The FBA and the CIB were in a complete meltdown . No one knew how those fully armored fighters appeared, how they crossed the borders, nor how they cleared custom . Not to mention, how they transported the heavy firepowers to Los Santos .
Fifteen minutes passed since those terrorists entered the embassy and SWAT reinforcement finally arrived to surround the embassy with armored vehicles . The Los Santos Police Department never faced such an embarrassing defeat . The founder of the modern SWAT team, the LSPD SWAT team, was terrorized by the firepower of the terrorists .
After the terrorists secured the embassy, they mounted light machine guns at the windows and used the hostages at hand to threaten the special forces from approaching . These people neither submitted their requests nor expressed their intention to negotiate .
For a while the situation was in a stalemate .
Under the influence of the Internet, the impact of the attack spread across the country and around the globe through social media platforms .
The countless cameras and phones made Lawrence sweat profusely .
Two hundred meters away, his partner Brad was lying next to the car in front of the embassy . Although his brain was shattered by a sniper bullet, he could still recognize that the body belonged to his partner Brad .
He still could not imagine that after just stepping away for a few moments, a horrific incident unfolded .
[Terrorists sat in a truck and drove onto Venice Street openly . Did the CIB all become blind that they didn’t see that modified vehicle hidden inside the underground parking lot?]
At this time, Sheriff Michael William of the Los Santos Police Department got out of the car and came over to him .
“We can’t wait any longer, we should rush in immediately to save the hostages! The reporters are watching . The longer we delay this, the worse the situation will be for us . If the Army is not going to be here, get the SWAT team to do it—”
“Twenty embassy staff members, as well as Jiang Chen and his CEO . Even the Capitol doesn’t dare to take the risk with the hostages on their hands, do you understand what I mean Sheriff William?” Lawrence said with a stern look

“So we are just going to wait?” Michael looked to the embassy with disdain on his face .
“That’s all we can do . ” Lawrence looked towards the embassy . Even from his position, he could only see a rough outline .
Just then, the phone rang .
Lawrence glanced at Sheriff William, and finally, William took the call .
Unsurprisingly, it was from the Capitol, and it was a call from the president . As soon as the phone was connected, she asked immediately .
“How is the situation over there?”
“It’s awful, we must plan for the worst—”
“Mr . William . ” Hill interrupted him .
“Yes…?”
“I don’t care what method you use, I only care about one thing . Jiang Chen must be alive . Do you understand?”
Sheriff William held his breath . His throat moved, but no words could come out . It took him a while before he could articulate to the president .

“I understand . ”
After hanging up, Hill rubbed her sore eyes and immediately phoned the Xin Presidential Palace at the far away Coro Island . With an incident of this scale, it was impossible to hide it . Being proactive would show more sincerity than waiting for the other party to call .
Even now, the UA side was still unaware that their most feared bargaining chip was now in the building .
Cham Rothschild also did not expect this . He searched through all possible hiding spots inside the embassy and still did not found Jiang Chen’s whereabouts . So the only possibility was that Jiang Chen deceived the FBA and did not stay in the embassy, instead, he sneaked elsewhere .
With optical illusion for cover, it should not be difficult to escape under the watch of the FBA .
Jiang Chen was absent . From this point of view, this operation already failed .
But luckily, Xia Shiyu was there, and they could use their backup plan .
According to Freemasonry intelligence, this woman named Xia Shiyu was not only the CEO of Future Group but also the lover of Future Group’s owner . However, Cham was uncertain whether or not she could be used as a bargaining chip to lure Jiang Chen out since there were many women that have relationships beyond friendship with Jiang Chen .
As for the title of CEO of the group, he didn’t think it would be useful . After all, for a behemoth like Future Group, they could get as many senior wage earners as they wish .
He was betting that Jiang Chen would go retrieve the phone and not go to the UA government and demand the immediate elimination of the terrorists in the embassy .
“The identity of the other party has been ascertained . Cham Rothschild is a member of the Rothschild family . He went missing with a total of 16 mercenaries led by him when he participated in a European mountaineering club event in 2009 . He was previously a member of the Poison Arrow Special Forces…”

In the desert between Nevada and Cali, Jiang Chen was sitting in the cockpit of the Auror20 . He was testing the aircraft’s instruments while listening to the report of the Ghost Agent deployed in Los Santos .
“Got it . ”
“Is there anything else?” Penny asked .
“Go to a place for me . Someone might be waiting for me, so keep an eye on him . However, don’t make a move . ” Jiang Chen reached out and clicked on the watch, and sent the coordinates that Cham had given him to Penny .
After receiving the coordinates, Penny bit her lip and was hesitant to speak .
“What’s the problem?” Jiang Chen asked .
“No, nothing…” Although she did not have the right to ask, she asked after a moment of hesitation, “…are, are you planning on giving up the people in the embassy?”
Her best friend and closest comrade-in-arms were in the embassy at the moment . If it were not for her superior’s order, she would be already trying to rescue her .
“Did I say that?” After checking the weapon system, Jiang Chen said expressionlessly .
“Sorry . ”
“It’s okay, go to the coordinates now . ”
Jiang Chen closed the communication channel, took a deep breath, and put his hand on the center stick .
Fifteen minutes ago, he slipped out of Area 51, rolled to across a sand dune with his quested speed, and reached the desert two kilometers away from the military base . Then, he returned to the apocalypse .
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen returned to the desert, and along with him, was a fully-loaded Auror20 .
“In my opinion, you only have two hours of virtual flight time, and I’m afraid it’s not a good idea to directly operate the real machine . ” Jean’s emotionless voice fluctuated in Jiang Chen’s ears but did not change his decision .
“I know . ” After confirming that no steps were missed, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes . “Even for a talented pilot, one has to train for at least half a year . ”
“This is my opinion,” Jean said .
“But it doesn’t apply to me . ” When Jiang Chen said this as he opened his eyes .
His dark pupils were covered by a layer of crimson red .
In his field of vision, the previously strange instrument became familiar in his head .
Hidden genetic code – Peerless!
“It’s been a long time . ” Muttering to himself, Jiang Chen pushed the throttle forward with his left hand, and skillfully adjusted the engine direction with his right hand .
Dust was blown away by the jet propulsion, and under the effect of the lift, the Auror20 bounced 20 meters vertically . After a short pause, the engine adjusted its direction and propelled forward . Like a stream of light, the Auror20 disappeared into the night sky…
