Chapter 1354: Chapter 1206: Special Needs Supplier (Subscribe Please!)
Tongtian doesn’t take on dirty jobs.
Mostly just money laundering.
Collecting debts, and then brokering some legitimate tasks. Overall, they never did anything outrageously immoral, but this ’Kovalro’ was different—if it turned a profit, they were interested.
Money in place.
Everything’s negotiable.
What are "special requirements"?
Well, that’s a broad topic.
As long as it’s a request, and they can handle it, they will—calls this "special requirements," as trivial as finding cats and dogs, delivering parcels. Intermediate like hijacking trains, pulling strings. Major like smuggling polar bear shenanigans.
Pay up.
Everything’s debatable.
When Tang Qing saw the information on this organization, he was terrified. They truly had no limits. One could say that only other people couldn’t imagine it; there wasn’t anything these guys couldn’t do.
Some were simply hair-raising.
For instance.
Organizing a group of people on a deserted island, their task was to be divided into two groups and battle each other until all the people on the other side were dead. Behind it all, some rich and perverted wealthy folks would place bets.
Deserted island.
And that could be switched out for various settings.
Wilderness, deep mountains, fighting rings, ships...
The number of people could also vary at will, sometimes just three to five, other times as many as twenty to thirty, with no specific requirements for gender, and even different weapons, whether or not to wear clothes—also up to the "guest’s" request.
Even.
They employed many people who worked for the United States CIA, collecting all sorts of intelligence for the US, with significant global influence—a genuinely tough nut to crack, even giving the CIA a run for their money.
And this.
Was just the tip of the iceberg of this organization.
Why were they so formidable?
Quite simple.
Clean operations. If anything went wrong, it wouldn’t implicate others; those wealthy individuals also needed such an organization to take on all the risks while satisfying some of their odd tastes, naturally, they wouldn’t let it vanish.
Using this ’tolerance’.
The organization grew from a small outfit to its current size; with money paving the way and threats and enticements, their umbrella of protection was extensive, reaching a point of absolute security.
It was also because they knew restraint.
They knew that darkness was the best place to hide.
Hence.
They’ve always paid great attention to secrecy, never appearing in public view; even to this day, few people know the name ’Kovalro’ because they’ve reorganized various operations internally.
Every type of service.
Had a subgroup responsible for it, each subgroup having its own name.
There were many fake names.
Which often changed.
’Kovalro’, as the name from the founding days, has always remained in the memory of many. Inside the organization, this word was ’sacred’ and after a good amount of investigation, the fighters managed to dig up traces of ’Kovalro’.
Because their services partially overlapped.
They and ’Tongtian’ were in competition. As Tongtian’s activities expanded, their interactions increased, and so did the conflicts. ’Kovalro’ has always wanted to absorb Tongtian.
They made a high-stakes offer.
—Thirty billion USD.
However.
This was destined to be in vain; failing to assimilate them, they even sent people to infiltrate Tongtian, but after all the hustle, they couldn’t even figure out in which country Tongtian’s headquarters were located.
And to this day, they are still searching diligently.
"What are these people up to?" Tang Qing murmured.
It seemed.
He could only wait to ask later.
"Tangtang, what’s wrong?" Seeing Tang Qing deep in thought, Lin Jiaxue asked.
"Nothing, just thinking about some company stuff."
Tang Qing looked up and smiled.
These people.
Could they really turn the sky upside down?
...
About ten minutes later.
The ’March’ entered the neighborhood.
Their vehicles also pulled out some card from who knows where, following into the underground garage. Tang Qing saw that this wasn’t tracking; it was time for action, likely right here.
Just as Tang Qing had thought.
He had been staying in the villa, otherwise at school, with many bodyguards in one, and surrounded by students in the other, making his travels in the incredibly safe Huaxia, absurdly still in a bulletproof car.
This isn’t the United States.
This is Huaxia.
Faced with the formidable defense of "March," the weapons they could acquire were incapable of damaging Tang Qing’s car, let alone breaking its defenses; if that was the case, there was no point in carrying out their goddamn task.
Upon final analysis,
the underground garage was determined to be the best place to make a move. Once Tang Qing got out of the car, away from "March," their action could commence. In their opinion, Tang Qing’s few bodyguards were no match for them.
After Tang Qing’s car came to a stop,
a Santana intended to pretend to be from the neighborhood and cross beside Tang Qing’s car. Timing it right, they expected Tang Qing to have gotten out of the car by the time they crossed, and sure enough, as they passed in front of Tang Qing’s car.
The door to "March" opened.
"Move."
In the co-driver’s seat,
the leader issued the order, ready for a surprise attack.
However,
an accident suddenly occurred. The car shot forward, and the startled driver quickly pressed the clutch and brakes. This was the advantage of a manual car; the clutch would render the accelerator ineffective.
But then,
on pressing down,
his face turned white.
The clutch
was unresponsive.
The brake
was also unresponsive.
Even that wasn’t the end of it.
The accelerator was somehow stuck to the floor.
He could only watch helplessly as the Santana sped towards the wall ahead. The steering wheel and handbrake were useless, malfunctioning simultaneously, perplexing them with the unforeseen failure.
"Jump out of the car~~~," the leader shouted.
Someone warned them.
The others immediately snapped out of it, prepared to open the doors and jump out, ’click-click...’ After several tries, they realized the doors were locked. "What are you doing? Open the doors quickly," a few of them yelled at the driver.
But the driver felt like crying.
"I didn’t touch anything, I can’t open my door either."
"What?" 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Had they seen a ghost?
Watching the wall drawing nearer,
they didn’t know how to describe their feelings at the moment. Damn it, the mission had not even started, and they had gotten themselves into this mess. Crashing like this wouldn’t kill them, but they would certainly be in a wretched state.
"Smash the window."
"Smash your grandpa."
No one paid him any attention.
At this distance, there was no time to smash the window and jump out. Based on their experience, trying to break the window would not only fail to let them escape but would also cause more severe injuries from the flying glass shards, so no one heeded his words.
"Bang~~~Clang!!"
In first gear,
at twenty-five kilometers per hour,
the Santana smashed solidly into the wall, its front end crumpling.
"What happened?"
Just one step out, Lin Jiaxue heard the loud crash, her heart skipping a beat, tightly grasping Tang Qing’s hand. Tang Qing, holding his lover’s small hand, said with a smile, "That car probably stepped on it wrong, mistaking the accelerator for the brake."
All of this,
of course, was Tang Qing’s doing.
At such a close distance, it was exceedingly simple for him to control the operations of such a basic vehicle. If he hadn’t been afraid of frightening others, he could have easily changed gears and accelerated to full speed, giving them a concussion.
Of course,
such tricks
were merely for amusement.
If Tang Qing were truly aiming to kill, he wouldn’t need to resort to these ’boring’ tactics; he could stop their hearts from beating with merely a thought.
Upon hearing this,
Lin Jiaxue didn’t suspect anything else.
She thought it was just a careless mistake.
"Someone might be injured. Here’s what we’ll do, Jiaxue, you go up first, and I’ll take the bodyguards to have a look. If there are any injuries, I’ll call for an ambulance," Tang Qing didn’t want Lin Jiaxue to know too much.
"I’ll go with you."
"No need, you go up first, I’ll be up soon."
"Oh."
Used to obeying Tang Qing’s words, Lin Jiaxue didn’t insist any further. With two bodyguards, she took the elevator. Once Lin Jiaxue got on the elevator, the smile on Tang Qing’s face slowly turned cold.
