King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 I am not a mercenary

Is an annual salary of over one hundred thousand US dollars a lot?

Very much so!

Even two years ago, Joe Ga would not have dared to dream of it; he worked under the scorching sun for SD, and after converting his monthly pay into US dollars, it barely reached three thousand.

But for a professional talent like Antar, is over one hundred thousand a lot?

Not at all, not one bit!

Putting aside the skills of an observer, just her claim of being proficient with drones alone is worth one hundred thousand a year.

Drones on the battlefield aren't just for taking photos or capturing footage; when Antar is with the sniper, she represents a different form of support.

'Command Communication'!

Modern drones not only have reconnaissance capabilities but can also be fitted with thermal or night vision equipment, granting the ability to make the battlefield or the transaction scene unidirectionally transparent.

Complicated commands are something Joe Ga and his team probably won't need just yet, but having someone always up in the sky observing the surroundings and providing early warnings in case of a situation gives a particularly strong sense of security, doesn't it?

Fast identification and rapid reconnaissance are the basic qualities of a sniper observer, and Antar's ability to use drones is more practical than Karman's flying skills.

Although Joe Ga is just an arms dealer, he has consistently been building a suitable team subconsciously. Faced with a 'unique' talent like Antar, he hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "OK, then you'll stay. Your salary will be as previously agreed, one hundred dollars a day in peacetime, five hundred dollars a day in wartime.

However, we can modify the definition of 'wartime.' As long as you're on a mission with me, it counts as 'wartime'!"

With that, Joe Ga thought for a moment and continued, "What kind of drone do you use? Give me a model number, and I'll see if I can help you purchase one.

Besides, you can't be without a gun. As an observer, you need the ability to cover the sniper's back. I don't need you to be very skillful, but at the very least, you should be able to provide early warnings and basic suppression."

Having said this, Joe Ga couldn't think of anything else. He was rough around the edges by nature, and the most professional member of his team, Nis, was a tight-lipped man who never criticized Joe Ga's methods or choices, which led to Joe Ga being somewhat amateurish in certain aspects.

For example, a truly professional combat team would absolutely not take Antar, and even if they did, they would not offer her a high salary or have too much hope for her.

Seeing Joe Ga decide to keep Antar, Eric's expression became very complicated.

Although Joe Ga's displayed strength had spared him a lot of unnecessary talk, he still felt Antar deserved better.

As he saw a relaxed smile emerge on Antar's face, Eric hesitated for a long time before finally opening his arms in congratulations.

After pulling Antar's hand and giving her a few instructions, Eric glared like a qualified best friend at the 'disgusting man' Joe Ga, about to say something when he remembered he still owed Joe Ga a WA2000 rifle.

Grumbling, Eric said, "You're lucky!

Antar is the sniper with the most confirmed combat records since the establishment of the female sniper website and holds the record for the longest distance sniper shot by a woman.

Do you know how much those mercenary teams would pay her if her hand was fine?"

With that, Eric looked at the bewildered Joe Ga and said, "The famous 'Snow Fox Mercenary Corps' from the mercenary website once tried to recruit Antar, offering her an annual salary of two hundred thousand plus mission bonuses.

Buddy, you got lucky!"

Joe Ga was sick of this pansy Eric, but when he heard him mention the mercenary website, his interest was piqued.

Mercenaries, especially wealthy ones, were exactly the kind of clients he was seeking.

If this mercenary website really existed, he had to check it out.

Glancing at Antar, who looked apologetic, Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Right now, I just want to know, who exactly is Mr. Eric to you?

If he decides to stay here and keep you company for the long term, I might reconsider our collaboration."

Hearing the joking tone in Joe Ga's voice, Antar smiled and said, "Eric is a top hacker and also the administrator of the female sniper website.

He's from the Kopke family in Sweden, and he helped me a lot when I applied for political asylum.

Now I've got my Swedish green card, but I need to find a job.

Eric doesn't trust me, so he insisted on coming over to see for himself.

If he has caused you any trouble, I'm very sorry, Eric is a good person, and he definitely won't stay here for long."

As he spoke, Antar paused for a moment, glanced at Eric, and then said to Joe Ga, "My drone was modified by Eric, it's in my luggage."

Upon hearing this, Joe Ga curiously looked at Eric and said, "So you're a hacker?"

With a full beard on his face, Eric, holding his waist with his left hand and waving his right, said in a very effeminate tone, "Surprised? Making a big fuss over nothing."

If Joe Ga didn't have something he wanted to ask, he surely would have turned around and left.

That sort of thing wasn't something a normal man could tolerate, not because he was effeminate, but because he was not only effeminate but also had a sharp tongue and an attitude begging for a beating.

After struggling with the sight of the man's front teeth for a few seconds, Joe Ga squeezed out a smile and said, "Could we talk about the 'mercenary website' you mentioned earlier?"

Eric looked at Joe Ga as if he were an idiot and said, "Don't you know?"

The standard 'bitch' tone made Joe Ga very frustrated, but to get the answer he wanted, Joe Ga could only say helplessly, "Let's go back and find a place to sit down. We've come all this way, we can't just leave right away. As Antar's friend, I, as the boss, should at least treat you to a meal, no matter what."

"That's more like it~"

Joe Ga pretended not to hear Eric speaking, signaled Nis to pack up the guns, and got into the car first.

On the way, Eric tried to flirt with Joe Ga several times but got shut down. Finally, he rolled his eyes and said, "You're interested in mercenaries, but do you know about the dark web?"

Joe Ga instinctively hit the brakes, curiously saying, "The dark web?"

"You've never been on the dark web?"

"Tsk!"

"Ok, ok, don't make that face, you don't look particularly handsome when you're serious."

"Tsk!"

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you about it.

The ordinary dark web is just the kind of underground network you can enter with a few jump software pieces.

Where there's demand, there will be supply.

Assassins, prostitutes, mercenaries, drugs, contraband, you name it, the dark web has it all.

To interest you, the regular dark web is just for fooling people, while the real dark web has lots of information about various high-priced illegal tasks.

If you're interested in those high-priced tasks, I can offer you a jump software and let you take a look.

However, 80% of the information there is fake, and you need a professional intermediary to help discern and ensure you get paid, and I just happen to know a few well-known ones."

Joe Ga listened, frowning and shaking his head, "Do you have a misunderstanding about me?

I'm not a mercenary; I'm just interested in top mercenaries because they should be willing to invest money in equipment."

Upon hearing this, Eric looked at Joe Ga with a weird expression and said, "You're not a mercenary?

Then why do you want to..."
