Kidnapping Game 208: 208.

Kidnapping Game The entertainment facilities in the manor had yet to be enjoyed by Lu Li.

On a rare occasion, Jessica pulled him into the sauna room.

While the young girl busied herself helping him change into a bathrobe, Lu Li lay on the lounge chair enjoying himself, at the same time taking out his mobile phone to view the “Firepower Strike” page on the Northern Industry official website.

[SR-5 Multiple Rocket Launchers, 20 rockets in a salvo…

I could go for three of those]

[How about six 155mm howitzers to make up an artillery company for sustained fire output?]

[Then, three armed helicopters to provide a wash of bullets from above…]

Lu Li calculated the expenses for the equipment and ammunition he was planning to purchase, which ought to be around one hundred million dollars for more stability.

And in his account…

there was only 17 million dollars left.

“The old saying goes, ‘when the cannon fires, gold flows by the thousands’.

Modern warfare is really a money-burning affair.”

He wasn’t too worried about the high costs.

He planned to first make money through “relatively” regular channels, and if that failed…

he would just rob the treasuries of the Star Alliance Country.

“New York Underground Vault, Denver Mint, Fort Knox, Treasury of West Point Military Academy…”

Lu Li quickly listed the four largest treasuries of the Star Alliance Country as potential targets.

Past life experiences, especially the loss of his leg, had left him without the slightest psychological pressure.

What truly exerted pressure on him was figuring out how to manipulate the souls that drove the Terminators.

To operate those machines above, at least ten Terminators needed to be awakened.

Plus, to fly helicopters and operate cannon and rocket artillery, they required even higher intelligence.

Lu Li estimated that each Terminator would need 800…

no, a thousand souls poured into them!

“That means I’ll need to kill ten thousand evildoers, which won’t be easy to gather in a short time…”

He stared at the ceiling, lost in thought when Jessica reached out and dragged him back, saying,

“Hey, what are you thinking about~”

“Some difficult problems.”

Hearing Lu Li’s response, Jessica rose from her lounge chair with a sweet smile and said,

“I’ll dance for you, so stop worrying~”

With that, she removed her bath towel, and waving her porcelain-like graceful body, she began to dance a ballet.

Her slender white legs and tightly curved waist immediately cured Lu Li’s mental exhaustion.

“Actually, it’s not that difficult.

If there’s one thing these two worlds aren’t short of, it’s damn scumbags!”

Lu Li took out his phone and contacted the “Brilliant Precision Machinery Equipment” company to custom-order thirty Terminators with airmail expenses for one million dollars.

Every activated Terminator represented a bloodbath!

~~~~~~~~~~

After the steam sauna, the two went to bed early to rest.

The Chairman and the CEO held each other, intimate and sweet, which bode well for the future of their company.

Lu Li had asked for an appearance fee of one hundred million dollars, thinking it would take a year to see any business.

Even Aurora was curious if anyone would spend a fortune to hire Lu Li.

But to everyone’s surprise, business came much faster than expected!

The next day, around noon,

Jessica, following Lu Li’s instructions, contacted a construction company to build a warehouse on their territory.

She put on a professional suit dress from her campaign team days, planning to go there in person.

Just as she was about to head downstairs, her mobile phone rang.

“It’s the billionaire, Mr.

Luke, calling!”

Jessica had saved his number when handling the handover formalities, as this manor was a gift from Luke.

Furthermore, the contact number left when registering “Divine Dragon Security Consulting Company” was also Jessica’s!

By her side, Lu Li exclaimed in surprise, “Could it be that we just opened and are already getting business?”

Jessica also thought of this possibility, excitedly made eye contact with him and answered the call:

“Hello, Mr.

Luke.”

…

“Yes, he is here, please hold on.”

…

Jessica hurriedly handed the phone to Lu Li, “We’ve got a live one!”

Taking the phone, Lu Li heard Luke’s somewhat weary voice:

“Mr.

Lu, I just learned that you’ve established your company.

There’s a thorny issue I’d like to entrust to you.”

“Go ahead.”

“My granddaughter has been kidnapped by the ‘Lotus’ drug cartel.

I’m willing to pay one hundred million dollars for her rescue.

Please save her immediately!”

The ‘Lotus’ drug cartel was a competitor of the Benjamin Group, and most people would steer clear of them.

But Lu Li thought the scum was never enough and promptly accepted the job, “Okay, I agree.”

“Thank you so much.

I’ll send you the details right away!”

Luke hurried to get everything ready.

After hanging up, Lu Li was about to make a profit from this windfall that had come knocking at his door.

At that moment, his own phone rang…

It was Lady Maria!

“Coming together, could it be about Luke’s situation?”

Lu Li had a hunch and pressed the answer button.

Lady Maria’s familiar voice came through:

“Lu Li, congratulations on your company’s smooth start-up.

There’s a difficult task here.

Mr.

Luke’s granddaughter has been kidnapped…”

Lu Li was about to say he already knew, but the lady quickly continued:

“There’s also a ‘Counselor’ from the Fran Embassy and an elder from the National Action Party who have been kidnapped.”

Lu Li wondered, so many people kidnapped?

Including embassy officials?

Lady Maria quickly explained:

“Intelligence shows that an important member of the ‘Lotus’ drug cartel—Carlette—has arrived in Mexico City.”

“This person is a madman, committing 20 kidnappings in a single day…

These three are sensitive figures, you must save them.”

Since he needed to make only one trip and the difference wasn’t substantial, Lu Li readily accepted:

“I’d be happy to help, just send me the information.”

“Much appreciated, Aurora will contact you shortly.”

~~~~~~~~~~

The situation was somewhat surreal.

Not only the granddaughter of the wealthiest man but also embassy officials and dignitaries had been kidnapped.

It was quite unbelievable.

Lu Li didn’t find it strange; kidnapping was a traditional “game” in Moxico.

Here, whether you were a corporate CEO, a government high official, or even a drug cartel member, you had to be prepared for kidnapping.

And regardless of whether the ransom was paid or not, the rate of tearing up the ticket was nearly 100%.

Less than a minute later, Aurora called to make contact.

“Hey, Lu Li, you’re going to be on my helicopter again soon.”

“Mm-hmm, tell me about the situation.”

“A madman has kidnapped 20 people in a day, but the lady specifically wants you to save that ‘National Action Party elder.’ He’s an important ally, involved not only in the upcoming power transition but also in the formation of the cabinet and gaining the support of the Opposition.”

Lu Li immediately understood why Lady Maria had personally called him.

Of course, the lady couldn’t discuss these things, so Aurora explained on her behalf.

At this point, Jessica said, “You go take care of business; I’ll get in touch with the construction company.”

Lu Li nodded, “Okay, take Ah Da with you.”

He waved his hand, and Ah Da followed behind the young girl.

This Puppet, having undergone Sacrificial Refinement with the Wish Power on Blue Star, seemed a little different, on the verge of some kind of metamorphosis!
