When the Chloe Nightclub exploded, Edwin Antonio was reviewing the accounts in a private room of the nightclub. When the deafening explosion sounded and all the glass doors and windows in the nightclub were shattered, his eyes immediately turned cold and he looked outside the door.
Soon, someone walked in and reported, "Boss, the place where the explosion happened was a trash can in the back alley. Someone put at least 20 kilograms of C4 in it and carried out a directional explosion. Two of our men died, and then one of the walls collapsed over there. Fortunately, this building is a frame structure, and the internal magic defense array is quite stable. "
"Who did it?"
Antonio's expression changed slightly as he said this. "It shouldn't be just Chloe. Ask the people below if there are any other incidents."
At this moment, a mobile phone rang in the private room. A sturdy man in his thirties wearing a black windbreaker was the first to answer the call. Then, he passed the handheld phone to Antonio with a solemn expression.
"Boss, it's Chief Ryder of the East Police Department. He said that in the past five minutes, a total of four shootings occurred in the entire East Suburbs. Two seafood shops that we run were destroyed, a total of 12 people were killed, and six were seriously injured. There was also an explosion at the strip club of Arezzo. "
"That is to say, including the Chloe Nightclub, we lost 14 people in one go? What a menacing presence. "
Antonio actually laughed instead of getting angry. He brought the phone to his ear and said, "Do you know who did it? Chief Ryder. "
"How would I know?"
The voice that came out of the phone was flustered and exasperated. There was even a hint of rage in it. "Do you know who it is, Antonio? Is someone waging war against you? Are you going to turn the East Side into a battlefield? Four shootings and three explosions in ten minutes. How do you expect us to explain this to the public? "
"Hey, Mr. Yves Ryder, calm down! Calm down, Mr. Chief. We are the victims, okay? What's the use of getting angry at me? "
Antonio continued to speak in an indifferent tone, "The most important thing now is to find the murderer. I will help you, Mr. Ryder. It has been a long time since there has been such a vicious man in Atlanta. "
"Just help?"
Yves Ryder snorted coldly. "Remember this, Mr. Antonio! Atlanta's city election is about to begin. If you don't want me to lose my position as the director, and if you don't want the councilors to lose their votes in the east district, then get rid of your opponent as soon as possible. No matter what method you use. "
"You're making things difficult for me, Chief Ryder."
Antonio frowned and said in a serious tone, "Ryder, I may not be able to promise you anything. Whether or not there will be more shootings depends on the opponent. I can only do my best. Within an hour at most, the entire Blood Hand will be mobilized to help you find these lawless murderers. "
"I'm not asking you for help, nor am I discussing with you!"
Yves Ryder's voice was still full of anger. "Sh * t! Do you need me to help you recall? Antonio, since the beginning of the year, there have been 47 murders in the east district related to you! This is the limit of my patience. Don't force me to do anything to you, Antonio. "
"I can only say that the murder cases you mentioned are all false accusations."
At this moment, Antonio's ears suddenly buzzed again. At the same time, there was a slight tremor on the ground.
He knew that there must have been another explosion nearby, and his face finally showed a little anger. "Look, Mr. Director. It was obvious that someone was targeting me at all costs. As a victim, I definitely want to solve the problem as soon as possible. So, you don't need to say anything. I will do my best. But I also need your help, Ryder. I won't let you down. "
"Of course, I will let the major branches under the jurisdiction of the east district strengthen the patrols and vigilance on the streets. The Key Case Investigation Unit and the Anti-Mafia Unit will also take action. So, during this time, you better behave, okay? Antonio? "
At this moment, Yves Ryder's tone softened a little. "I think the mayor will call you soon. I will help you buy time. Antonio, is ten days enough? Also, you have to think of a way to deal with public opinion. "
After hanging up the phone, Antonio looked at Kajaron, who was rushing in from outside the door.
"Kajaron, you know who did it, right? I don't think it's Naessen's men. They wouldn't be so gentle. "
"It's not Naessen's men."
Kajaron shook his head. "I found a few witnesses of the shooting. They said that the perpetrators were all masked and fully armed. I couldn't see any physical features. My men also found a pickup truck that they used. It was abandoned in an alley. It's worth noting that the car was stolen. The police report was made at seven at night. "
Antonio raised his eyebrows. "What does this mean?"
"I think it's Andre Lee Wildenstein, but I can't be sure."
Kajaron said solemnly, "You met him yesterday afternoon. After that, he started recruiting at the Cardinal Club."
"Lucky André? It's him? "
Antonio had an incredulous look on his face. "But isn't this too fast? He might not even be able to recruit enough people for that kid. Even if he did, it would take some time to organize them. Otherwise, they would just be a bunch of mobs. Could it be mercenaries? Or killers? "
"As far as I know, he didn't contact any mercenaries. The famous killer organizations in Atlanta didn't receive any large-scale orders either. "
Kajaron shook his head. "But his father is Li Chunchu. The boss of the Xuri Company isn't simple. Not only does he run a smuggling business in Southeast Asia, but he also has a considerable business in the Anatolian mainland. It's said that he's a supplier for three large hunting groups there. It's normal for him to leave some people for his son after his death. Of course, this is just my guess. I don't have any concrete evidence at this stage. I can't rule out the possibility of other forces using this lucky André as a cover. "
"Aha, this is interesting."
Antonio lay on the sofa and put the cigar back in his mouth. "A sheep provoking a giant elephant. What a funny scene. Richard, inform the family's cadres to come here as soon as possible. We'll have a meeting here. Anyway, the nightclub is already like this. It can't operate until it's renovated. Also, get the people down there to move as soon as possible. I don't want any more losses in the nineteen streets under the jurisdiction of Blood Hand. Also, I want more detailed information. Whether it's this lucky André or not, we'll treat him as our enemy for the time being. "
At this time, his eyes were full of deep killing intent. "This kid is fearless because he's backed by the Nathan Group, right? We'll make him pay a heavy price. "
