Chapter 67: The Bait, the Fisherman, and the Fish

For most of the next half a month, I went on vacation again, and of course Walker. The two of us spent our days talking, smoking, and scourge Pablo's treasured wines. The leaders of the SDF left one after another on the third day after arriving, and at this moment there were once again hundreds of people who were to be trained in arms, and they were training in sweat and rain every day. Fabry and the oil bottle were also having a good time, because not only did they not have to do anything every day, but there were also people waiting for them.

Probably the busiest is Carl, who travels back and forth between the United States and here from time to time. With the news he brought back, John's injuries have healed a lot, but he can't regain his mobility anytime soon, and there will be painful physical therapy waiting for him later. John is glad to know that we have inflicted a heavy blow on the wizard, but he advises us not to take the wizard lightly, and to always be vigilant and get out of here alive.

One night Carl hurried back to the manor, woke Walker and me from our sleep and went to the conference room together. Carl looked tired, and when we all sat down in the conference room, Carl pressed his temple and looked at us, saying, "I've got bad news for you, your vacation is over, because I got the informant wizard and is about to do something new." โ€

Hearing the news, Walker and I became nervous, and Walker asked even more eagerly: "Are you ready to fight here again?" โ€

Karl immediately shook his head, as if he thought our nervous expression was amused, and he smiled and said, "Not here, not Pablo or even the Self-Defense Army is not his target this time." โ€

Walker and I immediately relaxed when he said this, but I immediately became curious again, wondering who the wizard was going to harm this time? So I asked, "So what is he going to do this time?" Since the target is not the Self-Defense Forces, does it have anything to do with us? โ€

"Of course. Wizards are the greatest threat to us, though of course they have something to do with us. Carl sat up straight as he spoke, "This time he is targeting a Colombian legislator named Thiago?" Mellen. This man was a parliamentarian who advocated the elimination of the guerrillas, and was a very radical one. As you don't know, the government army, after learning that we had inflicted heavy losses on the elite of the guerrillas led by wizards, perhaps for reasons not to be too ashamed, finally launched several decent offensives at the strong request of this councillor, and took the guerrillas by surprise, although in my opinion the guerrillas' surprise was mostly due to the fact that they had targeted the battle here and in the area originally controlled by Silva, resulting in insufficient strength to defend the government forces. But in any case, the guerrillas were beaten, and they could not find a good target to vent their anger for a while, so they found this man. โ€

"Wizards, are they going to kill him or kidnap him?" I asked.

"It's not clear whether it's killing or tying. However, I guess most of the time they kidnapped and then forced the man to repent of his crimes, video him, and finally execute him. Carl replied.

"You don't want us to be a bodyguard for this man, do you?" Walker spoke.

Carl laughed when he heard Walker say this, "Do you think I look like I and you look like a police officer from the Crime Squad?" Karl paused for a moment before asking, "Besides, why should I protect this councilor?" Is he valuable to me? โ€

Hearing Carl say this, I immediately understood what he meant, "Are you going to use this opportunity to fight wizards?" โ€

"Smack." Karl clapped his hands and said, "That's it! I don't care about any parliamentarians, let alone Colombian parliamentarians. Our goal is the Wizard, and this is a rare opportunity. It's like fishing, we are fishermen, and councillors are bait hanging on hooks. All we have to do is ambush around this councilor, and as soon as the wizard appears, you will understand what is going on without me telling you. โ€

"And what if that councillor is killed in the course of the firefight?" I asked.

Carl replied indifferently, "Do you care if the bait on your hook is dead or alive when you're fishing?" โ€

"Okay. In that case, I'm fine. Tell us what we're going to do. I said.

Carl nodded, "This councillor is in Cali City right now. The wizard is expected to be in action this week, so we need to hurry up and get to Cali City. โ€

"I have a question. Although we can not care about the life of this councilor, where can we wait? Are we going to follow this councillor? The wizard is not stupid, and we are likely to be discovered by him every day. Walker spoke.

