Dominic looked at everyone present, especially giving Johnny an extra glance. He wasn't familiar with this newcomer; if Tej and Han hadn't both known him, he probably would have turned him away.
Out of trust for Han and Tej, he temporarily accepted this guy, hoping he wouldn't disappoint him.
No one spoke, their gazes all fixed on Dominic. As the one who had summoned them from around the world, they wanted to know what Dominic intended to do.
Han was the most indifferent among them; he had initially come to Rio to rescue Dominic, and after that, they had parted ways. It was only this time that Dominic had called him back again.
On the contrary, he was a little happy to see Johnny.
Then, Dominic slowly recounted his experiences from the past period.
"Two months ago, I was supposed to be transported to prison, but Brian and Mia, and a few friends here..."
Two months ago, Brian and Mia successfully hijacked a prison transport to rescue him. They then fled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where they met their old friend Vince.
In Rio, they took on a car theft mission, but during the theft, they discovered a chip in one of the cars that recorded the drug lord Reyes's criminal transactions.
Unexpectedly obtaining the chip recording Reyes's criminal transactions exposed his drug network and financial distribution, leading to Reyes's relentless pursuit.
Brian was also targeted by Hobbs because he and Mia became FBI fugitives for hijacking the prison transport to rescue Dominic.
They should have continued their escape, but on the run, Mia told Brian and Dominic the news that she was pregnant.
This news immediately shocked both of them.
As Mia's boyfriend, Brian had essentially already considered Mia his wife, and his wife's pregnancy meant that his child was about to come into this world.
After learning of Mia's pregnancy, Brian was completely stunned, and it took him a while to react. He hugged Mia tightly, but his heart felt a little bitter because he couldn't give Mia a stable life.
Even after Mia became pregnant, he still had to take her on the run, avoiding pursuit, which made him feel sad and secretly curse himself for being useless.
As Mia's brother, Dominic was Mia's closest relative. His sister being pregnant was a pleasant surprise for him, but more than that, it was a worry for their future life.
He didn't want his soon-to-be-born nephew to live a life of constant upheaval like him, and they were currently being hunted, making it difficult for him to guarantee Mia's safety.
After Dominic and Brian exchanged glances, they understood each other's intentions: they needed to provide Mia with a stable life.
This was for Mia, and also for the unborn child in her womb.
After learning of Mia's pregnancy, Brian decided to end their life on the run, but they urgently needed a large sum of money to obtain new identities and a stable future.
"The news of Mia's pregnancy made Brian and me abandon the passive escape strategy. We need to acquire enough funds to ensure the newborn can grow up in a safe environment."
Dominic's voice was very magnetic as he slowly stated his ultimate goal.
If it weren't for Mia's pregnancy, Dominic might not have wanted to secure a stable life so quickly, as obtaining a large sum of money isn't easy.
But the current situation no longer allowed him to continue deliberating; only by quickly acquiring legal identities and money could they bring a more stable future for the newborn.
After listening to Dominic, the others were silent for a while. They naturally understood what Dominic wanted to do: he needed to pull off a big job to make money.
"So what's your plan?"
Pierce, being more impatient, directly asked the question he cared about most.
Although he knew Dominic wanted to make money, how to do it and whose money to take was very important. He didn't want to get inexplicably involved in other gang conflicts.
"Reyes."
Dominic slowly spoke the name of the main target, the big boss from his car theft operation, and also the person who had been relentlessly pursuing him during this time.
"What?"
Pierce was first stunned. Good heavens, Dominic, you've got some nerve! Someone's chasing you, and you're still thinking about going after their money?
Gisele's gaze fell on Mia's belly; she was still very pleasantly surprised by her pregnancy.
The empathy among women is still very strong.
Tej heard this and, of course, understood Dominic's intentions. He didn't speak but continued listening.
"This is between you and Reyes. I don't want to get involved. Reyes is a big drug lord, and I don't want to make an enemy of them." After saying this, Pierce walked towards the exit.
No one spoke, but their gazes were all on Dominic. At this moment, Dominic smiled slightly.
He said loudly, "The problem is, this job is a big deal worth 100 million usd!"
Dominic knew Pierce too well; this money-grubbing guy would definitely stop when he heard 100 million usd.
Sure enough, Pierce's feet were rooted to the ground, unable to move.
He turned back to look at Dominic with some disbelief, saying, "What? How much did you just say, 100 million usd?"
This was indeed a number that could move him, and it was very sincere.
Seeing Pierce's exaggerated expression and movements, everyone present smiled knowingly.
Except for Johnny, they all knew that Pierce's apparent departure was actually just him considering the pros and cons; after all, confronting a major drug lord wasn't a very good choice.
But after hearing such a generous reward, he changed his mind.
In his words, Dominic had convinced him with sincerity. That was 100 million usd, not 10,000, not 100,000, and certainly not 1 million.
There were 9 people present, meaning each person could average over 10 million. He would have to be crazy not to take on the risk for such a deal.
It's important to remember that risk and reward are directly proportional; to get this money, one must bear this risk.
Soon, the others turned their attention to Johnny, the newcomer, as they weren't familiar with him and wanted to know what he thought.
"Me? Not making money when it's available would be idiotic." Johnny shrugged.
"Oh, wow ~ I forgot to introduce him to you. This friend of mine is a hitman, you know?"
Tej was very excited; having a hitman friend was really super cool, wasn't it?
And this hitman friend had rushed over to help him without even asking for any reason.
After hearing Tej's words, everyone present's eyes changed, but they quickly calmed down. If he was one of their own, then it wasn't a big problem.
