Chapter 3521: Getting Involved in the Gold Mine

Drake failed to win over Xu Qiang, and now he said something that sounded more like a threat.

Xu Qiang carefully thought about what Drake said and understood the meaning, but Xu Qiang pretended not to understand and laughed.

"What do you mean by this, Boss Drake? Could it be that I did something wrong to offend you? Recently, our group has been following the rules set here and dare not cross the line."

They just came to the mercenary battlefield here and only took a few tasks. After completing these tasks, the bounty was handed over to Drake according to the prescribed share.

Even if Drake wanted to catch Xu Qiang's handle, he had to have evidence. He wanted to use this to subdue Xu Qiang, but Drake was wrong.

A young man under 30 years old was not nervous at all when talking to him. Instead, he was more calm than him. Every word was carefully considered, which made him, the newly appointed boss of the mafia, helpless.

"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. In this battlefield, I will protect anyone who abides by the rules of the game and will not threaten your interests."

"So what does this mean?"

"I know that you had some friction and misunderstandings with the Flame Mercenaries before. Freeman of the Flame Mercenaries is a petty person. He will often find ways to retaliate when he suffers a loss."

Xu Qiang understood what this guy meant. He used Freeman as an example and put Freeman in front of Xu Qiang. The existence of this Freeman did cause some trouble for Xu Qiang.

Freeman has been sending people to investigate the whereabouts of Xu Qiang and his men. Once a direct encounter occurs, it is conceivable how fierce the fight will be.

With masters like the Poison King and Duan Zhisheng, they may not lose to Freeman, but in this case, the power that has been developed with great difficulty will be completely destroyed in this battle.

Xu Qiang will not do this kind of loss-making business. Before he has absolute strength, it is best to choose to hide himself and lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

"So that's what you're talking about. It's true that I fought with the Flame Mercenaries once, but I didn't make things difficult for their members afterwards. I let them all go. Even if Freman still holds a grudge, he shouldn't attack me."

If it was an ordinary mercenary team, the captain would be either crazy or mentally ill to say such a thing.

Xu Qiang and his team were facing the Flame Mercenaries, who were ranked fifth in strength on the mercenary battlefield. In general encounters, they would have been wiped out by Freman's powerful force.

But Xu Qiang in front of him was different. Drake had already been confirmed that the Flame Mercenaries and Xu Qiang lost the last battle, and it was the deputy who led the team.

This result forced Drake to reposition Xu Qiang in his heart. Given time, such a person might appear in the top ten of the mercenary strength ranking.

"That Freeman is a man who is not easy to mess with. You saw it when we had dinner together last time. He tried to pin the crime of killing me on you. Fortunately, I didn't believe what he said at that time, otherwise I can guarantee that you would have become a corpse now."

"Thank you, Boss Drake, for your clear judgment. I was able to avoid being wronged. Since this matter has been brought up, can I ask Boss Drake to help me say a few words in front of Freeman to resolve the conflict between us?"

Xu Qiang's words touched Freeman's heart. This was exactly what Drake planned to do. He took this opportunity to negotiate with Xu Qiang.

He was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his facial expression. He remained calm, and his fingers were rhythmically tapping on the sofa.

After saying this, Xu Qiang regretted it. These people were all cannibals. It was wishful thinking to ask them to help for free. It was estimated that Drake was thinking about how to ask for compensation for himself.

"Xu Qiang, you should understand that there is nothing in this world that can be helped for free, especially at this time, there is something wrong with me trying to persuade Freeman."

Freeman's words were very clear. He could help, but this required conditions of equivalent exchange, and the conditions naturally had to be favorable to Drake.

The person sitting in front of Xu Qiang was not only the boss of the mafia, but also a greedy businessman. He always valued the word "profit". Xu Qiang cursed him in his heart.

He didn't say that he would put forward conditions, but deliberately left it to Xu Qiang to say that he had to ask for benefits and keep his reputation. To use a Chinese saying, it was like being a whore and setting up a chastity arch.

"I, Xu Qiang, am a bit slow-witted and can't think straight at the critical moment. I don't mean to ask Drake for help in vain. If you have any needs, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Hehe, I'm not forcing you to ask for benefits. I can help you suppress Freeman, but I heard that you, Xu Qiang, have a gold mine in South Africa, right?"

When the conversation got to this point, Xu Qiang's face suddenly changed. He had been thinking about what kind of conditions Drake would put forward, which should be at most a few hundred thousand US dollars.

Drake did not expect that he would talk about the gold mine directly. His ambition was obvious. Xu Qiang put down the goblet in his hand.

Xu Qiang could choose to be tolerant in some things, but it did not mean that he had no bottom line in any matter, such as this gold mine.

"Boss Drake, you mean, are you planning to let me transfer this gold mine to you?"

Drake was stunned. How could he take Xu Qiang's words seriously? He was calculating in his heart.

"Xu Qiang, please do not misunderstand me. I do not have such an idea. This gold mine belongs to you. I just asked a question."

"You are right. I do have a gold mine."

"I came to you today to ask you how about our cooperation in mining gold mines?"

Xu Qiang finally understood that this fox asked him to come alone with the intention of getting involved in the gold mine. The previous words were just a prelude.

What bullshit cooperation? To put it bluntly, Drake just wants to monopolize. He knows that Xu Qiang is Xiao Yi's man, but he still dares to say such a thing. He is really bold.

"Cooperation? We don't need cooperation at the moment."
