"Immediately seal off the entire building and conduct a thorough investigation!"
His face turned pale with anger, and his eyes were practically spitting fire.
This time, Xu Lang's arrival in Amsterdam was met with an assassination attempt, which even reached the East Star's branch in Amsterdam, making Abu grit his teeth in hatred.
Although it seems that the opponent's target is Pablo, Abu, as the head of the Amsterdam branch, bears an undeniable responsibility for allowing his opponent to infiltrate the branch!
Soon, many of Tung Sing's henchmen sealed off the entire restaurant, and everyone, armed with guns, searched room by room, even the ceiling.
Gunshots soon rang out from outside the headquarters. The two gunmen responsible for providing backup were shot dead by Abu's henchmen before they could escape.
Barbaro and the others, who were lying under the table, heard a burst of gunfire and sounds of fighting, and were immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Just then, he felt someone tap his shoulder, and he couldn't help but shiver in fright. He looked up and saw Xu Lang smiling at him.
"Mr. Pablo, you're alright now!"
Upon hearing this, Pablo breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and glanced at the door of the private room, only to see several corpses lying there, while the waiter had his jaw dislocated and his hands bound as he sat on the ground.
James Wolverine and Rambo, the special forces king, stood at the door like two guardian deities, looking menacing and unapproachable!
If at the beginning Pablo's feelings towards Xu Lang were merely curiosity and envy, now all that remained was admiration.
I never expected that he had so many powerful men under his command!
Abu was already considered a master in Pablo's eyes, but he didn't expect that Wolverine James and Rambo were even more powerful, managing to take down several armed gunmen with their bare hands!
"Mr. Xu Lang, your men are truly remarkable; I admire them greatly!"
Pablo sighed, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead before sitting down.
His lover Virginia turned pale with fright and felt unwell, so Xu Lang immediately told her to rest in the lounge next door, leaving only a few of Pablo's trusted men in the private room.
Looking at his trusted confidant, Pablo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
These guys were all tall and strong, but when they were attacked, they didn't even have time to react.
If Xu Lang hadn't suddenly intervened, that waiter would probably have already turned him into a dead man!
Thinking of this, Pablo quickly said:
"Mr. Xu Lang, thank you so much for your help just now! If it weren't for you, I'd probably be meeting the Virgin Mary by now! You're really amazing. You managed to use that bamboo stick like a dart, and it even pierced his hand. It's incredible. Is this kung fu?"
Xu Lang smiled faintly:
"Mr. Pablo, you're too kind. Since you're here, I'm responsible for your safety!"
After saying that, he gave Abu a wink.
Abu immediately went to the subdued waiter and put his dislocated jaw back on. The waiter had already been searched, his entire body, including his teeth, was examined to make sure he had no weapons or poisons.
The waiter swallowed hard, looking at Xu Lang with some fear.
Although he knew that South American bigwigs like Pablo treated their enemies with extreme cruelty, and that tortures such as cutting off fingers and peeling skin sounded horrifying, he was even more terrified of Xu Lang at this moment. This Hong Konger was able to use a bamboo stick as a weapon and pierce his hand in an instant, ruining his assassination mission!
Xu Lang looked coldly at the waiter and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me, who instructed you?"
The service provider kept quiet and didn't say anything.
Xu Lang sneered and gave Rambo a look.
Rambo walked over to the waiter, grabbed his left rib with one hand, and suddenly tightened his grip.
Click!
The waiter's ribs were broken instantly, and he turned pale with pain, cold sweat rolling down his forehead like beads.
"This is my man, his name is Rambo. If he wants, he can break every single bone in your body with his bare hands. As far as I know, the human body has 203 bones. If you can hold out until all your bones are broken and you still don't give up, I'll almost admire you as a real man!"
The service provider looked at Xu Lang with a cold sweat on his face and fear in his eyes.
At that moment, Rambo's hand was already on his second rib.
The waiter's face changed again in fright. If his bones were broken one by one like this, even if he didn't die from the pain, he would eventually be turned into a pile of boneless mud. Such punishment was too terrifying. And the fact that Rambo could break bones with his bare hands made him even more terrified.
