The Wolf of Los Angeles.

By the time it was completely dark, Campos had captured a total of eight people, including the bald man who came earliest. Except for three people who came in at the same time and caused some trouble, the rest were all easily captured.

After a while, no one came back.

Campos brought out two people and interrogated them separately in two different rooms in the basement.

Guti, who used to be a doctor, came on the court again, took out the scalpel and blade he carried with him, and gave these people an injection to make their sense of touch clearer and their nerves more sensitive.

There are not many people who can endure torture, and these faithless mercenaries are definitely not among them.

Not long after, Campos got the information he wanted. The leader was the bald white man named Adams.

Among their group, there are eight others on duty outside, monitoring places such as Butterfly Security Company, Twitter's Coast Building, Mayor Brian's residence and the North Side of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills.

Because of the fixed-position surveillance from the periphery and never getting too close, these people have not been exposed yet.

Campos quickly arranged for his men to attack and captured the other eight bastards.

This was a temporary end to the situation, leaving enough people to continue waiting. Campos took the rest of the people and temporarily transferred the eight mercenaries to the warehouse.

People were detained and interrogated separately, and Guti was an expert in this area.

Few people can survive his scalpel.

…………

A new seven-story office building has been built diagonally opposite the Coast Building. It is filled with small office spaces that are specifically rented out to start-up companies.

The smallest office space on the seventh floor is being renovated and people come here every day.

A telescope and a camera were set up in front of the innermost window of the opening. Cisse and Payet were sitting in front of the window, eating and drinking beer while observing the main entrance of the Coast Building.

They have been here for two months and have gained something.

For example, Los Angeles Mayor Brian, Tom Cruise, Elon Musk, etc. often come to visit us on their own initiative.

These people can all be categorized as opposites.

It was pitch black outside and the building became unusually quiet.

Cisse picked up his phone: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Payet waved his hand.

Xisai wandered out and pushed the door into the men's room. Just as he put his hand on his belt, he suddenly felt something shoot into his neck.

He fell down with a thud and saw two men in black.

One of them picked up his phone.

A few more people entered the restroom, threw Xisai into the garbage truck, and pushed it towards the freight elevator.

After going downstairs and entering the enclosed van in the underground parking lot, Xisai, who had recovered a little, soon let out a scream.

A few minutes later, Payet, who was drinking beer, received a text message from Cisse.

"I forgot to bring toilet paper when I took a shit, please bring me some."

Payet put down the beer can, stood up and cursed, took a roll of toilet paper to the toilet, and shouted at the door: "I'm eating, and you let me smell the stench of the corpse. Tomorrow you have to treat me to a big meal..."

He pushed the door open and saw two figures out of the corner of his eye. He immediately threw away the toilet paper and wanted to pull out his gun.

With the slight sound of the Taser being fired, Payet's hand that touched the gun handle lost its strength and fell uncontrollably. He seemed to be dancing a strange dance and fell to the ground shaking.

Soon, those people came up again with a garbage truck and used the same method to transport the handcuffed Paye away through the freight elevator.

The two people responsible for using the Taser guns searched the office and found items such as cameras, storage disks, binoculars and telephoto cameras. After searching everything, they quickly evacuated.

In less than twenty minutes, everything was done here. Several cars and a van turned into different roads, changed vehicles in the middle, and returned to the meeting point.

When we entered the warehouse, we found that the other two cars had returned.

Juan, the leader of the team, asked, "What's the situation?"

Hierro smiled and said: "It took some effort, and I almost shot him, but I got it done."

All of the newly captured people wore black hoods, had their arms handcuffed behind their backs, and had their mouths sealed with duct tape.

The items they searched out included video cameras, still cameras, and the indispensable storage disks.

Campos checked it out and said, "Give it to Raul and the other two for temporary safekeeping. No one else is allowed to check it."

He looked at the others: "Has anyone seen this on the road?"

The others quickly shook their heads: "No."

Campos called Hawke's three bodyguards over, including Guti, who was interrogating the man, and Raul and Morientes.

Together with Campos, these things were temporarily kept by three people.

No one knows what these bastards have filmed. If there is something that shouldn’t be seen, it will be very troublesome...

Ten minutes later, the last group of people rushed back and also caught two people.

All the confiscated electronic equipment was temporarily placed with Raul.

Including those inside the villa, Campos arrested a total of 16 people.

Based on cross-verification of the testimonies of multiple people, these were the only people who came this time.

Campos deployed more than four times the number of men and launched a sudden attack without the other party noticing. Apart from using a Taser, the battle was resolved without firing a single shot.

These guys have been in LA for a few months and have clearly let their guard down.

Only three people suffered minor injuries, one of whom sprained his ankle while controlling the person being electrocuted.

The other two people engaged in close combat with the target and were punched several times.

Campos called Hawke and said, "Boss, the operation is over. All 18 people have been captured and are currently being held in Warehouse No. 1. Guti is leading people to interrogate them one by one. Some cameras have also been found..."

