Chapter 157: Contest

Every business tycoon's history is legendary, and Elbert is no exception.

He was born into a down-and-out aristocratic family in the Busitanian Empire, when the empire was in turmoil, and his father, an officer, was killed in battle in East Lopia when Elbert was seven years old, and Elbert, as an only son, had to support the broken family with his mother.

It is rumored that after Elbert lost his father, he was forced to make a living to join a gang of child thieves controlled by the local gang, and in the process of growing up, he slowly usurped the position of the leader of the gang with his smart and cunning mind, and successfully whitewashed the gang, otherwise it is difficult to explain the origin of his first pot of gold, but unfortunately after Elbert took control of a quarter of the world's media enterprises and formed a de facto information monopoly, all this news disappeared.

Elbert is 77 years old this year, and his body is still as tough as an ordinary middle-aged man under the surface of his seemingly advanced age, which is not only the reason for the development of modern medical technology, but also because of his good eating habits and consistent physical exercise, according to this trend, he can live to more than 100 years if there is no disease or disaster.

One of the most talked about topics in the world is Elbert's lust, and Elbert has never shied away from this, someone once counted the number of women who have had a relationship with Elbert, and the quality of each woman can be called a supermodel stunner.

The only regret that makes Elbert regret that he has no sons, only eight daughters, this is still not the premise of counting illegitimate daughters, he has been divorced three times, he has remained single since the divorce at the age of 71, and now there are many women with wealthy dreams who are eager to climb into his bed to give him a son, because the world knows that he wants a son and wants to go crazy, once he has a son, the mother is expensive with the son, even a sparrow can become a phoenix, but unfortunately, Elbert's ability is now probably weak.

Elbert was a very busy man, and spent most of his time wandering around the territory of his media empire, perhaps in Mary in the morning, and in the afternoon he might have flown to Ancient Oceania, and few people could accurately judge his whereabouts unless it was specifically invited.

This time, at the invitation of the imperial royal family, Elbert's whereabouts were accurately announced.

Chen An: It was precisely this point that they decided to set up an action plan.

In the daytime schedule, Elbert has to accompany the royal family most of the time, with the security around him, unless it is a long-range sniper, Chen An is categorically unable to get close to them, but the dinner time is the best time to sneak in and kidnap Elbert.

After arriving in the imperial capital of Pandra ahead of schedule, they immediately began to divide and cooperate with each other.

Chen An was in charge of inspecting the banquet venue and security conditions, Ed was in charge of contacting the underground world to arrange logistics, Thompson and Dorliwan were in charge of finding out the names of all the people on the banquet list online, and Shirley was in charge of contacting the kitchen waiters at the banquet.

Before the banquet, Chen An put on a human skin mask and replaced one of the stunned waiters through Li Dai Taozhuang, so as to successfully blend into the banquet, according to the information of other personnel he got before, Chen An will not expose himself in words in a short time.

After the banquet began, Chen An, like an ordinary waiter, walked back and forth between the banquet with a wine tray, looking for Elbert's trace silently, until thirty minutes after the banquet began, Elbert was late.

Chen An had already recognized Elbert through the photo, but he didn't get close to the other party, just quietly took a piece of ice in his hand, and waited until a waiter walked towards Elbert, Chen An, who had been paying attention, quickly threw the ice cube in his hand and hit the inside of the waiter's knee without a trace.

Seeing the slightly chaotic scene not far away, Chen An immediately left the banquet hall while no one was paying attention, and walked straight in the direction of the dressing room.

At the invitation of the royal family, Elbert could not leave the table easily, and his clothes were stained with wine, and he had to change his clothes out of etiquette and respect, Chen An's behavior was just to create an opportunity.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Elbert to arrive at the locker room with two bodyguards, and after the bodyguards carefully checked the locker room to make sure it was okay, they left the locker room and guarded the door at Elbert's signal.

At this time, Chen An, who was hiding in the ceiling, quietly jumped down when Elbert was changing clothes, holding an ether-stained handkerchief in his hand and covering his mouth and nose from behind the other party and fainted directly.

