Three days later, when Brando walked out of Cape Town International Airport with a group of members of the legal department, there were already several special cars waiting for them.
Cheng Cao stood outside the car and immediately waved when he saw them.
"Chief Cheng."
Brando walked up and shook hands with Cheng Cao.
"You don't have to call me that outside."
Cheng Cao waved his hand and nodded at Sara who was behind Brando, then looked behind the two of them.
Together with Brando were Anthony and Jennifer, who had been brought over from Switzerland when the nuclear power plant was being built. These two led the entire legal department to the Rainbow Nation.
"Cheng Cao, did you come early?" Sara asked curiously.
"Yes, I came here before the boss met you."
With that, Cheng Cao opened the door of the driver's seat and got in. Brando sat in the front passenger seat while Sara and Anthony from the legal department sat in the back seat.
The others could only sit in the other two cars.
After Cheng Cao asked everyone to get in the car, he started the car and said, "Actually, there's no need for the legal department to come. In the past few days, our people have confirmed that several other shareholders of Tara Private Security Company have received news of Dlamini's critical illness. They've joined forces with the senior executives of Tara to seize power and are now eyeing Dlamini's other companies."
"Aren't they afraid that we'll sue them?" Anthony from the legal department asked.
"It's useless."
Brando said helplessly, "These shareholders are the same as Dlamini, they're all members of the National Congress Party. It's pointless to file a lawsuit. Besides, the company isn't clean to begin with. Using the law to defend their rights will only be shooting themselves in the foot."
"What should we do then?"
"We'll see."
Cheng Cao explained, "Boss wants the legal department to talk to them first. If they're willing to talk, we'll talk to them. If they're really unwilling, we'll send the legal department back to Namibia first."
"Understood." Anthony nodded.
As the head of the legal department, although he was not involved in those matters, he was used to these things.
After all, this was Africa, the most complicated place in the world. If the company did not have some special means, it would be impossible to establish a foothold in this primitive land.
After sending the people from the legal department to the hotel where they were staying, Cheng Cao called for Brando and Sara and brought them to a slum where black people lived.
It was no different from the slums in other parts of Africa. This slum was located in the northeast corner of Cape Town and had more than 50,000 people living there. From the outside, it looked like countless low matchboxes sitting on the plain, forming a dense mass of people.
After walking in, it was even more narrow and cramped. The ground was filled with stinky gutters and the smell of decay. Even though it was daytime, it still seemed lethargic.
This was a slum without any hope, a corner abandoned by the world.
Seeing the arrival of the strange visitors, some of the idle local residents stopped talking and stared at the three of them with a pair of listless eyes.
In the eyes of these local residents, the arrival of the trio was as conspicuous as pearls rolling down from the rotten mud. As the trio entered the slums, several local residents actually followed them, slowly trailing behind them.
However, it was too easy for the three of them to notice them. Brando merely glared at the group of people in the distance to scare them away.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of an abandoned warehouse.
Cheng Cao reached out his hand to open the shutter door with familiarity. Brando and Sara then saw that the warehouse was dark and without light. There were only a dozen or so sleeping bags on the floor, and beside each sleeping bag sat a person quietly.
These people were expressionless, sitting on the ground lifelessly with food and water beside them.
Other than that, they did not communicate or entertain themselves. They just sat there quietly, like machines.
There were Asians, blacks, and whites among them, but this group of people had one thing in common. Be it their expressions or temperament, they were exactly the same. They gave off a feeling that they were not alive …
When they saw this group of people, Brando and Sara's eyes narrowed.
As mercenaries and assassins who walked the line between life and death all year round, how could the two of them not see that the body fat of these people had dropped to less than 10%? What replaced it was an explosive power that seemed to be gushing out of their bodies!
To train oneself to this level, it was not something that could be achieved through ordinary hardships. One must have a mentality that was close to masochism and constantly break through the limits of one's physical strength to reach this level, right?
"Cheng Cao, they are..." Sara asked in shock.
"They're also members of this operation, but they're used as a backup."
Cheng Cao replied lightly, "I know what you want to ask, but I'm sorry, I can't answer now. If you can join us in the future, then you'll know who these people are."
After hearing this, Brando and Sara's expressions suddenly changed.
Previously, when Chen Chen gave the two of them orders, he also said something similar.
"As long as we join."
In other words, there was an even more mysterious organization under Blackwatch, and this group of strange people in the warehouse was probably an unknown trump card of the company.
Seeing that both of them had thoughtful expressions, Cheng Cao walked to the corner of the warehouse, took out two Glock pistols from a suitcase, and then took out four magazines and handed them to the two of them.
"Take this for self-defense. I've already notified Tara Company. Tomorrow at around 12 o 'clock at noon, you and the negotiation team will attend their meeting and instantly test their intentions."
Cheng Cao added. "What Boss means is, if this group of people is willing to talk, then we'll talk normally. If not, then there's no need to talk. We'll use Plan B."
"What's Plan B.?" Sara asked curiously.
"That is..."
Cheng Cao made a throat-slitting gesture and said vaguely, "If the other party wants to stand in Blackwatch's way, this is the only way. I remember that assassinations should be your old profession."
"But this group of people are all members of Congress."
Brando was a little hesitant. "If this angers the authorities, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to deal with the aftermath."
"You don't have to worry about that at all."
Cheng Cao waved his hand and said indifferently, "North America will put pressure on the Rainbow Nation. You should also know that Blackwatch has financial groups from all over the world behind it."
"Then, aren't you going with us tomorrow?" Brando asked while checking the pistol.
"I have other work to do."
Cheng Cao shook his head and at the same time pointed to the group of people on the ground. "If the negotiations break down, they'll meet you at the bottom of the building..."
