Chapter 1 Ba Na City

In Ba Na City, inside the underground safe house of the administrative building, Bai Hongbo slowly put down the phone, his expression much more relaxed.

Bruna hurriedly asked, "Who was that on the phone?"

Bai Hongbo lowered his voice and said to her, "It's from the Hua district..."

Bruna was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "He's awake?"

Bai Hongbo nodded heavily, "Yes, he's awake."

"Hoo." Bruna breathed a long sigh of relief, the weight on her heart finally lifting.

Bai Hongbo thought for a moment, then said anxiously, "There aren't enough people here at the administrative hall. If we wait for reinforcements..."

Before he could finish, Bruna reached out and gently grasped her husband's hand, interrupting him.

Bai Hongbo stared at Bruna, noticing a hint of hesitation and pain on her face.

"Ever since I became the chief, I've been praying to God, hoping that this day would never come," Bruna said, her voice trembling. "But it…it still came. I was prepared for it. Every member of the Bernardo family has political blood flowing in their veins..."

Bai Hongbo was slightly taken aback by these words.

"Di di di—"

Just then, a series of beeping sounds came from the side, and a passage door in the safe house opened.

The guards in the room didn't move, as they knew who was coming through the surveillance cameras.

As the thick iron door opened, the special operations captain walked in with several team members. They went straight to the chief and said in a low voice, "Chief, all suspected internal personnel have been apprehended."

Bruna glanced at him and asked, "Is it as expected?"

The special operations captain nodded, "Yes."

Bruna then gave an order, "Okay, let's go."

"Yes!"

The special operations captain immediately led Bruna out of the passage and towards a basement beneath the safe house.

Seeing this, Bai Hongbo immediately followed.

The safe house they were in was very large, with three floors. In addition to military supplies, there were also living facilities, power generation facilities, water supply facilities, ventilation facilities, and a large amount of stored food.

It could be said that as long as one stayed in this safe house, living for a period of time without going out would not be a problem at all.

Soon, the group arrived at a room on the lowest level. In addition to the special operations team members holding guns, there were also more than twenty people kneeling.

Bai Hongbo glanced at these people, his face grave. As the foreign minister of Ba Na City, he knew everyone here. They were all high-ranking members of the administrative faction.

At this time, these people had lost their usual official airs. Their faces were pale, and their eyes looked at Bruna with fear.

One of the men, who was somewhat overweight and in his fifties, was trembling. As soon as he saw Bruna, he hurriedly shouted, "Chief, Chief! Please believe me, I was also deceived by Bo Ang!"

Bruna stood in front of these people, looking down at them, her eyes sweeping across each face. After a long silence, she slowly said, "I gave you a chance. You had plenty of time to come to me at the banquet hall, but not one of you did. I don't want to kill people, but I have no choice..."

Hearing these words, many officials lowered their heads in shame.

The man in his fifties said with a sob, "Please forgive me, Chief Bruna… I have been serving the Bernardo family all my life, and I have given almost everything… Please, for the sake of my years of hard work..."

The man's legs shook like a sieve as he continued to beg.

A hint of compassion flashed in Bruna's eyes, but she bit her lip, and her gaze quickly hardened again. She took a deep breath and waved her hand directly.

"Yes!"

The special operations captain waved his hand, and the special operations team members in the room immediately raised the automatic rifles in their hands.

"No!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

These officials instantly understood what was about to happen next. Some were silent and resigned to their fate; others were so frightened that they wet their pants, constantly begging for mercy.

"Da da da!"

What answered them was a volley of cheap bullets.

Blood mist burst out from these officials, and soon, everyone fell into a pool of blood.

Bai Hongbo tried to put his arms around his wife, but Bruna stood there firmly, witnessing the scene with her own eyes.

After the execution, the special operations captain sent someone to count the bodies, then reported to Bruna, "Report, all killed!"

Bruna nodded.

"Pa pa pa!"

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

The chief's secretary quickly ran down the stairs, came to Bruna, and said to her, "Chief, we have contacted the Blackwater Mercenary Group's staff several times, but they have not responded."

Bruna was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yes, I have done what I needed to do."

...

At the same time, in the command vehicle outside the administrative building.

Baghman, the chief of staff of the Blackwater Mercenary Group, received a message and said in a low voice to Bo Ang, "They called again, but we haven't responded."

Bo Ang glanced at the administrative building and said without hesitation, "Notify all troops to advance with all their strength."

"Yes!"

Under Bo Ang's order, three regiments of troops attacked the inside of the administrative building at all costs.

"Da da da!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Bullets, grenades, RPGs, all kinds of weapons frantically bombarded the administrative building's defenses.

The Blackwater Mercenary Group was well-trained and extremely powerful, while the number of special operations team members in the administrative building was small, and their equipment was much worse. As a result, they were beaten back steadily.

In almost no time, the special operations team's defense line completely collapsed.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat back into the building!"

A special operations team commander, covered in blood, roared into the walkie-talkie.

The remaining special operations team members immediately abandoned the defense line at the gate and all retreated into the administrative building.

At this time, many bodies were left in the courtyard outside the administrative building.

The Blackwater Mercenary Group's soldiers stormed into the courtyard, and at the same time, Bo Ang's command vehicle followed the main force. Sitting in the car, he was still urging Baghman, "Tell everyone, at all costs, we must capture Bai Hongbo!"

"Yes!"

The Blackwater Mercenary Group had completely occupied the courtyard. A large number of armed pickup trucks drove over, adjusted the machine guns on them, aimed at the building, and prepared for the final assault.

"Shua shua shua!"

At this moment, spotlights suddenly lit up around the building.

In the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard was as bright as day. The Blackwater Mercenary Group's soldiers were blinded and hurriedly turned their guns around, aiming at the surroundings.

Bo Ang was also stunned for a moment. How could there be so many military spotlights? How could Bruna still have an army in her hands?!

Just as Bo Ang was thinking, a burst of dense footsteps sounded. A large number of soldiers suddenly poured in from all around. All of these soldiers were wearing coast guard uniforms.

Bo Ang stared at these coast guards, instantly stunned.

The force that Bruna had secretly cooperated with when she was fighting for power was the coast guard!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bo Ang gritted his teeth and roared, "The coast guard is all hiding here, but they can't stop my three regiments from attacking! Don't stop, advance quickly!"

...

Hua district, Southern Theater Command Hospital.

Su Tianyu lay on the bed, holding his phone, and said in a hoarse voice, "If I dared to help him up, I wouldn't be afraid of him rebelling. Hu ge, I'll give you a contact number. Contact him and open a passage for the Lao Mo government troops…do it quickly!"