Fascinated by Elbert, he took a chair to the door of the dressing room, and then threw the chair in his hand not far away to break a dressing mirror, when the two bodyguards outside the door heard the movement, they immediately opened the door and came in, and when they saw the stunned Elbert on the ground before he could react, Chen An slashed and fainted with a knife.

After solving the bodyguard, Chen An took out the prepared big black plastic bag and put Elbert inside, and after putting on several layers in a row to ensure that it would not break, he walked out of the dressing room with the plastic bag, and left along the back door of the kitchen.

When he left the banquet venue and threw Elbert into the trash can, Ed, who had been waiting outside for a long time, got in touch and immediately drove the garbage truck through the perimeter security to the trash can to contain the garbage, while Chen An hid in the car and left with Ed.

The garbage truck stopped in a place where there was no one on the way, Shirley drove the car out slowly, Chen An and Ed changed the Elbert in the garbage into the car, and finally drove to the beach, and at the seaside, there was already a rented yacht waiting for them.

When someone at the banquet noticed the abnormality in the dressing room and knew that Elbert was missing, Chen An and the others had already driven the yacht away from the land for hundreds of nautical miles.

"Tsk, I thought it would be so difficult to act, but I didn't expect to get him so easily. ”

With a bottle of beer in his hand, Ed smiled as he looked at Elbert, who was tightly tied in the corner of the cabin.

"That's because we're lucky, and if we get any part of the plan wrong, we're going to fall short. Chen An, who took off the human skin mask, moved his muscles and bones. "Also, don't forget the tracker that Dorivan dug up from his body, and that alone revealed that we had kidnapped him to the beach, and perhaps now the Coast Guard has begun to search the waters for our whereabouts. ”

"Without further ado, wake him up and get information about the rest of the board. Ed took a sip of clean beer and said to Chen An. "Will you come for the next torture interrogation?"

"Come on, I'm not professional in this area, I'm only going to waterboard. Chen An shrugged.

"Yo, don't underestimate waterboarding, it's the most efficient of all tortures. Ed crooked his neck and said. "It's more efficient if you use ice water or add paprika to the water. ”

"Let's get started. ”

......

......

Ed pried Elbert's mouth open, his will to resist was not as tenacious as he imagined, and from his mouth, they came up with two more thunderous names, both of whom were big names in this world.

Eventually, Ed killed Elbert with a single sword, and sank into the ocean with an iron block on his foot.

When the case of Elbert's disappearance and kidnapping was in an uproar, Chen An and his party had already left the Busitanian Empire and went to the Fedaine Federation, the largest country in ancient Oceania.

With the death of one board member after another under the careful assassination of Chen An and others, the top management of the group finally couldn't sit still, even if many countries realized that something was wrong, you must know that the dead board members enjoyed prestige around the world, and there must be someone behind their "mysterious disappearance" who was secretly targeted, but the murderer never showed his true face, but some terrorist organizations jumped out to express responsibility for the disappearance of these big people.

"Lately, operations have become more and more difficult. ”

In the living room of a private house, Chen An and the others watched the news report on the "disappearance" of the big man on TV these days, and they all showed solemn expressions to each other.

"Yes, the targets we plan to deal with next have canceled their original schedules one by one, and I'm afraid we won't be able to kidnap them quietly and unknowingly like before. Thompson, who was manipulating the laptop in his hand, nodded.

"They know who we are. Chen An leaned on the sofa and clasped his hands.

And they all gathered at the group's headquarters in Santa Ana. "Dolly Wandao. "I guess they're thinking about how to deal with us. ”

"Looks like we're going to have to do it first. Chen An said in a deep voice.

"How? You're not going to break into Santa Ana and fight them head-on, are you?" Ed joked.

"Break them apart, you can't let them pile them together. Chen An sneered and turned to face Thompson. "Thompson, you have anonymously announced the identities of these board members and the matter of Battle Royale Island on the Internet, and I need to use public opinion to force them to mess with themselves. ”

"Understood. Thompson gave him a handshake and quickly worked on the keyboard.

