Chapter 643: Chapter 642: Beheading Operation
At the base of the building.
An elite team formed by Koreans quickly cleared the obstacles downstairs and stormed into the building.
Team leader Cui Chicheng, who was forty-three, controlled the Seoul Guard, comparable to the ancient Imperial Guard Commander.
As a member of the Cui family, Cui Chicheng had long sensed subtle changes, especially the arrogant behavior of the young man from the Douglas Family since he entered Korea, which only confirmed his suspicions.
Should these soldiers gain control of this land, it would become a colony of the new century. As a citizen of Korea, Cui Chicheng felt a fiery blood in his veins, compelling him to rise up against his country’s oppressors and defend the dignity of his homeland.
Fortunately, his family shared his views, and they had reached a consensus with several other powerful families to fight bloodily for the ultimate authority of the Korean people in this region.
Today was the day the battle for freedom began.
Cui Chicheng knew the weight of the burden he carried.
Success was the only option, failure was not allowed.
As he watched his men storm into the building, eliminating those arrogantly domineering soldiers one by one, Cui Chicheng felt an immense relief, yet he didn’t let his guard down. Through the internal communication device, he issued commands, "They will definitely try to escape through the air. Squad two must block the airspace, and if squad one fails to capture them alive, squad two should proceed with the decapitation strategy."
Advancing with the team that had already cleared the obstacles, Cui Chicheng held a communication device, coordinating with other units.
The order was to capture Luo Bin and Jin Riwen alive for use as bargaining chips to negotiate the adversaries’ withdrawal.
But Cui Chicheng found this laughable.
This tug-of-war approach had continued for decades, and he had had enough; he believed that only by irreparably breaking down relations and closing off any avenue for negotiation could they permanently resolve this historical issue.
Thus, he personally came to direct this operation, aiming for the heads of Luo Bin and Jin Riwen.
A frantic battle erupted inside the Jinding Building.
The Federation Soldiers had not anticipated an assault of this magnitude and intensity in this era of peace; caught off-guard, they were slayed almost before they could react.
The regular soldiers tasked with guarding this building were few in number. Instead, it was the guards from the Jin Family’s Consortium, who were also armed, numbering up to fifty.
However, these men were no match for the fully armed and prepared elite forces.
When the battle commenced, Cui Chicheng’s team moved through the building as if it were uninhabited, quickly taking control with a fierce and decisive momentum. Except for a few soldiers who escaped to the rooftop, the rest were almost all slaughtered.
Yes, slaughtered!
No prisoners were taken.
Cui Chicheng used this method to declare their resolve to both allies and enemies.
First, to tell the Federation that their soldiers were not needed to dictate terms here, they could leave; secondly, to remind his partners that there was no turning back for them!
Equipped with cameras mounted on their helmets, Cui Chicheng ’watched’ the entire attack unfold through the eyes of the soldiers leading the charge.
He ’saw’ the images of local girls being violated by the soldiers on the building’s top floor.
This was a disgrace to the citizens of Korea.
So, when those soldiers were explosively shot in the head, and they displayed expressions of fear and shock as they clumsily fled, Cui Chicheng felt a thrill like never before.
Suddenly, he recognized a familiar face on the screen.
Jin Riwen.
"They’re trying to escape, catch them," shouted Cui Chicheng loudly.
At his command, the Vanguard Team madly pressed forward.
However, Jin Riwen and Luo Bin were surrounded by many soldiers and guards from the Jin family.
These men had regained their composure and had formed a temporary team tactically shielding the two bosses as they retreated.
After a fierce exchange, his team ultimately failed to keep those two in the building.
Cui Chicheng cursed under his breath, accelerated toward the rooftop, and ordered the second squad to be alert. He issued a death command: they must absolutely prevent them from escaping through the air.
In this building, as long as they had air control and the exits were already occupied by his men, those two would have no chance of escaping.
...
"Damn, I need support. Lock down the Jinding Building. I want to leave this place and take control of the airspace here to prevent the enemy from messing around during my withdrawal."
Luo Bin, furious, was giving orders through a secured channel.
Bastard, to think he was ambushed.
He had brought more than twenty well-trained soldiers, yet they were nearly completely surrounded and forced to flee in disarray.
If he couldn’t regain his footing immediately, this incident would make him the laughingstock of his circle once it got out. He might even be recalled by his family.
He couldn’t afford to lose face like this.
"Also, immediately assemble the team to go to the Self-defense Team base camp and take control of it. Everyone, enter combat readiness and prepare for war!
What, you’re afraid they’ll resist?
Bastard, if they dare resist, beat them to death. This nation lacks guts; their men are more like women than their women. Facing our soldiers, they won’t dare to resist, rest assured," Luo Bin arrogantly said over the phone in Jin Riwen’s presence.
Jin Riwen seemed unbothered by Luo Bin’s insults toward Korean men, speaking gravely, "I knew something would go wrong. Look, their retaliation has come so quickly."
"Oh, my friend, haven’t you noticed? Even if I hadn’t arranged for someone to attack that woman today, they would have been ready to make their move anyway.
It definitely isn’t their retaliation; they just had the same idea as us and were preparing to take action.
Oh, damn, why haven’t we heard anything from there?
As long as that woman dies, the Li Family will be headless, and chaos will ensue on their side, which will be advantageous for our next moves,"
Jin Riwen looked at the arrogant man, his lips twitched but he didn’t argue, and asked, "When do we leave?"
They had already been waiting at the turn of the staircase leading to the sky platform for two minutes.
The gunfire below grew denser, and the enemy was getting closer. Jin Riwen didn’t want to die here; he only thought of leaving sooner.
Luo Bin said with a smile, "Hold on, my friend. Since they chose to ambush, it’s unlikely that they only have one team attacking from the front. There definitely are people lying in ambush outside. Let’s wait."
"What should we do then?" Jin Riwen, not coming from a military background, suddenly felt panicked.
Luo Bin, unconcerned, said, "Don’t worry, just wait a moment. Our drones will soon clear out the sentries around, and once we have complete air control, we will be able to leave safely. We are still young and have a great life to enjoy; we can’t joke with our lives."
Jin Riwen, seeing his composed demeanor, couldn’t help but admire him somewhat.
Though appearing arrogant and reckless as if lacking real skills, he managed to remain calm in the face of trouble.
However, time waits for no one.
The team led by Cui Chicheng quickly wiped out those who were covering the rear below and had stormed to the lower floors.
Stray bullets even appeared at the entrance to the passage, striking the walls and sending fragments flying, making Jin Riwen so frightened that he almost knelt down with his hands over his head.
"Let’s go, if we wait any longer, we’ll be shot dead by the chaotic firing from below. It seems these guys have received a decapitation order; they shoot on sight," Jin Riwen urged anxiously.
Luo Bin was also somewhat panicked.
Two minutes had already passed, and the support he requested still hadn’t arrived.
Damn, in such a small place, how could it possibly take so long with the speed of drones?
Though anxious in his heart, Luo Bin still shouted to the soldiers covering their retreat, "Hold them off for just a little longer, our support will be here soon."
