"Impossible!" Silver Fox let out a cold laugh.

"You!" Jackson glared at Silver Fox and said, "Don't forget, your headquarters is only two hundred kilometers away from me. My three thousand soldiers can flatten your Abbas Town at any moment."

"Then by all means, send them over." Silver Fox said with disdain.

Jackson was taken aback, he looked at Silver Fox angrily and said, "Are you determined to oppose us?"

"It's not that I want to oppose you, but that you insist on making things difficult for us." Silver Fox laughed, with a look of disdain on his face.

Jackson gritted his teeth, swallowed his anger, and then put on a forced smile, saying, "I believe that anything in the world can be traded, right? So, name your price."

"Price?" A sly smile appeared at the corner of Silver Fox's mouth.

At this moment, Lin Chuan immediately took over the conversation: "Jackson, China's leaders have already made contact with us, and they are very interested in this armed helicopter."

"You!" Jackson hopped in anger and hurriedly said, "Damn it, you absolutely cannot sell this helicopter to anyone."

"Heh, highest bidder wins." Lin Chuan said with a cunning smile on his face.

Jackson was stunned, then immediately said, "Five million US Dollars, I'll buy this aircraft."

"Sorry, the Chinese side has already offered thirty million US Dollars!" Lin Chuan said with a grin.

Hisss...

Jackson and the others all took a sharp intake of breath. Thirty million US Dollars was well beyond their budget; the price was outrageously high, and moreover, it was shockingly high. The price of this Night Hawk Armed Helicopter was only between twenty-five to thirty million. The thirty million US Dollar bid had nearly surpassed the price of a helicopter. It was clear that the Chinese were not just after the helicopter but were keen on the core technology behind it.

Jackson hurriedly said, "No, you can't sell it to China."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"You'd be violating US arms export laws." Jackson said solemnly.

"That has nothing to do with me." Lin Chuan said with disdain, "All I care about is the money, and besides, US laws do not apply to me. So, don't bring up any US laws with me. Understand?"

"Lin Chuan." Jackson said urgently, "Wait for me, I need to make a call to Commander Tony."

"Okay!" Lin Chuan nodded.

Jackson turned around and hurried out. He had to consult Commander Tony; they had to take back this armed helicopter, otherwise, he would become the disgrace of the entire US military, he would be sent to a US military court, to be publicly tried.

After seeking advice, Jackson returned, sweating profusely.

However, when he got back to the hall, Lin Chuan was no longer there.

Jackson looked puzzled and said, "Where's Lin Chuan?"

"Oh, a call just came in." Silver Fox smiled and said, "General Jackson, if you have something to say, please talk to me."

"I have already applied with my superiors; the deal can be done for thirty million US Dollars." Jackson said quickly.

Just as Silver Fox was about to speak, Lin Chuan walked in from the back hall, grinning at Jackson before saying, "Jackson, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

"What do you mean?" A surge of anxiety flashed through Jackson's heart, he felt that the other party had malign intentions. His expression turned grave, and he felt uneasy. Looking at Lin Chuan with caution, he then said, "Lin Chuan, what are you up to?"

"I just want to tell you that I've received a call from an officer with the Russian Federal Intelligence Service," Lin Chuan said, with that cunning smile on his lips.

"What did they say?!" Jackson was even more panicked on the inside, but he showed a strong sense of calmness on the outside.

"He conveyed the wishes of the President of the Russian Federation. He said that Russia is willing to pay thirty-five million US Dollars for this Night Hawk." Lin Chuan looked at Jackson with a smile.

"Damn it!" The moment Jackson heard this, he was instantly furious. This was outright thuggery, a shameless act; they had just agreed on a price and now they were demanding more. This was utterly gangster-like behavior. Jackson was enraged: "Lin Chuan, you... you're gouging the price."

"I've said it before, the highest bidder wins," Lin Chuan helplessly shrugged and said, "I have to tell you, there are already several countries that know I have a Night Hawk on hand. Maybe soon the Republic of Cuba and the Republic of Pakistan will call to inquire about the price. If they drive up the price later, then I'm going to feel embarrassed."

"Okay, thirty-five million, I'll take it," Jackson hurriedly said.

"The Russian Federation's bid is also thirty-five million; your price isn't very competitive," Lin Chuan's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke, "I might wait for the offers from countries like Cuba and Pakistan."

"You!" Jackson's face turned green upon hearing this, feeling pressed for time. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forty million US Dollars, that's the highest I can go. If you won't accept this offer, we'll have to meet on the battlefield."

