Chapter 229: Chapter 145: Retaliation (Fourth Update)
Beautiful Country.
New xico State.
As the state with the lowest population density in the Beautiful Country, New xico State has only about two million people, less than so cities, a typical case of vast land with sparse population.
Originally, this state was seized from xico, and because it borders xican territory and has a sparsely populated environnt, it is one of the major disaster areas for smuggling of Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid.
In a secret underground tunnel, several average-looking East Asian n pushed aside a disguised carpet, each carrying two huge iron boxes, and appeared in a villa courtyard.
By their side, there were also a few xicans following along.
“Miao Lun, brother, we’ll go this way, the cars outside are already prepared,” said Chiou Russell carefully. These East Asian n were the bosses of his boss’s boss; Cartel had personally ordered him to accompany them. It was said they ca from Southeast Asia and were persons of such importance that even Cartel’s boss would have to receive them.
“Is the escape route all arranged?”
Miao Lun scanned the surroundings to confirm once again.
“No problem, we’ve made thorough preparations,” Chiou Russell reassured, nodding again and again, yet he couldn’t help asking curiously, “But brother Miao Lun, what exactly are you going to do, being so secretive?”
“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t,” Miao Lun said indifferently, casting a glance that was fierce and bloodshot, an intimidating gaze. In that mont, Chiou Russell even felt as though he had seen the Grim Reaper, experiencing a suffocating sensation akin to being on the brink of death.
“What’s the real story behind these guys?”
Chiou Russell felt a bit of fear in his heart, but he dared not ask any more questions and hurried to call his companions to drive up several cars.
When Miao Lun and his companions placed the iron boxes into the bed of the pickup truck, the vehicle slightly sank downward, indicating their heavy load.
…
Two days later.
The cars arrived at a rather secluded manor town.
The place looked like a forest park, beautiful and serene, quiet and tidy, an image of tranquility and harmony.
The wealthy in the Beautiful Country are fond of manor environnts, maybe because of their cowboy culture. Despite their remote locations, these are undoubtedly affluent neighborhoods. Each manor is like a secluded kingdom for the wealthy, where they can raise cattle and horses, go fishing, admire the flowers, and enjoy their various leisure activities, making it an ideal retirent spot for the aged rich.
In the southeastern part of the town, there is a large manor surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with flowers in bloom and artistic statues scattered throughout. The interior is luxurious and grand, while the outside is so beautiful it seems like a paradise on earth, a hidden haven away from the world.
As the cars ca to a stop, Miao Lun and his group got out one by one, and after confirming their location with a map, they swiftly began their operation.
Each person opened their heavy iron boxes; one contained thick battle armor, and the other was filled with high-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, Gatlings, rocket launchers, and other destructive weapons made by humans.
Under Chiou Russell’s stunned gaze, Miao Lun and the others quickly put on their battle armor, connected the ammunition belts to the machine guns, and without another word headed towards the manor.
…
anwhile, inside the manor, an unpleasant eting was underway.
“Jose, why has the ban on Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid been lifted? Doesn’t this an all our previous preparations have been for nothing?”
“We invested billions of US dollars in the warlords, and now it’s all gone to waste, and you’re fully responsible for it.”
“Our hair growth products have almost completely lost the market under the pressure from Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid; Uncle Jose, you must co up with a solution!”
Jose Avelson sat at the head of the long table, surrounded by the mbers of the Averson Family.
Because of a series of decision-making errors, these family mbers today were here to confront him and put pressure on him.
“I indeed didn’t give enough consideration to dealing with the Jieke Group and underestimated how difficult Jieke Group would be.”
Jose’s voice was heavy, the general public was still unaware of Chan Country’s defeat at Fengpo Mountain, but as a capitalist from the Beautiful Country, he had his own channels of information and had already understood the truth of the matter.
Looking around at the family mbers, who were either angry, secretly pleased or expressionless, Jose continued, “It’s okay to bla , and I know so of you want to take my place. But as for Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, I will not give it up. It concerns the entire family’s interests. As long as I sit in this position, I can maintain the implentation of our established policies. If a new family head cos in, it might not be the case.”
“Jose, what do you an by that?”
Soone imdiately expressed their dissatisfaction upon hearing this.
Jose said indifferently, “Isn’t my aning clear enough? I’m afraid that soone might betray our family’s interests and seek a compromise and pacification with the Jieke Group. There has been so much gossip in the family lately, suggesting that we pay off the Jieke Group as a goodwill gesture and obtain the rights to distribute Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid.”
“Nonsense, I think you’re really senile, Jose. How could the family ever agree to that kind of thing?”
“Actually, this plan might not be so bad. Making money is what counts the most. Do we really have to fight to the death to prevail?”
“What? Jamal, I’m ashad you’re a mber of the Avelson family. The Avelson family would never compromise with a warlord.”
The eting room imdiately erupted into argunts, so willing to compromise, others insisted on fighting to the end.
“A disarrayed bunch, you vermin will never be able to strengthen the family!”
Jose watched this scene, shaking his head inwardly with a sigh.
It wasn’t until everyone argued themselves out of energy that Jose finally continued to speak, “Compromise is out of the question. Although Asder Pharmaceutical failed this ti, we haven’t lost. Sooner or later, Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid will be ours.”
Although no one knew where Jose’s confidence ca from, they were too exhausted to argue any further and could only watch as Jose perford.
A faint smile crossed Jose’s mind as he was about to continue unveiling his plan to seize Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid and demonstrate his ability to his family when he suddenly heard so noisy voices. It seed like a lot of people were running and yelling outside, as if there were also fireworks going off.
“What’s going on!”
Jose’s face showed anger; he was a person who highly valued noble courtesy, and such shouting and yelling were behaviors he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.
Just as Jose was about to find soone to inquire about the situation, the eting room’s wall was riddled with row after row of holes the size of sea bowls.
Large-caliber bullets penetrated the concrete walls and entered, severing several of the Avelson family mbers, who had just been in the eting, in half; their blood even splattered onto Jose’s face.
Bang bang bang!
Only then did the eting room, which had excellent soundproofing, finally make out the commotion—it was the sound of gunfire and explosions.
Jose’s expression was stiff; gone was his previous nonchalance as he looked outside in fear.
Through the bullet-ridden holes, it seed a few creatures clad in steel armor were slowly advancing toward the eting room, leaving a river of blood in their wake.
