After the small leader of these thugs, Zakka, issued a summoning order to his subordinates, all the thugs under Arthur's command in this area began to converge on this block-shaped building from all directions.
And they were all eager, wanting to be the first to catch Lu Ting.
Because as long as they caught Lu Ting and retrieved what he had hidden, they could receive a huge reward from Arthur!
Money, women, drugs!
Whatever they wanted!
Under such huge reward temptation, how could these thugs not 'salivate' over Lu Ting?!
And as Lu Ting swiftly finished the battle with the few thugs inside the block-shaped building's residential building, there were traces of other thugs both inside and outside the building.
So,
When the intense sound of AK assault rifle gunfire erupted, inevitably, they all heard it!
Including Zakka, the small leader of the thugs who was also searching for Lu Ting's whereabouts, pinpointed the exact location of the fight from the sounds.
"Let's go!"
Zakka, who couldn't wait to catch Lu Ting immediately, decisively led several of his men and quickly walked towards the source of the fighting.
But unlike the other thugs who wanted to exchange Lu Ting for rewards, at this moment, Zakka wanted to catch Lu Ting as soon as possible because he was terrified to the extreme!
Because last night, that female Interpol from China had infiltrated the base under his jurisdiction!
So the occurrence of this incident could be entirely attributed to his inadequate management. And now, Arthur had tasked Zakka with resolving this matter, which was actually giving him a chance to redeem himself!
But if he couldn't resolve it well, didn't catch Lu Ting, or caught him but didn't retrieve the items, then Arthur would definitely not let him off easy!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the bloody and terrifying scenes of those who had been personally dealt with by Arthur, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
Under the immense pressure, he hastened his steps and his sinister eyes filled with resolute and unyielding killing intent.
Obviously, this time, Zakka was determined to capture Lu Ting!
Meanwhile, in another area of the slums opposite to Lu Ting's current location.
On the rooftop of a villa that stood out from the dilapidated, low-rise buildings nearby, four or five burly bodyguards dressed in black suits, wearing black sunglasses and earpiece walkie-talkies, with stern faces, were stationed at various corners of the rooftop, monitoring everything around them from all directions!
And sitting within the circle of these highly professional and explosively combat-capable bodyguards was the local drug lord of Mont Jalada, Arthur!
Arthur, lying on a wicker chair under a circular parasol, had a somewhat unpleasant complexion at the moment. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, it was still evident from his furrowed brows.
Obviously, he was extremely annoyed by what happened last night!
The item stolen by that female Interpol officer from China was indeed very important. All the information on the memory card contained his drug trading supply channel information within China!
If such an item was taken out of Dakar, the situation would immediately become tricky.
Although Arthur wielded great power locally in Mont Jalada, he obviously couldn't guarantee that his interests wouldn't be affected if he came up against international police from other countries!
Not to mention,
This time, standing opposite him are the international police from China!
It is well known that China's stance on drugs is far more resolute than that of any other country in the world!
Any criminal who attempts to sell drugs within China or engage in drug trafficking with Chinese nationals, once sufficient evidence is obtained against them, regardless of their nationality, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and those with serious offenses may even face execution!
This is not an exaggeration by China to intimidate all criminals attempting to traffic drugs within its borders; cases like this have indeed occurred within China.
Originally, Arthur considered these factors and didn't want to provoke the Chinese authorities, but over the years, too many people seeking cooperation with him have come forward! Furthermore, the market for drugs within China, as well as the demand, is indeed very substantial!
Therefore, tempted by enormous profits and reassured by business partners repeatedly, he decided to get involved!
But who could have expected that in just a short half-year, based on a few clues, the international police from China would trace the source of drugs and find him here!
It must be said that the international police from China indeed have some capability; even under his meticulous vigilance, they managed to plant many undercover agents among his core associates, and they successfully stole that memory card.
Thinking of this, Arthur's impatience grew evident on his face again. He picked up the glass of wine beside him and drained its contents.
Last night, he had personally exposed and eliminated those undercover agents.
The reason he let go of that last woman was because Arthur originally planned to use this opportunity to find her accomplices outside and eliminate them together!
But now, the situation seems to have deviated!
At this moment, Arthur set down the now-empty glass of red wine and picked up the tablet lying on the table.
On the screen of this tablet computer displayed a file containing information about Lu Ting's identity!
"Lu Ting."
Looking at Lu Ting's photo on the identity information, a sudden burst of killing intent flashed in Arthur's eyes behind his sunglasses.
Arthur couldn't understand why Lu Ting, without fear of death, would accept such a mercenary task?
According to the identity information he had, this young man named Lu Ting was indeed a mercenary, but he hadn't experienced any particularly significant mercenary tasks.
In other words, he had never been in a real fight and had never killed anyone!
Up till now, the jobs he had taken were just two bodyguard assignments.
He had a military group company under his name, but in reality, this military group company had long ceased to exist, and he was the only mercenary in the entire group.
With his own strength being insufficient and the group company having no real power, why would he dare to take on this task alone?
Was it because he didn't value his own life, or was it because, in desperation, Lu Ting chose to take on this task as a last resort?!
If it was the latter,
Then Arthur believed that the bitch representing the international police from China had given Lu Ting tremendous benefits!
Otherwise, Lu Ting would never dare to defy him like this, risking his life to confront him alone!
Soon after, Arthur set aside the information about Lu Ting and picked up the phone on the table, preparing to call his contacts in the police.
Although he had countless subordinates under his command, Arthur was also well aware that their combat capabilities were actually quite poor.
And no matter how you looked at it, Lu Ting was still a mercenary with some combat strength.
To ensure that everything was foolproof in bringing back both the person and the items, he decided to have the Dakar police force prepare for battle. If his men under command were unable to capture Lu Ting promptly, he would have them ready to join in at any moment!
Just then, A colonel in the special police uniform of Mont Jalada, wearing a police badge beret, hurried over from the staircase.
The bodyguards around him immediately looked towards him. Upon seeing that it was someone familiar to their boss, they turned their gaze away and continued to watch elsewhere.
"Arthur."
The colonel quickly approached him, but before he could speak, Arthur spoke first: "You've come at the right time. I need to speak with you."
