Life at the Top

Chapter 2329

Jasmine was even happier after she heard this.

“It would be best if that stubborn old fool truly resigned!”

In the beginning, Jasmine thought it would be extremely easy to have everything go according to her plan since Nana was not present. She had never expected President Murik to almost foil her plans in the end. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Fortunately, Jasmine managed to come up with a counter and lured Murik into her trap.

“But I still don’t think Nana would run away in secret… Take some people with you to watch him, and don’t let him find out. We need time to slowly acquire all the petroleum businesses. I need you to guarantee that there is no way he can interfere… But I can’t have him just dying out of the blue. You should understand what I‘m trying to say.”

Jasmine looked at Abraham teasingly while the other nodded obediently. “I-I’II make sure it’s done!”

“Good. I’ll leave it to you, then.”

Abraham pretty much fled from Jasmine’s office and took a deep breath. He almost could not hold himself back.

Abraham rubbed his face and decided to complete his mission first.

Soon, Abraham arrived at a local bar. More accurately, it was the gathering grounds for a gang. He knew he would be able to find competent people for the job here, like those people sitting in the corner drinking alcohol, for example.

Abraham approached them and initiated a conversation.

“I have a nice job for you guys. Would you like to take it?”

The man did not want to respond, but after realizing that Abraham was a local here, he frowned and replied. “Keep talking. I’m not deaf…”

Abraham was used to such an attitude.

He smiled and continued. “It’s a simple mission. Your target is someone of high status, but physically powerless… All I ask is that you incapacitate him for the next few days. Once you succeed, I’ll give you one million…”

One million was a huge sum in Barne.

They may be gang members, but they had only heard rumors of such a high-rewarding mission. Their interest was piqued after they heard what Abraham had to say, but remained cautious.

“How can I believe you?”

“What about now?”

Abraham pulled out a cheque for two hundred thousand.

“This two hundred thousand is my deposit. If you take the money, I’ll assume that you’ve agreed to take the mission. Once you’ve succeeded, the remaining eight hundred thousand will be yours…”

The men whispered among themselves before the leader reached out to take the cheque.

“No problem, we’ll do it!”

“I’m Abraham!” Abraham reached out as the other followed.

“Kerrick!”

After telling them what they needed to know, Abraham turned to leave the bar and reported to Jasmine once he returned.

“Are the people you hired reliable?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Jasmine. These people do this for a living. They would never dare to lie to us, or there would be no place for them left in Bashra. It’s not worth it.”

Jasmine nodded in relief and continued to instruct him. “Alright. Keep a close eye on everything that happens. I need immediate updates if anything happens.”

“Understood, Miss Jasmine!”
