa, looking composed. He asked, “Who are you exactly?”
“Henry, tell him who I am.”
Henry seated himself.
Scarlett was scared out of her wits. However, upon seeing Henry sit, she followed suit.
Henry laughed. “Jake, I’d advise against that. You might be scared sh*tless once you find out who he is.”
“Is that so?” Jake smiled dismissively. “Tell me about it. I’ve been meeting some powerful people. I’m curious to know how powerful a man needs to be for me to be scared sh*tless.”
Henry uttered word by word, “The man before you is the Black Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the million-strong Black Dragon army of the Southern Plains and one of the Five Commanders of Sol.”
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so fully-armed mercenaries shivered.
They swiftly retreated backward and dropped their firearms. They collapsed to the ground, trembling.
How could they not have heard of the Black Dragon?
He was the world-renowned Ares.
Jake was shivering too. His composed face was now beaded with sweat.
James tossed the weapon in his hand to the man in the black vest and seated himself beside Henry. He lit another cigarette.
