[Chapter 251]
Zachary started becoming impatient after waiting for a long time.
He directly contacted the staff of the dark web and asked what was going on.
He did not want to let the opportunity to watch David slip away escape from right under his nose.
As for why he had to do it in Capital City and not when David was in River City, he wanted to let others know that it was him who did it while being unable to prove it.
As long as there was no evidence, no one could do anything to him.
If it was done in River City, not everyone would necessarily suspect him, so wouldn't what he did have been done in vain?
What he wanted was not just to vent, but more importantly, it was to tell others that he should not be messed with, and if anyone went against him, they had to be prepared to pay the price.
This was the confidence he should have as the heir to the Quinns in Capital City and also one o f the eight great fighters of T Faction.
Because of David, he had become the laughing stock in the Capital City circles during this time.
How would he continue to show his face in Capital City if he did not regain some of his prestige?
If something bad happened to David in Capital City this time, everyone would think that he was the one who did it, but there would be no evidence. Not only would he regain his reputation, no one could do anything to him either.
He would just need to spend some money.
To him, the heir of the Quinns, a few hundred million was a small amount of money.
For a person of his status, money was a small matter, but his prestige was a big deal. As long a s he could get his prestige back, it will be worth spending more money.
"How can I help you?"
The staff of the dark web sent Zachary a message.
"I want to ask why no one is accepting the mission I just posted," Zachary asked.
"There could be all sorts of reasons why no one is accepting it. I can't tell you specifically what's wrong with it."
"Help me look at it then. What's wrong with the mission I posted? It's my first time postings o I might not understand it too well. If there's any problem, I can fix it right away," Zachary
answered.
"Alright, please send me your mission code."
Zachary looked at his code and sent it to the other party.
"4398."
After some time, the other party replied.
"Hello, according to the mission you posted, there are two problems. One, the information is not complete. Second, the target location is Capital City in Somerland and it's a place most people won't want to go. 500 million to kill a peak Tiger Ranker is a very high but if the location is Capital City in Somerland, then it's another story."
"Then what should I do to make people accept this mission? I can't change the location."
"I suggest you increase the bounty. That way maybe there will be people willing to take the risk."
"Alright, thanks!"
After talking to the staff of the dark web, Zachary understood that it was not so easy to post a mission.
After he thought about it, he figured that it made sense because someone else would be risking their life to complete a mission that he posted randomly. So of course, they would need to understand the nature of the mission.
Then, Zachary amended the mission. He did not change anything else but directly increased the bounty to 1 billion.
He believed that there would be people willing to take the risk with the temptation of money.
A forbidden land for mercenaries? It was just an excuse to increase the price. Though, truth be told, this place was surely more dangerous than the rest.
Indeed, after Zachary increased the price, people started noticing his mission.
1 billion was an amount that some people had never seen in their lives.
Plus, the missions on the dark web were ranked from the highest bounty to the lowest.
The higher the bounty, the higher up the list the mission would go.
Thus, Zachary's 1 billion bounty was now on the first page and ranked number seven.
A lot of people noticed this new mission but when they saw that the location was in Capital City in Somerland, most people decided to ignore it.
It was a place where a lot of mercenaries and assassins refused to go. There was a reason why Capital city in Somerland was called a forbidden land by the mercenaries.
This was experience they had gained with their blood.
Of course, there were some courageous newbies and crazy people who were disdainful about this. What forbidden land? They did not believe it.
These people wanted desperately to make a name for themselves in the international underground world. Plus, the 1 billion bounty was worth the risk.
As long as they completed this, they would be able to live freely and happily anywhere on this earth even if they stopped working altogether.
Therefore, a lot of people inquired about this mission but most of them were inexperienced newbies.
At this time, the staff from the dark web will choose the most suitable person to go on this mission based on their previous result and ability.
There would not be a case where there would be multiple people carrying out the same mission.
If that were to happen, it would be hard to confirm who completed the mission once it was
over.
The others could only accept this mission once the precious person failed to carry it out.
After confirming the person who was going to carry out this mission, the staff contacted Zachary. He needed to provide some basic information of the target like sex, height, age, photo, and places where the target would frequent.
These were all provided by Howard. After everything was done, Zachary still needed to transfer 1 billion to the designated account on the dark web.
This was to prevent the employer from fleeing after the mission was done and refusing to pay.
After the bounty was received, the staff said that the person carrying out this task would arrive in Capital City three days later. He would then update Zachary one week later regardless of the outcome of the mission.
Zacahry thought everything was ready and he only needed to wait until David was in Capital City so that he could give him a fatal shot.
The dark web was very popular in the international underground world. As long as there was enough money, there would be no one that they would not dare to kill.
However, they did not know that David was not a peak Tiger Ranker anymore. Plus, with David's identity, once something happened to him in Capital City, the entire Capital City might be turned upside down to find who did it.
The identities of an official member of the Special Task Force Team A and Falcon Team Vulture were not jokes. In short, there were only 20 plus of them in the country.
They were the elites of the country, so if they were assassinated, the dark web would be implicated.
If the Somerlnd empire flew into a rage, it would be very serious. Even the world would tremble at their feet.
At this moment, David had no idea that someone had their eyes on him, and were here to take his life.
He was still thinking about where to spend money tomorrow.