Before Carl could speak, I understood, and Walker's words continued, "In that case, maybe we'll be fishermen and fishermen." โ€

"No, it won't. Most of the other party's actions this time were at the residence of the councillor or on the way from his residence to his office. The likelihood of doing something at his office is low, because it's in the center of the city, not only are there more security personnel, but the most important thing is that they are likely to not be able to run away after doing it. โ€

"Even if we exclude doing it in the office, it's not easy for us to deal with it, or we can't follow that problem everywhere like this." I said.

Carl also sighed after hearing what I said, "It's a difficult problem to solve. Now I can't tell that parliamentarian that someone is going to kidnap or assassinate him, that would be a surprise. โ€

"How far is this man from his place of residence to his office, and is there a suitable place to do it on the way?" I asked.

Walker took over and said, "I think it's more suitable on the road, and it's convenient to run directly after you get it." โ€

Karl thought for a moment and said, "This councillor lives in the suburbs, far from the city. There are many hands-on places on the road. โ€

I shook my head and said, "Is there any other way to know where the wizard is?" โ€

Carl shook his head, "That's more difficult. He wouldn't use his real identity to stay in a hotel like ordinary people. More likely, they will settle in a house that is already controlled by the guerrillas, and then make a rough observation of the councilor's schedule, and finally make a move. โ€

"Do you have eyeliner or anything in this city of Cali?" I continued to ask.

"Yes. I have arranged for this operation to meet you locally and guide you. But if you want to use them to find the wizard's whereabouts, I advise you to forget it, it's a big city with a million people, maybe the wizards brought that councillor back, and we haven't found their whereabouts. โ€

I waved my hand and said, "I didn't plan on your people to find a place for the wizard. Didn't you say that wizards should go first and see later? Let's take a look. โ€

Carl was stunned for a moment when I said this, and then reacted, "You mean we do the same thing that wizards do?" โ€

"Yes. Maybe then we might meet the wizard or find someone suspicious. I said.

Karl thought for a moment and said, "The success rate of this is not high. And it may be followed by an encounter, and you may not meet the wizard himself, who may find something wrong and withdraw first. โ€

I nodded and acknowledged, "That's true." But now it's only a matter of taking one step at a time. If we can't meet them, we can only use the stupidest way but to follow this gentleman. โ€

"That's dangerous. Didn't you just say that it was very likely that wizards would come at us? Walker said.

"Maybe. There is no way around that. It would be great if Carl could come up with something good and hide us well and let us follow. I looked at Carl and said.

Carl nodded, looked very tired, took off his glasses, rubbed his face, and said, "I'll figure it out." Now tell me who you're going to take with you. โ€

"People? What else can I bring? Dead, dead, wounded. Me, gypsies, paro, pinto, mighty mouses, who else can be used? Walker shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

Karl waved his hand, "There are fewer people." Manpower is also needed. โ€

I looked at Karl and said, "The oil bottle can be counted as one." He speaks the local language, and he's fought a lot of battles since he was rescued by us, and his injuries are almost healed now. But if you still need people, you'll have to look for Pablo. โ€

Karl put his glasses back on, "I'll have two experienced people with Pablo, but not Cรณdobรก." He's too conspicuous for the one-eyed dragon now, and I'm afraid anyone among the wizards has seen him. โ€

"Okay. So where are our equipment for this time, did we bring it with us or give it to us locally when we arrived in Cali? And when are we leaving? I asked.

Karl stood up and stretched, "I've already brought the weapon." This operation is not suitable for carrying long guys, I brought you MP5K. We'll leave tomorrow morning, and I'll be on to Pablo in a moment. We'll leave tomorrow morning at eight o'clock. After Carl finished speaking, he opened the door of the conference room and said, "You guys should hurry up and rest." We'll talk about it when we get to Cali. โ€