"I said……"
He was just a hitman who took money from others, and when he was about to die, he didn't want to suffer any longer, so he quickly confessed to Xu Lang.
It turns out that the person who hired the assassin to kill Pablo was none other than Pablo's business partner in Mexico, Piero.
Since the last meeting with Barbaro, Piero had been closely monitoring Barbaro's movements and had even spent a large sum of money to bribe one of Barbaro's bodyguards. Upon learning that Barbaro would be in Amsterdam to discuss arms deals, he immediately dispatched this team of hired assassins.
Because of his Chinese appearance, the assassin quietly entered the restaurant after Barbolo arrived at the East Star Hall. He secretly killed a waiter and then disguised himself to enter the private room, intending to assassinate Barbolo.
Upon hearing his confession, Pablo was so enraged that he gritted his teeth and said:
"That bastard Piero stabbed me in the back! He's just jealous of my business and wants to swallow it all up!"
Seeing that the assassin had finished confessing, Xu Lang waved to Rambo, who was standing to the side.
Rambo grabbed the assassin by the neck, twisted it with one hand, and a soft crack came from the assassin's neck. Rambo had broken the assassin's cervical vertebrae with one hand, and the assassin's head slumped to his chest and he fell to the ground.
Pablo glared hatefully at the assassin who had already been killed, then turned and stared at Carlos:
"Call back immediately and arrest that bodyguard that Piero bribed. I want him to be torn to pieces!"
"Also, get everyone ready. I'm going to personally lead the team to Piero's territory and skin him alive!"
Upon hearing this, Carlos immediately turned and left the private room to call Colombia and instruct his men there to carry out Pablo's orders.
Pablo shrugged apologetically at Xu Lang.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu Lang. This whole thing is my fault. I wasn't careful enough and revealed my whereabouts, causing you so much trouble!"
"Regardless of whether this transaction is completed or not, I will offer you a reward of one hundred million US dollars as a token of my gratitude and to express my apologies!"
Xu Lang smiled faintly and waved his hand:
"We'll talk about that later, but since everything's alright now, let's have a proper discussion about this batch of weapons here!"
Pablo was taken aback.
Several corpses still lay across the entrance to the private room, and blood was everywhere on the floor. Yet Xu Lang was actually discussing business with him right there. Such audacity and boldness were truly astonishing and admirable!
Chapter 155 Operation Dragon: Xu Lang to Eliminate the Mexican Gambling Cartel
Xu Lang's composure on the bloody battlefield earned him even more admiration and respect from Pablo. However, Pablo was also a seasoned veteran. Although he had just experienced a terrifying assassination attempt, he calmed himself down and sat down with Xu Lang to discuss the details of the arms deal.
Pablo's idea was that Xu Lang would provide him with at least twenty armed helicopters, twenty light tanks, and twenty howitzers, as well as shoulder-fired Hellfire anti-aircraft missile launchers and more than one hundred shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
The reason he needed so many weapons was that the Colombian military had recently had a significant impact on his business. Several shipments of his goods had been seized or destroyed, and he had suffered over a hundred casualties. If things continued like this, his business would be severely affected, and he would lose his position among the various businessmen in South America.
South America is not only wild and untamed, but also a place where all kinds of struggles are extremely brutal and cruel. The big bosses of various corporations are like lions and tigers in the jungle. Once they fall into a weak position, it's like a tiger having its claws and teeth pulled out. They may be attacked by many villains.
This assassination attempt is proof of that. Piero of Mexico was actually a business partner of Pablo, but knowing that Pablo was being targeted by the Colombian military and that he had only taken a few men to Amsterdam to buy weapons, he immediately sent a hired assassin to kill Pablo and then take over his business.
However, the weapons that Pablo wanted were not available to many countries and armed forces in the world, and ordinary arms dealers could not even dream of obtaining them.
