Chapter 207: Chapter 123: Declaration of Allegiance (Third Update)
“Su Jie, Carter is here.”
A pair of lotus-like arms reached from behind, wrapping around Su Jie’s waist.
“Hmm, I’ll go have a chat with him.”
Patting Liu Yingying’s pert bottom, Su Jie stood up and walked into the living room.
Carter was standing there, having been called by Su Jie.
Step by step, Su Jie walked to the balcony, from where he could overlook the entirety of Te Lu City.
“Mr. Su, we’ve achieved considerable success in our operations this week.”
Carter said with excitement. His drug traffickers, after training, utilized underground tunnels to significantly challenge the border patrol’s spirit.
This could not have been achieved by his drug lords alone since their training was still lacking. Many were elite soldiers from Jieke Security, drafted to operate various heavy weaponry.
“Carter, are you loyal to me?”
Faced with Carter’s excitement, Su Jie suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.
Carter was taken aback. He immediately knelt down and lay prone on the floor, saying, “Mr. Su, my loyalty to you is unwavering. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in the position I am today.”
“Good, I need you to do something to prove this loyalty,” Su Jie said.
Writing an address on a piece of paper, Su Jie spoke indifferently, “Kill everyone at this place. In our Hua Country, this is called ‘submitting a name card.’ With your loyalty, I trust you won’t disappoint me.”
“Third Community Fawendun Building?”
Carter raised his head, not understanding what was special about this location.
“Inside, a group of CIA operatives and a United States Special Forces team have arrived. They plan to launch a decapitation strike to eliminate the heads of Tijuana and eradicate the smuggling network. You see how good I am to you, informing you in advance about the danger. Now, what you need to do is treat these people as prey. Understood?”
“CIA, we’re to kill the CIA,” Carter said.
Carter’s pupils constricted sharply. This was the United States Central Intelligence Agency, the famous world’s strongest military intelligence organization, backed by the global hegemon. If they touched their people, it was hard to imagine the kind of retaliation they would face.
“If you’re afraid, you can just sit quietly and wait for them to take off your head. I won’t force you,” Su Jie said, imposing psychological pressure with his words, to firm up the other’s resolve.
A fierce look flashed across Carter’s face. Born a drug lord, he had a ruthless heart. Grinding his teeth, he said, “Mr. Su, I understand what to do. If those CIA agents dare come here, I absolutely won’t let them leave. This is my territory in Mexico, and I’ll make them understand the consequences of encroaching on my turf.”
“I’ll await your good news, and also, the team isn’t pure anymore. Eliminate a group,” Su Jie instructed, waving his hand and tossing out a piece of paper.
Carter caught it reflexively and saw the names written on it. Several were his close aides. Cold sweat broke out instantly, and a vicious light flickered in his eyes.
“Mr. Su, I will hang all traitors,” Carter stated firmly.
After Carter left, Su Jie chuckled to himself.
“Things are getting more and more interesting.”
The CIA’s notoriety is known worldwide, and its presence is felt in the subversion of many hostile regimes.
This time they even mobilized for Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, who knows what interests Asder Pharmaceutical has promised them.
Mr. Carter, having just walked out of the grand flat, hadn’t yet gotten into his car when two loud thuds of heavy objects hitting the ground were heard.
Turning his head, he saw two bodies plummeting from the neighboring high-rise. Security guards went to check and found they were gang members, and discovered surveillance equipment on the corpses.
“It was Mr. Su who helped me clear the trouble.”
Mr. Carter raised his head, barely making out Mr. Su’s solitary figure on the balcony, and immediately understood the situation, his face growing darker.
It seems it was indeed CIA personnel who had already begun to monitor his movements.
“Drive back, tell the brothers in the gang to arm themselves, we’re going on a killing spree.”
With a cold command, a murderous intent surged in Mr. Carter’s eyes.
The Third Community Fawendun Building!
Located in the city center, it was one of the earliest constructed old houses, but with urban redevelopment, it had been neglected and was ordered to be evacuated and demolished to make way for new property sales.
Dika was currently in one of the houses, scribbling on a map surrounded by the elite of the CIA’s field operatives from Special Action Division Group A, consisting of 12 members all with rich combat experience, either active duty or retired military.
Unlike the office workforce specializing in intelligence gathering and political work, the field operatives were the CIA’s sharp blades, mainly engaged in assassination, sabotage, raids, ambushes and so on, occasionally training foreign insurgents and leading them in combat.
In addition to the field operatives, a Delta Special Team was also called in to coordinate with this operation, totaling 25 members of the elite forces of the United States military.
“Carter is a cautious man with as many as 12 residences, and the place where he rests each night is a spur-of-the-moment decision. To strike, we must first determine his whereabouts.”
Mikael Canto sat on the couch. For this operation, Mikael Canto had brought his subordinates to Te Lu City.
At that moment, another man with a robust build and fierce demeanor, a black man, slowly spoke, “We’re only responsible for eliminating the target. It’s up to you to pinpoint the enemy’s location.”
His name was Jacquen James, captain of the Delta Force.
“Don’t worry, we have informants in Tijuana, and they will provide the intel. Pinning down Carter’s location won’t be difficult.”
Dika pointed to a residence on the map and chuckled lightly, “He certainly won’t expect that one of his loyal bodyguards is also on our payroll. What’s the plan for taking action?”
“Same as usual, we’ll conduct a helicopter-borne raid, with support from fixed-wing platforms, drones, and satellites. The attack will take place from midnight to early morning, taking advantage of the darkness. Our side has excellent night-vision equipment, allowing us to achieve unilateral transparency on the battlefield, which is highly advantageous in capturing the target.”
Jacquen James pounded the map with a heavy fist, his tone decisive.
“No problem, I will contact the Mexican officials and have the higher-ups authorize our operation so the aircraft can cross the border.”
Mikael Canto spoke, noting that armed raids required coordination with Mexican officials, otherwise, helicopters would not be easily deployed.
“There’s an even easier way, send a few missiles from a Predator drone to this man named Carter’s residence, and everything would be solved.”
Jacquen James expressed some regret, as such precise targeted decapitation would be much simpler.
“We need a live capture. The Tijuana crime syndicate has been provoking us through smuggling. We must capture a live suspect and bring them back for trial to have a sufficient deterrent effect.”
Dika directly refuted; capturing Carter was not the primary reason, they needed to bring down the entire Tijuana Group.
It was also a demonstration of power against the backers of companies like Jieke and Tianyuan Daily, and the local warlord of Chan Country, Su Jie.
If they could force the adversary to hand over Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid directly, that would be ideal, but if not, they could still showcase the unparalleled strength of the United States, showing how foolish it was to think a crime syndicate could challenge the US.
