Sunrise Central Bank seemed to have completely abandoned its plan to obstruct Jasper.
The following procedures went well.
After the repayment was completed, the mortgage was released immediately. Within half an hour, Jasper saw 200 tons of gold withdrawn from the Sunrise Central Bank vault.
At this moment, Henry had also contacted Zachary.
The Laws’ power should not be underestimated. As Jasper and Henry and his team escorted several trucks of gold to the port, a commercial freighter arrived at the port.
Freighters were no taxis, so one could not get them by waving hands.
The sailing cost of any freighter was hundreds of thousands of dollars per day for small ones and millions per day for large ones. The route had to be pre-booked a few weeks before the departure of the freighter and it could not be changed easily.
However, Zachary used his connections and power to mobilize the freighter that Jasper wanted to get it to the port immediately.
Watching the truck enter the warehouse of the freighter, Jasper once again told Henry and Julian, “Don’t worry about anything after boarding the ship. Tell the captain to constantly keep in touch with the domestic side and immediately ask for help from the government official in the event of an accident.”
“Especially you, Henry. Now is not the time to try to be brave, so you have to keep a low profile this whole journey.”
Henry frowned upon hearing the words and asked, “Are you really not going with us? Why don’t you just come with us? We will be back in the country in two or three days.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “If their goal is me, then I will greatly increase your risk if I go with you. The most sensible thing to do now is to leave separately.”
Henry gritted his teeth. “Okay, then I will listen to you, but if there are any troubles, you must contact me.”
Jasper patted Henry on the shoulder as an agreement.
Then, Jasper took Gary and Seamus before turning around and leaving.
“Mr. Laine, where are we going now?” Gary asked.
Jasper thought for a moment and said, “The embassy.”
Gary nodded and immediately turned toward the embassy.
Since it was a temporarily rented car from a car rental agency, Gary was driving and Seamus was sitting beside Jasper instead of in the passenger seat.
The car left the port. When the car entered the main road, there was a lot of traffic and the road was busy. Everything seemed normal.
At this moment, in the office of the president of the central bank. Vernon was answering the phone.
“We’re fighting for national honor in this matter. It can only be entrusted to you. Regardless of the success or failure of the mission, the benefits promised to you will not change.”
“If you die in battle, your family will be supported by a pension fund. You already know the rules. If you perform the task, you will never be allowed to show up in the country, you can only go to other places abroad.”
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, only one word was heard, “Understood.”
After hanging up, Vernon stood on the glass deck in his office and looked down on the ground. He said slowly, “Jasper, I told you that you’ve made the wrong choice.”
***
The port and the embassy were not close. If there was no traffic jam, it would take about 40 minutes. However, as Eastern Capital was one of the most prosperous and busiest mega cities in the world, it was impossible to avoid traffic jams.
Seeing that the traffic ahead was getting increasingly crowded, Gary intended to make a detour.
However, just as he drove the car onto the frontage road and was about to merge and cut into the main road in the other direction, he suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror.
At the same time, Seamus’s voice came from behind.
