Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 66 Behind the Scenes
"Who are you?"

Sang Kun suppressed his inner anger, looked at Shanying, who was full of aggression due to a series of fierce battles recently, and said in a deep voice: "You want to ask me for money, I at least need to know who you are?

I am a very good friend of the Deputy Prime Minister. I don’t know what you mean by more than 200 subordinates. I am doing a legal business. I don’t know what you are talking about at all.”

Sang Kun moved the photos on the table with his hand and said in a deep voice: "Just based on a few photos, why should I believe that it was you who killed Basong?

If anyone can come to me with a few photos and ask for money, what is the use of the police?"

Shanying smiled when he heard this, and casually extended his hand to Sangkun, saying, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Yueshan, a volunteer tourist policeman from Krabi...

I happened to be involved in the highway shootout a few days ago, and also participated in the rescue of Councillor Adaquan's estate and the anti-terrorism battle in Kongti District.

Then I met Bassong on the way back to the hospital and I shot him…”

Shanying looked at Sangkun who was not interested in shaking hands with him and said, “I don’t know much about the rules of the underworld, but if you want relevant evidence, I can provide it to you.

Mr. Sangkun, I am a volunteer policeman from a small place. It is risky for me to do this, so I need you to pay me half of the bounty first to prove your ability to pay.

Believe me, the consequences of rejecting me will be very bad!

You are friends with the Deputy Prime Minister, so you should know how much unrest your bounty has caused in Thailand...

Even if it is just to maintain your own reputation, you should not put obstacles in my way."

Shanying's words made Sangkun very helpless...

The procedure for claiming a bounty is sometimes simple, and sometimes complicated...

The bounty offered by the boss of the underground bank is a 'very complicated' one!
Because there is no clear identity, there is only a blurry photo, the approximate time when the Burmese store came to Thailand, and information about an injury on the right leg...

Originally, if you want to claim this bounty, you need to provide a complete chain of evidence for Party A to confirm, but Basong's self-exposure and the exposure of the Bangkok gang are equivalent to making the matter factual in disguise...

When the Bangkok mafia invested huge costs and sacrificed many people, you, Sangkun, and Party A did not stand up and point out the problem at the first time, which means that you acquiesced.

Of course, this is just an unspoken rule, the content of the contract is not like this...

But just as people who hold themselves to moral standards are generally better people in character than those who hold themselves to legal standards.

If the middleman cannot respect the unspoken rules, his credibility will be greatly reduced, and people like Sang Kun may even face being besieged by gangsters.

For him, if he had informed all the gangs at that time that Basson was not the target, there would have been no trouble later.

Unfortunately, he chose to believe Martin, thinking that they could solve the problem in another way...

Little did he know that Martin's boss didn't want to give the bounty from the beginning to the end, but wanted to use the bounty to stir up trouble. The bigger the trouble, the more advantageous it would be for his negotiations with the Malaysians!
Sang Kun made the wrong choice and put himself in a dilemma.

But the old man was a veteran who had experienced many ups and downs. He struggled for a while between his own future and protecting Party A's father. He decisively picked up the photos and walked to Martin, who had been sitting on the sofa, and said, "Sir, take a look at these photos. Are the people in these photos the targets you want to offer a reward for?

You didn’t explicitly ask me to hide your identity in the contract, so I think you shouldn’t mind meeting the person who comes to collect the reward…”

Sang Kun sold Martin out completely...

You talk to me about a contract and I talk to you about a contract, it's that simple!
If Shanying was an unknown person, Sangkun would definitely not mind cooperating with Martin to send him away. After all, Danette is still very intimidating.

But now Shanying obviously has a police background...

Sangkun didn’t believe that a volunteer policeman from Krabi dared to talk to him like that!
Moreover, he was arrested for more than 200 currency exchange mules, which means that the police have clamped down on his money laundering channel...

This is the key to him becoming the biggest middleman in Thailand!
Most importantly, he didn't know whether the police had more information about his money laundering channels. An old gun like Sangkun certainly has a way to clear himself of everything, but the Thai police are very flexible. The police can't catch him as the leader, but they can make his money laundering business restless.

After weighing the two evils, it is definitely more cost-effective to discuss the contract with Martin.

You are Party A. If you say you will pay, I will pay. If you say you don’t want to pay, then I can’t do anything about it.

This situation is relatively advantageous for him because he has a background and can negotiate the rules with the police force, which is easier to resolve than if some gangster boss comes to him to redeem the bounty.

This reward is essentially a scam, but it cannot be a scam led by Sang Kun, otherwise he will definitely be finished because the gang will not let him go.

Martin adjusted his glasses and took a look at the body of Basson in the photo. He shook his head and said, "NO, this is not the person we are looking for!

We clearly wrote in the bounty contract that we will only pay if there is clear evidence that he is the person we are looking for. "

Shanying didn't expect that he had been thinking about how to force Sangkun to tell him who the person who offered the bounty was, but in the end he just sat here...

Shanying did not get angry directly. He spread his hands to Sangkun and said, "Mr. Sangkun, Basong himself has admitted it, do we still need to look for evidence?

What is evidence? Do we need a DNA test?

If everything requires clear evidence, then why offer a reward? It's much easier to call the police, who don't take money! "

When Sang Kun saw that Shanying did not fall for it and shifted his focus to Martin, but instead stared at him intently, he swallowed his saliva, spread his hands and said, "This is the request of the person who offered the reward. I can't do anything about it."

Shanying heard this and shook his head and said, "That means you don't want to pay..."

Upon hearing this, Sang Kun said in a deep voice: "It's not that I don't want to pay..."

Shanying stood up and waved his hand, saying: "There is no difference, you are the middleman, so you are the guarantor!

The fact is that you knew there was a problem, but you didn't give anyone any warning.

You may not have breached the contract, but you broke the rules...

Of course, we can’t sue you…”

The threat from Shanying was full of meaning, which made Sangkun feel cold on his back...

The young man in front of him had an extremely clear mind. He sorted out the causes, consequences, contracts, and rules clearly, leaving him no room for maneuver.

Shanying was right. If he took the money and left, the whole thing would be over. The gangsters can't blame others for their own incompetence.

But if Sangkun refused to pay, the gangsters, who had suffered huge losses, would have a reason to retaliate against him.

He is the middleman, he can't bear it!
In the end, you will either be eliminated or lose a lot of money to avoid disaster, and it will be difficult to do business again in the future.

Sang Kun glanced at Martin who was indifferent. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I'll pay...

But as you heard, Mr. Martin was not satisfied with the result, so it was impossible for me to pay the full amount.

As a middleman, I took out the 30% that I was supposed to get, which was $150 million.

But I can't give you the money directly. I need to talk to your boss...

I need some reassurance!"
