Everyone was shocked by his sudden proposal . The only one unfazed was Xinghe .
"Because of my money?" she asked directly .
Sam nodded with a large smile . "That's right! Of course, you're a catch too and I'm not shabby myself, so why not…"
"Well, at least you're honest," Xinghe interrupted, "But I have to tell you, the money isn't mine . If there's chance in the future, I will introduce the both of you… maybe you two can get married instead . "
Then Xinghe walked away . However, she turned after a few steps and said, "By the way, it's a he . "
AdvertisementSam was silent, while Wolf, Ali, and Cairn burst out in mocking laughs . Xinghe turned back to walk away and a smile threatened to surface on her face . She was able to joke with Sam like that because she knew Sam was joking with her as well . However, she couldn't help but wonder what Mubai's reaction would be if he was around . With her thoughts rounding back to Mubai, she started to worry about his situation again .
It had been three days since the plane crash so there wasn't any time for her to waste . Xinghe immediately had Sam and the rest go out to search for the man . They had a wide range connections so they could send out a lot of people to look for him .
Xinghe didn't sit around doing nothing, she left Mubai a message on the internet . If he was still alive, he would have seen it . Furthermore, she had used a sizeable amount of his money, he would have noticed it . Xinghe tried searching for him while leaving traces for him to reach her .
However, other than Mubai, Xinghe was searching for another person . He was Sam and the rest's teacher, Charlie .
Xinghe asked for Charlie's details from Ali and the rest . She only then realized how impressive Charlie was . Charlie was once a famed mercenary but was detained for many years due to an undisclosed reason . After he got out of jail, he made himself a living in Country Y .
He stayed away from mercenary groups, preferring to work solo until he found Sam and the rest . However, one month ago, Charlie had disappeared without a trace . Sam and the gang couldn't locate him no matter what . They suspected he had left the country on one of his assignments .
"However, it's been a month and whenever Charlie leaves on a job, he would tell one of us," Ali said worriedly . "Which is why I suspect that something has happened to him . "
"We think so too, it's the only explanation why we haven't received any communication from him," Wolf added with a sigh .
Xinghe nodded . "Then we'll look for him together . After all, we have money now and everything has a price . "
"Xinghe, why do you want to look for Charlie?" Cairn asked and the rest looked at her .
Xinghe answered softly, "I need his help with something; you'll see when the time comes . "
"Alright, well, thank you for your help . " Sam nodded . They were glad for Xinghe's help . Just like that, they'd mobilized a lot of forces to increase the search effort . The news quickly spread, there was no secrets among the many different forces . Furthermore, the reward of 3,000,000 USD had drawn in a lot of 'favors' . To their surprise, news about Charlie came as soon as the day after!
