The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 352 Hungry Wolf
Chantela, southern Mexico.

Hawke, with a thick beard and a golden wig, and Erica, with black hair and eyebrows and two moles on her face, entered the large courtyard surrounded by high walls.

A brown-haired muscular man in his thirties came over.

Erica introduced: "This is Angulo, the one who led the team."

Hawke shook his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The pay is good, so it's not hard work. Angulo said with a smile: "This is my job."

The three of them entered the villa together.

There is also a person in the house who is responsible for central communications.

Hawke took the lead and asked directly: "What's Buddy Ackerman's situation now?"

Angulo took out a map of Chantra, put it on the table, and pointed to a place near the southern part of the city. "This is the Golden Tequila Hotel, the only three-star hotel in the area. Buddy Ackerman and his group of 12 are currently living in the hotel. The hotel does not have an underground parking lot, so it is easier to monitor. We can confirm that he did not come out after entering, as if he was waiting for someone."

He pointed to the other side of the map and said, "There is a military stationed here. It is the largest military camp in Mexico near Guatemala, with more than 2000 soldiers. It is less than ten minutes' drive from the hotel."

Erica asked, "Buddy is connected to the local garrison?"

"Two Mexican officers with the rank of colonel came to the hotel," Angulo said.

Hawke stroked his fake beard and said, "It's not a good place to do this."

Erica agreed: "Even if we succeed in attacking the hotel, it will be difficult to escape the army's pursuit afterwards."

Although the Mexican army is very weak, it is much better than the ordinary Mexican police. The border guards will most likely have armored vehicles or helicopters.

Not to mention these two types, the large number of pickup trucks equipped with machine guns is also unbearable.

Hawke said, "Keep an eye on them and see what they do first."

Angulo said, “Yes.”

Ten minutes later, Campos and Garcia arrived here.

"The rest of the people and equipment were placed in the south." Campos said quickly, "Juan checked with his informant in Rosario and found that during the time when Buddy's plane crossed the US-Mexico border, many elite security personnel at the medical center left their posts and have not appeared since then."

Erica drew a line with her finger from Rosario to Chantra in the south and said, "This distance is too far. They probably won't drive here. They will most likely take a plane. I think it's about time."

Hawke was also staring at the map. "Not counting the crew, that business jet can only accommodate a dozen people. Buddy's goal should be to go south. This place is too close to the border between Mexico and Guatemala."

Everyone's eyes fell on Guatemala on the map.

…………

In the best suite on the top floor of the Tequila Gold Hotel, Buddy Ackerman was sitting in front of his computer, checking the California news on the Internet.

Public opinion almost overwhelmed the Donald Trump Party leaders in California, and the reputations of Nunes, Myers, Willie Brown and others were ruined. The California State Assembly initiated an investigation.

Kerry's running mate Edwards announced his withdrawal from the election.

The Avalon Club on Catalina Island, the Ackerman Estate in Beverly Hills, the beach house in Malibu, the Ackerman Medical Center in Orange County and Maryland, and the Ackerman Charitable Foundation headquarters temporarily rented in West Los Angeles after the Los Angeles fire, etc., have all been sealed off by the FBI.

Fixed assets worth more than 2 billion US dollars were all gone.

Instigated by the media, thousands of victims of the Ackerman family emerged in Los Angeles, many of whom have announced that they will sue the Ackerman family.

The FBI held its first press conference on the case yesterday afternoon. Jennifer Huey, who is in charge of the case, announced some details of the Ackerman family case. In addition to the crimes of the Ackerman family exposed by the media, the FBI also rescued six people who had been imprisoned for a long time in the Ackerman Manor...

Buddy seemed particularly silent. In this sudden incident, the Ackerman family lost all its fixed assets in America, and all his captive blood bags were also lost.

He suffered a crushing defeat and had to flee in his later years, but fortunately, he still had several hundred million dollars in several unregistered accounts at UBS.

As Buddy browsed through the relevant news, he became increasingly aware that the severity of this case was almost as serious as the Los Angeles riots in 1992.

These shitty things are really a cycle. I did so much in the past, including bribing many policemen who beat up black people, and now I have to pay it all back.

The butler and security captain Utterson entered the room together.

Buddy closed the webpage and asked the housekeeper: "No news from Sean yet?"

"No." The butler replied softly, "There is no report about Sean."

He added: "Many members of the family have been arrested by the FBI, and the FBI has blocked the news. We can't contact Los Angeles. Barack, Fernando, Robert Lee, your nephews, nieces, and two sisters are all out of contact."

Buddy sighed: "It's likely that he's been controlled by the FBI."

Utterson reminded: "Boss, the people led by Pandis will come before dark. They will get off the plane from Soloma in the north and buy some vehicles and weapons."

Buddy nodded: "Weapons are easy to talk about. I have already negotiated with Colonel Cody."

Utterson was relieved. They came out in a hurry and only brought some pistols and submachine guns that were easy to hide.

