Chapter 124: Thunderous Strike!
The atmosphere in the room seemed somewhat tense.
Under Palo's gunpoint, the expressions of the two men in black did not show too much change. Obviously, they had some understanding of Palo's character before coming here.
The next moment, the two exchanged a glance, then silently nodded, as if they had made some decision.
"Since that's the case, we won't try to persuade you anymore, but let me say this: Mr. Palo will regret the decision he made today." After saying a few words, the man in black left the room with his companion, somewhat helplessly.
They came to persuade Palo this time with a mission in mind.
Because, according to higher-up decisions, Palo's existence has always been like a time bomb for the Philippines.
The current Jade Island has grown to become a colossal presence that any country in the world can no longer underestimate.
And the Philippine government, which has had its grievances with the Jiang Clan, must also rethink how to get along with this neighbor.
In such a context, they felt it was necessary to send Palo away from the Philippines, to temporarily ease relations with Jade Island before considering other options, which is also why higher-ups came to persuade Palo.
Of course, they could also resort to force, but it should be known that Palo's strength and power are not to be underestimated now. Trying to take down Palo directly would certainly alert outsiders, and by then, if Jade Island came to know about it, it would be even harder to explain.
Thus, they decided to negotiate instead.
However, in the end, they still failed.
...
On the other side, watching the backs of the departing government officials, Palo's fierce expression completely changed as he furrowed his brows tightly.
By now, he was more convinced that this island was no longer a place to stay, and he must leave!
.....
At the same time.
Nanyao Island.
A light hydrofoil boat was approaching the Philippine sea area at a rapid speed, taking advantage of the gradually darkening twilight.
This hydrofoil is the latest high-speed transport boat developed by Jade Island, with its sole feature being speed!
The navigation principle of the hydrofoil relies on the pressure difference above and below the foil to elevate the hull, achieving rapid navigation. Moreover, this hydrofoil is equipped with a Super-cavitating Propeller beneath the hull.
As a result, its speed can break through 220 kilometers per hour, making it a high-speed train on the sea!
After cutting through the sea with a long flashing trail of water, it had disappeared from Nanyao Island's sight.
That evening.
The newly established special force from Jade Island—the Thunderbolt Special Team, quietly approached the Philippine coast on the hydrofoil, then headed south towards the Balwang Islands.
Before departure, Jiang Cheng had already provided the special team members with detailed intelligence about Palo's hiding place. After nearly a month of urgent training, these soldiers, with profound combat prowess, quickly formed combat capabilities.
Plus, with the high-level equipment provided by Jade Island, in terms of actual combat strength, they were no less than the special forces of major countries.
Their mission target this trip was singular: to capture Palo alive with the least loss and in the fastest time, then secretly bring him back to Jade Island to stand trial!
...
Nameless Island.
In the Seaside Manor.
Palo was pacing anxiously inside the house, his brows knitted into a "川" character. For some reason, he felt particularly agitated tonight, a deep sense of fear welling up in him.
As someone who makes a living on the edge of a knife, he had experienced countless life-and-death moments, making him especially sensitive to danger. He vaguely felt that someone must have set their sights on him.
"Carl, gather everyone we dispatched back!"
Feeling increasingly uneasy, Palo simply called a subordinate and gave the order.
On this Nameless Island, he had over a hundred armed subordinates, and such combat strength could even take on a small fleet.
Thus, even though his sense of unease was growing stronger, he still had full confidence in his strength.
The manor he lived in wasn't large in area, but as long as his subordinates secured the perimeter, no one could break in.
By tomorrow, he would be able to leave here by boat!
There was no choice. This island had been completely exposed and was no longer inhabitable.
According to his plan, this time he intended to escape directly to the Golden Triangle Region across the Sea Barrier using a smuggling boat. Presumably, no one there would be able to threaten him.
In a short time, all the subordinates stationed around the island gathered back around the manor, encircling it tightly.
Seeing this, Palo finally felt at ease.
.....
In the sea near the Balwang Islands.
The high-speed hydrofoil from Jade Island completely shut down its engine a few nautical miles away from the Nameless Island, entering a silent stealth mode.
In this state, after gliding a short distance, the dozens of Thunderbolt Special Team members on board, loaded with heavy gear, jumped into the water and began swimming towards the island.
Soon, everyone landed on the island.
At this moment, they all removed their diving suits and took out a special gear with wings from the backpack.
Flapping Wing Flying Device!
Once everyone was geared up, one team member took out a communication device and said, "Commander, Thunderbolt Special Team has reached the designated location, requesting further action instructions!"
Meanwhile, in the command hall on Nanyao Island, Jiang Cheng was intently watching the screen and then spoke into his communicator: "Very well, it's time to test the results of your training, commence action!"
At Jiang Cheng's command, the Thunderbolt Special Team members on the distant Nameless Island simultaneously saluted towards Nanyao Island before beginning their operation!
You could see them activate a special button on their chests, and in the next moment, after a gentle hum, the two large wings behind them unfolded.
With vigorous flapping, all the special team members turned into black shadows, flying into the sky and heading straight to the other side of the island!
On this darkened island, there was almost no light, so the special team members revealed no trace as they took flight. Even if someone heard a faint sound overhead, it would likely be dismissed as passing birds.
At this moment, the Thunderbolt operation, which Jiang Cheng had planned for a long time, was finally about to begin!
