Very soon, Porter, who was extremely angry deep inside, took his men away with him as they drove directly to Eastcliff.On the way, Porter received a video sent by Zayne from Syria.This was the footage taken by the scout from the Syrian side near Hamed’s west wing position. When Porter saw the soldiers under his command and even his five-star War General getting stripped of their clothes before being thrown into the valley like dead dogs, Porter was so furious that his lungs were about to explode out of anger!He had a gloomy expression as he said angrily, “Pass on my command to Zayne Carter! Make sure that he annihilates Hamed and his opposition completely! Do not leave anyone alive! At that time, I want to use their corpses to pay tribute to our dead brothers!”The messenger beside him immediately said, “Yes, Lord! I’ll convey your command over to the Green-Eyed Wolf King now!”Porter narrowed his eyes, and he kept using his finger to touch an old gold ring on his left middle
As soon as the call was connected, Hamed reported to Charlie excitedly, “Brother Wade, the enemy has retreated! I fought and won an unprecedented battle in history! This is all thanks to you!”As he spoke, Hamed then gave a detailed report on the specific situation of the war.Charlie was relieved when he heard this, but he was also a little surprised at the same time. He really would not have expected that the well-trained Ten Thousand Armies would actually suffer such a huge loss in Hamed’s hands.Therefore, the first thing that came to Charlie’s mind was that Ten Thousand Armies would definitely launch a revenge operation against Hamed after suffering such a big loss. So, Charlie hurriedly reminded, “Brother, you have really fought and won a beautiful battle, but the hidden danger is also really not that small now. Ten Thousand Armies has suffered such heavy losses in your hands, and they will definitely do everything possible to make you pay for it.”Hamed sneered and said, “
As soon as Hamed heard that Charlie had a way, he was immediately very excited, and he asked, “Brother, what good idea do you have? Hurry up and teach it to me!”Charlie spoke up and asked him, “I recall that you said that you had purchased a batch of thermal imaging cameras?”“Yes!” Hamed hurriedly said, “I spent a lot of money to buy a batch of thermal imaging cameras made in Russia. All of them are military-grade, and one unit can already be exchanged for a Mercedes-Benz. If it weren’t because you helped me settle the funds, I would definitely have never been able to afford to use this thing.”Charlie then said, “That’s good. Now that you are actively engaging in civil engineering, construction, and infrastructure development, you should also have a special blasting team, right?”“Yes, yes.” Hamed said, “I generally rely on blasting to open up the mountain and dig the tunnels here. We would usually drill holes into the rocks first before burying the explosives inside the rocks.
Since everyone already knew that Hamed had fortifications on the front and west wing, no one could be certain whether there would be any hidden fortifications on the east or north wings.This way, the tactic of sneaking in quietly from outside was completely blocked.This was because if they were to secretly sneak in without figuring out the enemy’s fortifications, they would most likely end up being covered by the enemy’s hidden firing points. Regardless of how strong their soldiers were, they were all still made out of flesh and blood. So, how could they possibly beat their opponents, who would be hidden within the steel and concrete fortifications?So, this plan was quickly pushed aside. Since they would not be able to sneak in, the only remaining plan would be an airborne attack.There was a huge advantage to an airborne attack, and that would be the fact that they would be able to bypass the opponent’s line of defense before landing directly into the opponent’s base. If
After nightfall, the military airport in Damascus was extraordinarily busy.The few transport planes in Syria were all transferred in order to drop one thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies into Hamed’s base. In addition, two cargo plans were also urgently called in from civil aviation.A total of six planes were responsible for the flight tonight. Zayne also selected the strongest one thousand elites from amongst the eight thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, and he also made sure that they were all fully armed and prepared for the airborne attack early in the morning.In order to be able to defeat and kill the enemy in one go, Zayne also equipped these one thousand men with all of the high-end equipment. This included a complete set of the best individual weapon for each person, the best bulletproof vest, a lightweight bulletproof helmet, as well as a set of head-mounted night vision equipment, and multiple thermal imaging cameras.This kind of high-end standard equ
It was expected that they would be able to arrive at the scheduled location in forty minutes due to the mobility of the entire crew.Meanwhile, Hamed’s base was bustling with activity.More than one hundred and forty explosion points that had already been buried in advance were all controlled by fourteen blasters and engineers.The detonators in front of each of them had also been marked with the location and the number of the detonating points. At the same time, they were also holding a walkie-talkie using a special channel in their hands.As soon as the enemy appeared, and as soon as the soldiers in charge of the reconnaissance had determined the enemy’s location, they would then be informed of the detonation points that would need to be detonated through this channel on the walkie-talkie.At this time, the person responsible for the detonation would need to find the detonating point within his control, and he would then detonate the designated detonation points immediately.Th
As the first five hundred men landed near the ridgeline of the top of the south wing of the mountain, another group of five hundred men also jumped off the aircraft as they began to drift toward the top of the north wing of the mountain.Since the paratroopers were affected by the wind, wind direction, and their personal control ability, it was very difficult for them to be able to jump and land in the same area at the same time. So, they could only land near the target before they moved together in all directions toward the target area.Generally speaking, in order to prevent their parachutes from getting entangled with each other, the paratroopers would maintain a safe distance from their own comrades. Therefore, when they landed, a deviation of several hundred meters or even up to a thousand meters was still normal.This was especially so when parachuting at night. It would not be surprising even if they were to have deviated from the target location by several kilometers. Ther
At the same time, as soon as the defensive force on the front collapsed, thousands of government soldiers would immediately rush up. At that time, Hamed’s troops would have nowhere to escape. The commanding officer of the first echelon spoke through the intercom system of Ten Thousand Armies, “My team is already ready for battle. I would like the second echelon to confirm their current assembly situation.”The voice of the commanding officer of the second echelon sounded on the intercom system, “Our team has basically finished assembling, and we are currently confirming our equipment before the war.”The commanding officer of the first echelon immediately spoke up, “My team is requesting to launch an attack. I’m asking Commander Carter for approval to do so!”Zayne replied with great enthusiasm, “Approved! Attack immediately! I want you to get rid of all of their soldiers on the front within ten minutes! Avenge our dead brothers!”“Yes!” The commanding officer of the first echelo
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I
As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.
Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole
Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could
The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
