Chapter 12: Bounty
Barlow. Mata was with his family at this time.
The kitchen was bustling with his wife and mother preparing dinner. In the dexterous hands of the housewife, the fried burnt tortillas, wrapped in cheese and minced meat, are full of aroma. Enpanada, which looks like a large dumpling, is lined up with sliced limes and tomatoes, and the plate is mouth-watering.
Fajita, which refers to the diaphragm of a cow in Spanish, is a traditional home-cooked dish in Mexico. It has evolved to include not only roasted beef diaphragm, but also different cuts of beef, chicken, pork and seafood, grilled with chopped onions and green peppers. In the spicy sauce made with warm cream, guacamole, salsa and more than 100 spices.
The highlight is Cochinita pibil, a dish of marinated pork wrapped in banana leaves and slow-roasted, thanks to the use of annatto seeds, which gives it a unique flavor.
Barlow was watching TV with his beloved son in his arms.
"Dad, will Santa Claus bring me a gift this year?"
He rubbed his son's head.
"Yes, my child, because you are my Barlow. Mata's children, Santa Claus does not dare not give you Christmas gifts. ”
Barlow is slightly chubby, with two thick beards and a beer belly, and looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.
A muscular, tattooed subordinate suddenly walked in. He also had a mobile phone in his hand, apparently receiving some information and wanting to report it.
Barlow put the child in his arms on the couch, lifted his pants and stood up, and motioned with his eyes for his men to go out and talk. It was only at this time that a trace of domineering could be seen in his deep eyes.
The two walked out of the room and into the pavilion in the courtyard.
A wide man-made river surrounds the Mata estate, and the sound of large animal jets can be heard from it. A hippopotamus raised by Mata in an artificial river.
Pulling out a cigarette, holding it in his mouth, pulling out a lighter and lighting it, Barlow. Mata took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Is something happening to the Reyes Group?"
The men immediately returned.
"It's... Yes, Filippoto's daughter was kidnapped and they wanted to hide the secret, but there were our informants on the scene. ”
Barlow. Mata flicked the soot into the river and groaned for a moment.
"Inform Muñoz that he is ready to take action against the Reyes Group, spend more money, let those mercenaries take action, and let our own people preserve their strength. Spread the news of Filippoto's daughter's abduction, and the hyenas would be more than willing to attack the lion who was showing weakness. ”
The subordinates were a little puzzled.
"Boss, it's clear that someone is trying to provoke a war between us and the Reyes group."
Barlow. Mata spreads his hands:
"Who would believe that we didn't do the kidnapping? In Mexico, except for me Barlow. Mata, no one would dare to make a move on Filippoto's juggling. In this case, it is better to strike first. After the war with the Reyes group is over, we will investigate who is causing trouble. ”
......
......
"Too weak! Too weak! You're too weak! ”
In the basement of the safe house, Broly's voice of disappointment rang out. He wears gloves on his hands and is battling the captured mutants.
The mutant was panting, his intertwined muscles soaked in sweat, and his powerful straight punches rained down. The X gene in his body not only gives him strength beyond the limits of human beings, but also his ability to heal injuries far beyond ordinary people. After a short night, the fractured right hand has recovered as before.
As long as an ordinary person is punched by his fist, his skull will be shattered and his brain will be splattered. But Broly was like a petrel in a storm, dodging the incoming fists with ease.
Such a boring fight finally reached the limit of Broly's patience, and he shot in the instant of avoiding a straight punch. The mutant only had time to see the flower before he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. The pain made his eyes darken, as if the soul had been beaten by this punch out of his body and lost control of his body.
Looking at the mutant on his knees, retching, Broly found himself overestimating his strength. This mutant does have seventy percent of his strength, but his martial arts, reaction speed, physical strength, and ability to resist blows are all weaker than his own. In a real battle, he can beat it with only one hand.
Such an opponent, with it, will not be able to improve its own strength at all.
For a warrior, martial arts and talent are only part of the equation. If you learn alone and have no friends, you will be lonely and unheard. Sun Wukong's achievements can be so high, and his companions, teachers and enemies along the way have worked hard. His strength exploded after the Vic chapter, and powerful enemies like Vegeta and King Frieza played a major role.
"I'll be back in five days, and I hope you can survive my punch or you'll die."
Barrow wrapped the mutants around in chains, then picked up a bag of food that would last five days and threw it on the ground, locking the heavy iron door. The underground cell of the safe house is very sturdy, with walls up to 80 centimeters thick. Even if it is a mutant, it is not easy to escape from it, not to mention that he is still entangled in chains.
Broly went upstairs, opened the fridge, took out a bottle of sports drink, and poured it into his mouth.
"The Mata Group has made a move, and they have published nearly 100 bounty orders on the dark web for members of the Reyes Group."
Alejandro glanced at him and pointed to a web page.
There are bounty orders hanging on the website, ranging from millions to tens of thousands. The Mata Group and the Reyes Group have been competing with each other for more than a decade, and they have already known the roots, and almost all the middle and senior members of the Reyes Group have been listed.
There were also earlier bounties for members of the military and police who opposed the Mata group, lawyers, newspaper journalists, television hosts and even local mayors. In the past, the Mata Group has also put a bounty on the members of the Reyes Group, but no daring killer has ever dared to take it.
"The gates of hell are open!" Alejandro tapped his finger on the table and said, "The killers will be happy to show us traditional Mexican folk art." ”
Standing in the middle of the living room, Broly picked up two dumbbells weighing 300 kilograms for weight training, a group of sixteen, and did five sets in a row. The dumbbell blades shook slightly, making a heavy metal crashing sound.
The weight that ordinary people can't lift at all is as light as a bird in his hands.
"This bounty is just the beginning, Barlow. It's never that simple. Just by assassinating a few cadres, it can't shake the Reyes group. They will soon hire mercenaries to launch an attack on the transit stations, laboratories, production plants of the Reyes group. We'll have to find a few helpers, just two people don't look like a mercenary. ”
