Courtney ran all the way. He was no stranger to escaping. After all, he had grown rapidly in Colombi for ten years.
Ever since he followed Baldwin, he had been living in one of the most violent places in the world!
The Colombi government, various paramilitary organizations, countless drug trafficking organizations, and various guerrilla organizations …
These organizations had been at war with each other for many years! Courtney grew up in all kinds of conflicts in this environment. Kidnapping hostages, smuggling drugs, launching terrorist attacks on civilians …
At that time, all kinds of terrifying encounters had become a part of the daily life of the Colombi civilians. Everyone was used to it.
Courtney had no feelings about it at all. For example, there were so many people chasing after him now, but he had no fear at all. He only knew that all he needed to do was to keep running. As long as he ran, nothing would happen.
Even if he couldn't escape, it didn't matter. If he was caught, he would die.
People who lived on the edge of knives all year round didn't care about their lives at all. Courtney was the kind of person who wasn't afraid of death. Anyone who came into contact with death often wouldn't feel anything about it.
Courtney's life had already "died" many times.
He was quite puzzled himself. He really suspected that the King of Hell wasn't interested in his life. Otherwise, why would he throw him back every time?
The armed conflict in Colombi lasted for fifty years!
Courtney was born during the first peace talks in Colombi. At that time, the conservatives started peace talks with the revolutionary army under the cease-fire of both sides. Unfortunately, the talks broke down later. The reason was that the paramilitary forces on the right tried to assassinate the presidential candidate from the party allied with the revolutionary army.
Further peace efforts collapsed when they entered the twenty-first century! Courtney started to live with Baldwin at that time.
In the twenty-first century, the revolutionary army kidnapped a Colombi citizen of French descent. This female presidential candidate was held hostage in the jungle for more than six years and became an international symbol of the conflict. She was only successfully rescued by the military when Yanjing held the Olympics.
Later, the revolutionary army leader was killed and new peace talks started. Last year, there was a final cease-fire and the disarmament agreement was lifted. It seemed like it was the prelude to a more comprehensive peace agreement.
It's just that Courtney is no longer in Columby. The ten years he spent in Columby were a very chaotic decade!
In Courtney's impression, most of the people in Columbi were of mixed black and native descent. However, the higher the social class, the fewer mixed-race people there were.
Ninety-nine percent of the high-ranking officials, executives, and cultural figures he had come into contact with were completely European in appearance, and there were obviously many more people of color begging and performing on the streets. Perhaps this was also a manifestation of the solidification of social classes.
During Courtney's time in Columbiana, she was surrounded by nothing but drugs and civil strife.
The chase and pursuit in the city lasted for an entire hour!
When Courtney's figure disappeared into the night, the pursuers panted and sat on the ground, their faces full of resentment!
The resentment towards himself and the resentment towards others!
Over a hundred people had failed to capture Courtney! How could they let this guy escape right under their noses?!
The outbreak of New York's gangs made Courtney feel a sense of crisis. When everyone erupted, even Baldwin's strength would be hard to control. This was the problem that Courtney was most worried about.
When he was certain that he had escaped danger, he immediately called Baldwin to inform him.
He told Baldwin what had happened to him. When Baldwin heard what had happened, he became furious. Everything had happened too suddenly. Although he knew that Carlos' incessant increase in payment would eventually incite everyone's anger, these fellows had erupted too quickly!
Baldwin had Courtney find a place to hide and not let anyone catch him. If that happened, even he would not be able to protect him.
Courtney nodded. As long as he wanted to run, there were few in New York who could catch him.
Baldwin decided to head to New York that very night!
Natasha waited for Baldwin to hang up the phone in anger before stepping forward to gently pat his chest. "Boss, there is no need to get angry over something like this. We already knew about this. This was bound to happen. After all, New York is filled with a bunch of greedy fellows."
Baldwin took a deep breath. "I knew that this would happen. I also know that this is a normal outcome. However … these fellows are moving too quickly! They actually made a move on my men without prior consultation? "
"Boss, this is driven by profit." Natasha smiled. "It would be strange if they didn't do that. Boss, this is nothing. It's really nothing. It's a very normal thing."
Baldwin did his best to calm himself down. "We'll prepare to head to New York now."
"It's time for you to show up," said Natasha. Natasha said, "These guys might be afraid of Courtney on normal days, but when it comes to critical moments, they won't put Courtney in their eyes. In New York, the only person they fear is you."
"That's me …" Baldwin nodded. Indeed, he was the King of New York!
"No one dares to shake your position. That's the most important thing." Natasha's words made Baldwin feel very comfortable. "I'll make the arrangements now. We'll set off as soon as possible. Boss, you must be very interested in this Carlos, right?"
"I'm more than interested. I'm even a little impressed by him. What great courage. Back then, when I cooperated with his father, it was because his father had great courage, "said Baldwin. "However, I never thought that his courage would be even greater than his father's!"
"This is what they mean by the student surpassing the master," said Natasha. "I admire this kind of person. I believe that working with someone like him will be more pleasant."
Baldwin nodded.
"You're right."
Natasha smiled. "For him to be able to create such a big commotion in New York, all he did was spend a little more US dollars. It is not because of money. Rather, it is because of his scheming. He made those fellows feel that they had been tolerating you time and time again. Thus, they had no choice but to erupt."
"These fellows really want to die," said Baldwin.
"Boss, I just want to remind you that although this Carlos is someone worthy of admiration, he is also someone we must be wary of," said Natasha. Natasha said, "If he can cause such a big commotion, it means that he's not an ordinary person."
Baldwin lowered his head and was silent for a moment.
"If this person can be used by me, cooperate with me, and become friends, then I will naturally be happy," said Baldwin. "However, if we cannot become friends, then I can only reluctantly part with him."
Natasha nodded with a faint smile.
"That meat shield beside him is definitely no match for Courtney," said Baldwin. "He wants to rely on the protection of a meat shield to run amok in New York. That is impossible."
"Boss, everything is still under your control. No matter what they do, it is meaningless," said Natasha with a smile. "New York is still yours. The world is still yours."
Baldwin laughed out loud and felt much better. "That's right, you're right! Natasha, no matter what, you always make me feel at ease. Right now, I can live without anyone or any assets by my side. However, I cannot live without you. "
Natasha smiled and said, "I am your asset. As long as you do not want to throw me away, I will always be by your side."
"No. Even if I have to throw away all of New York, I will never abandon you." Baldwin's words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.
For a person like him who already lacked nothing, a woman who could talk to him and make him feel better was what he needed the most!
"If you can say that, then everything I do is worth it." Natasha kissed Baldwin and said, "I will go and arrange the plane."
Baldwin nodded and said, "Go. You will always be able to make the best arrangements for me, my beloved."
Natasha turned and left. Her figure drifted away. Baldwin watched her in a daze. He was truly captivated by this woman. That was undeniable.
