He had confessed.
Soon,
Tang Qing learned of their communication methods.
It turns out,
every task
was not conveyed through an "open letter" method.
In the entire "Kovalro" communication system,
there was generally no direct exchange of information; instead, they employed indirect methods involving a "translated version." No wonder the Command Room, despite having access to limited and wireless internet and phone services around the globe, couldn’t find any trace of these guys.
Indeed, it was very clever.
For instance,
the man’s "translated version" was a book on World History.
Every time there was a task,
he would log into an email account.
This email was provided by the Organization; he could log into this account and receive a string of complex numbers correlable to text within the book, a decoding rule known only to the heads of the branch offices.
By decoding this number,
he could learn the content of the task.
Each email account
received only five tasks before it was destroyed, and finally, the information about the next email was attached, but email was just one of the methods employed.
Similar methods existed,
and the "translated versions" varied; some branches used dictionaries, some used classic literature, others might use a piece of scientific literature or video material, even a company’s PPT.
After understanding this,
Tang Qing really wanted to say,
--- Aren’t you tired?
You’re not tired,
but those reading are.
After this understanding,
the Command Room, through online records, locked down more individuals. However, since the method of contact changed frequently, it would take some more time to fully understand all members of "Kovalro."
After asking,
these six men were sent to another hidden location,
waiting for the arrival of the Teleportation Node.
However,
the man didn’t know the reason behind this task because the next step of the task, which involved subduing Tang Qing, had not come through. To learn more, they had to dig deeper step by step.
In fact,
in the possibility analysis of the Command Room,
one highly probable guess was
"Black Jail." 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Black Jail
was primarily active in Africa and had grown increasingly powerful there. Such a big player had caught the attention of "Kovalro," who even tried to bring them into the fold.
However,
like "Tongtian",
they didn’t take the bait.
Thus,
they wanted to lure out "Black Jail" using him because many forces and companies in Africa collaborated with Black Jail, but few were as conspicuous as Tang Qing.
The wealthiest man in Huaxia.
Young and successful.
Having established that massive steel factory in Africa
and encouraged the foundation of the Congo Gold Electric Company.
He was protected by "Black Jail," securing that not even Sadoke in Bei Ji Province dared make a rash move. Even if it was just collaboration, Tang Qing was an important client to "Black Jail."
Therefore,
from this angle,
targeting him,
provided many valid reasons.
...
Mexico,
Capital,
A manor,
In the basement,
A middle-aged Caucasian man quietly listened to the reports and said nothing more, dismissing his subordinate. He was the head of the "Kovalro" management team, and had been for eight years.
Kidnapping Tang Qing
was indeed for Black Jail.
Otherwise,
their Organization wasn’t short of money, demanding property was merely a cover for this operation. As long as Tang Qing was not foolish, he would not believe in the branch’s fraud calls, nor would Black Jail.
However,
what he didn’t know was
that the branch in Thailand had been busted. He believed that even if Tang Qing could see through the kidnapping and extortion, he couldn’t locate those branches, because even he didn’t know their exact locations.
They operated independently,
mobile branches wouldn’t expose their location.
The reason was simple.
As long as they held personal information of branch personnel, they didn’t need to pinpoint their locations. Checking the personnel once a year was sufficient; for a branch whose location they themselves did not know, exposure was impossible.
Next,
all that remained was to see if Black Jail would make a move.
Targeting Tang Qing
was about creating leverage.
Whether successful or not,
the leverage was there.
This demonstrated that they had the capability to cause trouble; it was up to them how to deal with it. For a force that, while active solely in Africa and not linked to any "Director," showed no fear.
"Tang Qing, what exactly is your relation with Black Jail?" the Caucasian muttered.
Tang Qing’s rise
was too rapid,
too smooth.
Abnormality.
Extremely abnormal, and it was because of Black Jail that they had taken a closer look at Tang Qing, finding his ties with Black Jail to be very unclear with many odd incidents occurring in the past two years.
For instance, initially ending three world-class Assassin Organizations and eight top world contraband dealers through fruit wine had left many clues unresolved.
It was also the event that frightened many.
To this day,
no Assassin Organization dared take on tasks related to Ling.
One of the heads of an Assassin Organization,
and that big shot in Mexico, were also two "Directors" of "Kovalro," availing an open Director position for Blackwater, who was considered "somewhat capable."
Previously, they had suspected "Tongtian," but since "Tongtian" never dealt in homicides and they couldn’t even confirm the behind-the-scenes players in "Tongtian."
Could it be
that "Kovalro" had aged?
It had been a century.
The Caucasian smiled helplessly, indeed, "Kovalro" was getting old, but he wouldn’t admit that "Kovalro" was slow to act, just that the adversaries were hidden too deeply.
Nevertheless,
no matter how well hidden,
he would dig them out.
It had been a while.
Since he encountered such an intriguing adversary, this challenge he enjoyed. If Black Jail did not respond, next time, it wouldn’t just be sending a few men with cold weapons.
In the end,
they would surely win.
...
Under the Command Room’s direction,
special operations squads around the globe began their missions. These fighters were responsible for the arrests, to be replaced later by newly exchanged fighters. Due to a vast discrepancy in combat power, they had to catch them by surprise.
Just like that,
within just twenty-four hours,
eleven of "Kovalro’s" tier-four mobile branches were busted.
Due to the secrecy of the operation,
upper branches unaware of the lower, and the lower of the upper, the entire action went unnoticed by "Kovalro." Some of the mobile branches, already overtaken by fighters who began issuing tasks,
simultaneously,
continued to refine the membership information of "Kovalro."
Searching upwards for the tier-three branch locations.
Until they,
found the Headquarters.
Since information about all members was held at the highest levels of "Kovalro," the fighters did not try to turn them, instead waiting to gain control of "Kovalro’s" nerve center to start this task.
"Kovalro" wanted to use Tang Qing to lure out Black Jail.
Tang Qing was also thinking about what to use to lure out their stronghold.
Thus,
another "panic-inducing" task commenced.
