I was a general in South America

The dramatic climax is about to begin.

Ronan Ennar was nothing but a skeleton in a tomb; a mere death could not satisfy Lucas.

The numerous crimes he committed in Manizales warranted that he die at the very center of the stage to fulfill his full potential.

He kept Alex Enal because he needed to use him to stabilize the North Valley Group and gradually eliminate the shadow hanging over Manizales.

The core of the Kitakura Group is Alex; as long as he doesn't fall, the riots won't happen!

Ronan Einar's idol is Pablo Escobar.

So let him be like his idol, and let him show his presence to all the people of Colombia.

Soon, the wind Lucas was waiting for arrived...

The convoy, bearing the logo of Colombian national television, drove straight into the second camp.

The car door opened, and a familiar and beautiful face appeared before everyone.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Lieutenant Lucas." Diana was still dressed in her professional attire, but the national goddess and aloof female host spoke with a slightly coquettish tone in her drawn-out voice.

"We have successfully completed our mission and arrived in Manizales after 350 kilometers and 4 hours."

"You've worked hard, Diana... The camp has prepared food; your men can go and have a bite to eat."

The roads in Colombia are not easy to drive on, but Diana's team really did a great job...!

After dealing with Alex, Lucas began thinking about how to capture Ronan Einar in order to maximize his profits.

His recent actions gave him some exposure to the nation, but that's far from enough...

Manizales is too remote. Although its location is important, in a poor country, only news from Medellín and Bogotá is more appealing.

To win the chips at the gambling table, Lucas must become a leading figure in Colombia's fight against drugs!

Then there is no way that can be more impactful than a nationwide live-streamed anti-drug operation.

So he contacted his old acquaintance, Diana Tuyval, but he didn't expect her to arrive so quickly.

So this is the power of connections?

"No need, Lucas... More than eating, everyone wants to know when the operation will begin. If you don't mind... I'd like to record the entire process, including the rapid reaction force's tactical deployment, so that it can be broadcast as a documentary after the actual operation is completed."

Diana's bright eyes showed no trace of travel fatigue, only excitement for the live-streamed drug bust.

When she heard Lucas make this suggestion over the phone, she immediately sensed the explosive potential.

In the Bogotá region, anti-drug operations have been broadcast live, but most of the time the media only get the news and rushes to cover them after the military and police have already taken action.

Often, by the time reporters arrive, the operation has already ended, or it has been obstructed and the military has kept them at a safe distance.

Live broadcasts that cover the entire drug bust process like this are almost nonexistent.

Diana's political acumen, honed by her family's scholarly tradition, made her realize what Lucas was up to...

This man wants to take advantage of me...!

But Diana didn't care; she admired Lucas's burning ambition...

He's different from everyone else...!

Participating in the live broadcast of this operation will also take her journalism career to the next level.

"I've owed a lot of favors to people because of this, and I even coordinated prime time on television so that more people could see that there are still people in this country fighting against cocaine!"

If you can talk, then talk more.

Not only is she beautiful, kind-hearted, and energetic, but she also has a surprisingly sweet tongue.

Lucas knew Diana's character well, which is why he dared to ask her for help... The persona he created wouldn't be used to film a documentary in the forest.

After all, this isn't a variety show...

There are no rearview mirrors in the jungle, and guerrilla bullets have no eyes; perhaps the only thing you can understand is language.

They also understood the weight of Diana's words about her lover. The Colombian national television station allocated a portion of prime time for the live broadcast, which was not a problem that could be solved with just a few words.

"Thank you, Diana," Lucas said sincerely. "I can agree to let the camera crew record the whole thing, but the live stream cannot show anything related to the operation plan, including your communication equipment which must be handed over temporarily."

Why did he set up the stage to perform? ...It was to showcase his talent and build his reputation!

He used Ronan Einar's life as a stepping stone to his own advancement.

The story behind Manizales, for example, not only won't bother him, but it can also reveal Lieutenant Lucas's contributions from various angles.

"No need to thank me. Our goals are the same. My family is also Colombian. Without the Colombian people, there would be no Tuivar family. I am just providing assistance to your fight against drug cartels within the scope of my ability."

Diana became unusually shy upon hearing Lucas's thanks.

"It is you who went to the battlefield, and we should be even more grateful to you. It is because of your existence that this country has not completely fallen."

Could you save these words for the live stream...?

"Alright, let's stop flattering each other. You all take a break. I'll notify you to start filming when we convene the operations meeting."

Lucas interrupted the mutual flattery with a laugh, just as he was about to let Moreno arrange for the team to go in and rest.

Diana suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You only said on the phone that the target was Ronan Einar, but what about Alex Einar?"

Upon hearing this, Lucas glanced at his beautiful, large eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"I mean, if possible... I'd like to conduct a solo interview with him, which is one of the conditions for securing a prime-time slot. If that's not convenient, you can also find someone to impersonate him and conduct a faceless interview."

"Anyway, not many people have heard of Alex Einar's voice."

Before Lucas could answer, Diana winked at him and then called to her team to start moving equipment to the camp.

Women who are too smart can't find partners...

Lucas gazed at the graceful figure from behind, lost in thought.

.......

According to information provided by Alex Ennar, the villa where Ronan was staying was a secret family residence.

After all, the true location of drug dealers' homes needs to be kept secret; revealing it casually would not only attract the military but also their competitors.

Like Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, even the cell phones of those around him don't have internet access, and the phone cards they use are discarded after each call.

Contact with buyers is all done via email... and then subordinates communicate over a public network.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Ronan's wife's secret residence has relatively weak security.

Especially now that he is on the run, it is even less likely that he will openly call for reinforcements.

Dealing with just a few cats and dogs, what's the point of having a tactical meeting...? A few RPG shots and they'll blow them senseless.

Of course, since the TV station has this requirement.

Lieutenant Lucas had to satisfy them as much as possible, and treat them with utmost care...

These materials will later become highlights of Lucas Bolivar Franco's career!
