Austin asked again through the earpiece, "Leon, what happened? Why did you fight with Brook? Why did you kill each other?"
Leon opened his mouth but no words came out.
How could he explain why he came here and fought with Brook?
Could he tell the truth that the reason he joined the BHB Team was to kill Brook?
And the reason he came here was because he eavesdropped on Brook's phone?
Leon knew very well that he could not tell the truth. Otherwise, he would also be liquidated by Blackwatch Corporation. However, it was difficult for him to explain the current situation.
For a moment, Leon could not help but sweat profusely.
Just when he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, a calm male voice came through the earpiece again. "Leon, I've already reported this to the higher-ups. The company will soon send the relevant departments to clean up the mess. Your task now is to hide Brook and prevent anyone from seeing Brook's body. Do you understand?"
"Manager Liu?"
Leon immediately recognized the owner of the voice. It was the project manager, Liu Zhijian. He hurriedly said, "Manager Liu, I didn't mean to kill him!"
"I know."
However, the voice referred to as Manager Liu said, "Brook secretly colluded with the CAI and became a spy for the CAI to investigate Blackwatch. His equipment, interference equipment, and weapons were all provided by the CAI. Even the Vengeance Squad you were previously a part of was orchestrated by the CAI. There are countless similar organizations all over the world."
"The ambush you encountered appeared to be Brook's doing but it was also orchestrated by the CAI. We've been collecting evidence of Brook's betrayal since long before you came here. We didn't expect you to be one step ahead of us."
"What..."
Hearing all this, Leon only felt cold sweat dripping down his back. In other words, all his little actions were actually under the company's surveillance?
Moreover, his opponent was the renowned CAI of his own country?
On one side was his own country, on the other side was his company. Leon was at a loss as to which side he should take...
"Don't worry, the higher-ups of the company are very satisfied with your performance. Although you have a history of participating in Blackwatch's rebel organization, after all, in the end, you made up for your mistakes by volunteering the positions of other members. Also, you have great potential, so the higher-ups are very optimistic about your development."
At this point, Manager Liu suddenly paused and pointed out, "Leon, I hope you won't let the company down …"
"I-I definitely won't …"
Leon only felt that his back was about to be soaked.
"We are not asking you to betray your own country."
The other party continued, "In fact, our company and Northern America are in a situation where we're both working together and secretly competing against each other. On one hand, we're working together to fight against the forces of evil, but on the other hand, Northern America is afraid that we're too powerful, hence the current situation... However, none of this has anything to do with you or me. These are matters that the company's executives need to pay attention to. All you need to do is to do your job well. Don't follow Brook's example and get sucked into the vortex of competition between the two parties, understand?"
"Yes …"
Leon said in a dry voice.
"Alright, the relevant departments will be here soon. Just leave the scene to them. They are professionals in handling this."
After that, Manager Liu finally hung up the signal.
"Phew..."
At this point, Leon could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Brook whose skin was beginning to turn pale, gritted his teeth, and dragged him into the bushes nearby. After that, he sat down and waited in silence.
About ten minutes later, several black Wrangler jeeps suddenly came from afar and quickly stopped in front of Leon. Leon was startled and quickly got up. He saw more than ten people dressed in black robes and tactical helmets rushing out of the vehicles.
This group of people was holding pulse rifles in their hands and under their black robes was a one-piece combat suit. They immediately surrounded Leon and were ready to attack.
Leon quickly raised his hand and asked tentatively, "I'm from the Bionic Combative Police Force. Are you guys sent by the company to deal with the aftermath?"
"Yes, we've received a mission to recover the company's assets."
At this moment, a crisp female voice was heard. Leon heard this and looked behind them. He saw a woman without a helmet jumping out of the Wrangler jeep.
This woman was wearing low-brow makeup and had a cool temperament. Even the combat suit could not hide her round and voluptuous figure. She waved her hand slightly and immediately, everyone put down their guns and began to inspect the surroundings.
"Pedro Leon?"
The woman walked around Leon with a judgmental gaze and suddenly asked.
"It's me..."
Although he knew that the armor he was wearing was powerful, he did not know why he subconsciously felt an inexplicable sense of fear when facing this beautiful woman. It was as if the woman in front of him was not a human but a black female leopard that could tear him into pieces at any time.
However, it was obvious that the woman did not care what he thought. At this time, the woman suddenly took out a gun-shaped detector and pointed it at Leon. The detector automatically popped up with a green light and at the same time, an electronic voice sounded. "Identity confirmed. Pedro Leon, member of the Bionic Combative Police Force, serial number # 113304."
"Very good."
Seeing this, the woman put away the detector and then said coldly, "We've received orders from our superiors to officially take over everything at this scene. You can leave now, but remember, according to the company's agreement, you're not allowed to disclose anything that happened today to anyone without sufficient authority or outsiders. Otherwise, the company will deal with you accordingly, understand?"
"Okay, I understand..."
Leon swallowed his saliva, then turned around and left without looking back.
Before leaving, he deliberately took a look at the woman's voluptuous chest. Sure enough, he saw the letters B.S. on her chest.
