Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen

Chapter 92

Five grand for a piece of intel, that’s a rip-off.

Eddie was holding the blue ribbon in his hand, indecisive as hell.

Lucas tried to convince him, “We’ve come so far, it’s okay if we don’t have the intel, it’s not necessary to fork out that much.”

Eddie thought Lucas made a good point and was about to turn it down.

Out of nowhere, Egbert, who had been quiet all along, chimed in, “He’s just trying to make you feel better. As a soldier, he knows damn well that without intel, things will be very tough.”

Everyone, including Eileen, did a double-take at Egbert.

Eddie was taken aback. He looked at Lucas.

Seeing Lucas avoiding eye contact, he immediately asked Egbert, “What are you trying to say?”

Egbert casually replied, “To get out of this jungle, a map is indispensable. And to get the map, intel is the key. Without it, we’re stuck. So, all things considered, five grand per piece of intel is actually a fair price.”

Fair?

Eileen looked at Egbert, then out of the blue, she burst into laughter.

She chimed in, “Exactly, to get the job done, intel is a must-have. Five grand per piece of intel isn’t that steep. Of course, you can try and get other intel, but can you find it? And even if you do, can you get it? So my suggestion is, you should get it when it’s guaranteed.

Eddie got the point.

But he grimaced, “But five grand is too much!”

Eileen nonchalantly replied, “Well, the sooner you get the intel, the sooner you get the map. The first three teams to get out of the jungle get a cash prize.”

“Cash prize!” Eddie’s eyes brightened, “How could I forget about that?”

Eileen chuckled and said, “Yeah, if you use the bonus to subsidize it, the money you spend isn’t actually much, and it’s a very

cost-effective choice.”

-Eddie seemed to be swayed.

Just then, Lucas hesitated and said, “Well, let’s do it, deduct it from my prize.”

“It’s fine, we’ll split the cost.” Eddie responded, turning to Eileen, “We’ll take it!”

Eileen immediately handed them the blue ribbon.
