Chapter 514: The second mission
Xiao Luo’s intuition told him they had sothing to do with it, and he didn’t buy the argunts Gu Zhanguo, and Dongfang Zhuoyu put up. But, he rembered the great kindness that Gu Zhanguo had once shown him, and if it weren’t for him, Xiao Luo would have been thrown in jail when he was in Jiangcheng. This would have brought great sha to his family. In a certain sense, the NSA did serve as a safety net for him. Being born into this country and being one of the nation’s top fighters, he was all too well aware that he was sotis quite extre in his actions.
“I will take into careful consideration your… well, let’s call them advice, for now. But if they keep asking for it, then I will have no choice,” Xiao Luo said.
“Sure, sure,” Gu Zhanguo said.
He sighed and patted Xiao Luo on the shoulders. “I hope you can understand. The country must have so order, and certain rules have to be observed. I could protect you while you were in Jiangcheng, but now that the Bai family is involved, if they really choose to go after you, then even I can’t protect you.”
Since they had already reached an understanding, there was no need to cover up any longer, and Gu Zhanguo chose to be candid.
“I understand,” Xiao Luo said.
“That said, if the Bai family really intends to touch you again, they will have to consider whether they have to capability to do so carefully. We at the NSA are definitely no pushovers. The Bai family only have themselves to bla that you hurt that girl. If they dare to target you again, I will mobilize an entire division and blast them out of their family mansion,” Dongfang Zhuoyu said.
Dongfang Zhuoyu’s words shocked Gu Zhanguo, and he turned quite pale. He gave a dry cough and said, “Old man, do you think that you are still young and vigorous? Do you wish to start a civil war and beco the nation’s enemy?”
“What civil war or nation’s enemy are you talking about? So what if we beat up the Bai family?” Dongfang Zhuoyu retorted. But he quickly realized the severity of what he had said after being prompted by Gu Zhanguo. “Speaking of civil wars, I should bring up the case of Libya, and African country. They are currently divided into two ard forces, black and white. The entire country is caught in the dark shadow of civil unrest thanks to politics and power.”
Dongfang Zhuoyu found himself trying to steer away from the topic of the Bai family and bringing up the case of Africa. The more he spoke, the muddled his thoughts beca, until he latched on to a na he knew would interest Xiao Luo. “In a land of war, it is a paradise for the rcenaries. As one of the senior executives in Blackwater Company, Khun Sa is currently leading his underhanded team of rcenaries and recklessly fishing for gold in Libya,” he said.
“Khun Sa?” Xiao Luo asked.
He squinted his eyes instantly, for it had been so ti since he last heard this na—it was one that had been listed on his kill list from a long ti ago. He was bound to kill this man if he even dared to harbor any thoughts of harming his family.
“Well, it seems like you have a strong desire to kill him. The mont you heard his na, there was a clear murderous intent in your eyes,” Dongfang Zhuoyu remarked.
Xiao Luo didn’t deny it. “He is a long ti enemy, and it’s also about ti to end this,” he said, “I assu my second mission should be related to him; if not, Director Dongfang would not have wasted such ti on this.”
“Well, perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it was coincidental. Your second mission is to protect a war correspondent and make sure they make it out alive,” Gu Zhanguo responded.
“The white forces are a governntal army, while the black forces belong to the rebel army. That war correspondent has detailed pictorial records of the rebel army brutally killing the governnt forces, prisoners, and the people. Once exposed, they will face a lot of pressure due to negative international public opinion, and it will be very detrintal to the seizure of Libya’s politics and power.”
As such, this war correspondent has been on their blacklist, and they have even issued a kill order to prevent this war correspondent from getting away. But they had already exhausted all their resources dealing with the governnt and the army. As a result, the assassination of the war correspondent was entrusted to rcenaries, and the group they entrusted the job to was none other than Khun Sa and his gang.”
The corners of Xiao Luo’s mouth arched upwards into a devilish smile. “Interesting! This is getting interesting!” he said.
Gu Zhanguo and Dongfang Zhuoyu both shuddered when they saw him smile. Usually, other agents would turn pale with fear when they heard of this kind of war, but not Xiao Luo. He seed to relish it and even laughed cynically.
“Cough, cough… I shouldn’t have to explain the dangers of this mission. You should already know the dangers involved. You won’t know exactly when a bullet will hit you or when a shell will drop next to you in a land at war. Are you ntally prepared for this?” Gu Zhanguo asked.
“We understand if you wish to reject it,” Dongfang Zhuoyu added.
Xiao Luo laughed and said, “Why would I want to reject? I’ve been waiting all this while to et Khun Sa. Also, I would like to confirm, there are no legal restrictions in Libya at all, right?”
“The country is already on the verge of falling apart, even if there are legal restrictions, who will be left to enforce them?” Dongfang Zhuoyu said.
“Haha… well, that’s great!”
Xiao Luo could feel his blood rising. He already knew that there was a beast living in his body, always ready to unleash itself. And now, in Libya, a warzone, the shackles would be released.
“Gulp!”
Gu Zhanguo and Dongfang Zhuoyu looked at one another, then swallowed their saliva hard. Xiao Luo was emanating an aura of bloodlust and evil once again.
…
Xiao Luo left the NSA headquarters after being briefed thoroughly on the mission. During this period, he had not seen King Kong or Drug Lady at all. According to Gu Zhanguo, they had both gone off to perform tasks assigned to them by headquarters. King Kong had gone off to another country to fight a civil war and help the governnt forces deal with the rebel armies.
Drug Lady was in Japan to deal with the Asou family. The clan had ddled in their national security, and retaliatory action had to be taken to send out a strong ssage.
Xiao Luo didn’t show much interest in their missions. Anyway, they always carried out their own missions and did not get in each other’s way.
After returning to Crescent Bay, Xiao Luo made a phone call ho. His father, Xiao Zhiyuan, who told him that the farm had already opened for business. Of course, only the farm was in operation first, and they were developing the business by phases. The other aspects of the business were still under construction.
His father also sent him many pictures of the farm, and Xiao Luo took a quick look at them. The farm had changed a lot. There was a clear lake that served as a reservoir. Ducks were waddling around and swimming on the lake, a flight of pigeons was making its way across the blue skies above, andering roads led into the mountains, and there was a fishing platform, a sight-seeing platform, a car park, among others. Everything was there, and the concept that had been envisioned initially was slowly becoming a reality.
“It’s all good, Dad. You’ll be the chairman from now on,” Xiao Luo said.
“Your na is on the farm’s business license. You are the real chairman. I’m just helping you take care of it,” Xiao Zhiyuan replied, in a rather stern tone. But, there was joy in his voice.
Xiao Luo laughed dryly and switched the topic. “Is Zhenyun still helping out there?” he asked.
“Yeah, that kid seems to have beco a changed man ever since returning from Xiahai. He has beco more diligent and more willing to endure hardship. I am prepared to handover the farmhouse business to him once he gets the hang of it.”
“By the way, I heard from your aunt that he was part of so pyramid sche in Xiahai?” Xiao Zhiyuan asked.
“There’s nothing to worry about. He just made so bad decisions, that’s all.”
Xiao Luo chose not to speak of the matter. For Ding Zhenyun, it was a painful experience, and he knew very well that this cousin of his was a prideful person. It was all in the past, and there was no need to ntion them again.