Buddy looked at the butler and said, "Please arrange the planes and have them fly to Russia."

Although the business jet is very valuable, it is necessary to give it up at this time: "We will drive south to the mining company in Honduras as planned."

The butler, who had followed him for decades, suggested: "Honduras is still too close to North America, and Russia..." But Buddy raised his hand to interrupt him: "America knows how to find excuses when doing things, but Russia is a hungry wolf that will pounce on us and eat our meat. If we go there, we will be eaten without even a bone left."

America sucks, and the Russians aren't any good either.

Outside the hotel is Chantra's busiest commercial district, with people and vehicles coming and going constantly.

A team sent by Erica arrived almost at the same time as Chantra and set up a surveillance circle with the hotel as the center.

Most of these people are from Southern California, and many speak fluent Spanish.

In addition to them, five observers sent by Bosk from the Hurricane Mercenary Company were also distributed around the hotel.

Two of them even disguised themselves as a couple, stayed in the hotel, and kept an eye on Buddy's captain.

Everyone, even Buddy Ackerman, believed that the sudden series of storms in California were ultimately aimed at the 55 electoral votes, for political gain, and to take down the president.

Because from various perspectives such as resource allocation and practical interests, the general election is the most important.

But Hawke's real purpose in planning all this was to destroy the Ackerman family.

Several off-road vehicles drove over from a distance, and a Land Cruiser in the lead stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Pandis got out of the car and entered the hotel with his deputy Monterey.

Utterson was waiting for them in the hotel lobby. He waved to the two of them, and they went into the elevator together and took the elevator upstairs.

When he came out of the elevator, Utterson noticed something twisting in Pandis's bag and asked warily, "What's going on?"

Pandis opened his bag, revealing a large lizard. "This is my pet. It will be hard for her to come back this time, so I have to take her with me."

Utterson didn't say anything more, but just cursed the Indian inwardly for being crazy.

Then he entered the suite and Pandis stepped forward: "Boss, I'm here."

Buddy nodded at him: "Everyone is here."

Pandis said: "Some people are used to being comfortable, marrying and having children in Rosario, and are unwilling to leave. I only brought 30 people."

Buddy felt much more relieved and said to Utterson, "Contact Colonel Cody and receive the weapons after dark. Money is not a problem."

Utterson replied, “Yes.”

"Has the flight route been approved?" Buddy saw the butler nod and said, "Have someone disguise themselves and report under my false identity. Have the plane leave Chantra before dark, and head to Russia."

The housekeeper said, "I have arranged everything."

Buddy waved his hand: "Everyone go back and rest, we will set off tomorrow morning."

Before dark, the crew and two vehicles left the hotel and arrived at Chantra Birla Airport.

Soon, the business plane took off with its final destination being Europe.

…………

At nine o'clock in the evening, the villa surrounded by high walls was brightly lit.

Most of the three parties involved in this operation gathered here, except for a small number of people who were there for observation and surveillance.

The Ferguson family’s security company action team, the elite personnel of the Butterfly Company, and the Hurricane mercenaries.

The latter collaborated with Hawke several times.

Including the previous life, Hawke has worked with them more than ten times, and nothing has gone wrong.

The Butterfly group arrived the latest. They shipped weapons to Mexico through Campos's channels, and chartered a small propeller cargo plane at a high price to rush here.

In the room on the second floor of the villa, Hawke, Erica, Campos, Bosque and Angulo were exchanging the latest information and determining the next plan of action.

Bosque touched his beard and said, "As for the hotel, although the target has checked out, and someone wearing his clothes and similar equipment has left for the airport, I can guarantee that the target is still in the hotel."

He gave his reasons: "In the afternoon, a group of people came to join the target. Instead of leaving, they went to the vicinity of the military camp and received a batch of vehicles and ammunition."

Campos agreed: “This is consistent with what Juan observed.”

Angulo added: "My people followed, but the transaction location was near the military camp and there were no buildings around to protect them, so they didn't dare to get too close."

Hawke looked at the map hanging on the wall and said, "If the target left by plane, there would be no need to make so many moves. He must have chosen to go south and cross the border between Mexico and Guatemala."

Bosque said: "Man, don't fight in Mexico. The distance from Chantela to the border is too close. Don't underestimate any regular army. Once we alarm them, it will be difficult for us to escape when they come over."

Hawke pointed to the south of the border and said, "We started in Guatemala. Before coming here, I did some research. The northern part of Guatemala is in chaos, with gangs and armed groups everywhere, and social order is a mess. There are only a few symbolic people on the US-Mexico border, which can basically be ignored."

Bosque came closer and said, "That's right, so we'd better do it in Guatemala."

Hawke thought for a moment, then said to Angulo and Bosque, "You continue to have people keep an eye on the target and find a way to install trackers on their cars."

Bosque responded: "Leave it to me."

"We're crossing the border now to Guatemala to make some preparations," Hawke said.
