Chapter 1659: The Invisible Smoke the Enemy Cannot See
“Hoo— It’s good that there’s nothing wrong.” Xiao Huang heaved a heavy sigh, firmly stretched out his hands, and wiped the sweat off his face. But the more he wiped, the more sweat there was.
That little soldier who did not know why, asked, “Deputy Leader Huang, what’s the point of being so worried? They don’t seem to want to pick a fight.”
Deputy Leader Huang seemed a little overly worried.
Xiao Huang patted the little soldier’s face. “Go, go, go, what would a little kid know?”
Here, only Xiao Huang knew that those two people were love rivals.
Xiao Huang was hiding a secret that no one knew about. No one could possibly understand the torment he suffered.
Their Team Leader Xu might be the one stirring trouble. They would never know when he might recklessly start the war.
An invisible cloud of smoke.
“My marksmanship is really not bad!” Xu Zhenyu said in an ambiguous manner. He turned his head and glanced at the bullet scars on his arm. The assault outfit material was neither thick nor thin. He unexpectedly managed to control the gun well, with the bullets only leaving superficial scars.
“Your skills are also good. In this world, only you can seize a gun from me.”
After speaking, Si Yiyan did not go to him.
Everyone at the scene felt it, the invisible smoke between them.
Si Yiyan said faintly, “I’ve received news that our target has already contacted an armed leader in Iraq and is currently discussing cooperation matters. According to my analysis, this discussion is aimed at providing data to the armed leader, and in return, he would protect our target in Iraq.”
The target was sly and his whereabouts were uncertain. Lucifer was the greatest force in the east. If he made any large movements, the government would have punished him. That was why Lucifer was unable to launch a large-scale investigation.
Although investigating this news was not difficult, it was time-consuming.
The words of Si Yiyan allowed the people present to solemnly collect themselves.
Because this meant that this mission was about to be launched. They had arrived in the east for almost 2 months and had been underground for the past month. Everyone was beginning to become moldy.
There was no fear in anyone’s heart, only excitement, and the determination to complete the task.
Nonetheless, everyone was a little surprised. They did not expect the third party to be so well-informed and have such detailed news.
“At present, the armed leader has begun to intervene by protecting our target. Comprehensive protection would only be achieved after their discussion. Hence, we must take action quickly. Otherwise, the situation will become tricky.”
This task was very hard. Without Xu Zhenyu’s help, this mission that they wanted to complete would come with a painful price.
Everyone knew that once the local militants got involved with the mission, a mere 20 of them would not be able to compete with large armed organizations.
It did not matter the price that had to be paid, as long as the task was completed.
If new problems arose unexpectedly, it would have caused the country to be thrown into turmoil and even war.
“After the operation has officially begun, I will not participate in it. However, I can provide some convenience for you by stirring up trouble between the two parties, therefore procrastinating their negotiation as much as possible. This will give you enough time for the mission. Weapons assembly and information regarding the situation will be provided to you. After the mission has been accomplished, my men will bring you guys to safety. This is the most help I can render.”
He was the ruler of Lucifer and had withdrawn from society. He did not participate in the war between countries and did not involve himself with the internal affairs of countries. This was a law established by Lucifer from the very beginning.
For the sake of Wen Xinya, he had given in to his largest extent.
However, he wanted to not only be fully responsible for Lucifer but for the lives of all his brothers as well.
Otherwise, should Lucifer involve itself, he would have faced the destructive nature of the opponent’s attack.
Apart from being Lucifer’s leader, he was also a businessman who sought profits. He had to maintain political relations between countries and respect their political power. This ensured long-term cooperation.
He was the biggest philanthropist from the east, he definitely would not have done anything that could have triggered a war, an armed conflict, or various diplomatic crisis.
“These are already enough!” Xu Zhenyu said coldly.
For them, the 4 hardest problems for this mission were time, sufficient supplies, receiving information, and receiving aid.
Since these 4 problems were easily handled by him, they were carefree and without fear of any consequences.
This was the biggest and hardest task they had ever taken on.
However, because of Ninth Si’s help, it could be regarded as their easiest task.
“Leave the rest to us.” The foreign team leader patted Xu Zhenyu’s shoulder and thanked Si Yiyan gratefully.
Compared to the smoke-filled, hostile atmosphere between Xu Zhenyu and Ninth Si, he was obviously afraid of Ninth Si. At the beginning of the mission, his boss repeatedly reminded him that Ninth Si was not a person to offend.
After meeting this man with such a powerful radiating aura, they realized that he was not like them. He did not obey orders, nor was he an iron-willed killer.
Instead, he was a figure of authority who had complete control over his people.
“You have provided us with such comprehensive help. If we are unable to complete the task at hand, we might as well be drinking milk at home,” the leader of Country E said boldly.
This time, the task was very formidable.
Originally, it was thought that in the East they would receive little help, as they had done many things by themselves.
However, Ninth Si was unexpectedly able to provide them with such information and clues.
Si Yiyan’s gaze swept the crowd. “Then I wish you good luck and hope that you can stand here again when we next meet.”
Although their roads were different and they did not work together, Si Yiyan was a soldier who strongly believed in those convictions.
Naturally, he hoped that this task would be completed smoothly and without any casualties.
Nonetheless, everyone knew that the journey to the East would definitely result in death.
Everyone answered haphazardly.
A soldier from Country E yelled, “Before we leave, can we drink some alcohol? Damn… for the past few months, I have not had a drop of alcohol. If I keep this up, I will soon be a monk.”
After hearing his words, everyone chimed in.
Si Yiyan’s face flickered with an obscured smile. “Yes, let’s drink!”
In this country where alcohol was forbidden, it was hard to obtain alcohol. However, this was not hard for him.
“Oh yeah!”
Everyone could not help but cheer.
