Steel steam and flame

"It is very difficult for the association to be destroyed. It is possible to completely shrink its power for a period of time due to certain things." Cassia added, stood up, untied the captain's rope, and sat back on the sofa, "Before you explain, , I want to know your future plans. You can take it as a guarantee to me, because you will stay here in San Vicho for a long time, and you don’t want to be caught by your family and implicate me because of your carelessness. "

The captain twisted his neck and stretched his body, feeling much better.

"The family will definitely not be able to go back. There are no resources that I want in this small country. And as you said, sir, the environment has a great impact, and I cannot consciously eradicate the impact of the environment. Because of my own surgery, Although I have the idea of ​​​​going to the other two giant countries, after thinking for a long time, I concluded that the Far Sea Commonwealth is more suitable for me. After all, the purpose of doing these things is for myself." The captain has no intention of hiding anything so far, he does not want to Make fun of yourself with your own life. He knew very well that his life was nothing in the eyes of the other party. "I will still go back, but before that I will stay in another small country for a few months to a year. After I go back, I will choose another region. The influence of my family will be I know its scope very well, and how to avoid it is not a problem.”

Cassia nodded, "Do you need something to drink? I don't think I can finish the rest in a short time."

"Thank you, sir." The captain replied politely. When he saw Cassia pouring a glass of hot water and drinking it, he went to the cupboard in the living room and poured a glass of wine. "Sir, let me give you a rough idea first. The first is The funds that the association can still mobilize will be in the form of anonymous bank cards, but there are a lot of banks involved. Please forgive me for this, because of the customer relationship, it has to be so troublesome."

"The total funds are about 2 billion, the currency of the Far Sea Commonwealth." The smiling captain drank half a glass of wine, his face a little rosy, "The other thing is the information issue that you are concerned about, sir. I can get it within two or three days. I will transfer all the information collected by the association over the years to you in the form of storage cards. Although I don’t know if it is useful to you, sir, it involves many relationships in more than a dozen countries. Because the customer has In addition to some businessmen, there are also many people from the upper class, nobles, officials, etc. Through this information, it may be helpful to you, sir, in the future."

"That's the best." Cassia said, he needed this information. After analysis, it can indeed help you avoid risks during expansion and better find potential customers.

"As for the supporting team, I will try my best to help you, sir." The captain continued, "If you ask, you may get some clues."

"If you know the route, or the drop-off point in San Vicho, etc., the number of people and strength distribution will not be so important." Cassia said with gratitude, "You know in your heart that their disappearance is not just It’s good for me, and it will also be good news for you, captain.”

The conversation alone lasted until three in the morning. When Cassia went to sit and rest on the second floor of the villa, there were several handwritten lists in his trouser pockets, which were the corresponding things the captain had promised himself. The association has been established for a long time, although every year a lot of money, goods and resources are turned over to the family. However, the captain also had other thoughts from very early on, and started making preparations from then on, but he just suffered from the fact that he was not given the opportunity to take the final step.

In addition to money and information, Cassia later explained to the captain that the things in the basement of the villa needed to be taken away, and asked him if he needed them, he could take some out before noon tomorrow. I don’t know if the captain kept these things for himself and just put them in their own places, or if the captain was afraid that Cassia was testing him. In short, he didn't touch anything in the villa anymore, except for some wine.

As for the remaining fourteen people, the captain himself came to Cassia and said that he hoped to leave it to him to handle. After thinking about it, Cassia agreed.

Cassia didn't know the specific process. In the sound wave pulse, she only saw the captain driving an extended limousine from the parking garage of the villa residential area and transporting the fourteen people away. Finally, about four thousand meters away from the villa area, the limousine stopped. The captain removed the fourteen people from the car one by one and threw them into the underground waterway. By eight o'clock in the morning, Cassia was still scanning the location from time to time, and no one among the fourteen people woke up.

