Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Everyone immediately sensed something was wrong and became alert.

At that moment, Old Evil's voice suddenly came through the headset: "The other party has a locator, we're being tracked!"

"What?!" Barney angrily punched Stone Banks in the face, then shouted to everyone, "A helicopter is catching up!"

Everyone looked out the window and sure enough, a helicopter was chasing them directly.

Although it was a civilian helicopter, the crew on board were carrying a Stinger missile.

They aimed directly at their vehicle and pulled the trigger.

The missiles were so fast that they didn't have time to react.

It blasted straight at them, and after a loud bang, the entire car flew into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, the vehicles Chen Jiajun acquired were all civilian-modified armored transport vehicles.

Although they were hit by a "poison sting," it didn't affect the people inside too much; most of them were knocked unconscious by the shockwave.

Barney's car was attacked, but Chen Jiajun's car was prepared.

"Old Evil, take a few men and shoot down the helicopter for me!" Chen Jiajun's face was rather grim; he hadn't expected to be outmaneuvered.

Without saying a word, the old evil spirit, along with several ghost demons, nimbly climbed onto the roof of the car.

At that moment, the guys in the helicopter picked up a second Stinger.

However, this time the old villain didn't give them a chance to make a move. After the car came to a stop, he simply waved his hand.

Several Ghost Demons, armed with sniper rifles, pointed their guns at the helicopter and decisively pulled the triggers.

These ghostly demons are all natural-born archers.

The leader, Ghost Demon, shot the mercenary operating the "Stinger" in the forehead with a single shot, and the mercenary collapsed on the spot.

The ensuing chain reaction was terrifying. The Stinger missile had already entered the launch sequence and struck the helicopter directly. With a loud bang, the pursuing civilian helicopter turned into a fireball and crashed heavily to the ground.

This startled the pursuing mercenaries.

The old man coldly stared at the pursuing mercenaries and continued, "Open fire at will, kill them all!"

Upon hearing the old evil's order, the ghost demons opened fire at will.

Soon, the mercenaries who rushed over fell down in droves, like wheat under a sickle.

This frightened the mercenary commander, who immediately began looking for cover and dared not swagger towards them any longer.

Even more bizarrely, some guys actually imitated those black men from Africa, raising their guns above their heads and playing the "faith shooting" game with Lao E and his gang, which almost made Lao E laugh in exasperation.

The old evil spirit personally led his ghost demon subordinates to sneak up on them, and then gave them a big surprise.

In less than ten minutes, the mercenaries who rushed over to provide support were all wiped out.

Only then did Old Evil lead his men to open the car and drag out the unconscious members of the suicide squad one by one.

But when it was Stone Banks' turn, the old villain suddenly snorted and threw several throwing knives at him.

Stone Banks didn't pass out; in fact, he even tried to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Unfortunately, he encountered an old villain!

Left with no other option, Stone Banks opened his eyes, fired a few shots at the old villain, and then turned and ran.

Moreover, this guy was extremely despicable. After seeing that the old man dodged the first shot, he simply pointed the gun at the unconscious Barney on the ground.

Old Evil had no choice but to abandon his pursuit of Barney, unable to watch him die in front of him. He swung his knife in front of Barney, deflecting all the bullets.

"Boss, Stone Banks has escaped!" Old Evil said helplessly to Chen Jiajun, "That guy is a real cunning fellow!"

"Let him go if he's gone. He's not the main point anyway. Let Barney go with him and have some fun!" Chen Jiajun said indifferently. His main target was the Soviet mob boss who was dealing with Stone Banks, not that damned arms dealer.

When Barney and the others regained consciousness, they found the ground littered with corpses.

Shaking his somewhat dazed head, he then saw the old villain wearing military boots.

"Where's Stone Banks?" was the first question Barney asked after regaining consciousness.

The old man shrugged and said, "When we rescued you, we ran away!"

"They ran away?" Barney was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened.

Old Evil said calmly, "Now is not the time to talk about this. The other side has a locator, and their mercenaries will be here soon. I think we should go!"

Although Barney was extremely unwilling, he knew that now was not the time to talk about these things.

They had to wake up the other team members, and after everyone squeezed into a car, they immediately left the scene.

After leaving the city of Romania, we arrived at an abandoned ancient castle.

This place has become a ruin due to local war.

However, it's not a problem to settle down temporarily, and it will allow us to evade capture.

They parked the car directly in the ruins, covered it up, and then decided to rest there for the night before discussing anything else.