In an instant, Leon completely understood the identity of this group of people.
"It's the B.S. department..."
Leon muttered under his breath.
The full name of the B.S. department was the Black Security Service. However, Leon knew that this name was just a cover. Its real name should be — Blackwatch Rapid Response Security Force!
Just like his own bionic combative police department, the Black Security Service was also affiliated with the Blacklight Biotechnology Group. On the surface, it seemed to be an organization of the same level as the bionic combative police department, but in reality, the administrative authority of this organization was much greater. Although it was called a special department, it was basically the company's private armed force!
The fundamental purpose of the existence of this department was to ensure and protect the safety of Blackwatch's assets, or to annihilate evidence that was detrimental to the company.
This was a fact that only a handful of people knew. The reason Leon knew all this was because he was a member of the Blackwatch rebel organization. Otherwise, based on his position in the company, there was no way he would know all this.
Leon secretly returned alone. However, when he passed by the Bartlett Bar again, he saw a bright red flame appearing in the sky above this neighborhood.
The Bartlett Bar and the nearby buildings were all on fire. From afar, he could see the towering flames and the chaotic crowd on the streets!
It seemed that Blackwatch had a lot of people to deal with tonight...
Seeing this scene, Leon felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had long known that Blackwatch was not a legitimate company, he still felt a chill run down his spine when he experienced this.
Dozens of lives were lost in one night, but the Northern American Continent turned a blind eye to it. This company was just too powerful...
With such a complicated feeling in mind, Leon rode the motorcycle hidden in the dark and returned to the bionic combative police base.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night...
...
When the sun gradually rose the next day in Northern America, York, who had just graduated from university and was working at a small media company called PUB, yawned and sat at his desk with five minutes left before work.
"Sigh, another uneventful day."
York muttered under his breath. He turned on his computer lazily. At once, a wallpaper of the entire BHB Combative Police Force appeared on his computer screen. It was obvious that he was a loyal fan of the BHB Combative Police Force under the Blackwatch Corporation.
"York, York!"
However, before he could even sit down, an unpleasant roar like a duck came from behind him. After hearing this voice, York suddenly felt a little irritated, but he tried his best to rein in his emotions and turned around. "Team leader, did you call for me?"
The person York referred to as team leader was a middle-aged man with a startling hairline. He yelled as he came to York's side and slammed an evaluation form on York's desk. "Look at the reports you wrote last week. Two of the three reports were rejected and the last one that was published on the website was also given negative reviews by the viewers. This is your result for last week!"
At once, York showed an awkward expression. "But team leader, didn't you ask me to write this issue about current affairs and security?"
"But I didn't ask you to write this crappy report!"
The team leader yelled, "The manager is very unhappy with you. If you can't write a few decent reports this week, get ready to pack up and go home!"
After saying that, he left while cursing.
Seeing this scene, York suddenly felt a little distressed. He was clearly writing according to the team leader's request, but in the end, he had to eat crow. Now, he was even about to lose his job.
He did not know when this would end...
York sighed inwardly. He opened the webpage a little dejectedly and began to search for useful news on major websites according to his old habits.
As a small media company, naturally, there were no war correspondents. The source of material they could obtain was from the Internet themselves. Moreover, there was no limit to the subject matter. They would write whatever report that attracted attention. Therefore, these small media outlets loved to ride on the popularity of major events.
After browsing for a while on major websites, York did not find any interesting reports. He looked at the time again and saw that it was almost 8: 30. Then, he seemed to think of something and turned to open the official website of Blackwatch.
As the most influential company in the world today, there was no other. Every time they released a new news, it was enough to cause a stir in the world. Naturally, small media outlets like York were the most comfortable to ride on the popularity.
Therefore, York had long been a frequent visitor to Blackwatch's official website. He gradually learned that the company often updated their official website at 8: 30.
Therefore, at 8: 30, he quickly opened the Blackwatch website and pressed F5 several times.
As expected, when he pressed F5 for the thirteenth time, a new headline suddenly appeared in the center of the main page of the official website. At the same time, the entire webpage turned black and white.
"Huh, what's going on?"
York was taken aback at first. He thought that there was a problem with the screen. However, the moment he saw the headline, his mouth suddenly fell open and he was completely dumbfounded...
[Captain of the BHB Combative Police Force, Brooke Humphrey, died in the line of duty last night at the age of 35.]
The moment York saw this news, he was completely dumbfounded. It took him a few seconds before he suddenly came to his senses. He quickly clicked the mouse as if he could not believe it!
The computer immediately entered the page of the headline.
"August 20, 2028, in the early hours of the morning, Brooke and rookie Leon were on a mission against drug traffickers when they were ambushed somewhere in the suburbs of Queens, New York City. They were eventually hit by an anti-tank rocket and succumbed to their injuries..."
Then, at the bottom of the article was a black-and-white photo of Brooke. In the photo, he was chiseled and had a determined expression on his face. He looked like a holy statue.
Below the article was a description of Brooke's life.
However, York's brain could no longer read on...
"Damn April Fools..."
York muttered under his breath. Then, the mouse in his hand fell to the ground with a loud clatter.