Probably dead, Cassia thought. After writing down the location, he contacted Brod and told him to come here and go there to see the actual situation.

The captain, as usual, drove a limo to the association headquarters alone. The transfer of funds and the acquisition of support team information need to be carried out at the headquarters, and Cassia is not worried that the captain will make other actions. Because the captain left at half past nine, a few minutes earlier than this time, Broad's communication told Cassia that he saw fourteen corpses dumped at the mentioned location.

At noon, four decoration vehicles drove into the villa area and stopped in front of a villa. Cassia launched a sound wave pulse on the second floor and paid attention to the surrounding movements. Below, Brod and Xiwei acted as porters, emptying out the entire basement in an orderly manner. Except for a little remote-controlled bomb.

"I've looked at the car, and through the seller's introduction, I have the contact information of two businesses that can provide modification services. There is still a spot at my residence that I haven't had time to go to, but it doesn't make much difference whether I want to go or not. That one is supposed to be a substitute. Options, the conditions of the first option are very good, whether it is later renovation or early residence, they absolutely meet the requirements." He left here at three o'clock in the afternoon, and before returning, Brod told Cassia what they had done in a day and a half to explore.

"I estimate that I will stay here for some time." Cassia stood at the door and took out a bank card to Brod. "Determine the residence first. The money in it will be enough for use. Then we will meet at the new residence. .”

After Broder and the others left, Cassia sat back on the sofa in the living room of the villa and continued reading. There were many similar books in the room of the member who was reading Anecdote, and Cassia relied on them to pass the time when she was alone in the villa.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the captain returned with good news and brought several bank cards to Cassia. However, the amount is less than 800 million, and the rest requires some procedures and processes and some time to process.

"Twenty people, twelve of them are from the family's private army, and the remaining eight are bounty hunters hired in the country. They are not all combat units. In addition to a communications expert, there are two people who came over. Designed to handle the internal affairs of the association. These two people are from the family and are originally members of the management. However, each has three stages of strength. I tried to ask if there was an adult leading the team, but I was told very harshly. A meal." The captain smiled and opened a bottle of wine for himself. It can be seen that the captain is not only happy, but also very relaxed. Cassia's feeling has also completely changed, as if he has broken free from some bondage and been given a new life.

"Do you think those adults are free? They have to be alarmed by the association's affairs. This is not something that can be dismissed with just 'dereliction of duty.'" The captain imitated the other party's tone during the communication, "After this matter is over, I You can go back.”

"Go back? Isn't this what you've been looking forward to?" Cassia sat on the sofa, her eyes never leaving the book in her hand.

"The family is in need of a batch of fresh blood recently. Something like this happened to the association, and we need to make a special trip here. You have to know that the upper management is very dissatisfied with this matter, saying that after the association stabilizes, there must be a reasonable "Explanation." The captain continued, "There is also such a sentence at the end. It must be just as an "explanation" when I go back. I don't know if they want to intimidate me or what they want. For ten years, all the conversations during the period were through communication Didn't they think of something else after the vessel was completed? But I didn't notice anything at all. Although I contacted them and said that I was preparing the necessary accommodation, it seemed that I was asking them to find out the family's attitude. It told me a lot of useful information. information."

He didn't feel uncomfortable or disappointed because of these words. The captain knew that his image in the eyes of those people remained the same as when he left ten years ago. He was so happy that he even hummed a song with a tone that Cassia couldn't understand while drinking.

Happy to observe this phenomenon, according to the book, this may be a spiritual transformation, in the case of the captain, Cassia believes. Sometimes the changes are slow and subtle, and you only notice them suddenly when you look back. Sometimes, captain is an example.

"The residence was prepared the day after we learned that the family would have a support team coming. Not far from here is another villa residential area." The captain sat opposite Cassia, "Want to take a look, sir? .”

Closing the book, Cassia breathed out, "At noon today, I had people move everything out of the basement."

