Ms. Maria was a thorn in the side of drug lords.
His street speech offended the Star Alliance Country, or more precisely, the Star Alliance Country Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
In a godforsaken place like Mexico, offending both of these forces at the same time means even dying a decent death is a pipe dream.
That's why the lady made such a generous promise as "private military power."
She made a wise decision!
Just two days after the roadside speech, in the northern Caribbean Sea, in a small country called "Haidi".
The sounds of silenced weapons were heard repeatedly from inside the presidential palace, along with the thud of a person falling to the ground.
The presidential palace was littered with corpses, all of them fully armed men, each with a gunshot wound to the head, but their bulletproof vests were undamaged.
Not long after, the presidential palace was cleaned up.
Only the president and his wife remained, trembling on the sofa in the living room, staring in fear at the three figures of two men and one woman.
The nearly one hundred-strong guard was wiped out in three minutes. The president vaguely guessed the identity of the newcomers, and forced himself to remain calm, saying:
"You're the Foreign Intelligence Bureau's janitors! Listen! We can talk..."
"No need, Mr. President."
A frivolous-looking white man approached.
He had his hair slicked back, a small mustache on his lip, and smiled warmly:
"I'm Royd, it's nice to meet you."
After speaking, Royd swiftly drew his pistol and blew the president and his wife's heads off, then instantly holstered the gun.
The whole process was so fast that there was only one gunshot.
Royd asked his companion, "Anna, how many seconds did I take?"
Anna, a tall, silver-haired woman, shrugged and said, "0.18 seconds."
"Not bad, within the normal range."
Royd sat down on the sofa, right between two corpses with their eyes rolled back in shock.
He placed his hand on the corpse's shoulder and said, "It seems there were two children too."
Upon hearing this, Anna and another man immediately began searching the presidential palace.
Soon, they found two terrified little boys in the dressing room.
One of the older ones bravely stood in front, arms outstretched.
Anna pulled out a grenade, pulled the pin, threw it into the room, and then closed the door.
With a loud bang, the door burst open, billowing black smoke, leaving the room a mess of severed limbs.
Royd laughed as he stood up, "You're really cruel."
"On the contrary, this is the only mercy I have left."
Anna looked at the third person who had remained silent.
This was a burly man with a full beard, as imposing as a bear. He was gazing at the two mutilated corpses of children, his expression filled with regret.
The mission was accomplished, and the three were about to leave.
Just then, their phones both buzzed at the same time.
Another new task has arrived. Royd frowned as he looked at Ms. Maria's photo on his phone.
"What if my vacation is ruined and I develop PTSD?"
Anna turned to Lu Li's page and said calmly, "This job can also take advantage of the drug lord's bounty of 30 million dollars."
"30 million dollars! Screw PTSD!"
Royd's mood improved again, and he called to his two companions as they left the presidential palace.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Lu Li was in the hotel, being helped by Jessica and Teresa to put on a suit.
There will be a fundraising dinner tonight, so formal attire is required.
This was the third day since the incident, and the woman continued to publicly criticize the Star Alliance Country, demonstrating her toughness.
His approval rating has been rising steadily and is about to exceed the critical point of 50%, indicating a very favorable situation.
Interestingly, the very same bigwigs who had previously tried so hard to distance themselves from the issue actually took the initiative to host this "fundraising dinner" to raise campaign funds for the woman.
"As long as you have the ability, countless people will naturally fawn over you; it's the same everywhere."
Lu Li sighed softly. The two girls had finished getting him ready, and then she began to change into her formal dress.
The two foreign women chatted and laughed as they took off their clothes, showing no intention of hiding their true identities from Lu Li.
Lu Li secretly compared them and found that they both had pretty good figures, slender and full-figured.
Little did he know, danger was already creeping in!
At that moment, a Gulfstream G650 private jet landed at Guadalajara International Airport.
Royd and his two companions disembarked from the plane carrying their equipment cases. He put his fingers in his mouth and licked them, then took them out and let the air dry them.
"Temperature 20°C, humidity 60%, light breeze, good weather for sniping."
Royd devised tactics as he walked:
"Anna and I infiltrated the hotel, Brown Bear used an anti-materiel sniper rifle... Oh, there's an inside man? This mission is so easy it's almost boring. Let's finish this quickly and go on vacation."
Anna and the Brown Bear remained expressionless and said little.
Such a surprise attack, which takes full advantage of every aspect, can indeed seem rather boring to experienced players.
~~~~~~~~~~
At 8 p. m., Lu Li and his group arrived at the "Tia Hotel" on time.
In the opulent banquet hall, countless successful people raised champagne to congratulate Ms. Maria.
The atmosphere was very lively, but Lu Li didn't like this kind of socializing.
He subconsciously focused on the woman's side, while his mind pondered the issue of [Sword Control].
Infusing one's mind into the flying sword is not merely about making it fly faster, but also about making it sharper.
That's why Fan Shouyi's Peach Wood Sword was able to easily break through Xia Weiyin's body.
Lu Li had some thoughts on this.
He extended his index finger to hold his mind, condensing and compressing it to the extreme, making it as thin as an A4 sheet of paper, and gently slicing it against the wine glass in his hand.
With a "snip," the rim of the cup was cut off.
"It works on a similar principle to the 'Honeycomb Shield,' continuously condensing and compressing the mind to transform it into an invisible blade."
"In this way, combined with the inherent sharpness of the carbide, the attack power will definitely increase dramatically!"
Lu Li patted the backpack on his back, eager to try it out.
Sensing its master's emotions, the flying sword pulsed a few times within it.
At that moment, Lu Li's ears twitched; he heard some strange noises.
After undergoing internal organ Organ Refining Martial Arts, he also acquired the physical attributes and senses of a tiger, and immediately determined:
"That's the sound of a silenced pistol firing!"
Lu Li heard it perfectly.
At this moment, in the hotel lobby.
Royd and Anna, both dressed in sharp suits, walked toward the reception desk.
The lobby manager nodded slightly and said politely with a smile, "Welcome to the Tia Banquet Hall. Please show your invitation."
Royd asked gently, "What's your name?"
The manager, a kind woman in her forties, greeted him with a smile, "My name is Susan, sir..."
"Hello, Susan, I'm Royd."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Royd produced an FN57 pistol and fired it with a bang.
The female manager wore a polite smile, but a bullet had pierced her forehead, and her brains were splattered on the wall behind her.
Royd and Anna immediately opened fire on the other waiters and security guards in the lobby, killing all 12 people present in less than 5 seconds.
Royd straightened his suit, which was gleaming strangely, and chuckled:
"We need to go inside for the banquet."
[Receive!]
500 meters away, Brown Bear had set up an anti-materiel sniper rifle on the rooftop and had already aimed at Lu Li.
I had an upset stomach, but I'm updating as soon as I feel a bit better.
