Chapter 337: A New Mission

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the system has released a new mercenary mission - assassination."

"The assassination of Mwanta Ruto, the head of the largest underground force in northern Kenya, and his family."

"Posted by: Jacob Kay."

"Judging by the difficulty, this mission is an A-level mission."

"Objective: Kill twelve members of Mwanta Kalu's family."

"Task reward - a random item, a bottle of intermediate enhancement potion, 10,000 mercenary points."

"Since this is the host's sixth A-level mission, there is no additional reward after the task is completed!"

"Realistic task commission, 1.5 million commission for killing Mwangta Kalu, 1 million for each of Mwangta's two sons, and 300,000 for each of the rest of the family members!"

Looking at the assistant's task prompt, Lin Dong nodded slightly.

It's another A-level task, the rewards are okay, there are strengthening potions and props, and the 10,000 mercenary points are also very useful for Lin Dong now, because he is now about to accumulate enough mercenary points to summon again.

"Claim the mission!"

"Ding, the task is received, please see the task publisher within two days, and the system will automatically treat the host as giving up the task if it is overdue."

"Kenya? Looks like we're going to have to go on another long trip. Lin Dong didn't care about the last words of the assistant, two days was enough time for them to go anywhere.

Kenya, the full name of the Republic of Kenya, is located in eastern Africa, with the equator running through the middle.

The Great Rift Valley runs through the north and south of the country. It is bordered by Somalia to the east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, Ethiopia and South Sudan to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the southeast.

Kenya is still a relatively developed country, and its domestic economy is developing well.

However, 2011 was a year in which Kenya was not quiet.

Because they have a neighbor who is not too friendly, and that is Somalia.

In fact, the relationship between the governments of Kenya and Somalia is quite good. Kenya has been active in mediating and promoting the Somali peace process and has provided substantial financial support to the Somalia Peace Conference over the years.

However, Somalia is too chaotic internally, and there is no one or force who can calm the civil war to stand up, which has led to chaos in the whole of Somalia, and the advancement has also affected the peace of neighboring countries.

As recently as 2011, Kenya sent troops to neighboring Somalia after frequent cross-border attacks by Somali terrorists in northern Kenya and joined forces from all African Union member states in the war.

As a result, Al-Shabaab, which controls the Somali government, was defeated by the African Union United Nations Army, and finally had to withdraw from the capital, Mogadishu.

The so-called Somali Al-Shabaab is the main rebel group in Somalia.

Its predecessor, the Coalition of Courts, founded in 1991, is a terrorist organization associated with Al-Qaida that uses vicious means to undermine peace and civil rights in Somalia.

Being able to occupy the Somali capital shows that the Somali al-Shabaab is very strong, with 7,000-9,000 armed people, which is a very powerful force in a fragmented Somalia.

Feeding so many people, especially the military, naturally requires a lot of financial support.

According to a July 2011 United Nations report, al-Shabaab in Somalia could make between $35 million and $50 million a year after taking control of entrepot trade at the port of Kismayo.

In addition, underground fundraising networks in the Middle East, Europe, the United States, and other parts of Africa are also trickling down a stream of "blood transfusions" to Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

Among them, there is the credit of the boss of the largest underground force in northern Kenya, Mwanta Ruto.

As an underground force that controls at least a third of the drug trade in Kenya, one of Africa's famous "black triangles", Mwangta's favorite thing is that his neighbor can get as chaotic as possible, which will be of great benefit to his "business".

And Jacob Kaye, who issued the mission, is also an underground power boss in Kenya.

Although his power is weaker than that of Mwangta, he has the shadow of the Kenyan government behind him.

Moreover, in addition to some secret drug deals, arms smuggling, etc., the armed forces in his hands are also not weaker than Mwangta.

This time, Jacob attacked Mwangta, but not just to eliminate Mwangta and his family.

His target is actually the huge underground force that Mwangta has in his hands at this time.

As long as Mwangta's family is all dead, then the power in his hands will definitely fall into a situation where the dragons are leaderless. There is even the possibility of a direct split.

Then it was time for Jacob to take advantage of the situation.

However, this matter is destined to be carried out only secretly, and if it really gets angry, then Jacob is definitely not Mwangta's opponent.

Jacob didn't need to hire mercenaries to do it this time, and he didn't lack this kind of killer in his hands.

He had previously made two assassinations, one targeting Mwanta himself and the other his eldest son, the heir he had focused on cultivating, but tragically, both of them ended in failure.

Mwangta and his family were surrounded by a large number of armed guards, and the killers even used high-powered weapons such as bazookas, and finally let them escape, the biggest result was that Mwangta's eldest son was slightly injured.

And after this incident, Mwangta also knew that someone wanted to deal with him and his family, so the number of guards around him increased several times at once, and he and his family hid in their nest and did not go out at all, which made Jacob suddenly unable to speak.

What's more, Mwangta even brought in a team of mercenaries to protect himself and his family.

The strength of these people is very strong, and several waves of killers sent out by Jacob have quietly disappeared without a trace, thinking that they should have been eliminated by the other party.

Not only that, but the mercenaries also found one of their stations and wiped out all of Jacob's sixty-odd killers inside.

This shocked and scared Jacob.

Fortunately, he had done things very secretively, and no one knew the identities of these killers, and they didn't know Jacob's true identity, just to prevent such a thing from happening.

In this way, although Jacob has not been exposed, the secret power in his hands has been eliminated, so if he wants to do it, he can only use these armed forces on his surface, which he will never dare to do now.

So, in the end, Jacob, who had no choice, had to use the same method as Mwangta, which was to hire mercenaries.

It would cost him a lot of money, but if he wanted this plan to succeed, he had to do it.
