Volume 10 – Chapter 29: Stray Fishes To Be Caught
Municipal Theater, side street, modified vehicle command center.
“Minister, the trojan has successfully entered the concert hall. We’re checking the number, identity, and hidden location of the thugs.” The technician quickly reported.
Naturally, the minister couldn’t be idle either. It had now become a race against time. They had to rescue the hostages before the thugs went into a frenzy and harmed the hostages.
Not to mention that the hostages were either rich or influential; even if the hostages were ordinary people, it would bring great turmoil to the government. It would be like the terrorist attack that happened in the greatest country more than ten years ago. But to divert domestic public opinion, they even launched wars against other countries.
But they couldn’t help it! Roger was a felon in this country. His name had always been on the wanted list!
However, if a government compromised with these thugs, it was undoubtedly a disaster for the current government! Their fading political credibility would drop much more significantly!
“I hope this Trojan horse can help us resolve this crisis…” The Minister of Security rubbed his forehead.
Among the four prisoners sent in, they persuaded one of them to mix in as a spy and cooperate with the rescue operation of the police.
Would that guy be obedient and choose to cooperate with the government?
Hope so…
The Minister sighed and cast his eyes on the screen in front of the podium again, watching the situation in the concert hall.
…
Bucky thought that his judgment was flawless.
Although he and Batu had only two people on their side with opponents encompassing six people, Batu was fully armed, and he had at least a dagger in his hand.
What about the opponent?
Two women in evening gowns, a lousy old man, and the other three men were defenseless! This was simply how it felt when the proficient jungler (typically in MOBA games) met a rookie!
So Bucky was confident with his judgment!
But how could this happen?
Why was Batu’s weapon already in the opponent’s hand? Why was he pressed to the ground by this woman in a red evening gown?
I’m the Legendary Villain!
“Bucky Barton Balkas, I recognize you.”
Song Haoran looked at this opponent with interest at this time, “‘The former senior cadre of Capital’s Military Command Center. You’re rumored to be incapable but have great luck. You’re the lucky mascot. You usually complete the mission out of sheer luck without knowing what you did. But in fact, some people say that you are an unfathomable man. Is that true?”
Bucky opened his mouth and glanced at Batu suddenly. At this moment, he found that Batu had been knocked down on the ground, apparently in a coma.
“You… Who are you?”
At this point, Lluvia had let go of Bucky but took a pistol from O’Neill’s and pressed it behind Bucky’s back. He had to raise his hands, indicating that he didn’t intend to resist.
“In this situation, of course, we are your enemies.” Song Haoran smiled slightly, “In addition, I’m more baffled that aren’t you supposed to be in prison? When did you escape from prison?”
Song Haoran was baffled that when he used ‘Sun God Emblem’ not long ago, he didn’t detect Bucky at all. Did new changes happen recently?
Song Haoran couldn’t activate the ‘Sun God Emblem’s’ perception skill all the time. It seemed that there was still a shortcoming in this gift.
“I didn’t escape from prison…”
Bucky swallowed his saliva. He found that he would often encounter events of having a gun pointed at his back. So, he knew very well what he would need to do if he wanted to protect his life. He had to cooperate with them as much as possible.
But…
How can these guys take down Batu and me empty-handed? This is not real.
“Oh? Is that one of Roger’s conditions to the government?” Song Haoran nodded, keenly capturing a trace of Roger’s thoughts, “Who else besides you?”
Bucky had no choice but to report to what he knew directly. He was surprised by Song Haoran’s keen intuition. Is this guy using a game cheat?
Song Haoran muttered in his heart. As the mercenary group active in the dark world of South America, ‘Iris’ has done a lot of business. Starting from father, the Iris leader, it has been a long journey. In the past, ‘Iris’ has cooperated with ‘Capital’s Military Command Center before.
These guys that Roger got out of prison this time are all influential.
Although they were arrested and imprisoned, they secretly controlled a lot of assets. Although ‘UPP’ has suppressed many slums, it does not mean that the previous forces of this country have disappeared so quickly.
