- January 2001. Ten days after John Ackins' rescue operation. Blacksite, London.

After returning to England, the vows, along with Gary Jackson and the dragon, who helped rescue Master Ackins, went into retribution for their past operations.

Detailing and reflecting on what went well, what went wrong, and what needs to be corrected after the mission is indispensable to improve operational performance.

When Gary Jackson finished explaining the overview of the operation, the vows began to describe the situation at that time. Whenever something didn't make sense during the description, he continued to speak by marking it on a note.

Seowon looked at the note marked with a question mark and said.

“No matter how much I think about it, it doesn't make sense. It wasn't the Los Setas I knew. Los Setas usually attack with RPG and M82 (Barrett). We estimate five to eight casualties before we deploy. But not a single person was hit by a bullet. You think this is possible? ”

Gary Jackson received a pledge.

“You said you placed a bomb inside a child. ”

“It's the way of Los Setas. But those nasty bastards are the ones who spread every ounce of firepower they have when they see the enemy. No matter how much I think about it, I think he just let us go. ”

The dragon folds its arms and opens its mouth as it listens to the conversation between the two.

“I wasn't on site, so I don't know the details, but I'll vote on the pledge. Los Setas don't just stand by and watch an enemy in sight flee. ”

Seowon's gaze was on Gary Jackson.

“There are only two reasons why they would let John Ackins go. Maybe John is no longer useful. Or……. ”

“Or?”

“I didn't have the strength to deal with unexpected intruders. ”

“What do you mean you can't afford it? ”

The vows point to the map on the wall by hand. His finger was pointing to America.

“Do you have any information from the United States? ”

“America?”

“Los Setas, who has the most power over the Mexican regular, is the United States of America. I don't think the United States had enough time to care about us because they were doing something to Los Setas the day of the operation. ”

“What does John Ackins say? ”

“Every day after her body arrived, the torture stopped. That was three days before the rescue. ”

“Three days? How far has the decomposition gone? ”

The vow shakes its head.

“When I stripped my child's clothes to find the bomb, I couldn't find any signs of corruption anywhere other than the surgical sutures. ”

“Do you smell formalin or alcohol? ”

“Not at all. If it smelled like that, you'd have noticed it was weird from the start. ”

When everyone thought about it, the horse disappeared.

The one who broke the silence was a vow.

“No matter how hard you turn your head around here, there's no answer. So Gary, get me some intel on the American side. ”

Gary reaches out to the vow.

Seowon stared at Gary Jackson in a daze.

“Money. You need money to get information. ”

Seowon looked at the dragon with a puzzled look on his face.

The dragon shakes its head and says:

“You know how hard it is to get AH-64 locally? Plus, I got in and out of Los Setas' stronghold. Do you think anyone would do something so dangerous? This operation was all about the money. ”

A cold reality that I had forgotten for a moment struck him. Fucking money.

Seowon quickly retrieved the PDA and searched the mission list. But he didn't see the big number he wanted.

The dragon shakes its head, gazing at a vow strangely obsessed with what happened to John Ackins.

The risky operation achieved its objective. At this point, he wanted the vows to stop his interest in Los Setas.

“Enough. It's too dangerous. ”

The eyes of the vow turned towards the dragon.

“If I could say the same in front of John, I would follow your opinion. ”

Nothing in the world is like the anger of a parent who loses his daughter in front of his eyes. The dragon shuts up.

A battle that may have won, but it doesn't seem to have won.

The scar of violence left a scar on everyone's chest.

“What kind of kids are you? Some people have entered my land and killed my family!!! ”

The man in the bearded jewelry has wandered the streets.

He scours people's faces with his red face.

“Don't you know? Anyone? ”

Everyone avoided looking at him in order not to make eye contact.

The man approaches a plump man with a head smaller than his own.

“Who is it? Who took John Ackins! ”

“I'm... sorry. We're running a search on every available network, so if you just give us a little time.... ”

The right hand of the mustache grabs her neck.

“Khh... Cough!!! ”

“I said the same thing a week ago. ”

As the moustache tightens your arm, the blood runs through your veins. A worm crawls over his muscular arm.

Groundhog's feet fall off the ground.

“Ugh!!! G-give the boss one chance... ”

“Opportunity? A man who doesn't know me broke into my land without my permission and killed his brothers for kidnapping a prisoner. The guy responsible for all this, he wants more chances? ”

The face of the mustache was so dark that it was too red.

He looks around and shouts.

“There is no mercy for a man who neglects his duty! ”

Strengthen your right arm, where your mustache is more than 1.5 times bigger than your left arm < BLEEP! > I heard a sound.

Grounddaughter's lower body, which was struggling a little while ago, stopped moving.

As the mustache loosens from his hand, his body falls to the ground.

< Bang! >

Those who witnessed their colleagues' end look away from the corpse.

