Chapter 193 - Confirming the Time of the Drill
“We doesn’t provide any weapons for this prison break drill, but it would be impossible for us to succeed without weapons. So, I plan to borrow an LR5 sniper rifle, two handguns, some blanks for the drill, and some high-explosive bombs from you.”
“These things are for Venus, Will, and the others to use.”
“After all, we are a group. Since we want to escape from prison, it makes sense that the person receiving us has some weapons.” Jon slowly said.
Actually, he could also borrow weapons from the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
However, because this drill did not have much to do with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there was no need to borrow weapons from the director.
Moreover, it was troublesome.
Anyway, he was already here.
He could conveniently borrow some of the weapons he needed. After all, these weapons were for the use of Venus and the other police officers.
Hearing this, the commissioner fell into deep thought.
The matter of borrowing weapons was not really a big deal.
After all, there were sniper rifles and high explosives in the weapons.
“Warden, since the prison doesn’t provide weapons, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for me to get some from other places, right?”
While the commissioner was deep in thought, Jon asked the warden again.
“As long as the commissioner agrees, I have no objections.” the warden replied.
“Alright then. Since you brought my people to the drill, and the warden has no objections, then I’ll lend you this weapon.”
“After all, as a robber, it doesn’t make sense you don’t have any weapons in your hands.” the commissioner joked.
After thinking for a while, he still agreed to Jon’s request.
The reason why he lent the weapon was partly because the commissioner admired Jon. Since Jon had already spoken, the commissioner couldn’t refuse him.
And partly because Jon had brought four people from his own police force to participate in the drill. If they won, it would raise the impression of his police department
Therefore, the commissioner decided to give Jon and the others a little help.
The matter of the weapons was thus settled.
“Then let’s discuss the time for the drill. Your last drill has just ended. You must be very tired, so see how much rest time you need.”
“The time for this prison break drill is up to you.” The warden looked at Jon and said.
This was a practical drill. Since Jon and the others entered the prison as prisoners, the prison did not need to prepare anything.
They just asked Jon to set a time and send Jon and the others into the prison as if they were prisoners.
“Then how about this? This drill will be set in five days.”
“I’ll go to New York City to take care of some things. After two days, I’ll head to Philadelphia.”
“When the time comes, my team and I will take some time to get a clear picture of the situation around the prison. Then, we can begin.” Jon thought for a moment and said to the warden.
The previous bank robbery drill required him to get a clear picture of the situation around the bank and find a suitable escape route.
Therefore, he needed to spend quite a long time.
And this time, the preparation work required was far less than the bank robbery drill. Five days was enough.
Although Aga Mountain Prison was in Pennsylvania, it was not in the same place as the police station.
Aga Mountain Prison was in Philadelphia.
Therefore, two days later, Jon went directly to Philadelphia.
There was no need for him to come to the police station.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you at the Aga Mountain Prison. When the time comes, if you have any details that you need to add, we’ll discuss it again.”
The warden nodded. “I look forward to our cooperation during this prison break drill.”
After saying that, he reached out his hand.
Jon also reached out his hand and shook the warden’s hand.
Then, the warden took out a much-prepared disclaimer. In front of the commissioner, Jon, Will Smith, and the others all signed their names on it.
They also pressed their handprints.
They also confirmed that Gal Gadot would be the official live broadcast reporter.
After the agreement was made, it was already evening.
The commissioner invited a few people to have a meal in the police dining hall.
The warden left and returned to Philadelphia.
Jon and Gal Gadot stayed in Pennsylvania for a day.
The next day, they took the high-speed train back to New York.
Because on the high-speed train, Gal Gadot already informed the station manager of the city television station, so when they got off the high-speed train, the station manager had already met them at the exit.
This time, the station manager personally came to welcome them.
From this, it wasn’t hard to see how much importance the station manager placed on Jon.
After all, Jon had brought huge popularity to the city television station.
After returning to the television station, the station head didn’t waste any time. He directly took out the contract and let Jon sign It.
After signing the contract, the live broadcast platform sent people to settle Jon’s live broadcast earnings.
Including the earnings from the previous drill.
Jon received a total of 200 million US dollars.
Looking at these earnings, Jon was a little shocked.
After all, the total earnings from the previous drill were only 30 to 40 million US dollars.
In other words, the Florida drill’s earnings this time had reached more than 100 million US dollars!
It was even more than robbing 10 banks.
Following that, Gal Gadot handed over the details for the next drill, as well as the press release of the meeting between Jon and the commissioner of Aga Mountain Prison, to the station manager.
The station manager was so excited that his mouth almost split open.
He had never expected to receive such a big piece of news.
After all, the previous drill between Jon and Aga Mountain Prison had already been announced in the live broadcast.
The station manager thought that there wouldn’t be any exclusive news at the start of the battle.
However, he didn’t expect Gal Gadot to bring back the details of the drill as well as the video of meeting of Jon and the warden.
This was something that other news outlets couldn’t possibly get!
Another exclusive news!
This was another good opportunity to increase the viewership.
During the prime time of the night, the station manager released this news.
Once it was released, the exact time that Jon would have a drill with the Aga Mountain Prison was known to all the viewers.
After all, they were waiting for this matter.
The station manager couldn’t release this news for less than ten minutes.
It went straight to the top of the trending topics on Twitter.
At the same time, the major websites and media outlets also reported one after another. In an instant, the hype exploded.
Compared to the previous two press releases, this time it caused a greater response.
This was Jon’s overwhelming popularity!