Xu Lang pondered for a moment, realizing that even if the doctor could produce such a massive amount of weaponry, it would take some time. So he told Pablo that he could sell him the weaponry, but it had to be done in batches. The first batch would consist of five armed helicopters, five light tanks, twenty shoulder-fired Hellfire anti-aircraft missile launchers, and fifty shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles.
Pablo readily agreed on the spot, knowing that it would be difficult for these weapons to be delivered all at once, unless it was a major arms-producing country that could provide so many readily available items.
After finalizing the details, the two shook hands to sign the deal. Of course, no contract was signed. Such arms deals rely entirely on the strength and credibility of the two individuals, and no country or organization can provide any guarantee for them.
"I will transfer the first installment of five hundred million US dollars to your account tomorrow, and your first shipment should be delivered to Colombia as soon as possible."
Pablo smiled and said:
"In addition, there is one hundred million US dollars as my apology and compensation to you, Mr. Xu Lang. After all, my matter almost implicated you this time, and you even saved me!"
"After I finish these things, I'll be heading back to South America. There's still a lot of work waiting for me there, and that bastard Piero dared to ambush me while I was in Amsterdam. I'm definitely not going to let him get away with this when I get back!"
Just as Xu Lang was about to say something, a clear system notification sounded in his mind:
"Congratulations, host! The cooperation with the South American tycoon Pablo has been completed. The host will receive the reward: the 100% loyalty of one hundred SAS special forces soldiers!"
As the system notification sound faded, one hundred SAS special forces soldiers appeared in Xu Lang's system space with a flash of white light.
These hundred SAS special forces soldiers all looked burly and tough, dressed in jungle camouflage and equipped with various elite weapons. Their faces were even painted with combat camouflage, revealing only two menacing eyes.
"Please select the landing location for these one hundred SAS special forces soldiers!"
Upon seeing these one hundred SAS special forces soldiers, Xu Lang suddenly had an idea.
After a moment's thought, he said to Pablo:
“Mr. Pablo, this Mexican Piero has dared to cause trouble on my turf, which makes me very unhappy! So, this time I will send people over to cooperate with you in dealing with this guy!”
Xu Lang plans to establish his authority in Mexico!
Piero of Mexico hired assassins to kill Pablo. Although he had his own interests to pursue, he didn't really care about Xu Lang and Dongxing.
After all, with so many assassins, if they really succeed, even the people from Dongxing might be wiped out as well!
This is not only a revenge killing of Pablo, but also an offense to Dongxing and Xu Lang!
Therefore, Xu Lang plans to use the power of Dongxing to eliminate Piero, so that all the gamblers in South America, and even gamblers all over the world, can see what happens when they anger Dongxing!
At the same time, this is also a deterrent. After all, Dongxing's arms and smuggling have now spread to many places and will definitely deal with different forces. There are many cases of black-on-black fighting in the underworld. If we don't use this incident to deter people in various places, Dongxing's goods will definitely be stolen in the future!
Pablo paused slightly upon hearing Xu Lang's words, and then said:
“Mr. Xu Lang, I know very well that your men are indeed very capable! However, you should know that Piero of Mexico is a desperate man. He has an army of over a thousand men, all of whom are retired special forces soldiers whom he bought at extremely high prices. These men are extremely powerful in combat, and sometimes even the Mexican army is no match for them!”
Upon hearing Pablo's words, Xu Lang simply smiled faintly:
"It's alright, Mr. Pablo, you don't need to worry about dealing with Piero!"
“My men will go to Mexico and take care of Piero for you. They'll also show them what happens to anyone who dares to fire on my guests on Dongxing's territory!”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to special forces king Rambo:
"Rambo, this time you and Abu go together and bring back Piero's head. I want to make it into a work of art and give it to Mr. Pablo as a return gift for his one hundred million dollars!"
"yes, Sir!"
Rambo responded with a cold expression.
Xu Lang then looked at Abu:
"You made mistakes in the Amsterdam incident, so this operation in Mexico is your chance to redeem yourself! Therefore, you will lead this operation! We're not going to cross the river like a dragon; we'll be conducting a cross-border operation, and the codename for this operation will be Operation Dragon!"