"Ed, you've been paying more attention to the underworld lately, and I suspect they've been throwing money into the underworld against us. Chen An said to Ed. "The relevant documents and human skin masks are also going to be replaced. ”

"Duoliwan, notify me in time if there is a situation on your side. Chen An said something to Duoliwan that only they understood.

"What about me?" said Shirley, who had been silent for a long time.

"Stay put, with me. ”

Thompson's anonymous revelation of the inside story of the group on the Internet quickly caused an uproar, although the group has tried its best to remove and cover up these things, but many things in the information age cannot be hidden, and now many civil rights organizations have even launched demonstrations and protests against the Felix group, but they are quickly suppressed.

Failure is inevitable, Chen An has long known this, in terms of public opinion, they are not the opponents of the group at all, but their goal has been achieved, seeing that one by one the board members are anxious to deal with the tail, it is difficult to gather together, which means that they have created a flaw in their actions.

"Targets 3 and 4 have secretly left Santa Ana. ”

These days, Chen An and the others have been hiding in the stronghold and patiently observing their prey like hunters, until one day, Thompson, who is responsible for monitoring the movement of the target, found Chen An.

"Where did they go?" said Chen.

"According to the route they applied for, target 3 went to Middle-earth Huaguo, and target 4 went to the Moen Kingdom in Isenger Continent. Thompson said.

"Target 3 aside, keep an eye on Target 4. Chen An thought for a while.

"The next target is No. 4?" Thompson asked.

"It is difficult for Hua Guo to infiltrate the assassination, and only No. 4 is easier to deal with. Chen Andao. "By the way, what's the matter with the 4th going to the Moen Kingdom?"

"It should be related to the arms business. Thompson said. "Six years ago, there was a rebellion in the north of the Moen Kingdom, and so far it has not been successfully quelled, and I have recently found out the news that the Moen Kingdom is preparing to purchase a batch of the most advanced military equipment to completely wipe out the rebels in the north. ”

The rebellion of the Moen Kingdom originated from the uncle and nephew fighting for the throne, and the uncle was unwilling to defeat and launched a rebellion, if it is normal in the Middle Ages, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen in modern society, of course, this can be traced back to the sequelae left by the merger of the north and south of the Moen Kingdom.

Although the previous King of Morn has tried his best to weaken the power of the northern nobles, but the previous king died, and the northern nobles who had been suppressed for many years finally couldn't help but hook up with the king's uncle who failed to fight for the throne and launched a rebellion, otherwise the new king will still uphold the policy of weakening the northern nobles, and sooner or later these nobles will be finished, it is better to simply support the king's uncle to control the kingdom and meet the interests of the northern nobles.

For this reason, Chen An deliberately approached Ed to learn about the situation in the Moen Kingdom, after all, the news found on the Internet was far less clear than that of him, a person who had been a mercenary.

"Moen Kingdom? I was once hired by the rebels to fight against the Kingdom Army. Speaking of this, Ed couldn't help but show a look of nostalgia. "Now the Moen Kingdom can be called a mercenary paradise, especially the price offered by the rebels is really exciting, and many mercenary rookies who have been trained for three months are eager to take it, so it is no wonder that the kingdom army has been unable to quell the rebellion for a long time......"

"Do you still have a way out on the rebel side now?" Chen An said. "This time against Target 4 may be useful to the rebels. ”

"I advise you to dispel this thought. Ed said with a grimace.

"Why?"

"Do you know why the rebels have been able to confront the Kingdom Army for so long?" said Ed. "There's no denying that there's something about us mercenaries, and the biggest reason for that is that someone doesn't want this war to end. ”

"Are you saying that someone is secretly supporting the rebels?" said Chen.

"Otherwise, how would those arms dealers do business!" Ed laughed. "The No. 4 target we dealt with this time should have been one of the rebels secretly supporting the rebels before, but according to the information given by Thompson's investigation, it seems that the No. 4 target is going to close the net, so the rebels are no longer useful. ”
