543: 477 Sky-high Security Costs_3 543: 477 Sky-high Security Costs_3 Blackwater once undertook the task of protecting an overseas Meilijian military base.
At the same time, they provided training to the military, participated in foreign wars, and ensured the security of the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency—all within their scope of business.
“I don’t need it.”
Pei Yunxi remained unmoved.
Jiang Chen, feeling helpless, imploringly said, “I know they might not look as good as your previous bodyguards, but this is overseas.
Anything dangerous could happen.
Strength is what’s most important.
If they were with you, similar incidents to the one at Prince Park Stadium wouldn’t be so dangerous.”
Pei Yunxi’s security was indeed an urgent issue.
Beauty is the greatest sin.
Lustful people exist not only in our country.
Moreover, one must know that the Fujihara Family was lying in wait, eyes full of covetousness.
This time we’ve thwarted them, but who knows if they’ll hold a grudge seeking revenge?
It’s always better to be prepared.
Perhaps feeling Jiang Chen indeed made a good point, Pei Yunxi no longer adamantly objected and fell silent.
“Things come in threes, and we’ve acted the desperate couple twice already.
Although my luck has been quite good, it’s bound to run out one day.”
Pei Yunxi was startled, wanting to refute, but for some reason, did not speak.
Jiang Chen said softly, “Let them stay.”
Pei Yunxi remained silent.
So Jiang Chen had Bai Haoran bring the people back in.
“What are your names?”
“Annabelle.”
“Dwayne.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Sure enough, names do reflect their bearers.
They were quite fitting for the two.
“The reason I’ve asked you to come to Paris, I’m sure Brother Bai has already told you.”
Jiang Chen turned to Pei Yunxi and gestured, “I need you two to ensure her safety at all costs.
Remember, I mean at all costs.”
“As long as you pay enough, everything is negotiable.”
The blonde, fiery, and dangerous Annabelle spoke indifferently, showing absolutely no respect for her employer.
“How much would you like for your services?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Five million a year.”
Dwayne spoke crisply, without any nonsense.
Jiang Chen smiled, “No problem.”
The high-nosed, deep-eyed Dwayne added, “I’m talking in US Dollars.”
Five million US Dollars a year?
One must know, domestically, the going rate for an outstanding bodyguard is only in the millions.
But Jiang Chen was not at all taken aback as if being taken for a ride; he agreed readily, “I’ll give you ten million US Dollars a year.
Just as long as you can ensure her safety.”
At these words, even the cold-blooded elite mercenaries showed a touch of surprise in their eyes.
To describe them, ‘Dying for wealth, birds die for food’ couldn’t be more apt.
They, in truth, were simply trading their lives for money.
“However, let me make one thing clear.
If anything happens to her, I will hold you accountable.
If she meets with any kind of accident, you, and your company behind you—Blackwater—will no longer need to exist.”
Even as Jiang Chen spoke lightly, a heavy, oppressive atmosphere instantly filled the office.
Looking at that no longer naive silhouette, ripples of emotion stirred anew in Pei Yunxi’s heart.
Make Blackwater disappear?
What an audacious claim.
Annabelle’s thin lips curled slightly, about to scoff, but when her gray eyes met those black pupils, her words seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Was it just her imagination?
She actually felt that this man from the East wasn’t joking at all.
