"You have already received one million pounds. This one million pounds is your salary for the next year. In this year, you won't have a fixed combat bonus unless you have some special performance. Since you got the money upfront, it seems like you don't have room to refuse."
After Gao Yang finished with a grin, James froze for a moment, frowned, and said, "Wasn't it supposed to be for five years?"
Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Our current situation is quite dangerous because we are at war with a very formidable opponent. So, we'll be fighting big and small battles throughout this year. I believe buying five years of your time for one million pounds is too much for an ex-SBS soldier. I'm a mercenary, not a profiteer. I can't do such a thing."
James took a breath, nodded to Gao Yang, and said solemnly, "Thank you!"
