Chapter 229: Chapter 145: Retaliation (Fourth Update)

Beautiful Country.

New Mexico State.

As the state with the lowest population density in the Beautiful Country, New Mexico State has only about two million people, less than some cities, a typical case of vast land with sparse population.

Originally, this state was seized from Mexico, and because it borders Mexican territory and has a sparsely populated environment, it is one of the major disaster areas for smuggling of Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid.

In a secret underground tunnel, several average-looking East Asian men pushed aside a disguised carpet, each carrying two huge iron boxes, and appeared in a villa courtyard.

By their side, there were also a few Mexicans following along.

“Miao Lun, brother, we’ll go this way, the cars outside are already prepared,” said Chiou Russell carefully. These East Asian men were the bosses of his boss’s boss; Cartel had personally ordered him to accompany them. It was said they came from Southeast Asia and were persons of such importance that even Cartel’s boss would have to receive them.

“Is the escape route all arranged?”

Miao Lun scanned the surroundings to confirm once again.

“No problem, we’ve made thorough preparations,” Chiou Russell reassured, nodding again and again, yet he couldn’t help asking curiously, “But brother Miao Lun, what exactly are you going to do, being so secretive?”

“Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t,” Miao Lun said indifferently, casting a glance that was fierce and bloodshot, an intimidating gaze. In that moment, Chiou Russell even felt as though he had seen the Grim Reaper, experiencing a suffocating sensation akin to being on the brink of death.

“What’s the real story behind these guys?”

Chiou Russell felt a bit of fear in his heart, but he dared not ask any more questions and hurried to call his companions to drive up several cars.

When Miao Lun and his companions placed the iron boxes into the bed of the pickup truck, the vehicle slightly sank downward, indicating their heavy load.

…

Two days later.

The cars arrived at a rather secluded manor town.

The place looked like a forest park, beautiful and serene, quiet and tidy, an image of tranquility and harmony.

The wealthy in the Beautiful Country are fond of manor environments, maybe because of their cowboy culture. Despite their remote locations, these are undoubtedly affluent neighborhoods. Each manor is like a secluded kingdom for the wealthy, where they can raise cattle and horses, go fishing, admire the flowers, and enjoy their various leisure activities, making it an ideal retirement spot for the aged rich.

In the southeastern part of the town, there is a large manor surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, with flowers in bloom and artistic statues scattered throughout. The interior is luxurious and grand, while the outside is so beautiful it seems like a paradise on earth, a hidden haven away from the world.

As the cars came to a stop, Miao Lun and his group got out one by one, and after confirming their location with a map, they swiftly began their operation.

Each person opened their heavy iron boxes; one contained thick battle armor, and the other was filled with high-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns, Gatlings, rocket launchers, and other destructive weapons made by humans.

Under Chiou Russell’s stunned gaze, Miao Lun and the others quickly put on their battle armor, connected the ammunition belts to the machine guns, and without another word headed towards the manor.

…

Meanwhile, inside the manor, an unpleasant meeting was underway.

“Jose, why has the ban on Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid been lifted? Doesn’t this mean all our previous preparations have been for nothing?”

“We invested billions of US dollars in the warlords, and now it’s all gone to waste, and you’re fully responsible for it.”

“Our hair growth products have almost completely lost the market under the pressure from Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid; Uncle Jose, you must come up with a solution!”

Jose Avelson sat at the head of the long table, surrounded by the members of the Averson Family.

Because of a series of decision-making errors, these family members today were here to confront him and put pressure on him.

“I indeed didn’t give enough consideration to dealing with the Jieke Group and underestimated how difficult Jieke Group would be.”

Jose’s voice was heavy, the general public was still unaware of Chan Country’s defeat at Fengpo Mountain, but as a capitalist from the Beautiful Country, he had his own channels of information and had already understood the truth of the matter.

Looking around at the family members, who were either angry, secretly pleased or expressionless, Jose continued, “It’s okay to blame me, and I know some of you want to take my place. But as for Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, I will not give it up. It concerns the entire family’s interests. As long as I sit in this position, I can maintain the implementation of our established policies. If a new family head comes in, it might not be the case.”

“Jose, what do you mean by that?”

Someone immediately expressed their dissatisfaction upon hearing this.

Jose said indifferently, “Isn’t my meaning clear enough? I’m afraid that someone might betray our family’s interests and seek a compromise and pacification with the Jieke Group. There has been so much gossip in the family lately, suggesting that we pay off the Jieke Group as a goodwill gesture and obtain the rights to distribute Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid.”

“Nonsense, I think you’re really senile, Jose. How could the family ever agree to that kind of thing?”

“Actually, this plan might not be so bad. Making money is what counts the most. Do we really have to fight to the death to prevail?”

“What? Jamal, I’m ashamed you’re a member of the Avelson family. The Avelson family would never compromise with a warlord.”

The meeting room immediately erupted into arguments, some willing to compromise, others insisted on fighting to the end.

“A disarrayed bunch, you vermin will never be able to strengthen the family!”

Jose watched this scene, shaking his head inwardly with a sigh.

It wasn’t until everyone argued themselves out of energy that Jose finally continued to speak, “Compromise is out of the question. Although Asder Pharmaceutical failed this time, we haven’t lost. Sooner or later, Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid will be ours.”

Although no one knew where Jose’s confidence came from, they were too exhausted to argue any further and could only watch as Jose performed.

A faint smile crossed Jose’s mind as he was about to continue unveiling his plan to seize Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid and demonstrate his ability to his family when he suddenly heard some noisy voices. It seemed like a lot of people were running and yelling outside, as if there were also fireworks going off.

“What’s going on!”

Jose’s face showed anger; he was a person who highly valued noble courtesy, and such shouting and yelling were behaviors he absolutely couldn’t tolerate.

Just as Jose was about to find someone to inquire about the situation, the meeting room’s wall was riddled with row after row of holes the size of sea bowls.

Large-caliber bullets penetrated the concrete walls and entered, severing several of the Avelson family members, who had just been in the meeting, in half; their blood even splattered onto Jose’s face.

Bang bang bang!

Only then did the meeting room, which had excellent soundproofing, finally make out the commotion—it was the sound of gunfire and explosions.

Jose’s expression was stiff; gone was his previous nonchalance as he looked outside in fear.

Through the bullet-ridden holes, it seemed a few creatures clad in steel armor were slowly advancing toward the meeting room, leaving a river of blood in their wake.