“Get out of here! And get Dr. Wirgen and Miguel! ”

As everyone falls like a tide, the right arm of the mustache trembles.

As the convulsions get worse, he pulls out the medicine chest with his left hand into his trouser pockets.

He opens a potion with his left hand, putting a few pills in his mouth without water, and chewing it up.

After some time, the cramp in your right arm subsides. At the same time, the volume of muscles gradually decreased.

He lets out a short breath and screams, looking north.

“Fucking Americans! ”

His excitement doesn't settle completely, he slaps the table with his right hand.

Along with the sound, the center of the metal table recesses a moment ago.

Then the door opened and two people entered the room.

A white guy with glasses that looks half the height of a normal person and a regular looking Mexican.

The white man in the glasses approached as soon as he saw the mustache.

“Let me see your eyes, boss. ”

The moustache lowers to allow the dwarf to look into his eyes.

The dwarf pulls the flash out of his gown and shines a light on the mustache's eyes. The sharp eyes behind the glasses glow.

“When I get excited, I tell you a few times it's bad for me. Why would he go against the boss...? Tsk tsk tsk.”

My mustache answered.

“He used to smuggle drugs out and sell them separately. He was gonna kill me anyway. I let him play nice for the sake of the ball so far. Isn't that right, Ruben? ”

Ruben Salinas nods.

“That's right, Z! ”

His name is Arturo Guzman Decena.

After eliminating the Mexican Army strike team, he and his colleagues jumped into the drug business and put his business on top of the industry in four years.

Like a Special Forces veteran, he was extremely skilled in various weapons, strategies, and organizational management.

He invested in weaponized tribes who thought having the strength to protect his business was the core of the business. As a result, his cartel, armed with state-of-the-art, systematic and organized weapons, is considered armed, not merely as a drug distributor, but as a small national legitimate force.

The Mexican government conducted several raids to eliminate Arturo Guzman Decena.

However, Arturo Guzman Desena acquired information in advance from the Mexican government and military presence each time, and used it to give the attackers a hot taste.

Now within Mexico, Arturo Guzman Decena and his organization, Los Setas, are in an untouchable position.

The Mexican Federal Police gave the code name to the great Arturo Guzman Decena, which was Z. This became known in the media and ‘Z’ became the letter for him.

The dwarf who looked into all of Z's eyes said,

“I'm in stable condition because of the medicine, so I'm not excited for a while. Try to hold out as long as you can without taking the pills. If the drug becomes resistant, then it's really bad. ”

Z smiles at the dwarf.

“What are you worried about already? The doctor will develop a new drug before it becomes resistant. ”

Dr. Wirgen Zimmer shakes his head.

“I'm really serious. Your hormone system is about to collapse. If you take more of those pills, there could be permanent deformation in the boss' body. ”

Z places his hand on Dr. Jimmer's shoulder.

“Everyone dies anyway. I'd rather burn for a second than die naturally, and then disappear. Don't you agree, Reuben? ”

When Dr. Wirgen left, Z said:

“Did you find out what they were? ”

Ruben Salinas replies.

“We lost track of them in Costa Rica. where they traveled by smuggling ships. They're not that dense. ”

“What was the helicopter you said you were looking for? ”

“There were no traces of fuel in Mexico. ”

The expression of Z was crumpled.

“Dammit, even if I was guarding the place! ”

Ruben Salinas shakes his head, devoting himself to Z's bodyguard and right arm.

“I had no choice. If Z and El Chateau hadn't left their post to stop the Americans, we'd all be dead by now. ”

You hear a sound from Z's mouth.

“You must take revenge. It's dishonorable for our organization to stand idly by. Make sure you find out who they are! ”

“Yes!!! ”

Reuben Salinas was confident of finding out who the killer was.

He was waiting for a smuggler from Costa Rica to return across the Atlantic.

< Tong, Tong, Tong, Tong, Tong. >

Every time John Ackins stepped on the tread, there was a commotion.

His body was in a mess due to prolonged detention, but his vows did not stop him.

It is because the best way to temporarily put the flame of vengeance in John's heart is between the flesh.

Every time John Ackins wavered, so did his vows.

In particular, every time I saw John's left finger, which had been cut off three times, I added more.

He looks like John's misfortune is his own.

It's because John's finger was fine in his past life, even though he couldn't help it.

As vows stare into the back of John Ackins' eyes, his phone spits out a disturbing sound that rarely rings.

It's been a long time since I heard the voice of Andrew Yeats.

“A quest came in? ”

Seowon left the gym with his phone in his ear.

“What the hell kind of mission is that with a level three crew? ”

Seowon's eyes were frozen.

“Nicaragua?”

Nicaragua is not far from Mexico. Moreover, it has come from Costa Rica to take a smurf.

I felt intense excitement and strange fear at the same time.
