Chapter 646: Holding Back A Curse

"Minister Naka, we can skip the small talk. My wife's survival is uncertain right now. I urgently need to borrow a unit from your army troop." Jungkook looked stony as always, but upon closer inspection, you would notice a terrifying undercurrent in his eyes.

"Well...Mr.Jeon, I think you are all well too aware that the current war situation in America is tense. If you want a troop..." Minister Naka looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What do you mean, Minister Naka?" Jungkook looked meaningfully towards the elder.

"Mr.Jeon, America currently has a few more important investments at hand and these investments are related to the military. So, Mr. Jeon, if...you are willing to invest, I think it won't be too much of a problem to immediately organize a troop for you. I'm just wondering what you think about it?" Minister Naka said this as he evaluated Jungkook's attitude evenly.

Cheng Feng's eyebrows flew up. Minister Naka was obviously taking advantage of the situation!

Jungkook looked at Minister Naka and said sharply, "Minister Naka, I don't have the mood to discuss business with you right now."

"Well...then it won't be easy to settle this. It might take some time to mobilize a troop..." Minister Naka said, intentionally looking troubled.

"Okay." Jungkook nodded.

When he heard this, Minister Naka was instantly overjoyed, immediately concluding that he would get a fresh flow of funds. However, what Jungkook said next changed Minister Naka's entire expression.

"If that's the case, then we'll remove all investments of Jeon Corporation in America, then perhaps we'll look for other investments in Country M," Jungkook finished without giving Minister Naka another look. He nodded at Cheng Feng and walked towards the helicopter.

"My Lord, please hold on!" Minister Naka immediately ran to chase after him and stopped Jungkook.

He thought that because Jungkook was in such a desperate situation, he would agree to further investments but the man did not take the bait.

If  Jungkook really removed all his investments, the authorities would blame him and whatever benefits he had dreamt of would evaporate instantly.

"Mr. Jeon, what I said was just what we can discuss later. We have an emergency at hand and will still need to save your wife from Philadelphia first, don't we?" Minister Naka quickly said after he stopped Jungkook.

"What about the troops?" Jungkook looked at Minister Naka coldly.

"Well, then...how about we prepare a troop of three hundred people for you, Mr. Jeon?" Minister Naka seemed to be asking for Jungkook's opinion.

"Three hundred people..."Jungkook squinted.

He was not even clear about the current situation in Philadelphia. That place was chaotic. Even without the Italian gangsters, there were still strong forces there and all of these were uncertainties. Three hundred people would not be enough. If three hundred people could solve the issue, why would he go through so much work when he only needed to mobilize his people? Why would he need to look for this minister?

"How about 400 men?" Minister Naka tested again when he saw Jungkook hesitate.

Jungkook continued to stare at him without saying anything.

Naka was rather anxious by now, so he rubbed his hands together and asked, "Mr. Jeon, what do you want?"

"20 tanks, five fighter jets, and 500 men equipped with firearms,"Jungkook said plainly.
