Chapter 899 - First Joint Operation
Chapter 899: First Joint Operation
After sending off the lawyer duo in the afternoon, Luke threw himself into work.
At eight in the evening, he and Selina went to their respective destinations.
Twenty minutes later, Luke stood on a high building in upper Manhattan and looked at another building not far away. It was the headquarters of Frank D’Amico, a New York drug lord.
This Frank D’Amico was Damon’s greatest enemy.
Eighty percent of the father and daughter’s targets in New York belonged to this bigshot’s forces.
At that moment, there was a notification from the support system. “Big Daddy and Hit-Girl have arrived at the designated location.”
Luke looked at the tablet and sent a communication request to the father and daughter.
The request was immediately accepted, and Damon’s voice rang out over the communication channel. “V, we’re here.”
Luke nodded and said, “I’ve done further reconnaissance and adjusted the operation plan. You have ten minutes to look at the modified plan before you start. Is that okay?”
“No problem,” Damon agreed.
But after a pause, he couldn’t help but ask, “Can you leave Frank D’Amico to me?”
Luke said, “Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you know about working together tonight.”
Damon’s breathing picked up. “Thank you.”
Luke said, “We can talk after tonight’s operation. Focus on ensuring that the operation is carried out smoothly.”
Damon said, “Okay.”
After explaining the situation to Damon and Mindy, Luke sent Selina a message. “You can start now.”
“Roger. Operation Bait will start in ten seconds,” replied Selina.
Luke stood quietly on the edge of the roof with his arms crossed. He looked south and counted down in his heart.
Ten seconds later, a fire suddenly burst out in a low building on the south side, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark.
On the drone’s surveillance feed, the people in the nearby building ran around and started to receive calls.
Less than ten minutes later, cars drove out of the building’s underground garage and headed straight for the fire in the south.
The system quickly calculated the number of people in the cars: 52.
According to previous intelligence, there were usually 100 to 150 criminals in this building.
So, there were only 50 to 100 criminals left now.
The fire in the south was at Frank D’Amico’s largest warehouse in Harlem. The goods stored there amounted to at least a month’s worth of sales.
It was impossible for the D’Amico gang to stay put when an important warehouse was on fire.
Naturally, it was Selina who had attacked the warehouse.
With the technical support Luke gave her, she only needed to make prior preparations, and when the time came, she started a huge fire with a flick of her finger.
In any case, the warehouse was by the river and there were no other buildings nearby, so no innocent passers-by would be hurt.
Luke had Selina lead people away not because he was afraid that there were too many of them, but because the more people there were, the more chaos there would be, and the more likely it would be for Frank to escape.
As the saying went, one couldn’t have both the fish and the bear.
Over the past year, Luke had provided Damon and Mindy with equipment to protect themselves; it was Frank’s turn now to find himself in a tight spot.
After being constantly harassed by Damon and Mindy, this bigshot no longer dared to brazenly declare his precise location like before.
Even Luke knew that the guy was probably in the building tonight, but he wasn’t sure exactly where he was.
D’Amico wanted to beat Damon and Mindy to death for their non-stop harassment, but he couldn’t find them, and was unwilling to give up by abandoning his territory and business.
In the end, he had no choice but to cut a deal with Kingpin’s forces and become half a subordinate, half an ally.
But Kingpin wasn’t planning on swallowing up Frank’s gang, which gave Frank hope.
He might be able to find Damon and Mindy through Kingpin’s network. Then, everything would be over.
But Damon and Mindy became more and more cautious, and there were fewer and fewer leads, so Frank’s wish never came true.
Today, Damon and Mindy finally came to him.
After the twenty or so cars drove off, Luke checked the time and then contacted Damon and Mindy via the comms. “Any questions?”
Damon said, “No.”
Luke said, “Okay, attack in ten seconds. Mindy, follow me. Damon, pay attention to the helicopter on the roof and don’t let D’Amico escape.”
“No problem.” Damon was excited.
V was going to beat the grass to scare the snake, then give Damon the chance to get his revenge himself.
After giving the order, Luke jumped off the roof and landed lightly on the fifth floor. He pushed lightly off of a wall and immediately moved sideways toward the main entrance of D’Amico’s nest.
Two guards were smoking on either side of the glass doors.
Of course, these gang members didn’t stand strict guard; not running around was already pretty diligent of them.
As they smoked and talked about the fire in the warehouse, and whether they would have to take a pay cut this month, Luke and Selina didn’t notice the dark shadow swiftly approaching them.
Boom!
The tempered glass doors instantly shattered, and a strong wind swept past.
Bang! Bang!
Two close-range shots sent them flying with holes in their chests.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Luke switched targets twice with his long and short revolvers, and the two criminals who were watching surveillance at the front desk collapsed.
The other two criminals, who had been drinking on a couch in the lounge, dropped their bottles and were shot in the head.
The six guards in the hall were instantly taken down, and Luke put his guns back at his waist.
Mindy then ran in through the broken door and followed Luke to the elevator.
Luke kicked the elevator doors before they fully opened and they got stuck. He jumped up and punched the top of the elevator. He then flipped upward, then lowered his short rod to pull Mindy up.
He took out two auto-rope climbers and gave one to Mindy.
Both of them fixed the devices to the elevator cable and activated them with one hand. One after another, they flew up the cable without making a sound.
Ten seconds later, they reached the 27th floor.
Luke stopped slightly above the elevator doors, and poked his toes into the gap.
As he put away the rope climber, he leaned against the elevator doors and opened them.
Mindy swayed in the elevator shaft and stretched out her leg like Luke.
Since she was short, Luke could only grab her foot and pull her into the hallway.
Both of them moved smoothly and without any hesitation.