"Deal!" Lin Chuan hammered down decisively, very forthrightly.

From five million US Dollars, he had ruthlessly extorted forty million US Dollars. This was absolutely a precedent-setting case of extortion. And yet, General Jackson seemed quite happy with it. Seeing Lin Chuan settling the deal, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although he paid the price of forty million US Dollars, at least the technology of the helicopter had not been leaked out, otherwise, the loss would be more than just forty million US Dollars.

One must know that the sales of America's advanced weapons in the world each year are measured in hundreds of billions of US Dollars. If the technology of the Night Hawk Armed Helicopter was stolen, then the monopolistic advantage of the armed helicopter would be gone; sooner or later, others would compete for the market of armed helicopters. Not just that, it might be even his own side that would suffer on the battlefield.

Lin Chuan had an enigmatic smile at the corner of his mouth: "Great, transfer the money to Fire Fox's account, and you can tow away the Night Hawk. However, I suggest you'd better act quickly, otherwise, someone else might re-offer a price for this Night Hawk at any time, and as you know, we all like money…"

"You!" Jackson was anxious, he immediately said, "I'll send someone to handle this right now. As for the Night Hawk, I want to take it away today."

After finishing his words, Jackson immediately called Tony. Then he ordered men to Abbas Town to transport the Night Hawk away. Only when he saw the Night Hawk being shipped off would he be at ease.

At 3:30 PM, Fire Fox's Swiss account received the forty million US Dollars transferred by the Americans.

When she saw the forty million US Dollars come into the account, Silver Fox almost jumped for joy, but she contained her intense excitement and emotion. She grasped Lin Chuan's hand, and with an eager gaze looked at Lin Chuan, saying, "Lin Chuan, thank you!"

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for?" Lin Chuan laughed and said, "It's what Fire Fox and Fire Butterfly deserve."

Silver Fox was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You don't need to remind me, I understand. I will definitely share half of this money with Fang Yuan."

"Heh heh…" Lin Chuan laughed awkwardly.

At 4 PM, the big truck transporting the Night Hawk arrived at Abbas Town, finally finishing the loading process, and around 5 PM, the transport vehicle left. Jackson didn't even say goodbye to Lin Chuan before he hurried off with his people.

Lin Chuan and the others watched the Americans leave, their faces breaking into gleeful smiles.

"Lin Chuan, you're really something!" Miss Lan said with admiration, "Being able to extort forty million US Dollars from the Americans. Tsk tsk, I guess no one else could do that but you."

"Right," Silver Fox nodded and said, "Apart from you, I'm afraid nobody else could accomplish that."

"By the way, did the Russian Federation really contact you?" Miss Lan asked curiously.

"No," Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Then why'd you act so convincingly?" Miss Lan was astonished.

"All thanks to acting," Lin Chuan chuckled and said, "If it weren't for acting, how could I have possibly deceived Jackson? I just needed to create tremendous psychological pressure on him to make him pay and tow away quickly."

"Speaking of which," Xiao Han came over with his gun slung and asked, "Lin Chuan, why don't you ship this Night Hawk back to China? This could be a significant help in improving our armed helicopter technology. Maybe the General would be thrilled."

"I've thought about it," Lin Chuan said with a cigarette in his mouth, then smiled, "But it's not feasible."

"Why?" Xiao Han asked.

"First of all, transporting the Night Hawk back from Afghanistan is a massive problem, having to cross borders, and a Night Hawk has a too significant presence," Lin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette, then continued, "Secondly, the Americans would never let us take the Night Hawk away. Lastly, if we really sent the Night Hawk back to China, it might just be more trouble than it's worth. Relations between the two countries could become strained, and our overseas operations might not get American support."

Lin Chuan's words immediately enlightened everyone.

The Dark Soldier's operations might be independent, but regarding global anti-terrorism, the Americans are highly supportive. As long as Dark Soldier's operations are based on an anti-terrorist stance, the Americans will always find ways to assist, even providing various kinds of help. Thus, the Dark Soldier's operations overseas have benefited from American assistance to some extent.

"Hmm, you're right," said Xiao Han, nodding.

"Indeed, we have to consider it from multiple perspectives," Silver Fox nodded.

"That's why a single Night Hawk isn't worth breaking bad with the Americans over," Lin Chuan said with a smile, "So extorting forty million US Dollars from them is already good enough."
