Chapter Ninety-Eight: Confidence

"I understand that." Aruas said with certainty: "I'm sure of that. Because I have a good reputation. And I'm doing serious business. I only sell what I need locally, what I eat and drink, and what I need to live. They can live without guns and without women, but they can't live without food and drink. So, I'm their friend, they need me, and they don't embarrass me. ”

"So, you have an estate in El Carmen?" Megan asked.

"Yes." Aruas looked a little smug and said, "It's just some warehouses and a faΓ§ade." And some helpers. My treasury is where you will stay, and my plan is that you will hide there. It's safe there, and no one usually goes there except for a few wild dogs and wild cats. And those people of mine can help you inquire about the news and make eyeliner for you. ”

"Are your people reliable?" Megan then asked.

"Of course." Aruas glanced at Megan and said, "To be precise, my people are more reliable than yours." He pointed to himself and Miranda, "What do you think is the foundation of the status and foothold of people like us here?" Clan. It's nothing else, it's because we're relatives with each other. My people help me with things, but they are all my relatives. If they betrayed me, I would have betrayed their family. Unless they plan to cut ties with family and friends for the rest of their lives, no one would be stupid enough to have a second mind about it. ”

John looked at Meghan and said, "That's fine." He's right. The Balcas family has a lot of status here, and this kind of thing is not going to be talked about casually. ”

Seeing that John said the same, Meghan didn't say anything more. But John turned to Arruas and continued, "But on the way there, there have to be our people in the cab of every car. It can be your people driving the car, but my people can't all be in the car, you know what I mean? ”

"Okay." Aruas didn't seem to mind that, he nodded and said, "Although I think you can rest assured, since you ask for it, I have no problem." ”

John didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Meghan and said, "Tell him what you want." ”

Meghan saw John say this and immediately spoke, "I wonder if you know exactly what you're going to face?" I mean what we're going to do, we're going to deal with people. Do you know who he is? ”

"Drug dealers, huh?" Without thinking about it, Aruas spoke, "I know. Although I don't know his real name, I do know that this guy is from Mexico. Is there anything else I need to know? ”

Aruas' indifferent appearance made Meghan frown slightly and said, "What I want to tell you is that he is dangerous." He's not your average drug lord. If you're not careful, you'll probably be eaten alive by him. ”

I saw Aruas smile indifferently: "Ms. Megan, as a native of Colombia and has grown up on this land for generations, there may be many things in this world that I have never seen or even heard of. But when it comes to drug lords, I think my generation knows better than anyone else. After speaking, he sneered and said proudly: "No matter how powerful that person is, can he be stronger than Escobar?" Today's Mexicans are nothing more than FedEx for Colombian drug dealers. ”

"Aruas's uncle used to do things for Escobar. So he's not talking big. Miranda on the side spoke.

Hearing this, Megan and John glanced at each other. Just listen to Megan: "So how did you know that person was from Mexico?" ”

"Huh." Aruas smiled and said, "I'm careful. Don't look at me cooperating with you and taking your money. Does that make you think I'm a person who can die for money? After seeing that neither Meghan nor John said anything, he continued: "Actually, in my opinion, this matter is not so dangerous for me. ”

"Can I know why?" Meghan asked curiously, "Why do you think this thing is not dangerous?" ”

Aruas looked at Megan and said, "It's still because of Escobar." You may not understand how powerful he was back then. At whose hands do you think he died? Colombians? No. Aruas said, shaking one of his hands, "It was at the hands of you Americans." If it weren't for the fact that you had to kill this guy and did a lot of things openly and secretly, maybe this gentleman might really be elected president of Colombia at this moment. Hahaha. Aruas laughed for a while and then pouted, "In comparison, this person you have to deal with. Like a lost dog, he fled his country, hiding incognito in a small border town and not daring to see anyone. What's worse is that you've come here, and in such a situation, if it were me and you, who do you think would be the winner? ”

The fat man's words made Meghan's originally frowning brow slowly stretch. This guy is right, although he doesn't know how the big drug lord Escobar was destroyed, but there must be Americans among them, after all, that guy's biggest market is North America, that is, the United States. This is still the case. And more importantly, he is also bound to win this operation, no matter what, he has to take down Miguel Hernandez.

"Hearing you say that, this man hiding in El Carmen has suddenly become your chance to make money?" John asked.

"Of course." Aruas was very sure, "What else do you think he is?" Take them down. While he's still there, hahaha. ”

"Then tell me what I want your people to help do." Meghan said as she took out the photos she had collected about the building where the target was located, handed them to Aruas and continued, "Here are some of the photos we took, look, what you know is here?" ”

Aruas took the picture and looked at it without speaking, until he saw some of the peripheral photos taken by the ground personnel before he spoke: "I don't recognize those taken from the sky, and it's the first time in my life that I've looked at El Carmen from this perspective." But these photos are correct, this guy and his men live in a house in the woods. ”

Megan nodded and said, "These photos are not very clear, and the people sent there can't get close." The first thing you're going to do for us is I want to know what's going on around the place where they live, what the places that are obscured by the trees are like? Whether there are fences, barbed wire, whether there are surveillance, whether there are other entrances and exits. ”