Chen Jiajun and his group led the old man from the Soviet gang into an abandoned room, hung him up, and began interrogating him about his relationship with the Ether Society.

According to Old Evil's intelligence, this old man should be a black glove of the Ether Society.

This old man was in charge of doing shady work for the Ether Society, such as smuggling arms and buying and selling organs.

So he must know what Ether is about to do.

After Valentine's plan failed last time, many of the Ethereum Association's investments went down the drain.

Based on their logic, they would definitely try to make up for it elsewhere.

It is very likely that the deal between this old man from the Soviet mafia and Stone Banks is related to this matter.

So Chen Jiajun lost patience with the game and used the most brutal method to make the old man reveal the information he was talking about.

Meanwhile, Barney's group looked disheveled and dejected.

After all, this was the second time they had been defeated by Stone Banks.

If it weren't for Chen Jiajun and the others, they would probably have been wiped out by Stone Banks.

The crushing defeat dealt Barney a severe psychological blow.

After all, the Expendables have had such a smooth journey over the years, and they have never suffered such a blow, even in the most difficult times.

“Hey, Barney, about this…” Christmas wanted to comfort Barney.

But the Sage of Medicine stopped Christmas, shook his head, and said, "Let him have some peace and quiet!"

As a former teammate, The Doctor knew how devastating it was for Barney to suffer repeated defeats at the hands of Stone Banks.

This directly influenced the inside story of the Expendables' disbandment back then.

The doctor and Barney didn't tell anyone about this, because they didn't want the other team members to know.

This was practically Barney's inner demon.

No one but himself can offer any solace or comfort; he has to process it all on his own.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Jiajun had already made a breakthrough.

The old Soviet gangster couldn't hold out and confessed a lot of things.

"Indeed, this trip was the right one!" Upon hearing the news about the Ether Society's actions, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but smile.

Old Evil wiped the blood off his hands, nodded and said, "That's right. With this information from our old friend, we can indeed find out a lot about the Ether Society's movements. After we get back, we'll use our intelligence network to sort it out and we'll roughly know what these bastards are up to."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "I need a detailed report when I get back."

Old Evil nodded, then winked at Chen Jiajun and said, "I think Barney's mood is a bit off!"

Chen Jiajun glanced at the old man, who looked utterly decrepit, and scoffed, "What kind of mental state does he have? A fight will set him right off! I don't think Stone Banks will give up so easily." The old man said in surprise, "Right here?"

"Isn't that good?" Chen Jiajun sneered. "This place is far from the city center, so no matter how much trouble we cause, no one will care."

The old evil man nodded: "Indeed, then we..."

"Proactively reveal our location and wait for Stone Banks to send people over!" Chen Jiajun issued the order directly in a deep voice.

"Yes, boss!" Old Evil nodded.

Then Chen Jiajun walked out the door and yelled at Barney, "Barney, where the hell have you been?"

Barney then came to his senses and said to Chen Jiajun dejectedly, "Boss, did you need something?"

Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to go and rest? Stone Banks' mercenaries are coming soon. How are you going to fight them like this?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Barney was visibly taken aback.

Then, stammering, he said to Chen Jiajun, "M-M-Boss! You mean..."

Chen Jiajun said matter-of-factly, "You don't think Stone Banks will let this go, do you? Since you failed to kill him, he will definitely come for revenge."

"We're definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. Romania is under martial law right now. We might as well stay and fight a positional war with these guys."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Barney's eyes immediately lit up.

The members of the suicide squad were all eager to try.

After all, it was incredibly frustrating to let Stone Banks escape and then be outmaneuvered.

They couldn't help but want to vent.

So one by one they began to prepare their weapons and equipment, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

As Chen Jiajun had predicted, half an hour later, news came from Lao E.

Stone Banks did indeed arrive with his mercenaries.

These guys had been searching for Barney's whereabouts, and they rushed over as soon as Old Evil revealed his location.

"Wow, this guy has a huge force!" Chen Jiajun realized that the other side had not only deployed armed helicopters and armored vehicles, but even tanks.

This sight sent chills down the spines of the suicide squad members.

"Boss, we don't have any heavy weapons!" Christmas swallowed hard and said to Chen Jiajun with a helpless expression.

Chen Jiajun smiled mysteriously: "Who said there aren't any? I've gotten all the weapons that Stone Banks traded."

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun snapped his fingers, and his beastmen brothers brought over several large boxes.

These things were originally intended by Stone Banks to be traded with that Soviet mob boss.

Things like "Stinger" were standard equipment, and there were even thermite bombs.

