Kingsley feigned ignorance of the espionage identities of Cedric and Emmett, treating them as ordinary arms dealers.
However, Cedric's words made him understand the reason for their return.
It turned out that they were afraid of being suspected of disloyalty when they went back!
He had a silent thought. If the intelligence personnel from Coliree Island suddenly disappeared into enemy territory for several months and then reappeared, they would undoubtedly be questioned on their loyalty as well. Plus, the evaluation methods of the Empire of the Setting Sun would be even more ruthless than those of Coliree Island. If they couldn't provide a clear explanation, they might even lose their lives! No wonder the two of them came to me for help in a rush!
"It's our last resort." Cedric chuckled. "Mr. Nicholson, if you can assist us with this favor, I am willing to pay you a substantial sum of money!"
Kingsley tapped his finger lightly. "Money and such are secondary; don't forget, we are friends."
"Hahaha! Indeed, we are the best of friends!" Cedric laughed heartily. "Well, Mr. Nicholson, I'll be frank. I hope that after hearing my request, you won't go back on your word."
Kingsley replied calmly, "Just straight away tell me. I won't go back on my word."
Cedric exchanged a glance with Emmett, then lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Nicholson, I hope that you can provide us with two heads to present to our superior as proof."
Upon hearing this, Kingsley's expression turned cold. These individuals from the Empire of the Setting Sun are truly desperate! They are willing to take lives just to prove their innocence!
Seeing Kingsley's darkened face, Cedric quickly said, "Mr. Nicholson, you're an underworld boss. Killing two people would be a piece of cake for you! If you don't help us, we'll have to take the risk ourselves. However, it's clear that we are foreigners involved in some shady business. So, your involvement carries much less risk than us taking matters into our own hands."
There was a silence for two minutes before Kingsley took a deep breath and smiled. "No problem; it's a small matter. I can do this favor for you."
He couldn't allow these two spies to kill innocent people, nor could he let them be suspected upon their return.