They just hibernate, waiting for the day they return.
Song Haoran suddenly said at this time, “It will be a disaster to let you flee. This is undoubtedly a misstep for our government. To satisfy the public, please die here! Afterward, we can utilize the rhetoric ‘accidentally killed during a fight with the criminal.’”
Bucky suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He naturally killed many people, so he knew very well the look in the eyes of the murderer. Unfortunately, the opponent had this type of gaze!
So, why did you let me out?
Isn’t it better to stay in jail?
There is excellent food, great entertainment, and female prison guards to have fun with. When I have the time, I get to play Texas Hold’em with the warden. Also, I don’t have to worry about the enemy’s assassination! Apart from being unable to leave the prison, it is no different from a vacation!
Wait, wait!
What did he just say… Our government? Is he government personnel?
“Wait! Don’t kill me!” Bucky said hurriedly, “Don’t do it yet! I came in with a special mission this time! I… I… I am…”
“You are?” Song Haoran narrowed his eyes and then chuckled lightly, “You want to say that you have an agreement with the government to get in here and get a grasp of the situation here. Then, you would cooperate with the forces outside.”
“How do you know?” Bucky was taken aback, looking at Song Haoran in amazement. How could this guy figure out what’s in my mind?
Song Haoran narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and suddenly said, “Ah Qiang, monitor this guy, don’t let him escape.”
O’Neill nodded, walking slightly unnaturally, and then detained Bucky’s hands.
Song Haoran was checking the equipment stripped from Batu. Then, he took out the opponent’s walkie-talkie, pondering about something. Lluvia approached Song Haoran quietly, lowered her voice, and asked, “Do you believe what he said? Should we verify it?”
If Bucky were here to aid the government, he would have at least one surveillance device hidden in his body. If it couldn’t be found, the lie would be self-defeating.
“Don’t you think it’s interesting?” Song Haoran narrowed his eyes.
Lluvia stunned, ” interesting?”
Song Haoran said calmly, “Roger’s true intentions.”
Lluvia frowned and said, “However, there are a lot of explosives hidden here. After all, it is too dangerous. I promised the Father to protect your safety.”
Song Haoran commented, “Do you think Roger dared to press the detonator? Although he is a madman, he must not be so crazy that he can kill his life along with the enemy. If he still has a goal, he will cherish his life more. Therefore, before he leaves the theater safely, we are safe.”
As he said, he took another glance at Luo Qiu, who was on the side, and whispered into Lluvia’s ear, “Now all the people outside are the government’s forces. They have already surrounded this place from the outside. Although we can leave now, we are bound to be found by the police once we walk out of the theater. The three of them should be fine, but as for the three of us…”
Lluvia nodded solemnly.
Their identities were all forged. They couldn’t survive through the police’s inspection and verification. Moreover, many hostages in the concert hall were still being taken, and their group walked out safely. If the police officers in Rio had sound minds, they would be thoroughly investigated.
“We can only wait for the police to rescue, and then we mix in with the hostages and leave,” said Lluvia resignedly.
If they left before the deployment of the police arrived, they wouldn’t need to worry too much. But, they had already missed the best timing.
Lluvia glanced at Song Haoran. The military advisor communicating with the Father could have left directly before the incident, but he still stayed.
Lluvia subconsciously held Song Haoran’s hand, “These three people you bring a long are extra baggage, don’t you think we should… After all, they have seen our faces.”
Song Haoran shook his head, “They don’t know who we are; they just think we are the people sent by the government to rescue. Although we can’t leave, it should be safe for them to leave. I will find an opportunity and send them out.”
“Military advisor…” Lluvia seemed to want to say something.
Song Haoran interrupted, “Father taught that having one more friend is the same as making one less enemy. Whether it is Franky or Luo Qiu, their identities aren’t simple. They may become useful in the future. Life is like a huge river, and we are the fish inside. We will always meet each other.”
Lluvia said no more.
They moved Batu and Bucky, who were unconscious, to a pantry in the corridor. There was a lot of food here. It was initially provided for guests in VIP rooms, but it had become useful for everyone to replenish their physical strength at this moment.