Upon seeing this equipment, the members of the suicide squad immediately broke into smiles.

Especially Caesar, who was holding a heavy machine gun with his eyes shining.

Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if Chen Jiajun hadn't robbed Stone Banks back then, as he still had a lot of good stuff in his system space that he had just left there untouched.

You can just take it out whenever you want to use it; there's no need to worry at all.

With this heavy firepower, the suicide squad members felt relieved, and Barney began to assign combat tasks.

Moments later, two armed helicopters arrived first and began bombarding the abandoned castle.

Unfortunately, the fact that this ruin was able to withstand the ravages of war and still stand indicates that its structure is extremely stable.

Although it was bombed, there is no risk of it collapsing.

Barney and his men then opened fire on the armed helicopters with the captured weapons.

Since their firepower was strong enough, they didn't bother with guerrilla tactics and simply used rockets to cover the area.

The enemy's armed helicopter was shot down before it even had a chance to turn around, exploding into two fireballs.

In a makeshift operations room not far away, Stone Banks nearly ground his teeth to dust.

He immediately recognized that Barney and the others were using weapons he sold.

Using the weapons he sold to fight himself, and losing two armed helicopters in the process, left Stone Banks feeling extremely frustrated.

Since he had already determined the location of the suicide squad, he didn't hesitate to send his main force forward.

Stone Banks' mercenary group was no second-rate force; it consisted entirely of French foreign troops.

Its combat capabilities are renowned internationally.

Stone Banks spent a lot of money to hire this group of mercenaries to protect his safety.

He has now decided to simply overwhelm Barney and his group with sheer numbers.

When he was captured by Barney and his gang, Stone Banks had roughly counted the number of people.

Two vehicles, at most twenty people, which is nothing to a mercenary force of over a hundred.

So after gritting his teeth, Stone Banks immediately ordered everyone to take action.

Meanwhile, amidst the ruins, Barney saw the mercenaries surging towards him like a tide, but his face remained expressionless.

He remained remarkably calm as he gave orders: "Christmas, you take the medic and seal off point C! Caesar, point A is yours and Gunnar's! Barricade, follow me, we're going to point B. The rest, Old Evil is yours!"

Specialized people do specialized things; when it comes to intelligence gathering and assassination, Barney might not be a match for Old Evil.

However, when it comes to battlefield command, this veteran with many years of experience is much more reliable than the old evil one.

So Old Evil didn't say much and directly led his ghost demon subordinates to prepare.

The others also took their positions, waiting for the enemy to invade the building.

Soon, a large number of enemies invaded from the front. Caesar and Gunnar each had a heavy machine gun, forming a crossfire and firing directly at the enemy in front.

Heavy machine guns are simply killing machines on the battlefield; in no time, the front lines are littered with blood and flesh.

In a single encounter, at least a dozen enemies were annihilated.

However, their fighting style immediately attracted the attention of the opposing sniper.

A violent gunshot rang out, and stones flew everywhere from the cover where Caesar was hiding.

It was clearly being targeted by a large-caliber sniper rifle.

The two men were so frightened that they immediately hid back in their cover and dared not fire as they had before.

However, reinforcements from Old Evil's side arrived very quickly.

These Ghost Demons are even more outrageous than other snipers.

The accuracy was so high that anyone who showed their head was instantly killed. The sniper who was flanking Caesar and Gunnar had his scope pierced by a single shot, and half of his head flew off.
This boosted the morale of the suicide squad, allowing them to suppress the mercenaries who were surging forward like a tide.

Meanwhile, Barney and his men, each armed with a shotgun, guarded the passage tightly.

Even with grenades clearing a path, the enemy was unable to break through Barney's blockade.

Christmas and the doctor are both skilled with knives, and they usually prefer to let the enemy in and then eliminate them silently.

In short, although the enemy outnumbered Chen Jiajun and his men several times over, after a frenzied attack of more than ten minutes, not a single squad was able to break through.

This immediately alarmed the enemy mercenaries, who then pushed forward with tanks in preparation for a strong attack.

Faced with this unreasonable fighting style, Chen Jiajun snorted coldly and said directly to the mercenaries from Guojun Security Company beside him, "These tanks are yours to handle."

The dozen or so summoned young demon slaves grinned maliciously, donned heavy armor, and, carrying thermite bombs and similar contraptions, rode off-road motorcycles through a passage.

The mercenaries were clearly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the motorcyclists.

Stone Banks, who had been in command at the operations center, immediately changed his expression and yelled at the mercenaries through the communications system, "Stop those motorcycles!" (End of Chapter)
