Emily crouched behind Jim, her body tense, the gun in her hand aimed at boss Baobao. Every breath she took was extremely cautious, so as not to alert the enemy ahead. However, Douglas kept squirming under boss Baobao's control, struggling like a trapped animal, making it difficult for Emily to find a stable shooting opportunity. Her fingertips trembled slightly because she knew that once she fired, she couldn't guarantee not to harm Douglas. 0
 
boss Baobao seemed to sense Emily's hesitation. A smug smile appeared on his lips as he tauntingly responded to Jim, "You guys are mercenaries, right? Douglas has been a major source of income in my territory..." His tone was full of sarcasm and mockery, "You mercenaries all rely on his skills to survive. If he dies... I think you'll have a hard time, won't you?" 0
 
 
This statement made the tense atmosphere in the air even heavier. Emily felt a surge of unnamed anger, but she also knew that it was not the time to act impulsively. boss Baobao using Douglas as a hostage was not only challenging their bottom line, but also testing their determination. Emily's eyes became more determined. She knew deep down that at this moment, they had no choice but to remain calm. 0
 
Jim's arrogance gradually faded under boss Baobao's words, and deep down he had to admit that there was an undeniable reality in boss Baobao's words. Although Douglas's actions were unpredictable and sometimes made them angry, it was undeniable that he was irreplaceable for the entire mercenary team. Especially in this dangerous and uncertain world, Douglas's skills not only saved their lives on multiple occasions, but also gave them more chances of survival on the battlefield. 0
 
 
Faced with this sudden dilemma, Jim could only stand firmly in place, fists clenched, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness as he glared at boss Baobao. His inner turmoil was a mix of hatred towards boss Baobao and concern for Douglas's safety. 0
 
Sensing Jim's hesitation and inner struggle, boss Baobao smirked deviously, his eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of a successful scheme. In that moment, boss Baobao became even more certain that Douglas was a powerful bargaining chip for them. He knew that as long as he held this hostage, he had leverage even against the fierce mercenaries they were facing. 0
 
 
In this tense standoff atmosphere, the entire dilapidated clinic corridor is filled with a depressing atmosphere. boss Baobao tightly grips Douglas, wearing a smug and malicious smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the power and control of the moment. He forcefully pulls at Douglas's collar, almost leaving the elderly doctor breathless. "Listen to me," boss Baobao's voice seems to come from the depths of hell, full of threats, greed, and particularly harsh, "Originally, I should have extorted thirty thousand Star Alliance coins from each of you. This is the price you must pay for stepping into my territory. But today, oh, you have given me a 'special' surprise!" 0
 
He continues arrogantly, "Look at this mess, my men have been beaten up by you, the entire clinic has been messed up by you, and there's so much damage! You have to compensate for my medical expenses, mental damages, and everything!" 0
 
 
boss Baobao deliberately elongated his voice, as if savoring the fear effect brought by each word, "So, I am now going to collect two hundred thousand Star Alliance coins from each of you, a total of six hundred thousand Star Alliance coins. This is the punishment you deserve!" 0
 
Upon hearing this astronomical amount of ransom, Jim was shaking with anger. A hint of rage flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, "You fat pig, have you eaten too much eight-treasure congee and fried your brain? Do you think we are newbies on our first mission to believe in such a fairy-tale price?!" 0
 
 
boss Baobao was not affected at all, but instead became even more proud, "Oh, it seems our mercenary buddy has quite the temper! But no money? Then we'll just have to use your blood to repay it. Don't forget, I have a lot of people here, and we're powerful." 0
 
Douglas was in a state of extreme panic, caught between two forces, and could only plead, "Please, don't do this, I haven't done anything, really!" Jim looked ahead and realized the situation was extremely unfavorable for them. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, but had already made up his mind. Once he found the opportunity, he would not let the extremely arrogant boss Baobao in front of him get away. 0
 
 
boss Baobao The remaining few little brothers, although not many in number, under the influence of boss Baobao, their courage doubled, and they all stood in front of Jim's group. Their faces bore a challenging and contemptuous smile, as if they already regarded Jim's group as their prey. In the face of such absolute power, they exuded an air of arrogance, as if they had already seen the scene of Jim and his group surrendering and handing over a huge ransom. 0
 
Jim, Sarah, and Emily looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and hesitation. Faced with such an absurd ransom demand, they knew they were unable to pay, but they couldn't just sit back and watch Douglas fall into the hands of boss Baobao. However, forcibly rescuing Douglas in the current situation would undoubtedly be adding fuel to the fire, and might even put themselves in an even more dangerous situation. 0
 
 
Jim's eyes flashed with determination, already formulating a plan in his mind. He knew that in this situation, confrontation was not the best option. He needed to find a way to ensure their safety while minimizing losses. Sarah quietly adjusted her armguard, exploring other technical means that could be utilized. Emily lightly gripped her weapon, aware that resorting to force might worsen the situation, but she remained prepared to act if necessary. 0
 
boss Baobao and his henchmen clearly did not realize that the group in front of them was not easily intimidated. At this moment, both sides were secretly strategizing, attempting to gain the upper hand. However, regardless of the outcome, this confrontation was destined to have a complex resolution. 0
