Mercenaries, I Will Be King
Chapter 551 - 495: The Queen's Frustration
The time had reached midnight.
Inside the Chevrolet van, Jiang Feng stretched out and yawned.
"Old squad leader, how long do we have to wait?"
"It's only been three hours, and you're already impatient?" Song Heping looked at him disdainfully. "Haven't you ever learned how to do a stakeout?"
Jiang Feng said, "At least a stakeout is in the wild, I've never tried staying in a car."
He stretched his legs, clearly a bit bored, and then lowered the backrest of his seat.
"I'll rest my eyes for a bit. Wake me up if anything happens."
Song Heping let him be.
Inside the bar, Barrett and White Bear had made no progress.
They followed Opalini to the bathroom once after ten o'clock, and then again at eleven-thirty.
But both times, they didn't find an opportunity to make their move.
Time was running out.
Were they going to wait until Opalini left the bar to make a move?
The man had a few underlings with him. It wasn't that they couldn't take them out, but the sudden disappearance of so many people would probably arouse the suspicions of the Balrot side.
That was not the only problem they were facing.
The reason they had found this lead on Opalini was that Barrett had taken a huge risk to use his Mexican contacts.
Barrett was supposed to have died in Mexico six years ago, so when he showed up, his informant almost peed his pants, thinking he had seen a ghost.
Opalini was one of the key forces in Balrot's smuggling group and the most capable aide of Brody, Balrot's right-hand man.
Over the years, Brody had always been at the forefront, with Balrot never showing his face, and all the business operations were basically led by Brody.
Thus, finding Opalini could very likely lead to information about the smuggling route from his mouth.
Only then could they prevent Brody from changing the delivery location at the last minute. Otherwise, Song Heping had always felt that they were on the defensive, and if the delivery was successful, not only would they lose the chance to take out Balrot, but they would also lose twenty million US dollars.
Unless they decided to eliminate everyone involved in the delivery.
If things came to that, it wouldn't just be a failed plan; the CIA wouldn't let them off the hook either.
"Barrett, what's the situation on your end?"
"No chance yet. Looks like we'll have to wait until they leave the bar to make a move."
"These guys have too many people; if they all disappear together, it might draw attention."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it here. It's not feasible to make a move."
Jiang Feng, who had been quietly listening for a while, suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we... use a seduction trick?"
As he finished speaking, he glanced at the Queen inside the van.
Although the Queen didn't understand Chinese, she could tell there was something odd from Jiang Feng's expression.
She looked at Jiang Feng warily.
Then Song Heping actually brightened up.
"Queen, how about you sacrifice your charms?"
The Queen's head shook rapidly, "No way! Suka! I'm not showing off my charm."
Song Heping said, "It's not like you have to really get involved with him, just lure him out of the bar to a corner or a parking lot or something. It won't take more than a minute to deal with it."
The Queen still shook her head, "Boss, you go if you want! I'm not going!"
Song Heping said, "I'd go if I could, but he doesn't like men!"
Jiang Feng tried to persuade her, "Queen, if it wasn't a last resort, do you think my old squad leader would beg you like this? When has my old squad leader ever hesitated when he could get the job done? It's just not possible this time!"
Song Heping gave him a glare. "Jiang Feng, who are you saying can't get the job done?"
Jiang Feng quickly explained, "I'm not saying you're not up to it in that regard, I just mean you can't do it in this situation."
The Queen suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "Stop arguing, I'll go."
Then she stripped off her jacket to reveal a tank top underneath, pulled off her headband, and shook her hair loose.
Song Heping gave a thumbs up, "Queen, I think you're up to the task!"
The Queen said, "Boss, just this once, okay? Next time, recruit a female agent for this sort of dirty work. I'm only doing this once!"
"Alright, alright!"
Song Heping suddenly felt that the Queen made a lot of sense.
Their organization was too male-dominated.
They really needed more women.
The Queen got out of the car, swaying her shapely behind as she walked into the bar and quickly disappeared inside.
Just as she entered, White Bear's voice shouted through the channel, "Why is my wife in there?! What the hell?!"
Song Heping said, "Since you guys couldn't find a chance, I could only let the Queen give it a try. Keep an eye out later, and as soon as Opalini leaves the bar with the Queen, you guys follow immediately."
"I'll twist his damn head off!"
Even across the radio signal, White Bear's irritation was palpable.
Inside the bar, the Queen quickly found her spot at the counter.
The bartender, seeing the curvaceous Queen, couldn't help but take a few extra glances at her.
The Queen's Spanish was not great.
But her English was good.
After a little chat, the Queen ordered a cocktail.
The bartender thought he was serving a Russian beauty coming to Mexico to enjoy the sunny beaches, completely unaware that she was actually a bona fide femme fatale.
While sipping her drink, the Queen surveyed her surroundings.
Soon, she locked her gaze onto Opalini in the corner and started throwing flirtatious glances his way.
In places like this, bar-flings were common.
Opalini quickly noticed the Queen at the bar sending him electric looks.
However, he furrowed his brow and continued to drink.
"FUCK!"
Barrett was shocked to see that his seductive glances were having no effect on Opalini.
"What the hell! The cat doesn't like fish anymore?!"
He muttered to himself while the White Bear sitting opposite him was even more annoyed.
He felt like Opalini was slapping him in the face.
After all, the Queen was his wife, his choice.
In his eyes, she was the most beautiful woman.
The fact that Opalini wouldn't even give her a second glance felt like a personal insult to his taste in women!
Before, it was the Queen's role as the seductress that irritated him, but now, Opalini's complete disregard for her advances made him even angrier than before.
"This guy! Couldn't he be... gay?! Suka!"
He cursed under his breath viciously and downed the whiskey in his cup.
"He's getting up, looks like he's going to the restroom."
Barrett suddenly alerted White Bear.
"This chance is rare, you have to take it! Go, same old plan, I'll keep watch, you do the job."
The two followed Opalini towards the restroom.
The Queen watched the three men with a stunned look on her face, suddenly feeling invisible, and angrily gulped down her cocktail.
Barrett continued to keep watch at the entrance of the corridor, while inside, White Bear's chest was ablaze with fire. He thought to himself that this time he wouldn't hesitate anymore, he would knock that guy out and shove him out the window, and if someone else was there, he'd take out the onlooker first.
He was confident in his own strength.
Upon entering the restroom, White Bear glanced at the urinals.
But Opalini was nowhere to be seen.
"Suka..."
His gaze shifted to the individual stalls.
Just then, the door to the restroom slammed shut behind him.
He spun around, Opalini had somehow gotten behind him without his noticing.
White Bear broke into a cold sweat and immediately reached for his waist.
"Hey!" Before White Bear could get to his gun, Opalini had already spoken, "You've been following me, are you interested in me or something?"
The cold sweat stopped, but White Bear's skin crawled all over.
This damn—
What the hell was happening?!
As he was still in shock, Opalini had already approached him, his moon-cratered face full of disgusting flirtation.
"Third time now, third time tonight, you've followed me into the restroom..."
He prodded forward, poking White Bear's solid chest.
"How about we find a place and have some excitement?"
