Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

In a luxurious manor, a bloated man in a nightgown looked at the bearded man in front of him.

"Failed?" Joseph asked unexpectedly: "There is no reason. Didn't you say you are professionals? You have never failed in a commission."

Mustache Jax said calmly: "The plan originally went smoothly, but there was a very powerful person among the hostages. He single-handedly defeated the experts I hired."

"Who?" Joseph asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about who that person is, he is just someone outside the plan." Jax said calmly.

Jax knows Joseph's character, and he probably wants to get revenge on him.

Jax didn't care who Joseph wanted to get revenge on.

But the premise is that it cannot affect his plan.

And a man who can eliminate six militants.

It must have a very strong fighting capacity.

Jax didn't like having this kind of enemy involved.

"Tell me, who is blocking me." Joseph asked reluctantly.

"This was not part of my plan." Jax said coldly.

"I need information about that person."

"If you want to take revenge on that person, then you can investigate it yourself." Jax said.

"Are you trying to shirk your failure?" Joseph looked at Jax unhappily.

He was his employer, but Jax had no respect for him.

Always face him with that neither salty nor indifferent attitude.

Jax remained unmoved.

Although he was also unhappy.

But he still sticks to his principles.

Delegation always comes first.

Pull a person with strong combat power into the opposite direction.

It is likely to bring about unpredictable variables.

And Jax had investigated the other party's identity.

The other party is a rich man, a very rich man.

In this country, being rich means huge influence and power.

It would have been difficult to obtain those documents from Citibank's safe.

Adding a powerful enemy to the mix will make the problem worse.

"Then I am entrusting you now. I want you to kill the guy who caused me trouble." Joseph said.

"That person is a rich man...maybe richer than you." Jax said: "Do you know the impact of killing such a super rich man?"

"Oh? A rich man?" Joseph narrowed his eyes: "Then kidnap him or his family."

Jax didn't answer.

Because kidnapping does not require a commission.

And if you entrust this kind of thing, who should pay the ransom?

As a client?

It would be better for them to complete the kidnapping themselves.

And what if the commission given by the client is less than the ransom?

So for things like kidnapping, they either do it themselves or they don't do it.

And the impact of kidnapping a super-rich man or his family would be too bad.

This can lead to a common hatred among the entire upper class.

After all, no one wants to put themselves or their family members at risk.

And how much ransom can a super rich man extort?

Tens of millions of dollars is already over the top.

After all, most wealthy people own most of their assets in real estate, not cash.

It would be unwise to antagonize a group for tens of millions of dollars.

Not to mention the existence of Joseph, a greedy man.

The commission he gives will never be higher than the ransom.

Joseph is very well known in the industry, even if he is not an insider.

Joseph also has a nickname in the industry, Hyena.

Specially embezzling other people's assets.

He doesn't mind using any means as long as he can achieve his goal.

Jax has worked with Joseph twice.

Joseph is a bad guy in the truest sense of the word.

Every bit of his money was bloody.

After several successes, Joseph's net worth skyrocketed and his assets exceeded one billion US dollars.

It also made him feel more and more complacent.

Jax is more aware of the risks.

So his choices are very careful.

Not every target is suitable for their prey.

A man who fought back bravely in the face of six armed men, and he was also a super rich man.

Use this kind of people as prey?

I'm afraid he and Joseph will both die very ugly deaths.

That's why Jax kept saying no.

If the target is a person who wins the lottery and becomes rich overnight.

Jax is happy to prey on the other person.

Because even if the other party has money, his influence is very limited.

And enter the kind of super rich people with huge influence.

Even kidnapping his family and extorting tens of millions of dollars.

But what next? Tear down the vote? Still not voting?

No matter what the decision is, the consequences will be very serious.

Seeing that Jax was not happy, Joseph's face became more and more gloomy.

He doesn't like others disobeying his orders.

"Jax, are you going to refuse my commission?"

"How much commission can you pay?" Jax asked.

"Twenty million U.S. dollars. I have always been very generous to my own people. If you can get 200 million U.S. dollars from that person, I will give you another 20 million U.S. dollars." Joseph seemed to be giving generously.

"Sorry, I refuse." Jax refused without hesitation.

Only a sick person would accept such a thankless commission.

"Jax, are you really going to refuse my offer? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

"Joseph, I know you better than anyone else." Jax said calmly: "I know your background, your character, and everything about you, so please don't threaten me, it won't do you any good."

Joseph's face was stiff and his cheeks twitched.

Indeed, their many cooperations gave him too much leverage in Jax's hands.

Joseph's eyes looked at Jax with a hint of darkness.

He doesn't like such uncontrolled people.

It seems that after this time, their cooperation will be terminated.

He must deal with Jax and his team.

"Haha... Jax, I'm joking with you. Well, just like you said, don't get into trouble until you get those documents." Joseph changed his face again and had a broad-minded attitude.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Jax turned around and left, not wanting to make excuses with Joseph at all.

After leaving Joseph's manor, several men immediately gathered around him.

"Boss."

Jax nodded and said, "Be prepared. Don't have any contact with this mad dog after this mission. There has been a rift between him and us."

"Boss, I got some news."

"what news?"

"Friends on the road say that Los Angeles is very dangerous. It is said that in the past two years, more than five top mercenary teams have disappeared here, and at least twenty killers have disappeared."