He described the situation here in detail.

"I'll be there right away." Hawke said a few words to Belin, called Edward, and headed straight for Warehouse No. 1.

On the way, he called Erica and the Special Operations Bureau withdrew the helicopter.

Erica drove over to meet him.

Hawke came to Warehouse No. 1, and Campos first took him to look at the captured mercenaries through the one-way glass.

Interrogations were taking place in several specially built rooms.

There were scattered spots of blood on the glass.

In one of them, Guti was interrogating a bald middle-aged man.

Campos said: "From what we have learned so far, this is a group of mercenaries from Latin America, led by this bald guy named Adams. They sneaked into Los Angeles a few months ago, mainly tracking and filming some people around you and Brian."

He asked Raul to bring the equipment and storage disks: "These were found in their villas and vehicles. No one has read the contents yet, so we don't know what they are."

Hawke took a few storage disks and said to Edward, "Go and take a look."

Edward took it and went to the car that came with the player.

Erica rushed over at this time, got out of the car and came to Hawke and asked, "Where are those bastards?"

Hawke pointed to one side and said, "Guti is entertaining them warmly. Wait a moment."

Taking advantage of this free time, the two learned the details of the incident.

Hawke guessed that this group of people either came from San Francisco or received orders from the East Coast.

After the two BlackRock bosses fell at the mouth of the Hudson River, people at the business level would have concerns even if they took action.

They can use high-end business warfare to deal with Hawke. If Hawke is not dead, what awaits them will be countless times more cruel revenge. After waiting for a while, Guti came over, wiped the blood stains on his face with a tissue, and said to Hawke with a smile: "Boss, he is very honest now, and he will tell you anything you ask."

Erica took a quick look and found that there was still some blood on Guti's teeth.

Hawke called Erica, and took Campos and Guti into the temporary interrogation room.

Bald Adams originally had a bald head, but now the hair on both sides of his head has been almost plucked out, and dense, tiny beads of blood are constantly oozing out.

His hands and legs were covered with wounds.

Adams' eyes widened immediately when he saw Hawke, and he said, "It's you! I realized it when I was caught. It couldn't be anyone else except you."

Hawke asked directly: "Who is behind you?"

"Let me ask you a few questions." Adams' face was full of confusion: "After you answer me, I will tell you whatever you ask."

Guti took a step forward and snorted coldly.

Adams' body unconsciously wanted to dodge, as if he had encountered a pervert who wanted to blow him up.

Hawke said, "Ask."

Adams took a few breaths, overcame his fear of Guti, and said, "I thought I was very careful. I repeatedly told my men not to get close. I would rather miss than make any rash moves. What gave me away?"

Hawke didn't think about letting them leave alive, and said, "There is an implant program in the electronic blueprint of the butterfly."

Adams was stunned for a moment, then said, "You have been prepared for this."

Hawke laughed at himself without hesitation: "After doing so many bad things, I have to be prepared for some things. Not only electronic drawings, but I have set traps in many places... Heh, you are indeed very cautious. If you get closer, you will be exposed sooner."

Erica suddenly thought of something about traps.

The earliest West Coast media studios were full of booby traps, especially the safe, which not only contained no important items, but was also electrified in case the other party was wearing gloves, and was also filled with extremely sharp needles.

"Now it's my turn to ask you." Hawke stared at Adams and asked, "Is the person who ordered you from San Francisco or New York?"

A scalpel appeared in Guti's hand.

Adams did not delay and said, "New York State Senator Hillary, the person who contacted me directly is called Huma Abedin, an Indian woman who serves as Hillary's assistant. We all call her the goddaughter of Hillary and Zipton."

Hawke really wasn't surprised at all, and said, "She sent you here to attack me?"

"She told us not to do anything. According to my analysis, she is also afraid of retaliation from you." Adams said the most important things, and the rest didn't matter: "She sent us to Los Angeles to collect all kinds of information that is unfavorable to you. If the opportunity is right, she will provoke an intensification of the conflict between you and San Francisco, but your conflict is already acute enough."

Hawke said, "Go on."

Adams coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said, "Recently, Abedin gave us new instructions from Hillary. In the Ackerman family case, Sean Ackerman and Melissa Ackerman, a pair of siblings, have never been found or their bodies found. She believes that this incident is related to the Ferguson family."

He bared his blood-red teeth and said, "You and the Ferguson family are the biggest beneficiaries after the collapse of the Ackerman family. Hillary asked us to find these two people to instigate a legal case and interrupt the trend of Los Angeles turning red."

Hawke understood: "You think they are in Butterfly Company?"

Adams nodded: "We are trying to find a way to sneak in and see if we can find anything."

Hawke asked a few more questions about Sierra.

Adams didn't know most of it. He said, "We are just mercenaries hired overseas by Zipperton and Silarie to do the dirty work for them. How could we possibly know those things?"