Amid fear and tension, it was easy to lose physical strength and consume body calories. Song Haoran suggested that the group temporarily rest here for ten minutes.
Dr. Franky took out his cell phone at this time and waved it around, but he still couldn’t receive the signal.
Song Haoran said, “It’s useless. The thugs should have instruments that release special interference waves. Otherwise, there are so many people in the concert hall holding mobile phones. The police won’t be blind to the situation here. The signal that isn’t permitted wouldn’t be able to reach the outside world.”
Dr. Franky shook his head, grabbed a bottle of champagne sullenly, walked to the corner, and squatted down. He drank alone, perhaps to gain courage.
“Are you alright?”
Song Haorans glanced at Luo Qiu and You Ye sitting quietly in a corner. He approached Luo Qiu and asked.
“I’m fine.” Boss Luo responded briefly.
He should now be the role of a wealthy young son. It seemed that he should not be too calm. So Boss Luo then asked with concern, “Mr. Song, can we go out safely?”
Song Haoran smiled and said, “We will go to the second floor later. There are windows in the restrooms there. I checked them before. There is a pipe next to the windows. There should be no problem climbing down. There are the police outside. As long as the thugs aren’t agitated and there is no gunfight, you should be safe.”
“That’s good.” Luo Qiu nodded.
Song Haoran opened a packet of biscuits and sent them to Luo Qiu. He winked, “Don’t let your lovely partner get hungry. That isn’t gentleman-like.”
Luo Qiu smiled slightly. Song Haoran seemed to give off a sense of safety. He has excellent humor while staying confident and focused on the main goal as if he is confident that he can do everything.
Those with confidence in the heart become strong with self-trust.
“Have you ever tried a pistol?” Song Haoran took a pistol out at this time and quickly unlocked the gun’s safety lock in front of Luo Qiu.
“I have tried them in the shooting club.” Luo Qiu thought for a while and said truthfully, “But they are all domestic products.”
“They are almost the same.” Song Haoran held the pistol in front of Luo Qiu, and there were two bullet clips. “The real gun is a bit heavier. When pointing at the enemy, it’s best to raise your wrist slightly to shoot like this. With that, you tend not to shoot below the target.”
Song Haoran grabbed Luo Qiu’s wrist and asked Luo Qiu to hold the pistol. He then pointed the gun at himself, fine-tuning his posture, “Yes, just like this. Great, your hands aren’t too shaky. You have some talent in this.”
Luo Qiu suddenly asked, “Are you sure to let me hold it?”
“If we encounter an enemy and engage in a gunfight, I may not be able to take care of you.”
Song Haoran waved his hand and said, “The person who can protect ourselves best is ourselves. Please don’t have any psychological burden. They are murderers with blood on their hands. If you kill one, hell might even give you credit.”
Boss Luo ‘relaxed’ a little, smiled, and said, “I feel like you are cursing me to die.”
Song Haoran laughed loudly and said, “Sorry, I’m talking about the future. My old man believes in this kind of thing. He has listened to this kind of thing a lot since he was young. Don’t be surprised.”
“Father?” Luo Qiu raised his head slightly.
Song Haoran didn’t seem to want to say more but just brushed it through, “He is a hospitable person. But he hasn’t left the house for a long time. He has recently retired at home.”
Boss Luo didn’t continue to dig further to make things seem more natural.
At this moment, a man’s voice suddenly sounded in the pantry. Dr. Franky almost jumped up in shock. It turned out that the communicator that Batu was carrying with him sounded.
Batu led Bucky to the toilet and had not returned to the team for a long time. That aroused the thugs’ suspicion.
“Batu, Batu? Can you hear me? Reply! We found the missing people in the fourth-floor corridor. They are big fish! A political party leader, Billy! Where are you? Flank immediately! Reply!”
The intercom kept ringing.
“It’s Mr. Billy!” Dr. Franky stood up nervously and looked at Song Haoran at the same time.