"Yeah." The captain responded, not understanding the meaning of this sentence, "Just move away. This situation is more in line with the plan's expectations - the remaining teams and support teams are all wiped out, and the resources are looted."

"But there are still some left, those remote-controlled bombs." Cassia continued, "I think these are good things. They are best used as welcome gifts. The fire they emit is bright enough."

The next night, Cassia left the captain's villa with a total of seventeen bank cards and a lot of information - a lot of paper and a dozen storage cards. It was around ten o'clock when we arrived at the residence on the other side of North Tusi Fort. Brod and Xiwei were both there, doing renovation work, laying moisture-proof mats in the small basement of the residence to store the piles of garbage. That pile of weapons and equipment in the living room.

Cassia asked them to do their work first, found a quiet room in the spacious residence, lay on the bed, took out the communicator, and told Hessler their location.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Hessler brought six people to the residence and met Cassia. With Wells as the area manager here, many things seem much easier and simpler. The eleven people were familiar with each other in the living room, and Cassia and Hessler went to a quiet place at this time.

"There will be an action related to the association in three days." Cassia spread out the map, with the route and location marked on it, and detailed notes added, "You take a look first."

A few minutes later, Hessler, who simulated the rough process in his head, put away the map and looked at Cassia, "Has the association headquarters been cleared by you?"

Cassia pointed to the information piled up in the corner of the room, and he took out the stack of bank cards. "Not counting the cleanup, the team staying here took care of it internally. Two billion funds, and many, many benefits, I think It should be enough. As for the association headquarters and the future direction of the association, we will think about it carefully after this operation is over."

"Since the bomb has been placed in the residence, I think the only thing that can be done now is to increase the number of explosives." Hessler said, but his tone did not agree with Cassia's plan, "There is no need to bring other people along." , the two of us are completely enough. It’s not that I’m not worried about them, it’s just that some things really need time to transition. Let them have a good rest in the recent period.”

"Just do as you say." Cassia shrugged without refuting. He originally planned to pull Broad and others nearby, and after the explosion, if anyone escaped, he would use heavy firepower to form a firepower net to help catch those who slipped through the net.

"What about the other thing?" Cassia then asked, there were other things on the map just now.

"I think it's best to let Wells know about this. He is the district manager and has also done recruitment work. He has both experience and methods. You want to use the people from the family behind the association as advertising content. Suppressing the association's influence in more than a dozen countries, thereby increasing its popularity and prompting some people to come to join. It is definitely a good way. The development of power has to go this way. It is the right path to continue to attract people. People with strong abilities and strength, even if they cannot become loyal core members, can make a lot of resistance disappear naturally by taking resources and doing things within their abilities."

Hessler himself had roughly the same blueprint in mind, "But in terms of time, isn't it a little early? Are you just too eager?"

Looking at Cassia, Hessler asked, expressing his worries, "In other words, this time's actions and propaganda are a bit too deep. You must know that the effect of advertising is indiscriminate, and for some people it is a path , is a reference. But for some people, it is a clue. How about reducing the impact to a lower level? This will be more secure and not attract everyone’s attention at once. Because with the current composition of our personnel, plus There are only thirteen of us. When it comes to the real collision between forces, if you, the leader, can be separated and run around, then there will be no problem at all. But if you can't, you have to think again."

"I think it will take time and training for these recruited mercenaries and bounty hunters to develop the expected combat effectiveness."

"There are already signs of activation. It's a little late to get here." Li Suman looked at the skeletal fossils coiled in front of her. It was only the size of an eye socket and could fit her entire body into it. The sense of oppression emanating from the fossilized bones was everywhere, but Li Suman had long been used to it, and she was used to seeing these fossils. Furthermore, except for a very small number of historians and archaeologists, the people who are qualified to come this time will not be afraid or feel uncomfortable.

"Is it because it is too close to the original test explosion site?" Another voice next to him guessed.
