Chapter 845: Untitled

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The kidnapping saga came to an end gradually after Xu Xing came back. Silver Cloud had reminded her not to mention Paradise Island, and she told everyone that she only knew that Xunuo had kidnapped her and let her go, like how she was taught.

Because of Xu Xing’s status, nobody dared to question her.

But Xu Xing’s family noticed that Xu Xing had become more cheerful after the ‘kidnapping’.

Silver Cloud and An Xunuo left the organization.

Ye Ningyuan only heard about it a week later. He didn’t know where they went or what they did. He didn’t send anyone to check on them either. It was unnecessary.

He had decided to alienate himself from An Xunuo.

It was the best for him and her.

He had thought of it clearly that night on the island, and he might regret it if he continued.

Once he had decided on something, it was usually hard for him to change his mind.

In a flash, a month had passed.

Ye Ningyuan didn’t expect that he would meet An Xunuo in Mexico. Although she was wearing a mask, he could easily recognize her in her iconic red dress, silver whip, and poker face.

“What is she doing here?”

He had gone to Mexico for a business talk. It was the biggest arms deal he had encountered in three years, and it was also the biggest arms deal after he took office. He had to negotiate it in person.

The representative of the buyers was Sophie Vasi International Mafia, the largest Mafia gang in the world. Although Sophie Vasi International Mafia was the one buying the arms, the arms would be distributed among the Mexican authorities and some countries and arms dealers in North America. Because it involved the problem of profit distribution, Sophie Vasi International Mafia had to buy them first before distributing.

For the Top Terrorist Organization, making an arms deal in Mexico was very convenient, especially for large deals like that.

In order to reduce the risk, the components of the arms and the finished products were made and assembled by different military factories before they were transported. Although it would need more time and expenses, the risk would be reduced. The components of the arms were processed in Europe, while the finished products were made in North America or the Middle East.

However, this time, there were some small disputes.

The cause of it was the problem with transportation. The finished products would be sent to six countries, including Oman, the United States, Colombia, and Venezuela, among which four sea routes would be used.

There were two routes for arms transportation, one by air and the other by sea. Transporting by air had low risk, but the expenses were high. Mexico had always been the biggest market for arms trade, and the arms market had become more prosperous in recent years under the leadership of the Top Terrorist Organization. However, because the iron fist policy of Ye Ningyuan had threatened the interests of Europe and several major countries in North America, the Security Council proposed a decision to strengthen arms control in Mexico. Several countries in Europe and North America voted for it, and the Mexican government was forced to strengthen its arms control. The first thing that was affected was air transport.

Air transport had accounted for more than fifty percent of the transport routes of the Top Terrorist Organization.

Mexico had to strengthen the control of aircraft registration, and unregistered aircraft were not allowed to fly in their navigating zone. If they did not have approval from the government, the aircraft could be shot down arbitrarily. This affected air transport greatly and the Top Terrorist Organization could only opt for sea transport.

Such a large-scale transaction needed the two largest processing factories in North America and the Middle East to work at the same time, which would incur a huge expense. The costs for transportation were extremely high as well. However, if the transaction was in Mexico, Ye Ningyuan could adjust the route and distribute the arms separately in the four wharves of Mexico. Generally speaking, the responsibility of the transportation had to be split among the two parties. The routes in Mexico, North America, and the Middle East had always been controlled by the Top Terrorist Organization, and they were supposed to take this safe route. However, this time, they had to pass by the Persian Gulf. Although it was in the Middle East, it was a dangerous route as it was not the main route for the arms trade. Ye Ningyuan put forward the request of port trade in Mexico to reduce the risk for the Top Terrorist Organization, and they would not be responsible for anything if something went wrong. He had trust in Sophie Vasi as there had already been three successful large-scale transactions between them. But trust was one thing. Taking the Persian Gulf route was Ye Ningyuan’s taboo because the Top Terrorist Organization’s control over this route was the weakest. He couldn’t risk taking this route for this kind of large-scale arms trade.

However, Sophie Vasi hoped that the Top Terrorist Organization would be responsible for the transportation. Ye Ningyuan didn’t even consider it and rejected him. He could only afford to take responsibility for one-third of the transportation. Although it was not fair, he was the boss of the Top Terrorist Organization. They had to listen to him.

At last, Ye Ningyuan decided to negotiate in person as both sides still could not reach a consensus after two weeks.

So he showed up at Sophie Vasi’s headquarters.

But he didn’t expect to see An Xunuo there. ‘What is she doing here?’ He was puzzled. He hadn’t heard of her for a month. He didn’t send anyone to check on her either, so he didn’t know how she was doing. However, he didn’t expect that she would have something to do with Sophie Vasi.

An Xunuo looked at him indifferently as if he was a stranger. Ye Ningyuan didn’t mind. It was what he had wished for.

He had brought White Tiger and Vermilion Bird along to Mexico.

At the negotiation table, Ye Ningyuan focused on negotiating with Morales and did not look at An Xunuo at all. The deal was very important. If he could seal the deal successfully, the profits earned would be sixty percent of the Top Terrorist Organization’s profits in the whole year. Hence, he would never give it up easily. He just had to settle the problem of transportation.

The most important part of an arms trade.

Sophie Vasi didn’t want to take responsibility for the transportation in the Persian Gulf either. After all, the government had been controlling the shipping route in the Persian Gulf, and both sides couldn’t take any risks. In the end, they compromised and halved the responsibility. That was the first time that the Top Terrorist Organization actually gave in. Considering the actual situation, Morales also nodded and agreed. The two sides then signed an agreement. Except for the Persian Gulf route, all the transactions would be conducted at the Mexican wharf. The Top Terrorist Organization would take thirty percent of the risk, while Sophie Vasi would take seventy. Morales tried to bargain with him again, but Ye Ningyuan pretended to leave. He had no choice but to agree.

Everyone knew the rules of Black J, the arms tycoon. He was a take-it-or-leave-it kind of guy who didn’t like to bargain.

After securing the deal, he let White Tiger settle the details. Morales smiled and stood up to shake hands with Ye Ningyuan. He was a sharp, gentle man in his early thirties, but he had a friendly smile.

“How about we go somewhere else?” he asked with a smile. People who had been in the underworld for long would understand what he meant. Ye Ningyuan had never agreed to participate in that kind of thing, but he had unexpectedly nodded this time.

“Sure. That was what I was thinking as well.”

Morales laughed, but An Xunuo’s gaze remained cold.
