Chapter 1108: 582

After all, the Great Sports Meet had just ended, and those athletes were all saying that the Chuan and Yu Region they saw was different from the one portrayed in the news.

But they also made it clear that they wouldn’t post what they saw and recorded on Twitter, Facebook, and the international version of TikTok because if they did, given their celebrity influence, it would definitely affect a large number of people.

So if that were the case, their accounts would be banned.

A capital market that dares to ban even the President’s account, what wouldn’t they dare to do?

Therefore, Sean Knight wasn’t surprised at all by Abdullah’s words, and he said with a scoff,

"If we were invading them, our army would already be marching on Delhi by now, so why would we pull back? We wouldn’t just invade others for no reason. As a great nation that has sustained a civilization for 5,000 to 10,000 years, we have our own dignity!"

Abdullah nodded, half-convinced.

Sean Knight knew that such things couldn’t be changed overnight, but changing even a little was something. Especially for a Crown Prince like Abdullah, who could influence the people of a country, it was necessary to make an impact!

"So... One brigade?" After learning about the combat power of Chinese Soldiers, Abdullah no longer requested an entire division and settled for less.

"Do you know how much just the wages for a battalion of soldiers cost every month?" Sean Knight countered.

"How much?" Abdullah’s expression relaxed upon hearing it came down to money.

He had money to spare!

"Let’s calculate based on a composite brigade consisting of five battalions," Sean Knight, improvising with the knowledge he gained from the Internet, continued:

"Each battalion has about 1,000 people, that makes 5,000. The wages I currently pay each of my team members overseas per month are..."

He converted the wages to US dollars and thought for a moment before saying,

"Soldiers get roughly 3,000 to 5,000 US dollars. Military officers get roughly 8,000 to 10,000 US dollars. So, the total monthly wages come to roughly 30 million dollars..."

"That’s three to four hundred million a year?" Abdullah asked casually, "That’s not much, is it?"

Well, that’s what they call financially powerful.

"That’s just wages. Then there’s maintenance funds, supplies, equipment, all of these cost money too!"

"What if I give you a one-off funding of two billion dollars, can you start building this unit for me, so I can see it?"

Sean Knight was a bit dumbfounded.

Damn it, he had cornered himself.

He had thought the issue of funds would scare the opponent off, but instead, the opponent threw out a huge package!

So, are you going to take it or not?

Two billion dollars wasn’t a lot for Sean Knight.

But for an overseas security company, that really was a significant amount. It was indeed a big deal!

"Are you really planning to set up a brigade?" Sean Knight still couldn’t believe it and asked Abdullah.

"If possible, of course, that’d be good," Abdullah said easily, "Of course, I have another request. Before you organize this brigade, can we do some sort of military exercise or parade or something?

You know, running my country, I can’t have the final say in everything. Some elders prefer things from the Western Realm. So..."

"No problem!" Sean Knight perked up immediately upon hearing that.

When it comes to military exercises and parades, China has never been outdone by anyone!

"Within half a month, you will see the results!" Sean Knight assured, "I’ll start working on it today!"

Abdullah left satisfied.

Sean Knight didn’t leave; he went to meet Aria Wilson.

Aria Wilson was wrapped up tightly again, not looking too happy.

"I told them, but they don’t believe me!" Aria lamented, "They think what I saw and experienced in China wasn’t real. I showed them the videos, and they said it was all staged..."

Sean Knight gently wrapped his arms around her, laughing as he said,

"First, they lack experience, and second, some of them might be jealous of you. When you get a chance, you can use our airplane to bring them to China’s New Province, invite them to see life there, and then they will believe it."

"Oh? That’s a great idea!" Aria brightened up immediately, "Hmph! I’ll go back after some time. There’s no freedom here at all!"

"Okay, okay, we’ll go back after a while," Sean Knight coaxed Aria like a child.

When leaving the King’s Palace, Sean Knight left Aria with something.

A scepter as long as a forearm.

An ivory handle with a gold head, topped with a large crescent-shaped emerald.

This scepter came from the treasury of the Swastika Force.

And within the scepter, there was a large quantity of energy.

Sean Knight had felt it himself; the energy within the scepter was very serene, that pure kind of faith energy, without a hint of violence.

He handed the scepter to Aria, saying,

"This is my gift to you. This is how you use the scepter." He handed the scepter to Aria and, holding her hand, channeled a thread of Spiritual Energy, guiding the energy within the scepter slowly into Aria’s body, nourishing her meridians.

The amount was small, but Aria felt it instantly.

"Sean, what is this..." Aria looked at him in amazement.

"Just know it’s something good," Sean Knight said with a smile, "It’ll make your body healthier and our baby stronger!"

"Okay, I got it!" Aria nodded earnestly.
