Chapter 179 The Hidden Man

"We won! We won!"

There was a loud cheer in the field. Martin James's people cheered excitedly and proudly.

Martin James breathed a long sigh of relief, and the battle was finally over.

Before Martin James came, he never expected that he would play so fiercely. They were already outnumbered but still they were able to come out alive and as winners.

Three hours later at Grover Jordan's villa, Noah Croft and Steven walked in side by side.

"Martin's injured brothers have been arranged for treatment." Noah Croft said.

"How about the death or injury of our brothers this time?" Martin James asked.

Martin James knew that today's battle was very difficult, and the casualties were bound to exceed Martin James's initial forecast.

"Fortunately, Martin was protected by riot clothing, which greatly reduces casualties. But still more than 30 brothers have lost their lives, more than 60 brothers have been seriously injured and more than 200 have been slightly injured." Noah Croft reported.

Martin James sighed that it was already very serious to be able to reduce the casualties to that level in such a terrible battle that day.

But the thought of so many dead brothers, it was still difficult for Martin James to swallow.

According to Martin James's initial vision, casualties could be greatly avoided, but it was a pity that there was often a difference between imagination and reality.

Of course, if Lone Wolf hadn't caught Grover Jordan, if he had continued to fight at that time under the crucial circumstance, he was afraid that the death and injury situation of their own side would be much higher.

Noah Croft continued, "Martin, the enemies lost more people because there was no protective equipment for them. So the number of casualties on their side was much higher than us. The other side's light death of more than a hundred."

Martin James nodded. What Noah Croft told him was what he expected it to be.

"It's up to you to take care of the aftermath, Steven. We'll cover all the family expenses for the dead brothers and the medical expenses for the injured, plus a bonus of 100,000 dollars. The seriously injured brothers will be increased to 200,000 dollars, and all the brothers involved in the war will be paid another 20,000 dollars each. I hope that would be enough for them." Martin James said.

Before the war, Martin James promised a settlement fee of 1 million dollars, but Martin James still mentioned 2 million dollars.

In that way, the consumption of that war was more than 100 million dollars, which was definitely a lot of expenditures. But it was also a sum of money that can never be saved.

The war was really a waste of money.

In fact, the conciliatory bonus given by Martin James was higher than that given by other underground forces. For example, the settlement fee given by Grover Jordan to his staff was only 300,000 dollars.

Of course, Martin James was now taking over Grover Jordan's territory. The value that can be created in the future would definitely be more than that.

"Martin, don't worry, I will do it!" Steven Smedley responded with a clenched fist.

"In addition, for those brothers who have performed well in this battle, they will be promoted!" Martin James proudly announced.

"Yes!" Steven Smedley clenched his fist again.

"Martin, what about me? What can I do for you?" Noah Croft asked.

"You have a more difficult task. Now that Grover Jordan is dead, QG City is our territory. You lead 500 of our Gold Security Company brothers to stay at QG City, to take over his site and property. Clean up his people, and stabilize the hearts and minds of his people as soon as possible." Martin James reiterated.

Although the consumption of that war was very large, but as a harvest, QG City will now be the territory of Martin James

"I will certainly take care of it Martin!" Noah Croft's tone was firm.

Noah Croft was Martin James's good friend in junior high school. Martin James naturally trusts him.

"Noah, you have one more important thing to do." Martin James stood up with a dignified look.

"Martin, just say it and I'll do as I'm told." Noah Croft looked firmly at Martin James.

"As far as I know, QG City has the hardest hit area of pyramid schemes, and it was handled by Grover Jordan. The boss behind the scenes, who is also protecting pyramid schemes. But I will definitely not make money on this. After you rectify the personnel, you will dismiss all pyramid schemes in QG City!" Martin James said.

Martin James was afraid to say that he was a very good person. But within the limits of ability, it was a little bit to be able to do a little good.

"Martin, I also hate MLM. I was almost tricked into it before. Martin, don't worry, I will certainly do a good job!" Noah Croft swore.

Then, as he turned around and left, he went to work on those things, and for a while later, they must be very busy.

"Martin, it was seized from Grover Jordan. You take it." Lone Wolf took out a pistol and gave it to Martin James.

Martin James took the pistol. Once when Martin James was just a poor boy, his contact with things were also very limited. A gun of that kind, that was something Martin James basically only saw on TV. As for how to use, truth be told, Martin James was not very clear and oriented about it.

