Chapter 231 Major Alonso
"You… you, you cheated!"
Jack looked at him with an expressionless face as he said, "Look at you, saying that I cheated when you cheated. You can clearly speak in Aziminian but you had been pretending all along. So, I decided that I would play the game with you."
After that, Jack ignored the guy and put his focus back on the role that he was playing at that moment. He went ahead and played the next place that the guy was talking in nyala.
"Nakhawola nji si kene mbole sinju tawe. Oh, niiviriye, nalosanga sana. Khanu, nenyekhana mbole nji, sikene lose eluka yi mwelewa tawe. Hata ni mbola esi mwenya, si kene mumanye esimanisya tawe."
TN; "I said that I won't say anything. Oh, I have forgotten, I'm already talking too much. So, I'm supposed to say that, I won't speak in a language that you can understand. Even if I say what you want, you won't know what I mean."
"Mmh, ni mbara akhaya akho khalingi khe hoteli indi eyi vailanganga vachi Soaring Eagle. Akhaya akho khaurile vachi khwenya aunju wa khuukula amateka. Khanu, akhaya akho khawola khachi kene khakhu yete ukhuwukula Glezi hoteli mateka. Lakini vinju si vyachiye ulayi tawe khanu vatila vanju vefwe. Alafu emichinga ikyo kyawola eyi ndi. Kali nyala khuvanyola, kene vamike."
"Mmh, I think that little guy was from a hotel called Soaring Eagle. That little guy had gotten the information that we were planning to take hostages. So, that guy came forward and said that he would help us in taking over Glaze hotel. But, things didn't go well as they arrested our people.
Then, those idiots said where I was. If I ever get a hold of them, I'll make sure to strangle them."
"Aunju ukhuwukulanga ekasi chefwe ata siatayi tawe. Nuwenya okucha muprovince indi ila, ya mashariki, khuboda eyo, mwilova, khulinende enyumba engali ichumikha kama erumu ye kontroli. Khanu…. "
TN; "Where we usually take our jobs is not even far. When going to the eastern province, on that border, underground, there is a big building that is used as the control center. So…"
Jack completed the translation after about ten minutes. And since the proceedings in the room were being recorded, he didn't have to repeat himself over and over again as Valnaro would simply go through the video to get the information that he didn't get.
After he was done, he looked at the guy whose eyes were almost listless the moment that he had just revealed all the information that was supposed to be a secret.
At that moment, the guy was regretting that he was actually getting so arrogant that there was nobody that could understand what he was saying.
So, he had thought that this was a good opportunity for him to release whatever was in his chest. This was great secret that he was never supposed to reveal to another person.
But now that he had someone that was willing to listen to him, then he was going to use the opportunity to say it all and free his chest. Furthermore, the person that was listening to him couldn't even understand.
So, this was killing two birds with a single stone. Not revealing the information, well they couldn't understand, and he was going to be mentally relieved.
Now, he was wallowing. He had never thought things through at all. Had he thought about the fact that Jack had asked for payment so that he could do the translation, he should have known that Jack could understand him.
Furthermore, there was a recording, so, if they used the information that they had gotten, then the moment that they had gotten someone that could do the translation for them, they would surely find out what he was saying.
Jack shook his head and looked at Valnaro as he said, "Let's get going to see this major that had me coming over here. Now that I'm in a good mood, I'll transfer the $1B that you gave me back to you.
You guys are soldiers and there's no way that I'm going to take the money that was considered as your budget. So, I won't make you guys suffer for something simple like that. So, for the payment for my services, you can add to the request that you are supposed to help me on fulfilling according to the deal that we had."
Jack stated as he began heading for the door. He had already received what he wanted. So, instead of making the lives of the soldiers hard, he could as well go ahead and ask for a favor later.
What's more, a simple $1B out of the total $100B that he had received was nothing at all. So, he would end up getting $99B and a favor out of all of this.
"Jack, that can't happen. I have already agreed to having the money given to you. So, there is no way that I'm taking that back, I'm a man of my word after all." Valnaro refuted as he followed Jack out of the room.
The two of them left the bearded guy alone in the room as the guy could only place his head on the table as he wallowed at his mistakes.
Valnaro on the other hand couldn't accept what Jack was doing. To him, this was akin to Jack showing pity to him and the soldiers under him. There was no way that he was going to allow that considering that they as soldiers had pride of their own to defend.
Jack looked at him and said, "I'm not pitying you guys at all. It's just that the money that I have received will do nothing for me as I have more than that money in the account that is still looking for a place to be invested."
"And, I thought that it would be better for me to get the payment for my services by something that can help me in the end. Don't you think that my services are worth a lot more than money that would simply stay in my account."
Valnaro thought about it and thought that what Jack said was true. So, he could only let out a sigh as he walked with Jack out of the dungeon that was cleaner that most people could imagine, then back to the parking lot.
After that, Valnaro drove the car further inside after he had left a couple of instructions to his subordinates about what he was supposed to do. Jack had also left his contact information for the old lady so that she could contact him later on.
After that, Jack stayed in the car and waited for the car to arrive at the destination. And not long after they followed the rough road, they got past another checkpoint.
According to Valnaro, they had entered the territory of another company. But still, Jack cared nonetheless about that as he wasn't here to associate with the soldiers. He just wanted to know what the major wanted to see him for.
After about thirty minutes of driving, they arrived in an area that had many buildings as compared to the ones that Jack had seen at the Rippers Garrison Eleventh company base. Not only were the buildings better looking due to the maintenance that they underwent regularly, they were even advanced.
Jack couldn't help but wonder of he had really gone to another town or the garrison. After all, the way that the area was developed was no different from a town.
Furthermore, there were soldiers that were moving around in their civilian clothing just like how Valnaro had dressed like when he had gone to pick up Jack only to change into his official military uniform when they were leaving his base.
After getting out of the car, Jack followed Valnaro who led the way towards the middle of the military town, how Jack decided to call it. They went through another checkpoint before they entered the town.
After getting there, they still headed towards the center of the town. And not long after that, they arrived in front of a mansion. It wasn't something big, just a moderate one.
But still, it had a touch of art on it. It had a courtyard that was full of green.
Valnaro walked to the door of the mansion and knocked on it. And not long after that, there was a sound of footsteps that headed their way from the inside.
When the footsteps halted, the door was opened and an old face appeared in front of Jack. Well, although Jack was terming it as old, it was that of a person who was likely to be in his fifties and there were several strands of his hair that had already turned grey.
All the same, he was neat, not only in the military uniform, but also the hair that was well kempt.
The moment that the door was opened, Valnaro stood in attention and gave a military salute. "Good day Major!"
"No need for the formalities when you are in my mansion. That's something that you are supposed to do only when I'm on duty at that moment." The major chuckled as he waved his hand to dismiss the serous attitude of Valnaro.
He then gazed at Jack who was looking at him curiously. With a smile on his face, he greeted, "It's nice to see you in person, Jack."
"It's nice meeting you major." Jack greeted back as he shook the major's outstretched hand. "May I perhaps know why you wanted to see me?" He added after he released the major's hand.
"Straight to the point, huh? Anyway, come in and have something to cool yourselves down. After that, we can talk about the reason as to why I invited you over." Major said.
He then led the two into the mansion. The mansion was just well organized from Jack's perspective. The living room had several couches, a table a TV and a few artistic paintings that were hang on the wall.
After the two of them took a seat, the major went ahead and took juice from the fridge and poured it into the glass of the two. And as they began drinking, he began talking.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Major Alonso, the one that heads the eleventh to fourteenth companies."
