Chapter 649: Chapter 420: A Company in Foreign Disguise_2

If they had received timely medical treatment after being shot, there wouldn’t have been such a problem considering their physical fitness.

Elijah knew that Lincoln was now out of life-threatening danger, so he stopped and said to Sean Knight:

"Boss, we have achieved our goal this time, but there have been accidents."

It turns out that as soon as Elijah and his two comrades infiltrated Chris’s country, they began reconnaissance work.

Following the addresses provided by Loachie, they observed one by one and found that Chris didn’t live in any of those three places but rather in an inconspicuous villa.

After confirming Chris’ location, the three made a combat plan, with Elijah and Douglas Cooper entering the villa to take action, while Lincoln provided support from a high point outside.

Elijah and Douglas’ actions went very smoothly. They entered the villa, killed the guards, found Chris, and completed the mission.

Not only that, but Elijah and Douglas also searched the villa and staged a robbery to cover up their mission.

However, just as they were searching for Chris’ money, a warning from Lincoln came through their communication devices, followed by gunshots outside, alerting the two of trouble.

Apparently, while Elijah and Douglas were in action, two cars arrived outside with about a dozen people.

Each of these individuals carried guns, and it was unclear if they were Chris’s subordinates or if they were there to cause trouble for him.

Lincoln issued a warning to them while simultaneously opening fire to attract their attention.

Indeed, these people were attracted by Lincoln and immediately started shooting and searching for his hiding place.

As Lincoln fought and retreated, Elijah and Douglas crawled out of the villa and attacked the group from behind.

Unexpectedly, these people turned out to be experts in jungle warfare. After realizing that there were only three of them, they immediately split into two groups and counterattacked.

Elijah and his comrades went around in circles and joined up with Lincoln, fighting and retreating all the while.

Despite being Special Forces soldiers, they struggled in this unfamiliar environment and were outnumbered and outgunned.

It was in this situation that Lincoln was injured.

However, they knew that if they didn’t quickly kill these people, they might not even be able to make their escape later on.

So, they pretended to be injured, ran out of bullets, set booby traps, lured the enemies in close, and then detonated the explosive, killing most of the pursuers before escaping.

The gunfire drew even more people. Some tried to intercept the pursuers, while others chased after Elijah and his comrades.

This rendered their initial plan to treat Lincoln’s wounds after shaking off the pursuers fruitless.

The three could only keep running in this direction.

After crossing two countries, they finally shook off their pursuers but were discovered by South Vietnamese militiamen who reported them to the police.

Luckily, they were familiar with the local customs and managed to shake off the police pursuit by design, finally reaching the seaside and sending a message to Sean Knight.

Sean hadn’t expected the mission to be so arduous and winding, so he apologized and said:

"It’s also my fault. If I had known earlier, I should have just posted a reward on the dark web without letting you guys go."

Elijah shook his head and said:

"The three of us were also careless. For the past two years, everything has been going smoothly, and after being empowered, we can clearly feel much stronger than before.

So, we took some things for granted, thinking it was just a small matter, and underestimated the enemy."

He said mockingly:

"In fact, we now understand that even if the three of us are the best soldiers, how many people can we stop? Five? Ten? Twenty?

Truth be told, if the enemy would only send a battalion of troops and apply the right tactics, we, no matter how powerful, still can’t win!"

From the looks of it, Elijah was sincere when saying this.

"There is no need to be so disheartened," said Sean Knight, worried about them losing their sharp edge. "Your abilities are not about assaulting or outnumbering the enemies..."

"Don’t worry, boss. We understand our strengths," said Douglas from the side. "We also know our capabilities. If something similar happens again in the future, we won’t be this careless."

Sean nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that the reason their army could maintain high morale and achieve feats that terrified their enemies was due in large part to learning from their mistakes and summarizing their experiences.

As long as Elijah and the others don’t lose heart, they will only get stronger.

Looking at Lincoln, who was still unconscious, he thought to himself, "This is the price of growth, isn’t it?"

With a stable place to rest and heal, plus the bullet removed and the bleeding stopped, Lincoln woke up the next morning.

Upon awakening, Sean Knight took out another golden mask and let Lincoln Harrington absorb its energy.

This thing was much more effective than feeding him porridge and injecting him with nutrients.

Seeing Lincoln waking up, Elijah Hastings and Douglas Cooper also breathed a sigh of relief.

Douglas jokingly said:

"Lincoln, when you’re better, you really have to thank me. I finally knew what it is like to carry a heavy weight. I didn’t feel it when I carried you normally, but it wasn’t easy carrying you while injured!"

"No problem, whenever you’re in the same situation, I’ll carry you like this too." Lincoln responded with a grin.

"Screw your jinx!" Douglas laughed and cursed.

Elijah brought the big bag in front of Sean and opened it.

"This is the stuff we got from Chris."

Sean waved his hand:

"You guys have risked your lives for these things. Deal with it yourselves."

He had no intention of taking these things. They had indeed risked their lives for them.

Seeing Sean insisting, Elijah didn’t continue the conversation.

At this time, Robert called, and Sean went to answer the phone.

"I’ve looked into the Tundra Mining Company. In short, there’s no big problem with the company itself. The problem is with the decision-makers at the company. So if you want to buy it, it’s actually a good idea."

"Does that mean if I buy it, all I need to do is replace the decision-makers and find suitable managers to get the mining company up and running immediately?"

"Of course. However, you need to provide a good mine so that the company can maintain profits, or else it will be a heavy burden for you..."

"That’s no problem. The reason I want to buy a mining company is that I’ve found a mine but don’t have the ability to mine it."

"Congratulations, then. I’ll send you detailed information about Tundra Mining, and you can decide whether to buy it yourself."

Sean hung up the phone, took out his computer, connected to the mobile’s wifi, opened his mailbox, and began browsing the email Robert sent over.

"Boss, are you buying a mining company?"

Elijah asked from the side.

The yacht was not that big, and Sean was not speaking quietly, so naturally, he could hear.

"Yes," Sean said while looking at the information, "I have some money, and my investments in the Americans’ industries are not safe. I think I need to change my investment direction.

When I was searching for the treasure in Outer Mongolia, I found a mine and thought it was necessary to work on it..."

"Then take me with you..." Elijah’s eyes lit up, "This time, we brought back a lot of property in the major cities around the world.

We don’t need those things, and selling them will give us some money. This money is just sitting there, and I think it’s not bad to invest it with you boss..."

Sean looked up and glanced at Elijah.

"Is this your idea or have you all thought about it?"

Elijah laughed and said:

"It’s just my idea on a whim."

"Then it’s your idea. That money is for the three of you, so you better ask them clearly. Investing is not a problem, but there are risks, which you know.

My money is more than yours, and I can afford the risk. But you guys are different."

Elijah nodded and said:

"I’ll go ask them now. Anyway, we still need your help to deal with those things."

Sean remembered that Robert helped him last time, and said:

"Of course, no problem. But we’ll have to lose some money."

"As long as it’s for free, it doesn’t matter if we lose some."

Sean quickly decided to buy the Tundra Mining Company. He planned to invest 1.4 billion to offset the company’s debts.

Kathy Lewis was in charge of the specifics, and Sean discussed the matter of dealing with the properties with Robert.

At this time, on the Southeast Peninsula, a series of chain reactions had appeared due to Chris’s death!