Lone Wolf continued, "Keep the gun Martin. You can take it with you when you need it in case of a rainy day. You'll be safe with it."

"It's good, but I don't know how to use it yet." Martin James said with a dry smile.

"Martin, don't worry. It's very simple. I'll teach you some time." Lone Wolf offered with a smile.

Lone Wolf used to be a member of the Dragon Special Operations Team. Guns were naturally very playful and normal to them.

"Good! I appreciate that." Martin James smiled and nodded.

After all, Martin James does not know martial arts. If there were guns to defend themselves, it will be much safer.

For example, when he was chased and almost killed by Grover Jordan's men back in the days, he was overtaken by two enemies in the woods, and Martin James almost lost his life at that time.

And if there had been a pistol at that time, it would have been easy to shoot them.

It takes a lot of time and energy to learn martial arts, but after having a gun, it was often more effective than to fight with bare hands. The most important thing was that he doesn't have to spend a lot of time and energy to learn it. Training on how to use a gun would save him so much time and effort. Time is especially of the essence when it comes to war.

It was for that reason that since the rise of hot weapons, martial arts began to decline.

At that moment, one of his men came in and said, "There is a man outside Martin who wants to see you. He claims to be the little leader under Grover Jordan and says he has important information to report to you in person."

"I understand. Please let him in." Martin James said.

Martin James wants to know what important information this man has. That's why he was too eager to meet him and to evaluate his revelations.

Soon, a bald middle-aged man came in.

"Little York Whitman, participates in Mr. James!"

After the man entered the door, he made a kneeling salute to Martin James directly, and his attitude was also very correct.

"Get up and talk. I'm not in the habit of kneeling down here." Martin James said calmly.

"Yes!"

After the man answered, he hurriedly stood up.

"You said there was important information. What is it? Let's hear it." Martin James said calmly.

"I just heard that you like good masters very much. I happen to know one, and I'd like to report it to you Mr. James." The man said with a smile.

"I see. Alright then, tell me more about it." Martin James appeared to be interested.

Martin James was now rapidly expanding his strength. He knew that if there was a master, Martin James of course wanted to earn.

"There is a reclusive master in our QG City. Church, who lives in the mountains, is a Priest. He was known for being able to catch bullets with his bare hands." The man said.

"Pick up bullets with his bare hands? Really?" Martin James was stunned and looked a little unconvinced.

"Of course, for now, it was just a rumor. And basically, no one has ever seen him do it." The man replied.

"Since this man is so good, why didn't Grover Jordan take him under his command when he was still alive?" Martin James asked.

"Strong people like him Mr. James are arrogant. Grover Jordan has visited him in person many times, but to no avail." The man said.

At that time, White Shark also stood up and said, "Martin, when I used to play black punches, I heard people say that on the mountain of QG City, there was a master of the hidden world, and he must have been talking about the same person."

"Well, since it has spread so well, I'd like to see him for myself." Martin James smiled.

With that, Martin James looked down at the man.

"Your name is York Whitman, right? Do you have anything else important to report?" Martin James asked.

"There is another important thing Mr. James. It's about Grover Jordan's cousin named Stanley Ingersoll. Although he also surrendered to you Mr. James, I estimate that he is likely to plot against you Mr. James." The man said respectfully.

"I see. Your information is very important. If this Stanley Ingersoll is really negative, I will reward you. In addition to that, the position you used to be under Grover Jordan's rule would still be the same." Martin James said.

"Thank you, Mr. James! Thank you so much!" The man nodded happily.

After talking to Martin James, Martin James called for Noah Croft, and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Stanley Ingersoll. If he had the intention to turn against him, he would be removed immediately. He would allow such traitor on his side.

After the fall of Grover Jordan that evening, QG City would have to face a reshuffle, especially the industries related to Grover Jordan's business, which will also be affected.

And after the reshuffle, QG City underground forces will soon be under Martin James. He will take the lead from then on.

It was the second day after the battle, and they were still busy with all kinds of things. Noah Croft did his tasks just as what he was told. Martin James took Lone Wolf and White Shark to the mountain.

The purpose of Martin James going up the mountain that day very simple. He wanted to visit that hermit high man. Martin James would like to see if he was a true master, or a fake one.
