Chapter 461 - Crazy Martin and His Crazy Old Partner
Chapter 461 Crazy Martin and His Crazy Old Partner
Selina suddenly exclaimed, “Luke, Martin’s crazy!”
Luke: “Huh?” He turned his head, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
In the surveillance image, Martin stuck his head out from the passenger side with a cylindrical object on his shoulder.
Swoosh! BOOM!
A string of flames was launched from the cylinder and hit the back of the bodyguard car that was trying to cut Roger’s car off.
The speeding black SUV was abruptly sent flying rear first as it drew a graceful, fiery arc in the air.
Then… with a deafening sound, it hit Tijuana’s landmark stainless steel arch.
Luke: “…”
Selina: “…”
Okay, Martin was definitely crazy. He had used an RPG-26.
Was he nuts?! Was that something to be used on cars?
Massive chaos broke out around the arch. People were yelling and screaming as they tried to quickly get away from the danger.
Luke had to slow down to make way for the panic-stricken passers-by.
However, he now couldn’t be bothered to worry about Roger and Martin. These two were definitely going to be punished after this. All that remained to be seen was how severe the punishment would
be.
In the light of the setting sun, the darkening city was in chaos.
On a road outside the city, three cars sped east one after another, leaving behind a trail of smoke and dust on the long dirt road.
Ten minutes later, Selina alerted Luke: “Dito’s car has entered a… manor? A lot of bodyguards are coming out.”
Luke hummed as they continued moving forward.
“15… 22… 29… 37… 45. Is this Dito’s nest?” Selina clicked her tongue as she looked at the image sent back by the drone.
Luke shook his head. “No. He has more than two thousand armed men under him. While it’s unlikely he would keep all of them here, fifty people is still too few.”
Selina gave an “oh” in agreement. “You’re right. Thirty more people just came out. It’s now pretty much a military company of armed men here.”
Luke made a noise of assent to indicate that he got it.
Given his influence, Dito needed a lot of bodyguards in case he was ambushed by his foes or the police.
The twenty bodyguards that went to the hotel with him was already the smallest number of people deployed. This manor had to be an important stronghold. It wouldn’t be surprising if he had one to two hundred armed men here.
“We’re three kilometers away from the manor,” Selina reminded him.
Luke stopped the car and asked, “Where are Martin and Roger?”
“They… charged into the manor.”
“Roger this old man, has he gone crazy too?” Luke couldn’t help grumbling. He had thought that this black, bald old guy was smarter than that.
While muttering to himself, he began to put on his gear.
Selina darted a look at him. “What about me?”
As he sorted out his equipment, Luke said, “Find a safe spot nearby and stay there. There’s another drone in the backpack. Send it out and give me directions. Also, keep an eye on Dito. Don’t let him slip away.”
Selina asked, “Are you sure?”
Luke nodded. “Positive. I’m not as crazy as Martin and Roger. If we both go in, we’ll be too big a target and easily alert those armed guards.”
Selina wasn’t really surprised.
Both of them knew she couldn’t compare with Luke in a fight.
She was mainly responsible for logistics and intelligence so that Luke wasn’t distracted by minor details.
As they spoke, Luke got out and reminded her again, “Be safe.”
They didn’t have their police car this time, and Selina had to pay attention to her safety.
“Got it,” Selina said.
Luke got out, pulled the hood over his head, and crept toward the manor under the cover of shrubs and dirt slopes.
His earpiece would sound every now and then with alerts from Selina: “Martin and Roger are engaging the armed men… They’re breaking into the main building… They’re surrounded…”
As he listened to how the battle was progressing, Luke advanced swiftly.
Night had fallen and it was dark.
Luke passed through the weeds like a ghost.
His fake phone didn’t alert him to any electronic surveillance devices.
Dito’s security system clearly hadn’t advanced with the time, or maybe this bigshot trusted his hundred bodyguards more.
Now, those bodyguards were being drawn toward the main building in the manor, which made it a lot easier for Luke to sneak in.
Luke very quickly reached the main building and didn’t stop.
“On the left side of the main building, there’s an entrance at three o’clock which only has five people.” Selina’s timing couldn’t be any better.
Her using the drones and the program to monitor the entire manor was a lot more convenient than Luke’s Sharp Nose.
“Martin and Roger are being forced to retreat to your nine o’clock in the main building,” she said.
Luke pressed forward silently.
The five bodyguards at the door were on alert and had their guns raised high. They didn’t plan on joining the battle inside the building.
Martin was clearly going all out this time.
Though he and his partner were completely outnumbered, his counterattack was extremely ferocious.
Pistols and rifles never stopped firing, and there was an explosion every now and then as Martin used grenades to teach Dito’s bodyguards a lesson.
Because of all the noise, the five men at the door didn’t notice Luke’s approach as their backs faced him.
Luke’s movements weren’t hasty at all.
In such a dim environment, movements that were too quick and sudden might draw the attention of the other bodyguards nearby.
He approached the backs of the five men soundlessly, like a ghost.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
They didn’t react as they were hit in the head one after another.
Two of them were punched and the other three were kicked.
Luke’s precision allowed most of his force to penetrate their brains without sending their bodies flying. The five bodyguards instantly collapsed.
“Two men are coming from the left. They’re going to turn the corner in eight meters, five meters, two meters…”
Luke swiftly threw all five bodies through the door and hid inside as well.
The two new guys reached the door. One of them said in puzzlement, “Why isn’t anybody here? Isn’t this place supposed to be guarded?”
“Those jerks, they lied again!” The other man was completely unsurprised. “They’re more serious than anyone else when counting their money, but when actual bad asses show up, they run off.”
Chatting casually, the two men pushed the door open and went in.
Bang! Bang!
The moment the door was opened, they were greeted with two huge fists to the eye.
Their necks snapped and they dropped like stones.
Luke pulled them back, one in each hand, and hid them in a corner not far from the door along with the five bodyguards he had killed earlier.
“Martin and Roger are surrounded and going to be killed. Second floor of the main building, your ten o’clock,” Selina said once more.
Luke grabbed two AKs off the bodies in passing. He picked up the clips as well and stuck them in his chest pocket.