Hawke asked, "Did you do the helicopter crash at the mouth of the Hudson River?"

Adams said: "I participated, but I was just providing cover. The ones who did it were several other people in the company. They are good at creating accidents to kill people."

Hawke demanded, "Where are they?"

"I don't know. The incident I was out of was too long." Adams closed his eyes and thought for a while. "Maybe he was in the company, or maybe he was out for fun. They made hundreds of thousands of dollars on the last order."

Erica interrupted, "What's your company called? Where is it located?"

Adams opened his eyes, looked at her, and said, "The company is in Vaspan, on the border between Honduras and Nicaragua. It's called Vaspan Private Security Company."

Erica frowned: "I haven't heard of it."

Adams coughed and said, "Apart from training, we rarely carry out missions outside. Most of the time we are waiting for the call from Silaree or La Zipton. We are an armed force raised overseas by the La Zipton couple, specializing in doing some dirty work."

Hawke was not surprised because that is what the wealthy and powerful people in America do.

It's the same principle as weapons of mass destruction. You can choose not to use them, but you cannot be without them.

Not having a sword and having a sword but not using it are not the same thing.

Hawke continued to ask: "How many people are there in your company? How many teams like yours are there? Who is in charge?"

"There are more than 1999 combat personnel in the Waspan base, and there are four mercenary teams like mine." Adams said slowly, "The four teams are parallel and are under the management of Colonel Flynn. The colonel is stationed at the Waspan base and rarely goes out. He built this base when he was in power in Zipton. I joined in early . I served in the Marine Corps before that."

Guti sneered, "Fourth-class horse."

Adams' face changed, but when he saw that the person who said this was Guti, he softened instantly.

Once a person's spine is broken, it is difficult to straighten it up again.

Hawke asked, "Who is responsible for connecting with Colonel Flynn on Hillary's side?"

Adams said: "According to normal procedures, I didn't know about this, but this time, Colonel Flynn returned to his hometown of Frederick to visit his relatives and was infected with a strange infectious disease. He was temporarily admitted to the isolation ward of the hospital. After I led the team here, I directly contacted them. The person I contacted was Huma Abedin, whom I mentioned earlier."

Hawke understood: "In other words, your base in Vaspan does not have a real person in charge for the time being?"

Adams was slightly surprised. "It doesn't matter whether Colonel Flynn is there or not. When there is no Colonel Flynn, we all maintain normal training at the base. No one cares about us at other times. Only when a mission is issued will Colonel Flynn really take charge."

Hawke then carefully asked about the details of several other teams of mercenaries, and Adams told him one by one.

There was a camera next to him, recording everything Adams said.

As for the situation on Hillary's side, Adams knew very little about it. He could only confirm that the person who contacted him was Abedin, and he knew nothing else.

Adams is just a man who does his job for money, and the conflicts above are indeed not something he, who has been in Latin America for many years, can understand.

We can't directly find out what's wrong with Xilali from this person.

Of course, there is no use in throwing a mercenary out. No matter how powerful the mercenary is, he cannot stand up to scrutiny in such a high-end game.

To put it bluntly, they are just a knife.

Hawke asked some more questions and then came out of the interrogation room.

Relevant interrogation records were also produced in other interrogation rooms, and after verification from multiple sources, it was found that what Adams said was basically the truth.

After Hawke finished reading it, he said to Campos, "Contact Hurricane Company and ask Bosco to send a team of capable personnel to Vaspan for preliminary reconnaissance."

Hurricane is now divided into two parts, one in Ethiopia, to ensure the so-called Greening Africa program.

The other part, which is headquartered in Costa Rica, has many staff members of Hispanic descent, so going to Honduras and Nicaragua is not a problem.

Campos will contact you.

Edward got out of the car, walked over quickly, and said to Hawke, "I browsed it at high speed. There is no particularly sensitive content. Most of it is travel records of us taken from a very long distance, as well as people entering and leaving some of our places. I will take a closer look when I get back."

He glanced at Erica who was checking the AKM not far away, and said in a low voice: "Meghan was photographed a few times."

Hawke waved his hand: "It's okay."

Edward said no more.

Campos came back at this time and said, "Bosque will send people out now. He has heard of Vaspan's mercenary base before, but he doesn't know its relationship with Silari."

Erica came over with an AKM, with a murderous look on her face: "Silaly sent the mercenaries here first, which has broken the tacit understanding. I suggest that we directly eliminate this overseas armed organization."

Hawke agreed: "They have already run in front of us and jumped sideways. If we don't fight back, it will only make them take more risks."

Things like this are all about constant testing. At first, you'll poke it gently with a needle. If you don't react, you'll poke it harder with the needle. If the reaction is still not intense enough, you'll stab it directly with a knife.

Hawke looked at Erica: "Call Brian, we need to have a meeting." (End of this chapter)
