Chapter 814: The war in not over

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Rundi

“…Hijacked a cargo carrying European industrial machine tools. Attacked an embassy in Djibouti. Launched a terrorist attack in Yemen, and exerted pressure on the local government… Employers generally hire us for the dirty work inconvenient for them to do. The reward is handsome, the intelligence is guaranteed, and the risk of the mission is usually very low…”

In a dark room with only a single beam of light, Zaid’s hands were tied behind the chair. His head was dangling back, his eyes were fixed on the dark floor while drool leaked from his mouth. The appearance indicated he was injected with the truth-telling serum.

With his crimes, it was taking it easy on him to use the truth-telling serum. However, Jiang Chen did not intend to waste time on these minuscule details, and he still needed this guy, so he used the most effective method.

“Who is your employer?” Jiang Chen asked in a cold tone.

“Employers do not reveal their identity. This is an industry practice…”

“Who is responsible for contacting you?”

“Arrow Military.”

“Mayotte Island in the west of Madagascar…”

The necessary intelligence was gathered. Jiang Chen turned off the recording pen on the side of the table and then gestured for Ayesha.

Ayesha understood, grabbed a bucket, and splashed water on the pirate’s head.

A puddle of cold water was poured over his face. Zaid coughed violently and then woke up.

The dim light made him unable to see who was sitting across from him. He could only see a black rifle leaning against his side.

“You, you are…”

“You don’t need to know who I am. Let’s do a deal.”

“What deal?”

“Take my people to the location. If the deal works, I can let you live,” Jiang Chen said without hesitation.

“You’re crazy…do you know who they are? Arrow Military, although only a private military contractor, can smash the 22,000 regular troops of Madagascar!” Zaid’s eyes quivered in uneasiness as his beard shook constantly. “We will die…”

“Before you refuse, I should make it clear.” Jiang Chen put up a finger and smiled. “If you don’t cooperate, you will die now.”

Sweat drops dripped from Zaid’s forehead. He was clearly conflicted. Then he lowered his voice.

“Why should I trust you?”

“Just because you are only an ant to me.” Jiang Chen said apathetically.

Just an ant…

Zaid’s mouth twitched but it was irrefutable.

“Cooperate, or die. Make your choice.”

Instead of trying to persuade him, Jiang Chen whipped out a pistol and loaded the gun. Then he pressed it against his head.

The cold metallic feeling made Zaid’s heart pump furiously.

He didn’t want to die. His deposit in Switzerland still had more than twenty million dollars in blood money. This money would be enough for him to flee to any country and start a new life. Even if Arrow Military and the forces behind them pursue him, it would be better than dying on the sea.

“…I will cooperate.”

Jiang Chen smiled and put away the gun.

“Wise choice.”

After the cooperation was reached, Zaid was temporarily locked in a dark room and guarded by a drone. Because he needed to confirm contact with Arrow, Jiang Chen loosened him and handed the intercom to him.

“Every word you say will be recorded. If you dare to play any tricks, the drone will automatically shoot you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Looking at Zaid’s desperate nod, Jiang Chen closed the cabin door and locked it from the outside.

The bloodstains on the ship had been washed away by the rescued hostages. At the request of Jiang Chen, the pirates’ clothes and equipment were all pulled off of their bodies. They were thrown into a cabin and locked and sprayed with disinfectant.

He had other uses for the bodies.

After these things were completed, the High-Tech Freshwater employees returned to their dorms, and the crews who had no tasks returned to their rooms. Although they didn’t ingest anything since that morning. After such a tragic accident, they didn’t have the appetite.

While passing through the cabin, Ulrika, who was rescued by Jiang Chen, suddenly hugged him and gave a kiss to the hero who saved her. However, when she hinted to see if Jiang Chen could accompany her back to the dorm and stay with her for a while, Jiang Chen declined the beauty’s request because he was not in the mood.

She was not at the scene at the time and knew nothing about Jiang Chen’s identity. If she knew that he was not a special force soldier, but the group’s chairman, would she blush at her own thought?

After all, foreigners looked at Han as if they looked alike, just like when Han looked at foreigners. Even if he met Gate or Jobs on the street, if no one pointed them out, Jiang Chen would not recognize them either.

Returning to Droplet, Jiang Chen set it on auto-cruise mode and followed the cargo vessel.

After about two hours, the night was already approaching, and the two black dots flew from the distance.

Two black hawk helicopters flew in tandem and were filled with soldiers of Sea Lions Special Forces.

In the cheers of the hostages, the soldiers wearing black combat suits dropped to the platform. Garrett hung the rifle behind the kinetic skeleton and walked towards Jiang Chen waiting at the bow.

“Boss.”

Due to his identity, Garrett just forced a smile and swallowed the “too reckless” in his stomach.

Jiang Chen looked at the equipment on him.

“Is this the K2 kinetic skeleton?”

Since the last time they were almost wiped out in Antarctica, the newly organized Sea Lion Special Forces had been equipped with the K2 kinetic skeleton produced by the Sixth Street military factory. These skeletons could mount more modules, including optical imaging, anti-EMP, and nitrogen shields which were not possible with the K1 model.

“Yes,” said Garrett.

“Very good, follow me.” Jiang Chen nodded and headed to the cabin.

The room was originally a cafeteria but it was now changed to a temporary command center. The heavily armed soldiers formed a circle and waited quietly for Jiang Chen’s order. Several tables were combined together. Jiang Chen spread a map on the table and then used a marker to draw two lines and a circle.

“Four soldiers were executed by the pirates. The dark hand behind all of this is Arrow and we were also attacked by them in Antarctica. Now let’s settle everything together. Diplomatic issue aside, blood debt must be paid by blood. You understand what I mean.”

The soldiers did not speak, but Jiang Chen could feel the high morale.

Revenge for their dead comrades.

For revenge!

“… The plan is very simple. Team A will be led by me and be disguised as pirates. We’ll go to Mayotte Port west of Madagascar and deliver the desalination platform. Team B will be led by Garrett and depart for Mayotte in helicopter prior to deployment in the northern part of the island. Then you’ll travel on foot around the coast to the exchange site. Attack from both sides and wipe them completely out!”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the pilots objected.

“Our helicopters are running out of oil. If we return to the frigate now, I am afraid it will be too late.”

After a long journey, the petrol on the helicopter was just enough to return to the frigate. There was insuffient fuel to carry out the mission.

“There is petrol in the ship’s warehouse. After the battle meeting is over, go refuel.”

“The cargo ship uses diesel. The Black Hawk needs No. 3 jet fuel,” the pilot educated Jiang Chen .

“I’m talking about No. 3 jet fuel. I’ve carried the supplies in the underwater submersible I brought. I’ve put it in the warehouse on the left side of the stern. Open the door and you will see,” Jiang Chen explained.

The pilot nodded in surprise.

Jiang Chen threw the marker on the map and glanced at the twelve fighters and four pilots present.

“Action code: Trojan Horse. Raise any questions you have, if not say so.”

With Garrett as the leader, the soldiers stood upright and uniformly roared.

“No problem!”

Jiang Chen slammed on the map and then waved his hand.

“Then let’s get moving!”

A powerful and coherent answer responded to him along with crashing footsteps.

“Yes! Sir!”
